‘Nice little morale booster’

Judge tosses abuse charges A woman claimed that she was fondled and kissed by an Everett-area acupuncturist, but had visited a hypnotist prior to the making the allegations.

Why is it awesome? “Because it’s so fun!” he said.

Cruz came along with his parents, Joey and Jody Kraft, and sisters Kristina and Layla.

“He went through a phase when he was very excited about trains, Thomas the Tank Engine in particular,” said Joey Kraft, who works for BNSF as a conductor.

Heading through Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood, Jody Kraft points out Ray’s Boathouse restaurant to the kids. “That’s where we got married,” she said.

EVERETT — A woman’s hypnotherapy sessions have led a Snohomish County judge to throw out charges against an Everett-area acupuncturist accused of sexually abusing her.

The defense attorneys for Kuo Ching Yee filed a motion to exclude the woman’s testimony at trial after learning she’d seen a hypnotist a few weeks before she first reported that Yee had fondled and kissed her.

Seattle defense attorneys Todd Maybrown and David Allen alleged that the woman’s “supposed memories” were the product of sessions with a hypnotherapist who purports to be able to help clients remember their past lives. The hypnotherapist is not a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist and began practicing after a 10-week course, according to court documents.

Superior Court Judge Anita Farris ruled that Yee’s longtime client, 67, wouldn’t be allowed to testify because of the hypnotherapy sessions. The woman had been going to him since 1998.

There was no record that she disclosed any abuse before seeing the hypnotherapist in 2012.

The judge relied on a 30-yearold decision from the state

BNSF treats employees and their families to a ride on vintage coaches

By Chris Winters Herald Writer

EVERETT — Some companies give their employees a picnic to show their appreciation. Others hold retreats or offer other benefits.

For local employees of BNSF Railway, it was a train ride.

But not just any train: the 15 cars date from the 1950s, and are part of the railway’s executive business car fleet, normally used to entertain customers or senior staff. They include upholstered chairs in the cafe car, granite bar tops and hardwood interior paneling.

The train pulled out of Everett Station at 10:30 a.m. June 25 with 289 passengers, all employees, their families or friends, for a nearly three-hour ride down to Seattle and back along the shore of Puget Sound.

The kids were excited.

“It’s my second time. My first time I went to Olympia, the state capital,” said Mikaylah Holm, 11, who was traveling with seven family members and friends.

Each year, the railroad brings the train to one of its regions of operations, said Gus Melonas, the company’s director of public affairs.

This year is the Pacific

Northwest’s turn, and the train is visiting 12 cities, including Seattle, Auburn, Tacoma, Vancouver, Pasco, Spokane, plus stops in Idaho and Montana.

The crew on the train, including those working the club car and a souvenir shop, ride along and stay in the sleeper cars.

The last time it came to the Northwest was 10 years ago, when the train took employees up to Stevens Pass and back.

“It’s a way to recognize the dedication and hard work of our employees,” Melonas said.

For many of the kids, this was their first train ride.

“Awesome!” said Cruz Kraft, 4.

Pluto bigger than scientists thought as flyby looms

By Marcia Dunn

31,000 mph.

Mission managers said there’s only one chance in 10,000 something could go wrong, like a debilitating debris strike, this late in the game. But Stern cautioned: “We’re flying into the unknown. This is the risk we take with all kinds of exploration.”

“It sounds like science fiction, but it’s not,” Stern said as he opened a news conference at mission headquarters in Maryland.

“Tomorrow morning a United States spacecraft will fly by the Pluto system and make history.”

Discovered in 1930, Pluto is the last planet in our solar system to be explored. It was a fullfledged planet when New Horizons rocketed away in 2006, only to become demoted to dwarf status later that year.

New Horizons has already beamed back the best-ever images of Pluto and big moon Charon on the far fringes of the

Associated Press

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Little Pluto is a little bigger than anyone imagined.

On the eve of NASA’s historic flyby of Pluto, scientists announced Monday the New Horizons spacecraft has nailed the size of the faraway icy world.

Measurements by the spacecraft set to sweep past Pluto on Tuesday indicate the diameter of the dwarf planet is 1,473 miles, plus or minus 12 miles. That’s about 50 miles bigger than previous estimates in the low range.

Principal scientist Alan Stern said this means Pluto has a lower density than thought, which could mean an icier and less rocky interior.

New Horizons’ 3 billionmile, 9 ½-year journey from Cape Canaveral, Florida, culminates Tuesday morning when the spacecraft zooms within 7,767 miles of Pluto at

solar system.

“The Pluto system is enchanting in its strangeness, its alien beauty,” said Stern, a planetary scientist at Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado.

With the encounter finally at hand, it all seems surreal for the New Horizons team gathered at Johns Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Laboratory. The energy there Tuesday was described as electric.

Project manager Glen Fountain said New Horizons, at long last, is like a freight train barreling down the track, “and you’re seeing this light coming at you and you know it’s not going to stop, you can’t slow it down.”

“Of course, the light is Pluto, and we’re all excited,” Fountain said.

Three new discoveries were revealed Monday, a tantalizing sneak preview as the countdown to closest approach reached the

21-hour mark.

Besides the revised size of Pluto — still a solar system runt, not even one-fifth the size of Earth — scientists have confirmed that Pluto’s north pole is indeed icy as had been suspected. It’s packed with methane and nitrogen ice.

And traces of Pluto’s nitrogen-rich atmosphere have been found farther from the dwarf planet than anticipated. New Horizons detected lost nitrogen nearly a week ago.

As for pictures, the resolution is going to increase dramatically. Until New Horizons, the best pictures of Pluto came from the Hubble Space Telescope.

Hubble did its best from Earth orbit, but managed to produce only crude pixelated blobs of the minuscule world.

The New Horizons spacecraft is the size of a baby grand piano with a salad bowl — the dish antenna — on top. It will

Online Johns Hopkins University: http://pluto.jhuapl. edu/Participate/index. php

come closest to Pluto at 4:49 a.m. PDT Tuesday. Thirteen hours later, around 9 p.m. EDT, flight controllers will learn if everything went well. The spacecraft will have sent the confirmation signal 41/2 hours earlier; that’s the one-way, speed-oflight, data-transit time between New Horizons and Earth.

Stern expects “a little bit of drama” during closest approach, when the spacecraft is out of touch with ground controllers.

New Horizons cannot make observations and send back data at the same time, so scientists opted for maximum science during those most critical hours.

Astronomer’s ashes nearing icy world he discovered

By Marcia Dunn Associated Press

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Come Tuesday, Clyde Tombaugh will pass within 7,800 miles of the icy world he discovered 85 years ago.

His ashes are flying on NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft on humanity’s first journey to Pluto.

New Horizons also is carrying a 1991 U.S. postage stamp that’s about to become obsolete — it trumpets “Pluto Not Yet Explored” — as well as two state quarters, one representing Florida, home of the launch site, and the other Maryland, headquarters for the spacecraft

As for the 29-cent stowaway stamp, Pluto is depicted as grayish with orange flecks, an artist’s rendering based on what NASA knew about the tiny orb prior to 1991, which wasn’t much.

New Horizons’ better and better views reveal a copper-colored, icy bright world.

“No stamp has ever traveled this far!” Mark Saunders, a spokesman for the U.S. Postal Service, said in an email last week.

ELECTION 2015 | Everett City Council, Position 5

2 challenge Bader for Everett Council

By Chris Winters Herald Writer

EVERETT — Two people are challenging incumbent Scott Bader for position 5 on the Everett City Council.

Charlene Rawson has been involved in the Port Gardner neighborhood and the city’s Council of Neighborhoods. Joshua

Petersen was encouraged to run by the Snohomish County Green Party.

Bader won a special election to the council in 2012 after Councilman Drew Nielsen died in a rafting accident.

Bader said the city is on the right track under Mayor Ray Stephanson and hopes to see continued improvements.

“My main motivation in running is to continue the good stewardship of the city,” Bader said.

He said he is frustrated that the economy hasn’t rebounded quickly enough to provide the job growth and tax revenue to invest in things like the Everett Public Library’s Evergreen Branch or new parks in south Everett.

“Infrastructure, bringing in

business, it’s about keeping jobs.

Everything flows out of the jobs we have,” Bader said.

In tackling chronic homelessness in Everett, Bader said that the task force assembled by the city brought together a variety of interest groups, so he is inclined to support their plan, provided it not lose momentum.

“It’s only going to be an

effective process if we keep at it and it doesn’t become another report to put on the shelf,” he said.

Bader also advocates garnering more support from the rest of the county for initiatives that address homelessness, mental illness and drug use.

“It really is a regional problem,” See COUNCIL, Page A4

EVERETT — Undercover narcotics detectives watched Friday as the man and woman allegedly passed a glass pipe back and forth inside a car parked at an Edmonds apartment complex Friday.

They dropped their surveillance when they noticed a tiny set of hands moving from the backseat.

The detectives with the Eastside Narcotic Task Force feared for the child’s health, called dispatchers and asked for help from Edmonds police.

The car windows were halfway down, raising the possibility the 15-month-old girl was inhaling second-hand meth smoke.

Police pulled over the car in the 9500 block of Edmonds Way shortly after noon.

Both suspects allegedly admitted they had been smoking meth before they were arrested for investigation of criminal

MUKILTEO — The city is looking for a new finance director to replace Scott Morgan, whose tenure with the city lasted about a year.

Morgan left last month. “We had an amicable separation,” said Mayor Jennifer Gregerson. “I wished Mr. Morgan well.”

Morgan was being paid $105,000 a year, and received a severance package of $27,072, she said. Morgan is a retired consultant who previously worked for the city of Rancho Mirage, California, for about 20 years.

“Scott left the city on good terms,” Gregerson said, but declined to provide further details.

Morgan could not be reached for comment.

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. — Four children were grieving this weekend over their mother’s death in the July 6 collapse at the Big Four Ice Caves east of Granite Falls and holding vigil for their uncle, who lay unresponsive in a Seattle hospital bed.

Then Monday, July 13, they received unfathomable news: Their father had been shot to death late Sunday night, according to the Riverside Press-Enterprise.

In the span of a week, the children — ages 14, 12, 8 and 1 — had become orphans.

“This is a nightmare,” said Rachelle Randle, a family friend.

Randle’s 12-year-old son is close friends with one of the girls and is a classmate at Landmark Middle School in Moreno Valley.

“There’s so many of (her) friends out here that are hurting,” Randle said.San Bernardino police said the father, Adrian Martinez Cardona, 35, of Redlands, got into an argument about 10 p.m. Sunday at a bar, Lulu’s Hideout. Cardona was

No one had been arrested as of Monday afternoon, Lt. Rich Lawhead said, and no other circumstances of the shooting were immediately being released.

A person who answered the phone at Cardona’s home Monday declined to talk about him.

The grant agreements with the recipients still need to be finished. The money is part of the PUD’s Planet Power program, which supports local, small-scale solar power projects. Since 2009, it has

supported 32 projects, including 17 at schools.

New director at Edmonds Historical Museum: Caitlin Kelly, collections manager at the Edmonds Historical Museum since 2009, has been named as the museum’s new director. She replaces Peter Bojakowski who resigned in May. Kelly has lived in Edmonds since 1994.

A 1998 graduate of Holy Rosary School in Edmonds, she went on to earn her baccalaureate in history from Oglethorpe University in Atlanta. The museum is located in Edmonds’ historic 1910 Carnegie Library at 118 Fifth Ave. N. New ballfields get started: The Monroe School District has scheduled a groundbreaking

ceremony at 3:30 Tuesday for the synthetic-turf ballfields at Monroe High School.

The fields are the first major project to be built with the district’s 2015 bond dollars.

The district also received grants from Snohomish County’s tourism promotion program and the city of Monroe to complete the work. The fields are expected to be finished by fall.

he said.

Rawson draws from her activism in the Port Gardner neighborhood to advocate building up the city’s Council of Neighborhoods with more staff.

“I’ve seen a gradual disconnect between the city and the neighborhoods, especially after Drew Nielsen died,” she said.

Nielsen was also a former chairman of the council of neighborhoods.

“Plus I feel with the rising drug problems in the city, as good as the police department is, it can’t be everywhere.

Neighborhoods need to have more responsibility,” she said.

Community policing works when the city supports it, she said, but that involves encouraging the rebuilding of the block watch programs. Rawson also sees the need to provide more mental health services to help address street-level nuisances.

“I remember the Reagan era when we deconstructed the mental health safety net, and we need to rebuild it. Some of these people shouldn’t be out there,” she said.

She also advocates more support for small businesses and moving to a council partly elected by district to give neighborhoods an even stronger voice.

“The way it is right now, if you don’t have a connection or money, it’s difficult to break in,” she said.

“Anyone in the city of Everett who needs a job would be able to be placed,” he said.

This is a similar approach to eliminating homelessness and stopping a street-to-jail revolving door that costs a lot of money.

“A lot of the laws that were passed to try to make homelessness illegal in the end cost taxpayers more money,” he said.

Petersen instead wants to implement a “housing first” model in the city, made possible by restoring vacant homes with work parties to keep costs down.

“Just get the people off the street and into houses and that way they can get their lives back together,” Petersen said.

Money for these initiatives would come from restructuring the city’s revenue stream to provide services for fees, without raising taxes to bridge deficits.

Ultimately, Petersen would like to abolish the city council entirely in favor of direct democracy facilitated by technology.

“To me, the city council is an impediment to a true democratic process,” he said.

WA residents snap up U.S. State Silver Bars First strike WA State Silver Bars sealed away in only existing Vault Bricks now being handed over to Washington residents Washington – You wish you could have found these heavy bars of solid silver buried in grandpa’s old coffee cans.

But thanks to an extended deadline put in place, U.s. state silver Bars each weighing a full troy ounce of solid .999 pure fine silver sealed away in heavy Vault Bricks are being handed over free for the next 3 days to every Washington resident. this is not a misprint.

U.s. state silver Bars are being given away free to Washington residents who beat the order deadline for the sealed Vault Bricks containing six U.s. state silver Bars each weighing a full troy ounce of solid .999 pure fine silver and the United states Commemorative gallery is giving up the remaining five U.s. state silver Bars for just $57 each, that’s over one hundred and eighty-six grams of solid .999 pure fine silver.

Just a few weeks ago, nobody knew that these valuable U.s. state silver Bars locked away in the private vaults of the Lincoln treasury would be allocated to the U.s. Commemorative gallery for a limited release to Washington residents. these silver Bars bearing the state of Washington double forged proclamation are now the talk of the town and that's why everyone's trying to get them. “as Executive advisor to the Lincoln treasury, i get paid to know when there's precious metal to be had. so when i was informed that these solid U.s. state silver Bars had finally surfaced and thousands are actually being handed over free to residents of the state of Washington who beat the order deadline, i pushed for this announcement to be widely advertised. “these heavy bars are solid .999 pure fine silver and will always be a valuable precious metal which is why everyone is snapping up as many as they can before they're all gone,” said Mary Ellen Withrow, the now retired 40th treasurer of the United states of america. the former treasurer wants to make one thing very clear.

Washington residents only have three days to call the toll Free order hotlines to get the U.s. state silver Bars for free.

“Pride runs deep in Washington and we know residents can't wait to get their hands on these heavy silver Bars bearing the state of Washington double forged proclamation, but we’ve never seen anything like this before. the phone lines are ringing off the hook,” said timothy J. shissler, Executive Director of Vault operations at the private Lincoln treasury. these valuable U.s. state silver Bars are impossible to get at banks, credit unions or the government since they do not mint silver bars. in fact, they're only 1368293 being handed over to residents of

“With a free U.S. State Silver Bar being given away free to Washington residents who beat the order deadline for the sealed Vault Bricks containing a total of six U.S. State Silver Bars, nearly everyone calling is taking three and four at a time before the order deadline ends because these solid .999 pure silver State Bars struck by the Lincoln Treasury are the only known to exist.”

–Mary Ellen Withrow, retired 40th Treasurer of the United States of America

■ lOaDeD WitH Free u.S. State Silver BarS: These heavy State of Washington Vault Bricks contain the only existing U.S. State Silver

Bars bearing the State of Washington double forged proclamation. Each sealed Vault Brick contains six U.S. State Silver Bars, each bar weighing a full Troy ounce of solid .999 pure fine silver. All Washington residents taking the Vault Bricks are getting one U.S. State Silver Bar free and the U.S. Commemorative Gallery is giving up the remaining five U.S. State Silver Bars for just $57 each, that's over one hundred and eighty-six grams of solid .999 pure fine silver. No free U.S. State Silver Bars will be given away to non Washington residents.

the state of Washington who call the toll Free hotline before the deadline ends three days from today's publication date. “all the heavy silver Bars in the state of Washington Vault Bricks will soon be gone because it would be foolish for anyone to pay for a single silver bar. so Washington residents better hurry and call right now to get the sealed Vault Bricks loaded with a free U.s. state silver Bar,” said shissler. “these heavy Vault Bricks loaded with over one hundred and eighty-six grams of solid .999 pure fine silver are being released until our last remaining U.s. state silver Bars are completely gone,” shissler said. to make it fair, special toll Free overflow hotlines have been set up to ensure all residents have an equal chance to get them.

Rapid shipments to Washington residents are scheduled to begin with the first calls being accepted at precisely 8:30am today.

“We’re bracing for all the calls and doing everything we can to make sure no one gets left out, but the U.s. state silver Bars are only being given away free for the next three days or until they’re all gone, whichever comes first. For now, residents can claim the U.s. state silver Bars free just as long as they call before the order deadline ends,” confirmed shissler. “thousands of Washington residents are expected to call because it just doesn't make any sense to let non Washington residents get these heavy silver Bars before Washington residents do. so if lines are busy keep trying, all calls will be answered,” said shissler. ■

Pentagon looks at transgender ban Defense chief says the policy is outdated and orders a study to determine if it should end.

By Lolita C. Baldor Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon’s current regulations banning transgender people from serving in the military are outdated, Defense Secretary Ash Carter said Monday, ordering a six-month study aimed at formally ending one of the last gender- or sexuality-based barriers to military service.

Carter said he is creating a working group that will review the policies and determine if lifting the ban would have any impact on the military’s ability to be ready for battle. But he said the group will begin with the presumption that transgender people should be able to serve openly “without adverse impact on military effectiveness and readiness, unless and except where objective, practical impediments are identified.”

The plan, which was first reported by The Associated Press, gives the services time to methodically work through the legal, medical and administrative issues and develop training to ease any transition, and senior leaders believed six months would be sufficient.

“The Defense Department’s current regulations regarding transgender service members are outdated and are causing uncertainty that distracts commanders from our core missions,” Carter said in a statement released Monday.

“At a time when our troops have learned from experience that the most important qualification for service members should be whether they’re able and willing to do their job, our officers and enlisted personnel are faced with certain rules that tell them the opposite.”

Carter asked his personnel

Army Pvt. Chelsea Manning, then-Pfc. Bradley Manning, is escorted from a courthouse in Fort Meade, Maryland, on June 5, 2013.

Manning, a convicted national security leaker, requested hormone therapy and other treatment while in prison, and the Army approved the hormone therapy under pressure from a lawsuit.

undersecretary, Brad Carson, to lead the working group of senior military and civilian leaders to take an objective look at the issue, including the costs, and determine whether it would create any insurmountable problems that could derail the plan. The group would also develop uniform guidelines.

During the six months, transgender individuals would still not be able to join the military, but any decisions to force out those already serving would be referred to Carson. One senior official said the goal was to

avoid forcing any transgender service members to leave during that time. That official was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Some of the key concerns involved in the repeal of the ban include whether the military would conduct or pay for the medical costs of surgeries and other treatment associated with any gender transition, as well as which physical training or testing standards transgender individuals would be required to meet

during different stages of their transition.

Officials said the military also wants time to tackle questions about where transgender troops would be housed, what uniforms they would wear, what berthing they would have on ships, which bathrooms they would use and whether their presence would affect the ability of small units to work well together. The military has dealt with many similar questions as it integrated the ranks by race, gender and sexual orientation.

Transgender people — those who identify with a different gender than they were born with and sometimes take hormone treatments or have surgery to develop the physical characteristics of their preferred gender — are banned from military service.

But studies and other surveys have estimated that as many as 15,000 transgender people serve in the active-duty military and the reserves, often in secret but in many cases with the knowledge of their unit commander or peers.

“Obviously this isn’t finished, but Secretary Carter’s clear statement of intent means that transgender service members should and will be treated with the same dignity as other service members,” said Allyson Robinson, Army veteran and policy director for an association of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender military personnel called Service Members, Partners and Allies for Respect and Tolerance for All, or SPARTA. Officials familiar with the Pentagon meetings said the chiefs of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force did not express opposition to lifting the ban.

Instead, they said the military leaders asked for time to figure out health care, housing and other questions and also to provide information and training to the troops to ensure a smooth transition.

U.S. agents knew of ‘El Chapo’ escape plots

By Alicia A. Caldwell Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The weekend disappearance of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman from a maximum security prison should have come as little surprise to Mexican authorities: The Drug Enforcement Administration had alerted them 16 months ago about several plans to escape.

Mexico’s most notorious drug trafficker began plotting to break out almost immediately after his recapture at a seaside resort in February 2014. Internal DEA documents obtained by The Associated Press revealed that drug agents first got information in March 2014 that various Guzman family members and drug-world associates were considering “potential operations to free Guzman.”

Mexican federal government officials did not respond to requests for comment about the earlier escape schemes.

Since the 1990s, his violent and powerful cartel has been known for digging sophisticated smuggling tunnels under the U.S. border with Mexico.

Guzman was first arrested in 1993 but escaped in Jalisco from one of Mexico’s top-security prisons in January 2001, allegedly by hiding in a laundry basket. He evaded capture in early February 2014 through an elaborate network of tunnels that connected multiple safe houses in Culiacan, in his home state of Sinaloa, and was arrested a month later.

Jim Dinkins, the former head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations unit said that Guzman’s history of tunneling makes Saturday’s escape “really ingenious.” The sophisticated tunnel described

by Mexican authorities would

Authorities investigate a half-built house near the Altiplano Maximum Security Prison In Almoloya on Monday.

usually take about a year and half to two years to complete, Dinkins said, suggesting it was started almost immediately after Guzman’s arrest in 2014.

The DEA documents obtained by the AP do not include details of how the previous escape plots would be carried out. In them, Guzman is identified as Guzman-Loera.

DEA agents did not have information about Saturday night’s plan, when Guzman escaped through a tunnel in his prison cell’s shower area, allegedly built without the detection of authorities. It allowed Guzman to do what Mexican officials promised would never happen after his recapture last year — slip out of one of the country’s most secure penitentiaries for the second time.

A widespread manhunt that included highway checkpoints, stepped up border security and closure of an international airport failed to turn up any trace of Guzman by Monday, more than 24 hours after he got away.

The White House said Monday U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch spoke with Mexico’s attorney general the day

after the escape was discovered. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the U.S. government has offered its full support to Mexico. He pointed out that Guzman also has been charged with serious crimes in the U.S. State Department spokesman John Kirby said Guzman’s “swift recapture by Mexican authorities is a priority for both Mexican and US governments.

The documents revealed that in March 2014, agents in Los Angeles reported a possible escape operation funded

by Rafael Caro-Quintero, who helped orchestrate the 1985 kidnapping and murder of DEA agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena. That plot involved threatening or bribing prison officials. The same investigation revealed four months later that Guzman’s son had sent a team of lawyers and military counter-intelligence personnel to design a break-out plan.

In December of that year, agents in the DEA’s Houston Field Division reported that a Mexican army general stated “that a deal was in place to release both Guzman-Loera

and imprisoned Los Zetas Cartel leader Miguel Angel ‘Z-40’ Tevino-Morales.”

Widely considered the world’s richest and most powerful drug trafficker before his capture last year, Guzman slipped down a shaft from his prison cell’s shower area late Saturday and disappeared into a sophisticated mile-long tunnel with ventilation, lighting and a motorcycle apparently used to move dirt.

Guzman’s arrest in 2014 was considered a crowning achievement of Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto’s government in its war against drug cartels.

“All the accolades that Mexico has received in their counterdrug efforts will be erased by this one event” if Guzman is not recaptured, said Michael S. Vigil, a retired U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration chief of international operations.

Along with the 2014 escape plans, the DEA documents reveal that Guzman was still directing facets of his drug empire.

“Despite being imprisoned in a ‘high security’ facility, DEA reporting further indicates Guzman-Loera was able to provide direction to his son and other cartel members via the attorneys who visited (him) in prison and possibly through the use of a cellphone provided ... by corrupt prison guards,” the documents stated.

Following Guzman’s capture, according to the documents, his son, Ivan Guzman-Salazar, became “the de facto leader of the Guzman branch of the Sinaloa Cartel.”

Guzman’s “right-hand man, Damaso Lopez-Nunez” took over one of the four major trafficking organizations that operated under the auspices of the larger Sinaloa Cartel.

NYC to pay $5.9M for chokehold death NEW YORK — New York City reached a settlement Monday with the family of Eric Garner for $5.9 million, almost a year after the 43-year-old died in police custody.

Garner was stopped July 17 for selling loose, untaxed cigarettes. A video shot by an onlooker shows Garner telling the officers to leave him alone and refusing to be handcuffed. Garner is taken to the ground in what appears to be a chokehold, banned by police policy.

The officer, Daniel Pantaleo, says it was a legal takedown maneuver.

Garner was pronounced dead later at a hospital. The city medical examiner found that the chokehold contributed to the death. But a grand jury on Staten Island declined to indict the officer.

S.C.: Jail clerical error A jail clerk made a mistake when entering information about a drug arrest for church shooting suspect Dylann Roof, the first in a series of missteps that allowed Roof to purchase a gun he shouldn’t have been able to buy two months before the attack, authorities said. Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon said the jail discovered mistakes two days after Roof’s arrest, but the change wasn’t corrected in the state police database of arrests. So when a FBI examiner pulled Roof’s records in April, she called the wrong agency, and Roof was eventually allowed to buy the .45-caliber handgun that would be used in the June 17 shooting at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, authorities said.

Wis.: Walker enters race Gov. Scott Walker announced on social media Monday morning that he’s running for president. Walker, a Republican, built a national profile largely due to his clashes with labor unions.

He enacted policies weakening their political power and became the first governor in U.S. history to defeat a recall election. Walker cut income and corporate taxes by nearly $2 billion, lowered property taxes, legalized the carrying of concealed weapons, made abortions more difficult to obtain, required photo identification when voting and made Wisconsin a right-to-work state.

D.C.: Obama commutations President Barack Obama cut the prison sentences of 46 non-violent drug offenders Monday, including 14 who were sentenced to life in prison, saying “their punishments didn’t fit the crime.” Obama has now issued 89 commutations during his presidency, most of them to non-violent offenders sentenced for drug crimes. A commutation leaves the conviction in place, but reduces the punishment.

Conn.: 50 Cent bankruptcy 50 Cent filed for federal bankruptcy protection in Hartford on Monday, days after a jury ordered him to pay $5 million in an invasion-of-privacy lawsuit.

The filing by the rapper-actor, whose real name is Curtis Jackson III, lists both the assets and liabilities for the “Get Rich or Die Tryin”’ performer as between $10 million and $50 million and indicates his debts are primarily consumer and not business related.

AROUND THE WORLD Ireland: Parade violence At least 10 police officers were injured in nighttime Belfast riots after the British territory’s main Protestant brotherhood was blocked from marching past a Catholic district. When the officers blocked the Orange Order parade from passing Ardoyne, masked men and teenagers in the Protestant mob tried to break through police lines, but they were forced back by officers.

At a Catholic counterdemonstration in Ardoyne, a motorist appeared to drive his car deliberately into the crowd, striking and injuring a 16-year-old girl who was pinned under a wheel of the car.

Police arrested the driver.

Dubai: Fire engulfs ships Fire trucks and boats rushed to contain a blaze that broke out Monday aboard three cargo vessels docked alongside the main waterway that runs through the heart of Dubai. The fire sent smoke billowing above the commercial hub’s Deira district, home to hotels, office buildings and gold and spice bazaars popular with tourists.

Greece, creditors reach a deal

By John-Thor Dahlburg and Pan Pylas Associated Press

BRUSSELS — After grueling, often angry negotiations that tested the limits of European unity, Greece struck a preliminary rescue deal with its creditors Monday that should avert an imminent financial catastrophe but also guarantees years more hardship and sacrifice for its people.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras flew home to sell the bailout plan to skeptical lawmakers and political allies, some of whom accused him of selling Greece out. Panos Kammenos, leader of the junior partner in Tsipras’ coalition government, denounced the deal as a German-led “coup.”

“This deal introduced many new issues ... we cannot agree with it,” he said after meeting with Tsipras.

Other Greeks rallied Monday night before Parliament in Athens, urging lawmakers to reject the new demands.

To close the deal with his partners in the euro currency, Tsipras had to consent to a raft of austerity measures, including sales tax hikes and pension and labor reforms — measures he had campaigned vociferously against over the last five years of Greece’s financial crisis.

Since his election in January, the youthful Tsipras has faced intense pressure to backpedal on many of his promises to Greece’s exhausted electorate. Finally, faced Sunday by the leaders of the 18 other nations that share the euro and the knowledge that Greek banks were just days from running out of money, the moment came when he couldn’t resist any more.

A series of supposed red lines vanished, including objections to tight international oversight of Greece’s economy, continued involvement by the International Monetary Fund in Greece’s bailout program and cuts to pensions.

The result of marathon negotiations emerged Monday: about 85 billion euros ($95.1 billion) in loans and financial support for

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras speaks with the media after a meeting of eurozone heads of state in Brussels on Monday. The summit leaders reached a tentative agreement with Greece on Monday for a bailout program that includes “serious reforms” and aid.

PETROS GIANNAKOURIS / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Anti-austerity protesters hold a Greek flag during a rally against the government’s agreement with its creditors in front of the tomb of the unknown soldier in Athens on Monday.

Greece over three years that will preserve its membership in the euro, shore up its banks and allow a modicum of stability to return to the battered Greek economy.

Creditors have also dangled the carrot of a possible future debt restructuring in the event of a smooth bailout.

“We managed to avoid the most extreme measures,” Tsipras said.

But in many cases, ordinary Greeks now face tougher measures than those they voted down in a nationwide referendum a

little over a week ago.

Syriza’s Left Platform, a group of traditionalists in Tsipras’ own party, swiftly denounced the agreement as the “worst deal possible ... (one) that maintains the country’s status: a debt colony under a German-run European Union.”

Financial experts themselves were divided over the result.

“It was the best deal the Greeks could get,” says Jacob Kirkegaard, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. “They did not do too

badly given the terrible, terrible, disastrous starting point the current government put them in.”

But Ashoka Mody, visiting professor of international finance at Princeton University, says the deal just repeats policies that have already failed.

“The economics of this program have been set up for failure,” he told The Associated Press.

“In three years, if this program is implemented, the Greek economy will be 10 percent smaller than it was and the debt burden will be higher.”

In many ways, Tsipras’ hard work begins now. As part of the deal, his government has to get the Greek Parliament to back a series of economic measures by Wednesday that creditors are demanding. And in the weeks to come, Greece will have to make further changes to its economy, such as opening to competition industries like energy that have long been protected.

“Trust needs to be rebuilt,” said German Chancellor Angela Merkel, adding that with the deal “Greece has a chance to return to the path of growth.”

Passage of the new measures appears assured, since Greece’s opposition parties have pledged to support Tsipras’ deal. But dissent within the ruling Syriza party is threatening his coalition, raising the prospect of some sort of national unity government or an early election later this year.

Greece needs another bailout, its third in five years, to cope with its mountain of debt and get its economy back on track after a sixyear retreat that evokes memories of the 1930s’ Great Depression in the U.S. The Greek economy has been pushed to the brink of collapse — banks have been shut down for two weeks, capital controls limit withdrawals to a paltry 60 euros ($67) per day and normal business has almost ground to a halt.

When the Greek banks eventually reopen, they will most likely have to depend on more emergency credit from the European Central Bank.

Nintendo’s innovative leader dies at 55

TOKYO — Satoru Iwata, who led Japanese video game company Nintendo Co. through years of growth with its Pokemon and Super Mario franchises, has died after a lengthy illness, drawing a flood of emotional tributes from game fans and industry rivals, the company said Monday. He was 55.

It said Iwata died Saturday of a bile duct tumor.

There was a torrent of sorrow online for Iwata as a person dedicated to entertaining others. On Twitter, fans thanked him for childhood memories and for bringing families together. On some Internet sites, an image of the flag in the Super Mario game was flying at half-staff. Nintendo America announced it was suspending social media activity for the day in remembrance of Iwata.

“He didn’t just create technology. He created a whole culture,” said Nobuyuki Hayashi, a consultant and technology expert. “It wasn’t just a consumer product that he had delivered. He brought to people something that’s eternal, what people remember from when they were kids. He was special.”

Until the recent shift in strategy, company officials including Iwata had repeatedly rejected the idea of developing games for mobile devices, a market that they brushed off for years as irrelevant.

In March, Nintendo announced an alliance with Japanese mobile game company DeNA Co. to develop games for mobile devices.

Nintendo pioneered game machines since the 1980s, developing one of the first machines and the hit Game Boy hand-held device.

Its main rivals in the business are Sony Corp. with its PlayStation machines and Microsoft Corp. with the Xbox One. Both companies have done better in adapting to the era of online and mobile games.

IN OUR VIEW | Grizzlies and ice caves

Respecting nature and its risks Two recent events have raised the issue of the risks we take when we enter forests, wilderness and state and national parks.

The National Park Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recently released public comments on a proposal to reintroduce grizzly bears into the North Cascades Ecosystem, a 2.6 million-acre swath of land spreading from I-90 north and extending into Canada. The bears once numbered in the thousands in the region, but only one confirmed sighting has been made of a grizzly in the last decade. About 20 are estimated to live within the ecosystem north of the U.S.Canadian border.

Of about 2,900 public comments forwarded to the agencies, about 1,400 were supportive of the proposal. A smaller number of comments, 285, were critical of the plan, many citing the potential for increased risk to humans from bear attacks, reported a July 6 article by The Herald’s

Amy Nile.

Also this month, a California woman was killed and five other visitors injured when chunks of ice from the Big Four ice caves near Verlot collapsed while they were inside the cave. While the danger of falling ice at the caves is constant, the threat has increased this summer as warmer-thanseasonal temperatures began melting the snow earlier this spring than is typical. A story in The Herald in early May warned of the danger even then.

And the threat is present even for those who observe the warnings not to enter the caves. In late July 2010, a large block of ice slid down the snowfield and struck Grace Tam, a 11-year-old visiting the ice caves with her family. The girl was sitting about 20 feet from the glacier when she was struck. She did not survive her injuries.

Whether it’s after a tragedy or before undertaking something with the potential to increase risk, threats to

safety have to be considered, but that consideration has to weigh the actual risks — and not fears — against other considerations, including the value of access to nature and the environmental benefits of restoring wildlife populations.

Restoring grizzlies to the North Cascades could enhance the populations of other wildlife, a process known as trophic cascade, in which predators act as a control for their prey, enhancing survival for other species below them in the food web.

The U.S. Forest Service has temporarily closed access to Big Four following the loss of life there, but permanently closing off access to the ice caves, or dynamiting them each spring to reduce the hazard (an option considered and rejected in 1996), would limit the ability to appreciate what is one of the more accessible glaciers in the Northwest.

Grizzlies and ice caves are dangerous. The threat is real.

But it’s a manageable threat.

The Greater Yellowstone

Ecosystem in Wyoming and Montana, which supports about 590 grizzly bears, had two fatal grizzly attacks in 2011, but Yellowstone’s last fatal attack prior to that was in 1984. Visitors in bear country can take a range of precautions, including traveling in groups and carrying bear spray. And the ice caves can be enjoyed from a safe distance, with visitors always on the alert.

Visitors to parks and forests face a far greater risk of injury and death from motor vehicle accidents on their way to and from the outdoors than they to do from anything else once they get out of their cars.

After the death of Grace Tam, her family placed a plaque near the Big Four glacier’s ice caves in her memory but also with a gracious request: “The Tam family wants you to be aware that this is a beautiful but always changing environment. They hope that you enjoy the ice caves and Big Four Mountain only from a distance.”

healthy, why consume the processed foods, that the article describes as lacking in vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. Why try to get vitamins and minerals, such as calcium, from processed grains, including wheat? Eat fresh vegetables and fruit. You know, that stuff that you’ll find in the produce section or, better yet, at your local farmers market. And speaking of fiber, by far the best sources of fiber are fruits and vegetables.

is gone! What a great sport to watch disappear … like the carrier pigeon.

I feel so fortunate that I lived in the heyday of steelhead fishing. I’m also very convinced that with the new ideas of the Department of Fish and Wildlife, that my grandchildren will never see plentiful fish in the water as I did. What a sorry, sad situation! Makes me sick.

‘Gene bank’ idea won’t save fish Regarding the editorial, “Saving state’s wild steelhead”: I’m tired of hearing about the gene idea; makes me want to puke! We have fish on both sides of us (Canada and Oregon); they must have a bunch of different college brains than Washington has. If there are no hatchery fish to feed your protected fish predators, what are they going to eat? Wild fish! We end up with less wilds then we have now. I guess that’s the only way the resources will improve. Starve the predators out, all of them from the 1-pound kingfisher to the 2,000-pound sea lion and in-between. Of course the steelhead will suffer also.

In the past I have caught 100 steelhead a winter! Young fishermen think I’m a crazy old man. In those days 80 percent were hatchery fish. I say “not now”! You’re going to fart around till the resource

Bush comment risks a label of Romney Redux

J

eb Bush ought to be running away with the Republican nomination. He isn’t, and his persona as a national candidate looks increasingly — how shall I put this? — Romneyesque.

Bush is supposed to be the safe, establishment-approved choice, which is where the Republican Party usually turns. He and his allied super PAC have raised a phenomenal $114 million thus EUGENE ROBINSON far. The hot mess that is Donald Trump ought to be sending GOP primary voters toward Bush’s column in droves. But the scion-in-waiting hasn’t consolidated the establishment’s support.

Instead, Bush made news for announcing an economic strategy that sounded straight from the Mitt Romney playbook.

He told the New Hampshire Union Leader that “people need to work longer hours and, through their productivity, gain more income for their families.”

Simple as that, beleaguered American middle-class proles: You’re slacking.

The echo of Romney’s infamous “47 percent” remark was unmistakable. Bush seemed to blame those struggling in these unsettled economic times for their own predicament. Coming from a man who was born into great wealth and privilege, it was tone-deaf to say the least.

Politically, Bush’s pronouncement was the equivalent of a hanging curveball over the fat part of the plate. Hillary Clinton couldn’t have missed it if she tried.

“Well, he must not have met very many American workers,” the likely Democratic nominee said Monday in a speech outlining her economic policy. “Let him tell that to the nurse who stands on her feet all day, or the teacher who is in that classroom, or the trucker who drives all night. Let him tell that to the fast-food workers marching in the streets for better pay. They don’t need a lecture. They need a raise.”

Bush’s supporters claimed that what the candidate meant to say had to do with the millions of men and women who would like to have full-time jobs but are settling for part-time work — and also the millions who have dropped out of the workforce altogether. But why, then, didn’t he speak of the need to create better jobs for the underemployed? Why did he approach the problem from the opposite angle by blaming the workers for their plight?

There are two possible explanations.

One is that Bush, like his father and brother, clearly has a troubled relationship with proper syntax. He may never match George Bush the Younger’s classic mangling of the language, but Jeb appears to have the potential, at least, to match George Bush the Elder for linguistic pratfalls.

When he was reacting to Trump’s antiMexican screeds, Bush tried to warn that the Republican Party could not succeed by appearing to be angry and negative all the time rather than sunny and positive. But he couldn’t find some elusive synonym for anger and instead went “grr,” thus creating one of the campaign’s most entertaining sound bites to date.

So maybe the “work longer hours” line was simply the kind of clumsy misstatement that Bush’s aides will spend a lot of time and effort cleaning up in the coming months. But maybe — and this is the other explanation for the remarks — it’s what he really believes.

If any Republican is going to win the White House, I’m confident it won’t be by scolding the middle class for its shortcomings. It is clear that Americans have no problem electing wealthy candidates. But in the 2012 campaign, Romney inadvertently helped define himself, accurately or not, as a rich man who held the less fortunate in contempt. People don’t like that so much.

With Trump (speaking of contemptuous rich men) now drawing the support of up to 13 percewnt of Republicans in recent polls, you would think the saner factions of the party would be coalescing around an alternative. But they’re still shopping. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who formally entered the race Monday, is about to have his day in the sun. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida is still polling well.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Texas governor Rick Perry and political neophyte Carly Fiorina all have significant establishment support.

All this suggests to me that the GOP mainstream, determined to avoid Romney Redux, hasn’t made up its mind yet about Bush. As his brother once said, “Fool me once, shame on, shame on you.

Fool me — you can’t get fooled again!”

Railway: ‘Where grandpa hangs out’

Charges

From Page A1

In the Balmer Yard in Seattle’s Interbay neighborhood, where the train reversed direction, Herb Alexander, of Shoreline, pointed out cars to his grandson, Thomas, 3.

“That’s a C6 hopper,” Alexander said. Then, heading by a yard building, “that’s where grandpa hangs out.”

Asked whether Thomas was enjoying himself, the boy shook his head. But when the train rolls alongside a train of auto carriers parked on a siding, he’s rapt.

“I see a car! How do they come out?”

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the merger of the Burlington Northern and the Santa Fe railways, and it is also the 20th year the “Employee Appreciation Special” has been offered.

Prior to the merger, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway used to offer occasional employee train rides, but the Burlington Northern only picked up the practice after the merger, Melonas said.

Supreme Court that strictly limits testimony from people who have been hypnotized.

“A hypnotic state produces hypersuggestability and hypercompliance in the subject, making the subject prone to sheer fantasy, willful lies, or a mixture of facts with gaps filled in by fantasy,” Farris quoted from the upper court’s ruling.

The judge wrote that Snohomish County deputy prosecutors didn’t present any experts or literature “to suggest that testimony following hypnosis is considered any more reliable or less dangerous than it was 30 years ago.”

Earlier this month, Farris dismissed three indecent liberties charges against Yee, 80.

Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Andrew Alsdorf said he was disappointed that the woman “won’t have her day in court.”

He was “prepared to present testimony from multiple women who experienced very similar abuse from (Yee) in the early 1990s. Unfortunately, the law regarding previously hypnotized witnesses is very strict and carries consequences this victim never could have predicted when she sought hypnotherapy,” Alsdorf said.

He had argued that woman’s allegations were not the product of her hypnosis. She didn’t seek out hypnotherapy to induce memories of her interactions with the acupuncturist. She didn’t mention the abuse during the hypnotherapy sessions, Alsdorf said.

In her ruling, Farris said there is no way to

wondered why the tolling equipment can’t recognize a motorcycle from a Mack truck.

The photo equipment the state uses isn’t good enough to do that, said Ethan Bergerson, a WSDOT spokesperson. Even if the state invested in upgraded equipment, operational costs also would go up, he added.

“About 15 percent of license plate photos must be manually reviewed,” Bergerson said. “The manual review rate would

increase if we identified exempt vehicles, like motorcycles, because of varying size and inconsistent mounting.”

By comparison, the system reads vehicles with transponders at a 99.9 percent accuracy rate, he said.

“We know that these aren’t easy changes for everyone to make, but this group of drivers in particular will experience the benefits of the reliable trip on I-405 express toll lanes,” Bergerson said.

know what was said in the sessions because the hypnotherapist didn’t record them and didn’t take detailed notes.

Further, prosecutors couldn’t prove that the woman’s testimony would be solely prehypnotic memories. She didn’t report the allegations before she was hypnotized and there is no detailed record of what she remembered before she was underwent hypnosis, Farris wrote.

“The testimony of the hypnotist in this case that she can take clients back to the womb and past lives demonstrates that hypnosis continues to be an uncontrolled, unregulated, and unreliable practice,” Farris wrote.

Yee, of Mercer Island, has faced allegations of sex abuse in the past. Between 1990 and 1992, the state Department of Health investigated reports that Yee had inappropriately touched female patients, asked them about their sex lives and engaged in other unwelcome conduct. King County prosecutors declined to file any charges.

Yee kept his license after entering a 1992 agreement with state regulators.

Among other conditions, he sought a sexual deviancy evaluation and agreed to only treat female patients in the presence of a woman who could monitor his conduct.

At the time of the recent allegations, Yee had a monitor on staff but the woman was not always present when he was treating patients.

The state Department of Health opened a new investigation in 2014 after Yee was charged in Snohomish County. The department has issued charges against Yee. A licensing hearing is scheduled for later this month. Yee’s license has since expired.

Facelift for baby grand In conjunction with the city’s Street Tunes program, Everett Transit graphic artist Kimberly Williams is painting a piano at Everett Station

Kimberly Williams paints the grand piano in the lobby on the Everett Station for the upcoming Street Tunes. Williams, a graphic artist for Everett Transit, is volunteering her time and skill for the annual art event.

tep into the lobby of Everett Station and there she is, gracefully stroking the baby grand piano ... with a paintbrush.

Sure, you’ve seen lots of people playing the piano. But painting one?

What’s up with that?

For the rest of July, you can catch Kimberly Williams painting the baby grand for Street Tunes, a summer tradition with public pianos throughout downtown Everett. In August, it’s your turn to have at it. You can play chopsticks or whatever tune turns you on.

A piano is a unique canvas for Williams, 30, a graphic designer who does bus decals, signage and schedule books for Everett Transit.

The baby grand joins the fleet of pianos, most of which were painted in previous years in bright colors, patterns and animal prints, then kept in storage.

When Williams saw the newly acquired black grand in the station’s lobby, she knew at first sight it had to be white and that she wanted to be the one to paint it.

“I am over here often working with the staff. I thought, ‘Ooh, I know exactly what I’m going to do with it,’ ” she said. “I feel connected to the station through my day job. It’s energizing. I like to fill space in beautiful ways, and it is a beautiful space here at Everett

Carol Thomas, the city’s cultural arts manager, said the train station is one of 18 sites that will have pianos for people to play.

“We always have a piano

As a city employee, Williams is doing the project unpaid and on her own time. “Other artists are paid a stipend,” Thomas said.

Williams spent four weekends prepping the piano before starting the blue floral pattern covering the lid.

She applies the blue paint straight on. No stencil. A fabric swatch is her guidance.

Providence needs you to help break hula hoop record Herald staff Can you hold your own when it comes to hula hooping?

Well, even if you can’t, your services are requested to set a Guinness World Record.

The Providence Institute for a Healthier Community is seeking 600 participants to help break the world record for the largest hula hoop routine July 26 at Everett Memorial Stadium.

Participants will be asked to do a simple 2 1⁄2-minute routine that Providence says can be performed by anyone — no hula hoop experience

necessary. The routine consists of basic moves like marching in place, lunges and squats — all while holding a hula hoop.

Hula hoops will be provided and participants will be able to keep their free hula hoop or donate it.

Registered hula hoopers must be at least 8 years old, and check-in and set up starts at 1:30 p.m. There will be three group practice sessions before the record attempt.

INSIDE: Carolyn Hax, 2

he catastrophic Big Four Ice Caves accident last week makes us all wonder: Why would an intelligent person venture into the caves?

The scary signs that surround the caves are designed to remind visitors that there is serious danger inside. In this most recent fatality, ice had been falling in the day before the tragic accident.

So, why do adults take potentially fatal risks?

How do adults conduct “risk analysis” in their everyday lives?

Daily, individuals take measured risks — driving in a car, taking an airplane flight, playing a sport, going on a hike or going for a swim. Anything can happen.

Some adults take on riskier activities: climbing Mount Rainier, skydiving, rock climbing.

Then there are other risky behaviors, including binge drinking, unprotected sex, riding a bike without a helmet, drinking while driving, smoking, not wearing a seat belt, racing cars, and so on.

Interestingly, researchers find that adults are more conservative with their loved ones than they are with themselves. It’s easy to be objective when you are considering a potential risk for a friend or family member. Of course, drinking while driving is a huge mistake. Naturally, riding a bicycle without a helmet is ill-advised. Yet the same person may make a decision to do just the opposite of what they would recommend for others.

Some folks are overly optimistic. Perhaps they have been fortunate and have had few accidents in their lives. They may think, without really thinking about it, that bad things won’t happen to them. This can lead them into making a poor decision.

Other individuals are by nature impulsive; they act first and think later. Adolescents have packaged this trait. But then again, their brains are still developing while ours are fully matured. Impulsive adults are swayed by their momentary emotions to make a decision that they may later regret. These folks often struggle with the consequences of impulsive decision-making throughout their lives.

Their more cautious counterparts can act impulsively too.

They may become frustrated by their own careful temperament and throw their restraint to the winds.

Even steady individuals can be swayed by the actions of others.

A skier at Mount Baker watches another skier take off into the woods. All of a sudden, a risky course of action seems less so.

Another hiker scrambles up a rock face to take a shortcut. Why not follow him? A friend has one more drink. Why not join her?

We are “pack animals” much like our close friends the canines.

We are influenced by pack behavior, which can draw us into choices we might not make alone. And we are even more influenced by the actions of the alpha male or female. Remember the game “follow the leader?”

Teens mostly deserve some social media privacy

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: How old is old enough for teenagers to have “private” conversations on social media? I feel like a snoop reading my 14-year-old’s conversations. However, I feel like a neglectful parent if I don’t. My child so far has handled herself well, but there have been some close calls (older boys urging her to play sexual games over Skype, etc.). We have a detente on my reading her stuff. I pretend I don’t, and she pretends she doesn’t know I am looking. — Guinea Pig Generation When they’re 18, they’re adults and you have no business in their correspondence unless they have for some reason forfeited their autonomy (drug abuse, for example).

At 14, I’d have been outraged at having my every exchange monitored. I expect I’d have agreed to the following, though: (1) A minor is at heightened risk on social media and in other online forums; parents have a duty to protect.

(2) Any sense of privacy is false security, since anything texted or posted in private can end up everywhere. Having a parent catch your inappropriate exchange is better than having a school administrator, future employer or vindictive peer

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT find it first.

(3) A minor is also a person deserving of a social life over which a parent isn’t constantly hovering; parents don’t supervise teens’ every move in life, nor should they do so online. An approach that encompasses all three is for a parent to have full access that the child knows about, but that the parent uses only for spot checks, versus constant monitoring. How often you check depends on the kid as well as the peer group involved.

Other people’s solutions: Here were my mom’s rules (I’m an older millennial): All computer and phone time was with the door open and/or in common areas, all passwords had to be shared, and I was required to “friend” my mom (this was before security settings allowed me to hide posts from her).

She never checked, but I also never gave her a reason to check. She

Birthday party only for 1 THE NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE twin troubles other twin Dear Abby: I recently was invited to a surprise 50th-birthday party for my twin sister. Her husband had a family dinner that included all my siblings.

When my brother-in-law invited me, he said my sister didn’t want a big party, but he wanted to celebrate our birthdays with this special dinner. I was delighted to attend, but I must admit I was a little hurt when the celebration turned out to be strictly for my sister. My name wasn’t on the cake, and only she blew out the candles and opened gifts. (I did receive two cards.)

I know the party was given for her, and I was a gracious guest, but as her twin, I felt awkward and ignored. Am I being overly sensitive, or were they just rude? — Troubled Twin Dear Troubled Twin: Oh, my. I don’t think your brother-in-law was being rude. But in light of the fact that you and your sister were womb mates, you were treated with incredible insensitivity.

Dear Abby: I am a partially disabled person in my 70s. Because of arthritis in my spine and hip, I’m able to stand for only a few minutes and walk only 20 to 30 feet. When I know I am going to be someplace that requires more walking or standing, I use my wheelchair.

My question is: How do I reply to strangers who ask me, “Why are you in a wheelchair?” One lady said, “Oh, is it your knees?”

I feel the questions are rude, and I shouldn’t have to explain my medical status to people I don’t know.

I try to mumble something about not being able to stand for long periods, like waiting in line. But I’d really like to respond with RIP HAYWIRE

DEAR ABBY a funnier, more flippant reply if I could think of one. Any suggestions? — Traveling By Wheelchair Dear Traveling: Try one of these “flippant” possibilities: “It’s nothing I usually discuss in public, but it’s contagious!” Or, “I broke my tailbone dancing at the Bolshoi.” Or, “Just lazy, I guess.”

However, joking about a medical condition isn’t funny. So perhaps you should reconsider and just be honest.

Dear Abby: I’m in a sticky situation. My husband, “Chester,” can’t stand to eat meals with my dad. It’s never bothered me, but Dad sometimes “smacks” or talks with food in his mouth. It drives Chester crazy. We visit them every week and meals are always involved.

What do I do? Should my husband just get used to it?

We decided to ask you for advice before we do anything else. — In A Pickle In Texas Dear In A Pickle: Have your mother talk to Dad and “suggest” that their son-in-law is used to more formal table etiquette, so would Dad please make an effort to not chew with his mouth open when the two of you are visiting. I can’t promise it will do the trick, but it may make your father more conscious about what he’s doing.

Doctor’s Memory Breakthrough

New Discovery for People with Failing Memory World’s Leading Brain Expert and Winner of the Prestigious Kennedy Award, Unveils Exciting News For the Scattered, Unfocused and Forgetful

By Steven Wuzubia Health Correspondent; Clearwater, Florida: Dr. Meir Shinitzky, Ph.D., is a former visiting professor at Duke University, recipient of the prestigious J.F. Kennedy Prize and author of more than 200 international scientific papers on human body cells. But now he’s come up with what the medical world considers his greatest accomplishment — A vital compound. so powerful, it’s reported to repair… even regrow damaged brain cells.

In layman’s terms — Bring back your memory power. And leave you feeling more focused and clear-headed than you have in years!

Dr. Shinitsky explains this phenomenon in simple terms; “Science has shown when your brain nutrient levels drop, you can start to experience memory problems and overall mental fatigue. Your ability to concentrate and stay focused becomes compromised. And gradually, a “mental fog” sets in. It can damage every aspect of your life”. Not only do brain cells die but they become dysfunctional as if they begin to fade away as we age. This affects our ability to have mental clarity and focus and impacts our ability to remember things that were easy for us to do in our 20’s and 30’s.

Scientists think the biggest cause of brain deterioration in older people is the decreased functioning of membranes and molecules that surround the brain cells. These really are the transmitters that connect the tissues or the brain cells to one another that help us with our sharp memory, clear thinking and mental focus, even our powers to reason well. “When we are in our 20’s” according to Dr. Shinitzky “our body produces key substances like phosphatidylserine and phosphatidic acid”…unfortunately they are believed to be critical essential nutrients that just fade away with age, much like our memories often do leading to further mental deterioration.

As we get older it becomes more frustrating as there is little comfort when you forget names… misplace your keys…or just feel “a little confused”. And even though your foggy memory gets laughed off as just another “senior moment,” it’s not very funny when it keeps happening to you.

The Missing Link is Found and Tested It’s hard to pronounce that’s for sure, but it certainly appears from the astounding clinical research that this one vital nutrient phosphatidylserine (PS) can really make a huge difference in our mental wellness. 17 different double blind studies with placebo controlled groups have been involved in the clinical research of PS with patients between the ages of 55-80 years of age.

Periodically the researchers gave these patients memory and cognitive tests and the results were simply amazing: 1) PS patients outperformed placebo patients in All 5 Tests 100% Success Rate 2) After only 45 days there was a measurable improvement in mental function 3) After 90 days, there was an impressive and amazing improvement in mental function The group taking phosphatidylserine, not only enjoyed sharper memory, but listen to this… they were also more upbeat and remarkably more happy. In contrast, the moods of the individuals who took the placebo (starch pill), remained unaffected….no mental or mood improvement at all.

Vital Nutrient Reverses “Scatter Brain” This incredible PS nutrient feeds your brain the vital nutrient it needs to stay healthy... PS now has the attention of

Dr. Meir Shinitzky, Ph.D. a former visiting professor at Duke University and a recipient of the prestigious J.F. Kennedy Prize some of the world’s most prominent brain experts. It has been written up and published in leading science and medical journals and its findings have electrified the International scientific community.

Earth-Shaking Science Published, clinical reports show replenishing your body’s natural supply of Phosphatidylserine, not only helps sharpen your memory and concentration — but also helps “perk you up” and put you in a better mood. PS as it turns out also helps to reduce everyday stress and elevate your mood by lowering your body’s production of the hormone cortisol. When cortisol levels are too high for too long you experience fatigue, bad moods and weakness. This drug-free brain-boosting formula enters your bloodstream fast (in as little as thirty minutes).

Officially Reviewed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration: Lipogen PS Plus is the ONLY Health Supplement that has a “Qualified Health Claim for both Cognitive Dysfunction and Dementia”.

My Memory Started to Scare Me. I would forget all kinds of things and something that I just said earlier in the day would have completely slipped my mind. I almost forgot my granddaughter’s birthday and that would have been horrible. I had forgotten lots of other little things along the way. I was worried about it.

Over the last several months I’ve noticed my memory seemed to be getting pretty unreliable and so I thought I’d better do something about it now. So when I read about this amazing PS nutrient and how much it would help me with my memory I wanted to try it.

It’s great! I have actual recall now, which is super. After about 6 weeks of taking it on a daily basis is when I began to notice that I wasn’t forgetting things anymore.

Thanks to PS for giving me my memory back. It’s given me a lot more self-confidence and self-esteem. I would not trust my memory without it.

TELEVISION

Comedian Michelle Collins to join ‘The View,’ replacing Rosie Perez Comedian Michelle Collins will slide into Rosie Perez’s soon-to-be vacated seat on “The View.”

Amid falling confetti and much fanfare, the writer/ comedian, who will be the 15th cohost of ABC’s daytime talker, shared the news live on Monday’s episode.

The recent contributor is set to start her new gig in September, with a few guest appearances slated for the summer ahead of her debut.

“The View” is set to go on hiatus in August.

“These past few months have been the most fun and exciting of my career, and I couldn’t be happier to join such an awesome, smart, accomplished and funny group of women,” the 34-year-old said in a statement. “Ever since the age of 4 (and the height of 5’ 6”) it’s been my dream to host a talk show, and the fact that I now get to do just that every day with an amazing, hard-working team of producers, writers, cast and crew is beyond my wildest expectations.”

The pop-culture comic has previously worked on VH1’s “Walk of Shame Shuttle” and “Big Morning Buzz Live” as well as Logo’s

Co-host Whoppi Goldberg (left) smiles as Michelle Collins celebrates after being named co-host of the daytime talk show “The View,” on Monday in New York.

“The Gossip Queens.” Collins also served as managing editor at VH1’s “Best Week Ever” website and appeared on the pop culture show.

Her lightning-quick wit, strong opinions and wicked humor are among the reasons for her hire, “The View” executive producer Bill Wolff said in a statement.

Former cohost and creator Barbara Walters said the outrageous and thoughtful Collins “brings a fantastic energy and a keen sense of humor to the program.”

Perez, who was the

first Latina cohost in the program’s 17-year history, announced her exit earlier this month after one season on the daytime chat show.

Critics observed that the actress never seemed quite at ease on the talker.

In the addition to Collins, the ever-changing cohosts now are longtime fixture Whoopi Goldberg, Season 18 addition Nicole Wallace and former child star RavenSymone, who replaced Rosie O’Donnell after her February exit.

MUSIC

Fogerty sues former Creedence bandmates Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member John Fogerty filed a countersuit alleging that his former bandmates in Creedence Clearwater Revival have breached their contract in which he allowed them to use the name Creedence Clearwater Revisited while touring and playing the music they recorded together four decades ago.

Fogerty’s action, filed in Los Angeles on Friday, according to The Associated Press, claims that Creedence bassist Stu Cook and drummer Doug Clifford have not paid him in more than three years under terms of the agreement they set up more than a decade ago. It does not state how much money he is seeking.

It’s a response to a preemptive suit that Cook and Clifford filed in 2014 charging that Fogerty had breached their 2001 agreement over use of the name Creedence Clearwater Revival in his current “Hit Songs from 1969 and More” tour, in which Fogerty is

performing songs from a year the band released three hit albums: “Bayou Country,” “Green River” and “Willie and the Poorboys.”

“This action is about the need to defend ourselves and rights,” Cook and Clifford said at that time. “Mr. Fogerty’s failure to perform contractual promises and unlicensed uses of the trademark ‘Creedence Clearwater Revival.”

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Tuesday, July 14, the 195th day of 2015. There are 170 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight: On July 14, 1865, the Matterhorn, straddling Italy and Switzerland, was summited as a seven-member rope party led by British climber Edward Whymper reached the peak. (Four members of the party fell to their deaths during their descent; Whymper and two guides survived.)

On this date: In 1789, in an event symbolizing the start of the French Revolution, citizens of Paris stormed the Bastille prison and released the seven prisoners inside.

In 1881, outlaw William H. Bonney Jr., alias “Billy the Kid,” was shot and killed by Sheriff Pat Garrett in Fort Sumner in present-day New Mexico.

In 1913, Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr., the 38th president of the United States, was born Leslie Lynch King Jr. in Omaha, Nebraska.

In 1921, Italian-born anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were convicted in Dedham, Massachusetts, of murdering a shoe company paymaster and his guard. (Sacco and Vanzetti were executed six years later.)

In 1933, all German political parties, except the Nazi Party, were outlawed.

Cartoon character Popeye the Sailor made his movie debut in the Fleischer Studios animated short, “Popeye the Sailor.”

In 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a measure providing funds for a national monument honoring scientist George Washington Carver; the monument was built at Carver’s birthplace near Diamond, Missouri.

In 1958, the army of Iraq overthrew the monarchy.

In 1965, the American space probe Mariner 4 flew

by Mars, sending back photographs of the red planet.

Associated Press

In conjunction with his lawsuit, Fogerty said in a statement: “No lawyers, lawsuits, or angry ex-band members will stop me ever again from singing my songs. These frivolous lawsuits in the past took me away from the music I loved.

I am going to continue to tour and play all my songs every single night I am out on the road. No matter how anyone else sees it, they are my songs.”

Following the acrimonious disbanding of the group in 1972, Fogerty famously refused to perform alongside Cook and Clifford when Creedence was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993.

The fourth original member of the band, Fogerty’s brother Tom Fogerty, died in 1990. His widow joined Cook and Clifford in the 2014 suit against John Fogerty.

Representatives for Cook and Clifford could not immediately be reached for comment.

Design student revamps cardboard signs to help homeless stand out

By Jasper Craven Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — Among the tall towers and tourists crowding Chicago’s Magnificent Mile is an often overlooked population: homeless people with signs asking for change.

While many of the cardboard signs seem hastily scribbled, over the past months many of them have been revamped and replaced, a project from a Chicago art student who hoped that beautiful lettering would stand out amid the hustle and bustle of

Michigan Avenue.

“My hope was that the Chicago project would create some awareness around the homeless,” said Ian Todd, the man behind the hand-lettered signs. “And also that people would be more inclined to talk when they walk by, and more willing to give.”

Todd, 23, said recently that he was struck by the vast number of Chicago’s homeless when he moved to the city from California to study at the Chicago Portfolio School, which focuses on advertising

and design.

“It was a bit shocking seeing all the homelessness,” he said. “I was taking a class on expressive type, and after seeing someone hold a cardboard sign, I thought a well-designed one could grab people’s attention.”

Todd first approached homeless people in April, asking whether they wanted new signs. Some refused, but others acquiesced and Todd got to work. He finished about 20 signs in two months and said that the complexity of the lettering meant one

Even middle-aged adults can join in with folly if the leader sets the stage.

History is filled with evil deeds done by “followers” who might never initiate those same actions.

Here are a few important points to remember when conducting your own risk assessment: Think with your head, not with your heart.

There is a reason we have a brain other than to fill the space between our ears. Use it. Don’t make decisions that entail risk without really thinking about it. Consider your emotions but don’t let them rule your choices.

Take some time to make your decision.

Delaying a potentially impulsive decision gives you time to consider the possible consequences of

your action.

Don’t be overly influenced by others. This can be difficult. It takes maturity, courage and wisdom to take a different course than the group.

Ask yourself first: Would I do this if I were here alone? This may help you look at your options more objectively.

Fear is not necessarily bad. It’s healthy to be afraid of things that are dangerous. Measuring the risks and benefits of our choices is a daily part of life. Don’t let fear rule your life, but have a healthy respect for things that are risky.

ware. The repeated pattern is going to be like ‘Whoa, what’s that?’ ” Williams said. “The pure white background with highgloss finish is to make it look ceramic and dainty, like, ‘Oh, let’s get some tea today.’ ” The piano is located by the cafe. Convenient for you. But for her, not so much.

Before she could paint the wood white she had to sand it.

“I couldn’t bring an electric sander in because there’s no outlets available nearby and it’s so close to the cafe it would generate a lot of dust,” she said.

“I hand-sanded it. It was quite a workout. It was essentially just like doing a lot of pushups.”

The piano is a conversation piece for passersby who stop to chat or, in the early days, critique.

sign took anywhere from five to 10 hours to complete. He started a blog called “The Urban Type Experiment” documenting his experience making the signs, which quickly went viral.

The signs, all of which are photographed on his blog, tell varying stories of turmoil, from a single father struggling to support three children to a woman offering work so that she can afford a bus ticket home. Todd kept in touch with many of the sign recipients and said while some had success,

not all of the signs brought an uptick in charity.

Mike Droney, 54, was holding one of Todd’s signs on Michigan Avenue on a recent sunny afternoon.

The aging piece of cardboard read: “I lost my leg for my country. Please help, you will be blessed.”

Droney, who has been homeless for six years, said he lost his leg fighting in Somalia. He sits in front of a Starbucks coffee shop most days asking for money, and said the only real assistance he gets is medical care from the Department of

Veterans Affairs.

Droney said he often gets accolades about the sign, but it is hard to quantify whether the lettering is really doing much.

“People compliment me on it, you know, so it might help, in a way,” he said. “I can’t really say.”

Ulysses White, 54, also has one of Todd’s signs and said it has resulted in more charity. White said he served two tours in Iraq, and his sign makes mention of his service before saying: “Anything is appreciated. Thank you for your generosity.”

One man said, ‘What are you doing? It’s such a beautiful piano.’ And I looked at him, because I had been working all day, and I said, ‘I’m an artist. Trust me. It is going to look way better than when I started. I would not leave this piano in shambles.’

“One man said, ‘What are you doing? It’s such a beautiful piano,’ ” she said. “And I looked at him, because I had been working all day, and I said, ‘I’m an artist.

Trust me. It is going to look way better than when I started. I would not leave this piano in shambles.’ ” Williams enjoys the interaction. Usually, she does her multiple forms of artwork in private. (Check out her art at www.pokeanddraw.com.)

“I’ve never worked where people are walking by,” she said. “It’s a unique set of people who come through

here on their way to another destination, whether it be B.C. or Portland or even far east. People say, ‘I can’t wait to play the piano. I’ll be back.’ ” Williams moved to Everett from a small town in Indiana more than six years ago after visiting a friend from college, Elizabeth Person. “We met in the art department at Indiana Wesleyan,” Williams said. “I visited her and fell in love with Everett and the area.”

Her friend, a city graphic designer, also is painting a Street Tunes piano.

“We like to talk piano

now,” Williams said. “It will be fun that we both have a piano unveiled together.”

It’s crunch time.

“I have to have it done

by August 5,” Williams said.

“So August 4 I will have it done.”

Pianos will be out for impromptu concerts through Aug. 25.

You might hear some pounding going on sooner.

Typewriters decorated by artists hit the streets on July 15. “Word on the Street” runs through Aug. 4.

HOROSCOPE Happy Birthday: Let your creative imagination lead the way. Try new things and check out different philosophies and hobbies. Travel should play a big role in your plans, along with educational opportunities that will help you make professional changes. Your numbers are 1, 7, 13, 21, 24, 37, 46.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be sensitive toward others. A feud will escalate quickly if you are too quick to judge. Learn from past mistakes and you will avoid an emotional mishap. Offer affection over criticism, and you will get your way. ���� TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Refuse to make impulsive moves or decisions. Timing is everything, and knowing exactly what’s required to reach your goals with the least amount of opposition will result in your success. ��� GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Give yourself a chance to experiment with obscure ideas you would like to pursue. It’s okay to be different, but do your homework before heading down that path. ��� CANCER (June 21-July 22): Hold your thoughts until you can deal with the responses you get. Someone will put you in your place if you overreact or become aggressive. ��� LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A secret affair may be enticing, but think it through before engaging in activities that are likely to end in distress. Think before you jump into something without weighing the pros and cons. ���

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your desire to make improvements to whatever cause you join will bring you popularity and clout.

Use constructive criticism as a bridge to implementing your plans. ���� LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Problems will mount both at home and at work. Back away if someone tries to force his or her opinions on you. Look to make a change that will benefit you mentally, physically and financially. �� SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your ability to see situations clearly will help you make decisions that will improve the relationships you have with others. Your unique approach to learning and cultural differences will encourage assistance. ����� SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Cash deals will be tempting. Before you give the go-ahead, make sure you have all your facts straight. Home improvement projects will turn out well, but consider costs. ��� CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You will face a problem if you neglect your responsibilities within a work or personal partnership. Inconclusive information must not lead to overreacting or undue blame. ��� AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Channel your energy into going above and beyond the call of duty when asked to do a job.

What you do in a timely fashion will be your ticket to monetary gains. ��� PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Spending time with the people you get the most from in return should take top priority. A trip that ensures both fun and learning will help you make decisions regarding your current and future lifestyle. ����� Universal Uclick

CINCINNATI — Picked to start the All-Star Game for the National League, Zack Greinke wasn’t sure he wanted his wife to make the trek from Los Angeles to Great American Ball Park.

“My wife is less than three weeks until having a kid,” he said of Emily. “She found a way to get out here even though she probably shouldn’t have. That just shows how excited the family is.”

A 31-year-old Dodgers righthander with a big league-best 1.39 ERA, Greinke starts Tuesday night against Houston lefty Dallas Keuchel, known for a distinctive long, bushy beard.

Informed Sunday by AL manager Ned Yost that Keuchel was starting, Houston manager A.J. Hinch opted not to tell the firsttime All-Star. Keuchel found out from MLB Senior Vice President Phyllis Merhige when he arrived at the team’s hotel on Sunday night.

“I was able to tell my family, but I couldn’t really tell many more,” he said. “And even my family has loose lips, so I was very thankful for them not telling anybody.”

Greinke is 8-2 and enters the game following five straight scoreless starts over 352⁄3 innings.

The Mariners’ one bright spot Nelson Cruz will be the second Mariners DH to start an All-Star Game

By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — The last time the voting populace elected a Seattle Mariners designated hitter as an All-Star Game starter, the club won 93 games and finished in second place in the American League West.

The time before that — two years prior, in 2001 — they had one of the best teams of all time, won 116 games and ran away

with the AL West championship.

And in 1997, the first time Edgar Martinez, DH extraordinaire, was chosen by fans to start the All-Star Game, the Mariners won the West for the first time in franchise history (Martinez also started the All-Star Game in 1995, and that season turned out OK for the Mariners, too).

Which is to say that Nelson Cruz’s selection as the AL’s starting DH in Tuesday’s All-Star Game in Cincinnati arrives

under somewhat different circumstances.

The Mariners enter the break with a 41-48 record, 7.5 games back of the first-place Los Angeles Angels, their inert offense the focus of a disappointing first half.

Just imagine, then, where they would be without Cruz, who with an ever-so-slight uptick could reasonably become just the fourth player in franchise history

Bryant to Cowboys: No deal, no play The All-Pro wide receiver has until Wednesday to sign a long-term contract.

Associated Press IRVING, Texas — Dez Bryant is sending another signal that he won’t play for the Dallas Cowboys without a long-term contract.

The unsigned All-Pro wide receiver posted a message on Twitter to Dallas fans Monday, apologizing while saying he “will not be there” if he doesn’t have a new deal by Wednesday’s deadline.

Bryant, who led the NFL with 16 touchdown catches last season, has a one-year offer of $12.8 million under the franchise tag.

Because he hasn’t signed a contract, Bryant can’t be fined for missing training camp, which starts July 30. He would lose about $750,000 for each regularseason game he skips.

“As much as I love football ... I apologize @cowboynation but I will not be there if no deal,” wrote Bryant, who skipped offseason workouts and has said he would consider missing games.

Bryant showed up on the sidelines at offseason practice a couple of times, including the final mandatory minicamp workout at AT&T Stadium in June. He had about a 15-minute chat with owner Jerry Jones.

The Cowboys are not commenting on the negotiations with Bryant, who was trending after his tweet. Actor Rob Lowe chimed in on Twitter, writing, “Pay Dez. @Cowboys @NFL This is a no-brainier (sic).”

If the 26-year-old Bryant doesn’t sign the franchise tender by 1 p.m. PDT time Wednesday, he can’t sign a long-term contract until after the season.

That makes his situation different from former Dallas running back Emmitt Smith. The NFL’s all-time rushing leader missed the first two games in 1993 in a contract dispute, and signed a deal after the defending Super Bowl champions lost both games.

The contract is guaranteed if Bryant signs, but he has indicated that long-term financial stability is important to him. Bryant just completed his five-year rookie deal that paid him a total of about $11.8 million.

U.S. rallies for 1-1 draw Dempsey and Yedlin give the U.S. a second-half spark

By Dave Skretta AP Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — The sluggish play. The porous back line. The inability to finish off good chances.

None of the defects that slowed the United States during group play in the CONCACAF Gold Cup has swayed the opinion of Panama coach Hernan Gomez, who said the defending champions are the favorites in the knockout rounds.

“They play together well,” Gomez said after Panama played the U.S. to a 1-1 draw in Group A Monday night. “My personal opinion? This is the team to beat.”

Not that things have necessarily been easy in Group A. The U.S. (2-0-1) got another stiff challenge from Los Canaleros, who took the lead on Blas Perez’s goal in the 34th minute and seemed to have the game well in hand. But after secondhalf subs Clint Dempsey and DeAndre Yedlin energized the Americans, Michael Bradley found the back of the net with the equalizer in the 55th minute for his 14th international goal.

“The positive you take from it is we’re unbeaten in the group,”

said Dempsey, who had scored all three American goals in the tournament coming in. “Now we focus on the quarterfinals and make sure we’re playing our best.”

Already assured of first place in Group A, the U.S. improved to 30-1-3 in Gold Cup group play.

But none of the three matches in this year’s Gold Cup, including a 2-1 victory over Honduras and a 1-0 win over Haiti, left coach Jurgen Klinsmann brimming with confidence heading into a quarterfinal Saturday in Baltimore.

“It’s been a very, very difficult group,” Klinsmann said.

Meanwhile, Panama (0-0-3) must await the outcome of the remaining group matches this week to know whether all its draws will be enough to advance.

If not, the U.S. will once again have crippled Panama’s hopes.

Two years ago, the Americans beat Los Canaleros 1-0 in the Gold Cup final. Three months later, Graham Zusi and Aron Johannsson scored in second-half stoppage time to deny Panama a spot in the World Cup in Brazil — a berth that wound up going to Mexico.

Needing a win to assure advancement, Panama pressed

the attack early against the sluggish Americans. Luis Tejada was called offside in the opening minutes after putting a shot in the back of the net, and goalkeeper Brad Guzan had to make a spectacular save of a corner kick that nearly turned into an own goal off Chris Wondolowski.

Panama finally broke through when Tejada slipped past Ventura Alvarado and crossed to Perez running between the center backs. The FC Dallas striker chipped it in for his 38th international goal, silencing a sellout crowd of 18,467 at Sporting Park.

With the U.S. need of a spark, Klinsmann substituted in former Seattle Sounder Yedlin and current Sounder Dempsey at the start of the second half.

Right away, their speed and creativity made a difference.

In the 55th minute, Dempsey took a pass from Gyasi Zardes while falling with his back to the goal, and poked it wide to Bedoya. He sent a perfect cross to Bradley, running from his spot in the midfield, and the captain knocked it for his second career Gold Cup goal.

“I think we’re just getting our feet in the tournament,” Klinsmann said.

Taylor: ‘He’s just a good ballplayer’ From Page C1

going into Monday night’s game in Boise.

“It doesn’t matter to me where I’m at on the field,” said Taylor, a native of Deer Park, Texas, located southeast of Houston. “I’m just going to play hard and work as much as I can to be as good as I can be and help the club out.”

Changing positions to benefit the needs of his team is nothing new for Taylor, who was shifted to left field at the start of his junior year at Texas A&M after starting 43 games at shortstop as a sophomore.

“I really don’t know why I went to the outfield,” he said.

“I showed up the first day and took ground balls for a couple of minutes and they said you’re going to be in the outfield this season. I wasn’t going to sit there and argue with them; as long as I got in the lineup, that’s all I cared about. They said left field and I started to work on that every day.”

Playing the outfield regularly for the first time in his baseball career didn’t affect Taylor’s performance in the slightest with the Aggies. He made one error in 63 games and recorded seven outfield assists as Texas A&M won its first 24 games of the season en route to a berth in a NCAA Super Regional.

Taylor and the Aggies lost 2-1 to TCU in a best-of-three series, with the clincher going to the Horned Frogs 5-4 in a 16-inning

Logan Taylor played his college baseball at Texas A&M.

classic.

Taylor hit .333 in his final collegiate season, leading a top offensive team in home runs (10) and RBI (52). He was an All-SEC second-team selection and was a third-team All-America by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association.

With the exception of this past season at Texas A&M, Taylor has been an infielder. He played shortstop and a little bit of third base with the Cotuit Kettleers of the Cape Cod Baseball League after his sophomore season, and played all around the infield in limited duty as a freshman with the Aggies after being a standout high school shortstop.

Changing positions while concurrently adjusting to life as a professional baseball player may seem especially daunting to some, Taylor handles it all with a relaxed cool.

“The toughest part has been reading the ball off the bat and getting my timing at footwork down in the infield,” he said.

“I’ve done early work and extra work taking ground balls, and that helps a lot.”

Taylor has made three errors with the AquaSox, and all of those came in the infield.

“He’s done a really good job for us. We knew he was a guy that could play a lot of positions, and you love to have one or two guys like that on a team,” AquaSox manager Rob Mummau said. “Anytime a player can play more than one or two positions it’s going to add value and give them more opportunity down the road.”

Since Texas A&M played so deep into the postseason, Taylor had a whopping three days off in between the end of his college career and the start of his professional service. It has taken him a while to acclimate to living in the Pacific Northwest other than coming to the ballpark and playing each day.

He and Sox relief pitcher Matt Clancy are living with host parents Jim and Sue Weiss in Arlington during the season.

“It took a couple weeks to get adjusted to the time change and the weather, which is a lot better than Texas,” he said. “But I think we’re all doing pretty well with that now.”

Taylor’s bat will keep him in the lineup for the most part, putting the onus on Mummau to decide where to deploy him defensively. File that under “G” for good problems.

“He’s a natural hitter with a good feel for the strike zone and a good swing,” Mummau said.

“He’s just a good ballplayer all the way around.”

AquaSox rout the Hawks 11-1 Everett hits three home runs en route to its third straight victory.

Herald staff BOISE, Idaho — The Everett AquaSox were riding high heading into their first off day of the Northwest League baseball season.

Everett slugged three home runs and the Sox knocked off the Boise Hawks in an 11-1 laugher Monday night at Memorial Stadium.

The victory was Everett’s third straight, and the Sox won four of the five games in the series.

The Sox broke open a close game in the top of the sixth inning, scoring seven times to blow past the Hawks.

First baseman Yordi Calderon led the barrage, belting two homers. Ryan Uhl also homered, and Rafael Fernandez added three hits for Everett, which improved to 17-9.

The Sox also received a strong pitching performance as five hurlers combined on a five-hitter. Starter Anthony Misiewicz was impressive, tossing four scoreless frames and striking out four.

Rohn Pierce earned the win with two perfect innings of relief.

Boise dropped to 8-18.

Meanwhile, the Sox lost their top pitching prospect as Luiz Gohara was promoted to Clinton of the Mid-A Midwest League prior to Monday’s game.

Gohara, an 18-year-old lefthander from Brazil who was in his second season with Everett, was 1-2 with a 3.74 ERA in five starts with the Sox this season.

He walked 11 and struck out 30 in 212⁄3 innings.

Everett is off Tuesday, the first off day of the season. The Sox resume play Wednesday when they begin a three-game home series against Vancouver.

Everett held a slender 1-0 lead Monday, then blew the game open in the sixth. Uhl got things started by blasting a three-run homer to left to give the Sox control. The homer was Uhl’s first as a professional.

The Sox then loaded the bases with two out, and Jordan Cowan drew a walk to force in another run. Logan Taylor followed by slicing a two-run double to right to bring home two more, then back-to-back hit batters scored another run as Everett went ahead 8-0.

Calderon hit a solo homer in the seventh and a two-run shot in the ninth, both to left-center, to complete the rout.

Sounders reassess tactics Seattle has scored twice in last five matches without Clint Dempsey and Obafemi Martins.

By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

TUKWILA — Seattle Sounders coach Sigi Schmid often says the loss of a starter is an opportunity for a reserve to show that he deserves more playing time.

Over the past five games, the Sounders’ attacking players haven’t made a compelling case.

Seattle has played five straight Major League Soccer matches without starting forwards Clint Dempsey and Obafemi Martins. And over those 450 minutes, they have scored two goals.

Their top offensive producer has been Tyrone Mears, a 32-year-old defender who scored one of the goals and assisted the other, which was scored by Lamar Neagle.

The stretch has brought four losses, three by shutout.

“The goal production hasn’t been there,” Schmid said. “So again: Are we not putting them in the right situations? So that’s something; that first arrow points at me. ... The second one is (the players) have to deal with their own performance and not producing. Right now our leading goal-scorer is Tyrone Mears while we’ve had the injuries. So we need other people to step up. Does that mean making some changes?

Changing things around? Putting some people on the bench? Giving even some other guys a go? Maybe that’s what needs to happen.”

Dempsey missed the first three matches due to disciplinary suspension and the last two while at CONCACAF Gold Cup with the United States national team. Martins remains out after suffering a leg injury June 16 in the U.S. Open Cup loss to Portland.

Both are All-Stars and designated players, combining for more than $9 million in compensation. However, they also have combined for 14 goals of the club’s 25 goals and 10 of its 24 assists.

In their absence, the Sounders have tried various combinations up top: Neagle as the lone striker, Barrett as the lone striker, and Neagle and Barrett side by side in the traditional 4-4-2.

“Barrett’s more suited for being the lone forward up top,” Schmid said. “Neagle is more suited for playing one of two up top, or coming a little more from the wing. He’s a player who’s better facing goal or running off somebody, stretching the defense. Barrett can play with his back to goal if need be, but can also stretch the defense.”

That’s the way Schmid started them Saturday at Chicago: Barrett alone up top with Neagle as an outside midfielder. But the result was a 1-0 loss. That leaves Schmid rethinking all options leading to the Saturday home match against Colorado, when Dempsey and Martins once again will be unavailable.

“We all have to look at it,” Schmid

said. “Did we train too hard? Did we not do the right things in training? I got to look at that because ultimately I’m the guy responsible.”

Schmid was asked what specific areas of the attack disappointed him against the Fire.

“We didn’t keep possession of the ball,” he said. “We didn’t work hard enough up front.”

Added time Dempsey and Martins were named Monday to the MLS All-Star Game Fan XI for the second straight season. Players voted onto the Fan XI are not guaranteed a spot on the game-day roster when the MLS Stars will meet Tottenham Hotspur of the English Premier League on July 29 in Commerce City, Colorado. That 22man roster will be announced Saturday.

Other players selected for the Fan XI are goalkeeper Nick Rimando (Salt Lake); defenders Omar Gonzalez (Los Angeles), Matt Besler (Kansas City), DaMarcus Beasley (Houston); midfielders Kaka (Orlando), Michael Bradley (Toronto), Benny Feilhaber (Kansas City), Graham Zusi (Kansas City), and forward David Villa (New York City). ... Schmid said No. 1 goalkeeper Stefan Frei “is definitely a possibility for this weekend” after missing the Chicago match with a shoulder injury. ... Newly acquired midfielder Eric Friberg trained with the team Monday at Starfire Sports Complex. He is eligible to play Saturday, but Schmid didn’t yet commit to that. “Fitness-wise he told me where he feels at right now,” Schmid said. “So he just needs more touches. Just feels that he needs to get around the ball a little more. Today training involved a lot of touches. We’ll see how he does tomorrow, and we’ll make a decision as we move forward this week.”

Basso diagnosed with tumor, withdraws from Tour Associated Press PAU, France — Stunning the Tour de France on its first rest day, doctors diagnosed a tumor in the left testicle of two-time Giro d’Italia winner Ivan Basso on Monday, forcing him out of the showcase race.

His former rival Lance Armstrong, who survived testicular cancer that spread to his lungs and brain, immediately tweeted his support.

At age 37, Basso wasn’t a contender to win the race, as the Italian was in his heyday before he was banned for doping. But his experience and pedigree — Basso finished second at the 2005 Tour and third in 2004 — meant his withdrawal was keenly felt by his team leader Alberto

Cruz From Page C1

to hit 40 or more home runs in a season (Ken Griffey Jr. did it six times, and Alex Rodriguez and Jay Buhner did it three times each).

On Tuesday, Cruz will become the second Mariners DH to start an AllStar Game. He secured that honor by winning a close vote over Kansas City Royals DH (and former Mariner) Kendrys Morales.

And while the Mariners’ season has thus far been defined by underachievement, Cruz has been a bright spot. After signing a four-year, $58 million contract with the Mariners this offseason, Cruz, the AL’s reigning home-run king — he hit 40 last season for the Baltimore Orioles — has delivered in a way that few likely expected: Through 89 games, he’s hit 21 homers (tied for fifth in the AL), driven in 53 runs, batted .308 (seventh-best in the AL) and assembled an on-base-plus-slugging (OPS) of .919 (fourth-best in the AL).

Those numbers were buoyed by a particularly impressive monthplus to begin the season; in his first 34 games, Cruz batted .361 with 15 homers and a 1.158 OPS. And though he’s played more games in right field (49) than at DH (38) — and that’s the way he prefers it — Cruz said he’s come to appreciate the latter more and more.

“You have to see the positive in everything,” Cruz said at his locker last week before a game against the Detroit Tigers. “You’ve got time to rest when you’re DHing, time to help

Starters From Page C1

the season, forfeit a minimum $71 million over the next three years and become a free agent again.

Given his season, he figures to receive lucrative offers.

“These numbers he’s putting up are really, really unbelievable,” NL manager Bruce Bochy said Monday.

Keuchel, 27, is 11-4 with a 2.23

Contador.

The 2007 and 2009 champion must now tackle the most arduous two weeks of the Tour, with decisive climbs in the Pyrenees and Alps, without the assistance and moral support of his veteran teammate and training partner.

On what is often an uneventful day of rest and relaxation when riders recharge their batteries before the high mountains, a visibly shaken Basso appeared with Contador at a news conference and announced that just two hours earlier, doctors diagnosed a tumor in his left testicle that had been painful since he crashed on Stage 5.

Contador put his arm around Basso and vowed, his voice cracking

with emotion, to do his best to win the race to honor his teammate.

Basso said he has cancer.

“I have a small cancer in the left testicle,” he said. “I have to stop and go back to Italy.”

But his Tinkoff-Saxo team said more tests are needed to be certain the tumor is cancerous.

“Probabilities are very high,” Pierre Orphanidis, a team spokesman, said in an Associated Press interview. “We still need the further analysis to be 100 percent sure.”

Tumors can be benign, meaning they’re not cancerous and don’t spread to other parts of the body, or malignant, which means they are cancerous and can spread.

your teammates, watch videos of what they’re doing and stuff like that so you can help them. So you can take advantage of all the situations you have.”

His teammates do not fail to appreciate the kind of power that has been so rare in Seattle for most of the last decade. Seattle shortstop Brad Miller remembers that at his first spring training, when Cruz was playing for the Texas Rangers, he watched him mash a few pitches and thought: “Wow, OK. I need to hit the weight room a little bit, because this is pretty grown-men stuff right here.”

Said first baseman Logan Morrison: “His swing path is like a perfect ‘C.’ The ball’s down, it’s a perfect ‘C,’ and he’s able to adjust that when the ball’s up and go flatter. The reason you want it to be a ‘C’ is so when the ball’s down, you can be on plane with it, pick it up and hit homers.

Guys like myself struggle with that, and that ball is hit hard but it’s hit on the ground or on a line and it’s caught, versus in the air and stays very straight for him.”

Off the field, Cruz is the quintessential unassuming star, fitting in immediately with his disarming personality.

“He’s unbelievably nice,” Morrison said. “You would never know he’s a superstar. He treats everybody very equally, says hello to everyone, whether it be the security guard or Robbie (Cano) or the manager. ...

After losses he comes up to you and if you had a bad game, he says, ‘Don’t worry about it, man, we’re playing tomorrow, get ’em tomorrow. We’re going to come out of it.’ So he’s a very

calming influence to have.”

It’s a style that seems to work well in Seattle, which Cruz describes as “a calm city,” noting, as an example, that he was struck by how willing fellow motorists are to allow others to change lanes in front of them.

“It’s peaceful,” he said. “It’s really peaceful. So I’ve enjoyed my time here and I love the city.”

He’s making his fourth All-Star Game appearance with his third different team, and says he’s able to relax and enjoy the scene more and more with each trip. His first selection came in 2009 in St. Louis, and he traveled there aboard a plane with fellow Rangers All-Stars Michael Young and Josh Hamilton — and, because the Rangers had just completed a four-game series in Seattle, Felix Hernandez and Ichiro Suzuki were there, too. Ken Griffey Jr. also came along for the ride. They played cards.

“It was a long flight,” Cruz said, “so we had a long time to do some different stuff.”

Martinez, now the Mariners’ hitting coach, says it’s “very cool” to see another Seattle DH earn an All-Star start. And his evaluation of Cruz’s approach at the plate sounds awfully familiar.

“Nelson is the kind of hitter that has a lot of power, but he also uses the whole field,” Martinez said. “He goes with what the pitcher gives him.

If they’re pitching away, he goes the other way. He just covers the whole plate.

“He’s adjusted to both roles, whether he’s playing in the outfield or DH. He just adjusts really well. It’s been consistent all year.”

ERA. Since starting his big league career 9-18 in 2012 and ‘13, he is 23-13.

He becomes Houston’s fourth AllStar starting pitcher after J.R. Richard (1980), Mike Scott (1987) and Roger Clemens (2004).

The AL will open the game with an all right-handed-hitting lineup for the first time; the only previous team to do that was the NL for the first of two games in 1962. This is the first time the AL starting lineup did not have at least one player from Boston

or the New York Yankees.

Bochy said having the decision to have the winning All-Star team’s league gain home-field advantage in the World Series has increased the intensity of the game. Bochy’s Giants opened at home in 2010 and ‘12 and went on to four game sweeps, then started at Kansas City last year and became the first visitor to win a Game 7 since 1979.

“Your priority is not to get everybody in as much as it used to be,” he said. “There is a lot at stake.”

Little League team wins state title The South Snohomish majors softball team will play in the regionals in San Bernardino, California, later this month.

Herald staff The South Snohomish Little League majors softball team (ages 11-12) rolled to the state championship last week, winning four games by a combined score of 55-2, including a 10-0 win over Federal Way in the title game on July 10 at Sunset Park in Auburn.

With the championship, South Snohomish qualifies for the regional tournament, July 24-31 in

San Bernardino, California.

The team will open the first night with a game against Nevada.

It was the third consecutive state title for this group of South Snohomish players, who won the 9-10 and 10-11 age divisions the past two years.

Leading the way for South Snohomish was pitcher Makayla Miller, who went 4-0 in the state tournament. In 14 innings, she allowed just two hits,

three walks and struck out 24. Offensively, Kiley Hubby was 9-for-15 at the plate with 11 RBI, and Haley Winckler was 7-for13 with seven stolen bases and 10 runs scored.

Wallace wins triathlon Michael Wallace of Everett won the overall men’s title at the 2015 USA Triathlon Clydesdale and Athena National Championships, held June 15, in Grand Rapids, Mich.

The event is for “larger framed racers,” the 42-yearold Wallace said. The Clydesdale class is for men who are 220 pounds and larger.

Wallace, a millwright for the Port of Everett, completed a

1.2-mile swim, a 56-mile bike ride and a 13.1-mile run in 5 hours, 8 minutes, 59 seconds, about 90 seconds ahead of the next male competitor.

“It feels pretty good,” said Wallace, who trains at the Everett YMCA and is in his third summer of competing in triathlons. “I go to the Y every morning at 4:45. Monday through Friday I’m there and I put my time in. … I felt like I did the best race that I could and it turned out to be enough.”

Magic agree to trade Harkless to Trail Blazers Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. — A person with knowledge of the details said the Orlando Magic have agreed to trade forward Maurice Harkless to the Portland Trail Blazers for a second-round draft pick.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on Monday on condition of anonymity because the deal has not yet been officially announced. The trade was first reported by Yahoo Sports.

The 6-foot-9 Harkless just completed his third year in Orlando, averaging 3.5 points and 2.4 rebounds per game.

The 22-year-old was originally selected 15th overall by Philadelphia in the 2012 draft, and was dealt to the Magic prior to the start of his rookie season as part of a four-team trade that sent Dwight Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Pacers sign Turner INDIANAPOLIS — First-round draft pick Myles Turner has signed with the Indiana Pacers.

The 6-foot-11, 240-pound Turner was the No. 11 selection last month. Terms were not disclosed, though he is expected to make about $2.4 million next season.

Turner averaged 10.1 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.6 blocks in his only season at Texas and averaged 18.7 points in three games with Indiana’s summer-league team in Orlando, Florida.

Barbosa deal is official OAKLAND, Calif. — The deal struck last week between the Golden State Warriors and veteran guard Leandro Barbosa is complete.

The Warriors announced Barbosa’s signing Monday. The contract is worth about $2.5 million.

The 32-year-old combo guard is one of coach Steve Kerr’s favorites from their time together in Phoenix, where Kerr was the general manager. The Brazilian-born Barbosa averaged 7.1 points and 1.5 assists in 14.9 minutes last season with the NBA champion Warriors. He served as a reserve behind MVP Stephen Curry and All-Star guard Klay Thompson. Barbosa also has played for Toronto, Indiana, Boston and Phoenix again in 2013-14 before joining Golden State last summer.

Barbosa has averaged 11.4 points, 2.3 assists and 2.1 rebounds in his 12-year career.

Gasol signs his 5-year deal MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Memphis Grizzlies have signed All-Star center Marc Gasol to a multi-year contract, fulfilling the team’s top priority this offseason.

The team announced Gasol’s signing Monday after scheduling a Tuesday news

conference for a “major announcement.”

Although the Grizzlies didn’t release terms of the deal, The Associated Press previously reported Gasol agreed on a five-year maximum contract worth more than $100 million.

“For many years, Marc has been a pillar of our franchise and in a Memphis community that has watched him become one of the best basketball players in the world, so this is a great day for our team, our city and our fans across the Mid-South and worldwide,” general manager Chris Wallace said in a statement.

Gasol averaged 17.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.62 blocks this past season.

He set career highs for total points, scoring average, field goals made and attempted.

He scored 30 or more points five times, something he did only once through his first six seasons.

Suns ink Booker PHOENIX — The Phoenix Suns have signed first-round draft pick Devin Booker.

The 18-year-old out of Kentucky was the 13th overall pick in last month’s draft.

The Suns, who made the announcement Monday, are hoping Booker will add some much-needed outside shooting ability. The 6-foot-6 Booker, the youngest player available in the recent NBA Draft, was the sixth man for Final Four participant Kentucky last season, averaging 10 points and shooting 47 percent from the field, including 41 percent from 3-point range.
