Oklahoma’s unemployment rate continues to climb OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma’s unemployment rate is continuing to climb, reaching 4.5 percent last month with major losses in the retail-trade sector. The Oklahoma Employment Security Commission reported Tuesday the state’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in June increased for the third straight month. It jumped two-tenths of 1 percent from 4.3 percent in May. The commission reported Oklahoma shed a total of 2,100 jobs last month, with more than half of those in the retail-trade sector. Another 900 jobs were lost in the local, state and federal government. Oklahoma actually saw an increase of about 100 jobs in the oil and gas sector and 1,000 new construction jobs. Oklahoma’s unemployment rate was still well below the national average of 5.3 percent last month.
AAA:Oklahoma pump prices highest so far this year OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — AAA Oklahoma says gasoline prices in the state have moved higher over the last few days and are now at the highest level so far this year. AAA says the state average for self-serve regular gas stands at $2.64 per gallon, the highest price average since Nov. 22. AAA spokesman Chuck Mai says the price spike is contrary to what is happening in other parts of the country. The national average has been moving steadily downward, dropping more than two cents in the past week to $2.75 per gallon. Gas prices in the central U.S. began to jump last week along areas serviced by the Magellan pipeline. Refinery problems forced

Keylee’s stand against cancer By Vicky O. Misa Vicky.misa@news-star.com
Keylee Landes has a heart for helping others. At the tender age of six, while she was on vacation at Disney World, she had a very brief, yet unforgettable encounter with a little girl who had cancer. Keylee said she was very sad when she saw the girl in a wheelchair at the park. She went over to
talk to her, but instead had to speak to her mother, because young Melanie was to weak to talk. Keylee and her mom, Katie Landes, were quite impacted by the exchange. Since that trip Keylee has been searching for ways to help children with cancer. “It’s nice to let cancer patients know that people love KEYLEE, Page 5A

ATM SAFETY
Police: $400 crime of opportunity By Kim Morava Kimberly.morava@news-star.com Twitter: @Kim_NewsStar
Shawnee police are warning those who use automatic teller machines to practice safety after a suspect got away with $400 in what was a crime of opportunity. Shawnee Police Detective Ronnie
Wilson said a woman tried to make a withdrawal from an ATM in town. She entered too much and then drove off from the area. “The ATM gave her the opportunity to try again,” he said. A male suspect drove up, saw the open screen and was able to enter and take $400, Wilson said.
As part of the ongoing investigation, Wilson worked to identify the suspect so that case can be referred to the district attorney’s office. This incident has prompted police to remind those who use ATMs to watch around them and to ensure the screen is cleared out before driving away.

Senate negotiators reach highway bill deal; action delayed WASHINGTON (AP) — With a deadline looming for a cutoff of highway aid to states, Senate Republicans failed Tuesday to muster enough votes to take up a bill that would extend transportation programs for six years. Democrats complained

Country music stars Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert announced their divorce after four years of marriage Monday and it appears while they never appeared in a Shawnee courtroom, their divorce was reportedly granted in Pottawatomie County District Court. A filing involving B.T.S. vs. M.L.S. was filed in Pottawatomie County earlier this month and a divorce was officially granted in that case on Monday, court records show, but everything in that case is under seal. Pottawatomie County zen said because the case is sealed she couldn’t confirm if the filing indeed involves the well-known country music duo. “We have no divorce under their name,” she said. Ueltzen said she received calls all day Tuesday from media around the U.S., including Entertainment Tonight and Access Hollywood. Some of those callers were asking how to file motions in an attempt to unseal the alleged divorce papers, she said. The couple did release a statement to The Associated Press, which was issued by their representatives. “This is not the future we envisioned,” the former couple said in the statement. “And it is with heavy hearts that we move forward separately. We are real people, with real lives, with real families, friends and colleagues. Therefore, we kindly ask for privacy and compassion concerning this very personal matter.”

Missing Talala man found dead in southeastern Oklahoma ANTLERS, Okla. (AP) — A 27-year-old man has been arrested after a Talala man missing for almost a month was found dead in southeastern Oklahoma. According to the Rogers County Sheriff’s Office, the body of 27-year-old Chazz Holly was found Sunday by family members. Sgt. Dave Walker said Holly’s body had apparently been dumped along a highway near Antlers in Pushmataha County. A cause of death has not been determined. Police arrested a suspect Monday on complaints of second-degree murder and kidnapping. Investigators say Holly was last seen in Tulsa and an investigation into his disappearance led authorities to Longview, Texas, where Holly’s pickup was found.
AAA warns of heat dangers OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — AAA Oklahoma says motorists should beware of the dangers of being inside a parked vehicle outdoors as summer temperatures and humidity continue to rise. Young children and pets are especially susceptible to the heat because their bodies do not have the same internal temperature control as an adult’s. In fact, for the most part, dogs and cats can’t even sweat. A study by General Motors shows it takes just 10 minutes for the temperature inside a sun-drenched vehicle to warm up by 19 degrees. In 30 minutes, it can rise as much as 34 degrees.
Developer pulls rezoning request TULSA, Okla. (AP) — A company has withdrawn a rezoning request of private property for an outlet mall, but it says that it remains committed to bringing such a development to the Tulsa area. Michael Covey, chairman of the Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission, says the attorney for Simon Property Group asked the commission on Monday to remove the zoning change from consideration. Covey tells the Tulsa World that a reason wasn’t given for the withdrawal. The developer’s director of public relations, Les Morris, says that the company is studying other options at the time. The Tulsa Premium Outlets project was estimated to add $4 million to $5 million each year in sales tax revenue to the city of Tulsa’s budget. The proposed site was on private property near Turkey Mountain.
Questioning of potential jurors begins TULSA, Okla. (AP) — A judge is questioning nearly 60 citizens for possible service on a grand jury to investigate whether Tulsa County Sheriff Stanley Glanz neglected his duties and whether reserve deputies who gave gifts to the agency were given special treatment. District Judge Rebecca Nightingale began questioning the potential jurors Tuesday in a process that’s closed to the public. On Monday, Nightingale excused six potential jurors after they expressed concerns they couldn’t serve on the panel for personal reasons. A petition drive calling for the grand jury was prompted by the April 2 fatal shooting of an unarmed man by ex-volunteer deputy Robert Bates. Bates is a close friend of Glanz’s, has donated thousands of dollars in cash, cars and equipment to the agency and was the sheriff’s’ campaign manager in 2012.

Stillwater OKs new rules for oil, gas drilling STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Leaders in Stillwater approved new rules this week for oil and gas drilling within the city to the disappointment of industry representatives. The vice president of regulatory affairs at the Oklahoma Independent Petroleum Association says the city council’s approval on Monday of a new ordinance is “essentially a ban� on oil and gas drilling in the city. The measure applies only to new wells. It imposes a 660-foot setback from the property line of “protected use� properties, which includes homes, churches, parks and schools. The ordinance also sets noise limits, requiring that ambient noise from drilling operations at the setback boundary be limited to 69 decibels, which is about the same noise level as a vacuum cleaner.
Oklahoma agency offers reward in case of missing Geary man OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is offering a reward for information that identifies the person who killed a Geary man. The OSBI said Tuesday that DNA from biological
evidence inside Ed Foreman’s home identified Foreman as the victim of a deadly attack in March. But the 53-year-old’s body has never been found. Foreman’s 2006 pickup truck was missing at the time Foreman disappeared, and a man was seen driving his truck around the time he was killed. The truck was found several weeks later near Foreman’s home and investigators have recovered several items of evidence from the vehicle. Investigators have searched the area and developed new leads in Oklahoma and Texas. The OSBI is now offering up to $5,000 for information that leads to the killer’s arrest and conviction.
Earthquakes continue across Oklahoma ENID, Okla. (AP) — Several earthquakes have been recorded in northern Oklahoma following quakes registered as magnitude 4.4 and 4.0. The U.S. Geological Survey recorded five earthquakes in the Enid area ranging from magnitude 3.0 to 3.5 between shortly after midnight until about 6:15 a.m. Tuesday. The quakes come after 4.4 and 4.0 magnitude quakes were recorded in the same area Monday afternoon. No injuries or severe damage is reported.

Off-duty Midwest City officer kills man in in-law’s home CHOCTAW, Okla. (AP) — Police in Choctaw say an off-duty Midwest City police officer shot and killed a man who had apparently broken into the home of the officer’s in-laws. Choctaw Police Chief Connie Clay told reporters that the officer was checking on the home because his in-laws are away and he found the door open and the home ransacked. Clay said the off-duty officer entered the home where he was met by a man with a gun and the officer shot and killed the man. The names of the off-duty officer and the dead man have not been released. Choctaw police and Oklahoma County deputies are investigating the shooting.
Chickasaw Cultural Center celebrates 5 years of sharing SULPHUR, Okla. (AP) — The Chickasaw Nation is celebrating five years of sharing the tribe’s culture and tradition at the Chickasaw Cultural Center. More than 365,000 guests from around the world have experienced the story of the Oklahoma-based Chickasaw Nation. The Chickasaw Cultural Center’s 109-acre campus has hosted international guests as well as local school children. More than 39,000 visitors have experienced the exhibit titled: “Dugout Canoes: Paddling through the Americas.� The exhibit, which is open until Sept. 27, features American dugouts from ancient times to the present. It features a 400-year-old pine dugout canoe and paddle as well as ancient dugouts found in a Florida lake. A special exhibit features historical tribal beadwork from pre-European contact.

FEMA extends disaster period for June flooding, storm damage OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Federal Emergency Management Agency has extended the timeframe for eligibility for disaster assistance due to last month’s flooding and storm damage to public and private property. Gov. Mary Fallin said Tuesday FENA extended the cutoff date for eligibility from June 4 to June 22 for both individual and public assistance to reflect damage to public and private property. The Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management made the request last week because the state was besieged by severe weather for more than two months. In May, the state experienced more than 25 tornadoes, baseball-size hail and record-breaking rainfall, setting the stage for multiple rounds of flooding and other damaging severe weather that followed.
NEW GUIDELINES
Oklahoma National Guard soldiers, airmen allowed to carry weapons OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Oklahoma National Guard is finalizing guidelines to allow soldiers and airmen at recruiting stations and other facilities across the state to carry firearms, a Guard spokesman said Tuesday. Guard officials are identifying members who would be eligible to carry a government-issued sidearm following Gov. Mary Fallin’s executive order last week after the shooting deaths of four Marines and a sailor at a facility in Chattanooga, Tennessee. “Within that group of eligible soldiers who are permitted to carry a weapon, then we’ll identify the most qualified within that group and arm soldiers based on need at the various facilities and the storefront recruiting stations,� said Col. Max Moss, a spokesman for the Oklahoma National Guard. Fallin’s executive order last week authorized Oklahoma’s Adjutant General Maj. Gen. Robbie Asher to arm full-time military personnel at military installations across Oklahoma. “Our soldiers and airmen greatly appreciated Governor Fallin’s immediate response to better ensure their safety in the wake of
the tragedy in Chattanooga,� Asher said in a statement. Republican governors in Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Louisiana and Texas also have authorized the arming of guardsmen in those states. The Oklahoma National Guard operates three storefront recruiting centers in Oklahoma City, two in Tulsa and one each in Lawton, Midwest City and Norman. The Guard also maintains armories in several communities in Oklahoma, as well as Armed Forces Reserve Centers, which operate in conjunction with military reserve units, in Broken Arrow, Enid, Lawton, McAlester, Muskogee, Mustang and Norman. Some of the military facilities already have restricted access and employ full-time security guards, Moss said. “We are carefully examining what force protection and security measures we need to take at all our facilities,� Moss said. Moss said military officials are primarily considering military-issued sidearms and ammunition, but he said they may develop guidelines for certain soldiers to carry privately owned weapons.

Last year, on her seventh birthday, she donated her long blond tresses to Locks of Love, a non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to children experiencing medical hair loss. She’s at it again. She wanted to do something fun, inexpensive and easy. This time the enterprising 8-year-old is embracing an old school method of fundraising. With the summer heat, it just seemed natural to have a lemonade stand. On Friday at noon, she will set up her booth at her mom’s business, Action Physical Therapy, 2506 N. Harrison in Shawnee. She will donate all of the proceeds to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Keylee said she’s been planning this venture for a while. She said she’s been waiting for the temperatures to get hot. She first set a date for July 3, but got rained out. When Keylee went to purchase a banner for her event, and Charlene Grass, of Signworks, found out what it was for, she ended up donating the banner to help the cause. “I just thought it was so awesome that she’s only eight years old and that she wants to do that. It’s nice that she was thinking of other people,” Grass said. Grass has experienced cancer in her family through two aunts, one of which survived. “I felt in my heart that if she (Keylee) can do this, I should do something,” she said.

years, it contains only enough money — about $47 billion, according to a list of offsets supplied by McConnell’s office — to close the current funding gap for transportation programs for three years. The government currently spends about $50 billion a year on highway and transit aid, but the federal gas tax and other transportation taxes and fees raise only about $35 billion a year. Some Republicans also expressed unhappiness with the bill. Banking Committee Chairman Richard Shelby, R-Ala., said he objected to one of its money-raising provisions that would reduce the dividend that the Federal Reserve pays to member banks, worth $16.3 billion. “You’re taking money and there’s no connection between small banks, medium-sized banks and building highways and transit and you’re going to weaken the banking system. I’d be against that,” he told reporters. The banking provision is the biggest source of money in the legislation to pay for transportation programs, according to a list provided by McConnell’s office. Another $9 billion would come from the sale of oil from the Strategic Oil Reserve, the nation’s energy stockpile for emergencies. Indexing customs fees to rise with inflation would raise $4 billion. Extension of Transportation Security Administration fees paid by airline passengers would raise another $3.5 billion. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., called the bill “a black hole.” He said Democrats have been told changes have been made to auto, trucking and rail safety provisions that were agreed to last week on a party-line vote by the Senate commerce committee, but no details were provided before the vote. Some Democrats have described the provisions as giveaways to industry that
Church Scott Schooler said he was approached on Sunday by Keylee and she rallied for help with ice, which he said he was happy to do. Being a two-time cancer survivor himself, Schooler said the project was something that tugged at his heart. He said he later discovered from his wife that Keylee was planning to use her own birthday money for the event. Of Keylee’s project Schooler said, “Incredible. What an example.” According to Keylee’s Facebook page, Timmy Young posted that “Honey’s Snow Cone is supporting Keylee’s efforts by offering each customer a coupon for a free snow cone with your purchase. Let’s all support this unselfish young lady as she leads another generation in charitable giving and philanthropy. Everyone has lost someone who battled cancer but keep supporting the battle to find a cure.” Katie Landes said that Sonic at Hardesty and U.S. 177 donated cups and Shawnee coach Billy Brown will bring an ice trailer and canopy for the event. She also said the lemonade stand will stay open until supplies run out. If you want to help and can’t make it on Friday, there are other options available.

would undermine safety. The Obama administration said it was closely reviewing the bill with an eye toward whether it includes adequate safety protections, but offered no concrete position on whether President Barack Obama would be willing to sign it. Safety advocates poring over the bill text late Tuesday said some of the controversial provisions were “tweaked,” but remain in the bill. One provision allows some states to effectively reduce the eligible age for an interstate commercial truck driving license from 21 to 18. The trucking industry says more drivers are needed to relieve a shortage. The bill would also prevent the public from seeing the government’s safety ratings of truck and bus companies. The trucking industry says the government’s methodology for the ratings is flawed. Congress faces a July 31 deadline to act. That’s when authority for transportation programs expires, eliminating the Transportation Department’s ability to process promised highway and transit aid payments to states. But simply renewing the department’s authorization isn’t enough. Without an infusion of cash, the balance in the federal Highway Trust Fund is forecast to drop by the end of the month below $4 billion, the minimum cushion needed to keep money flowing to states without interruption. The House last week passed its own $8 billion bill keep transportation programs going until Dec. 18 while lawmakers try to work out a longer-term funding plan. But McConnell has said that he wants to pass a bill that keeps programs going at least through next year’s presidential election, if not longer. “I think the Senate should take up our shortterm bill as is, and pass that,” House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., told reporters.

DNA from construction vest, money trail links suspect to slayings of DC family WASHINGTON (AP) — DNA from a man accused in the slayings of wealthy Washington family and their housekeeper was found on a construction vest inside a car stolen from the family’s home, and a man driving the car was seen wearing a similar vest in the aftermath of the slayings, a detective testified Monday. A judge cited the DNA and other evidence against 34-year-old Daron Wint in finding probable cause that he committed first-degree murder and ordered him
held without bond pending further court proceedings. Wint is charged in the deaths of Savvas Savopoulos; his wife, Amy; their 10year-old son, Philip; and a housekeeper, Veralicia Figueroa. Police believe the Savopouloses and their housekeeper were held captive for 18 hours before they were slain in the early afternoon of May 14 after the delivery of a $40,000 ransom. Their mansion was then set on fire. Wint was arrested a week after the slayings.
The lead investigator on the case, Detective Jeffrey Owens, also testified Monday that, according to their autopsies, Savvas Savopoulos and Figueroa had been strangled. Police had said previously that all four victims were beaten and stabbed. Wint was arrested in Washington while riding in a car with three other people. A box truck was being driven alongside that vehicle, and a brother of Wint was a passenger in that truck, according to
testimony. Police recovered more than $30,000 in cash and money orders from the two vehicles, including $20,000 from the truck, and Wint’s brother told police that Wint had given him the money, Owens said. No one else has been charged in the slayings, even though police have said they believe Wint did not act alone. “It’s our belief more than one person was involved because of the amount of people in the home,” Owens said.

Make olive oil a kitchen staple You may be surprised to learn that cooking with olive oil is a simple way to add heart-healthy “good” fats to your diet. In fact, the health benefits, flavor and versatility of olive oil are all good reasons that olive oil is a staple in many kitchens. Not only can you replace other oils in recipes with olive oil (or extra virgin olive oil for added flavor), in many recipes you can also replace butter with olive oil to reduce saturated fat, cholesterol and calories. Studies show that your body absorbs nutrients from greens and vegetables better when they are consumed with a monounsaturated fat such as olive oil. This recipe below will help you enjoy a healthier version of a decadent dessert. Learn more at aboutoliveoil.org.

WORD TO THE WISE Marmalade: Marmalade is a fruit preserve that is most often spread on toast. It is made with citrus fruit, sugar, water and added pectin when needed. British marmalade, much of which is made in Dundee, Scotland, is bittersweet, whereas the American-made version is just plain sweet. The Seville orange is widely used to make British marmalade, as it is higher in pectin than a regular orange and helps the marmalade to set naturally once pectin is released by boiling the fruit and sugar.

ade with only a handful of ingredients, this summery salad is incredibly easy to prepare and makes a spectacular presentation. Make it when tomatoes are in season and at their peak. Cut them into cubes or bite-size chunks and toss gently with the other ingredients so they keep their shape. Also, don’t get carried away with crumbling the feta. The cheese, which adds its distinctive salty taste to the salad, should be in small pieces. To be sure the flavor balance is right, taste a spoonful of the salad before serving and make any last minute adjustments if needed.

As a young bride, I wasn’t a very good cook, so when I decided to enter the Pillsbury Bake-Off in 1963, it became a joke with friends and family. Much to their surprise, I won my first trip to the Bake-Off with my one entry and was a finalist in five more Pillsbury Bake-Offs.

SEMINOLE STATE
SSC alum discusses challenges as current administrative assistant She may work behind the scenes, but she plays an essential role at Seminole State College. For the past 15 years, Mechelle Downey has served as administrative assistant to Dr. James Utterback, President of Seminole State College. Downey worked at First United Bank in Seminole for seven years as a loan assistant before joining the SSC team. “I enjoy my position at Seminole State College because of the variety of duties I have. There’s never a dull moment,” she said. Elaborating on her responsibilities, she explained, “I serve as the secretary for the SSC Board of Regents – coordinating meetings, handling their correspondence and scheduling their professional development training. If they need anything, I am there to help them.” Downey is active in the national Association of Community College Trustees. She is currently president of the ACCT Professional Board Staff Network, a group closely associated with the Trustees organization. She will host the group this Fall when they meet in San Diego, California in conjunction with ACCT. “Seminole State has the best Board of Regents. They are very supportive of the College and the things we do here.” she said, in comparing them to other Trustees across the nation. Downey was reared on
a small acreage in Saint Louis, attending school there through the eighth grade. She went to high school in Maud where she graduated because her hometown school was only grades K-8. After graduating in 1984, she attended Oklahoma State University in Stillwater for two years before returning home and taking classes at SSC where she earned her Associate Degree. Recently, she earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Applied Technology from Rogers State University in Claremore. Downey said what’s most challenging about her job is “juggling tasks that need to be done.” “Handling upset parents can be a touchy thing because of Federal laws. Often, by the time they call the President’s office they are thoroughly upset. Sometimes they just need someone to listen to them. I am glad to be that person,” she said. Downey said what she enjoys most about her job “are the people across campus.” “Seminole State College has such a family-oriented atmosphere. I also enjoy working with students by helping them achieve their educational goals. My job is very rewarding and I thank Dr. Utterback for the opportunity to be employed by SSC,” she continued. She works closely with Cindy Guinn, Administrative Assistant to Lana Reynolds, Executive Vice

President of Institutional Advancement at SSC. Because of their positions, Downey and Guinn also are involved with the Presidential Leadership Class at the College. She coordinates the scholarship program and often serves as a sponsor for their educational off-campus trips.
She acknowledges she works behind the scenes and that is fine with her. So many people have no idea what all she really does, but she likes it that way. Downey and her husband Mike have been married for 29 years. They reside on 20 acres near Bowlegs in Seminole County.
He owns Central Sheet Metal in Seminole and their 26-year-old son Stephen works with his dad. Their daughter Jessica, 24, is a second lieutenant in the Air Force stationed at Tinker Air Force Base. She graduated one year ago from the U.S. Air Force Academy.
They also have a granddaughter Nora, who is 18 months old. Downey said, “She is so much fun. I enjoy every minute I have with her.” In her spare time, Downey said, “I enjoy running, biking, swimming, spending time with my family and riding horses.”

Becoming a dad? Expect to gain 3 to 5 pounds, study suggests NEW YORK (AP) — Many men gain a new sense of responsibility and purpose when they become fathers. A new study suggests they also gain 3 to 5 pounds. The research wasn’t designed to prove fatherhood causes weight gain and raises more questions than it answers. But one outside expert, while noting its limitations, said the research is provocative and should spark further study. Doctors pay attention to the weight gain of mothers — both before and after pregnancy. But the waistline of dads? That’s not on most doctors’ radar, said Tom Wadden, director of the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Weight and Eating Disorders. The study’s lead author — Dr. Craig Garfield of Northwestern University

— said he could only speculate about what’s behind the extra pounds. “For men who become fathers, their whole life changes,” Garfield said. They may sleep less, exercise less, and experience more stress — all of which can lead to weight gain, he said. It doesn’t help that the food selection at home may gradually change to include more things like “making

tracked the health of adolescents over two decades. The researchers focused on teen boys and young men, comparing weight changes in the 3,400 who became dads and the 6,800 who didn’t.
The researchers made statistical adjustments to iron out the potential influences on weight gain by other factors, like age and marriage. Simply by becoming a first-time dad, a typical
6-foot-tall man who lives with his child can expect to gain an average of about 4½ extra pounds, the study suggested. A same-sized man who does not live with his child can expect to gain nearly 3½ pounds.

Lawyer: Tennessee shooter’s uncle detained in Jordan since day after attack CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) — An uncle of the man who killed four Marines and a sailor in Tennessee has been in custody in Jordan since a day after the attacks on two military sites, a lawyer said Tuesday. Abed al-Kader Ahmad al-Khateeb told The Associated Press that he was barred from seeing his client and that family members were also prevented from visiting the detainee. Computers and cellphones were taken from the man’s home, but he has not been charged with anything, the attorney said. Al-Khateeb identified his client as Asaad Ibrahim Asaad Haj Ali, a maternal uncle of the Chattanooga attacker, Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez. A Jordanian official said Tuesday that he is sure the uncle and “other relevant people” in Jordan were being questioned, but he would not elaborate and or confirm that the uncle was detained. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case with the media. Abdulazeez spent several months in Jordan last year under a mutual agreement with his parents to help him get away from drugs, alcohol and a group of friends they considered to be a bad influence, according to a person close to his family. That person also spoke on condition of anonymity, out of concern it would have business repercussions.
Execution won’t come soon, if ever, even if shooter sentenced to die DENVER (AP) — The time has come for jurors to hear whether James Holmes should be executed for killing 12 people in a Colorado movie theater. But even if they choose death, Holmes could spend the rest of his life in prison awaiting capital punishment that never happens. Colorado has executed only one person in nearly half a century, and just three people sit on the state’s death row. The man closest to seeing his death sentence carried out was granted an indefinite reprieve in 2013 by the state’s Democratic governor, who said he had doubts about the fairness of the state’s death penalty system. “Capital punishment is on life support in Colorado,” Denver defense attorney Craig Silverman said. As a prosecutor, Silverman secured a death penalty verdict against a man for kidnapping and killing a woman in 1984. Sixteen years later, Frank Rodriguez died on death row from hepatitis C complications. “If you want a case that never dies, seek capital punishment and get a death verdict, and you’ll be working on it for the next 20 years,” Silverman said.
Bush besting Rubio in money race — but Clinton is beating them both MIAMI (AP) — Florida’s presidential primary is nine months away, but the state’s influential donors are already speaking with their wallets. So far the news is better for Jeb Bush than for Marco Rubio in the Republican money race between home-state heavyweights — but it’s even better for Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton. Former Gov. Bush’s campaign drew nearly $1 million more than Sen. Rubio’s — and in two months’ less time — according to an Associated Press analysis of Federal Election Commission records that most presidential candidates filed last week. They cover fundraising activity from April through the end of June, but Bush didn’t join the race until June 15. In all, Florida donors wrote checks totaling more than $8.6 million to the major Democratic and Republican presidential candidates, according to the AP review of all donors who listed addresses in Florida and gave more than $200. That represents
more than 10 percent of the nationwide total of donations over $200 reported last week by presidential candidates, and offers one window into which candidates have an early advantage in the high-profile swing state. Clinton —one of 16 candidates included in the analysis— grabbed more than onethird of all Florida cash, about $3 million. Bush’s campaign raked in at least $2.6 million; Rubio’s collected almost $1.8 million. The numbers may be dry, but their impact can be large.
Trump encourages supporters to jam rival’s cell phone as GOP feud escalates BLUFFTON, S.C. (AP) — Donald Trump pushed back ever harder Tuesday against Republicans fed up with his provocations, disclosing one opponent’s cell number in a fiery speech and lowering flags to half-staff on his properties as part of an in-your-face escalation of the feud. Fellow GOP presidential contender Sen. Lindsey Graham called him a “jackass,” only to see floods of Trump supporters jam his phone line after Trump read Graham’s number to an audience. Trump is now at odds with much of the Republican establishment after a series of incendiary comments, topped by his weekend mocking of Arizona Sen. John McCain’s experience as a tortured prisoner of war in Vietnam. Since then the real estate developer and reality TV host has intensified his criticism of McCain and his record on veterans issues in the Senate, even as politicians from both parties and veterans groups have rushed to McCain’s defense. In a speech to hundreds of supporters in Bluffton, South Carolina, on Tuesday, Trump kept on McCain, accusing him of being soft on illegal immigration.
Ohio Gov. Kasich brings blunt ways, strong resume COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Saying “big ideas change the world,” Ohio Gov. John Kasich declared his candidacy for the Republican nomination Tuesday and pitched his well-rounded resume to voters who have a multitude of high achievers to size up. Kasich, 63, launched his campaign at Ohio State University before a crowd of 2,000 at an event marking the entry of a strong-willed and sometimes abrasive governor in a nomination race now with 16 notable Republicans. “I am here to ask you for your prayers, for your support, for your efforts because I have decided to run for president,” Kasich said in a scattered 43-minute speech packed with family anecdotes, historical references and calls for national renewal. A veteran congressman as well as governor, Kasich is telling voters he is the only GOP candidate with experience in three broad areas of political leadership — the federal budget, national security and state government. He also spent nearly a decade at Lehman Brothers. “I have the experience and the testing,” he said, “the testing which shapes you and prepares you for the most important job in the world and I believe I know how to work and help restore this great United States.”
World mayors at Vatican: Climate change is real, man-made and must be contained VATICAN CITY (AP) — Mayors from around the world declared Tuesday that climate change is real, man-made and must be stopped as a matter of moral imperative, gathering at the Vatican to announce new measures to fight global warming and bask in Pope Francis’ ecological star power. The Vatican invited the 60 mayors to a two-day conference to keep up pressure on world leaders ahead of U.N. climate
negotiations in Paris later this year. The meeting also aimed to promote Francis’ environment encyclical, which denounced what he calls a fossil fuel-based world economy that exploits the poor and destroys the Earth. One by one, the mayors lined up to sign a final declaration stating that “humaninduced climate change is a scientific reality and its effective control is a moral imperative for humanity.” Francis told the gathering that he had “a lot of hope” that the Paris negotiations would succeed, but also warned the mayors: “You are the conscience of humanity.” Experts have long said that cities are key to reducing global warming since urban areas account for nearly three-quarters of human emissions. Mayor after mayor made an individual plea Tuesday for the world to change its ways.
Deadly bombing shows Turkey as particularly vulnerable target for Islamic State extremists ISTANBUL (AP) — Officials have raised concerns that a deadly bombing in southeastern Turkey is part of a campaign of retaliation by the Islamic State group for a recent crackdown on its operations in the country. If they are right, Turkey would be a particularly vulnerable target for the extremists. The country shares a 1,250-kilometer (775-mile) border with Iraq and Syria, putting it nearby to strongholds of the selfproclaimed Islamic State. And, as recent arrests show, the extremist group already has established its reach into Turkey. In an intensified crackdown, Turkish officials say they have detained more than 500 people suspected of working with IS in the last six months. An operation this month netted 21 terrorism suspects in an investigation of recruitment networks in multiple parts of the country, the officials said. The moves suggest an attempt to dismantle an entrenched presence inside Turkey. And authorities fear that Monday’s bombing in the town of Suruc that killed 32 people and wounded nearly 100 is a warning by the extremists against such a campaign.
Wisconson jobs agency dogged by allegations of shoddy lending, political influence WASHINGTON (AP) — After declaring an economic emergency, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s newly created economic development agency backed a plan to turn dirty plastic forks and ketchup-stained napkins into jobs. The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation awarded $1.2 million in grants and loans in 2011 and 2012 to Green Box NA Green Bay LLC, a company that said it could produce recycled products, electricity and even diesel from fast-food waste. “Gov. Walker and I are firmly committed to doing everything possible to expedite the processing and awarding of this incentive award,” then-agency Chief Executive Paul Jadin wrote in a September 2011 letter to Green Box. There were warning signs. Green Box told the state that the company and its founder, Ron Van Den Heuvel, had no recent legal troubles. But court records showed that Van Den Heuvel had been sued 27 times in the prior five years by banks, business partners, state tax officials and even a jeweler. Green Box said it held seven patents, but the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office lists no patents granted or assigned to Van Den Heuvel or the company. Four years later, the 116 jobs the company promised to create don’t exist, according to a recent legal deposition of Van Den Heuvel, though in another setting the company has said it created all 116 jobs. Green Box is in court-ordered receivership, and its attorney told a court that sheriff’s deputies had seized five
ECONOMY
Unemployment rates fell in 21 US states in June, rose in 12 WASHINGTON (AP) — Unemployment rates fell last month in 21 U.S. states and were unchanged in 17, as widespread job growth and a shrinking workforce reduce the ranks of those out of work. The figures point to widespread improvement in the nation’s job market. There is also evidence that the falling unemployment rates in many states could be boosting wage growth, according to an analyst note, a trend that could emerge at the national level. The Labor Department said Tuesday that unemployment rates rose in 12 states. Employers added jobs in 31 states and cut them in 17, with little change in the remaining two states. The figures reflect steady
hiring nationwide. Employers added 223,000 jobs in June, and the U.S. unemployment rate fell to 5.3 percent from 5.5 percent. Yet last month’s rate decline occurred because some of the unemployed gave up looking for work. The jobless aren’t counted as unemployed unless they are actively searching for work. The proportion of U.S. adults in the workforce — defined as those with jobs or looking for work — declined last month to the lowest level in 38 years, according to the government’s jobs report, released earlier this month. Just 62.6 percent of people 16 and over are in the workforce, the government said. That’s down from 66 percent before the recession.
Nebraska has the lowest unemployment rate, at 2.6 percent, while West Virginia has the highest, at 7.4 percent. New York gained 25,500 jobs last month, the most of any state, followed by 23,000 in California and 16,000 in Texas. The unemployment rate fell to 5 percent in the Midwest, from 5.1 percent in May, and 5.3 percent in the South, from 5.4 percent. Unemployment in the Northeast declined to 5.4 percent from 5.6 percent. Only the West reported an unchanged rate, at 5.8 percent. Smaller workforces helped lower unemployment rates in many states last month, including Connecticut, Florida and New Jersey. Unemployment rates in 31 states are now at 5.5
percent or below, a range that the Federal Reserve considers full health. That suggests employers will have to pay higher wages to attract workers, given the dwindling supply of unemployed. The lower unemployment rates in many states are already starting to push up wage growth, according to research released Tuesday by David Mericle, an economist at the investment firm Goldman Sachs. States with unemployment rates that are at or near full health have seen their average hourly pay levels grow more quickly than other states, according to Mericle. And states with steeper drops in their unemployment rates in the past year have also experienced better wage growth.

Texas jail where woman died acknowledges breaking rules on training, inmate monitoring HEMPSTEAD, Texas (AP) — The operators of a Texas jail where a black woman died after she was arrested in a traffic stop have acknowledged violating state rules on guard training and the monitoring of inmates. The Waller County Jail, about 60 miles northwest of Houston, is under investigation in the death of Sandra Bland, a Chicago-area woman whose family disputes authorities’ finding that she hanged herself with a plastic garbage bag in her cell. The Texas Commission on Jail Standards last week cited the jail for not providing documents proving that jailers in the past year had undergone training on interacting with inmates who are mentally disabled or potentially suicidal. The citation also showed that jailers fell short by not observing inmates in person at least once every hour. The sheriff’s office said Friday in a statement that jailers checked on the 28-year-old Bland via intercom on one occasion rather than in person.
Flooding that washed out interstate bridge in California also eroded soil under other spans LOS ANGELES (AP) — The damage to interstate highway bridges from flash flooding in Southern California’s desert over the weekend proved more widespread than initially thought, with construction crews working Tuesday to reinforce spans over three gullies. In light of the damage, some outside engineers warned that the California Department of Transportation may need to adopt tougher design and protection standards for highway bridges, particularly with abnormally heavy rains possible in the coming months because of the ocean-warming phenomenon known as El Nino. Flooding touched off by unusually intense rainfall of nearly 7 inches Sunday washed away boulders and soil under an elevated portion of Interstate 10 near the town of Desert Center, about 50 miles from the Arizona state line, causing the collapse of the eastbound side of the bridge and severely weakening the westbound side. One person was hospitalized with broken ribs, a shattered knee and lacerations to his liver, and the main highway between Los Angeles and Phoenix was severed, forcing 54,000 daily vehicles to take a several-hours detour. After the collapse, Caltrans inspectors found erosion under two other I-10 bridges a few miles to the west, and workers labored to reinforce all three spans by pouring more concrete and replacing the protective boulders that were swept away, said Mike Beauchamp, a Caltrans deputy district director.

Yellow flowers light up the environment, attracts pollinators By Becky Emerson Carlberg
Have you noticed an abundance of yellow flowers blooming this time of year? Yellow sneezeweed/ bitterweed, Golden Coreopsis/tickseed, Black-Eyed Susan, the Evening Primrose Night Willow Herb, the Partridge Pea, and the first group of sunflowers are lighting up the environment. One species of Helenium sneezeweed was chosen as an Oklahoma Proven plant in 2013. The little plant resembles a bouquet of small yellow blossoms on a stem and is a native of the south central US. The Native Golden Coreopsis has delicate but strong stems and thin leaves. These are soon followed by little brown buds which explode into yellow flowers with red centers that dance in the wind. Most people recognize the joyous native Blackeyed Susans and may have glimpsed the different species of Evening Primrose as they open up in the evening at sunset. The Partridge Peas, native to the Mississippi River basin, are wild legumes that can reach two feet in height and are now producing yellow flowers, each with a small splash of
red in the middle. My favorite is the native sunflower. Underneath one pine tree in my yard the Downy/Ashy Sunflower is blooming. These sunflowers have blue-green hairy leaves that clasp the equally hairy central stem. The lemon yellow “flower” (actually composed of two types of smaller flowers) tops the plant as does a star on a Christmas tree. Soon other species of native sunflowers will begin their blooming season that will extend the yellow flower display well into October. Why yellow? Specific colors attract pollinators. Bees see yellow as well as blue and ultraviolet, but can’t see red. They prefer a sturdy flower and many of the yellow flowers have a scent that bees can detect (bumblebees go for the sunflower.) Butterflies have poor senses of smell, but do see red and other bright colored flowers (Coreopsis and Partridge pea). Moths fly at night and go for light colored, highly scented flowers (Evening Primrose.) Birds are attracted to bright colors (hummingbirds love red), bats are another night pollinator (cacti flowers), and do not
forget flies, ants, beetles and other small critters that do their part. The flower color, structure, arrangement and other physical properties will determine the type of pollinator that will come to visit. Plants are smart. Those that are wind-pollinated hope for good breezes to send the pollen away. The others know in order to reproduce they must somehow attract an animal and transfer their pollen to the animal while rewarding the curious animal for its effort. The animal carries the pollen away to other similar flowers, which say thank you. Through the miracle of reproduction new life will soon be dispersed in the form of seeds. Our most numerous pollinators in Central Oklahoma during the summer are bees and wasps and certain butterflies. They fly to yellow and white, the two floral colors now most often seen in the wild. Go out and enjoy the splendid display of brightly colored flowers this summer, encouraged by the plentiful rainfall. If you yourself don’t want to be paid a visit by the pollinators, don’t wear yellow.

Woman offers home as prize ANTIOCH, Calif. (AP) — A Northern California woman is offering a sweet deal on her 1906 Craftsman home in Jackson. She’s trading it for a great dessert. The Contra Costa Times reports that Erin Allard is hosting a dessert contest with the 2,267-square-foot century-old home as the grand prize. The four bedroom, two bathroom home has been restored and is valued at $390,000.
She says she opted for the competition because it can take months to sell a home in rural Jackson. Allard, who is a licensed real estate agent, has spent weeks checking details and legalities to make sure the competition goes off without a problem. The contest will be judged by a panel of food experts. Those looking to apply have until Sept. 7 to submit a $100 entry fee and a million-dollar recipe.

cilantro or basil should do great. Tender greens like lettuce and spinach, will thrive. You may also be able to get a fall planting of Irish potatoes. The harvest won’t be as heavy as in the spring, but they can go great with a fall planting of green beans or peas. Plant the seed potatoes in deep furrows in late afternoon, cover the pieces with two inches of soil, wa-
ter and mulch with straw or other organic material. A bonus is that as the weather cools, chewing insects will be less of a problem. You can also start planting some of your semihardy vegetables now.

Sooners look to air it out in 2015 DALLAS (AP) — Bob Stoops is bringing back the kind of pass-happy offense to Oklahoma that he introduced to the Big 12. The Sooners hope that will help them win some more conference championships after a two-year drought that is the longest in Stoops’ 16 seasons. “A lot gives me optimism, a 17-year background,” Stoops said Tuesday, the
second day of Big 12 media days. “We’re just a year removed from being in the top 10 and winning the Sugar Bowl.” But the Sooners are coming off an 8-5 season capped by a 40-6 loss to Clemson in the Orange Bowl. They were 5-4 in Big 12 play, their most conference losses since going 3-5 in 1998, the year before Stoops arrived. They won
the 2000 national championship in his second season. “I look around the country. We’re probably not the only team that’s 8-5 or 7-6 and on and on and on. And I look at a track record of 12 of the last 15 years, we’ve had 10 or more wins,” Stoops said. “I don’t think anyone else has done that in the country with that kind of consistency,
and that doesn’t dissipate in a year.” Still, Oklahoma and Texas — which won the league’s last national championship a decade ago — are now chasing TCU and Baylor, the Big 12 co-champs from a year ago with their big-play ways and picked 1-2 in the league’s preseason poll this season.

Pelicans adding Perkins to 1-year deal NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Two people familiar with the negotiations say free-agent center Kendrick Perkins has agreed to a one-year contract with the New Orleans Pelicans. The people spoke to The Associated Press on Tuesday on condition of anonymity because the contract has not been announced by the club or Perkins’ representatives. The agreement was first reported by ESPN. The 6-foot-10 Perkins has spent 12 seasons in the NBA, the first seven in Boston, a stint that included an NBA championship in 2008. He was traded to Oklahoma City during the 2010-2011 season and last season played for the Thunder, the Cleveland Cavaliers and Toronto Raptors. Perkins holds career averages of 5.5 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.2 blocks. In New Orleans, Perkins is expected to take on a reserve role behind 7-foot starter Omer Asik.

DALLAS (AP) — College Football Playoff Executive Director Bill Hancock says the Big 12 is “smart to sit back and wait” over adding a conference championship game. Hancock said Tuesday at Big 12 media days that there was “no question” Ohio State benefited by winning the Big Ten championship over Wisconsin in a blowout that vaulted the Buckeyes into the inaugural four-team playoff. Ohio State beat Oregon for the national title. Baylor and TCU were the top two teams left out of the playoff after sharing the Big 12 championship. The 10-team league could add a title game if a rule requiring at least 12 teams is removed. Hancock said different outcomes in title games could have put both Baylor and TCU in the playoff, and Big 12 leaders “would have looked like a roomful of geniuses.”

REDEMPTION Stoops: Mixon deserves chance after arrest, suspension DALLAS (AP) — Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said Tuesday that reinstated running back Joe Mixon deserves a chance to redeem himself after being charged with punching a woman in the face. Asked at Big 12 media days why he hasn’t distanced himself from Mixon, Stoops quickly said violence toward women should never be tolerated. But he said the redshirt freshman, after serving a seasonlong suspension last year, has other standards to meet as well. If those standards are met, it’s the job of educational institutions to help Mixon and other players in similar situations, Stoops said. “In the end we felt that he’s been disciplined,” Stoops said later in a follow-up question about Mixon.
“He was removed totally from all team activities from that point on. And he’s earned a way to be back to have an opportunity for a second chance to redeem himself with strict guidelines that go with it.” Mixon was given a year of probation last October when he entered a plea in which he acknowledged there was likely enough evidence to convict him of misdemeanor assault while still asserting his innocence over the incident last summer at a restaurant in Norman, Oklahoma. Florida State freshman quarterback De’Andre Johnson was recently kicked off the team after video showed him punching a woman in the face in a bar. Another Seminoles player has been suspended indefinitely after a similar allegation.
Stoops said he was aware of other incidents around the country, but said he believed each situation was different. “I don’t know all of their circumstances,” Stoops said. “In our situation, we felt this was the right way to proceed.” With Mixon suspended last year, Oklahoma’s Samaje Perine led the Big 12 with 1,713 yards rushing as a freshman and tops the depth chart going into the season. Perine set a Football Bowl Subdivision record with 427 yards rushing against Kansas. “It’s hard to improve on where he was, but I believe he will,” Stoops said of Perine. “He’s such a great, great worker. Very humble guy that’s always hungry.”
Few changes are in store for area schools after the Oklahoma Secondary Schools Activities Association released its annual report of average daily membership numbers on Tuesday. The ADM, which is a measurement of the number of students enrolled in OSSAA member high schools, is used for classification purposes for athletics and other activities. Sports other than football are reclassified annually. Football is reclassified every two years, with a new reclassification for the 2016 and 2017 seasons due in August. The biggest bit of news for local schools didn’t actually happen. Tecumseh was initially classified in 5A for all sports when the report was released. However, 64 of Tecumseh’s 732.55 ADM was incorrectly counted, as the Central Oklahoma Juvenile Center, which operates as a charter school in the TPS district, does not count toward THS’s ADM. The Savages will continue to compete in 4A in all sports for the 2015-16 school year and will be in 4A in football for the 2016 and 2017 seasons. Two schools that will be changing classifications are Prague and Meeker. With an ADM of 318.37, Prague will be competing in Class 3A in football beginning with the 2016 season after spending the past two in 2A. The Red Devils will be in 3A in other sports.

Big 12 gets tougher on full-contact practice limit DALLAS (AP) — TCU defensive end James McFarland says defensiveminded coach Gary Patterson doesn’t need players hammering each other in pads every day to keep up the intensity in practice. “Matter of fact, he’s had more of his intense moments when people had nothing but shorts and helmets on because he feels like since we’re not hitting, you should do everything right,” said the senior returning sacks leader for the Horned Frogs. “He doesn’t have a different way of doing things if we have pads or we don’t have pads on.” McFarland mirrored what his coach said at media day Monday after the Big 12 announced that it was taking an NCAA rule limiting contact in practice
“...WE WANT TO KEEP OUR KIDS HEALTHY. FRESH SHOULDERS, FRESH LEGS, MEANS MORE PHYSICAL PLAYERS.” – Gary Patterson
a step further by allowing two tackling sessions per week, including a game. The national rule allows for a total of three full-contact sessions, game included. The Big 12 will allow two practices for players held out of games. Two full-contact workouts for the team are permissible in bye weeks. Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said the change came from a discussion with athletic directors, who talked to their coaches before approving the more stringent rule. Patterson said the tighter
restrictions won’t change the Frogs’ approach because they’ve had just one practice during game weeks for years. “There’s a false sense of we just try to bang our kids around,” said Patterson, whose physical coaching style has helped TCU lead the nation in defense five times since 2000. “I think all of us, we like keeping our jobs, and we want to keep our kids healthy. Fresh shoulders, fresh legs, means more physical players.” Patterson said most teams get the heavier
work done in the spring before turning the focus more to preservation during the regular season. And Bowlsby said that’s what administrators found as they considered the change, which was approved in the spring. “I don’t think that we’re going to find that this is a disadvantage,” Bowlsby said. “In fact, I think you may find that you have a healthier team in the second half of the season.” The NCAA defines fullcontact workouts as taking players to the ground or full-speed blocking. Drills involving players wrapping up but not tackling are considered non-contact. West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said he hasn’t conducted consecutive full-pad workouts in
“quite some time,” and hasn’t had two-a-day workouts in four years. Clint Trickett, Holgorsen’s quarterback last year, retired after revealing he had sustained five concussions over 14 months. He didn’t play again after getting knocked out of a 26-20 loss to Kansas State on Nov. 20. “The way the model is right now is something that I’ve supported and something that we’ve done at West Virginia since I got there,” Holgorsen said. Kansas State coach Bill Snyder, who brought the Wildcats into national prominence with a nononsense approach that emphasized defense, also said the tighter guidelines won’t alter his program’s approach.

Carter, Correa help Astros to win over Red Sox HOUSTON (AP) — Chris Carter hit a two-run homer and rookie Carlos Correa drove in two runs as the Houston Astros used a big fifth inning to roll to an 8-3 victory over Boston on Tuesday night, extending the Red Sox’s losing streak to six games. Rookie Vince Velasquez (1-1) allowed seven hits and three runs for his first career win in his seventh major league start. He was recalled from Double-A Corpus Christi on Tuesday. The Astros trailed by two before a four-run fifth where they scored two runs on an error before Correa’s ground-rule RBI double made it 4-3. An RBI single by Evan Gattis wrapped up the scoring in the fifth before Carter’s shot to the bullpen in right-center field extended the lead to 7-3 in

Mumme, and then it spread.” Now the Sooners just have to determine who their starting quarterback will be: returning starter Trevor Knight or transfer Baker Mayfield, who sat out last season after running a similar offense at Texas Tech. Baylor, which won the Big 12 title outright in 2013 and shared it last season even after beating the Horned Frogs, piled up 581 total yards per game last year — the second consecutive season the Bears led the NCAA and their fourth year in a row in the top two. They also had the nation’s top-scoring offense the past two years, 48.2 points per game last season after 52.4 in 2013. “We’ve kind of been on a mission, and our mission has been to create an

the sixth. Boston starter Brian Johnson (0-1) allowed three hits and four runs with four walks in 4 1-3 innings in his major league debut. He was 8-6 with a 2.73 ERA in 16 starts at Triple-A Pawtucket. Carter returned to the lineup after missing two games with a sprained right ankle. The designated hitter was in an 0-for-20 slump before a single in the fifth inning that was his first hit since July 3. He finished with two hits for the first multi-hit game since June 27 for the struggling slugger, who is hitting .190. Johnson had retired eight straight before Carter and L.J. Hoes hit consecutive singles with no outs in the fifth. Jake Marisnick grounded into a forceout and then stole second base.
The throw from catcher Ryan Hanigan bounced off his arm and into the outfield for an error to allow Carter and Marisnick to score and tie it at 3-3. Altuve drew a walk to chase Johnson. He was replaced by Justin Masterson, who plunked Marwin Gonzalez in the leg. Correa’s ground-rule double, which bounced into the stands down the right field line, scored Altuve to put Houston on top. An infield single by Gattis allowed Gonzalez to score and push the lead to 5-3. Correa, who has a career-long six-game hitting streak, put Houston up 1-0 with a sacrifice fly in the first. Velasquez struck out the side in the second before running into trouble in the third.
atmosphere of excellence, of championships,” Bears coach Art Briles said. “We just maintained a fence around our program, and we haven’t looked at anybody else.” The Bears have a new quarterback after the graduation of two-year starter Bryce Petty, though junior Seth Russell threw for 438 yards and five touchdowns in just one half in his only start last season. Baylor still returns eight offensive starters, including 1,000-yard receivers Corey Coleman and KD Cannon, along with nine defensive starters. Baylor and TCU were both left out of the first major college football playoff last season when both lost only one regularseason game. Briles knows a sure way to avoid another snub. “If we’d have gone 12-0, there’s no doubt we’re in there, and we’re rolling,” Briles said. “If we line up
and win 12 games this year, we’re going to be in the final four. I think you can put that in ink right now.” Oklahoma State is coming off a 7-6 season with one of the most inexperienced teams in the country, but coach Mike Gundy feels that Cowboys go into his 11th season with good young players and some depth. Charlie Strong knows that his 6-7 debut with the Longhorns last season “is not good enough. It will never be good enough at the University of Texas.” The Longhorns, who open the season Sept. 5 at Notre Dame, won three games in a row before a 48-10 loss to TCU in the regular-season finale and a 31-7 Texas Bowl loss to Arkansas. Iowa State was the only Big 12 team that failed to win a conference game last season, though the Cyclones are picked in the media preseason poll to finish ahead of Kansas.

Holliday’s grand slam sends Cardinals over Whtie Sox CHICAGO (AP) — Matt Holliday hit his sixth career grand slam, powering Michael Wacha and the St. Louis Cardinals past the Chicago White Sox 8-5 on Tuesday night. Holliday homered for the first time since May 12. He returned last Friday after missing 31 games because of a strained right quadriceps. Holliday connected in the fourth inning for his fourth homer. Mark Reynolds added a solo shot in the fifth. Wacha (11-3) gave up five runs in five innings. Trevor Rosenthal pitched the ninth for his 28th save in 30 chances. Stephen Piscotty, St. Louis’ top hitting prospect, made his major league debut playing left field. He had an infield single
in four at-bats and struck out twice. Yadier Molina drove in two runs and Matt Carpenter added an RBI for the Cardinals, swept by the White Sox in St. Louis three weeks ago. Carlos Rodon (3-3) was tagged for seven hits in four innings as the Cardinals built a 7-0 lead. Chicago lost its third in a row. White Sox rookie Tyler Saladino homered for the second straight game. He and Geovany Soto homered off Wacha in the fifth. Four Cardinals relievers combined for four scoreless innings, handing the White Sox their fourth loss in five games since the All-Star break. Carpenter ended an 0for-17 slump with an RBI single in the second.

SPORTS ROUNDUP
Peterson, Vikings agree to redo last 3 years of deal MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Adrian Peterson and the Minnesota Vikings agreed Tuesday to restructure the final three years of his contract, giving the six-time Pro Bowl running back $20 million in guaranteed money. The Vikings announced the agreement four days before players will report to training camp, clearing away any lingering haze that surrounded their relationship with Peterson. Initially disinterested in returning to the team following his reinstatement by the NFL, Peterson softened this spring and took part in several offseason practices with the Vikings last month. Peterson and his lead agent, Ben Dogra, didn’t appear to have any leverage in negotiations once Vikings general manager Rick Spielman stood firm in his intent to keep Peterson on the team rather than trade him. But despite the drama of the past several months, Peterson got the guaranteed money he sought, another sign of the organization’s widespread appreciation of him. In a statement distributed by the Vikings, Peterson said he was pleased by the team’s good-faith effort. On Twitter, he posted simply, “Amen,” next to an emoji of a pair of praying hands. “I appreciate the Vikings for working together on this restructured contract, which provides additional security for me but also allows opportunities for me to further prove my value to the team and within the NFL,” Peterson said in the statement. “It was important for me to continue my career in Minnesota, and I cannot wait to get on the field in front of Vikings fans again.” Peterson, out of action for all but one game last year because of the child abuse charge he faced involving his young son, came back from his personal conduct policy suspension with $45 million left on his existing contract. None of that money, however, was guaranteed.

to help the Washington Mystics beat the Tulsa Shock 76-69 on Tuesday. Emma Meesseman added 10 points for the Mystics (9-6), who won their third in a row. A 3-pointer by Natasha Cloud sparked a 12-4 Washington run and gave the Mystics the lead for good. Karima Christmas hit a 3-pointer with 1:02 to play, pulling Tulsa (10-8) within 70-67, but Meesseman answered with a layup and Kara Lawson had a steal and hit two free throws to give the Mystics a seven-point lead with 21 seconds left. Christmas led Tulsa with 15 points while Plenette Pierson scored 14 and Odyssey Sims added 11. Courtney Paris tied a career-high with 19 rebounds. Tulsa has lost four in a row, a losing skid perfectly dovetailing with the franchise’s plans to move to Dallas, announced this week.
UAB to resume playing football in 2017 BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — UAB football will take the field again in 2017 and remain an FBS program. Athletic director Mark Ingram said Tuesday that rifle will return in the upcoming season, while bowling will compete in 2016-17 and football in two years. UAB dropped all three sports in December to cut costs, then announced six months later that they would be reinstated. The NCAA cleared UAB to resume playing football in 2017 and continue competing in the Football Bowl Subdivision, Ingram said. “I am so excited that UAB football will return to FBS competition in 2017,” said Blazers football coach Bill Clark, whose current contract runs through 2016. “Like our fans, I wanted to light the scoreboard much sooner, but doing it right is more important than doing it fast, and this was our best option. “We want a program that is here to stay. We have to start by building a new, stronger foundation. We need to take our time to do it right, then we can compete for conference and bowl championships.” UAB supporters pledged enough money to cover
the projected $17 million cost to operate football over the next five years, plus millions more toward facility upgrades. The NCAA won’t subject UAB to FBS minimum scholarship numbers for three academic years beginning with 2015-16. The Blazers would be eligible immediately for postseason play and a Conference USA title if they qualify on the field. UAB was bowl-eligible for the first time in a decade last season, Clark’s debut.
Pacers to wear ‘Hoosiers’ uniforms in some 2015-16 games INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Hickory Huskers are coming to the NBA next season. The Indiana Pacers will celebrate the upcoming 30th anniversary of “Hoosiers” by wearing the maroon and gold uniforms that Jimmy Chitwood and the Huskers made famous in the beloved film. The Pacers said Tuesday that the Hickory uniforms will be worn in select 2015-16 games through a partnership with MetroGoldwyn-Mayer Studios, the company that debuted “Hoosiers” in 1986. The film, inspired by the small-town team from Milan that won the 1954 Indiana high school championship, was nominated for two Academy Awards and is regarded as one of sports’ best films. Pacers President Larry Bird says the team is honored to wear the uniforms “because of the attention it will bring to the storied history of Indiana basketball and the success of that movie.”

Sudoku
By FRANK STEWART Tribune Content Agency
In today’s deal (reported by Barry Rigal) from the ACBL Spring Championships, North-South would have had trouble beating East at four clubs, so South’s bid of four hearts was reasonable. East took the king of clubs and shifted to his singleton diamond. Declarer won, drew trumps and led a spade to dummy’s king. East played low (not best). South then ruffed a club, led a second spade ... and put up the queen.
and he bids two diamonds. What do you say? ANSWER: A rebid of three clubs would not be forcing, and you must make sure of reaching game. A jump to four clubs might work but would crowd the auction. You can’t support the spades at this point. Bid two hearts, a “fourth-suit” bid that doesn’t promise hearts but merely asks partner to continue describing his hand. North dealer Neither side vulnerable
DOWN ONE East took the ace and led another club. At that point, South was still alive, but he ruffed and had to lose two more tricks when diamonds broke 4-1. South should have made his game. He might have judged to play low from dummy on the second spade. (Then he could actually make an overtrick.) Moreover, when East led a club at Trick Nine, South could have succeeded by pitching a diamond. That play would “rectify the count” for a squeeze, and when South ruffed the next club and took his last trump, West wouldn’t be able to guard both spades and diamonds.
