Commissioners hold back on funding for marine center BY CHELSEA DAVIS The World
COQUILLE — County commissioners decided to only give the Charleston Marine Life Center a fraction of the extra funding it needs to wrap up unforeseen construction costs, saying it would be irresponsible to throw money at a noncounty project when the county’s coffers are already low. Oregon Institute of Marine Biology Director Craig Young came to the Coos County commissioners Tuesday morning asking for another $45,000 for the marine center, which has been in development for seven years. Several code unexpected I wish we could changes mean OIMB is short on funds to do more, I just finish the center by the end of the year. don’t think we Commissioner John Sweet offered should. Young a comproJohn Sweet mise: The county Coos County commissioner will give OIMB a $10,000 “over-thetop” grant from the economic development reserves fund. “That means that you don’t come back again saying, ‘I’m short,’” Sweet said. “You can use that pledge as a magnet to attract funding from other sources.” His proposal received unanimous approval, but Commissioner Bob Main tried afterward to give OIMB another $10,000 out of this year’s economic development fund. His motion didn’t get a “second,” so the idea died. “I wish we could do more, I just don’t think we should,” Sweet said. Sweet’s hesitation parallels the last time Young

Awareness starts with a night in the park THE WORLD NORTH BEND — Twenty-four hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year, men and women in uniform patrol the streets of the South Coast in an attempt to keep crime at bay. Most of the time, the only direct contact law-abiding citizens have with law enforcement is when they themselves fall victim to crime or tragedy. On Tuesday evening, however, Coos County residents and their families got a chance to kick back and relax with local emergency personnel as part of the National Night Out at Ferry Road Park. The drug-, smoke- and alcohol-free event originally started in 1984 by the National Association of Town Watch to promote community awareness of crime. It’s since spread to cities across the country, which celebrate the event on the same day. North Bend has had its Night Out event at Ferry Road Park for years. “We love coming down here,” said Simpson Heights resident Kent Sharman, whose family has lived in the neighborhood for more than a decade. While kids clinging to bags of popcorn ran toward giant

Russian hackers steal 1.2B passwords THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — Russian hackers have stolen 1.2 billion user names and passwords in a series of Internet heists affecting 420,000 websites, according to a report published Tuesday. The thievery was described in a New York Times story based on the findings of Hold Security, a Milwaukee firm that has a history of uncovering online security breaches. Hold Security didn’t immediately respond to Associated Press inquiries. The identities of the websites that were broken into weren’t identified by the Times, which cited nondisclosure agreements that required Hold Security to keep some information confidential. The reported break-ins are the latest incidents to raise doubts about the security measures both big and small companies use to protect people’s information online.
Security experts believe hackers will continue breaking into computer networks unless companies become more vigilant. “Companies that rely on usernames and passwords have to develop a sense of urgency about changing this,” Avivah Litan, a security analyst at the research firm Gartner told the Times. Retailer Target Corp.is still struggling to win back its shoppers’ trust after hackers believed to be attacking from Eastern Europe stole 40 million credit card numbers and 70 million addresses, phone numbers and other personal information last winter. Alex Holden, the founder and chief information security officer of Hold Security, told the Times that most of the sites hit by the Russian hackers are still vulnerable to further break-ins. Besides filching 1.2 billion online passwords, the
Protect yourself: Create better passwords NEW YORK (AP) — This week’s news that a Russian crime ring has amassed some 1.2 billion username and password combinations makes now a good time to review ways to protect yourself online. The hacking misdeeds were described in a New York Times story based on the findings of Hold Security, a Milwaukee firm that has a history of uncovering online security
COOS BAY — The Oregon Coast Music Festival celebrated its 36th season this year by reaching a larger and, in some cases, younger audience. That is something the Oregon Coast Music Association, which operates the festival, hopes is the start of a trend. As they look back at what went right in 2014, board members say the pieces are already falling into place for another successful fest in 2015. This year’s numbers will be hard to beat. Attendance at all concerts, over the two-week festival, were up over the prior year. Leading the way was the Pops concert, featuring the kid-friendly Lemony Snicket offering called “The Composer is Dead.” Co-Presidents Linnae Beechly and Kathy Metzger, along with board member Ron Metzger, recently went over the numbers, which showed that almost 700 people attended the Pops concert. With a boost in the number of families and small children in attendance, it amounted to an increase of over 250 seats compared with the 2013 Pops concert. The Saturday finale was also up by over 100 seats. “The first week translated into the second week,” Ron Metzger noted. The Pops boost, they believe, may also have helped the finale.

The discussions cap an unprecedented three-day gathering of African leaders in Washington. Much of the conference has centered on boosting U.S. financial ties with Africa, a continent that is home to six of the world’s 10 fastest growing economies and a rapidly expanding middle class.

Myrtlewood BY GAIL ELBER For The World
Myrtlewood (Umbellularia californica) is a tree with fragrant evergreen leaves that grows in southwestern Oregon and northwestern

California. Its lumber is notable for beautiful figuring and coloration, and since the 19th century, myrtlewood items have been the South Coast’s signature souvenir. Today, U.S. Highway 101 is home to many businesses that sell myrtlewood lumber and slabs as well as finished myrtlewood furniture and decorative items. About 500,000 board feet of myrtlewood are processed each year. Our myrtlewood, also known as California bay laurel, is no relation to Myrtus communis, the myrtle mentioned in Isaiah 55:13 as a useful and beautiful species — “Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle
tree.” And it’s only a cousin of Laurus nobilis, the fragrant “green bay tree” that the wicked flourish like in Psalm 37:35. Nevertheless, some myrtlewood gift shops perpetuate the canard that sailors of Sir Francis Drake’s Pacific expedition planted myrtlewood seeds from the Holy Land when they visited the California coast in 1579. It takes 150 years for a myrtlewood tree to reach 16 inches in diameter. Oregon’s largest myrtlewood tree is at the end of the Myrtle Tree Trail about 10 miles east of Gold Beach. The Myrtlewood Factory Showroom in Hauser, started in 1911, claims to be the oldest surviving myrtlewood manufacturer.

The economic elephant in the campaign If last month’s debate between incumbent Gov. John Kitzhaber and challenger Dennis Richardson was any indication, we may be headed into a general election campaign that misses the forest as it concentrates on the trees. Kitzhaber sparred with Richardson, a state representative whose district includes part of Josephine County, on issues ranging from education reform to the state’s failed Cover Oregon health care exchange website. If Richardson wants to have a serious shot at denying an unprecedented fourth term to Kitzhaber, he’s going to need to swing for the fence rather than playing small-ball with criticism of the Cover Oregon debacle and Kitzhaber’s stand on Common Core standards for public schools. The candidate who deserves to win this election will be the one who best outlines a vision that will allow the rest of the state to climb out of the hole left by the Great Recession to the same extent that Portland already has. The unemployment rate in the Portland metro area is now down to 6.1 percent. Meanwhile, here in Josephine County the rate remains stubbornly high at 9.7 percent, the same as the rate in nearby Klamath County. Both Curry and Crook counties still have rates above 10 percent. Whether working toward economic improvements in rural Oregon is a winning strategy when election day rolls around remains to be seen. Still, it’s a debate that

Colorado, Washington offer guidance for state’s pot vote To no one’s surprise, state officials announced last week that a marijuana legalization measure had received enough signatures from registered voters throughout Oregon to qualify for the ballot. The Oregon measure would allow adults 21 and older to buy and possess marijuana and would give the Oregon Liquor Control Commission the job of regulating and taxing the drug. Early polling suggests that the new measure enjoys support among Oregon voters.The new measure faces opposition from law enforcement officials throughout the state, and a national anti-legalization group, Smart Approaches to Marijuana, will be weighing in on the issue as well. But voters trying to decide how to cast their votes in November have the luxury of taking a careful look at how legalization is proceeding in Washington and Colorado. In Colorado, it’s
been a mixed bag. According to a recent story in The New York Times, the state has struggled with the regulation of edible marijuana items which have been linked to the hospitalizations of nine children the deaths of two adults. At the same time, Colorado officials say the still-infant industry has generated $12.6 million in taxes and fees thus far; that’s less than expected, but it’s still money the state didn’t have before legalization. In Washington, the effort is just underway — but the results there over the next few months should be equally instructive for Oregon voters trying to decide how they stand on marijuana legalization. Albany Democrat-Herald
Firefighting money needs quick approval U.S. senators, much as they might like to think otherwise, cannot always demand action and then get it. Like the rest of the world, they must operate within a system, and in their case the system is controlled by Harry Reid, D-Nev. It is Reid, as Senate majority leader, who
controls the Senate’s calendar, deciding what bills will be voted upon and when, among other things. That’s why Oregon Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley wrote to Reid and Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell earlier this week urging a quick vote on the Obama administration’s emergency supplemental funding request. That request includes some $615 million in emergency funds to fight wildfires. As an emergency bill, there need be no hearings on the measure, but that seems unlikely.It contains some $2.73 billion in funds to handle the flood of children coming into this country from Central America, and Republicans in both the Senate and the House of Representatives have made clear they will not vote to approve spending that money. Reid cannot force Republicans in either house to vote for a spending bill that includes money for undocumented child immigrants, of course, but he can work to persuade Mikulski and members of the appropriations committee to separate the measure into two bills, one dealing with child immigrants, the other including funds for fighting wildfires. The need for additional firefighting money is a true emergency. Forests and rangelands are burning now; houses and other buildings are being destroyed today. The (Bend) Bulletin
When violence comes On Thursday night, July 24, Xinran Ji was walking home from his study group meeting, four blocks from USC, where he was a graduate student in engineering. According to police, four teenagers, three boys and a girl, beat 24-year-old Ji with a baseball bat and a wrench. No reason. No connection. Ji managed to struggle back to his apartment, where his roommate found him the next morning, dead in a pool of blood that police traced back to the spot where he was attacked. I’ve taught at USC for 24 years. Two years after I arrived, the riots happened all around USC — but the campus was not touched. The university has made a concerted effort to be a part of its South Los Angeles neighborhood, even as another killing of two Chinese graduate students back in 2012 led to more fences and more security cameras and increased patrols. So violent crime is way down, which is hardly a comfort to Ji’s parents, who lost their only child. The Los Angeles Police Department is committed to protecting the community, including the students who live in off-campus apartments in the neighborhood. So when Ji was murdered, it was only a matter of time — a very short time — SUSAN before the suspects were ESTRICH identified. Killing a young man who was Columnist obviously a USC student a few blocks from USC, with 150 security cameras capturing all activity around campus, was not only senseless, but also colossally stupid. If you want to get caught, there’s no place where the heat is more intense. So it was that four days later, the four suspects sat in a Los Angeles courtroom for the first time, two “adults” and two juveniles, all of whom will be tried as adults. Three boys and a girl. Out for a night of fun. Andrew Garcia’s mother cried outside the courtroom, saying her 18-year-old son is innocent and had gone to spend the day at the beach. Garcia was charged with capital murder along with Jonathan DelCarmen, 19; Alberto Ochoa, 17; and Alejandra Guerrero, 16. The two minors, Ochoa and Guerrero, were reportedly fighting tears in the courtroom. Hard to feel sorry for them. Senseless violence is, almost by definition, hard to understand. Not that I can understand terrorists who kill from hate, but at least we can identify a reason — a terrifying one, to be sure, grounded in a violent belief system — for what they do. Two gangs go to war. Extremists kill in the name of belief. But why do four kids from LA kill a Chinese grad student? Are they jealous of his education? I don’t think so. Years ago, I read a volume of interviews that the Vera Institute of Justice conducted with violent youth. What was most terrifying was not the anger that came through, but the utter lack of humanity. Violent predators are not like the rest of us. They kill for fun, for sport, for the sake of it. To compare them to animals is an insult to animals. To expect that we can rehabilitate them assumes a will to change. Prosecutors have yet to decide whether they will seek the death penalty for the two adults. The two juveniles, under state law, are not subject to capital punishment, but face the prospect of life imprisonment without parole. It is unlikely that these four will ever see the light of day. If only there were just four of them.
Letters to the Editor Getting the terms right Dianne reading After Harrison’s letter in the July 29 issue, about poor editing, I can’t resist reporting an error on the next page. The article about Fukushima reports that no “radiation” has been found in Oregon’s waters. I spent 11 years in the U.S. Navy’s nuclear power program and operated several reactors similar
to Fukushima. The proper term to use in such a report is “radioactivity” not “radiation.” Harold Bailey North Bend

One person can make a world of difference When Cokie was a freshman at Wellesley College in 1960,she met a boy from Harvard named Marc Roberts at a political event. Two years later at another meeting, she saw someone who looked a lot like Marc. But when she greeted him, she realized it wasn’t quite Marc. His nametag read “Steve Roberts,” so she said, “Are you Marc Roberts’ brother?” He looked down at her badge, which read “Cokie Boggs,” and replied, “Yes. Are you Barbara Boggs’ sister?” That’s how we met. We were married four years later with Marc as the best man. So when he died suddenly last week at 71, our grief was deeply personal. He brought us together. Few if any people knew us longer — or better. But the dismay at his death spread far beyond our family circle. For almost 40 years, Marc was a professor at the Harvard School of Public Health, and he traveled the world as an adviser to developing nations, helping them establish effective health delivery systems. He taught thousands of students in more than 30 countries, and as social media spread news of his passing, the names and nationalities of the people who wanted to share their feelings reflected the vast range of Marc’s

influence. An Australian psychiatrist now working in Syria; a public health official in Malaysia; a former grad student in Taiwan; a member of Germany’s parliament. They all made the same point: One person can make a difference. Marc was not a religious man, but he lived by the Hebrew concept tikkun olam, which means repairing or healing the world. Hadia Samaha, a colleague in the Congo, wrote on Facebook: “I had the pleasure and honor of working with Marc for more than 10 years, traveling the world with him and witnessing how he would captivate his audience, doing what he lived to do the most: teaching.” In 1943, there was no way to tell that a mother was having twins, so the arrival of two Roberts boys
was a bit of a shock.“What a lot of baby,” murmured their mother when told the news. In his memoir, “My Fathers’ Houses” (William Morrow, 2005), Steve reflected on the “strange and special” experience of being a twin: “You are seldom alone. Most of our baby pictures show us together in a carriage, in a sand box, dumping blocks on the floor. Looking back I think it was a good thing. A twin never labors under the illusion that he or she is the sole center of the universe. “Sure, there were times when Marc and I hated each other. He split my head open at least twice — once with a dried corncob, once with a board that had a rusty nail protruding from it — but we always had a companion and a playmate. (Although my mother does recall the time we appeared at her feet and proclaimed, ‘We don’t have anybody to play with.’)” Marc contracted polio at age 6, and that early illness forced him to focus on a life of words and books, ideas and arguments. In her book “Entwined Lives,” psychologist Nancy Segal studied the twins’ relationship and wrote: “Marc was a university scholar when he was 8. Will Roberts watched his son ‘delivering lectures’ on the state of the world to anyone who
would listen.” So his future path was not exactly a surprise. The twins arrived at Harvard together in the fall of 1960. And except for two brief periods — a Fulbright year in England, a semester teaching at Stanford — Marc never left. He graduated summa cum laude in 1964, earned his Ph.D. in economics five years later, and in 1975 was appointed to the faculty of the School of Public Health. His classroom style — forceful and challenging, often laced with humor and an occasional profanity — was “legendary,” according to a colleague and co-author, Michael Reich. “Students viewed the world differently after a public health course with professor Roberts,” says Reich. They didn’t just view the world differently. They viewed themselves differently. They saw that they, too, could make a difference. “Marc was a great mentor and friend to many of us,” wrote one of his former grad students, Bradley Chen. “His words of wisdom and encouragement guided me to where I am.His voice and laughter are still so vivid in my ear.” They are vivid in our ears, too. So is his legacy. Student by student, class by class, year by year, he helped heal the world.

Obituaries and News of the West Expectant mom with a past must consider baby’s future
Pedestrian killed on bridge
DEAR ABBY: Coming out of an abusive relationship in the past, I made some poor decisions. I moved away from home and into pornography and prostitution. I come from a small town, and it became a big deal when it hit the Internet. Everyone in my generation back home knew what I DEAR did. Ye a rs later, I’m back home. I have a wonderful husband and we’re ex p e c t i n g our first child — a JEANNE PHILLIPS girl. My husband loves and accepts me in spite of my past, and my mother has become my best friend. I love my life here. Nowhere else feels like home. But I’m worried that my child’s life could be miserable here because of my past. She will go to school with the children of people who know my history. No parent would want their child around me and — by extension — her. She may also learn the unsavory things I did. I’m torn between moving away for her sake or staying. My parents are aging and have no one else to care for them. They can’t follow me, but say I should do what is best for the baby. I hate the idea of deserting my parents when they need me. But I also hate that my child will be ostracized. Can you help? — LOST IN THE SOUTH DEAR LOST: For your child’s sake, I think you should relocate. As I’m sure you have already realized, people can be cruel and they love to talk. When children overhear what is said over the back fence, they can be cruel, too, and I’d rather your daughter wasn’t subjected to it. (This is not to imply that wherever you go, you might not encounter someone who recognizes you — but the chances are less.) You don’t have to move right away. Take your time and scout out locations. Arrangements can be made for care if your parents need it. But your daughter’s welfare must come first. DEAR ABBY: When you go to the store for milk and eggs there is a “sellby” date on the package. How long after that date is it safe to use them? — WONDERING IN NEW JERSEY DEAR WONDERING: to According Eatbydate.com, when it comes to milk, the length of time it lasts beyond the expiration date on the carton depends on what kind of milk it is. Lactose-free and non-fat milk last another seven to 10 days. Skim and reduced-fat milk, one week. Whole milk should last five to seven days. Of course, for this to happen, the milk must be stored properly, at a temperature at or below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics states that eggs should be refrigerated at the time you buy them and as soon as possible upon your return home, and can be used up to three weeks after the sell-by date if they have been stored properly.

Gorge fire threatens town of Rowena

PORTLAND (AP) — Police in Portland say a pedestrian has been struck and killed by a tractor-trailer rig on the Marquam Bridge. Sgt. Pete Simpson says the driver remained at the scene late Tuesday night and was cooperating with police. Northbound Interstate 5 traffic was being diverted to northbound Interstate 405 while the accident was investigated.

Amid respite, West readies for more wildfires BURNEY, Calif. (AP) — Wildfires, like earthquakes, are a frightening fact of life in California, just more predictable. So as thousands of firefighters made progress in taming more than a dozen blazes that have pockmarked the northern half of the state, fire officials and anxious residents of droughtafflicted rural communities breathed a shallow sigh of relief they knew might not last long. Light rain and an infusion of personnel and equipment from as far away as San Diego allowed fire crews to gain momentum Tuesday on a pair of wildfires that exploded over the weekend in a national forest filled with moisturestarved fallen trees, U.S. Forest Service spokesman Jim Mackensen said. The two fires burning about 7 miles apart in Shasta and Lassen counties were among nine major wildfires that erupted in a 24-hour period last week, most sparked by lightning.
Firefighters “are a finite resource, and we hit all the fires that we can as quickly as we can and we are successful most of the time keeping the fires at less than 10 acres,” Mackensen said. “When you get that many fires in remote locations and they all hit at once, we ran out of folks essentially, so they got bigger and we had to play catch-up a little bit.” Eight homes, a historic post office and a restaurant were lost in the smaller of the two fires that started in Lassen National Forest, and a town of 3,000 and its electrical supply remained threatened. But the spread of the second blaze had slowed enough that people living in its path who had been evacuated since Friday night were allowed to return home on Tuesday afternoon. temperatures Cooler and scattered showers also helped firefighters hold the line on four fires that have torched 51 square miles of wilderness and range and prompted evac-
uations in the state’s farthest reaches, including one that started in Oregon. The precipitation was a mixed blessing, however, since thunderstorms forecast for Northern California and Southern Oregon could bring winds that would exacerbate existing fires and lightning that could cause new ones. And after Wednesday, the regions were expected to heat up again through next week. In Washington, two large fires grew amid warnings of strong winds and low relative humidity on Tuesday. “We are not out of the woods yet,” Mark Ghilarducci, director of the California Office of Emergency Services, said after surveying the Shasta and Lassen fires from a helicopter on Tuesday. “This event is the kind of thing we have been talking about all year, and it’s not unexpected that we will be in these conditions again this summer, so this is not a one-off.”

ROWENA (AP) — A wildfire in the Columbia Gorge is threatening homes in the community of Rowena, between Mosier and The Dalles. The Wasco County sheriff’s office says residents of seven homes have been told to evacuate, and others have been told to prepare to leave. The Oregonian reports the fire was reported about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday in brush. It spread to scrub oak and timber and covered about 70 acres Wednesday morning.
Portland mayor says tolls inevitable PORTLAND (AP) — Portland Mayor Charlie Hales says tolls on Oregon highways are inevitable. He told KOIN the money is needed for maintenance, as federal funding fades. Hales expects tolls could be added to Highway 26 and Interstate 5 in the city. He ran into opposition from businesses and others in May when he proposed street fees for safety and maintenance.

Death Notices
GRANTS PASS (AP) — National wildlife refuges around the country are phasing out genetically modified crops and a class of pesticides related to nicotine in programs meant to provide food for wildlife. A July 17 letter from James W. Kurth, chief of the national refuge system, makes no specific mention of any concerns that the pesticides or the crops pose risks to wildlife or pollinators, such as bees and butterflies. It just says they don’t fit refuge objectives, such as promoting natural ecosystems. “We make this decision based on a precautionary approach to our wildlife management practices, and not on agricultural practices,” he wrote. But it comes after a July order to phase out neonicotinoid pesticides on wildlife refuges in the Northwest and Hawaii that mentioned concerns about harm to bees and after a White House memorandum directing federal agencies to promote pollinator health in the face significant losses in recent decades of insects, bats and birds that pollinate fruits,

Be careful on NW ocean beaches WARRENTON (AP) — Alarmed by the number of people swept into the ocean during the past two months along the Oregon and Washington coasts, the Coast Guard is warning beachgoers to be aware of possible dangers. Since July 3, four of those cases have ended in fatalities. Cmdr. Bill Gibbons is chief of response for Coast Guard Sector Columbia River. He notes that those caught in NW ocean currents are often visitors to the area who don’t realize the dangers. Gibbons says in one case, a victim was only in water up to his knees when he was knocked down by a wave and pulled out into the ocean.
Inspectors refuse to enter grain terminal PORTLAND (AP) — U.S. Department of Agriculture grain inspectors are refusing to walk past picket lines and into a grain terminal in Vancouver, Washington. The action comes as harvest approaches and shortly after state grain inspectors from the Washington State Department of Agriculture stopped entering the United Grain terminal, citing safety concerns because of picketing longshoremen. The Capital Press newspaper reports that federal inspectors continue to work at the Columbia Grain facility in Portland, where locked-out longshoremen are also picketing.

Conservation and food safety groups also petitioned for the change. “Fish and Wildlife by this action is showing tremendous leadership in standing up for wildlife and banning two of the most harmful practices in agriculture,” said Lori Ann Burd, endangered species campaign director for the Center for Biological Diversity. “Now is the time to take this ban beyond refuges.” Wildlife refuges commonly allow farmers to grow crops on their land, on the condition they leave some behind to feed wildlife. Citing a May decision by a leadership team on agricultural practices on refuges, Kurth told refuge managers to phase out GMO crops and neonicotinoids by January 2016. Exceptions can be made, particularly on refuges that include lands mandated by law for agriculture use, such as the Tule Lake and Upper and Lower Klamath in Northern refuges California and southern Oregon.

Great referrals key to great results It’s been more than a year ago that my husband remodeled our home. This is no ordinary man. He has an amazing ability to design, destroy and rebuild with amazing results. This remodel was extensive, which means by the time he hauled 30 truckloads of EVERYDAY CHEAPSKATE demolition to t h e dump, I had dirt for floors w i t h beams and studs for walls. N o w imagine Mary t h i s : Hunt Both of us continued our fast-paced work schedules through these six months of chaos. We didn’t move out to temporary quarters. We worked every spare moment. Being novices, we hired professionals for plumbing, electrical, drywall and so on. Normally, this would have brought me to a screeching halt. How can you find a reliable, honest, quality professional to do this kind of important work in your home? We’ve all heard horror stories of fly-by-night subcontractors who promise but don’t deliver. We just didn’t have time to interview and get multiple bids. We wanted real, honest and reliable referrals from people like us who could recommend professionals for our job. I visited Yelp.com, and while I found a ton of information, I didn’t feel completely comfortable. How can the same plumber, for example, get several 5-star reviews and 14 2-star reviews? That’s not consistent and makes me wonder, were the 5-stars from family members wanting to counteract the lower ratings? Did a disgruntled employee post reviews with low ratings to get back at the company? I’ll use Yelp.com to shop for restaurants and hair salons, but when it comes to my home, I need a more reliable source. Angie’s List (www.everydaycheapskate.com/angieslist) has delivered beyond my expectations in the past, so it was only logical to head there again. I find this is a membership service (about $10 a year) worth every penny. The thing I like is that every referral is from someone who has actually used that service. The referrals are detailed and specific. We hired all of the workers we needed directly as a result of the referrals on Angie’s List. If I sound like a crazed fan, that’s because I am. Without exception, we have received exactly the A+ results we expected from the more than nine companies we hired. This is not a fluke. It’s the value of getting good referrals before the job starts, not shooting in the dark, and then having to deal with a mess on the other end. Want to see the remodel results? Go to EverydayCheapskate.com, look for “Mary’s LIfe.” Earlier this year, we purchased another home in Colorado, with the plan to lease it out. Here I was in California needing to get that home ready for occupancy. I added Colorado to my Angie’s List subscription and went to work. I hired a carpet cleaner, housecleaner, garage door servicer, electrician and plumber to perform specific jobs and upgrades — using only Angie’s List as my resource. I handled everything from long distance, scheduling all of the work from my office in California. I gave each worker the access code to the garage door opener so they could get in. Without exception, each of these companies I hired went way beyond the call of duty. That house shone like a new penny, and we leased it immediately — all long distance. I owe this all to knowing how to find the best professionals, based on referrals from real, live people who make up the community of Angie’s List. Angie, if you’re out there, thank you. Your service has given me peace of mind, confidence and saved us so much time plus all the money we didn’t waste by hiring the wrong people.

NEWS D I G E S T Cease-fire holds for second day GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — A cease-fire between Israel and Hamas that ended a month of war was holding for a second day Wednesday, ahead of negotiations in Cairo on a long-term truce and a broader deal for the war-ravaged Gaza Strip. In the coming days, Egyptian mediators are to shuttle between delegations from both sides to try to work out a deal. The Palestinian delegation is composed of negotiators from all major factions, including Hamas, the Islamic militant group that controls Gaza.

Missouri inmate put to death for 1995 killing BONNE TERRE, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri man was put to death Wednesday for raping and killing a college student in 1995, making him the first U.S. prisoner executed since a lethal injection in Arizona last month in which an inmate took nearly two hours to die. The Missouri Department of Corrections said Michael Worthington was executed by lethal injection at the state prison south of St. Louis and was pronounced dead at 12:11 a.m., 10 minutes after the process began. He is the seventh Missouri inmate executed this year.
Death toll in China quake rises to 589 LUDIAN, China (AP) — The death toll in southern China’s earthquake jumped from 410 to 589 on Wednesday as search and rescue teams found scores more bodies while pushing into isolated mountain communities to clear debris from collapsed homes. The Yunnan provincial government said more than 2,400 people were injured in Sunday’s 6.1 magnitude quake in the mountainous farming region of Ludian county — the country’s deadliest temblor in four years and its biggest test of emergency response under leader Xi Jinping.

Color guard and members of the Cincinnati Chapter of Scouts for Equality march through the crowd for the National Anthem at a rally led by the group Why Marriage Matters Ohio in support of gay marriage in Lytle Park on Tuesday in Cincinnati. Federal appeals courts soon will hear arguments in gay marriage fights from nine states, part of a slew of cases putting pressure on the U.S. Supreme Court to issue a final verdict.
Court hearing gay marriage arguments from 4 states CINCINNATI (AP) — A federal appeals court is set to hear arguments in six gay marriage fights from four states — Kentucky, Ohio and Michigan, Tennessee — in the biggest such session on the issue so far. Three judges of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati will consider arguments Wednesday that pit states’ rights and traditional, conservative values against what plaintiffs’ attorneys say is a fundamental right to marry under the U.S. Constitution. Large demonstrations are expected outside the courthouse by both opponents and supporters. and Michigan’s Kentucky’s cases stem from rulings striking down each state’s gay marriage bans. Ohio’s case deals only with the state’s recognition of out-of-state gay marriages, while Tennessee’s is narrowly focused on the rights of three same-sex couples. Attorneys on both sides in the Michigan and Ohio cases will go first and get a halfhour each to make their cases. Kentucky and Tennessee will follow, with 15 minutes for each side from both states. Hundreds of gay marriage supporters rallied Tuesday at
a park near Cincinnati’s riverfront on the eve of the court arguments. The Rev. Mary Moore of Dayton, interim minister at the Miami Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship church, says she has performed many services of “holy union” for same-sex couples, but they are not recognized by the state. “It’s not fair that all of the marriages I perform aren’t allowed to be on an equal basis,” she said. Mason Gersh, 19, of Louisville, Kentucky, said he hoped to be inside the courthouse to hear the legal arguments. “Equality for all is a civil right, and we all need to fight for that,” said Gersh, who is gay. Since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down part of the federal Defense of Marriage Act last year, gay marriage advocates have won more than 20 victories in federal courts. No decision has gone the other way in that time. Constitutional law professors and court observers say the 6th Circuit could deliver the first victory to gay marriage opponents. The three judges hearing the case are Jeffrey S. Sutton and Deborah L. Cook, both nominees of President George W. Bush, and Martha Craig Daughtrey, a pick of
President Bill Clinton. Sutton is considered the least predictable, shocking Republicans in 2011 when he became the deciding vote in a 6th Circuit ruling that upheld President Barack Obama’s landmark health care overhaul. If the 6th Circuit decides against gay marriage, that would create a divide among federal appeals courts and put pressure on the U.S. Supreme Court to settle the issue for good in its 2015 session. Two federal appeals courts already have ruled in favor of gay marriage, one in Denver in June and another in Richmond, Virginia, last week. On Tuesday, Utah appealed the ruling from the Denver-based court, asking the U.S. Supreme Court to take up the case and uphold the state’s ban.

US terrorism database doubles in recent years WASHINGTON (AP) — A U.S. government database of known or suspected terrorists doubled in size in recent years, according to newly released government figures. The growth is the result of intelligence agencies submitting names more often after a near-miss attack in 2009. There were 1.1 million people in the database at the end of 2013, according to the National Counterterrorism Center, which maintains the information. About 550,000 people were listed in the database in March 2010. The Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment, or TIDE, is a huge, classified database of people who are known terrorists, are suspected of having ties to terrorism or in some cases are related to or are associates of known or suspected terrorists. It feeds to smaller lists that restrict people’s abilities to travel on commercial airliners to or within the U.S. The government does not need evidence linking someone to terrorism in order for the person to be included in the database. This is among the reasons the database and subsequent terror watch lists have been criticized by privacy advocates. An online publication, The Intercept, on Tuesday reported that 40 percent of people on the terrorism watch list — which is a subset of names in the TIDE database — were not affiliated with any recognized terrorist organization.
DONETSK, Ukraine (AP) — Air strikes and artillery fire between pro-Russian separatists and Ukrainian troops in the eastern city of Donetsk have brought the violence closer than ever to the city center, as Kiev’s forces move in on the rebel stronghold. With Ukrainian troops encircling Donetsk, Western leaders have accused Russia of building up forces along the border in what some fear may preface an intervention. On Wednesday, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said he believed that the “the threat of a direct intervention (by Russia) is definitely greater than it was a few days ago, or two weeks ago.” Russia has repeatedly denied having such intentions and rejected Ukrainian and Western claims of a military buildup on the border. President Vladimir Putin has resisted mounting pressure from Russian nationalists to send the army in to back the mutiny in eastern Ukraine. Even though the U.S. and NATO would be unlikely to respond militarily, the West would be certain to impose massive sanctions that would put the shaky Russian economy on its knees — and quickly erode
Putin’s power. Moscow has pushed for a cease-fire in the east, but the Ukrainian government has appeared bent on riding the momentum of a series of recent military advances to crush the rebels. The Donetsk city administration said in a statement published online Tuesday that three people had been killed in shelling overnight. In the Kalininsky neighborhood only 3 miles east of Donetsk’s central square, rebels and civilians were milling around outside after a night of what many said they believed were Ukrainian air strikes. There were eight craters at the scene that appeared to be the result of aerial bombing. In another rebel stronghold, the city of Horlivka about 22 miles north of Donetsk, the city council said in Wednesday’s statement that 33 civilians have been killed and 129 wounded by shelling over the past few days. The claim couldn’t be independently verified. As the Ukrainian military intensified its campaign against the rebels, heavily populated areas have increasingly come under attack.
12-year-old charged in fatal playground stabbing KENTWOOD, Mich. (AP) — The giggles and innocence neighbors associated with the playground at the Pinebrook Village mobile home park vanished in the screams of a 9-year-old boy, who witnesses and authorities said was stabbed in the back by a 12-year-old. The older boy now faces a murder charge, and authorities say they are still investigating what led to the attack. “The kids, I thought they were just playing,” neighbor Barb Poelman, 50, told The Associated Press on Tuesday. “They’re always out there playing.” Michael Conner Verkerke, his brother, his best friend and another child were playing Monday on the playground in Kentwood, near Grand Rapids. Witnesses said one boy pulled a knife and stabbed Michael in the back. “We were sitting right on
our deck,” Poelman said. “We heard the kids run across the front ... screaming. He (Michael) ran with the kids that were with him.” Witnesses and police said Michael ran to his home and collapsed, bleeding on the porch. His mother, Poelman said, pleaded for help on the grass outside. “She was screaming, ‘Where is the ambulance?’ while her boy was laying on bleeding,” the porch Poelman said. Michael died a short time later at a hospital. The 12-year-old, meanwhile, went to Glen Stacy’s home nearby after the stabbing, witnesses said. Stacy told The Grand Rapids Press the boy asked to use his phone. He said the boy called 911 to report the attack and turn himself in. Stacy said he also called police and described the boy as “very calm.”

OCMF Plans starting for next year Continued from Page A1 “One of our big battles is just getting people to come (see an orchestra concert) the first time,” Beechly noted. “After they have been there once, and have that wonderful experience, they are willing to come again.” To help win that battle, the board mounted a major push leading up to this years festival, including creating a new family ticket price for the Pops and a concert series ticket option. That option allows the purchaser to get a ticket for all three concerts for the price of two. When coupled with an increase in drawings for tickets, and traditional efforts to get the word out, it made for a winning combination.
PASSWORDS Continued from Page A1 breaches. Hold Security called the data “the largest known collection of stolen Internet Hold’s credentials.” researchers did not identify the origins of the data or name the victim websites, citing nondisclosure agreements. The company also said it didn’t want to name companies whose websites are still vulnerable to hacking, according to the Times report. If there’s reason to believe any of your passwords might have been compromised, change them immediately. One of the best things you can do is to make sure your passwords are strong. Here are seven ways to fortify them: ■ Make your password long. The recommended minimum is eight characters, but 14 is better and 25 is even better than that. Some services have character limits on passwords, though. ■ Use combinations of letters and numbers, upper and lower case and symbols such as the exclamation mark. Some services won’t let you do all of that, but try to vary it as much as you can. “PaSsWoRd!43” is far better than “password43.” ■ Avoid words that are in dictionaries, even if you add

numbers and symbols. There are programs that can crack passwords by going through databases of known words. One trick is to add numbers in the middle of a word — as in “pas123swor456d” instead of “password123456.” Another is to think of a sentence and use just the first letter of each word — as in “tqbfjotld” for “the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” ■ Substitute characters. For instance, use the number zero instead of the letter O, or replace the S with a dollar sign. ■ Avoid easy-to-guess words, even if they aren’t in the dictionary. You shouldn’t use your name, company name or hometown, for instance. Avoid pets and relatives’ names, too. Likewise, avoid things that can be looked up, such as your birthday or ZIP code. But you might use that as part of a complex password. Try reversing your ZIP code or phone number and insert that into a string of letters. As a reminder, you should also avoid “password” as the password, or consecutive keys on the keyboard, such as “1234” or “qwerty.” ■ Never reuse passwords on other accounts — with two exceptions. Over the years, I’ve managed to create hundreds of accounts. Many are for one-time use, such as
when a newspaper website requires me to register to read the full story. It’s OK to use simple passwords and repeat them in those types of situations, as long as the password isn’t unlocking features that involve credit cards or posting on a message board. That will let you focus on keeping passwords to the more essential accounts strong. The other exception is to log in using a centralized signon service such as Facebook Connect. Hulu, for instance, gives you the option of using your Facebook username and password instead of creating a separate one for the video site. This technically isn’t reusing your password,but a matter of Hulu borrowing the log-in system Facebook already has in place. The account information isn’t stored with Hulu.
Facebook merely tells Hulu’s computers that it’s you. Of course, if you do this, it’s even more important to keep your Facebook password secure. ■ Some services such as Gmail even give you the option of using two passwords when you use a particular computer or device for the first time. If you have that feature turned on,the service will send a text message with a six-digit code to your phone when you try to use Gmail from an unrecognized device. You’ll need to enter that for access, and then the code expires. It’s optional, and it’s a pain — but it could save you from grief later on. Hackers won’t be able to access the account without possessing your phone. Turn it on by going to the account’s security settings.

junk messages on social networks on Twitter, the newspaper said. The breadth of these break-ins should serve as a chilling reminder of the skullduggery that has been going undetected on the Internet for years, said John Prisco, CEO of another security firm, Triumfant. “This issue reminds me of an iceberg, where 90 percent of it is actually underwater,” Prisco said in an emailed statement.
hackers also have amassed 500 million email addresses that could help them engineer other crimes, according to Hold Security. So, far little of the information stolen in the wave of attacks appears to have been sold to other online crooks, according to the Times. Instead, the information is being used to send marketing pitches, schemes and other

placing the focus of the Pops concert on Broadway. “We’ll have some things that are going to be really approachable and accessible, all three nights, as well some things that are going to challenge the orchestra as well,” Ron Metzger explained. “And that is kind of the balance certainly that James has worked on for years.” James Paul also will share the Pops platform and take a new guest conductor under his wing next year, as the festival introduces Jonathan Tessero to the South Coast. But the board knows the success of season number 37, like that of this year’s event, depends on the support they get on the homefront. “We continue to absoluteand appreciate, ly desperately rely on, all of the support,” community Beechly stressed. “We certainly couldn’t be here without them.”

heading back into the schools next April. “We have applied for a grant, but whether we get the grant or not, we feel that this project is important enough that we are going to move forward with it,” she said. “We have a gentleman coming up from California, for a week, and he will be teaching every fourth-grader in Coos County and southern Douglas County how to play the harmonica. Every fourth-grader will also receive a Hohner harmonica.” That, they hope, will spark interest in going to see the Tommy Hogan Band, a blues group out of Bend that features harmonica and will be performing a free concert at Shore Acres State Park, during the festival. Orchestra week will then return with concerts July 21, 23 and 25, 2015, and the music is already taking shape, with Music Director James Paul

But, Beechly said, there was something else that was more noticeable this year. “Those are all helpful in the planning stages, but once you hit festival week, having (the festival) on those reader boards made a huge difference,” she said. “All the publicity that we did in the schools and the libraries, that helped tremendously, but honestly it had a lot to do with the cooperation of lots and lots of businesses throughout the community that gave us access to their reader boards. You could not go 10 feet in Coos Bay without seeing it on another reader board, and that helped to keep it in the forefront of people’s minds.” It takes a community to put on a festival, Kathy Metzger added, but it also takes a year-round effort to build interest in the music that they are bringing to the community in July.

FUNDING Grant is from reserve funds Continued from Page A1 went to the commissioners for funding for the marine center. Young asked for $120,000 in February 2013, but Main wanted to bump up the county’s contribution to nearly $152,000 (it passed 21, with Sweet as the dissenting vote). The county’s economic development fund pulls from Oregon Lottery revenue, of which the county gets about $150,000 every year. Almost all of that has been committed, but there’s nearly $600,000 that hasn’t been allocated, so giving OIMB $45,000 “wouldn’t make much of a dent,” Main said. Those funds should only be used for emergencies, Sweet said. In Young’s eyes, this is an emergency, but Sweet and Commissioner Melissa Cribbins didn’t see it that way. Sweet said they’ve already dipped into economic development funds for two emergency projects: replacing the caretaker’s facility at Bastendorff Beach County Park and upgrading Tenmile Lake County Park in Lakeside. “Although we have broken our own rules, I do see a distinction in that this is a noncounty project,” he said. Fairview resident Ronnie Herne agreed, noting that the marine center will be University of Oregonowned. “It’s not a county building; it belongs to the University of Oregon, which is not a poor organization,” she said. “We already gave (Young) more than he asked

The president also acknowledged the ongoing Ebola crisis gripping three African nations, saying the countries affected have overcome great challenges in
for the first time.” But the center will ramp up tourism, Young countered, which makes it a perfect candidate for the development economic funds. “To me, this is going to be a huge economic benefit for Coos County to have this,” Main said. In total, the marine center has received nearly $1 million in funding from various sources. “We are already the second-largest donor to this project,” Cribbins said. “Our amount is not inconsequential.” Young agreed, but said he’s running out of places to turn for the rest of the funding. “I have people in the community everywhere looking to this thing anxiously, waiting for it to open,” he said. “I really don’t think that we want to slow it down again.” Reporter Chelsea Davis can be reached at 541-2691222, ext. 239, or by email at chelsea.davis@theworldlink.com.

Thorns are a big hit in Portland You know you’re at a nextlevel sporting event when you’re watching the fans more than the action. When the 90-minutes of the crowd manipulating “OOOO-eeOOOO-ee-OOOO” gets so loud, the melody gets stuck on repeat in your head driving home. When onlookers across the street take in the action as they trudge on the elliptical like the stadium is some kind of cardioconscious Wrigley Field. When so many fans bring flags, the crowd looks like some oversized Model U.N. I got that Sunday in Portland. And it was all for a women’s SPORTS game. I made it up to my first Portland Thorns game — or any game at Providence Park for that matter — over the weekend and I couldn’t have picked a GEORGE better one. A RTSITAS I got the best atmosphere the league has ever had to offer, with the 19,123 on hand to watch the 1-0 win over the Houston Dash setting a new National Women’s Soccer League record (on top of being nationally televised on ESPN2). In case you’re not privy to the Thorns, here’s the skinny. They won the inaugural NWSL championship last year and have the U.S. women’s national team sweetheart Alex Morgan. After that, I knew nothing coming into Sunday. I just wanted to soak in my first women’s professional sporting event. Apparently Sunday’s crowd was typical. The Thorns haven’t played in front of a home crowd smaller than 9,600 fans all year — compared to the average of 3,672 on the road. With Sunday’s game, the Thorns’ average attendance is 13,021 — just 466 fewer than the Milwaukee Bucks this year. Average attendance for the league is 3,986. Belittling the importance of women’s sports happens all the time. It’s mostly men, and other than the chauvinist undertones, the argument always rolls back to interest — or lack thereof. But when you do anything in front of 19,000 bodies, the interest argument goes moot. “I said at halftime, ‘How can you not be inspired to play in front of this?’” Thorns coach Paul Riley said after Sunday’s match. “They’re just dying to sing. Give them something to sing for.” Veronica Boquete handed them sheet music in the 54th minute. Boquete poked in the game’s only goal and the crowd went off. A huge plume of red smoke rose from the stands and a legion of flags — ranging from rainbows to a skull and cross bones skewering a rose — feverishly wafted it away. Ironically enough, it’s the only time they quit singing the entire game. The Red Sea of Pacific Northwesterners doesn’t hold back. Sunday’s game featured 90 minutes straight of songs from the Rose City Riveters, led by mohawk-rocking hype women from the team. “Keep it up, Rose City. Don’t let up, no pity.” “Oh when the Thorns, come marching in.” Thorns fans have a bigger catalog than Tupac. “There’s no other fans like this in the world,” said Australian defender Stephanie Catley, who assisted on the game’s only goal. “You hear them and you don’t want to let them down. It’s amazing.” The Thorns are in good shape. They’re five points ahead of Chicago for the final playoff spot with only a couple of weeks to go. They have two more games — one at Boston this Sunday before finishing up against rival Seattle on Aug. 17 — before they hopefully get the chance to defend their title. After Sunday’s win, the Thorns made a lap around the field to thank the fans and the crowd — still packed into their seat to see their girls off — started chanting “BEAT SE-AT-TLE.” They already have. Seattle’s average attendance is 3,664.

New Orleans wide receiver Brandin Cooks tries to elude a defender during a scrimmage in training camp Saturday.
Cooks makes big impression on Saints WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) — New Orleans Saints rookie Brandin Cooks has been getting some extra sprints in during practice — often with the ball in his hands as he speeds away from would-be tacklers. The receiver’s growing collection of training camp highlights has the Saints increasingly optimistic that their latest first-round pick will be an immediate, additional threat in a receiving game led primarily by Marques Colston and tight end Jimmy Graham. “He’s good, man. He does a lot of the little things well, and that’s rare for a rookie coming right in,” Saints safety Jairus Byrd said Tuesday after practice. “He’s mature beyond his years.” The 20-year-old Cooks, who caught a pass in the end zone during red zone work on Tuesday, looked relaxed and confident as he discussed his transition to the NFL from Oregon State, where he caught 128 passes for 1,730 yards and 16 touchdowns last season. “I feel good. It’s football,” Cooks said. “I just come out here and have fun and do what I do best and be a playmaker and learn from older guys.” Cooks’ speed has been as good as advertised since he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.33 seconds at the NFL scouting combine last winter. “He can run. It is our job to get him in space and let him do that,” coach Sean Payton said.
“There will be a handful of things we have to do to get him touches, whether it is through the passing game, whether it is through handoffs, bubble screens — he has some versatility.” Cooks is also joining an offense that will make it difficult to slow him down. Graham and Colston combined for 161 receptions and 2,158 yards last season. Asked about the advantages of lining up with Graham, Cooks said, “Come on, the guy’s probably going to get triple coverage every game. So that lets guys like me and other receivers out there ... make plays out in space, one-on-one.” In the early days of camp, No. 1 quarterback Drew Brees connected with Cooks for several long gains on an array of short and deep passes during 11-on-11 drills. “Watching his explosive ability to just navigate those blocks and hit a seam — if he hits the seam, he’s gone,” Brees said. “He’s got shortarea quickness, great transition ability, and phenomenal straight-line speed.” Cooks worked out with Brees in California this summer, and the rapport they developed has been obvious since camp began. But since Brees strained a muscle in his abdomen last Friday, Cooks has continued to be a favorite target of reserve quarterbacks. “It’s awesome. A five-yard out, he’s able to
take to the house,” quarterback Ryan Griffin said. “He’s a weapon that we’re going to be able to use this year.” During an intra-squad scrimmage over the weekend, Cooks had six catches for more than 100 yards, making a falling 40-yard catch on a deep throw and later turning a short catch along the sideline into a touchdown of about 30 yards. “When you’re guarding a guy like that, you’ve got to make sure that your shoes are very tight because he will probably leave you out of your shoes,” cornerback Keenan Lewis said. “That’s a guy who has been working extremely hard, and I’m excited to see what he’ll do.” Cooks’ early camp success hardly seems to have hurt his humility. Among the first things he does after practice is ask more experienced teammates to review with him whatever he did wrong. Right tackle Zach Strief compares Cooks’ comportment to that of an eight-year veteran, adding that he is much like Colston in the way he defies the stereotype of the outspoken, diva receiver. “He’s very quiet — just comes to work, all the things you want to see,” Strief said. “I don’t know where we keep finding these receivers that don’t talk, but he’s just another one that just goes out and plays well for us.”
Bosch will plead guilty in steroids case MIAMI (AP) — The former clinic owner accused of selling performance-enhancing drugs to Alex Rodriguez has agreed to plead guilty in what prosecutors called a wide-ranging conspiracy to distribute steroids to both major league ballplayers and high school athletes. The charges filed Tuesday against former Biogenesis of America owner Anthony Bosch and six others marked one of the biggest salvos yet in a case that has dragged on for nearly two years. The case has sparked lawsuits, mudslinging and suspensions against numerous major leaguers, including Rodriguez. Also charged was Yuri Sucart, 52, a cousin of Rodriguez who the New York Yankees third baseman has said provided him with steroids from 2000 to 2003 when he played for the Texas Rangers. Sucart and the others are accused of acting as recruiters, setting up meetings between the athletes and Bosch, who introduced himself as “Dr. T,” authorities said. Professional athletes paid up to $12,000 a month for the drugs provided by Biogenesis, while high schoolers paid up to $600 a month. All the clients were promised that the substances would not be found through drug testing, prosecutors said. “He is not a doctor,” Mark R. Trouville, chief of the Miami Drug Enforcement Administration office, said of Bosch. “He is a drug dealer.”
The Associated Press
Anthony Bosch, the former owner of the Biogenesis of America clinic, leaves the federal courthouse in Miami after paying bond Tuesday following his arrest. U.S. Attorney Wifredo A. Ferrer said Bosch did not have a medical license, making what happened all the more dangerous. “As with many drug cases, these defendants were motivated by one thing — by money,” Ferrer said. Major League Baseball was not part of the criminal investigation and declined comment. No athletes were charged nor named in court documents, and it is unclear how many may have been involved. However, authorities said Bosch admitted to providing performance-enhancing drugs to 18 high schoolers. For now, Bosch has pleaded not
guilty and his bond was set at $100,000. He faces up to 10 years in prison. “In terms of an agreement to cooperate and plead guilty, Bosch has agreed to do that,” Ferrer said. Michael McCann, director of the sports and entertainment law center at the University of New Hampshire School of Law, said it’s unlikely that the players involved in this scandal will face criminal charges, unless there’s any evidence that a player went beyond using drugs and into distributing them. “They could lose an endorsement contract because of a morals clause in their contract, but if that
were to happen I think it would have already happened,” McCann said. “In terms of punishment from baseball, baseball has punished them.” The prosecution may have taken so long because investigators might have wanted to confirm the information they were getting from Bosch, even if he was cooperating, McCann said. “He’s not somebody with a great track record, there are reasons to doubt him in terms of his credibility,” he said. Joe Tacopina, a lawyer for Rodriguez, said the arrests Tuesday represent a degree of closure for Rodriguez and will enable him to focus on an eventual return to baseball. “It sort of reinforces the notion that Alex committed no crime, number one,” Tacopina said. “And number two, quite frankly, this really signified the beginning of the end of the whole Biogenesis saga and allows Alex to focus on the future going forward.” Rodriguez is currently serving a season-long suspension, the longest penalty in the sport’s history related to performanceenhancing drugs. He was the only one 14 players involved in the scandal to contest his penalty. However, since the investigation is ongoing, it remains possible that more players could eventually face sanctions as a result of the Biogenesis probe. SEE STEROIDS | B3
South Coast suffers shutout loss in regional opener THE WORLD The South Coast 15-year-old Babe Ruth all-stars got off to a rough start in the Pacific Northwest Regionals at Baker City on Wednesday, falling 11-0 to North Washington.
“Hopefully we got the nerves out of the way,” South Coast coach Bill Roderick said. South Coast pitchers struggled in the loss, though a defensive highlight was Nick Minton throwing a runner out at home plate to end an inning.
On offense, Mason Jussila led the way, going 2-for-2. Neal Rose, Joe Hixenbaugh, Chase Dibala, Hunter Bales and Brad Haga each had one hit. Minton takes the mound today in the team’s second game, against Twin Cities.
South Coast plays the host team Thursday and has an off day Friday before completing pool play Saturday against Montana. The top two squads from the five-team pool advance to the semifinals Sunday.

Portland hosts MLS All-Star game tonight PORTLAND (AP) — By the time the MLS All-Star game rolls around on Wednesday night, coach Caleb Porter will have had two training sessions with his All-Stars. Yes, just two practices to prepare for Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich. Porter is hoping his side has some fast learners. “It’s a celebration of these players, their careers,” said Porter, coach of the host Portland T imbers. “Hopefully, we can make it a competitive game and try to make it exciting with a lot of good attacking players.” Ultimately the game is an exhibition, and Porter said his main job — besides putting on a good show — is to return the players to their teams with no injuries. The All-Star game is part of a summer exhibition tour for Bayern Munich, which hasn’t visited the United States in a decade. The team defeated Chivas Guadalajara 1-0 last Thursday night at Red Bull Arena in New Jersey. Winner of 19 straight matches at one point last season, Bayern Munich brings six players from the German national team that won the World Cup this summer, including Mario Goetze and Thomas Mueller. But coach Pep Guardiola said not to expect them to play more than about 15 minutes apiece. The MLS team will also include several players from the U.S. World Cup team that advanced out of the group stage in Brazil, including Seattle’s Clint Dempsey and Toronto’s Michael Bradley. “We just played against these players on the biggest stage in the world. I think in the past, the All-Star teams have had only a few days to come together, but it’s a little bit different this year because most of us are used to playing together on the national team,” said Real Salt Lake
goalkeeper Nick Rimando, who was also on the U.S. national team. The MLS All-Stars hope to have six players from the U.S. team on the available roster. On Tuesday, midfielder Kyle Beckerman of Real Salt Lake had to withdraw because of an unspecified injury. Omar Gonzalez and Robbie Keane of the L.A. Galaxy both made the team but also had to bow out. The Galaxy did send forward Landon Donovan, who is appearing in his record 14th All-Star game. A player to watch on Bayern Munich’s side is 19year-old Julian Green, who played for the United States in Brazil and became the youngest American player to score in the World Cup with a goal against Belgium. Green, who was born in Florida but grew up in Germany, has dual citizenship. With Bayern Munich since 2010, Green is vying to make his debut with the club’s senior side this season. He’ll likely see more play than Bayern’s other World Cup stars. “He’s going to play a little bit more — for the fans, for the girls,” Guardiola joked. Last year, Italian powerhouse AS Roma, led by longtime star Francesco Totti, defeated the MLS All-Stars 3-1 in Kansas City. The Galaxy’s Gonzalez scored the only goal for the MLS side in second-half stoppage time. Bradley was on Roma’s side for that match. The MLS is 7-3-1 against international opponents since the league adopted the current All-Star game format, the only losses coming to English Premier League club Manchester United and Roma. “The best thing you can do is keep it simple.” Porter said. “I want these players to go back to their clubs healthy.”
Former teammates join James with Cavs THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND — The Cavaliers officially announced the signings of Mike Miller and James Jones, two shooters who won NBA titles with LeBron James in Miami. Miller and Jones agreed to terms with the Cavs shortly after James announced he was returning to Cleveland and signed a two-year, $41 million cont r a c t with the club. A 14-year veteran, Miller has played Orlando, Minnesota, Memphis, Washington and Miami. He’s averaged 11.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists. Miller gives the Cavs a needed outside shooting threat and a player who knows how to get open for James. Last season, Miller connected on 46 percent (107233) of his 3-pointers with the Grizzlies. Jones, too, can shoot. He has made 40 percent of his career 3s and won the league’s 3-point shootout at the 2011 All-Star game.

Golden State player faces DUI charge TAMPA, Fla. — Golden State Warriors player Marreese Speights faces a drunken driving charge in Florida. Tampa police said the former Florida Gator was arrested early Tuesday morning and charged with driving under the influence. The Warriors said in a news release that the team was aware of the arrest but had no comment. According to a police report, an officer pulled over Speights’ black Bentley shortly after 3 a.m. because he failed to yield the right of way while pulling out of a
driveway. The officer reported that Speights seemed impaired and agreed to a field sobriety test. Police say Speights’ blood-alcohol level was recorded to be 0.103 and 0.106 percent. Florida law considers a driver impaired at 0.08. Speights was released on $500 bail. Records didn’t say if he had an attorney.
FOOTBALL Hoyer is listed as starter at QB for Cleveland BEREA, Ohio — The first depth chart didn’t reveal anything new about Cleveland’s quarterback order. Brian Hoyer is first. Johnny Manziel is second. A day after Manziel took snaps with the Browns’ starting offense for the first time, Hoyer was back behind center with Cleveland’s firstteam unit during 11-on-11 drills Tuesday. With their competition seemingly tighter than at the start of training camp, Hoyer and Manziel had their best days of practice and Cleveland’s offense finally clicked. “I thought there was some good competition out there,” coach Mike Pettine said. “I was glad that the guys responded the way they did.”
Titans release reserve QB Tyler Wilson NASHVILLE, Tenn.— The Tennessee T itans have waived quarterback Tyler Wilson and agreed to terms with two players including tight end Chase Coffman. The Titans announced the moves today before practice. Wilson, who played for Arkansas, was signed last December, but the Titans traded up in the sixth round to draft Zach Mettenberger of LSU to help back up Jake and Charlie Locker Whitehurst.

Fans hold up “K” cards, signifying a strikeout as Seattle starting pitcher Felix Hernandez throws against the Atlanta Braves during Tuesday’s game.
Hernandez pitches another gem SEATTLE (AP) — Felix Hernandez has been on a record-setting pattern over the past three months and Seattle Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon wants to make sure it continues when it means a lot more. Hernandez (12-3) went eight innings, allowed one run, struck out eight and walked one in the Mariners 4-2 victory over the Atlanta Braves Tuesday. It was his 15th straight start — dating back to May 18 — in which he worked at least seven innings and allowed two runs or fewer, an on-going big-league record. Hernandez also tied Gaylord Perry’s 1974 streak with Cleveland when he had 15 straight starts with at least seven innings and allowing two or fewer earned runs. Hernandez threw just 97 pitches without a lot of stressful innings. He wanted the chance at his first complete game in nearly two years but that was enough for McClendon. Fernando Rodney worked the ninth, allowed a run but earned his 31st save in 34 opportunities. “It was my decision,” McClendon
said. “I’ll continue to do this. I’ll continue to protect my players. I’m trying to win meaningful games in September. I want Felix healthy and strong in September. “I’m like Frank Sinatra, we’re doing it my way.” Hernandez, who used to bluster and argue to remain in the game, said he has eased his resistance. “I appreciate that,” he said. “He said, ‘you’re done.’ I’m done.” During his 15-game streak Hernandez is just 8-2. His teammates had scored just 10 runs over his previous five starts when he went 1-1 with three no-decisions. But a fourth-inning error by Braves second baseman Tommy La Stella contributed directly the Mariners go-ahead runs. With the score tie 1-all, two outs and runners on second and third, Chris Taylor popped up behind the first-base bag. La Stella camped under it, leaned back and it caromed off his glove. “I was frustrated,” Taylor said. “I thought I was right on it. I just got
underneath it. I knew guys were on so I wanted to get a hit. Luckily, he dropped it and I was able to get on second in scoring position.” Both runners scored and Taylor advanced to second. He scored on Austin Jackson’s single to left. The Braves have lost seven straight. “It’s just a physical error and you can’t do anything about it,” Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. “And it did cost us those three runs that scored. Sometimes it’s just the way stuff’s going.” Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager added, “that’s what you’re supposed to do. When you get an opportunity you take advantage of it. We were to get two runs on that one. Then Jackson got a big hit. Four runs with Felix going, that’s a good combination. Alex Wood (7-9) worked six innings, allowing five hits, just one earned run, walked four and stuck out five. “I thought he (Wood) pitched terrific,” Gonzalez said. “Getting a couple runs against Felix and you just can’t recover.”
Reds get rare win in Cleveland THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND — Johnny Cueto threw his fourth complete game of the season, and the Cincinnati Reds, aided by a bizarre play in which a Cleveland runner was fooled by a second ball on the field, defeated the Indians 9-2 on Tuesday night. The Indians, trying to mount a comeback in the seventh, had a rally squelched after an errant warmup pitch from Cincinnati’s bullpen came on the field. Yan Gomes’ double cut the lead to 6-2 and moved David Murphy to third as a ball thrown by reliever Jumbo Diaz rolled behind second base. Murphy mistakenly thought that ball MLB was live edged Recap and off third. He was tagged out after the ball that was in play was thrown to Santiago. Cincinnati broke a 10game losing streak at Cleveland. Cueto (13-6), who hasn’t lost since July 2, allowed two runs in winning his fifth straight decision. Ramon Santiago hit a three-run homer in the second off Josh Tomlin (5-8) to break a 1-all tie for his first home run since Aug. 16 last season. Royals 12, Arizona 2: Billy Butler had a three-run homer among his four hits, Nori Aoki hit a grand slam, and Kansas City gave Danny Duffy rare run support by bashing Arizona. Kansas City battered Wade Miley (7-8) from the start, scoring 10 runs off him by the fifth inning. Salvador Perez had the first big blow with a three-run homer in the third, and Butler added another three-run shot during Kansas City’s eight-run fifth. Aoki capped the big inning with his first career grand slam. The Royals had previously struggled when Duffy had pitched, producing 2.34 runs of support, lowest in the majors among pitchers with at least 100 innings. The lefthander had allowed a run or less in 11 of 16 starts, yet was 4-5 in those.
major league debut, and the Chicago Cubs beat Colorado. Baez, a prized prospect called up before the game, struck out in three of his first five at-bats before hitting Boone Logan’s first pitch of the 12th into the Rockies bullpen.

Cincinnati’s Brayan Pena pleads with home plate umpire Greg Gibson after being called out at the plate in the ninth inning Tuesday. Twins 3, Padres 1: Kennys Vargas hit a threerun homer in his first home game for Minnesota, powering the Twins past Jesse Hahn and San Diego. Yonder Alonso hit his first home run in almost two months after spending much of the summer on the disabled list, but his drive to the upper deck in right field in the fifth inning was all the Padres put together against Phil Hughes (11-8). In the sixth, Vargas made his first major league homer a memorable one, a two-out drive that was the first off Hahn (7-3) since his debut on June 3. Dodgers 5, Angels 4: Juan Uribe scored on David Freese’s errant throw to the plate in the ninth inning, and the Los Angeles Dodgers evened the Freeway Series with a victory over the Los Angeles Angels. Uribe hit an early threerun homer for the NL-leading Dodgers. He then singled against Kevin Jepsen (0-1) and eventually scored from third on Andre Ethier’s grounder. Freese was charged with his second throwing error of the night when Chris Iannetta couldn’t apply the tag. Cardinals 3, Red Sox 2: Jon Jay hit an RBI single with two outs in the eighth inning to break a tie and lead St. Louis over Boston. Phillies 2, Astros 1, 15 innings: Ryan Howard singled in the winning run with two outs in the bottom of the 15th inning to lift Philadelphia over Houston. The interleague matchup between teams with two of
the four worst records in the majors lasted 5 hours, 5 minutes.
NATIONAL LEAGUE Mets 6, Nationals 1: Zack Wheeler allowed one run in 6 2-3 innings to win his fourth consecutive decision, and Daniel Murphy’s tworun single helped the New York Mets beat NL Eastleading Washington. Wheeler (7-8) gave up seven hits and allowed a run on a wild pitch. He is 4-0 with a 1.59 ERA in seven appearances since June 30. In the second and third, Washington accumulated three hits and four walks off Wheeler but scored only once. Brewers 4, Giants 3: Gerardo Parra snapped a tie with a home run in the seventh — his first hit since been acquired by the Brewers — and Milwaukee recorded the final out of its victory against San Francisco when video replay overturned a safe call at first base. With two outs in the ninth, Brewers closer Frankie Rodriguez walked Hunter Pence. Joe Panik then bounced to second baseman Rickie Weeks, who was shielded on the play by Pence before making the throw to first. Brewers managed Ron Roenicke challenged the safe call, and it was changed after a review of 3 minutes, 17 seconds. Marlins 6, Pirates 3: Adeiny Hechavarria had two hits and drove in a run during a decisive five-run rally in the eighth inning to help Miami beat Pittsburgh. Cubs 6, Rockies 5, 12 innings: Javier Baez homered in the 12th inning in his
Orioles 9, Blue Jays 3: Chris Davis homered and Caleb Joseph and Jonathan Schoop added back-to-back shots as Baltimore topped Toronto. Davis, Nelson Cruz and J.J. Hardy all had two RBIs, and the Orioles won their third straight game, each in a different city. Baltimore beat Seattle at home on Sunday and won at Washington on Monday in a makeup game. Tigers 4, Yankees 3, 12 innings: David Price struck out 10 in his Detroit debut and was long gone when Alex Avila homered in the 12th inning to lift the Tigers over the New York Yankees. Price pitched 8 2-3 innings and left with the score 3-all. He leads the majors in strikeouts (199) and innings (179 1-3). Rangers 16, White Sox 0: Robinson Chirinos hit two home runs, and Colby Lewis (8-8) pitched a six-hitter to lead Texas to a 16-0 rout of the Chicago White Sox, the largest shutout victory in Rangers’ history. J.P. Arencibia, Adrian Beltre and Shin-Soo Choo also went deep for the Rangers, who set a seasonhigh in runs and snapped a four-game losing streak. Athletics 3, Rays 0: Jason Hammel pitched scoreless ball into the sixth inning to snap a four-start losing streak since being traded to Oakland, leading the Athletics past Tampa Bay. Hammel (1-4) allowed seven hits and four walks in 5 2-3 innings. He entered the game with a 9.53 ERA since the A’s acquired him and Jeff Samardzija from the Chicago Cubs on July 4. Drew Smyly (6-10) gave up all three runs, seven hits and two walks, including one intentional, in 5 1-3 innings. The left-hander was traded from Detroit last week in the three-team deal that sent ace David Price to the Tigers.

Unlikely club pro tees it up at Valhalla LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Golf could do itself a favor this week by fussing less over Tiger Woods and more over Rob Corcoran. Corcoran is a 38-year-old club pro whose story is only too familiar to the 19 other members of his fraternity who earned a spot alongside the tour pros in this year’s PGA Championship field. Any one of them will be lucky to stick around until Sunday. Nearly all of them were sure they’d get here one day — just a lot sooner. Instead they wound up giving lessons, selling clubs and clothes in the pro shop and looking after everything required to run a golf club, from the food in the kitchen to the balls on the range. In the time left over, they work on their own games and play mini-tour events, in search of small victories or to gauge their slimmer-by-the-day prospects of moving up to the big time. Corcoran did — and still does — all of those things five months out of the year. Where his story veers off from the rest of the club-pro pack is where he does it: at the Poxabogue Golf Center,a nine-hole public course that sits alongside the Montauk Highway on Long Island, New York, and in the shadow of three of the best and most exclusive private clubs in America. If the folks who run golf are serious about growing the game, about making it fun and accessible for beginners, and keeping them involved, Poxabogue (Pox-a-bahg’) might just be ground zero. “We’ve got a driving range, six par-3s and three par 4s; one goes straight, one doglegs left, and the other is a dogleg right. A lot of the lessons I give,” Corcoran said, smiling, “usually include me having to explain what a dogleg is.” That’s not the case at nearby Shinnecock Hills, the National Golf Links or Maidstone, though at least a few of Corcoran’s students — rocker Jon Bon Jovi and his son, Jake, as well as Fox news anchor Bill Hemmer — bring some

Rob Corcoran hits out of the bunker during a practice round for the PGA Championship on Tuesday. star power to the links. On the other hand, Poxabogue costs $28 for the first nine holes and $11 for a replay. It measures about 1,600 yards and even though there are no motorized carts, golfers regularly get around in less than 90 minutes. Don’t even ask about the dress code. “People call because they’re coming from the beach,” Corcoran said. “I tell them, ‘As long as you’re wearing clothes, it’s OK. Tank tops, swimsuits, flip-flops ... but the only item you really need is a hard hat. You hear ‘Fore!’ there a lot.” Corcoran warmed up on the practice range next to Adam Scott and almost pinched himself. He played a practice round Tuesday with Jim Furyk, in large part because his caddy and close pal, Rob Sullivan, played at UCLA and crossed paths with Furyk when he was at Arizona. “You know the joke, ‘If you want to play golf for a living, don’t be a golf pro?’” Furyk laughed. “Well, it’s true partly because these guys have to wear so many different hats. Some guys have the talent, some guys get tired
of the gypsy lifestyle — the reasons they don’t make it out here runs the gamut.” Corcoran isn’t sure which category he falls into, only that roughly 10 years ago — after trying his luck in South America, Canada and “just about every mini-tour in America” — he realized his best chance to stay in the game was as a teacher. Now in his fourth season at Poxabogue, he spends the winters in Florida giving the occasional lesson and working on his own game, still trying to catch lightning in a bottle. Earlier this year, he had reason to believe he was close. When Poxabogue golf director Steven Lee asked Corcoran for a list of tournaments he’d be playing to map out a schedule, it included “August 4-10, PGA Championship at Valhalla.” “I’m not sure my boss thought it was possible,” he recalled. “I said, ‘This IS my schedule.”’ A tie for 12th in National Club Pro Championship at Myrtle Beach officially guaranteed his spot in the PGA field. But to get to the finals of that event, Corcoran had to follow up an opening-round 73 with a 61 in sectional qualifying to advance.
Rodriguez denied taking steroids while playing for the Yankees, though his cousin was banned from the team’s clubhouse, charter flights and other activities after Rodriguez said Sucart obtained the steroids he used while playing for the Rangers. Bosch was charged with conspiracy to distribute testosterone, as was Sucart, Carlos Javier Acevedo, Jorge Augustine Velazquez, Christopher Benjamin Engroba, Juan Carlos Nunez and Lazaro Daniel Collazo — a well-known youth and college baseball coach who has worked at schools including Miami, Louisville, Florida State and South Florida. Acevedo pleaded not guilty and his bond was set at $100,000. Engroba pleaded not guilty and his bond was $50,000. No other pleas were entered Tuesday. Court documents say that from October 2008 through December 2012, Bosch willfully conspired to distribute the anabolic steroid testosterone. Prosecutors also announced the arrest of three others in a drug ring discovered during the course of the investigation into Biogenesis. However, that case, which centered around the stimulant known as “molly,” was not directly connected to Bosch. A Miami New Times report from January 2013, which sparked MLB’s investigation, said Rodriguez had bought human growth hormone and other substances from 2009 to 2012 from Bosch’s clinic. The newspaper said it had obtained records detailing the purchases by Rodriguez and other ballplayers. MLB had sued Bosch and his clinic but withdrew the lawsuit in February. The lawsuit had accused them of conspiring with players to violate their contracts by providing them with banned substances.

Stern gets early entrance to Hall
Hammon joins Spurs staff as assistant coach BY DOUG FEINBERG The Associated Press
Becky Hammon has been defying the odds her entire basketball life. Now, the ultimate underdog is preparing for her biggest challenge yet. Hammon accepted a coaching position with the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday, making her the first full-time paid female NBA assistant coach. She will begin her new job when her current one, playing in the WNBA for the San Antonio Stars, is over at the end of the season. “I’m the person that always is kind of like left off the roster. I’m the one that’s always kind of picked last,” Hammon said. “So this whole thing to me is a little bit crazy and mind-boggling that an opportunity like this has come down the pipe.” The 5-foot-6 guard has always seemed to be going against the grain. Coming out of high school, a lot of college coaches told her she couldn’t play at the next level. She proved them wrong, having a stellar AllAmerican career at Colorado State. She wasn’t drafted by any WNBA team, but went on to be honored as one of the league’s 15 greatest players of all-time. She also became the highest profile American women’s basketball player to compete for another country in the Olympics when she helped guide Russia to a bronze medal in the 2008 Beijing Games. “I do feel like those situations built character and built a persistence about me, made me work harder and study harder,” Hammon said. “All those little things that you go through year after year, it builds something in you. Now, taking on this next challenge, I know the same thing that got me through
those things are the fibers of what I’m made up of. “Nothing in my life has really ever been easy. I’ve always been someone who did it uphill. I’m up for challenges. I’m up for being outside the box, making tough decisions and challenges. ... And I’m a little bit of an adrenaline junkie. Throw those all in there and this was the perfect challenge and opportunity.” The 16-year WNBA veteran will work with Spurs coach Gregg Popovich on scouting, game-planning and the day-to-day grind of practice like no woman has done before. “It will definitely open some doors,” Chicago Sky coach Pokey Chatman said. “People who know Becky will understand that she put herself in position to create this opportunity. Everybody knows that Pop is not about doing something for publicity because he doesn’t need it. “It is about his values and that who she is. It is a perfect marriage, I hate to use that in that sense, but it is 2014 with social media and everybody having eyes on it, I think it is really going to be something special for us.” Hammon, humble about her new job, quickly deflected the success women have had in other areas. “As cool as it is, this is just the fact that this is basketball,” she said. “There are women that have trail-blazed much bigger paths. And really, trail-blazed the path for things like this to happen. There are a lot more important things going on in the bigger (picture).” Hammon also was quick to note that she got the job on her basketball ability and not because of her gender. “Obviously, that’s great and it’s a tremendous honor, but I think the bigger point is
The Associated Press
WNBA star Becky Hammon takes questions from the media at the San Antonio Spurs practice facility after being introduced as an assistant coach with the team Tuesday. I’m getting hired because I’m capable, because of my basketball IQ, and stuff that they’ve seen in me personally,” she said. San Antonio is the perfect fit for Hammon. Last season, she attended Spurs practices, film sessions and sat behind the bench at home games after suffering a torn ACL that kept her from playing. She’s been friends with Tony Parker and Tim Duncan since competing in an NBA AllStar shooting competition in 2008, a familiarity that will help as she makes her transition to coaching the two stars. “It’s good she’s also going to a situation where people recognize it’s not a publicity stunt,” Washington Mystics coach M ike Thibault said. “Popovich is comfortable in his own skin. They’re the world champions. They’re kind of a low-key organization. Doing something like this is something they feel is a good thing to do.” Hammon isn’t the first woman to work with NBA players. During the 2001-02 season, Cleveland Cavaliers coach John Lucas brought
Lisa Boyer into the team’s practices and some games. Boyer, now an assistant at South Carolina, wasn’t paid by the Cavaliers and didn’t travel with the team. Nancy Lieberman and Charlotte Bobcats sideline reporter Stephanie Ready have both coached teams in the NBA Development League. Lieberman now serves as the GM of the Texas Legends. Phoenix Mercury vice president Ann Meyers Drysdale knows there will be more scrutiny for Hammon then she had when she tried out for the Indiana Pacers in 1979. “You guys didn’t come out like you are today. You have tweets, Internet, Facebook, all that stuff. ESPN was in its first year when I tried out with the Pacers,” Meyers said. “Becky knows how to handle herself. People are going to say things. Media is going to rip her. There are going to be coaches out there saying they are just as qualified. Well, you know what, other people are just as qualified. It’s being in the right place at the right time. They know what she is capable of doing.”
NEW YORK (AP) — David Stern remembers the days when an NBA staff that numbered about two dozen was just trying to keep some teams in existence long enough to get them on national TV. Now the former commissioner looks at a league whose 1980 championship series was not broadcast live but now has games televised around the world, whose players average more than $5 million a year in salary as the highest-paid team athletes in sports, and sometimes can’t believe he and his colleagues pulled it off. “You can’t even do justice to everything that everybody has done,” Stern said in a phone interview. “All you can do is focus on small chunks of it, but it’s great fun to contemplate how the NBA family has pulled together to be at a place where our players are now at the top of the celebrity period. “Pretty, pretty amazing and great.” It helped to have marketable stars like Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and Michael Jordan. But now comes an honor for the person most responsible for it. Stern will be enshrined Friday in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, part of a 2014 class that includes former players Alonzo Mourning and Mitch Richmond, along with NCAA c h a m p i o n s h i p -w i n n i n g coaches Nolan Richardson and Gary Williams. Stern ended his run as commissioner after exactly 30 years on Feb. 1 — he won’t say retired, because he’s still working — and once thought he would wait five years for induction, same as players. Officials from the NBA and Hall of Fame persuaded him otherwise, and nobody is arguing that he belongs immediately. “It would be hard to overstate the impact I think David has had on the game of basketball. Admitting that I’m
prejudiced toward basketball, David Stern could go down in our era as the greatest commissioner of all-time in all sports,” said former NBA coach and ESPN analyst P.J. Carlesimo. For Stern, it will be the first official basketball function he’s attended since leaving the commissioner’s office in the hands of Adam Silver. He’s remained busy advising some communications companies and technology startups, giving speeches and traveling on behalf of the league, and is anxious to catch up with the growing list of supporters he has learned will be in Springfield, Massachusetts. “It’s very nice and very enjoyable,” Stern said, “and the Hall of Fame is always a kind of reunion in any event. And so this will be just one more, which is great.” Inducted in the contributor category, Stern is mostly being recognized for his accomplishments as commissioner. But things like free agency and the merger with the ABA came much earlier, when he was working with the league as a lawyer, before he joined the NBA as its general counsel in 1978. Some of those advances are the ones that occasionally come to mind when he’s talking with old co-workers. “It was a great run,” he said. “We had a lot of fun together and the success was as a result of the efforts of an extraordinary number of people.” Stern talks often with Silver and is impressed with the way his successor has handled a number of challenges in his first six months, most notably the Donald Sterling controversy. Yet it would be hard for Silver — or anyone else — to ever match the career of Stern, who oversaw the addition of seven teams, the creation of the and NBA WNBA Development League, and the growth of revenues to about $5 billion annually.

PUBLISHED: The World - July 28, and August 06, 2014 (ID-20256800) TRUSTEE’S NOTICE OF SALE TRUST DEED AND PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: The National Credit Union Administration Board, acting in its capacity as Liquidating Agent for Chetco Federal Credit Union, is the holder of that certain indebtedness executed by INDIAN POINT, INC., an Oregon corporation, as Grantor, and FIDELITY NATIONAL TITLE COMPANY, as the original Trustee, and CHETCO FEDERAL CREDIT UNION, as Beneficiary, under that certain line of credit instrument/line of credit deed of trust dated August 25, 2006 and recorded on September 5, 2006 in the real property records of Coos County, Oregon as Instrument No. 2006-12091 (the “Trust Deed”).

BRIDGE Nancy Mitford, an English novelist, said, “I have only read one book in my life and that is ‘White Fang.’ It’s so frightfully good that I’ve never bothered to read another.” That is hard to believe — she must have read her own books! One of the arts of good bridge is reading the cards — working out who has what from those played. That is important for West in this deal. How should he plan the defense against three no-trump? West leads the heart four: three, jack, queen. South plays a club to dummy’s king, then runs the
diamond jack. After winning with his queen, how should West continue? South starts with only five top tricks: two hearts (given trick one) and three clubs. Obviously he will play on diamonds for more winners, with spades on the back burner if necessary. Several years ago, during an interview, I was asked what is the one thing I teach my students that they never seem to get straight and I cannot understand why. This is what I answered. When playing third hand high on defense, you play the bottom of equally powerful cards. In this deal, when East plays the heart jack at trick one, he denies holding the 10. So West, reading the cards, knows that South started with the heart ace, queen and 10. This means that leading another heart cannot be right. West needs to get East on play for a heart lead through South. Enter the second key rule: If you lead low from length, you guarantee at least one honor in that suit. Here, West should shift to the spade eight, high denying an honor. Then East should win with his ace and return the heart seven, resulting in South’s going down two.
