Judge rules Campbell be confined until age of 21

BY RANDAL SEYLER RECORD STAFF WRITER

There were gasps of shock from family members as District Court Judge Freddie Romero announced his decision Wednesday afternoon that 13-year-old Mason Campbell will be confined until he reaches the age of 21.

The decision followed an emotional day of testimony before a packed courtroom, with statements coming from the family members of

both victims, as well as the young victims themselves.

Many audience members wept during the testimony of both the parents and the wounded children, as well as during the testimony on Mason’s behalf.

Kendal Sanders, 13, and Nathaniel Tavarez, 12, told the court what they experienced the day Mason fired a sawed-off 20-gauge shotgun into a crowded middle school gymnasium.

Campbell, armed with a shotgun, opened fire at Roswell’s Berrendo Middle

School on Jan. 14, seriously wounding Sanders and Tavarez, along with a school security guard, before surrendering himself to authorities.

“The court has to decide which option best addresses the rehabilitation of Mason, ensures the public safety and ensures that Mason is held accountable for his actions on Jan. 14, 2014,” Romero said.

The court had the options of putting Campbell on probation, or confining him in a CYFD facility for either a

one-year, short-term confinement; a long-term, twoyear confinement with evaluations and possible extensions of the confinement; or confinement until Campbell reaches the age of 21.

Special Prosecutor Matt Chandler asked on behalf of the state that Mason receive the maximum sentence, or disposition.

Chandler also read from a diary written by Campbell, in which the 12-yearold planned to kill an unidentified bully, first with a 9mm handgun, then later

After failing to kill the unidentified bully, Mason wrote in his diary, the day before the shooting, that he would go into the gym and shoot birdshot at people.

“Tomorrow will be fun,” Mason wrote.

Romero issued a disposition memorandum prior to the hearing explaining the difference in children’s court and delinquency law and adult sentencing.

“It is virtually impossible to reconcile the act of Jan. 14, 2014, and the severity

and harm inflicted on the families involved with the fact that it was perpetrated by a 12-year -old boy,” Romero said.

Hitchcock said Pioneer Bank is working to detect any suspicious activity for all of its customers.

“Our system will detect unusual patterns or activity and contact you on your cell phone to say ‘is this a valid transaction or not?’ and if it’s not, we know the card has been compromised,” he said.

Hitchcock wants to make sure everyone’s bank accounts stay safe.

“The message is for everyone to review their transactions for activity that they may not have and to authorized promptly contact their financial institution regardless of who it is,” he said.

Deadline for animal Friedman to miss UFO Festival due to health fair entries is July 7

BY DYLANNE PETROS RECORD STAFF WRITER

The deadline to enter animals into shows for the 2014 Chaves County 4-H and FFA Fair is July 7.

“The entries are … just to get a number count (of animals),” said Shannon Wooton, the extension home economist for Chaves County.

The fee to enter animals starts at $3 but does not go higher than $7, she said.

The entries are due fairly early since the fair does not start until July 28. The reason for this is simple, Wooton said.

“There is paper prep,” she said. “(It) takes a little time to organize.”

The paper preparation includes dividing the animals into classes to prepare for the showings,

Wooton said.

Even though the fair does not start until July 28, there will be a horse show on July 19. The show is held early because the arena that it is held in “is booked on the next date,” she said.

Inside exhibits are judged on July 25 at 12:30 p.m. and winners will be awarded their ribbons before the fair starts.

Entries are due by 5 p.m. on July 7 and they are due to the Chaves County Extension Office.

“During the week (of the fair) will be all the shows,” Wooton said. “Everything is free.”

World-renowned UFO expert Stanton Friedman will not be able to appear at this year’s UFO Festival as planned due to health issues.

Friedman’s absence was announced Monday on the festival website, ufofestivalroswell.com.

“We have several other researchers who will fill in for him, including Don Schmitt, and Tom Carey,” said Mark Briscoe, executive director of the International UFO Museum and Research Center. “Someone with credentials will be filling in for him.”

Briscoe said Friedman had suffered a massive heart attack but he is now in stable condition.

Friedman, a nuclear physicist who spearheaded the civilian investigation of

the Roswell incident in the 1970s, is certainly no stranger to this area. He’s been inducted into the UFO Museum Hall of Fame, and has made personal appearances in Roswell on many occasions.

Friedman, as one of the world’s premier UFO researchers, has been in a host of documentaries, TV shows, radio broadcasts

and print articles, including appearances on “Ancient Mysteries,” “Strange But True,” “UFO Files,” “Larry King Live” and “Six Days in Roswell.”

He has delivered over 700 talks in the U.S. and abroad, and is the author of numerous books and articles, including “Sixty Years After Roswell,” an examination of why, after all these years, people just can’t seem to stop talking about Roswell.

His website, stantonfriedman.com, offers a variety of articles, books and videos. He is a resident of Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada.

“I spoke with him this morning and am very pleased to report that he is feeling strong and chipper,” UFO researcher Kathleen Marden, a friend and co-author of Friedman’s, wrote in a statement released on Monday.

“His heart enzymes have declined, so he has turned the corner.”

Marden is also scheduled to appear at this weekend’s UFO Festival.

Well-wishers may send cards to Friedman at P.O. Box 958, Houlton, ME 04730.

“He appreciates everyone’s thoughts and prayers,” Marden said.

Murray: Education has to change if US is to compete

BY RANDAL SEYLER RECORD STAFF WRITER

Gen. Douglas Murray, dean of academics for New Mexico Military Institute, discusses the state of education with the Roswell Kiwanis Club on Tuesday.

BY RANDAL SEYLER RECORD STAFF WRITER

The focus of education in the U.S. will need to embrace completion over calendar-centric education if the country wants to stay competitive in the world marketplace in the 21st century, said Gen. Douglas Murray, dean of academics and chief academic officer for New Mexico Military Institute.

“Some define education as the civil rights issue of the 21st century,” Murray

said on Tuesday while visiting the Roswell Kiwanis Club. “If you are not satisfied with the level of education in the U.S. today, you’re in pretty good company.”

Murray said everyone from the president to Gov. Susana Martinez have realized that education in the nation is lagging behind the rest of the world, but it is not that education is going backwards.

The disparity between those who have education and those who do not, and the economic barriers which keep people from getting college educations, or even completing high school, are the main reasons education is seen as a civil rights issue, Murray said.

Murray said the Founding Fathers’ ideal education was a liberal education, with students well grounded in all the basics — science and math as well as literature and arts.

“A solid liberal education does away with the STEM versus liberal arts argument, because your student is well-educated in both,” Murray said. “And if you ask employers, they will tell you they want their employees to have both CLASSIFIEDS ..........B6 COMICS .................B5 ENTERTAINMENT .....A8 FINANCIAL ..............B4

32 states trail US as a whole in job recovery

WASHINGTON (AP) — Five years after the Great Recession officially ended, most states still haven’t regained all the jobs they lost, even though the nation as a whole has.

In May, the overall economy finally recovered all 9 million jobs that vanished in the worst downtur n since the 1930s. Another month of solid hiring is expected in the U.S. jobs report for June that will be released Thursday.

Yet 32 states still have fewer jobs than when the recession began in December 2007 — evidence of the unevenness and persistently slow pace of the recovery.

Even though economists declared the recession over in June 2009, Illinois is still down 184,000 jobs from pre-recession levels.

New Jersey is down 147,000. Both states were hurt by layoffs at factories.

Florida is down 170,000 in the aftermath of its real estate market collapse.

The sluggish job market could weigh on voters in some key states when they go to the polls this fall. A Quinnipiac University poll out Wednesday found that voters named the economy by far the biggest problem facing the United States.

The states where hiring lags the most tend to be those that were hit most painfully by the recession: They lost so many jobs that they’ve struggled to replace them all.

Nevada, which suffered a spectacular real estate bust and four years of double-digit unemployment — has fared worst. It has 6 percent fewer jobs than it did in December 2007. Arizona, also slammed by the housing collapse, is 5 percent short.

By contrast, an energy boom has lifted several states to the top of job creation rankings.

“North Dakota is the No. 1 example,” says Dan White, senior economist at Moody’s Analytics. “It’s like its own little gold rush.”

North Dakota has added 100,000 jobs since December 2007 — a stunning 28 percent increase, by far the nation’s highest. The state has benefited from technology that allows energy companies to extract oil from shale, sedimentary rock formed by the compression of clay and silt.

Not surprisingly, the capital of North Dakota, Bismarck, has the lowest unemployment rate of any American city: 2.2 percent as of May.

Mark and Valerie Luna and their eight children had been struggling in Arizona when they heard on television about North Dakota’s prosperity and decided to move there in 2010.

“It was becoming like the Great Depression in Arizona,” Valerie Luna said.

“We were tired of seeing our friends lose their houses and their businesses.”

Mark, 40, a laid-off electrician, and Valerie, 37, a corrections officer, immediately found work in North Dakota. He took a job as an electrician, she at an insurance company.

But Mark always had a dream of opening a Mexican restaurant, and Bismarck was ripe for one.

Los Lunas Authentic Mexican Food opened last year.

On Wednesday, Mark Luna was busy in the kitchen and had no time for talking. Orders for his homemade tamales, chimichangas, enchiladas were stacking up.

“Business,” he said, “is good. Real good.”

Another state benefiting from the energy boom is Texas, which has added more than 1 million jobs since December 2007, an increase of nearly 10 percent. For comparison, the

Altrusa Club seeks to rename park

BY RANDAL SEYLER RECORD STAFF WRITER

The Roswell Altrusa Club recently requested the city Parks and Recreation Commission consider changing the name of the Missouri Avenue Park to Altrusa Park.

Deborah Goluska, Altrusa member and former club president, asked the commissioners to consider renaming the new park after the club, which donated $6,000 to purchase furnishings and equipment for the city park, which opened to the public earlier this year.

The original Missouri Avenue Park was given to the school district as a location for a new Missouri Avenue Elementary School, and the park was moved across the street to its present location.

“Altrusa became involved as we were sitting around discussing ways to save the old gazebo in the original park,” Goluska said.

Unfortunately, the old gazebo was too far gone to save, but the club worked to provide the money for the park. The

Altrusa Club is also working on providing trees and flowers for the park.

“We are involved in our community behind the scenes, and our focus is on children and literacy,” Goluska said. “I would love to see children laying on the grass reading books one day.”

The commissioners voted to recommend the name change to the Parks and Recreation Committee, with only Commissioner James Edwards voting against the change.

“The Sertoma Club has a park named after them because they own that park and they maintain it,” Edwards said.

Parks Director T im Williams also informed the commissioners that the upper floors of the Yucca Recreation Center have been closed indefinitely due to access problems.

“We are not compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act; our elevators do not have a fire safety system that is required by law,” Williams said. He estimated the cost of correcting the

“We also have a lot of water damage from the roof, it doesn’t keep the rain out,” Williams said.

Williams said the various groups that meet in the upper levels of the center are working together to find space to continue offering their various classes.

“We don’t want to lose those programs, and we are doing what we can to accommodate everyone,” he said.

Commissioner James Edwards pointed out that the city had received a grant from the state to fix the Yucca Recreation Center’s roof of $500,000.

Williams said the city still has that money, but the decision will have to be made whether or not the building is worth investing in.

“We’ll have to decide if we want to invest that $560,000 in a building that is that old or try and roll that over into something else, perhaps a new facility.”

Radiation leak leads to layoffs at Los Alamos

LOS ALAMOS (AP) — The Los Alamos contractor that packaged the radioactive waste linked to a leak at the government’s nuclear waste dump is laying off workers.

A Los Alamos spokesman Wednesday confir med that Energy Solutions has reduced its workforce by 115 because its contract for packing the waste for shipment to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in Carlsbad expired June 30. That is the date the lab was supposed to have thousands of barrels of contaminated waste of f its northern New Mexico campus. But the final shipments were halted after the February leak that shuttered WIPP was traced to a barrel packed by Energy Solutions.

Scientists think a reaction in the waste was fueled by the inorganic cat litter that was packed in the barrel to absorb moisture. Investigators are looking at the process followed by Los Alamos and the contractor in switching from inorganic to organic litter.

Drug convictions overturned thanks to Death Saint

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Two Oklahoma residents have had their federal firearms and drug trafficking convictions in New Mexico overturned thanks to a skeleton saint known as La Santa Muerte.

The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Wednesday a Santa Muerte expert tainted the convictions of 53-year -old Rafael Goxcon-Chagal and 38-year -old Maria Vianey Medina-Copete. Both were convicted in August 2012 for trafficking methamphetamine.

Authorities say a Santa Muerte prayer card was found with the couple during a traffic stop that led to their 2011 arrests.

Prosecutors used the expert during their trial to discuss the use of Saint Death among drug traffickers.

Popular in Mexico, and sometimes linked to the illicit drug trade, Santa Muerte is folk saint also worshipped by some immigrant small business owners, gay activists and the poor.

The appeals court ordered a new trial for the couple.

In European nations, the status given to educators also attracts the best and the brightest to teach.

Murray said NMMI is taking steps within its walls to make a difference in education, and he said the military school model addresses some of the shortcomings he sees in American education.

“The military model emphasizes and integrates teaching and learning across varied academic disciplines,” Murray said.

Among other things, the military model also reduces the gap between secondary and post-secondary education, provides learning opportunities and services before and after school and during the summer, and provides enrichment activities for stu-

dents.

The national model of education is based on a 19th century industrial model, and it is a model that no longer works.

“We have 50-minute class periods, and when you are a certain age, you should be in a certain grade,” Murray said. The school year is based on a nine-month calendar, while in many other nations students attend school throughout the year.

Education should be based on learning, not based on the clock, he said. “If you get the lesson in 30 minutes, then you have to sit there and be quiet for 20 minutes. If you don’t get the information in 50 minutes, well then, sorry, but you have to go on to the next class.”

The idea that time is the primary metric for achieving education follows the student through from pre-Kindergarten to graduate school. In college, education is measured in “credit hours,” although that is a concept that is slowly falling by the wayside, Murray said.

“We have to begin emphasizing achievement instead of time. The required definition of education should be based on what the student knows and can demonstrate,” Murray said. “It shouldn’t be based on the student’s manufacture date.”

town hall.

The Artesia town hall meeting was just the latest display of anger by some who are against the federal government plan to house immigrants amid a recent surge.

In Califor nia, U.S. Homeland Security buses carrying migrant children and families were rerouted Tuesday to a facility in San Diego after American flag-waving protesters blocked the group from reaching a processing center.

The standoff in Murrieta came after Mayor Alan Long urged residents to complain to elected officials about the plan to transfer the Central American migrants to California to ease overcrowding of facilities along the Texas-Mexico border.

Last month, the Obama administration announced plans to convert the training center into one of several temporary sites being

established to deal with the influx of women and children from Central America. Some have said they are fleeing gang violence and poverty in their home countries.

The three barracks at the Artesia site will hold people as they await deportation or seek asylum.

Officials said a number of the immigrants have relatives in the northeast, and if granted asylum, would likely move there.

Meanwhile, Las Cruces Catholic Diocese Bishop Cantu announced Tuesday a new humanitarian program, “Project Oak Tree,” to provide temporary shelter and assistance for immigrant women and children.

Cantu said the program is based on the story from Genesis in which Abraham provided three travelers with food and help.

Is there any logic to state’s capital spending?

Capital spending is supposed to be for stuff that lasts a while.

We have a special affection for senior centers and borrow money against property tax receipts to pay for senior things. The technical terminology here is issuing and selling general obligation bonds subject to voter approval.

Issuing the bonds will cost about $2 million.

The three smallest dollar amounts approved for seniors by this year’s Legislature are $500 for “other equipment” at the Ena Mitchell Senior and Wellness Center in Lordsburg, $570 for meals equipment for the Vaughn Senior Center, and $840 for “other equipment” at the Mora Senior Center.

While government is not meant to be efficient, some inefficiency appears with these tiny items.

The cost of the time required to complete the necessary paperwork is maybe higher than the

NEW MEXICO PROGRESS

cost of the item. Given the time required to get the items onto the bond issue, waiting months until the election and issuing the bonds, just how essential are these? Not very, is my guess.

The senior bits and pieces total $10.8 million for 124 projects, plus another $5.7 million for vehicles for 50 centers. Did all their cars and vans wear out at once?

If the list of projects requested by legislators provides any clue, many more bits and pieces are tucked into the $47.5 million for House local projects and the

Roswell Daily Record

$46.9 million for Senate local projects.

The numbers today come from several appendices in the Legislative Finance Committee’s “2014 Post-Session Review.” Money for these projects will come from general obligation bonds, severance tax bonds and what the LFC calls “other state funds.”

But on to bigger things: the $20.5 million to redo the Farris Engineering building at the University of New Mexico, the $19.2 million for Jett Hall and Rentfrow Hall at New Mexico State and the $15 million chemistry building at New Mexico Tech. Total approved higher education capital spending is $130 million allocated to seven four-year institutions, 10 branch colleges and seven independent institutions, plus another $9.8 million divvied among New Mexico Military Institute and four tribal schools.

Money from the Public School

Capital Outlay Fund will pay for projects valued at $8.3 million at the School for the Blind and Visually Impaired and $7 million of work on Cartwright Hall at the School for the Deaf. Under the Public Education Department, new school buses will cost $7.4 million while information technology supporting computer-based assessments will get $5 million.

Nearly everything in a group called “governor’s initiatives” has to do with water. The money is pulled from various fund categories. The big item is $36.3 million for “water projects statewide” under the Environment Department. Dam work under the State Engineer’s Office will get $12 million, with $5 million under the Interstate Stream Commission, including acequia improvements and habitat restoration.

The ever-present silvery minnow steps in for $1.35 million. A refugium production facility,

which means a breeding place, gets $900,000. Listed separately is $6.2 million for watershed restoration, including forest thinning, by the Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department.

The Secretary of State will spend $6 million for voting tabulator systems, which scan, count and secure our ballots.

Among things not happening thanks to vetoes are signs in Albuquerque’s Nob Hill Corridor ($230,000), at S.Y. Jackson Elementary School ($33,000) and the Atrisco Land Grant ($1,600). Nor will $25,000 be spent for mariachi instruments for the West Las Vegas Public Schools, — a disaster, no doubt.

Making the cut was $250,000 for the Department of Game and Fish to build new shooting ranges and $6.4 million for the southern access road to the Spaceport.

Priorities, after all.

EDITORIAL

Ridesharing rule makers should take a hike

The Internet Age has sparked a remarkable wave of innovation and entrepreneurship. It has transformed the way we communicate ideas, tackle problems and offer new solutions. Oftentimes, the problems consist of overcoming obstacles put in place by governments. Such is the case with ridesharing services such as Uber, Lyft and SideCar. Some in government, of course, don’t like it when people find ways to sidestep their edicts. The special interests who benefit from those governmental directives don’t like it, either. All of which explains why governments and the taxi industry are trying to crack down on ridesharing services.

The Virginia DMV, for example, decided to ban the services altogether, and recently sent cease-and-desist letters to Uber and Lyft. Ridesharing services have, additionally, raised the ire of taxi drivers in the U.S. and Europe, in such cities as Los Angeles, Chicago, Las Vegas, London, Paris, Berlin, Madrid and Milan. Las Vegas, Miami and Brussels have banned the services. The cabbies realize that the added information, convenience, cost savings and, oftentimes, safety that the technology provides to consumers is making their services obsolete.

They rightly note that ridesharing services do not have to comply with some of the expensive regulations they do. But sympathy for traditional taxis must be tempered by the fact that this restrictive red tape was vigorously lobbied for by the taxi industry itself in order to keep out competition.

Instead of calling for the same anti-competitive laws to be placed on ridesharing companies and drivers, they should advocate repealing all the unnecessary burdens they have placed on themselves.

But there have been some relative success stories, too. Colorado became the first state to explicitly authorize the ridesharing services in legislation, albeit with some regulations attached. After initial clashes between ridesharing companies and the California Public Utilities Commission, California in September became the first state to regulate the services. The Golden State cannot resist its natural urge to foist more rules and regulations on businesses, however. Under Assembly Bill 2293, the state would increase its insurance requirements for ridesharing drivers for periods between fares.

Consumers and investors, on the other hand, love ridesharing services. This is evidenced by both the companies’ growing popularity with customers and by Wall Street’s judgment of the industry’s value.

After Uber’s latest round of funding, the company is now valued at $18.2 billion.

As is often the case, those in government are harming consumers while claiming to protect them. Ridesharing companies already offer extensive safety protections such as criminal and driving record background checks, insurance requirements, vehicle inspections, customer rating systems and other measures — not because government requires them, but because they know customers value such protections and they must offer them to be profitable. State and local governments should embrace innovative ideas and services such as ridesharing that provide jobs and benefit consumers, rather than stifling them through endless regulations.

The joys of our American history

History, folks. Where would this great country, where would we be today without our history?

Tomorrow we citizens of America will celebrate our 238th year of independence.

The history of how America has gotten to those 238 years is to say the least, phenomenal. History is what has made America the exceptional country (contrary to what Vladimir Putin says) it is today. I feel America’s history is in jeopardy, particularly so with the secular liberal agenda our current leadership is extolling along with an already well entrenched education system being forced upon our children. You may know such by its other name, also known as the dumbing down of America.

“The aim of public education is not to fill the young of the species with knowledge and awaken their intelli-

gence...Nothing could be farther from the truth. The aim is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality. That is the aim in the United States” — Henry Mencken, The American Mercury, April 1924.

Ouch, H.L.! Per teaching American and World history, could Mr. Mencken have been on to something?

A recent survey by none other than Common Core (no,

I am not a proponent) revealed an embarrassing ignorance among high school students of basic U.S. and world history.

Out of 1,200 17-year -old respondents to a national telephone survey, nearly a quarter could not identify Adolf Hitler, less than half could place the Civil War in the correct half-century and a third did not know that the Bill of Rights guarantees the freedom of speech and religion! Equally frightening is the fact the liberal agenda knows this; hence, the dumbing down and ringing true of H.L. Mencken’s quote.

Who are you? Man, woman?

Student? Professional person?

Texan? Republican or Democrat? No matter what is asked about who we are, at some point we all define ourselves as American and being part of a nationality is to identify with a shared history.

The American dream gives us hope for our future, but our future is in jeopardy. If you haven’t by this time figured such out, better grab a newspaper, turn on your TV, and read/listen to the assault that is occurring today on America and Americans.

Parents, grandparents must take up the task where education is failing our children. If we rely solely on today’s educators to teach history, we as Americans are going to lose the multitude of perspectives on the great events that shaped our nation, our generational footprint. But the unique stories of our parents and grandparents can give us the perspective of our shared humanity, our losses and struggles that have united us, along with the demand to bring teaching of American

Regular exercise prompts your cells to remove sugar from the blood, lowering blood sugar levels.

Find a heart-healthy eating plan and stick with it. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, fish and whole grains. Limit or avoid trans fats and saturated fats, refined grains and sugary drinks.

If you have high cholesterol in addition to diabetes, the two together greatly increase your risk of heart disease.

Therefore, it is important to lower your cholesterol as well as your blood sugar. The most potent cholesterol-lowering medicines are statin drugs.

These drugs not only lower your blood levels of total cho-

lesterol and LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, they also decrease inflammation inside plaques of atherosclerosis. This lowers your risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Finally, if you have high blood pressure in addition to diabetes, these two together greatly increase your risk of heart disease. Therefore, it is even more important to control your blood pressure, which may require blood pressure-lowering medication.

While medicines may be necessary to lower your blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure, lifestyle changes are at least as powerful as medicines in achieving these benefits. And even if medicines are necessary, lifestyle changes can help reduce the doses of medicines that you need.

So work with your doctor to find a combination of diet, exercise and medication to

People with diabetes can lower risk of heart disease DEAR DOCTOR K: When I was diagnosed with diabetes, my doctor said I am now also at increased risk for heart disease. What’s the connection?

DEAR READER: The link between diabetes and cardiovascular disease is stronger than many people realize: About two-thirds of people with diabetes die of heart disease or stroke. I spoke to my colleague Dr. Benjamin Scirica, a cardiologist at Harvardaf filiated Brigham and Women’s Hospital, about the link between the two conditions. He explained that diabetes harms the heart in several ways.

As you know, diabetes leads to high levels of blood sugar (glucose). It also triggers an immune response that causes chronic inflammation. Both injure artery walls. This makes arteries more likely to develop atherosclerosis, the buildup of fatty plaques in blood vessel walls that hin-

Elevated blood sugar also stiffens artery walls so they don’t expand as well, thereby increasing the risk of blood clots. Diabetes can also cause scar tissue to for m in the heart muscle.

The good news is that — as is true in people without diabetes — controlling cardiac risk factors decreases the risk of heart attack and stroke.

What does that mean for you?

Vet cemetery opening, Elks’ 4th cookout and a vet horror story Roswell Daily Record

The General Douglas L. McBride Roswell Veterans Cemetery will have its official opening and memorial dedication at 10 a.m. Friday at the gate of our new cemetery (north side of South Park Cemetery). Secretary of the New Mexico Department of Veterans Services Col. Tim Hale will be the keynote speaker, representing Gov. Susana Martinez and the State of New Mexico.

The Roswell Veterans’ Honor Guard, New Mexico National Guard and the American Legion Riders will also be conducting military honors for the initial group of veterans being interred following the dedication speakers.

Fellow patriots receiving military funeral honors are: Gen. Douglas L. McBride, David G. Alexander, Vincent J. Powers, Carl G. Branscum, Leonicio J. Sanchez, William M. Croney, Dr. Roger Sanders, Kenneth R. Savage, Arlie D. Moore Jr., Gary Allen Stetter, Juan Leal Porras, William Waller, Phillip “PNut” Lopez Jr., Garland C. and Billie Longley.

Our local veterans cemetery will uniquely be one of only a few local-

(Fourth of July), the Roswell Elks Lodge No. 969 at 1720 N. Montana Ave. will be having its annual Veterans and Families BBQ dinner.

The dinner is from 4 to 7 p.m. The event is open to the public. For more information, contact the Elks Lodge at 622-1560.

On a sad note, while we are all celebrating our liberty this weekend, it’s disheartening to find out some of our fellow patriots aren’t finding much to celebrate this Fourth of July. Another local case of veterans’ health care gone wrong was reported to me this week.

The daughter of a Roswell retired “top” sergeant of the Air Force sent me this heartbreaking account: “My father is a Retired Air Force NCO. He is a ‘survivor’ of the VA Medical System and a 100 percent disabled vet. He had both legs amputated above the knee by a Dr. (name withheld) in Albuquerque at the VA there. (The doctor) stopped the second surgery in the middle of the procedure, declared (he/she) was finished and he was going to die, then tried to have him admitted to the fourth floor hospice unit

at the VA. My mother insisted on bringing him home, with 6 inches of the bone protruding from an open incision that Dr. (name withheld) did not even bother to suture closed. He is alive today because God connected us with a hospice nurse who refused to play by the rules. She and my mom, a retired nurse, made home remedies that helped my dad heal. He is alive and functioning today because of that “outside-of-the-box thinking” a whole lot of prayer, and some traditional medicine.”

The daughter continued, “(A testimony from a veteran with PTSD): He joined the Army when he was 19, in charge of triage in the 101st Airborne Division as their lead medical (specialist). For the last 45 years, from 3-5 a.m. (when he was on radio watch in the Army) he can’t sleep. He thought there were different ways he could solve his PTSD. He tried going to college for 12 years to get over it; it didn’t help. He stayed in the Army for 30 years, went to Special Forces training; that didn’t help. So he put himself back in combat situations,

and went back to Iraq as a contractor 11 times; that didn’t help. Veterans are very dear to my heart. I pray for the day when our nation is once again strong, brave and free from the forces that are fighting us from the inside. Thank you for being a voice for the warriors, wounded and otherwise, who have given so much to so many. God bless you.”

As we all have found out over the last few days, the original “40 veterans dead at the Phoenix VA” has now been “upgraded” to more than 1,000 veterans dead. Many investigators feel the number will continue to rise the deeper they go into the system. Why did it take thousands of veterans dying before anyone started looking into what we veteran advocates have been screaming about over the last 15 years? Much more to come on this!

God bless.

Propensity of NM locusts to grow ‘suckers’ can be undesirable

Q. I am trying to identify a tree growing near my house outside of Santa Fe. Neighbors think it is a New Mexico locust, but all descriptions say that is a flowering tree, and mine does not flower. It does send up new sprouts all over the yard, however.

Because it is very close to the foundation, I am thinking of having it removed to preclude any damage.

Could you confirm an ID and make suggestions about removal?

Dear Editor, The situation at FLETC is more costly than one could possibly imagine. To date, $2.5 million has been spent developing the FLETC Artesia detention facility. All the mattresses formerly used by the Border Patrol trainees were thrown out and replaced with brand new ones. Also, DHS went out and purchased all the large 48- to 55-inch flat-screen TVs from Walmarts in Carlsbad, Artesia and Roswell.

Additionally, close to 50 PlayStations, at $500 a crack, were purchased for the kids. A good deal of the PT facility has been designated for a playroom, clinic and dining facility. This, of course, means a lot of training rooms will no longer be available for training of future Border Patrol agents

Your local NMSU Cooperative Extension office can also help identify your mystery plant.

New Mexico locust is a reasonable plant to consider as a proper identification of your tree in some high elevation, higher moisture areas of New Mexico. It is a small tree, or large shrub, with leaves composed of small, roundish leaflets.

When it flowers, it produces or other federal agents who are trained at the FLETC in Artesia. There will be maid and janitorial service also provided for all. The estimated daily cost is $250 per illegal alien. That comes to $200,000 per day, $1.4 million per week, $730 million per year! And that’s just this facility. I was told by people in the know that this facility will operate for the foreseeable future. That means more than two years. They are going to expand the capacity to at least 1,000 and possibly 1,500.

The conflict of housing undocumented invaders in the same facility that trains Border Patrol agents, frankly, seems like a colossal conflict of interests. Of course, the Border Patrol has been severely restricted as to when, where, and who they apprehend in the past five to six years. That may explain how the present

Another take: “If the right-wing billionaires and apostles of corporate power have their way, public schools will become ‘dead zones of the imagination,’ reduced to anti-public spaces that wage an assault on critical thinking, civic literacy and historical memory.” — Henry Giroux, 2013.

Many public schools, particularly in the urban sense, are already such, however, corporate America via right-wing billionaires and conveniently omitted from quote by Mr. Giroux, liberal left-wing billionaires, have become powerful and successful because of first; their critical thinking, civic literacy

attractive clusters of pink pea-like flowers. It is in the bean/pea family, so the flowers look like the flowers of beans and peas. It flowers early in the spring, so late freezes may kill the blossoms; however, this is rather unlikely since it is native to New Mexico and well adapted to many higher elevation locations in New Mexico. It may just be too young to flower. If you pruned the tree in the winter or late summer, you may have removed the preformed flower buds. This would also explain the lack of flowers.

The New Mexico locust produces numerous “suckers,” or sprouts formed from adventitious buds that

develop on roots. This propensity of this tree to spread underground makes it less desirable than many other plants. In native plantings and for erosion control, its thicket forming habit may actually be beneficial.

As a small tree or large shrub, it may be allowed to grow more closely to home foundations and sidewalks than larger trees. However, its thicket forming tendency may result in plants that are definitely too close to your structures.

Removal, as you mentioned, or transplanting to another location may be a wise thing to do. Perhaps one of the sprouts formed from the roots is already

administration can brag that apprehensions are way down. You can’t count what you’re not allowed to catch!

More frightening is the fact that these illegals have not yet been health screened for diseases, body lice, scabies, TB, AIDS — you name it.

Or screened for connections to drug cartels or murderous gangs. It’s been reported that alien smugglers are charging $7,500 per person to get them to our border. If the illegals are as destitute as we’ve been told, where the heck are they getting that kind of cash?

And how did they even find out about what our government will do to meet their every need (with perks many American families can’t afford) if they just break our laws by illegally crossing our border.

Clearly, the situation is way out of control, not only

here in NM, but in several other unsuspecting and unwilling states. With the U.S. economy close to failure, millions of Americans unemployed, and close to $18 trillion in debt, I can think of no good reason to let this continue. Just last Friday, Obama requested an additional $2 billion for this national program of his making.

Stop tying the hands of Border Patrol agents and let them do what they are paid to do: prevent illegal crossing.

And if necessary, pull in the National Guard to once and for all close our borders to illegal entry. It’s the right thing to do! (Didn’t Obama justify allowing tens of thousands of illegal aliens to invade our country with that very same statement?)

Persistence will definitely be a virtue. Chemical treatment (appropriate herbicides) or physical removal (digging) are both effective management techniques. If you wish to use chemical management techniques, please contact your local NMSU County Extension Service office for information regarding the most effective and safest products to use.

They can also advise you as to proper application methods. If you choose physical removal, the key is to remove them quickly as

Dear Editor, As a long-time pilot, I’d like to state my opinion about the disappearance of Flight 370.

In my early flight days, military pilots wore facemasks attached to an oxygen bag that allowed pilots to fly at high altitudes where oxygen levels were quite low. I know of no casualties using this contraption.

Progression in using fuselage pressurization was fairly rapid. This system appears to be quite safe although a few minor mishaps occurred without loss of pilot or passengers.

However, to my knowledge there were only isolated incidents of oxygen loss in flight. For example, pro- golfer Payne Stewart.

His pilot and passengers all lost their lives when the oxygen system malfunctioned on their small jet

The disappearance of Flight 370 could have been caused by a pilot who lacked oxygen, became confused and made some odd decisions, including placing his aircraft in a climbing mode and making directional changes.

I believe Flight 370 lost its oxygen systems, although I have not heard of any flight experts who discussed this possibility.

I hope this gives cause for further action.

Ruling impact on birth control coverage mixed

NEW YORK (AP) — Business owners who don’t want to pay for their employees’ birth control are ending that coverage after the Supreme Court said they could choose on grounds of religious belief not to comply with part of the health care law.

Some owners are already in touch with their brokers following Monday’s ruling.

Triune Health Group Ltd. wants to know how soon it can change its coverage to stop paying for all contra-

ceptives, said Mary Anne Yep, co-owner of the Oak Brook, Illinois, company, which provides medical management services.

“We were ready to go when we heard the decision,” she said.

T riune, which has 80 employees, had filed lawsuits against the U.S. government and Illinois because of requirements that they pay for contraception.

The Supreme Court ruled that some businesses can,

because of their religious beliefs, choose not to comply with the health care law’s requirement that contraception coverage be provided to workers at no extra charge. The 5-4 ruling has President Barack Obama’s administration looking for another way to provide birth control for women who work for those companies.

The ruling applies to businesses that are closely held, generally defined as having five or fewer individuals owning more than 50

percent of the company’s stock. By some estimates, 90 percent of businesses are closely held and employ about half the nation’s labor force of more than 155 million.

While employers are not yet required to provide insurance under the health care law, many closely held companies do, and under the health care law insurance is required to include contraceptive benefits. However, it’s unknown how many closely held compa-

nies offer insurance, how many workers they have and how many companies plan to stop paying for contraception.

But it’s likely many companies will continue providing coverage for birth control, which would reduce the number of affected workers. A survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation found 85 percent of large employers already paid for contraceptives before the health care law required it.

Many owners said they

The first named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season prompted a hurricane warning for a wide swath of the North Carolina coast and prompted authorities to order a mandatory evacuation for visitors to the Outer Banks’ Hatteras Island as of 5 a.m. Thursday.

US seeks more security at some foreign airports

WASHINGTON (AP) — Intelligence officials are concerned about a new alQaida effort to create a bomb that would go undetected through airport security, according to a counterterrorism official, prompting the U.S. to call for tighter security measures Wednesday at some foreign airports.

The counterterrorism official, who would not be named because he was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly, declined to describe the kind of information that triggered this war ning.

But officials in the past have raised concer ns about non-metallic explosives being surgically implanted inside a traveler’s body, designed to be undetectable in pat-downs or metal detectors.

The U.S. has been planning for additional measures for the past month, a counterterrorism official said Wednesday, adding there was no immediate threat that led to the announcement by the Homeland Security Department that it was requesting tighter security abroad.

American intelligence has picked up indications that bomb makers from al-Qaida’s Yemen affiliate have traveled to Syria to link up with the al-Qaida affiliate there. The groups are working to perfect an explosive device that could foil airport security, the

counterterrorism official said.

Americans and others from the West have traveled to Syria over the past year to join al Nusra Front’s fight against the Syrian government. The fear is that fighters with a U.S. or Western passport — and therefore subject to less stringent security screening — could carry such a bomb onto an American plane.

Al-Qaida’s affiliate in Yemen, called al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, long has been fixated on bringing down airplanes with hidden explosives. It was behind failed and thwarted plots involving suicide bombers with explosives designed to hide inside underwear and explosives hidden inside printer cartridges shipped on cargo planes.

It wasn’t clear which airports were affected by the extra security measures, but industry data show that more than 250 foreign airports offer nonstop service to the U.S., including Paris’ Charles de Gaulle Airport, Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport and the United Arab Emirates’ Dubai International Airport.

The call for increased security was not connected to Iraq or the recent violence there, said a second U.S. counterterrorism of ficial who was not authorized to speak publicly by name.

Jessy James Ezell passed away on July 1, 2014, at the age of 85, surrounded by his loved ones. Graveside services will be held at Woodbine Cemetery on Thursday, July 3 at 2 p.m. with Leslie Hendrix and Nolan Frederick officiating.

Nephews Kendall Hendrix and Jason Hendrix and grandsons Cory Frederick, Nolan Frederick, T ravis DeMerritt, and Tanner Ezell will serve as pallbearers.

Jessy was born March 29, 1929, to James Irvin Ezell and Elsie Marie Ezell in Doniphan, Missouri. He later moved to Artesia where he met and married Alma Ruth Hendrix on August 1, 1953.

He was employed by John Deere where he worked as a farm machinery mechanic for 32 years.

He also worked for the City of Artesia as a mechanic for 10 years before retiring in 1993. In his later years, he enjoyed the company of his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

The Outer Banks will be especially vulnerable, forecasters said. As word of the mandatory evacuation on Hatteras Island spread, a steady stream of cars, trailers and recreational vehicles began rolling north on North Carolina Highway 12, a two-lane road that is the only way to the mainland other than ferries to the south.

Tourism officials expect about 250,000 people to visit the Outer Banks and stay in hotels and rental homes for the long holiday weekend. “We want everybody to be safe and prepared, but we are not overly concerned at this point,” said Lee Nettles, the executive director the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau.

Jessy also loved to play music, and for med the band Family T radition which consisted of family and friends. He sang and played bluegrass for several years and per for med at many area venues and senior citizen’s centers. He also enjoyed watching Nascar races. He will be remembered as a kind and caring man who loved his family and treated others with respect and dignity.

He is preceded in death by his parents, sons Jim Ezell and Rusty Ezell, daughter Jessica Mayfield, a son in law, a daughter in law, three brothers, and three grandchildren.

He is survived by his wife Ruth Ezell of Artesia, brother Franklin Ezell of San Antonio, Texas; sons Thomas Ezell and wife Debbie of Artesia, Ray Ezell of Artesia; daughter Carolyn Frederick and husband Donald of Artesia; nine grandchildren, 19 greatgrandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.

James Patterson and others debate Amazon.com

NEW YORK (AP) — For a discussion titled “Amazon: Business as Usual?” panelists at the New York Public Library cited Winston Churchill, Thomas Jefferson and the Stamp Act of 1765. Questions were raised about the future of democracy, the manners of Silicon Valley and the consequences of religious war.

This is clearly no ordinary time in publishing.

“What’s at stake is writing,” best-selling novelist James Patterson said Tuesday night at a gathering before some 150 people, many from the publishing world. “It’s our livelihood.

It’s the livelihood of our friends.”

As Amazon and Hachette Book Group remain in a standoff over issues such as revenues from e-book sales, with the online retailer restricting access to books by Patterson, Malcolm Gladwell and other Hachette authors, literary agent Tina Bennett moderated an often passionate

90-minute exchange among Patterson and five other speakers. They included publisher Morgan Entrekin of Atlantic Monthly Press, the author and net neutrality advocate Tim Wu, political theorist Danielle Allen and attorney and founder of the music download service EMusic.com, Bob Kohn. both Sympathies, onstage and in the audience, were strongly with the publisher and traditional publishing. Panelists worried about Amazon’s growing power and that its deter mination to lower prices would put competitors out of business and force publishers to cut royalties, making it harder for authors to work on their books. Bennett said the negotiations between Hachette and Amazon “could change our business forever,” and likened her situation to sitting in a hospital waiting room while a loved one was being operated on.

Amazon has provided few comments on the conflict with Hachette and, according to Bennett, declined an invitation to send an official to the library Tuesday.

Standing in for the Seattlebased company was David Vandagriff, an intellectual property attorney who on his blog earlier in the day had wondered if he was the only panelist not subject to “Amazon Derangement Syndrome.”

Entrekin and others spoke of publishers as indispensable patrons of literary culture, investing in books that sometimes take years to complete and taking on authors who aren’t profitable, but have something important to say. “They could make more money just publishing the kind of junk I write,” Patterson joked.

Vandagriff advocated for authors (including his wife, G.G. Vandagriff) who broke from the industry and published through Amazon, saying they had more con-

trol and received much higher royalties. Patterson worried that Amazon was a danger to free expression, even invoking the image of burning books. Vandagriff praised Amazon as an innovator dedicated to its customers.

“What do the people who work at Amazon think of when they get up and in the morning?” said Vandagriff, who on his blog earlier in the day had wondered if he was the only panelist not subject to “Amazon Derangement Syndrome.”

“They are entirely, completely focused on pleasing and delighting the millions of people who shop there.”

A few groans were heard in the auditorium. Fellow speakers onstage responded.

“Are you talking about the warehouses, or the corporate headquarters?” said Patterson, referring to numerous reports that Amazon’s warehouse employees endured harsh conditions.

Academy sues over auctioned Oscar statuette

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The organization that hosts the Academy Awards has sued over the recent auction of a 1942 Oscar awarded to the art director of the film “My Gal Sal” and is seeking to buy back the statuette for a fraction of the nearly $80,000 it was sold for.

The Motion Picture Academy of Arts & Sciences sued Rhode Islandbased Briarbrook Auction Services on Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior

Court.

Briarbrook sold the statuette, which was awarded to Joseph Wright for his art direction of the musical “My Gal Sal,” on June 24 for $79,200. The film starred Rita Hayworth, and Wright’s Oscar was the movie’s only Academy Award win.

The academy is seeking an order requiring Briarbrook to sell the Oscar statuette to it for $10, in accordance with the organization’s

bylaws. The academy adopted a rule in 1951 prohibiting winners or their heirs from selling Oscars.

Briarbrook owner Nanci Thompon said she has not seen the lawsuit, but she noted Wright’s Oscar predated the sales prohibition and said her company was very careful before offering it for sale.

The lawsuit does not identify who purchased the statuette.

“Jeff Bezos, when he goes to work every day, his job is a different job,” Kohn said of Amazon’s founder and CEO. “His job is to win a winner-take-all game.”

Publishers fret even in the dullest moments, and Bennett asked each panelist to rank the current climate on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 business as usual and 5 a five-alarm emergency.

“3,” said Patterson, who has been a leading critic of Amazon among writers and

believes their “religious” passion will sustain them.

“4,” said Allen, who agreed with Patterson that writers were a strong force against Amazon, but was skeptical that the general public would get involved.

“5,” according to Kohn, who said that Amazon was “predatorily” pricing.

“1,” said Vandagriff.

“3,” Entrekin said, but he was talking about the present, when the industry is relatively stable. The future could well be a 5.

Coach: Team wasn’t ready to win Cup Thursday, July 3, 2014 Phone: 575-622-7710, ext. 304

SAO PAULO (AP) — Turns out Jurgen Klinsmann was right: The United States isn’t ready to win the World Cup. The Americans were eliminated in the round of 16 for the second straight tournament. They’ve been ranked 13th or 14th every month since September, which means their exit was pretty much at the stage it’s expected to be.

“Clearly it gives you the message you have a lot of work still ahead of you,” the U.S. coach said Wednesday, a day after the 2-1 loss to Belgium in extra time.

From Wall Street to the White House to the West Coast, Americans watched

their national team on television in record numbers.

While buoyed by the increase in attention, players are desperate to join the world’s elite and far from attaining that level.

Klinsmann was a World Cup champion as a player with West Ger many in 1990 and coach of the German team that reached the 2006 semifinals. Having moved to California in 1998 with his American wife, he is seen as bringing the perspective of soccer’s elite to a nation that remains a new world in the sport.

His message to players is they don’t do enough. They don’t play twice a week, like Champions League stars. They don’t face con-

demnation from their community after losses and poor performances.

“It makes them feel accountable, not just walk away with a bad performance and nothing happens,” he said. “If you have a bad performance, then people should approach you and tell you that, so make sure that next game is not bad anymore and that you step it up.”

President Barack Obama spoke to captain Clint Dempsey and goalkeeper Tim Howard on Wednesday to congratulate the team on its per formance. Obama “commended them not only for their work on the field,

NEW YORK (AP) — The Brooklyn Nets reached an agreement in principle Wednesday with Lionel Hollins to become their coach, moving quickly after the departure of Jason Kidd.

The deal with the former Memphis Grizzlies coach comes two days after the Nets made a trade with Milwaukee to allow Kidd out of his contract so the Bucks could hire him.

Nets general manager Billy King and his assistants then met with Hollins on Monday night and again Tuesday before agreeing to the deal. Ter ms were not disclosed.

“I want to thank the Nets ownership and Billy for this opportunity,” Hollins said in a statement.

“It has been a long process to get back into the league, and I believe that Billy and I will have a very successful working relationship. Brooklyn has firmly established itself as a franchise that is committed to winning, and I eagerly look forward to becoming part of that culture and building on the success of the past two playoff appearances.”

The Nets will introduce Hollins at a press conference Monday.

Hollins led Memphis to 56 victories and the 2013 Western Conference finals before he and the Grizzlies parted ways. The Nets considered him last year after firSee HOLLINS, Page B3

Lionel Hollins will become the head coach of the Brooklyn Nets just two days after former Nets coach Jason Kidd was traded to Milwaukee.

Murray’s one-year reign as British Wimbledon champ comes to an end

LONDON (AP) — The silence at Centre Court made abundantly clear that Andy Murray’s time as Wimbledon champion was coming to a close.

Out of sorts from the start of his quarterfinal against up-and-coming Grigor Dimitrov on Wednesday, Murray — who in 2013 ended Britain’s 77-year wait for one of its own to win the men’s title at the All England Club — sailed an awkward backhand slice long to fall behind by a set and a break.

The crowd of nearly 15,000, usually so vociferous in support of Murray, sat quietly, perhaps not prepared to believe what was happening. All along, Murray’s body language was as negative as his play: He gnawed on his knuckle after seeing an ace zip past; slapped his forehead with his palm after one forehand found the net; bowed his head and slumped his shoulders after another did the same.

When one last forehand fell short, the magical ride ended for Murray and his fans with a 6-1, 7-6 (4), 6-2 loss to the 11th-seeded Dimitrov, who became the first man from Bulgaria to reach a Grand Slam semifinal.

“I have very good memories from that court out there. It’s a special court for me,” said Murray, who lost the 2012 Wimbledon final there, won that year’s

London Olympics gold medal there, then won his historic title 12 months ago there. “I mean, you can have bad days as an athlete. You don’t win all of the time.

Sometimes you just have to take it on the chin and move on.”

He hadn’t lost a set in his first four matches, but made 37 unforced errors Wednesday, more than twice as many as Dimitrov.

“Even when I wanted to get into longer rallies, I was missing shots,” the thirdseeded Murray said. “I was unable to make him work as hard as I needed to.”

Dimitrov was composed throughout, getting broken only once and showing off the all-court game and smooth, onehanded backhand that long ago earned him the nickname “Baby Fed” — as in seven-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer.

On Friday, Dimitrov takes on another past champ, top-seeded Novak Djokovic, who returned to the semifinals for the fifth consecutive year by coming back to beat No. 26 Marin Cilic of Croatia 6-1, 36, 6-7 (4), 6-2, 6-2.

“Novak really played terrific the last two sets,” said three-time Wimbledon winner Boris Becker, who’s coaching Djokovic. “That was the first real test for See MURRAY, Page B3

Rays’ Hernandez helps beat Yankees, 6-3 B2 Thursday, July 3, 2014

SPORTS

NEW YORK (AP) — Sean Rodriguez hit a tiebreaking homer in the sixth inning and drove in three runs, helping the streaking Tampa Bay Rays extend their longest winning string this year to five and hand the New York Yankees their season-worst fifth straight loss, 6-3 Wednesday.

Ben Zobrist doubled twice among his three hits for the Rays, but ran into two outs. With manager Joe Maddon encouraging his team to be more aggressive on the bases, Rodriguez was thrown out trying to stretch an RBI single to the wall in right field in the fourth.

The Rays won all three games at Yankee Stadium for their first road sweep since taking three in the Bronx from Sept. 24-26.

The Rays improved to 11 games under .500 for the first time in a month after falling 18 under on June 10. New York is below .500 at 41-42 for the first time since April 11.

Mariners 5, Astros 2 HOUSTON (AP) — Logan Morrison drove in two runs in a big sixth inning, Chris Young pitched seven strong innings and Seattle completed a three-game sweep.

The Mariners were down by two before a four -run sixth inning, highlighted by Morrison’s double to right field off Brad Peacock (25) that put them on top. James Jones scored on a wild pitch in the inning and John Buck had an RBI single.

Young (8-4) allowed two hits — both solo homers — and struck out a season-high eight, his most since he fanned nine against Colorado in 2012. Fernando Rodney pitched a scoreless ninth for his 24th save.

Marwin Gonzalez and rookie Kike Hernandez homered for the Astros. Hernandez has three hits and two RBIs in two games since being called up from the minors.

inning and Toronto dealt Milwaukee its third straight loss.

Jose Bautista and Juan Francisco also connected for the Blue Jays, who have hit a major league-high 113 home runs this season.

Facing Will Smith (1-1), Jose Reyes led off the ninth with a double that left fielder Elian Herrera dove for but couldn’t handle.

Melky Cabrera was intentionally walked and Brandon Kintzler came on to face Anthony Gose, who failed to advance the runners with a bunt when Reyes was forced at third.

Darin Mastroianni struck out but Encarnacion ended it with a drive into the second deck in left, his 26th.

Encar nacion is tied for the major league lead with White Sox rookie Jose Abreu and Baltimore’s Nelson Cruz.

Casey Janssen (3-0) worked one inning for the win.

Tigers 9, Athletics 3 DETROIT (AP) — Torii Hunter hit three RBI singles and capped a six-run burst in the sixth inning that propelled Detroit to a three-game sweep.

The three-time AL Central champion Tigers won for the 11th time in 13 games. The division leaders reached the halfway mark with a 47-34 mark.

Oakland still has the best record in the majors despite its stumble at Comerica Park.

Justin Verlander (7-7) won for the first time since May 30. He looked like he might be in trouble when Coco Crisp and Brandon Moss hit long homers off him in the first inning, but left after the sixth with a 9-2 lead.

Jesse Chavez (6-5) struggled for the second straight start, giving up five runs in five-plus innings.

Reliever Jim Johnson replaced him and allowed four runs while only getting one out.

league ERA leader Johnny Cueto to give San Diego to its first three-game sweep since September.

The Padres, who tied their season high with their fourth straight win, hadn’t swept a series since Sept. 6-8 against Colorado.

Ross (7-8) was dominating in throwing his first complete game in 55 career starts. He struck out nine and walked none.

With the bases loaded and two outs in the first, Rivera hit a blooper to the gap that hit off the heel of the glove of diving center fielder Billy Hamilton to give San Diego a 3-0 lead.

Cueto (8-6) came in with the best ERA in the majors, 1.88. It rose to 1.99.

Cubs 16, Red Sox 9 BOSTON (AP) — Justin Ruggiano, Mike Olt and Welington Castillo hit two-run homers to power Chicago in the finale of a three-game interleague series sweep.

Ruggiano drove in five runs, Darwin Barney had four hits and Nate Schierholtz added a solo homer for Chicago, which won for the sixth time in seven games away from Wrigley Field and posted its first interleague sweep of three or more games since taking three from Cleveland in 2009.

It was the Cubs’ first interleague sweep on the road since winning three against the crosstown rival White Sox in 2007.

Mookie Betts hit his first major league homer for the Red Sox, who lost for the ninth time in 13 games.

Red Sox DH David Ortiz became the 36th player in major league history to collect 1,000 extra-base hits with a groundrule double.

White Sox 3, Angels 2 CHICAGO (AP) — Leury Garcia drove in the winning run with a pinch-hit single off Michael Morin in the ninth inning to lift Chicago to victory.

bleheader sweep and finally took out the Angels after dropping their first five games against Los Angeles this season and seven straight overall.

Alejandro De Aza, who entered earlier as a runner for Paul Konerko, started the winning rally with a one-out single in the ninth off Morin (2-2). Conor Gillaspie followed with a broken-bat single past a diving Albert Pujols at first base to put runners on the corners.

The Angels then brought in Kole Calhoun to replace right fielder Collin Cowgill and serve as the second baseman as part of a five-man infield. Garcia, batting for Moises Sierra, lined a 2-1 pitch to left to drive in De Aza. Indians 5, Dodgers 4 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mike Aviles capped a three-run eighth inning with a two-run single against Brian Wilson, rallying Cleveland past Los Angeles.

R yan Rabur n homered of f Hyun-Jin R yu, who was lifted after seven with a 3-2 lead.

Wilson (1-3) retired only one of the six batters he faced, giving up a tying single by pinch-hitter David Murphy and Aviles’ clutch hit after an intentional walk to Lonnie Chisenhall.

Brian Shaw (3-1) pitched a scoreless seventh to get the victory.

Scott Atchison gave up a solo homer by Scott Van Slyke in the eighth. Cody Allen got four outs for his eighth save, retiring Matt Kemp on a flyball to the warning track with the potential tying and winning runs in scoring position.

Braves 3, Mets 1 ATLANTA (AP) — Chris Johnson hit a three-run double, Julio Teheran pitched seven strong innings and Atlanta polished off a three-game sweep.

The Braves extended their season-best winning streak to seven games. The Mets have lost four straight and seven of their last eight games and are a seasonworst 11 games below .500.

Polanco’s line-drive shot to right off Chase Anderson in the second inning gave the Pirates a 3-0 lead.

Andrew McCutchen of the Pirates, who earlier in the day was named NL player of the month for June, did not play the field in the ninth inning. He fouled a ball of f his foot and winced in pain in the eighth, but continued his at-bat and singled.

but for carrying themselves in a way that made the country proud,” the White House said in a statement.

The Americans’ final match, which kicked off at 4 p.m. EDT on a weekday, was seen by 21.6 million on ESPN and Univision, impressively close to the record 24.7 million set for a Sunday evening game against Portugal earlier in the tournament.

An average of 1.6 million watched the loss to Belgium on digital streams.

“People now start to care about it. Fans care about it. They comment on social media. They comment everywhere about it, and that’s good,” Klinsmann said.

His most controversial moves coming into the tournament were cutting Landon Donovan, the biggest star in U.S. soccer history, and taking along 18-year -old Julian Green, 20-year-old DeAndre Yedlin and 21-year-old John Brooks. Brooks and Green, who turned 19 on June 6, responded with late-game goals when they came in as substitutes, and Yedlin was stellar against Belgium when he replaced injured right back Fabian Johnson.

But Klinsmann’s proclamation that the U.S. would play an attacking game didn’t pan out. The Americans were outshot by a combined 92-41.

Hollins

ing P.J. Carlesimo before Continued from Page B1 hiring Kidd.

He was the only known candidate the Nets interviewed this time. King said he had reached out to one other person who chose not to pursue the job.

“If you look at (his) track record and what he did in Memphis, he was able to go in there and take a team, added some veterans and they continually got better,” King said Tuesday. “He developed some young guys, (Marc) Gasol, some big guys. If you look at Memphis, they got consistently got better every year. All the way to the Western Conference finals.”

Kidd led Brooklyn to a 44-38 record and the second round of the playoffs in his lone season but the Nets allowed him to pursue other jobs after denying his request for more power within the organization. The Bucks held Kidd’s welcoming press conference earlier Wednesday.

Hollins is known as a strong defen-

“The interesting part is every time we would go down a goal, we’ll shift it up,” he said. “I believe it’s more a mental topic that we have to work on than it is a talent topic.”

Klinsmann took over from Bob Bradley in July 2011. Last December, he was given a contract through the 2018 tournament that added the title of U.S. Soccer Federation technical director. In the next fouryear cycle, he has numerous chances to integrate youth: the CONCACAF Gold Cups in 2015 and 2017, the centennial Copa America in 2016 and a possible trip to the Confederations Cup in 2017.

There also is the under-23 team that will try to qualify for the 2016 Rio Olympics — the 2012 team stumbled and didn’t reach the London Games, slowing the careers of more than a dozen players.

“We’ve got to do much better than the last cycle,” he said.

He defended his pre-tournament comment that the U.S. was not ready to win the World Cup, saying he didn’t want to raise “expectations to kind of a level that is over the moon.” After he arrived in Brazil, he mentioned he was prepared to stay for the entire tournament, that he had booked a plane ticket for the day after the final just in case.

But as U.S. players prepared to scatter to clubs and family vacations, Klinsmann conceded he also was leaving early.

“I changed the ticket last night,” he said. sive coach, with the Grizzlies holding opponents to an NBA-low 89.3 points per game in his final season. He is the franchise’s career leader in wins and led them to three straight playof f appearances.

He takes over a veteran team in Brooklyn that could easily fit his style of play if Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce return, and Brook Lopez and Deron Williams come back healthy after surgeries.

Hollins went 214-201 with the Grizzlies and improved the team’s record in each of his four full seasons, from 40 wins in 2009-10 to 56-26 in his final season. Memphis upset top-seeded San Antonio in the first round of the 2011 playoffs.

But the Grizzlies came under new ownership and management during his final season, and they chose not to renew Hollins’ contract after they were swept by the Spurs in the conference finals.

He met last month with Cleveland before the Cavaliers hired David Blatt.

Anthony visits Rockets, depicted in Lin’s jersey HOUSTON (AP) — Prized free agent Car melo Anthony visited Houston on Wednesday and was greeted with images of him in two Rockets uniforms.

A day after visiting the Bulls, the New York Knicks’ star continued his tour in Houston. A video board outside the Toyota Center depicted one image of Anthony in Houston’s white uniform with red lettering and another in a retro red and yellow uniform. Between the pictures was Anthony’s logo with the word ‘Melo’ in it.

He was wearing his No. 7 in both renderings, despite the fact that current Rocket Jeremy Lin wears that number. The Rockets would likely have to unload the point guard to snag Anthony.

Lin responded to the snub on Twitter on Wednesday afternoon with a bible verse.

He tweeted the verse Luke 6:29: “If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them.”

He later tweeted a much stronger response to the jersey pictures.

“Im entitled to standup for myself/say i felt disrespected as i did thru tweet but point is love unconditionally/as jesus loved me,” Lin tweeted.

Houston got the biggest prize in free agency last of fseason when it signed Dwight Howard away from the Lakers, with designs on making a deep run in the

playoffs this year. But the Rockets were bounced from the postseason in the first round just as they were the year before. So they started looking for more upgrades to the roster.

They made the first move to free up money for adding players by agreeing to a trade that will send center Omer Asik and cash considerations to the New Orleans Pelicans for a protected future first-round draft pick.

Lin is set to make more than $8 million next season in the final year of a threeyear contract. That’s a steep price for a backup after he was relegated to the bench last season because of solid play by Patrick Beverley and started just 33 games.

The 30-year -old Anthony would add another proven score to a team that features Howard and Harden. Anthony averaged 25.2 points last season with the Knicks, which was second in the NBA to Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant. Harden was fifth in the league with a 24.3 average, but the team struggled in its playoff series against the Trail Blazers while focused on shutting him down.

Anthony is expected to meet with the Mavericks and the Lakers before sitting down with the Knicks.

The Rockets would not provide details about Anthony’s meeting Wednesday.

TORONTO (AP) — Kyle Lowry is staying with the Toronto Raptors after leading them to the Atlantic Division title.

The point guard has agreed to re-sign with the Raptors, his agent confirmed Wednesday night. Yahoo Sports reported that the deal was for four years and $48 million.

Lowry averaged career highs of 17.9 points and 7.4 assists for the Raptors, who were one of the NBA’s biggest surprises in going 48-34. They were expected to be one of league’s worst teams, particularly after trading forward Rudy Gay early in the season, but instead nearly reached the Eastern Conference semifinals before falling to Brooklyn in seven games.

They were led by their guard tandem of Lowry and All-Star DeMar DeRozan, who will be staying together.

Lowry posted a picture of himself on

Lowry re-signs with Raptors for four-year, $48 million deal

Twitter in a Raptors jersey, writing that

Toronto would be his home city.

He was considered the top point guard

available and reportedly targeted by con-

tending teams such as Miami and Houston during free agency before deciding to stay put.

Contracts can’t be signed until July 10.

Lowry has also played for Memphis and

Houston, which traded him to Toronto in

2012. The 2006 first-round pick by the

Grizzlies out of Villanova has career averages of 11.7 points and 5.4 assists.

him.”

Djokovic was troubled

by Cilic, to be sure, but also by repeated slips that prompted the Serb to change his shoes midway through the match.

Playing on No. 1 Court, Djokovic also was rattled by intermittent cheering from outside the arena for Murray, whose match was played simultaneously across the way.

“I said to the chair umpire: ‘Let’s just stop (our) match, put (theirs) live on the big screen, and let’s watch it ‘til they’re done,”’ recounted Djokovic, last year’s runner-up to Murray.

On the other half of the draw, Federer will face No. 8 Milos Raonic, the first Canadian man in a Grand Slam semifinal since 1923.

Federer was broken for

Thursday, July 3, 2014 the first time in the tournament, and dropped a set for the first time, too, but defeated Australian Open champion Stan Wawrinka 3-6, 7-6 (5), 64, 6-4 in a matchup between a pair of pals from Switzerland.

In 2013, Federer lost in the second round at the All England Club.

“Last year was rough. I was very disappointed,” the 32-year -old Federer said. “Went back to the practice courts. Didn’t have any options left at that point.”

Raonic outserved Nick Kyrgios — the 19-year old Australian who eliminated Rafael Nadal in the fourth round — in a 6-7 (4), 6-2, 6-4, 7-6 (4) win with the help of 39 aces.

In the women’s quarterfinals, No. 3 Simona Halep beat 2013 runnerup Sabine Lisicki 6-4, 60, and now faces No. 13 Eugenie Bouchard, who

got past No. 9 Angelique Kerber 6-3, 6-4. Thursday’s other semifinal is 2011 champion Petra Kvitova against No. 23 Lucie Safarova. Kvitova is the only woman left who has won a major title.

“It’s a nor mal evolution of things,” the 20year-old Bouchard said.

“As the great champions get a bit older, the new ones start coming in.”

Dimitrov and Raonic, both 23, would like to see that among the men.

It’s the ninth year in a r ow that at least two members of tennis’ socalled “Big 4” — Federer, Djokovic, Nadal, Murray — made the semifinals at Wimbledon. That quartet has earned the last 11 trophies.

“The younger guys, we want to come on that stage. We strive for this.

I think we’re thirsty for that,” Dimitrov said. “We want to prove ourselves.”

Homer, on review, gives Nationals win over Rockies WASHINGTON (AP) — Ian Desmond had to wait nearly four minutes on third base Wednesday night while his potential goahead home run was reviewed.

“I was just wondering what I was going to do if they messed it up,” he said, “and luckily they didn’t.”

After the replay review, Desmond’s solo homer provided the go-ahead run as the Washington Nationals rallied from a three-run deficit for 4-3 win over the Colorado Rockies, sweeping the three-game series.

Right-hander Matt Belisle (2-4) came on to face Desmond with one out in the seventh. Desmond’s hit appeared to bounce off the top of the wall in right center, then off the railing in front of the first row and onto the field.

“The way it bounced back hard like that I kind of assumed it was over, and the way that (center fielder Drew) Stubbs kind of just didn’t go after it made it a little bit easier,” he said.

“But at that point I was like ‘I’m going to get a triple,’ so yes I thought it was gone, but I wasn’t 100 percent sure.”

After a review that took 3:42, Desmond had his 15th homer.

Jayson Werth also homered for Washington, which has won a season-high five straight.

Washington’s Doug Fister (7-2) was hit hard early and allowed three runs on seven hits over seven innings.

“Constant battle all night,” he said. “Biggest

thing was making sure the ball got down in the zone.”

Tyler Clippard handled the eighth and Rafael Soriano pitched the ninth for his 20th.

Michael McKenry hit a three-run homer for Colorado, which has lost 14 of 16 and finished its road trip 1-6.

Rockies rookie left-hander Tyler Matzek went 6 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on six hits in his fifth start. He threw 95 pitches, striking out six and walking one.

Matzek struck out the final three batters he faced — the last one being lefthanded Bryce Harper before manager Walt Weiss brought in Belisle to face the right-handed Desmond.

“I think (Matzek) got stronger as the game went on, but he was in uncharted territory,” Weiss said.

“He’s a young guy that probably hasn’t thrown more than 90, 95 pitches in the game.”

The Rockies took 3-0 lead in the second.

T roy Tulowitzki and Corey Dickerson opened with singles. After R yan Wheeler flied out, McKenry connected with Fister’s second pitch for his first home run of the season.

Colorado hit the ball hard off Fister, who finished with five strikeouts and no walks while improving to 5-0 this season at Nationals Park.

He also got help from his defense, with Harper and Denard Span running down several balls in the outfield and Ryan Zimmerman making a diving stop

in the seventh.

“There was a lot of strong contact tonight but guys made some great plays,” Fister said.

Washington tied it in the fourth.

After Anthony Rendon singled and stole second, Matzek fell behind Werth 31. He left a fastball up and Werth sent it just over the center field fence for his seventh homer.

“Had a base open, 3-1 to a big hitter, that was a stupid pitch,” Matzek said.

Harper followed with a bloop double to short left, went to third on a wild pitch, and scored on Desmond’s single.

“I don’t think we ever think we’re out of it,” Williams said. “We think that we have a chance at any time, especially three down.”

With the exception of Jose Lobaton spelling catcher Wilson Ramos, Williams used the same lineup for the third straight game since Harper returned, with Harper in left, Ryan at third and Rendon at second.

Colorado turned a highlight-reel double-play in the first.

With no outs, second baseman DJ LeMahieu made a sliding stop of Rendon’s grounder behind second base and flipped it with his glove hand to shortstop Tulowitzki at second.

Tulowitzki barehanded the toss facing center field, spun around and fired to first in time to get Rendon.

BOSTON (AP) — A lawyer for the families of two men allegedly gunned down by former Patriots star Aaron Hernandez will ask a judge to bar the football team from paying Hernandez a $3.25 million contract signing bonus.

A hearing is scheduled Wednesday in Suf folk Superior Court on a request for a preliminary injunction.

Hernandez is accused of fatally shooting Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado in 2012, just weeks before he signed a 5-year, $40 million contract. Prosecutors say Hernandez shot the men as they sat in their car at a stop light after one of the men accidentally spilled his drink on Hernandez at a Boston nightclub.

William Kennedy, an attorney representing the men’s families in wrongful death lawsuits, said the Patriots have challenged Her nandez’s right to r eceive the bonus. But Kennedy said he wants a court or der in case the

team is or der ed to pay Hernandez.

According to the lawsuit filed by Kennedy, Hernandez has filed a grievance seeking the money, plus $82,000 owed to him by the team.

Stacey James, a spokesman for the team, did not immediately r etur n a call and email seeking comment Wednesday. A lawyer representing the team in the wrongful death suits and a spokesman for the NFL Players Association also did not immediately return calls seeking comment.

Kennedy also wants the court to freeze Her nandez’s assets. Each of the lawsuits is seeking $6 million in damages.

The team released Hernandez after his arrest in the 2013 death of semipro football player Odin Lloyd.

“It’s really a motion to prevent any further payments to be made by the New England Patriots to Mr. Her nandez pending

any further action of the court,” Kennedy said.

“What we’re looking to do is preserve as much as we possibly can — any assets — for the satisfaction of the families of the two decedents.”

Hernandez has pleaded not guilty in all three slayings.

Hernandez’s attorney in the wrongful death lawsuits, John Fitzpatrick, said in court papers that the attempt to prevent the team from paying Hernandez is “fundamentally unfair” because Hernandez needs the money to pay for his defense in the three killings and the civil cases.

Depriving Her nandez access to his ear nings “would impair his state and federal constitutional rights to counsel and to due process,” the response said.

Fitzpatrick did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Howard’s remarkable play sparks U.S. World Cup run

SAO PAULO (AP) — T im Howard left a lasting impression on Americans from coast to coast — and fans around the world, really — for his incredible, improbable saves in the loss to Belgium in extra time that sent the U.S. home from the World Cup to a country captivated.

Howard is a big reason — 6foot-3, to be exact — for the fascination. He has become a Twitter sensation in less than a day, while raising one important question before he leaves Brazil: Will the 35-year-old goalkeeper be back for the next World Cup four years from now in Russia?

“When you’re in the public eye, it’s part of what you have to deal with,” Howard said Wednesday of the hype from his record-setting World Cup. “I’ve been dealing with it for a long time. It’s nice that America knows about soc-

cer now. That’s what’s important.”

Howard’s 16 saves in the 2-1 loss were the most in a World Cup game since FIFA started tracking the statistic in 2002.

Someone had fun with Howard’s heroics on Wikipedia, briefly listing the star goalie as incumbent “Secretary of Defense of the United States of America.”

Later, the real defense secretary, Chuck Hagel, called Howard with congratulations and a team invite to the Pentagon.

A photo from Howard’s high school yearbook even began circulating, featuring the quote, “It will take a nation of millions to hold me back.”

Even Belgium captain Vincent Kompany tweeted: “Two words..

TIM HOWARD (hash)Respect (hash)BelUSA.” That post had received 59,675 re-tweets and

45,242 favorites by early evening Wednesday.

“It’s fantastic because it also shows how all the games in the World Cup were received back at home,” U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said, “and many people watched this competition maybe more than it was four years ago in South Africa. It’s fun to see that, and he deserves every compliment for his game last night.”

The hashtag ThingsT imHowardCouldSave was trending on Twitter, and fans superimposed his image into all sorts of famous scenes.

There’s an outstretched Howard preventing the Titanic from sinking, and breaking up Diego Maradona’s “Hand of God” goal.

“With social media, nothing surprises me,” Howard said.

“There are some very creative and fun individuals out there.”

and is likely to close out his career with Everton.

“He was fantastic. There’s no other way to put it,” midfielder Michael Bradley said. “He’s somebody that we rely on so much for his performances on the field but also his leadership and his presence. So honestly, there’s not enough good things to say about him as a player, as a man, as a leader.”

Klinsmann knows how much he meant for the Americans reaching back-to-back World Cup knockout rounds.

“I’m lucky to be in a long line of great goalkeepers,” Howard said when asked about his legacy. “I don’t think you can ever prepare yourself for those types of performances.”

The team was scheduled to fly back to the U.S. late Wednesday, and Howard soon will return to his Premier League club, Everton.

Millions of Americans will be rooting for Howard to play in the 2018 World Cup. That’s something Howard will discuss with those close to him.

“What happens going forward with the national team, I don’t know,” he said. “I don’t think it’s very black and white, to be honest. I need to figure all that out.”

Howard had 15 shutouts — one behind co-leaders Petr Cech of Chelsea and Wojciech Szczesny of Arsenal — in 37 league matches for Everton this season before joining the Americans in mid-May for training camp in Norther n Califor nia. In the spring, he signed a two-year contract extension through 2018

Solo HRs lead to Orioles’ 6- Royals get another road win 4 win over Rangers in delay BALTIMORE (AP) — On a night when Baltimore struggled to get hits against Texas’ young right-hander making his first major league start, the Orioles simply stayed patient and eventually broke through against the Rangers’ bullpen.

Adam Jones and R yan Flaherty hit solo homers and Baltimore beat Texas for the third consecutive game, 6-4 on Wednesday.

The Rangers have lost eight consecutive road games, their longest drought since 2005.

Baltimore stayed within one game of first-place Toronto, which beat Mil7-4, earlier waukee Wednesday. The Orioles (45-39) moved six games over .500, equaling a season-high.

“That was really impressive,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. “That was one of the more impressive things I’ve seen, to be able to bring that intensity into a game like that. The whole group, I was real proud of them tonight.”

The game was delayed 1 hour and 38 minutes because of rain in the bot-

Jones hit his 16th home run of the season and had three RBIs. Flaherty, who started at third base in place of the suspended Manny Machado, hit his fourth homer of the season and also made several nice defensive plays.

Baltimore has homered in 12 consecutive games.

Orioles right-hander Brad Brach (2-0) entered in the sixth and earned the victory by throwing 1 1-3 scoreless innings with two strikeouts. Zach Britton earned his 11th save with a perfect ninth.

Texas’ Miles Mikolas was effective in his first major league start. He allowed three runs and three hits with four strikeouts and two walks over 5 1/3 innings.

Texas (37-47) has used 11 starting pitchers this year, most in the American League. The Rangers have lost 13 of their past 16 games.

Staked to a 4-1 lead, Mikolas walked Nick Markakis and Steve Pearce with one out in the sixth.

Jason Frasor entered and allowed a sacrifice fly to Jones and an RBI single to Nelson Cruz. He then walked Chris Davis before allowing a game-tying RBI single to J.J. Hardy.

Flaherty provided the Orioles with their first lead, 5-4, hammering an offering from Neal Cotts (2-5) onto the flag court behind right field to lead off the seventh.

Jones added an insurance run that inning with a twoout single.

“It’s sum of the parts for sure,” Flaherty said. “It can’t be the same guys every night. And it’s an opportunity for other guys to get in there and try to contribute and help the team win.”

After winning his previous two starts, Baltimore right hander Chris Tillman struggled most of the game.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Kansas City Royals have played well away from home.

They’re consistently capable of winning with only a couple of runs.

If they can keep this up for the summer, they’ll probably be right there in the pennant race at the end.

Jason Vargas threw seven scoreless innings, Raul Ibanez homered in his second game for Kansas City and the Royals beat the Minnesota Twins 4-0 Wednesday.

“We’ve been running the ball out there and doing a good job of keeping our team in the ballgame, and when we’re not the boys are stepping up and keeping us in the ballgame,” Vargas said. “So we’ve got a good combo going on right now.”

Vargas (8-3) allowed four singles and two walks while striking out five, allowing only two runners from a diluted Twins lineup to reach second base. Only five of their 21 outs against him were outfield flies.

“He’s got all the pitches,” Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said.

Mike Moustakas and Jarrod Dyson hit RBI singles in the second inning against Kevin Correia (4-10), and that was all Vargas needed. With Joe Mauer missing, placed on the disabled list before the game because of a strained muscle on his right side, the Twins didn’t cause Vargas any trouble. They were shut out for the sixth time this season and lost for the seventh time in their last nine games.

“Obviously you have to score to win,” said Correia, the league leader in losses.

“It’s tough. It’s a good pitching staff they have. It’s going to happen.”

With rookie Yordano Ventura and now Danny Duffy joining the veteran trio of Vargas, James Shields and Jeremy Guthrie, who are all in the top 10 in the league in innings pitched, the Royals have a deep rotation. They’ve pitched well

enough to make up for substandard seasons by several key hitters.

Vargas improved to 4-1 in his last eight starts, seven of which have counted as quality: six innings or more and three runs or less. Vargas also became the first Royals left-hander to win eight games or more before the All-Star break since Chris George in 2003.

“I thought he was splendid,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “He was pretty much in complete control.”

The 42-year-old Ibanez signed Monday with the Royals, the team that first gave him a regular spot in the lineup all the way back in 2001. He had two hits and two runs in this game, including the solo shot to right field in the eighth. Ibanez was released by the Los Angeles Angels last month.

Eric Hosmer, who walked three times, added an RBI single in the ninth inning for insurance.

The Royals won their fifth straight road series. After losing eight of 12 following a 10-game winning streak, Vargas put them back on track.

“Just typical Vargas, just going out, working, throwing strikes, letting his defense work,” Hosmer said. “He really knows his game plan when he’s out there.”

Correia lowered his ERA to 4.95, the only time he’s had that mark under 5.00 since his first start of the year, after surrendering six hits and two walks in six innings while striking out three. The righthander completed exactly six innings for the fifth consecutive turn, and he has allowed two runs or fewer in four of those starts.

But the second inning was the one that hurt, when five batters reached. He struck out Billy Butler to finish the frame with the bases loaded.

DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR ABBY: I am a gay man who has had a difficult, distant relationship with my only brother, “Bill.” He has made many nasty, homophobic remarks, and my partner, “Jon,” has been excluded from many family gatherings. Because Jon wasn’t welcomed I also did not attend those gatherings, and I endured further wrath because I didn’t.

Bill’s daughter has just announced that she is a lesbian.

His reaction is mystifying. He has embraced her and her partner and has lovingly included them into the heart of the family.

I am happy that my niece has found love and support. I am also jealous that she has a better father than I did a brother. Are my feelings justified?

SAD SIBLING IN VIRGINIA

DEAR SAD SIBLING: Of course your feelings are justified. You are human, and your skin isn’t made of Teflon. It’s sad that your brother couldn’t have treated you and Jon with more compassion and understanding.

I find it interesting how people’s perspective can radically change when a child of theirs is involved.

Now let’s see if your brother’s attitude toward you changes, and how forgiving you and your partner can be if it does.

#####

DEAR ABBY: I bought a friend a gift recently.

Her response? “You should have just given me the money because I really need it.” A few years ago, I was going to buy another friend an expensive pair of shoes and she

COMICS

convinced me not to because she said she could buy 10 pairs from a discount store for the amount I was planning to spend.

I love giving gifts during the holidays and for birthdays, and enjoy choosing things I think my friends might like or need. I hate giving money! Isn’t part of the gift-giving experience for the giver, too?

I feel it should be my choice to buy whatever I want for someone, and their response should just be, “Thank you.” It irks me when people dictate to me what I should give them. Am I just being a control freak, or do I have the wrong idea of gift-giving?

GIFT GIVER IN TEXAS

DEAR GIFT GIVER: A thoughtful gift giver selects things the recipient can use and enjoy. A grateful recipient doesn’t look a gift horse in the mouth and say she’d prefer the cash.

However, the woman who convinced you not to spend hundreds of dollars on a pair of designer shoes she might not be able to

return was, I think, doing both of you a favor. While it’s your prerogative to give whatever you want to whomever you want, don’t you think it makes more sense to bestow something the person can use and enjoy than to satisfy your ego?

#####

DEAR ABBY: Can you settle a dispute for me?

When you go up to a house with two doors — a regular door and a screen door — and there is no doorbell, is it proper to open the first door and knock on the second door or is it considered rude?

KNOCK, KNOCK DEAR KNOCK, KNOCK: Because in the absence of a doorbell the only way you can make your presence known would be to knock, open the screen door and knock. Then step back and close the screen door so you’re not intruding on the space of the person who answers it.

FROM HELOISE

KING FEATURES SYNDICATE Dear Heloise: I never realized all the DUST that accumulates on the lampshades throughout the house. Ick! Do you have any hints for how to clean these (mostly cloth) lampshades?

Diane T. in Ohio

Today’s Crossword Puzzle

I do have some hints for these often-neglected areas, which can trap quite a bit of dust. If you have pleated lampshades, you can gently remove the dust by using a makeup brush, clean paintbrush or the dusting-brush attachment on your vacuum.

For a flat lampshade, you also can use a makeup brush or paintbrush, but a lint roller works really well, particularly if you have pets and their hair is on the lampshade.

For either style of lampshade, you also can try using a hair dryer on the “High” setting to blow off the dust. An added Heloise hint: Make cleaning these lampshades part of your regular dusting routine to keep dust to a minimum.

For Better or For Worse

#####

Dear Heloise: My old metal garden rake had a wooden handle that became very dry, and splinters were a problem.

I was going to use duct tape, but I wanted something better to grip. I had some old bicycle inner tubes. I cut about an 18-inch length of one of the rubber tubes. I dusted the end of the rake handle and slid the tube onto it. It worked so well. I have since used this method on shovels, ax handles and other tools. It’s a great way to preserve the life of your garden equipment.

John in Newbury, N.H.

Dear Heloise: I am in independent living. I gave up my car before anyone told me I should. But, frustratingly, I receive offers from friends and family to come visit, but never an invitation to be picked up and taken to enjoy a visit on someone’s porch or patio.

Naturally, those of us in this situation aren’t going to ask anyone to invite us, but it is awful to be treated as if we are on our deathbed and able to visit only the ones who come to our bedside.

Some of us are not in our “last days.”

I realize that it is much easier to visit someone in his or her apartment, but if it is intended to give the oldster a treat, then come get the person and take him or her home. It doesn’t require any preparation. There is no pill that can give us the lift that being invited out will provide.

H.R., Manhattan, Kan. Dear Heloise: When we move, I always put the folded sheets, pillowcases, toilet paper, paper towels, some paper plates, plastic silverware, paper cups, bars of soap and any other items that are needed upon moving into the washer and dryer. This is an easy way to find them quickly.

Carolyn in Abilene, Texas

Dear Heloise: I got tired of an old fountain that I constantly was having to clean. I turned it into a succulent garden.

No more trickling water sounds, and much easier to maintain.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be aware of your tendency to be overcritical. You suppress your ingenuity when you fall into a negative mindset. Pressure could build around what you must do. Understand that you might need to reorganize your schedule. Tonight: Treat a loved one to a celebration.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might not be aware of how much your natural, relaxed ways draw others to you. Resist becoming upset because of a hassle or two -- it is not worth it. An important bond you have with a child seems to be changing. Make an adjustment.

Tonight: Let it all hang out.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You need some downtime. Even if you are out and about, you are likely to remain closed off. Wouldn’t it be better to take off for a day or two and get some “you” time? Reach out to a loved one at a distance and share what ails you. Tonight: Nap first, then decide.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Zero in on friends’ plans, and maintain an even pace in order to clear up what must be done. Be more forthright in how you deal with a close relative or loved one. This seems to be changing in front of your eyes. Tonight: Where the people are.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might feel pressured once more by a parent or loved one. Be sure to respond to others’ authority and concerns. You could feel as if you have to respond to each request, thus

creating more stress for yourself. Allow others to pitch in more often. Tonight: Celebrate.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Connect with someone at a distance whom you might have plans with for the holiday. You have the ability to clear out a lot of obstacles quickly. A friend or loved one might seem remote. Don’t read too much into this, as he or she behaves like this often. Tonight: Switch gears.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Someone you care a lot about could be quite demanding. Don’t allow this person to force your hand. How you see a situation could be changing. Listen to your intuition about what is going on. Maybe you can root out the problem. Tonight: Join a friend.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Others come forward with suggestions. They seem to be very concerned about how you feel. Let them dote on you for a change, as it usually is the other way around. Do yourself a favor and relax. Forget about entertaining; instead, be entertained.

Tonight: Enjoy the evening.
