SEK family hosts exchange student

County discusses bus security camera

A CRASH COURSE

By STEVEN SCHWARTZ steven@iolaregister.com

Nozomi Sato arrived in Kansas from Japan on July 22, the first day of the Anderson County Fair — quite a crash course for someone who had never before been to America.

She traveled to America with a group of 800 Japanese exchange students, eight of whom concluded their journey in Kansas.

Stacy and Joel Sprague — along with their children Kendra, Rebecca and Brock — picked up Nozomi outside of Junction City and brought her to their farm near Lone Elm. For both Nozomi and the Spragues, these are new experiences.

Stacy said she applied for the Hippo Family Club, a summer foreign exchange program, after speaking with Becky Meiwes about

her experience in the program.

“It’s our first experience like this,” she said.

Stacy is a seventh-grade math teacher at Iola Middle School. She, along with Kendra, Rebecca, Brock and Hannah Ingle (Brock’s girlfriend), sat with Nozomi in her classroom on Tuesday afternoon to discuss their experiences.

“It’s about sharing our culture, our way of living,” Stacy said. “We like what we do.”

Nozomi, 13, is the second student they have hostSee EXCHANGE | Page A5

The bus owned and operated by Allen County that ferries elderly folks around the county soon may have a “big brother is watching” feature.

Steve Prasko, of Advantage Computer, told commissioners Tuesday morning his company could install a surveillance camera on the bus to keep a video record of its occupants.

Thoughts about the camera arose amid concerns about liability the county might incur if something happened on the bus, such as a rider falling.

“I believe in video systems,” said Commissioner Tom Williams, who as sheriff outfitted his officers with head-mounted cameras that provide indisputable evidence of what goes on while they are on duty.

No specific instances of problems were mentioned about the bus, more that a Tom Williams camera on board would be preemptive.

Prasko said cameras, about the size of a computer mouse, were installed on Le RoyGridley school district buses. That led to fewer problems, once the students were aware their actions were being recorded, he said.

County Clerk Sherrie Riebel said she envisioned a camera with recording capabilities to capture images throughout daylong operations See CAMERAS | Page A5

‘Amazing Race’ coming to Iola

By KAYLA BANZET kayla@iolaregister.com

The Amazing Race will arrive in Iola this week, courtesy of Iola Public Library. The library will host the event, “Iola style,” Saturday.

The Amazing Race is a hit reality television show where teams of two people race around the globe and compete against other teams.

Contestants make “pit stops” in different countries and cities and complete trials.

The television series inspired the library to create a local version of the competition. Melissa Frantz, librarian assistant, said Lisa Cole, public service librarian, came up with the idea for a local race.

The race will start at 11 a.m. Saturday at the library. Just like the show, teams will leave the starting place and travel to different places.

Impending rain raises new fears

By ROXANA HEGEMAN Associated Press

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — More wet weather is on the way for drenched counties in central Kansas, where swollen rivers are raising new fears of flooding.

Heavy rains that began last week have already caused flash flooding and swamped some homes, but people are now more concerned about the next wave of storms expected

ing, tornadoes, microbursts and large hail throughout the state.

Among the places seeing the worst of the flash flooding is Hutchinson, where the National Weather Service reported 7 inches of rain fell from Saturday through Monday.

In rebuke, Obama cancels Moscow summit with Putin LOS ANGELES (AP) — In a rare diplomatic rebuke, President Barack Obama today canceled his Moscow summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The decision reflected both U.S. anger over Russia’s harboring of National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden and growing frustration within the Obama administration over what it sees as Moscow’s stubbornness on other key issues, including missile defense and human rights.

Obama will still attend the Group of 20 economic summit in St. Petersburg, Russia, but a top White House official said the president had no plans to hold oneon-one talks with Putin while there. Instead of visiting Putin in Moscow, the president will add a stop in Sweden to his early September travel itinerary.

Obama, who is traveling in California, said in an interview Tuesday that he was “disappointed� by Russia’s move to grant Snowden asylum for one year. But he said the move also reflected the “underlying challenges� the U.S. faces in dealing with Moscow. “There have been times where they slip back into Cold War thinking and a Cold War mentality,� Obama said in an interview on NBC’s “The Tonight Show.�

White House deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said Russia’s decision last week to defy the U.S. and grant Snowden temporary asylum only exacerbated an already troubled relationship. And with few signs that progress would be made during the Moscow summit on other agenda items, Rhodes said the president decided to cancel the talks.

“We’ll still work with Russia on issues where we can find common ground, but it was the unanimous view of the president and his national security team that a summit did not make sense in the current environment,� Rhodes said.

Obama’s decision to scrap talks with Putin is likely to deepen the chill in the already frosty relationship between the two leaders. They have frequently found themselves at odds on pressing international issues, most recently in Syria, where the U.S. accuses Putin of helping President Bashar Assad fund a civil war. The U.S. has also been a vocal critic of Russia’s crackdown on Kremlin critics and recently sanctioned 18 Russians for human rights violations.

For its part, Moscow has accused the U.S. of installing a missile shield in Eastern Europe

President Obama arrives at Los Angeles International Airport on Tuesday, from Arizona. He remained overnight and appeared on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.� as a deterrent against Russia, despite American assurances that the shield is not aimed at its former Cold War foe.

Putin also signed a law last year banning U.S. adoptions of Russian children, a move that was seen as retaliation

Many of us have children, and if you are a responsible parent, you will have had â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Talkâ&#x20AC;? with your child (at the appropriate time, of course). Everyone who owns a dog needs to be prepared to have â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Talkâ&#x20AC;? too, only with your vet, not your pet (and the appropriate time is when the puppy is under four months old). This series of articles is going to serve as a quick lesson on canine reproduction. (or maybe not so quick, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot to cover) Dogs will become reproductively capable between the age of 6 months and 18 months of age. When I say this, I mean that females will come into heat and be fertile, and males will be fertile and able to breed somewhere in that range. (Be aware that dogs will â&#x20AC;&#x153;humpâ&#x20AC;? even as pups and even after neutering, as this is dominance behavior, as well as sexually related. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rude but, as an owner, try not to be offended.) Breed and size of dog, as well as season of the year, will dictate whether sexual maturity happens very young or at an older age. Sexual maturity in a small breed dog will generally occur at 8 to 10 months of age, with a few individuals showing signs as early as five months of age. The AKC will not register puppies born to these very early breedings, as it is detrimental to the femaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth and overall health to have puppies so early. Large breed dogs will be significantly later in showing sexual maturity, as the body seeks to accommodate the need for physical growth before reproducing.

The arrival of sexual maturity can also be affected by the rapid increase or decrease of daylight hours, meaning heat cycling for a majority of dogs will occur during spring and fall, when day length is increasing or decreasing. In other words, if your Labrador is in a good state of nutrition at 13 months of age and it is early March, when we see daylight hours increasing, she may come into heat, when a Lab who is 13 months of age in December may wait another couple of months to cycle. This is one reason that veterinarians hesitate to delay spaying and neutering beyond 6 to 8 months of age. It is just too hard to predict exactly when the dog will mature and spaying/ neutering before the onset of sexual maturity will prevent some behavioral issues, unwanted litters of puppies, and reduce the possibility of prostate and mammary cancers as well as uterine infections, (all of these are very serious health threats) as the dog ages.

The next column will discuss when and how your adorable pup arrives at adulthood (sexual maturity).

Summer Story Hour

Taco Bell expanding test of waffle taco, breakfast NEW YORK (AP) — Taco Bell says it’s expanding its small test of waffle tacos, as it prepares to take its breakfast menu national sometime next year.

The fast-food chain says the waffle taco, which includes scrambled eggs, sausage and a side of syrup, was the top seller during breakfast hours at the five Southern California restaurants where

they were tested earlier this year. Now the company wants to see how it would fare on a bigger scale; the waffle tacos and a full breakfast menu will be expanded to about 100 restaurants in Fresno, Calif.; Omaha, Neb.; and Chattanooga, Tenn., starting Thursday.

Brian Niccol, president of Taco Bell, said the idea is partly to get a better sense of how well restaurants will be able to handle the add-

ed operational pressure from the waffle tacos.

“You only get one shot when you go with big items,” he said.

Taco Bell already offers breakfast at about 850 locations in 10 Western states and has been tinkering with new items such as the waffle taco before rolling it out to its 6,000 U.S. locations. Also being tested in the additional locations starting Thursday are a yogurt parfait and oatmeal.

Taco Bell isn’t alone in trying to serve food in different parts of the day. Since restaurant chains are already paying for fixed costs of such as rent and electricity, the thinking is that they want to ring up as many sales as possible throughout the day, not just during the busy lunch and dinner hours. In industry jargon, executives often refer to this concept as “expanding dayparts.”

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Information gap filled by papers permit anyone the wherewithal to tap into information whenever the whim strikes and a multitude of other factors have taken their toll on traditional newspapers.

But, when it comes to small town U.S.A., there is no better source of local news than the Registers of the world. They’re the only ones that care about their communities and the people who live there.

We have limitations on news-gathering resources because we are a business, but we diligently try to keep our readers informed about what is occurring in Iola, Allen County and nearby environs. We also are cognizant of keeping a historical record of our community.

The best and fastest way to find out what occurred in Iola from the mid-1800s to now is through the Register and its archives, including “The Annals of Iola and Allen County,” a daily look at the area over many years through the eyes and ears of scores of Register reporters.

Read us daily. You’ll be glad you did.

Be sure before eating fungus Are they mushrooms or toadstools that are cropping up from saturated ground and nurtured by warm, humid weather?

We ran a photo of one and identified it as a mushroom in Tuesday’s Register.

It’s a toadstool, said a reader kind enough to take time to call. Continuing, the caller said she always had been told the difference was toadstools looked — well — like toadstools and weren’t edible. Mushroom, on the other hand, may be eaten and come in many shapes and forms.

The only mushroom that most folks hereabouts are certain of is the morel, which resem-

bles a small Christmas tree. Morels show up in the spring and the window for the harvest is only a few days.

A search online found that a toadstool generally is described as an inedible or poisonous fungus with an umbrella-shaped fruiting body.

Meanwhile, some mushrooms are inedible and some do take the shape of a classic toadstool.

Before slicing off any mushroom with the intent of cooking it up to garnish grilled burgers, make absolutely sure that it is safe to eat. After all, there are a multitude of varieties of mushrooms and appearances sometimes can be deceiving.

Bezos may be Post’s salvation Maybe Jeff Bezos believes in karma.

Bibliophiles and authors often blame Amazon, the online retailer he founded, for undermining the books business. On Monday, Mr. Bezos recast himself as an old-media saviour.

The Washington Post Company announced that it is selling its flagship newspaper, along with some of its other print assets, to Mr. Bezos (himself, not Amazon) for $250 million.

The secret deal was so closely guarded that even the Washington Post’s journalists, among the best in the industry, were not aware of it. The sale ends the Graham family’s 80-year control of the paper, which began in 1933 when Eugene Meyer, a banker, bought it out of bankruptcy for $825,000.

Donald Graham, the Post Company’s current boss and Mr. Meyer’s grandson, and Katharine Weymouth, the Post’s publisher and Mr. Meyer’s great-granddaughter, had struggled to turn around the paper. Last year revenues for the Post Company’s newspaper publishing division were $582 million, down about 35 percent since 2007.

In those intervening years the mood and messaging of the Post Company changed radically. Its annual report in 2007 declared the Post to have “the best prospects of any large newspaper.” But then the recession killed advertising, and print circulation continued to decline. Its annual report for 2012 ominously declared that “faced with the loss of much of our classified advertising, the nationalization of local retail and declining readership among younger people, we

don’t have a formula for enduring profitability.”

Last year the Post lost $54 million (excluding pension contributions, it lost $11 million). In June it started charging for online content, after years of refusing to implement any kind of pay wall.

A common observation that finds its way to the Register is how many of our readers enjoy picking up a copy of the newspaper and holding it firmly in their hands as they read away. They like to get their news the oldfashioned way.

Readers also take advantage of our online edition and the social media opportunities the newspaper provides, but, many say, there’s nothing like the hardcopy (there, that’s a concession to technology), even if it means getting a few ink smudges on their fingers.

An editorial from the Economist, elsewhere on today’s opinion page, discusses the purchase of the Washington Post by Jeff Bezos, of Amazon fame.

The grand lady of journalism inside the beltway has struggled financially in recent years, a lament heard about many newspapers, from very small to the largest in the land.

News channels — really more about bluster and show business than news — that broadcast 24 hours a day, the multitude of electronic devices that

best home for the newspaper,” Mr. Graham said in a statement.

They decided instead to sell it to a man who runs a very big one.

Mr. Bezos has heaped praise on the Graham family for their “courage” in both the journalism the paper publishes and in their willingness to sell the paper. He has sweetened the deal by promising to retain the current management team, including Ms. Weymouth as publisher.

The sale also will unlock some capital for the Graham family, but their payout will be nothing like what the Bancroft family received when Rupert Murdoch bought Dow Jones, which publishes the Wall Street Journal, for $5.6 billion

Globe to John Henry, who owns the Boston Red Sox baseball team, for $70 million. They had acquired it from the Taylor family in 1993 for $1.1 billion.

Are Mr. Henry and Mr. Bezos mad to want to own newspapers? The health of the industry has been declining for some time.

Newspapers today are worth around 10 percent of what they were 10 years ago, reckons Ken Doctor, an industry analyst.

However, it may be that Mr. Bezos, who has made his billions by building a company that sells goods cheaply, thinks that years of print decline and negative sentiment about newspapers’ prospects have helped him secure his own bargain price for the Post.

Fast-food wages: Pennies on the Big Mac This summer, fast-food workers are bringing something new to the table.

In a series of one-day strikes in cities such as New York, St. Louis, and Chicago, workers have demanded a wage increase to $15 an hour, which in some cases would double their salary.

They have taken a bold step in challenging an industry that is traditionally nonunionized, and both legislators and the CEOs of major fast food chains should listen to their arguments.

The nation would be better off if fast-food workers earned a livable wage.

The fast-food industry has long staved off unionization, thereby depriving workers of a chance to bargain for better pay and benefits under federal guidelines.

Outlets such as McDonald’s and Burger King have a 75 percent annual turn-

probably won’t be resolved through collective bargaining.

An open letter, signed by more than 100 economists, states that increasing the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.50 would raise the cost of a Big Mac by only 5 cents.

A more modest hike to the minimum wage, to $9 per hour, would minimize harm to other industries, which — unlike fast food — have to contend with global competitors. For fast-food workers, a $9-per-hour wage would represent a big raise in many parts of the country.

In higher-priced districts, where restaurant owners pay more for rent, they pass on the extra costs of doing business to their customers. They should do the same with higher wages, and customers can easily cover the extra pennies on the burger.

over in employees, making them difficult to organize for union purposes.

Meanwhile, the franchise model on which these companies operate — in which stores are owned independently, but are strictly supervised by the corporation — makes large-scale negotiations complicated, as wages are set by both individual store owners and the company as a whole.

Thus, the current strikes

But they could place significant pressure on state and federal lawmakers to increase the minimum wage.

An open letter, signed by more than 100 economists, states that increasing the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.50 an hour would raise the cost of a Big Mac by only 5 cents, if McDonald’s also made slight improvements in productivity.

H Exchange ed for the summer. The first student, named Bianca Koppatz, was a 20-year-old from Austria.

She stayed with them for three weeks, just like Nozomi.

Both students were from urban areas, so the family has had the chance to show off what farm living has to offer. Nozomi, who speaks very little English, is from Kanagawa, which is just south of Tokyo.

“They really get to experience farm life,” Brock said.

The Spragues have been busy with different fair activities since Nozomi has arrived, so she has been exposed to all sorts of farm-specific activities — fishing, feeding livestock and spending time outdoors.

The program encourages students to experience everyday life for an American family, not

just tourist experiences.

THE CHILDREN, along with the parents, have had the opportunity to examine their own daily lives as well, through the eyes of a young Japanese girl.

“What we do is neat, to us it’s just life,” Stacy said.

The family agreed it has been a pleasant experience to show their way of life to their interim family member. They have learned a bit about Japanese culture as well.

“How do you say ‘hello?’” Kendra asked as she leaned over to Nozomi.

She replied, “konichiwa.”

In America, the children of a family are much more involved in daily tasks, the Spragues agreed. They said it was interesting to see Nozomi’s eyes light up when she had the chance to feed animals and help around the farm.

Stacy said in an email on Tuesday evening that they had taken her fishing — she caught the first, and largest, fish.

“Her smile told the whole story,” Stacy said.

Due to her limited English vocabulary, it was difficult for Nozomi to

It has been raining off and on in Kansas since July 21, with Wichita getting 13.4 inches from that date through Monday — the second highest amount of rain for the period since 1888, NWS meteorologist Vanessa Pearce said.

“It was not until we got to the last week of the month that many locations saw day after day of significant rainfall and then as you got into the first part of August it is like, ‘All right we have finally filled the bucket and now we have started to overflow,’ “ State Climatologist Mary Knapp said.

Winds ranging from 80 to 100 mph were reported Monday night in Pratt and Butler counties, causing extensive damage at the Shady Creek marina at El

Dorado Lake, officials said. Power outages were reported in Butler, Pratt, Harvey and Greenwood counties.

As of Tuesday morning, at least 14 Kansas counties were under a flood warning. Southcentral and southeast Kansas has flooding on the Little Arkansas River and the Arkansas River, Pearce said.

Local disaster declarations have been issued in Barton, Bourbon, Clay, Cloud, Greenwood, Harvey, McPherson, Reno and Rice counties, according to the Kansas Adjutant General’s Department.

The drought monitor update, to be issued later this week, will show the end of drought conditions in central, north-central and parts of southeast Kansas, Knapp said.

The drought persists in far western Kansas.

“A week of rain, while it is very welcome, still has a long way to go to make improvements in the western third of the state,” Knapp said.

“Are you ready to go home?” Stacy asked Nozomi.

Nozomi waited for a moment, and then just shook her head, “no.”

Stacy said the family has been in contact with Nozomi’s parents, through Facebook and email.

They have been sharing her American experiences. Nozomi will return to Japan on Aug. 18, when the Spragues return her to meet the Japanese group in Junction City. They will not forget their brief friendship, however.

Leann and Bob Adams, left, pose for portrait with their 50-year-old wedding cake topper in their Fort Worth, Texas home, July 19. The Adams were married on June 29, 1963.

Marriage a ‘piece of cake’ Couple saves cake topper for anniversary

By TERRY EVANS Fort Worth Star-Telegram

FORT WORTH, Texas — Bob and Leann Adams expected the top of their wedding cake to be a hard, nasty lump of black dough.

The last time they had seen it was at their wedding reception at North Fort Worth Baptist Church on June 29, 1963. There was just enough cake for the 250 or so guests that day, so the happy couple decided to save the top tier with its tiny bride and groom, lovely little flowers and all, wrap it in aluminum foil and put it in the freezer.

Over 50 years, the cake has been stored in three freezers in three

houses and has endured occasional defrosting during power outages and unrefrigerated transportation.

Imagine the couple’s shock when they unwrapped the cake last month and found it as beautiful as the day they wrapped it up a half-century ago.

“We were amazed,” Leann said.

The frozen cake is just one more happy memory for the Adamses, who were introduced in Sunday school. Bob says he had his eye on Leann every time he walked into the downtown Leonard Bros. store, where she worked.

She was a 16-yearold high school student and he was a 24-year-old Army veteran with a good job. It was 1961.

“I was home from the Army and working at Preston Geren Associates as an architect,” he said. “I would go to Leonard Bros. for lunch and right after work. That’s

where everyone went back then to hang out.

She worked in the jewelry department right inside the front door.”

Bob caught Leann’s eye, “because he was older, out of school and more interesting than the other boys,” she said.

After two years of dating, they wed.

Their golden anniversary was celebrated this year with an Alaskan cruise. That’s when they decided to check out the 50-year cake.

“We unwrapped it July 1,” Leann said.

“The icing in the middle was so hard I couldn’t cut it,” Bob said. “But the cake looked as fresh as if it was baked yesterday.”

The cake was rewrapped in its original foil wrapper and put back in the freezer. Neither of the Adamses was tempted to take a taste.

“We’ll save it for the next 50,” Bob said.

Yemen: Plot foiled SANAA, Yemen (AP) — A Yemeni government spokesman claims authorities have foiled a plot by al-Qaida militants aimed at taking control of two cities in the country, then storming strategic ports and bombing gas facilities.

Rageh Badi said Wednesday that the terror network planned to target the southern cities of Mukalla, the capital of Hadramawt province, and Bawzeer, then send its members

disguised in military uniform to attack two strategic oil ports.

He says other alQaida militants, meanwhile, would try to sabotage pipelines to “create panic among Yemeni army and Yemeni security services.”

The remarks come as the country is on heightened alert over fears of an al-Qaida threat that led the U.S. and Britain to evacuate their embassies in the capital, Sanaa.

N.J. drug bust made in bathroom PARSIPPANY, N.J. (AP) — A police officer who stopped at a northern New Jersey convenience store to use the bathroom instead ended up arresting a man there who allegedly was breaking up marijuana on a $100 bill.

Parsippany police tell NJ.com that officer Michael Sprung stopped at the store just after 1 a.m. Tuesday.

When he opened the bathroom door, he saw a 19-year-old Lake Hiawatha man sitting backward and fully clothed on the toilet.

The man then unsuccessfully tried to hide the marijuana behind the toilet when he saw the uniformed officer standing in the doorway.

The man is charged with drug possession.

He declined to discuss any details about what happened because the case is still playing out in courts. He said he hasn’t seen the evidence that prosecutors have, and doesn’t know why more than a dozen Sandy police officers went to Williams’ house to make the arrest.

Williams’ speakeasy was known as the “Dog Bar,” named for a bulldog painted on the garage door.

SANDY, Utah (AP) — A Utah man who police say ran a speakeasy out of his garage for years in the middle of a suburban residential neighborhood has been arrested after he sold drinks to an undercover officer.

Jared Williams, 33, of Sandy has pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor charge of running a business without a license, court records show. He was arrested on June 13 by several Sandy police officers who converged on his house.

Police had been hearing about problems in the neighborhood for some time, but finally got a specific tip about Williams’ house in May, said Sandy Police Sgt. Jon Arnold. The undercover officer went there in early June and had a drink alongside about 10 other people.

Twins rookie slows Royals’ surge

By BOB DUTTON

The Kansas City Star

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (MCT) — This was like crossing Dickens with baseball on a Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium: a mismatch that many expected but few expected. (And, really, how often do you see English Lit linked to the national pastime?)

Think that’s weak? You should have watched what the Royals mustered against rookie lefty Andrew Albers in a 7-0 loss to the Minnesota Twins.

Here was a pitching matchup — a tale of two pitchers? (yes, last one) — in which the red-hot Royals sent their ace, James Shields, out to face a 27-year-old in his majorleague debut.

And ...

Well, the Twins simply battered Shields while coasting to an easy victory behind a magnificent performance from Albers over 8⅓ innings.

He exited after yielding a single and a walk in the ninth.

Casey Fien immediately loaded the bases by walking Billy Butler before ending the game when Alex Gordon grounded into a double play.

The Royals lost for just the second time in their last 14 games.

“I know stuff like this happens,” Butler said. “Confidence isn’t going anywhere in here. You face a guy for the first time ... you’ve got to tip your hat to him. It’s his debut. He made his pitches.

“You don’t see that out of Juego (Shields) usually either. It was just a bad night.

Report: Electronic trail aided MLB

By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK (AP) — Facebook friends. Transcripts of BlackBerry instant messages. Records of texts.

Major League Baseball’s investigators used an arsenal of high-tech tools to collect the evidence that persuaded a dozen players to accept 50game suspensions this week for their ties to the Biogenesis clinic.

And when it came time to meet with the players’ association, they flashed some of their documentary proof.

While there was not enough time for the union to thoroughly examine what baseball had collected, there was little doubt there was an electronic trail, one of the people familiar with the meetings said. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no public statements were authorized.

“It both complicates things and adds a layer of proof that certainly wasn’t available many years ago,” union general counsel David Prouty said Tuesday.

Alex Rodriguez, the lone holdout against a suspension, faces an arbitration hearing in coming months that likely will include such Alex evidence. The Rodgriguez New York Yankees third baseman was suspended for 211 games from Thursday through the 2014 season, though he is allowed to play until a decision is issued by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz, which is not expected until at least November.

Until now, nearly all suspensions under MLB’s drug program resulted from positive drug tests. The Biogenesis probe revealed players were using PEDs without detection.

“To catch the most sophisticated intentional fraudsters, you have to use non-analytical means, which is another reason why baseball’s effort here is such a pivotal moment for the anti-doping fight.”

— Travis Tygart, U.S. Anti-Doping Agency

“To catch the most sophisticated intentional fraudsters, you have to use nonanalytical means, which is another reason why baseball’s effort here is such a pivotal moment for the antidoping fight,” said Travis Tygart, chief executive office of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.

MLB officials would not speak for attribution about its investigation. The league used about 30 people full time in its fact-gathering, another person familiar with the process said Tuesday, also on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized.

The probe was sparked in January when the Miami New Times published documents linking players to the clinic and accused it of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs.

Technology has evolved since 2003, when federal agents raided the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative in Burlingame, Calif., sparking an investigation that eventually led to criminal convictions of Barry Bonds, track star Marion Jones, cyclist Tammy Thomas and NFL lineman Dana Stubblefield.

And when former Sen. George Mitchell issued his report on drugs in baseball four years later, he recommended baseball start an investigations department.

Dan Mullin, a former New York City Police Officer, was hired as the unit’s head in

2008. Former U.S. Secret Service director Mark Sullivan was brought in to assist in the Biogenesis probe.

After the Miami New Times report, baseball investigators examined the Facebook pages of Bosch and Porter Fisher, the former Biogenesis associate who gave documents to the newspaper. They began to sketch out which people they were friends with, and which of those friends posted photos of athletes or mentioned athletes. Each link led to new loops that provided leads.

MLB filed a lawsuit in March against Biogenesis of America, company founder Anthony Bosch and others, complaining they interfered with the contracts between MLB and the union. The suit was unusual and may never reach trial, but it did give MLB the ability to file civil subpoenas.

Records from Florida’s Circuit Court for MiamiDade County that were examined by the AP showed subpoenas were issued to Federal Express, AT&T Mobility, T-Mobile USA, UPS and Metro PCS. At least some of those companies complied and turned over data to the probe, one of the people said.

By June, Bosch agreed to cooperate with the investigation. The person said MLB hired a data recovery company to obtain records from his mobile telephone.

When baseball officials met with the union, evidence included the BlackBerry instant message transcripts and records of text messages.

Lawyers for players believed some emails also had been recovered.

While Woods is mired in the longest major drought of his career — more than five years — he’s clearly bounced back from personal woes, a series of injuries, and major changes in his swing.

“I feel like my game’s pretty good,” Woods said.

Mickelson is playing with similar confidence, especially after claiming the claret jug.

“I’m more motivated

time he’s doing the same.

“I would love that opportunity.”

Both players are on top of their games entering the final major of the year.

Woods is coming off a seven-stroke win at the Bridgestone, his PGA Tour-leading fifth victory of the year.

Less than three weeks ago, Mickelson won the British Open with a

Mickelson is even more confident in his game when he goes against Woods.

“He brings out the best golf in me,” Lefty said. “He’s a great motivator for me. He’s helped me work hard. He’s helped me put forth the effort to try to compete at the highest level, year in and year out.”

H Secondary “

Continued from B1

Whenever we stepped on the field, we gave it all we had, no matter what our record was. But we only had two wins, so with a fresh start and fresh coach, the sky is the limit. We just have to put in the work.

— Brandon Flowers, Kansas City Chiefs cornerback

“

Stanford Routt had two, and he only played half the year before being cut. Otherwise, a handful of guys managed to get their paws on at least one pass, but that was it when it came to flustering quarterbacks.

Little surprise the Chiefs reworked their defensive backfield this offseason.

General manager John Dorsey traded cornerback Javier Arenas for a fullback, and then spent lavishly in free agency. Veteran defensive back Dunta Robinson was brought aboard, as was Sean Smith, who at 6-foot-3 offers Kansas City the kind of physical size on the perimeter to handle big receivers such as the Broncos’ Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker in the passhappy AFC West.

Now, the Chiefs’ secondary wants to be second-to-none.

“I think that John did a nice job of bringing people in,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said, “and then the guys that were here last year, I think you learn from the past and take care of business, and I think they did that.

They’re focused in.”

As opposed to last year, when everything

seemed amiss.

The Chiefs’ seven interceptions were tied with Dallas for fewest in the league — Reid’s Eagles, incidentally, were next-worst with eight.

Kansas City also finished 28th in pass deflections with 72, more than 50 behind the leagueleading Texans.

Part of that had to do with the lack of pass rush — the Chiefs only had 27 sacks, tied for 29th in the league — which meant very few poorly thrown passes. But part of it also had to do with the fact that the Chiefs were also getting blown out in most of their games, and that meant teams had no reason to be throwing the ball in the second half.

“Whenever we stepped on the field, we gave it all we had, no matter what our record was,” Flowers said. “But we only

had two wins, so with a fresh start and fresh coach, the sky is the limit. We just have to put in the work.”

As the Chiefs prepare to play their preseason opener Friday night in New Orleans, no fewer than half a dozen guys have been getting repetitions with the first-team defense in practice.

Flowers and Smith have the starting cornerback spots locked down, and Pro Bowl safety Eric Berry and three-year starter Kendrick Lewis also topped the initial depth chart. But there’s also Robinson vying for playing time in nickel and dime sets, and veterans Quintin Demps, Vince Agnew and Husain Abdullah fighting to prove something to new defensive coordinator Bob Sutton.

“There is so much situational football that’s

going on that you need to apply the situation to the defense that’s called,” said Sutton, basically promising to make use of just about everyone.

“You can’t be out there running a defense,” he said, “without an awareness of the personnel.”

Sutton has promised an attacking style of defense, one predicated on putting playmakers in positions to make plays.

So it’s become common to see Berry around the line of scrimmage with the linebackers, blitzing the quarterback or ready to stuff the run, or Smith on the line of scrimmage on the outside of the defense, ready to jam a wide receiver.

“You don’t know who’s going to blitz on any given play. We’re a very aggressive defense,” Robinson said.

“You see guys making a lot of plays out here, and I think when you come out and make plays, it gives you confidence going into Sundays and going into games.”

That aggressiveness, and that confidence, ultimately could yield more turnovers.

“If you didn’t have as many last year,” Robinsons aid, “you make it an emphasis.”

“He did a good job tonight of handling our bats, especially the way we swung it (Monday). Sometimes, those games happen. Hopefully, we’ll move on and get a win.”

This was a clunker of the first order and perhaps, as Butler suggested, it was long overdue. Their only loss in their previous 13 games came Friday in extra innings against the Mets in New York.

Still ... this was, ah, unexpected.

The Royals offered little more than token resistance against Albers, a Canadian promoted last Friday from Class AAA Rochester, where he was 9-4 with a 3.11 ERA in 22 starts.

“It was special, no question,” he said. “It’s hard to put into words, but it was special. To be able to go out and have that kind of performance in your debut, unfortunately it’s probably not going to get much better from there.

“So I’m really going to enjoy this high and really enjoy tonight.”

San Diego selected Albers in the 10th round of the 2008 draft, but he underwent Tommy John surgery the next year and was pitching in an independent league when the Twins found him in March 2011.

It all led to this.

Albers allowed a oneout single in the first to Eric Hosmer but then induced a double-play

grounder from Butler.

The Royals didn’t get another base runner until Alcides Escobar’s twoout single in the sixth.

Hosmer got another single in the eighth before Escobar opened the ninth with a single. A one-out walk to Hosmer ended Albers’ night at 109 pitches.

“He had them completely off balance all night long,” Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. “I did not want to take him out.

I thought he was out of gas there at the end.

Wow, that was fun to watch.

“Your first night in the big leagues. To do what he did against a team that’s red hot like that was pretty special for us. We needed it desperately.”

Shields has been a tough-luck pitcher for much of the season, but he entered Tuesday coming off victories in successive starts for the first time all year.

Even so, it was clear from the start that he didn’t have it.

Shields surrendered homers in the first inning to Brian Dozier and Justin Morneau, which staked Albers to a three-run lead before he threw a pitch.

The Twins added single runs in the second and fourth (on a Chris Colabello homer) before striking for two in the sixth inning. Shields’ final line showed seven runs and eight hits in 110 pitches over six innings.

Civil War exhibit features items from Border War FRANKLIN, Kan. (AP) — As a 10-year-old while growing up in Franklin, Joe Maghe read a book that changed his life.

“It was a novel about the Civil War, and I became enthralled with the chivalrous life of the cavalrymen,” he said.

Maghe’s enthusiasm for the past set him on a path to become a history teacher, but as a student at Pittsburg State University in the 1970s, he realized the field offered scant jobs.

Then 28 years ago, while on vacation in Florida, he saw a notice for a Civil War weapons show.

“I left my wife and kids in the motel and told them I’d be back soon,” Maghe said. “I ended up buying a Civil War cavalry sword, but I got into looking at some really good stuff there, and it took me a little longer than I anticipated. By the time I returned to the motel, I found my family sitting on the curb.

It was past time for us to check out.”

His wife and children were understanding, and Maghe, now of rural Riverton, has spent the nearly three decades since continuing to collect Civil War weapons and artifacts.

The former employee of the U.S. Department of Defense in St. Louis

and the U.S. Postal Service in Baxter Springs said his emphasis in both collecting and research has been on the Border War between Missouri and Kansas.

“ Collecting these items, and then sharing them with others, has really brought that history to life — Joe Maghe

Maghe also learned everything he could find about the role of immigrants in the Civil War; his father, Joseph, was the child of a Belgian immigrant. The younger Joe would grow up across the street from the town’s miners’ union hall, and as a paperboy he got to know the town’s diverse immigrant population.

“I was intrigued by their story,” he said.

The May 4, 2003, tornado destroyed his childhood home, took the life of his mother, Josephine, and level the miners’ hall. Today, a new Miners Hall Museum stands in its place. It is there that Maghe’s Civil War weapons and artifacts are part

facts for the exhibit.

Weapons on display would have been used by the men who fought along the Missouri border and in Crawford and Cherokee counties in Kansas, Maghe said.

They include a Savage revolver, sabers and several Colt revolvers of varying calibers.

There’s also a carbine short rifle that would have been used by the cavalry, Maghe said, as well as several farrier knives, binoculars, a bugle, a canteen and grapeshot used in artillery.

“A lot of times, people might not be interested in weaponry but want to know what life was like for soldiers,” Maghe said. “So we have a

Kansas briefs Kansas justice appointed to national board

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Supreme Court Chief Justice Lawton Nuss has been appointed to the board of directors of the national Conference of Chief Justices.

The appointment was made last week during the organization’s national conference on July 31 in Vermont.

Nuss was named to the Kansas Supreme Court by then-Gov. Bill Graves in 2002. He became chief justice in August 2010.

The Conference of Chief Justices is made up of the top judicial officers of each state, the District of Columbia and U.S. territories. The organization meets to develop policies and procedures to improve the operations of state judicial systems.

Kansas among fastest growing wind markets

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A new government report shows Kansas is among the largest and fastest growing wind energy markets in the country.

The Energy Department reported Tuesday that Kansas ranks third among all U.S. states in the percentage of instate electricity generation from wind power.

The state installed 1,441 megawatts of new wind power capacity in 2012, bringing its total capacity to 2,713 megawatts.

The department reported Kansas now has enough capacity to generate more than 20 percent of its electricity from wind energy.

The agency’s annual

Wind Technologies Market Report says that in 2012 wind energy became the top source of new U.S. electricity generation for the first time.

State awards $2M for rec trail projects

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas agency has awarded $2 million for development of 16 recreational trails projects, including a route through the Flint Hills region.

The grants were announced Tuesday by the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism.

The agency received applications for funds totaling more than $5 million. The goal of the program is to improve the outdoor amenities of parks and recreational offerings statewide.

The largest award was for $900,000 to the Kanza Rail-Trails Conservancy for use on the Flint Hills Nature Trail. In addition, the Kaw Nation was awarded $350,000 for the Allegawho Project south of Council Grove, while $31,000 was awarded for a B-29 bomber museum trail in Pratt.

The state trail grant program requires a 20 percent match from the local entity receiving the funding.

Forecast raises fears of more Kansas flooding

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — More wet weather is on the way for drenched Kansas counties where swollen rivers are raising new flooding fears.

began last week have already caused flash flooding over roads and swamped some homes in central Kansas. But emergency managers are now more concerned about the storms expected to begin Wednesday and stretch into the weekend.

The National Weather Service reported it has been raining off and on since July 21, with Wichita getting 13.4 inches from that date through Monday.

State climatologist Mary Knapp said the drought monitor update to be issued later this week will show the end of drought conditions in central, north-central and parts of southeast Kansas. The drought persists in far western Kansas.

Anglers find small ’gator in Kansas lake

ATCHISON, Kan. (AP) — A northeast Kansas sheriff wants to know who dumped a small alligator in a lake, where it was spotted by fishermen.

KAIR-FM reported the group of anglers made the discovery Saturday while fishing at Atchison County Lake. They alerted the lake’s caretaker, who called the sheriff ’s department.

Sheriff Jack Laurie said deputies and members of the Atchison County Humane Society caught the alligator Monday using a net, a dog kennel and other tools. The Humane Society planned to turn it over to an animal reserve called Monkey Island, near Lee’s Summit, Mo.

number of camp and personal items on display, as well.”

Those include a twist of tobacco, cutlery and cooking items, a set of playing cards, and ebony and ivory dominoes made in 1860, and perhaps the most intimate artifact: a letter written in 1864 from an encampment. It starts, “Dear wife ...”

The exhibit also includes Confederate paper money and coins, paintings and maps from the Border War, and photographs of soldiers based at Fort Blair at Baxter Springs.

Maghe, who is a past board member of the Baxter Springs Historical Society and has displayed his collection at the Baxter Springs museum, plans to have a tent set up at the Civil War encampment there in October in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the attack on Fort Blair.

Many of his items also have been or are on loan elsewhere, including “An American Turning Point,” a five-year traveling exhibit of the Virginia Historical Society.

Maghe will hold open houses to allow visitors to ask questions from 2 to 4 p.m. on Aug. 30, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Sept.

9, and from 2 to 4 p.m. on Sept. 17 at the museum.

Sinkhole draws attention SHARON SPRINGS, Kan. (AP) — A sinkhole estimated to be about 90 feet deep in western Kansas is drawing so many onlookers that the landowner is pleading for people to stay away.

The sinkhole, which is 200 to 300 feet wide, was discovered July 31 in a pasture several miles north of Sharon Springs on land owned by 82-year-old Margaret Hoss and her family.

It occurred naturally and does not appear to be the result of groundwater depletion or oil or gas drilling, said Rex Buchanan, interim director of the Kansas Geological Survey.

After the sinkhole was publicized, people drove to see it, often ignoring signs to stay off the private pasture, which prompted the Hoss family to erect barricades Monday, The Salina Journal reported. Hoss said she is concerned the traffic will damage fragile grass needed for cattle to forage.

“I’d appreciate some privacy. We’re not running a popularity contest,” said Hoss, who added state and national media coverage of the sinkhole had made “our life a livin’ hell out here.”

Wallace County Sheriff Larry Townsend said he was concerned visitors could be endangered if the sinkhole suddenly grows.

“The soil tries to level itself. It’s kind of a dangerous place to be gawking around,” Townsend said.

RECYCLE!

PBS show looks at Journey’s lead singer BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — The resurgence of Journey through the band’s discovery of a new lead singer via the Internet gets a close-up look on a new PBS documentary.

“Don’t Stop Believin’: Everyman’s Journey” airs on Sept. 30 as part of the network’s Independent Lens series.

It’s the story of how Journey guitarist Neal Schon found a replacement for front man Steve Perry by searching YouTube videos, and the band’s eventual integration of Arnel Pineda

feeling of intimidation,” he said. “I’m not even trying to compete with Mr. Perry. I’m just trying to help out. It didn’t affect me at all.”

Pineda was initially found by Schon singing Journey covers in YouTube videos. The band brought him to San Francisco to audition.

“I found some good guys, but I didn’t feel they had the strength and the power in their pipes to carry themselves over the power of our music,” Schon said.

“Arnel, I said, ‘This guy is the real deal.’”

“ We’re finding young school kids singing these songs and they weren’t raised with these songs.

into its lineup.

It wasn’t easy.

Some longtime Journey fans were initially reluctant to accept the presence of Pineda, a 45-year-old Filipino singer, into an American band that had been dominated by Perry’s presence and soaring vocals.

“We still have fans of our music showing up in the last year that don’t know Steve Perry isn’t in the band,” keyboardist Jonathan Cain told the Television Critics Association on Tuesday.

Perry was replaced for the first time in 1998.

Cain recalled doing a concert in a U.S. city that he declined to name after Pineda joined Journey in December 2007.

“It took them 30 minutes to finally wrap their heads around the fact that this guy could sing his butt off,” he said. “At the end of the show, they were all applauding Arnel’s efforts.”

Pineda perfected his English by reading English-language newspapers and using a dictionary to look up words he didn’t understand.

He wasn’t troubled by hardcore Perry fans that compared the two singers.

“I never had a slight

Cain credited Pineda for stoking new interest in the group famous for such hits as “Don’t Stop Believin’,” ‘’Faithfully” and “Open Arms.”

“He has his own style that he’s developed,” he said. “I watched this guy come from Manila as a club singer and become a rock star. We have a whole new fan base. Filipino nation is showing up at our shows.”

Journey’s older music continues to find new life on Broadway, television, movies and at sporting events.

“We’re finding young school kids singing these songs and they weren’t raised with these songs,” Schon said. “We still obviously love doing it. To rebuild this band from nothing 10 years ago was quite a feat.”

Schon and Pineda teamed to perform “Stay Awhile” as bassist Ross Valory and manager John Baruck looked on during the TCA session.

Drummer Deen Castronovo didn’t attend because of a scheduling conflict.

The band resumes its current tour on Aug. 15 in Kinder, La., and will play two sold-out dates in Chicago later this month.

Hoffman ‘surgically cured’ of cancer LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dustin Hoffman is doing well after being successfully treated for cancer.

A spokeswoman for the 75-year-old actor-director confirmed a People.com report Tuesday that says Hoffman is “feeling great and in good health” after

undergoing cancer treatment.

Publicist Jodi Gottlieb told the site that Hoffman’s cancer was detected early and “surgically cured.” She offered no other details.

Hoffman made his directorial debut last year with “Quartet.”

Black Keys guitarist accused of abuse NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(AP) — The estranged wife of Black Keys singer-guitarist Dan Auerbach accuses him of abuse in divorce filings dealing with the custody of their child.

Stephanie Ann Gonis Auerbach alleges that the unspecified abuse culminated in an incident in which she “su-

perficially” cut herself on her legs and ankles.

But Dan Auerbach said she has made two suicide attempts and that one was made in the presence of their child.

His wife denies it.

Stephanie Auerbach said in the records that she sought treatment at a residential treatment facility.

Dan Auerbach has primary custody of their child. A judge gave his estranged wife supervised visitation rights with the child, until she can show “that she is not a potential danger to the child.”

A publicist for Dan Auerbach declined to comment Tuesday.

Raising a beautiful child, the right way Dear Carolyn: We adopted a little girl, and she is very beautiful.

I have taken to heart your admonition to center praise around effort and accomplishments and not looks (although I sometimes slip; she really is cute).

My question is: What can I do about comments from people meeting her?

[Noting her beauty] is usually one of the first things out of their mouths. And she meets a lot of people; she has a way of making friends with everyone in the store/restaurant/coffee shop just because she’s so outgoing.

Is there a graceful way to demur without being rude, or do we just hope the family emphasis on character has more weight than the entire rest of the world’s comments on her looks? — Raising a Beautiful Child This is really hard, because people can’t (or won’t) help themselves, and kids do internalize messages they hear

daily.

You can send a polite message to people who say she’s beautiful by saying, “Inside and out,

Tell Me About It Carolyn Hax

thank you.” You can also be patient, because the comments directed to you as though she’s not even there will slow down as she gets older.

And you can hold onto the fact that your influence towers over that of the people she meets, at least until peers take over. That’s not to say every remark you make about her looks needs to be treated as a “slip”; you’d be overcompensating if you never said, “I think you’re beautiful.”

But if the bulk of the message is about things she controls — like her

effort, her attitude, her manners, her determination, her compassion — then her chief messenger can lay a stable foundation (inner beauty trumps outer) beneath what the world keeps implying (outer beauty rules).

Check out the work of Carol Dweck or read “Nurture Shock,” by Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman, for more on constructive praise.

Dear Carolyn: My husband’s entire family lives in one suburb of a major metro area, and it is a nice area. We recently purchased a new house in a different suburb 20 minutes away. My family lives two hours away, so a 20-minute drive didn’t seem that big of a deal to us. Plus, the trade-off of fantastic schools and close shopping centers was appealing.

However, ever since we moved, his family has been giving us a lot of grief over moving “away from everybody” to what

they call the “rich town.”

My sister-in-law actually asked me if I would still let my kids play with hers, or if I would consider it “slumming.”

Carolyn, we made this move because it was the best thing for our family, not because we think his family is a bad influence.

How can I get our relationship back on track?

— Neighborhood Ties Dismiss the badgering with a cheerful, “Oh stop,” and change the subject to a familiar, neutral one. “How’s Aunt Whosit’s whatever?”

This is about their insecurities, not your real estate, and the worst thing you could do is change your behavior or get all earnest about justifying your decision.

That would only reinforce the idea that your new house makes you different — and keep you on the hamster wheel of trying to fix their insecurities through your actions, when only their actions will do.

Granuloma annulare ugly, but harmless Dear Dr. Roach: I am 58 and have been diagnosed with granuloma annulare, which I’ve had for more than a year and a half. I have both rings (that start small, like a cigarette burn, and then get larger) and spots, which look like birthmarks. I tried changing my diet, but it didn’t have any effect. I can’t wear shorts, because they are unsightly. I am told that there is no remedy for this. I have been using a topical cream, clobetasol, which doesn’t seem to help. My research tells me that it usually goes away after two years, but I also have seen several cases where it never goes away. Please give me some good news! — D.R. Answer: The good news is that they usually do go away (50 percent within two years). They don’t turn into skin cancer and, generally, don’t cause a lot of problems other than being unsightly. Some studies have associated granuloma annulare (GA) with medical conditions such as diabetes and cancer, but it’s not clear if this is actually true.

The skin cream you are using works for

Sudoku is like a crossword puzzle, but uses numbers instead of words.

The puzzle is a box of 81 squares, subdivided into 3x3 cubes of 9 squares each. Some squares are filled in with numbers. The rest should be filled in by the puzzler. Fill in the blank squares allowing the numbers 1-9 to appear only once in every row, once in every column and once in every 3x3 box. One-star puzzles are for beginners, and the difficulty gradually increases through the week to a very challenging fivestar puzzle.

Test-tube burger George W. Bush recovering after surgery Will short on flavor LONDON (AP) — The food of the future could do with a pinch of seasoning — and maybe some cheese.

Two volunteers who took the first public bites of hamburger grown in a laboratory gave it good marks for texture but agreed there was something missing.

“I miss the salt and pepper,” said Austrian nutritionist Hanni Ruetzler. U.S. journalist Josh Schonwald confessed to a difficulty in judging a burger “without ketchup or onions or jalapenos or bacon.” Both tasters shunned the bun, lettuce and sliced tomatoes offered to them to concentrate on the flavor of the meat itself.

Mark Post, the Dutch scientist who led the team that grew the meat from cattle stem cells, regretted having served the patty without his favorite topping: aged gouda cheese.

“That would have enhanced the whole experience tremendously,” he told The Associated Press. He said he was pleased with the reviews: “It’s not perfect, but it’s a good start.”

Post, whose team at

Maastricht University in the Netherlands developed the burger over five years, hopes that making meat in labs could eventually help feed the world and fight climate change — although that goal is probably a decade or two away, at best.

“The first (lab-made) meat products are going to be very exclusive,” said Isha Datar, director of New Harvest, an international nonprofit that promotes meat alternatives.

“These burgers won’t be in Happy Meals before someone rich and famous is eating them.”

Sergey Brin, a cofounder of Google, announced that he funded the 250,000-euro ($330,000) project, saying he was motivated by a concern for animal welfare.

“We’re trying to create the first cultured beef hamburger,” he said in a videotaped message. “From there, I’m optimistic we can really scale up by leaps and bounds.”

Scientists agreed that improving the flavor probably won’t be hard.
