Permits for handgun licenses in Okla. keep rising
Shaun Hittle
The number of Oklahomans
applying for handgun licenses in
2013 is on pace to significantly
best last year’s record numbers, according to data from the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.
Through the first six months
of 2013, nearly 37,000 license
applications have been received
by the OSBI, compared to about
46,000 for all of last year.
If the 2013 trend continues
through the end of the year, the
number of annual applications
will have nearly tripled since
2011, when 26,000 applied.
The permits allow Oklahoma
residents to carry a handgun in
public. In 2012, Oklahoma law
was expanded to permit the open
carry of a handgun in public,
whereas the previous law only allowed for the concealed carry of
handguns. Certain people, such
as felons and those being treated
for mental health problems, are
not eligible for the licenses.
It’s clear there’s an increased de-
mand for the licenses, but what’s
causing the jump is murkier.
“We don’t know what is spurring the need,” said Jessica
Brown, media spokeswoman
for the OSBI. “We don’t know
why it went up so much.”
Oklahoma isn’t alone in seeing a recent increase in handgun
and concealed carry permit ap-
plications, as state across the
county are reporting similar
spikes. Advocates, experts, and
some in law enforcement have
attributed the recent increases
to loosening handgun laws,
as well as high-profile firearm
events, such as the December
2012 shooting at an elementary
school in Newtown, Conn.
Altus Masonic Lodge
Action Award winner
Contributing their prize to
Altus Armed Services YMCA
The Masonic Charity Foundation of Oklahoma announced
that Altus Lodge No. 62, and Drumright Lodge No. 468 will
be honored with the 2013 Masonry in Action Award.
The Masonry in Action Award was created in 2013 to
recognize Oklahoma lodges who make outstanding effort
to care for their members, impact their communities, and
bring positive recognition to the Fraternity.
Applications were received from 21 Lodges, and were
scored based on participation in the Promises Matter,
Matching Funds, and Public Education programs of the
Foundation. Lodges competed in one of two divisions
based on the number of lodge members.
The winning lodges will be recognized with a $5,000 contribution made in their name to the community program of their
choice. The Altus lodge will present their gift to the Armed
Services YMCA on Aug. 1 at 11 a.m. on Altus Air Force Base.
Scott to hold book signing
at Hastings on Sunday
Joan Wilcoxen is seen here in the garden preparing for the Shortgrass Arts and Humanities Council’s 3rd annual Days

Days of Wine and Roses Gala this Saturday
The Shortgrass Arts and Humanities Council invites everyone
to support the arts at the 3rd annual Days of Wine and Roses Gala
in the Wilcoxens Gardens at 712
East Walker Street in Altus. The
event will be held this coming Saturday evening, July 13.
The festivities begin at 7
p.m., and will continue until 9
p.m. with wine tasting, hors de
oeuvres, musicians, storytelling and poetry reading from
Eddie Wilcoxen, Oklahoma
Poet Laureate Emeritus.
You are invited to stroll past
the numerous waterfalls, ponds
and fountains, and enjoy the
statuary garden features including the Fairy Queen, The Warrior
Chief, the Medicine Man, and The
Wheel. All of the larger than life
Native American statues were
hand painted by Joan Wilcoxen.
“There is a lot of shade, and
we’ve got fans, too, so please
come on out!,” said Eddie.
“You’re welcome to just find a
place to sit and relax. We look
forward to visiting with you!”
The gardens also feature an
original, full-sized Dallas Trolley
car. The Shortgrass Arts and Humanities Council is responsible
for bringing many events to the
area, including the annual Giddy
Up Gala, Festival of Trees, Glen
Miller Orchestra, Sweet Adelines
and Chautauqua.
Like any volunteer organization, the Shortgrass Arts and Humanities Council is always looking for more interested people
who enjoy the Arts and support
our local efforts to bring such
events to our community. Call
580-471-9733 for information
about becoming involved with
the Shortgrass Arts and Humanities Council, or better yet, come
visit in the garden during the Gala.
Local author Gary Scott of Childress, Texas will hold a book
signing at Hastings in Altus on Sunday, July 14 from 1 to 3 p.m.
Scott said that he hopes that his book “Out of the Ordinary - Thoughts from the Faith of an Ordinary Man” will
lead the reader to devotion and the study of God’s Word,
the Bible. The collection of thoughts and poems were
written after Scott decided to listen and pay attention to
what the Holy Spirit was saying to him.
Scott, 62, has held many jobs throughout his livetime,
and admits that he was an alcoholic from the age of 14
through 36 before giving his life over to Christ.
Scott’s favorite Bible passage is “Think of ways to
encourage one another to outburts of love and good
deeds,” Hebrews 10 v24.
Prayer meetings for rain continue on Sunday evenings
60431075
The Jackson County Ministerial
Alliance is sponsoring a community
prayer service for rain on Sunday
evenings at the Jackson County
Court House at 8 p.m. With Lake
Luggart at 15% of capacity and the
Tom Steed Reservoir at 30% the
need for rain has become critical for
every resident in the county. At a
recent meeting of the Ministerial Alliance, area pastors and church leaders acknowledged that at this point
we need a supernatural miracle to fix
our water problem. Kevin Baker, a local pastor and spokesperson for the
Ministerial Alliance stated, “We will
pray as a community every Sunday
evening until the drought breaks.”
Pastor Baker also encourages all local churches to continue to pray in
their respective church services and
then come join in the community service on Sunday evenings.
Southwest Oklahoma is no stranger to dry periods and our forefathers
before us often turned to God’s Word
such as 2 Chronicles 7:13-14 to remind them that God is our only answer to difficult problems. That passage of scripture says, “When I shut
up the heavens so that there is no
rain, or command locusts to devour
the land or send a plague among my
people, if my people, who are called
by my name, will humble themselves
and pray and seek my face and turn
from their wicked ways, then will I
hear from heaven and will forgive
their sin and will heal their land.”
David Player, President of the
Jackson County Ministerial Alliance encourages the community
to come and pray and bring an umbrella with you! For more informa- “Out of the Ordinary - Thoughts from the Faith of an Ordinary
Man” by Gary Scott

Correction
“Low Flying C5-Galaxy lands at Stripes”
The story that ran yesterday, Wednesday, July 10,
“Low Flying C5-Galaxy lands at Stripes” about a new
sign installed at Stripes on Falcon and N. Park Lane,
incorrectly identified the aircraft portrayed in the sign.
Retired Air Force C-5 Engineer, Ron Snyder, has confirmed the C-5 did not have winglet tips.
C-17 Globemaster III does have winglet tips, whereas
the C-5 does not. The sign at Stripes is a C-17 Globemaster III, the aircraft that pilots are currently being trained
to fly at AAFB.
We apologize for the error.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. —
Country music stars and
fans joined together to
urge prayers for Randy
Travis overnight as he
recovered from brain surgery following a stroke at
a Texas hospital.
Travis remained in
critical condition after
surgery Wednesday night
to relieve pressure on his
brain, publicist Kirt Webster said. The 54-year-old
Grammy Award-winning
singer had been improving while being treated
for heart failure caused by
a viral infection when he
had the stroke.
Steady concern for Travis, a popular and pivotal
figure in country music,
turned to active support
as stars like Hillary Scott
of Lady Antebellum and
Martina McBride and
the Grand Ole Opry used
Twitter to join Webster’s
call for prayers. Hundreds
of users reached out using
the hashtag PrayforRandy.
“We’re all pulling for
you Randy,” Brad Paisley
said via Twitter.
The setback occurred
hours after doctors said
Travis was showing
signs of improvement
since the start of treat-
ment Sunday for congestive heart failure.
It was not clear what
kind of stroke Travis suffered. The most common
type of stroke is caused by
a blood clot that travels to
the brain. The other kind
happens when a blood
vessel in the head bursts
or leaks. Stroke patients
who get treatment quickly
are usually given a drug
to dissolve the clot that
caused the stroke.
Drs. William Gray and
Michael Mack of the Baylor Health Care System in
Texas described Travis’
condition and hospitalization in a video statement
earlier Wednesday.
“His condition has stabilized, and he has shown
signs of improvement,”
Mack said in the video.
“On behalf of Mr. Travis’
family, friends and associates, we would like to
express our extreme gratitude for the overwhelming
affection and support that
Mr. Travis has received.”
The “Three Wooden
Crosses” singer was in
good health until three
weeks before he was
hospitalized, when he
contracted a viral upper
respiratory
infection,
Gray said.
The viral illness led to
a weakened heart muscle
that eventually worsened
into heart failure.
Travis was admitted to
Baylor Medical Center
McKinney near his home
in Tioga, about 60 miles
north of Dallas, through
the emergency room Sunday. The singer underwent a procedure to have
a pump inserted by catheter that helps increase
blood flow before being
transferred to The Heart
Hospital Baylor Plano.
Travis’ illness comes
as he’s been trying to put
his life back together following a series of embarrassing public incidents
involving alcohol. Travis
pleaded guilty to driving
while intoxicated in January following an arrest
last year and received
two years of probation
and a $2,000 fine. He
was required to spend at
least 30 days at an alcohol treatment facility and
complete 100 hours of
community service.
He recently made several public appearances,
including a spot on the
Country Music Association Festival’s nightly concert lineup and a poignant
performance at George
Jones’ funeral.
Webster said from the
hospital Travis’ fiancee
Mary Beougher was at

MLB drug
probe litigation
could be lengthy
He’s out!
Ronald Blum
AP Sports Writer
NEW YORK — We may never know exactly what
Alex Rodriguez and Ryan Braun are being accused of
in Major League Baseball’s Biogenesis investigation
— if they beat the rap.
That’s because details likely will be caught in a tangle of legal gymnastics involving MLB, the players’
union and probably an arbitrator, who could rule no
discipline is warranted.
Lengthy proceedings make it nearly a certainty most, if
not all, suspensions would be served in 2014.
Among the early legal issues: Does the commissioner’s office have the right to announce any suspensions
before grievances are decided by an arbitrator? Can
a player not previously disciplined under the drug
agreement be suspended for more than 50 games because of multiple violations?
Three people familiar with the investigation said if
management and the union can’t agree on the process, arbitrator Fredric Horowitz likely would be asked to decide.
The people spoke on condition of anonymity because no
public statements were authorized.
MLB has spent most of the year investigating about
20 players for their links to Biogenesis of America, including A-Rod and Braun, both former MVPs. Miami
New Times reported in January that the closed Florida
anti-aging clinic had distributed banned performanceenhancing drugs to major leaguers.
Lawyers for the commissioner’s office have been interviewing players and many, including Braun, have refused
to answer questions about their dealings with Biogenesis,
the three people said. Braun was interviewed in late June,
and Rodriguez is scheduled to be interviewed Friday.
Braun and Rodriguez have said they didn’t do anything
that merits discipline.
The players’ refusal to respond to MLB’s questions were
first reported by ESPN and the New York Daily News.
MLB hopes to complete the player interviews in
mid-July but is not sure whether it will meet that
schedule. Management then will have to decide what
discipline it intends to impose.
Baseball’s joint drug agreement calls for a 50-game suspension for a first offense, 100 games for a second and
a lifetime ban for a third. Among the players linked to
Biogenesis, Toronto’s Melky Cabrera, Oakland’s Bartolo
Colon and San Diego’s Yasmani Grandal have served 50game penalties following positive testosterone tests.
The drug agreement specifies that if a suspension for a
first PED offense is challenged by the union, the violation
is not made public unless the penalty is sustained in arbitration. However, discipline for second and third offenses
are announced and served while the grievance is litigated.
There also is a provision stating “the commissioner’s office may publicly announce the discipline of a
player if the allegations relating to a player’s violation of the program previously had been made public
through a source other than the commissioner’s office
or a club” or their employees. The sides or the arbitrator will have to decide whether the media accounts of
Biogenesis are covered by that clause.
Each player’s case probably will be handled in a separate arbitration, which could slow down the process
while the sides secure dates before Horowitz or agree
to retain other arbitrators.
The three players who already have served suspensions
also may claim they can’t be penalized under a provision
prohibiting multiple disciplines for the same use. In addition, they can’t be penalized for conduct that took place
before they were given notice of their positive drug test.
It may be difficult to discipline players for refusing to
answer questions
Commissioner Bowie Kuhn suspended Ferguson Jenkins in September 1980 after the Texas pitcher was arrested in Toronto and charged with possession of cocaine,
hashish and marijuana. Kuhn wrote to Jenkins saying he
imposed the penalty because the pitcher “declined to cooperate with this office’s investigation.”
Following a grievance hearing, arbitrator Raymond
Goetz lifted suspension two weeks later.
“As a practical matter, the commissioner was compelling Jenkins to jeopardize his defense in court.
While this may not actually violate any principles of
constitutional or criminal law, it offends the moral
values of our society on which the legal privilege
against self-incrimination is based,” Goetz wrote.
He said players should not be required to prove their innocence because “this approach would stand the requirement of just cause for discipline on its head.”
In the Biogenesis case, an arbitrator would have to rule
whether refusing to answer questions while no criminal
charges are pending may be penalized under the “just
cause” provision of the drug agreement.
Horowitz, a veteran of baseball and NHL salary arbitration cases, was appointed baseball’s arbitrator in June last
year. Shyam Das, who had served since 1999, was fired in
May 2012, three months after overturning a 50-game suspension imposed on Braun. Das ruled the urine sample of
the Milwaukee star was not handled by the drug collector
in the manner specified by baseball’s drug agreement.

PHOENIX (AP) — Hanley
Ramirez and A.J. Ellis hit consecutive homers in the 14th inning off
Josh Collmenter, helping the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-5 on Wednesday night
to complete a three-game sweep.
Ellis tied the game with a two-out,
run-scoring single in the ninth inning
off Heath Bell and Ramirez hit the
first pitch of the 14th off Collmenter
(4-2) just over the wall in right field.
Five pitches later, Ellis made it 7-5
with his fourth homer.
Kenley Jansen (3-3) pitched the
final two innings for the Dodgers,
who used all of their position players and had Zack Greinke, Monday’s starter, pinch hit in the 10th
inning. Los Angeles has won 15
of 18 to move within 1 1-2 games
of the NL West lead after its first
sweep of Arizona since 2010.
Arizona went through eight
pitchers in the 19th game in the
majors to go at least 14 innings
this season, according to STATS.
There were 20 total last season.
METS 7, GIANTS 2
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Former Giants prospect Zack Wheeler
pitched seven sharp innings, Marlon Byrd homered again and the
New York Mets completed their first
sweep in San Francisco since 1994.
Daniel Murphy and John Buck
each had two hits and drove in two
runs as the Mets won their fourth in
a row, including three straight over
the slumping World Series champions. The Giants have lost 16 of 19.
Wheeler (3-1), a former Giants’
first-round draft pick, took a shutout
into the seventh. He allowed one run
and three hits overall, striking out
five and walking three.
Matt Cain (5-6) lasted less than
an inning for the first time in his
career, giving up three runs on two
hits while getting just two outs.
He walked three.
San Francisco dropped a seasonhigh 10 games under .500 as it was
swept at home for the first time in
nearly a year.
NATIONALS 5, PHILLIES 1
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Gio
Gonzalez tossed seven sharp innings,
the Nationals hit a pair of consecutive homers off Cliff Lee and Washington beat the Philadelphia Phillies.
Anthony Rendon and Wilson
Ramos hit back-to-back shots off
Lee to start the fifth and Ryan
Zimmerman and Jayson Werth
did it to open the sixth.
Gonzalez (7-3) gave up one run
and six hits, striking out five to win
his fourth straight start. The lefty
has eight quality starts in a row.
Lee (10-3) had allowed nine
homers in his first 135 2-3 innings
this year before yielding four in a
span of eight batters. Darin Ruf hit
a solo shot for the Phillies, who
failed to reach .500 for the first
time since June 7.
MARLINS 6, BRAVES 2
MIAMI (AP) — Giancarlo Stanton hit a two-run double to end a
10-game RBI drought, and the Miami Marlins broke a five-game losing
streak by beating Atlanta 6-2.
Stanton had been in a 3-for-26
slump before he put the Marlins
ahead in their four-run first inning against Paul Maholm (9-8).
Placido Polanco added three hits
and three RBIs.
Jacob Turner (3-1) allowed four
hits and two runs in seven innings.
Steve Cishek allowed two singles in
the ninth to complete a six-hitter.
The Braves won two of three games
in the series but missed a chance for
their first road sweep since April 1214 at Washington. Miami improved
to 3-12 against the Braves at Marlins
Park since it opened in 2012.
REDS 6, BREWERS 2
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Mike
Leake scattered four hits over 8
1-3 innings and Brandon Phillips
ball, and the Baltimore Orioles got
a three-run homer from Nolan Reimold in a victory over Texas.
Manny Machado had three hits
and an RBI for the Orioles, who won
for only the third time in nine games.
Chen (4-3) had not pitched since
May 12 because of a strained right
oblique. The left-hander allowed one
run, walked three and struck out four.
Major league home run leader
Chris Davis went 0 for 3 with a
walk and is hitless in his last 17 atbats. He hasn’t gotten a hit since
Major League Baseball announced
he was the leading vote getter in
All-Star fan balloting.
Reimold homered off Josh Lindblom (1-3).
YANKEES 8, ROYALS 1
NEW YORK (AP) — Robinson
Cano hit a three-run homer, Lyle
Overbay added a grand slam and
the New York Yankees snapped
out of their offensive funk with a
win over Kansas City.
Ivan Nova (4-2) delivered another impressive pitching performance and the Yankees, held to
one run each of the previous three
days, stopped a three-game slide.
They watched two more players get
banged up, though, when slumping Travis Hafner and speedy Brett
Gardner left with injuries.
Hafner came out with a bruised
left foot, while Gardner departed
with a bruised right leg after getting hit by a pitch. The team said
X-rays on both were negative and
they were day to day.
Nova yielded only four singles and
a double in eight innings for his second win in three solid starts since
returning from the minors.
Cano and Overbay both connected
off Wade Davis (4-8), who dropped
his third consecutive start.
BLUE JAYS 5, INDIANS 4
CLEVELAND (AP) — Munenori Kawasaki hit a two-run single
with the bases loaded in the ninth
inning and the Toronto Blue Jays
beat Cleveland.
Kawasaki, who broke an 0-for-18

DETROIT (AP) — Prince Fielder homered, Rick Porcello pitched
six solid innings and the Detroit
Tigers bounced back Wednesday
night with an 8-5 victory over the
Chicago White Sox.
Detroit allowed 23 hits in an 11-4

slugging early on in this game. Fielder lined a two-run shot to right field
in the first inning for his 16th homer.
Conor Gillaspie and Gordon Beckham homered for Chicago.
Porcello (6-6) allowed three
runs and seven hits. Joaquin Benoit pitched the ninth for his eighth

Trades, new contracts become official around NBA
Brian Mahoney
AP Basketball Writer
Just about every NBA team
would like Dwight Howard.
Only the Houston Rockets could get him, and on
Wednesday some of his other suitors either announced
their backup plans or were
still working on them.
Paul Millsap is headed to Atlanta. The Dallas Mavericks are
considering Andrew Bynum.
The Golden State Warriors have
acquired Andre Iguodala.
The Los Angeles Clippers
never had to look beyond their
top target, with Chris Paul committing to stay on the first day
of free agency. They also added
Darren Collison, Jared Dudley
and J.J. Redick to a team that
won the Pacific Division last season, surpassing the Lakers as the
best team in Los Angeles.
It’s hard to see that changing
after Howard passed on re-signing with the Lakers and instead
opted for the Rockets in a deal
that still hadn’t become official
as of Wednesday night.
That was the first day transactions could be completed
and contacts signed following
the completion of the NBA’s
moratorium period. The Rockets couldn’t wait to talk about
their All-Star center, getting
fined $150,000 by the league
on Tuesday for premature comments about Howard on TV
and in social media.
The rest of the league waited
until rules allowed Wednesday.
The Clippers held a press conference for Paul, the three new
players and the re-signed Matt
Barnes and Ryan Hollins on what
Paul called “one of the biggest
days in franchise history.”
While they were celebrating, Bynum was meeting with
Dallas, another team that
wanted Howard.
Bynum was part of the fourteam trade that sent Howard
from Orlando to Los Angeles
last summer, but never played
a game for Philadelphia because
of knee problems. The Cleveland
Cavaliers have already offered
him a contract, and the Mavericks are weighing the risk.
“At this point, we’re having
medical discussions and we’ll
have the opportunity to get with
him and his agent and better understand the risks involved and
make a good decision for our
franchise,” said Donnie Nelson,
the team’s president of basketball operations. “Currently, we
still need help and support in our
front court and we’re going to
turn over every stone.”
Charlotte got bigger by adding former Utah center Al
Jefferson, while his former
Jazz teammate Millsap is also
bound for the Southeast Division with the Hawks.
Atlanta missed out on Howard, and forward Josh Smith left
for a $54 million, four-year deal
with Detroit, but the Hawks
bounced back by giving Millsap
a two-year, $19 million contract.
The Jazz also got involved in
the deal that landed Iguodala
with the Warriors, who gave
him a four-year, $48 million deal
last week. Golden State cleared
more than $24 million by sending Richard Jefferson, Andris
Biedrins and Brandon Rush to
the Jazz along with four draft
picks and cash. Denver received
guard Randy Foye from the Jazz.
Chris Andersen signed a $1.7
million, one-year deal to stay
with the Miami Heat, who will
have to hold off some stronger
challengers next season in the
Eastern Conference. Indiana reSee NBA ‌| Page 5

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Ben Zobrist hit
an RBI single with two outs in the 13th inning and
Tampa Bay beat Minnesota to win its season-best
seventh straight game.
Zobrist lined a 1-2 pitch from Ryan Pressly (2-1) into
the gap in right-center field, ending a 4-hour, 47-minute
game that featured 35 strikeouts — 19 for Rays pitchers.
Tampa Bay climbed to a season-best 12 games over
.500. The Rays also improved to 9-1 in a stretch of 14
consecutive games against the Twins, Chicago White Sox
and Houston Astros — teams with the three worst records in the American League.
Minnesota has lost 10 of 11, including four straight.
Cesar Ramos (2-2) got two outs, escaping a jam with
runners at first and third in the 13th to get the win.
RED SOX 11, MARINERS 4
SEATTLE (AP) — David Ortiz doubled in his first atbat to become baseball’s career leader in hits as a designated hitter and hit a two-run homer an inning later,
leading Boston Red Sox to victory over Seattle.
Ortiz entered the night tied with Harold Baines for the
most hits as a DH and it took just one at-bat to claim the
record. Ortiz doubled to left-center field to lead off the
second inning and was acknowledged by a standing ovation from the mix of Red Sox and Mariners fans.
An inning later, Ortiz collected his eighth hit of the series with a two-run homer off Seattle starter Aaron Harang (4-8), his 19th this season.
Jacoby Ellsbury had three hits to extend his hitting streak to 18 games, currently the best in baseball, and the Red Sox knocked around Harang for
seven runs and eight hits.
Felix Doubront (6-3) pitched seven innings, giving up
five hits and one run with six strikeouts and two walks.

SAN DIEGO (AP) —
Rockies starter Jorge De
La Rosa took a one-hit
shutout into the sixth inning and Colorado held on
to give the left-hander his
sixth straight win against
the San Diego Padres.
De La Rosa lifted his record at Petco Park to 3-0
with a 1.88 ERA. His winning streak against San Diego spans eight starts.
The Rockies were leading 4-0 in the sixth when
Carlos Quentin hit his 11th
home run, a two-run shot
to straightaway center
field, scoring Chase Headley, who had walked. That
was all for De La Rosa (95), who allowed two hits
over five innings with four
walks and four strikeouts.
Andrew Cashner (5-5)

two earned, on eight hits.

Pirates beat the Oakland
Athletics.
Liriano (9-3) struck out

Louis Cardinals beat the
Houston Astros.
Carpenter’s ninth homer

Maness (5-1). Tony Cruz

Maness gave up two hits
and a run in two innings of
relief. He struck out three.
Edward Mujica earned
his 25th save in 26 tries.
He has appeared in six consecutive games, going 1-1
with four saves.
ANGELS 13, CUBS 2
CHICAGO (AP) — Josh
Hamilton hit two home
runs, Albert Pujols also
connected and the Los Angeles went deep a seasonhigh five times in a rout of
the Chicago Cubs.
Mark Trumbo and Brendan Harris also homered
for the Angels. Hamilton
drove in five runs and Pujols drove in three.
All of the Angels’ home
runs were no-doubters.
They hit a pair during a fiverun first inning and then
followed with three more
in a six-run fifth, providing
more than enough support
for C.J. Wilson (9-6).
The Angels have won
11 of 14. Once 12 games
under .500, they are now
within two games of the
break-even mark — since
June 12, they have the best
record in baseball at 17-8.

signed power forward David West and added C.J. Watson as a backup point guard, while the Chicago Bulls improved their outside shooting by signing Mike Dunleavy.
The New York Knicks hope they did, too, with the acquisition of Andrea Bargnani. However, the former No. 1
overall pick from Italy struggled during an injury-plagued
2012-13 season for the Toronto Raptors, who shipped
him to New York for Steve Novak, Quentin Richardson,
Marcus Camby and three future draft picks.
The NBA’s other big deal of the offseason, the trade
sending Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce from Boston to
Brooklyn, will be completed Friday. The Nets could pay
more than $70 million in taxes in the first season of the
NBA’s harsher penalties for teams who exceed the limit.

When I was covering the Zapatista
uprising in Chiapas, Mexico, in early
1994, I attended the first press conference held by the Zapatista military commanders, including Subcomandante
Marcos and Comandante Ramona.
They called it specifically for Mexican
radio journalists. Radio, Marcos said,
was the most accessible form of mass
communication. Even the poorest village had at least one radio around which
people could gather, he said.
Social-media platforms like Twitter and Facebook have been rightly
credited with supporting social
movements like the Arab Spring in
recent years. But the fact remains
that most people in the U.S. receive
their news from traditional sources,
especially radio and television, more
so in groups separated by the “digital
divide” — the poor, immigrants and
other marginalized communities.
LPFM applications must be filed
in October, and significant advanced
planning is required by any applicant
group that hopes to succeed. The
Oregon workers knew nothing about
radio. Prometheus recruited 300 media activists from around the world
to help get them on the air with a radio “barn raising” where volunteers
literally built the station from the
ground up. The airwaves are a public

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU
by Dave Green
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday,
July 11, 2013:
This year your temper could be
an issue, as you’ll learn to express
your feelings in a way that others can
understand. You tend to have a sweet
tooth, and will want to indulge yourself more as a result. The best part
of this year begins in late fall. If you
are single, someone important could
become a part of your life history.
If you are attached, your charisma
increases — and with it, your attentiveness to your sweetie. VIRGO can
be fussy and critical at times.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHHHH You might want to make
a tremendous effort to complete a
project that has been on the back
burner for a while. People sense your
confidence, and they will make the
decision to go along with your ideas.
You finally feel supported! Tonight:
Any reason works for celebration.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHH You might not have to venture far. You could do your shopping
via the Internet and enjoy the luxury
of taking your time. Your creativity
surges to an unprecedented level.
You feel good no matter what you do.
Tonight: Totally in the moment and
ready for the weekend.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHH You might need more feedback. You know what you want, and
you are likely to pursue it impulsively,
without thinking first. If someone
points out a potential liability, listen
carefully. You will see the problem
once it is identified. Tonight: All
smiles, and happy to be home.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHH You might be trying to get
the best price possible for a particular item. Try to postpone your
decision for a while, because there
could be a sale in the near future.
Communication picks up in the
afternoon; you’ll like what you hear.
Tonight: Think “weekend.”
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHH Put the finishing touches on
a project. Move quickly and efficiently,
as by late afternoon, you might need
to handle a financial situation or follow through on a hunch. Do not allow
someone to distract you. Tonight:
Take care of an errand or two on the
way home.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHHH You might be doing more
than your usual amount of questioning. You have a drive to launch a
project but, for whatever reason, you
have done little so far. A meeting
proves to be very important. You will
feel a sense of camaraderie. Tonight:
Where your friends are.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHH You could feel a little tired
and overworked. You have a way of
making your mark. Your insightfulness
comes from asking questions — just
make sure they’re the right ones.
Your power of observation will come
through. Tonight: All eyes turn to you.
Now what are you going to do?
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHH Deal with a partner who is
determined to share his or her viewpoint. Later, when you stop to ponder
where this person was coming from,
you will see the rationale behind his
or her thoughts. Be sure to keep an
open mind. Tonight: Consider a getaway this weekend or next.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHH Others seek you out. In order
to accomplish what you desire, you
might want to screen your calls. Listen
well to a partner who can help you
carry out a certain project much faster. This likely will be the only person
you should open the door for. Tonight:
Wind down with a friend.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHH Dive into work; the grueling details of a meeting need to be
handled quickly. By midafternoon, you
will reach out to someone with whom
you want to speak. Hopefully you
have some extra time in your schedule. Tonight: Continue an important
conversation over dinner.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH When you defer to others,
you seem to have better results. Push
a creative concept forward before
lunch, if possible. Others will hear you
better then, though it might take a day
or two for them to make an assessment. Deal with a partner directly.
Tonight: Spend time with a loved one.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHH Getting going might be difficult in regard to a personal situation. You might believe that you can
handle it right now if you could stop
and make the time. Tap into you creativity, and request the help of a close
friend. This person’s ideas could help.
Tonight: Let more fun in.
