Ies rienThe dogs days of summer are upon us, so what better
time to talk about dogs and summer.Specifically, leaving dogs in cars during the summer.It is cruel, possibly deadly, to the animal and also po
tentially illegal.Consider first: On a 90-degree day, the interior tem
perature of a car can reach 160 degrees in less than 10minutes. Our foothill summers are rarely so kind — Sonora has an average July temperature of about 95 degrees, and days above 100 are common.
You might be rolling your eyes by now — I mean, hasanyone not heard this before?
This would make you wonder. Just last Monday, thepolice and sheriff's logs carried the following items:
1:46 p.m., animal complaints — A dog was left unattended in a vehicle parked on Tuolumne Road.1:46 p.m., Sonora area — A dog was left inside a hot
vehicle at a Mono Way parking lot.5:44 p.m., animal complaints — A dog was locked in
side a parked vehicle in a Sanguinetti Road parking lotwith the windows rolled up.
Even if you don't kill your best friend, leaving a dog unattended in a car on a hot day can also have legal ramifications.
It falls under the California Penal Code section on animal cruelty, which says:
(b) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (a) or(c), every person who overdrives, overloads, drives whenoverloaded, overworks, tortures, torments, deprives of necessary sustenance, drink, or shelter, cruelly beats, mutilates, or cruelly kills any animal, or causes or procuresany animal to be so overdriven, overloaded, driven whenoverloaded, overworked, tortured, tormented, deprived ofnecessary sustenance, drink, or shelter, or to be cruellybeaten, mutilated, or cruelly killed; and whoever, havingthe charge or custody of any animal, either as ow ner orotherwise, subjects any animal to needless suffering, orinflicts unnecessary cruelty upon the animal, or in anymanner abuses any animal, or fails to provide the animalwith proper food, drink, or shelter or protection from theweather, or who drives, rides, or otherwise uses the animalwhen unfit for labor, is for every such offence, guilty of acrime punishable as a misdemeanoror as a felony or alternatively punishable as a misdemeanor or a felony and bya flne of not more than twenty thousand dollars ($20,000).
With major retail centers in the City of Sonora, callsabout dogs left in cars often fall on the Sonora Police Department.
Chief Mark Stinson explained when a report is made,an animal control officer is dispatched and attempts todetermine if the animal is "in distress."
If deemed so, an officer enters the car and takes theanimal. It either goes to the animal shelter or a veterinarian, depending on its condition"It's an arrestable offense if it's charged as a felony,"
he said."My best advice is leave your dog at home. Leave them
with the air conditioning," he added.Agreed.
GUEST COLUMN
It's the same with the state PublicUtilities Commission these days as withalmost everything else: by the time statelegislators notice something is a problem,things are so bad, so extreme that otherpeople and agencies have already acted.
Just now, almost six months afterstate and federal investigators executedsearch warrants on the homes of formerPUC President Michael Peevey and asince-fired Pacific Gas & Electric Co. executive for whom Peevey would apparently do just about anything, lawmakersare finally ready to act.
Unfortunately, their action is redundant, coming long after the cows haveleft the barn.
Dollar bills, often rolls of 100-dollarbills, are equivalent to the cows in thismetaphor. And the barn is the equivalentof the wallets and bank accounts of tensof millions of customers with gas, electricand water companies regulated by theutilities commission.
For many years before scandal broke,the PUC under Peevey and several predecessors maintained a steady patternfavoring the interests of regulated, privately-owned corporations over those ofthe consumers they serve.
This pattern extended from pricing tomaintenance and safety concerns, fromeasy OKs of power plant siting to lack ofconcern over nuclear safeguards at thenow-closed San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station and the Diablo Canyon nuclear power station. It has cost consumers billions of dollars over decades, coststhat climb each day.
This has been achieved via a sort ofkabuki dance, where utilities routinelyask far more in rate increases than theyknow they' re entitled to. The PUC responds by cutting the requests, still giving utilities larger increases than reality
PU reform bills, too little too lateThomasElias
' l l
real power to fight and expose the ongoing misdeeds of the PUC. Rather thanset up a new inspector general, why notmake the existing advocacy office independent?
And with no ability for consumers toprotest PUC decisions anywhere but inappeal courts, it's now far too difficult todo anything about wrongheaded, onesided commission rulings.
Why not allow consumers to sue intrial courts, where they could presentevidence rather than being confined toworking with evidence developed during the PUC's own proceedings, whereadministrative law judges have been exposed lately as subject to occasional bias?
Those are simpler, less expensivechanges than what Rendon proposes, theonly legislative fixes for the PUC nowproposed.
Even more important to cleaning upthis long-corrupt agency would be forlegislators to put a spotlight on any appointee proposed by any governor. Also,if lawmakers would hold meaningful,thorough hearings on the PUC's questionable actions. This is already withintheir power, but even with the scandalin progress, it still does not happen. Lawmakers show no appetite for contestingany proposed commissioner or any commission actions.
That's how consumers got stuck withPeevey, a former Edison president whosecorrupt practices were easy to foresee.
So, yes, the Legislature can and shoulddo something about the PUC, but thebest thing it could be is wake up andperform the watchdog duties it has neglected for decades.
Thomas Elias writes a column aboutCali fornia government and politics thatappears in 98 Cali fornia newspapers.
justifies. Then both the commission andthe companies brag about being "consumer-friendly."
The dance went on unchecked for decades, legislators paying virtually noheed. The lawmakers also routinely rubber-stamped appointees to the commission named by current Gov. Jerry Brownand predecessors like George Deukmejian, Pete Wilson, Gray Davis and ArnoldSchwarz enegger.
Each commissioner then served a sixyear term without even the possibility ofbeing fired for one-sided rulings.
Now, long after this column exposedthe corrupt pattern and with a federalgrand jury working on this case, at longlast comes a state legislator to "do something" about the PUC. That's DemocraticAssemblyman Anthony Rendon of Lakewood. One of his bills would set up aninspector general at the commission, empowered to investigate its activities.
Another would outlaw secret contactsamong commissioners and utility executives by requiring publication of allcommunications between them duringrate-setting proceedings. Such "ex parte"contacts have long been illegal, but noone paid attention.
So phone calls and private dinnerslike those documented involving Peevey,current Commissioner Mike Florio andexecutives of PG&E and Southern California Edison continued with impunityuntil earlier this year, when scandalbroke.
The Rendon bills are too little, too late.Far better to give the commission's existing Office of Ratepayer Advocates some
YOUR VIEWSGOP and American values
To the Editor:Corporate rule was indeed what the
colonists rebelled against!For Republicans to pretend that it
isn't their party's doctrine today thatmost reflects the British/corporateconspiracy that was in place duringthe 18th century is pretty pathetic. Asare the "thinking American citizens"who still self-identify as Republican.
Americans say the confederate fiagis a symbol of hate for too many andshould come down, Republican politicians largely defend it's continuedflying! Americans say they love theirpublic lands and National Parks, Republican politicians largely kowtow tocorporate interests who want to seeour commons privatized! Americans
largely support an increase in theminimum wage... Republican politicians...not so muchi Equal pay, healthinsurance accessibility, regulation ofbankers and other corporate greedheads, restoration and protection ofthe environment....the RepublicanParty is opposed to all the things regular Americans care about....yet manygood average American citizens stilldefend their Republican Party. Hardto believe....
It can best be explained as a kindof team spirit I think....but politics isabout the competition of the ideas thatare best for the greatest number ofAmericans for the long term....if yourpolitical party is no longer representing you....It's really OK, and appropriate to
dump it if it won't change.

Cosby aacusers seektranscript release
LOS ANGELES — Two ofBill Cosby's accusers joined acourt bid Monday to have hisfull testimony &om a 2005 sexual-battery lawsuit unsealed.
Beth Ferrier and RebeccaNeal say the deposition excerpts released last weekmention them but don't paintthe whole picture.
Lawyer Gloria Allr ed,speaking on their behalf at anews conference in Los Angeles, says they want to challenge defense comments thatCosby's accusers have been"discredited."
The women's lawyers filedthe papers in Philadelphia,where they were "Jane Does"supporting a former TempleUniversity employee whosaid Cosby had drugged andmolested her.
The newly released excerpts show Cosby acknowledging he got quaaludes inthe 1970s to give women before they had sex.
The Associated Press typically does not name peoplewho say they are sexualassault victims. Ferrier andNeal have authorized the useof their names.

Obama commutessentences for 46
WASHINGTON — CallingAmerica "a nation of secondchances," President BarackObama cut the prison sentences of 46 non-violent drugoffenders on Monday in whatthe White House hopes will
be just one prong of a broaderpush to make the criminal justice system fairer while savingthe government money.
Fourteen of those whosesentences were commutedhad been sentenced to life inprison and the vast majorityto at least 20 years, the president said in a video releasedby the White House, adding that "their punishmentsdidn't fit the crime."
'These men and womenwere not hardened criminals,"he said, promising to lay outmore ideas on criminal justicechanges during a speech tothe NAACP today in Philadelphia.
Since Congress enactedmandatory minimum sentences for drug crimes inthe 1980s, the federal prisonpopulation has grown &om24,000 to more than 214,000,according to Families AgainstMandatory Minimums, agroup seeking sentencingchanges.

WASHINGTON (AP)— The weekend disappearance of Joaquin ElChapo" Guzman from amaxunum secunty prison should have come aslittle surprise to Mexicanauthorities: The DrugEnforcement Adininistration had alerted them16 months ago about several plans to escape.
Mexico's most notorious drug traffickerbegan plotting to breakout almost immediatelyafter his recapture at aseaside resort in February 2014. Internal DEAdocuments obtained byThe Associated Pressr evealed that d r ugagents first got information in March 2014that various Guzmanfamily members anddrug-world associateswere considering "potential operations tofree Guzman."
Mexican federal government officials didnot immediately respond to requests forcomment about the earlier escape schemes.

Guz man wasfirst arrested in 1993but escaped in Jalisco&om one of Mexico'stop-security prisons inJanuary 2001, allegedlyby hiding in a laundrybasket.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP)Little Pluto is a l i t tle bigger thananyone imagined.
On the eve of NASA's historic flybyof Pluto, scientists announced Monday the New Horizons spacecrafthas nailed the size of the faraway icyworld.
Measurements by the spacecraft setto sweep past Pluto today indicate thediameter of the dwarf planet is 1,473miles, plus or minus 12 miles. That' sabout 50 miles bigger than previousestimates in the low range.

SACRAMENTO (AP)California on Monday beganregaining responsibility forits prison health care systemafter nearly a decade of federal control and billions of dollars in improvements.
A court-appointed receiverreturned medical care at Folsom State Prison to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, thefirst of many steps towardending a long-running lawsuit.
"Basically, what I saw atFolsom was a reasonablywell-functioning health caresystem in a prison context,"receiver J. Clark Kelso said ina telephone interview.
The decision comes a decade after a federal judgefound that conditions in thestate's prisons were so poorthat an average ofan inmateeach week was dying of m edi
7,767 miles of Pluto at 31,000 mph.Mission managers said there's only
one chance in 10,000 something couldgo wrong, like a debilitating debrisstrike, this late in the game. ButStern cautioned: "We' re flying intothe unknown. This is the risk we takewith all kinds of exploration."
"It sounds like science fiction, butit's not," Stern said as he opened anews conference at mission headquarters in Maryland. "Tomorrowmorning a United States spacecraftwill fly by the Pluto system and makehistory."
Discovered in 1930, Pluto is thelast planet in our solar system to beexplored. It was a full-fledged planetwhen New Horizons rocketed awayin 2006, only to become demoted todwarf status later that year.
BUCHAREST, Romania— Romanian prosecutors indicted Prime Minister VictorPonta on Monday as part ofa wide-ranging corruptioninvestigation and seized hisassets, increasing pressure onhim to resign.

back the best-ever images of Plutoand big moon Charon on the far fringes of the solar system.
"The Pluto system is enchanting inits strangeness, its alien beauty," saidStern, a planetary scientist at Southwest Research Institute in Boulder,Colorado.
With the encounter finally at hand,it all seems surreal for the New Horizons team gathered at Johns HopkinsUniversity's Applied Physics Laboratory. The energy there Monday wasdescribed as electric.
Project manager Glen Fountainsaid New Horizons, at long last, islike a freight train barreling downthe track, "and you' re seeing this lightcoming at you and you know it's notgoing to stop, you can't slow it down."
"Of course, the light is Pluto, andwe' re all excited," Fountain said.
''We' re pleased and readyto start taking back controlof medical care," correctionsSecretary Jeffrey Beard saidin a statement. 'We know thatother CDCR prisons are readyto step up in the months aheadand we will continue collaborating with the Receiver's Office to ensure inmates at all ofour facilities receive appropriate health care."
Don Specter, director of theBerkeley-based Prison LawOffice that represents inmates in the lawsuit, said it' sgood that care has improvedat Folsom, but attorneys willcontinue monitoring.
"One of the things I'm mostconcerned about is whetherthe state has reformed itsprocesses so that all the improvements that the receiverhas made over the last 10 orso years are sustained," Specter said.

"He warned us early on, the second week of June, he told us you' regoing to get another 1,600 comingin just a few weeks, you guys shouldprepare for it," Kochakji said."Weknew it was going to be big."
A postal service worker in Southern California also advised Kochakjiin June they had just sent 1,200 to1,500 packages to the TuolumneMeadows post office, Kochakji said.
"Our post office is the one that justabout all the people on the PCT resupply at," Kochakji said. "NPR hadus on the radio last week and theguy who runs the post office at EchoLake heard it and called me. He' sso overwhelmed with thru-hikershe said he's shutting his post officedown indefinitely. He asked us not tosend him any more packages."
That's going to make things tougher on some hikers who rely on EchoLake, because now they' re going tohave to go farther to get resuppliesby postal delivery, Kochakji said.
"We' re no longer sending thempackages because they asked us notto," Kochakji said.

providers wrote 259 millionprescriptions for painkillersin 2012 — enough for everyAmerican adult to have a bottle of pills.
That's a four-fold increasein the amount of painkillersdispensed in the US. between1999 and 2013. Deaths fromthe drugs mirror the trend,killing more than 16,000 people in the U.S. in 2013, according to data compiled by CDC.
Tuolumne County HealthOfficer Dr. Liza Ortiz said solid local data on prescriptionrates or medication abuse isunavailable because of thecounty's small population.
"We don't have the dataavailable to use that largerurban areas do," she said.
However, one indicator isthe overdose-death rate. InTuolumne County, it peakedin 2010 at nearly 3 per 10,000deaths attributed to excessive drug use, according to a2013 report by the TuolumneCounty Public Health Department.
Who's an addict?
The road to overdose startswith addiction, but an addictresults from a cocktail of circumstances.
In some cases, people beginseeking legitimate care foracute or chronic pain. Common ailments range from fibromyalgia to work-relatedinjuries.
A maybe typical examplecomes from Maynords Recovery Center in Tuolumne,which treats substance addictions.
Counselor Marissa Boiredescribed a client who was arecovering alcoholic and former tennis player. The manhad undergone surgeries for ashoulder injury.
After the first surgery, he
were waiting Monday outside theTuolumne Meadows store to pick upa postal package containing morethan 20 pounds of dehydrated foodfor their journey on the John MuirTrail.eWe started 20-some miles ago at
M ono Meadows and we' re going toWhitney," Abbott said. "It's about 22pounds for both of us. For six days.Next resupply will be Red's Meadow."
Kochakji an d Ba l lard w e reswamped with a fresh load of resupply packages that had just arrived,but Kochakji stepped out of the storeto confer with Goff Abbott and otherbackpackers who were waiting fortheir chance to collect posted boxesof food and gear.
Also waiting was Nick Boam, 23,of Camas, Washington, who startedthe PCT alone on April 1 in Campo,near the Mexico-California border.He described what is in the packagehe was there to collect.
"I' ve got food to get me to the next

gave the prescribed painkillers to his AA sponsor to doleout as recommended. Afterthe second surgery, he administered the m edicationhimself and begin taking thedrugs in quantities abovewhat was prescribed.
His body built up a tolerance and, when his doctorrefused refills, he turned tofriends or bought them off thestreet.
He entered treatment atMaynords, completed its detox program and left againststaff advice. At the time hesaid he was committed tostaying clean and sober, Boiresaid. The center has not heardfrom him since he left.
A documented alcohol addiction or family history of addiction can be indicators of afuture drug habit.
Yet Dr. Bob Twillman saidit is hard to tell who will become an addict.
Studies show anywherefrom 0.3 to 30 percent of patients prescribed pain medication ultimately end upabusing the drugs, said Twillman, who is executive directorof the American Academy ofPain Management, a Sonora
based organization with morethan 4,000 clinician membersnationwide who treat painwith a variety of methods,both narcotic and therapeutic.
The decision about who deserves pain medication andwho doesn't — because of potential abuse — is a difficultcall for a doctor, said RichardMunger, a retired Sonora phy
"As a doctor, the No. 1 ruleis, first of all, do no harm. Butthe second is to alleviate suffering," said Munger, who had40 years' experience in general practice.
"To totally not treat pain?You might as well not be adoctor. Why be a doctor if youaren't going to stop suffering?n he said.
In the case of acute painoken the result of surgeriespain medication can be a safeand short-term treatment, hesaid.
"We generally know howlong the pain should last andtaper off appropriately," hesaid.
Patients experiencingchronic pain are harder for adoctor to assess. Doctors maycontinue prescriptions too

cializes in family practice,is prescribing a drug calledBuprenorphine to wean patients of narcotics.
The drug is an opioid anddeadens pain. However, itproduces no euphoria, making it far less addictive.
"The medication makesthem feel normal, and relationships with family andfriends improve," he said.
Retherford went throughan e ight-week t r a iningcourse to offer the treatment, and estimates he hasstarted over 1,000 patientson the drug.A more traditional treat
ment involves residentialrecovery.
In T uolumne County,Maynords Recovery Centeris the only such program.
The center, located in Tuolumne, offers a 28-day residential recovery programfor substance addictionwith a two-year outpatientprogram involving weeklygroup meetings.
Maynords' sees opioid addiction in numbers equalto or more than alcoholaddiction, said K athleenBrennan, certified addiction recovery specialist andcounselor at the center.
The initial w i thdrawalsymptoms for opioids cantake twice as long to pass,with symptoms like memoryloss and lack of concentration lasting up to 10 years,according to Brennan.
"The hardest part aboutrecovery is that people oftenchase that first initial high,a lot of them come to treatment with reservation to useagain and don't talk about it.They' ll leave treatment andgo get high — that's whenoverdose happens. Becausethey don't discuss it in treatment," said Brennan.
long in an effort to remedypain, inadvertently creatingphysical dependency, he said.
A major problem with opioid use is the body's ability tobuild up a resistance to thedrugs after sustained periodsof use, Munger said.
Patients with chronic painwill only experience relief fora short period of time beforethey need higher dosages toreceive the initial effect, hesaid.
That's how the cycle of addiction begins.
Treatment
There's no magic bulletfor treating prescriptionmedication addiction.
"It's an emotionally andphysically painful experience," said Ortiz, whose office last week sent out astatement urging patientsto discuss options for withd rawal t r e a tments wi t htheir primary care physicians.

There are times when even the mostexcessive chefs can't wait to get out of thekitchen, especially when the thermometerhits 100!
Sure, you can always go to a restaurant— but that's not always convenient. So,what's the answer when preparing dinner?
For me, it's a salad — a really big one.Fortunately, most of us have the ingredi
ents for an entree salad on hand. The easiest one would be to pull together lettuce andwhatever else you like in a salad and addprotein, such as leftover chicken, beef orham. (Remember to save that small pieceof extra barbecued chicken or salmon andfreeze it for salad).
Canned, rinsed and drained beans suchas garbanzo, pinto, black or white beanswork well.
Cheese is another good addition with anyor all of the above ideas. Diced or shreddedcheddar, Parmesan, Gorgonzola or your favorite blue cheese can add a delightful fia
Typically, croutons are added for textureand crunch; nuts are good too. Try addingpeanuts for a change of pace.Not only are salads quick and easy to
make, they provide us with a lot of goodnutrients. After a salad entree, Old What' sHis Name often does the laundry — to getthe salad dressing off his T-shirt!

One of my favorite things about India isits fantastic range of street food. From pavbhaji and vada pav to vegetable chaats andbhel puri, every corner of India boasts itsspecialties — and no two street food vendors are alike. "Secret" ingredients abound,and no one gives away any recipes for theirsignature dishes.
These spiced cucumber sticks are probably the most ubiquitous of all street food.Every vendor, whatever his specialty, willalso have these around as a quick, easyto-go snack.
Cucumber sticks are an easy, healthysnack to have on hand for when thosespice cravings hit. The predominant fiavoris chaat masala, a combination of savory,fragrant and salty spices. It is usually usedas a finishing spice, to sprinkle over food,rather than one that needs to be cookedout. Chaat masala is one of those spicemixes that is, frankly, easier to buy than tomake your own. Most Asian groceries willstock a version, and it lasts for a while.
When it comes to prepping the cucumbers, Indian vendors will leave the seedsin. However, I like to scoop them out sincethey can make the finished dish a littlewatery. I also like to mellow the bite of myred onions by soaking them in cold waterbefore sprinkling them on the cucumbersticks. This is just my preference, though,so if you like a sharper, more raw fiavor, you can always sprinkle the onionsstraight on. They are pretty tasty like thattoo, though I can't vouch for your breathafter.

Psychology on order: How restaurants get you to spend moreHere's a look at a few ways companies get you
to spend (and eat) more than you intended.
Get the $f out
Restaurant menus are a complicated mixture
3 large cucumbers1 small red onion, finely diced1 teaspoon chaat masala1/2 teaspoon hot red chili powderFlaked sea salt (like Maldon), to tasteSmall handful finely chopped cilantro1 lime, quartered, to serve
Peel and halve the cucumbers. Scoop out theseeds using a melon bailer or a grapefruit spoon.Slice the cucumber into sticks and dry them thoroughly with paper towel.
Meanwhile, place the finely diced onions in abowl, and cover with cold water. Let sit for about15 minutes, then drain and pat dry. This helpsdraw out the raw spiciness of the onions and mellows out their flavor.
Place the cucumber on a serving plate andsprinkle with onions, chaat masala, chili powderand a crumble of flaked salt. Garnish with thechopped cilantro and squeeze with a little limejuice before eating.
Recipe Notes: You can prepare the cucumberand onions ahead of time and chill. Sprinkle withthe spices just before serving, and go easy on thesalt. Chaat masala already has salt in it.
For a portable snack, mix together the chaatrnasal, chili powder and salt in a small container. Squeeze lime juice into another container.Skip the onions and cilantro. Dip fresh cucumbersticks into the lime juice, then into the spice mix.

I'm taking a chance with this summerpasta, as a good percentage of newcomersto my restaurants do not even know whatbottarga is. But let me give you a full disclaimer: Once this exotic, Italian fiavor hitsyour lips, you' ll be coming back for more.
A special roe ofbluefin tuna or red mullet,bottarga is traditionally grated, shaved orsliced, then sprinkled on antipasto or pasta.Food, like most things, is best when left toits own simple beauty, and bottarga is no exception. I prefer it served with the simplestingredients I can find, thus the linguine,zucchini and yellow squash in the followingrecipe from "Molto Gusto" (Ecco, 2010).In a land far and away known as the

You may think you' re immune to transparentsales pitches like "Do you want fries with that?"But the tactics restaurants use to nudge youinto spending a little extra may be subtler thanyou realize.

on a menu.

to leave those off when listing prices
"Dollar signs remind people of money," Rapp said. "When you use dollarsigns, your food looks more expensive."
Words matter
Imagery and language can alsomake prices go down easier.
Florid descriptions for menu itemscan seem like parodies, but it's an effective way to make a fairly standarddish sound special.So, you may balk at paying $19 for
baked fish and the vegetable of theday, yet gladly pay that for "Qaky codmarinated in our house sauce, servedwith country peas."
"The more you talk about it, the lessit costs in the customer's head. Themore value you' re giving them," Rappsaid.
Hand-eye coordination
The closer you are to something, themore likely you are to make an impulse buy.
It's why the areas by registers areso crowded with those little extras. Ifyou walk into Starbucks for a $4 latte,the cafe can push up the value of thattransaction by 25 percent just by getting you to grab a $1 tin of mints. Sowhile nobody goes to Starbucks specifically for mints, a lot of people buythem.
By a similar logic, Dunkin' Donutsbegan rolling out small display caseson front counters last summer that
feature items like cookies and Danishpastries.
The thinking is that you' re morelikely to get something to nibble onwith your drink if i t 's practically inyour grasp.
A classic example at fancier restaurants is the dessert cart. At thecasual dining chain Seasons 52, servers bring out a tray of mini-desserts toshow diners. Pitched as "Mini Indulgences,n the method of presentationhas pushed dessert sales higher thanthose of most other restaurants, saidAaron Allen, a restaurant consultantbased in Orlando, Florida.
And over at McDonald's, apple piedispensers are behind the registerswhere customers can see them. JeffStratton, former president of McDonald's USA, has said pie sales wouldfall dramatically i f the d ispenserswere back in the kitchen.
Controlling the choices
will push people to spend more.Sonic, for instance, used to offer two
sizes for its shakes: a 14-ounce "regularn and a 20-ounce "large." In 2012,the drive-in chain revamped sizes; the"regular" became a "small" and the"large" became a "regular."
It then added a new 32-ounce"large," as well as a 10-ounce "mini."So the people who tend to automatically opt for a "large" were shifted upto a bigger, pricier size.Drinks are a particularly ripe area
for what's known in the industry as"upsellingn because people usuallydon't pay as much attention to theirprices as they do for main dishes, saidKit Yarrow, a professor of consumer
Sometimes the choices available
psychology at Golden Gate Universityand author of "Decoding the New Consumer Mind."Paying 25 cents more for a bigger
soda or fries seems like a no-brainerto most people, even if they would'vebeen content with the smaller portion.
"Consumers really do order muchmore food than they need, because itseems like a value to them," Yarrowsaid.
Giving more choices also just increases the odds that something willappeal to people. That's not reallyas necessary for main dishes, whichpeople will order regardless, but canpush up sales of extras like appetizersor desserts.
"When you have eight appetizers onthe menu versus six, you sell more appetizers with eight," said Eugene Lee,CEO of Darden Restaurants, whichowns Olive Garden, while addressingconcerns about the complexity of thechain's menu last year.
What's next
In the future, that drive-throughmenu board might just try to readyour mind. Or at least predict whatyou, in particular, might be temptedby.
Sonic CEO Cliff Hudson has saidthe chain is working on ways to havedigital menu boards feature itemsbased on the particular customer.
The tailored offerings would be possible over time with the help of themobile app, which is set to launch thisspring and would help the companykeep track of what people like to order.
Already, Starbucks says its emailoffers to customers with its apps aretailored based on past purchases.

TOday in hiSfOryWidow wrong to worry about illegitimate child
tance.
DEAR ANNIE: My husband hasbeen dead for years. He was strong,handsome and successful, but not faithful. Women shamelessly threw themselves at him and he took advantage.He once had to send me to a doctor tobe tested for STDB, and I was so angryand embarrassed that I decided theonly way to keep the marriage intactfor the children's sake would be to forget about romance and approach it likea business.
The problem is, one of his affairs mayhave produced a child. The woman wasmarried at the time and still is. Her husband is considered the legal father, andfor all I know, he may be the biologicalfather. My husband and I never spokeabout this baby boy, but everyone elsedid because we lived in a small town. Ialways told myself I would speak to thewoman if I ran into her, but I have not,mainly to protect my children's inheri
But I worry that someday this in
DEAR DR, ROACH: I am a58-year-old ma le. Several months ago, Ilost 17 pounds, and even though I havegained back about 2 pounds in the pastmonth, I cannot gain the weight back,even by increasing my food intake. Ifeel tired all the time, and my energylevel is not good. My doctor did a CBC,and my white blood cell count is low,at 3.1 (range is 4-11). He asked me ifI recently had a cold, and I told him Ihad not. Since it was a new doctor, thereare no previous results for comparison.The doctor did not tell me anything orinstruct me to do anything else, whichconcerns me. There are two other results with low readings: lymphocytesare 0.1 (range is 1.2-3.4), and lymphocyte percent is 3.4 (range is 20-45).
I would like to know what, if anything, I should do next, other than waiting a few months for another blood test.Do I have to be worried about this?V.B.
ANSWER: I am sorry, but you dohave to be worried about this. Your
Annie's
formation may have to be dealt with.Should I put a letter in with our familyrecords tobe discovered after my death?Or is this something I should take to mygrave? — THE WIFE
DEAR WIFE: If there is a likelihood that your husband fathered achild by someone else, you shouldkeep medical information available in case the child decides tosearch for his father. But it is unlikely that he would be entitled toan inheritance, especially if manyyears have passed and the moneyis gone.

Low lymphocyte count is cause for concernrisk should get a test annually.
A partial list of other causes for lowlymphocyte count include medications(usually powerful anti-immune-systemmedicines or chemotherapy), autoimmune diseases such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, lymphoma and othercancers, and primary diseases of theimmune system, such as aplastic anemia. Previous results would help indicate whether this is a new condition.
This can't wait a few months for afollow-up test. If your doctor isn't looking aggressively for the cause, you needa second opinion.
DEAR DR. ROACH: While reading your recent article about sulfites, aquestion came to mind: What are sulfites? Are they mineral, chemical, organic? Do they grow on trees? How dothey afIect food? — M.C.
ANSWER: Sulfites are chemicalsfound naturally at low levels in wineand some foods, and are used as preservatives at significantly higher levels.M ost people are not sensitive to
tice. She has five children, and I'd loveto attend their birthday parties if I hadmore than four hours' notice. Her excuse is that they are so active in sportsand can't plan ahead because gamesrun over or they didn't expect to "still bein the playofI's." She has even scheduledparties on short notice and then textedto cancel them.
The most absurd example was herhusband's 40th birthday, again plannedwith a few hours' notice. And all of theseinvitations come via text message. If myphone is charging, or I le& it in my car,I will never see the invitation until theparty is over.I have become so fatigued at her last
minute invites that I have stopped making any e6'ort to attend. Why should mychildren and I be expected to drop ourplans to appease her? I don' t know whatto say to her kids when they ask why Iwasn't at their party. Any suggestions?— ANY MINUTE AUNTK
DEAR AUNTIE: Your sister-in
law is either disorganized or enjoying a power trip. We'd give herthe benefit of the doubt. Trying toarrange parties when you havefive children in spoxting activities is difficult. She could plan forovertime games by schedulingthe party later in the day, but sheseems too frazzled to think that farahead. Nonetheless, you are not obligated to attend any party plannedon such short notice and subject tocancellation. If you want to let thekids know that you care, we recommend getting them a birthday giftand dropping it off at another time.

sulfttes even at high levels, but somepeople have significant reactions evenat fairly low levels. People with severeallergies need to know that sulfites arenot always indicated on the label andshould educate themselves about allthe foods containing sulfites. One resource I found is at https J%dis.ifas.ufl.edu/fy731.Everything we eat, drink and breathe
is composed of chemicals. The diff'erence between a "bad" chemical and a"good" one is one of dosage: W e can't livewithout oxygen, but too much oxygen istoxic. Most medications are useless atextremely low doses, helpful for somepeople with certain conditions at theproper dosage, and toxic if taken at toohigh a dose. Sulfites are no exception tothis rule and, like any other chemical,some people are more sensitive to toxiceffects at lower doses than others.

lymphocyte count is extremely low.There are many potential causes, someof which are serious. Infections are themost common cause. Any serious infection can temporarily reduce lymphocyte count, but most of these are acute,to the point that people need hospitalization.
One common infection to cause a lowlymphocyte count is HIV. In the earlydays of the epidemic, a low lymphocytecount was a clue to either acute or advanced HIV. The Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention recommends,and I agree, that all adults should getan HIV test as a part of their routinecheckups, and that people with ongoing

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Pointguard Jeremy Lin is in search ofsome stability with the CharlotteHornets.
Lin said he has no regrets aboutleaving the New York Knicks afterthe 2012 season to sign with theHouston Rockets during his introductory press conference Monday.But the 26-year-old, one-year sensation made it pretty clear he's eager to find the right fit.
Three teams removed from "Linsanity" fame, Lin believes he mayhave found it with the Hornets.
Lin said he walked away excited after an in-depth conversationwith Hornets coach Steve Cliffordabout how the team plans to usehim — talks that the f ive-yearNBA veteran said were few and farbetween with previous organizations.
"Just having that open line ofcommunication early and beingproactive about it was very big forme," said Lin, who signed a twoyear, $4.37 million contract last

Cowboys' WR won' tplay without longterm deal
IRVING, Texas (AP)Dez Bryant is sending another signal that he won' tplay for the Dallas Cowboys without a long-termcontract.
The unsigned All-Proreceiver posted a message on Twitter to Dallasfans Monday, apologizingwhile saying he 'will not bethere" if he doesn't have anew deal by Wednesday'sdeadline.
Bryant, who led theNFL with 16 touchdownsreceiving last season, hasa one-year offer of $12.8
chise tag. Because hehasn't signed a contract,Bryant can't be fined formissing training camp,which starts July 30. Hewould lose about $750,000for each regular-seasongame he skipped.
"As much as I love football ... I apologize ¹cowboynation but I will not bethere if no deal," wrote Bryant. Bryant showed up onthe sidelines at offseasonpractice a couple of tim es,including the final mandatory minicamp workout atAT&T Stadium in June. Hehad about a 15-minute chatwith owner Jerry Jones.

The 6-foot-3 Lin said he believesClifford will give him an opportunity to do the things he did in thesecond half of the 2011-12 seasonwith the New York Knicks, wherehe turned from a waiver-wire pickup to a l ate season phenomenonwith a knack for big shots andsolid production, averaging 14.4points per game.
Lin left New York to s ign athree-year, $25 million with Houston after that season, but his playing time and production decreasedduring his two seasons with theRockets and was later traded tothe Los Angeles Lakers.
He never quite fit in there, either.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP)There was no escaping Jordan Spieth even before he arrived Mondayat St. Andrews to resume his pursuit of the Grand Slam.
Behind the practice range, oneBritish television network talked toany player willing to stop. After afew gratuitous questions about theweather (cool and cloudy) and theOld Course (magnificent shape), thereporter got to the point.
What about Spieth's chances?"The odds are against him," said
Soren Kjeldsen, relying entirely onhistory.
Spieth is only the fourth playersince 1960, the year Arnold Palmerproposed the concept of the modernGrand Slam in golf, to win the firsttwo majors of the year. The firstthree were stopped at the BritishOpen.
Palmer and Jack Nicklaus (1972)finished one shot behind. TigerWoods was in good position in 2002until he was blown away by thewind and rain at Muirfield and shot81 in the third round.
Spieth only added to the hype bywinning the John Deere Classic ina playoff Sunday for his fourth winof the year.
He fiew on a charter Right from Illinois with other players at the JohnDeere Classic, arriving in Scotlandabout 10:30 a.m. and checking intohis house before coming out to theOld Course to a quiet reception.
In need of a shave — he's 21, but
yes, he shaves — Spieth and hismanager walked through a groupof about 100 fans who camped outnear the entrance to the playerlounge to get his autograph. Spiethsigned everything shoved his way,turned and tossing the last item toa delighted young British boy.
The jet lag apparently wasn't anissue Monday. Spieth planned tohit balls and play nine holes if hefelt up to it. He wound up going18 holes, and the fans who hungaround into the evening were in fora rare treat — Spieth playing, withWoods right behind him. Woodsused to tee off before breakfast, butwaited until afternoon when mostof the drizzling weather cleared out.
They chatted briefiy on the 16thgreen, and Spieth had some funon the Road Hole at No. 17. He hitthree shots out of the famous bunker, all of them onto the green. Thenhe headed toward the stone wall behind the road and asked a few fansstill left, "Can you play it off thewall?"
"I didn't come here to play boringgolf," Spieth said.
He tried it four times, and didn' treach the green with any of them.
What makes Spieth di fferentfrom other players in pursuit of theGrand Slam — or even Rory McIlroy, who won the last two majors ayear ago, is that he does not overpower golf courses.
He just scores. And he wins. Andthat's what golf is all about, anyway.
Spieth resuming Grand Slam quest at St. Andrews"He beats you with better golf,"
Geoff Ogilvy said. "He doesn't beatyou because he hits it further. Tiger's intimidation was that he always did something amazing. Jordan — don't get me wrong, his bodyof work is amazing — but he doesn' tbeat you with a crazy par, or a crazychip-in from the back of the 14th atMuirfield (Village). He just beatsyou because he's better."
Ogilvy was asked how he wouldfeel going into the final round twoshots behind Spieth compared withgoing against Woods or McIlroy.
"It would be different. It shouldn' tbe," he said. "There's more of an intimidation factor to Rory becausehe's going to hit it 30 (yards) pastyou all day, and it appears like he' sbetter than you. Jordan doesn't appear like he's better than you. Buthis body of work proves that he' sbetter than everybody — well, maybe everybody but Rory."
That now is in reach.With his victory at the John
Deere, Spieth is within range of hisgoal of reaching No. 1 in the world.He would have to win The Openthis week to get past McIlroy, whois out with an ankle injury withno clear indication when he will beable to return.
"What he's doing is phenomenal,"Nick Faldo said. "And he's confident.... He's seeing the right shot,he's visualizing the shot. ... Andhe keeps churning out good shots.When you' re doing that, you just
NBA in 3-point shooting in 201415 and the team has made threepre-draft trades with that in mind.
Lin also fills that need."One, Jeremy has the ability to
make the 3, but two, he is a playmaker and has the ability to createoffense for himself and his teammates," Clifford said.
Lin is also excited about the ideaof playing for the Hornets and living in Charlotte, one of his favorite NBA cities and one he refersto as the East Coast version of hishometown Palo Alto, California.
L in said the "Linsanity" era"feels like a decade ago" and he's amuch improved player now.
He remembers hearing plentyof criticism for his lack of defense,tendency for turnovers, poor shooting and inability to d r ive left.Despite reduced playing time inHouston and Los Angeles, he believes he's shown improvement inthose areas.
"I do believe I am a more refinedplayer, a more all-around player,"Lin said. "I do think the work I
jump back on the saddle and rideagain. That's what he's doing."
Only in this case, Spieth had tofirst jump on a plane.
Not long after he won the U.S.Open, questions arose whether Spieth would change his schedule andskip the John Deere Classic so hecould get to Scotland earlier. Henever gave it a second thought.
He wanted competition at a tournament where he picked up his firstwin. He wasn't worried about jetlag. He wasn't interested in changing his routine for the sake of anextra practice round or two on acourse that has been around as longas golf has been played.
"He's young enough where he' llprobably overcome it with a goodnight's sleep," Paul Casey said.
The R&A put Spieth in the samegroup with Dustin Johnson andHideki Matsuyama for the opening two rounds. Johnson had a 12foot eagle putt on the final holeat Chambers Bay to win the U.S.Open. He three-putted for par, andSpieth was halfway home to theGrand Slam.
More than the Old Course, thereal challenge is the players Spiethhas to beat. One of those figures tobe Johnson, who was asked what hethought about the young Texan'schances in this unlikely bid to winall four majors in one year.
"Well, I'm playing the next two,"Johnson said with a smile, "so we' llhave to see."
have put in has made me better.I just don't think I have had thesame fit or opportunity."
That could change in Charlottewhere he' ll work as the secondteam point guard behind KembaWalker and possibly see some action at the two-guard spot, Cliffordsaid.
"I don't know what my limit is orhow could I can be, but my goal isto find out," Lin said.
Said Clifford: "He's hungry tocontinue to improve. As you knowthat is not always the case in anypro league. So I'm confident he willcontinue to get better."
The Hornets didn't make theplayoffs last year.
Lin sees that changing next season following the additions of Nicolas Batum, Spencer Hawes andJeremy Lamb this offseason viatrades, and the selection of FrankKaminsky from Wisconsin in theNBA draft.
"We want to make the playoffsand we don't just want to sneak inat the eighth spot," Lin said.

Frazier joined the Cubs'Ryne Sandberg for home-fieldhomer titles — the Hall ofFame second baseman did itat Wrigley Field in 1990. Afterfinishing second last year inMinneapolis, this one was assweet as that winning swing.
'That pushed me a lot," Frazier said."I wanted to get backhere. I'd been working in theoffseason a little bit. I'm justglad it was in Cincinnati andthey could enjoy it with me."
Pederson was trying to become the first rookie sinceWally Joyner in 1986 to winor share the title. He reachedthe final round by knockingoff Albert Pujols, who provided a blast after makingthe All-Star team for the firsttime in five years.
Frazier topped P r inceFielder and Josh Donaldsonto reach the finals, where hefaced his biggest test. Pederson went first and matchedthe highest total of the nightwith 14 homers. Frazier needed a late surge to pull even,tying him with 11 seconds leftin his round.He'd hit enough long hom

On the first pitch frombrother Charlie in extra time,Frazier puffed his cheeks andexhaled as he hit one solidly, then mouthed the words'That's gone" as the ball headed for the left field stands. Theballpark was full of fans witharms raised even before theball landed.

been there and done that.... When Ifirst came up there was one or twoyoung guys and a lot of older guys.That's how the game's changed. Nowthere are one or two older guys and alot of young guys," he said.
After baseball spent two years ofsaying goodbye to longtime superstars Mariano Rivera and DerekJeter, the All-Star gathering inCincinnati is dominated by somedynamic, fresh faces who are transforming the game.

Burnett, along with the Angels'Albert Pujols, the Yankees' MarkTeixeira, St. Louis' injured outfielderMatt Holliday and Seattle's NelsonCruz, represent the 35-plus set. Incomparison, there are 20 players 25and younger among 76 All-Stars.
The rough-edged Burnett's tripto the Midsummer Classic is evensweeter because it's his first selectionto an All-Star squad — in his 17thand final season.
The lanky right-hander who hadbeen known to pout on the moundand be difficult with media andcoaches returned to Pittsburgh afteran 8-18 season with Philadelphia,his worst as a pro. And he's gone 7-3with a 2.11 ERA.
"When I was younger I didn' tknow who A.J. was," he said. "Nowthat I know more, I can handle thosethings I' ve learned that I can't control."
His leadership on the field and offit has been invaluable to the growthof several of his young teammates,

"He's just a tremendous teammate.He's got an edge about him. He's gota competitiveness that he brings tothe clubhouse, brings to the team. It' sbeen fantastic," the 24-year-old Colesaid. "He's a big kid, actually."
Pujols and Teixeira had theirgreatest successes when many of theplayers they' re sharing a clubhousewith this weekend were kids dreaming of playing in the major leagues.
Teixeira hadn't been to an All-StarGame in six years, Pujols in five.
Pujols made nine of 10 All-StarGames from 2001-2010 but he beganto fall ofF statistically in 2011, failingto drive in 100 runs for the first timein his career, his last season with St.Louis. With the Angels, he playedhurt in 2013 and has been somewhatin the shadow of reigning AL MVPMike Trout.

"He's taught me a lot of thingsfrom a player standpoint, just playing the game the right way," Troutsaid. "It's huge, just to have in theclubhouse, just for younger guys including myself, just to know that ifyou have a question or anything youneed, he knows the answer to it."
Teixeira had slumped badly inthe past couple of years after beingslowed by injuries, including a wristoperation that cost him nearly all of2013. He even talked candidly aboutnot being able to achieve the numbers he put up in the past.
But his wrist has fully healed andhe changed his diet. He has 22 homers and an AL-leading 62 RBIs andearned his third All-Star trip whenDetroit's Miguel Cabrera was injured.

"My wife is less than threeweeks until having a kid,"he said of Emily. "She founda way to get out here eventhough she probably shouldn' thave. That just shows how excited the family is."

An Oakland Athletics season ticketholder asked a federal court Mondayto protect fans from fiying bats andballs by ordering Major League Baseball to extend the safety netting at itsballparks the entire length of the foullines.
The lawsuit filed in the NorthernDistrict of California seeks class action status on behalf of all fans buyingseason tickets in unprotected areas ofm ajor league parks. It is not asking formoney; instead, it wants Commissioner Rob Manfred to extend the screensthat typically cover only a few sectionsbehind the plate so that they run fromfoul pole to foul pole.
"I think it's important when youhave an issue like this not to monetizeit, not to say it's about people trying toget a bunch of money," said Steve Berman, a lawyer with the Seattle-basedfirm of Hagens Berman who has alsosued U.S. and international soccer authorities to force them to change theway they handle concussions.
The baseball lawsuit was filed onbehalf of Gail Payne, who has been attending A's games since 1968 and pur
ting up are really, really unbelievable," NL manager BruceBochy said Monday.
Keuchel, 27, is 11-4 with a2.23 ERA. Since starting hisbig league career 9-18 in 2012and '13, he is 23-13.
He becomes Houston'sfourth All-Star starting pitcher after J.R. Richard (1980),Mike Scott (1987) and RogerClemens (2004).
The AL will open the gamewith an all right-handed-hitting lineup for the first time;the only previous team to dothat was the NL for the first

"Every type of fan is constantly atrisk of serious injury or death," saidRobert Hilliard, another lawyer involved in the case. "If that foul ball ishit hard enough, reaction time is basically zero and life-threatening injuryis certain. This is a needless risk. Extending the nets will, as a fact, savelives."
The lawsuit also cites news reportsthat players asked for more protective netting during negotiations overa new collective bargaining agreement in 2007 and 2012. A spokesmanfor the MLB Players Association didnot immediately respond to a requestseeking comment.
The suit cites quotes from playerswho say they would not allow theirfamilies to sit in unprotected areas.

Djokovic closing in on Federer, Nadal aRer Wimbeldon winLONDON (AP) — A day
after winning Wimbledonfor a ninth Grand Slam title,moving within five ofRafael Nadal's total andputting him more thanhalfway to Roger Federer's record of 17, ¹vak Djokovic was askedabout the possibility of catching his two rivals.
He exhaled."I don't want to say it's too
early to talk about it," Djokovic began, then interruptedhimself with a laugh. "I mean,it's probably the right time totalk about it."
It sure is.The No. 1-ranked Djokovic
has firmly established hisbona fides as one of the greatsof the game by just about anymeasure, including his threechampionships at Wimbledon, five at the AustralianOpen, and one at the U.S.Open. By getting to GrandSlam title No. 9, he pushedahead of quite a group of guyswith eight: Andre Agassi,Jimmy Connors, Ivan Lendl,Fred Perry, Ken Rosewall.
Plus, Djokovic is 28, and by allaccounts only getting better.
As for chasing the numbers put up by contemporaries Federer andNadal?
"I'm still far, far awayfrom that. It's still a longway ahead," Djokovic
said Monday at the All England Club, about 18 hoursafter earning his third Wimbledon championship, andsecond in a row, with a 7-6(1), 6-7 (10), 6-4, 6-3 victoryover second-ranked Federer."Winning one Grand Slam,I know what it takes. It's alot of effort. A lot of thingshave to come together. So toreach these two guys wouldbe something incredible. Buthonestly, I'm not thinkingabout it now."
Instead, Djokovic said,he derives motivation &omhis "passion and love for thesport, and just the joy that Ifind in playing tennis," alongwith a sense of "responsibility" he feels to "keep going andbring joy to myself and to"those closest to him, including

his wife and their 8-monthold son, Stefan.
Djokovic also said he feels''like I have many years infront of me."
That's probably true, although it will not be easy tomaintain the pace he established recently. Over the past20 Grand Slam tournaments,Djokovic has reached 15 finals— a Federeresque rate — andwon eight. And who were the

l oss to Stan Wawrinka inthe French Open final, afterknocking out Nadal in thequarterfinals, Djokovic wouldbe heading to the U.S. Open,which he won in 2011, witha chance at a calendar-yearGrand Slam, just like SerenaWilliams.
Disappointing as that defeat against Wawrinka was,preventing him from claiminga career Grand Slam, Djokovic recovered quickly.
"Considering where I was,my state of mind, I wouldsay, three, four weeks ago,"Djokovic said Monday, "it' spretty amazing to be herewith you today as the Wimbledon champion."
I t was pointed out t oDjokovic that he is the onlyplayer who has beaten seventime Wimbledon championFederer on the grass of theAll England Club, as wellas nine-time French Openchampion Nadal on the redclay of Roland Garros.
And Djokovic happenedto do it in the span of a littlemore than a month.
"That is a great achievement, now that you mentionit," Djokovic said, leaning backin his chair. "I didn't thinkabout it, but it feels prettygood. It's probably an ultimate challenge to win againstthose two guys on their mostpreferred surfaces."
Terrific as Djokovic isowner of the best return intennis; a genius along thebaseline, thanks in part to aspeedy, sliding, body-contorting style that lets him get tonearly every ball — he is intent on improving.
That's why he broughtaboard Boris Becker as asecond coach, for example,to help his mental toughness and serve, among otherthings.Djokovic's serve is more
of an asset than ever — hesaved six of seven breakpoints Sunday — and now hehas designs on getting to thenet more often.
"There is always somethingI can work on," Djokovic said,"and I know I can get mygame to a higher level."
men who lost to Djokovic inthose eight? Federer (two),Nadal (three), and Andy Murray (three).
Not too shabby.As Federer put it during
the trophy ceremony at Centre Court on Sunday: "Novakplayed not only great todaybut the whole two weeks, plusthe whole year, plus last year,plus the year before that."If it weren't for a four-set
CLUNGBasso's withdrawl hits Contador's hopes at Tour
PAU, France (AP) — Stunningthe Tour de France on its first restday, doctors diagnosed a tumor inthe leR testicle of two-time Girod'Italia winner Ivan Basso on Monday, forcing him out of the showcase
His former rival Lance Armstrong, who survived testicularcancer that spread to his lungs andbrain, immediately twe etc d hissupport.
At age 37, Basso wasn't a contender to win the race, as the Italian was in his heyday before he wasbanned for doping. But his experience and pedigree — Basso finishedsecond at the 2005 Tour and thirdin 2004 — meant his withdrawalwas keenly felt by his team leaderAlberto Contador.
The 2007 and 2009 championmust now tackle the most arduoustwo weeks of the Tour, with decisiveclimbs in the Pyrenees and Alps,without the assistance and moralsupport of his veteran teammateand training partner.
On what is often an uneventfulday of rest and relaxation when
riders recharge their batteries before the high mountains, a visiblyshaken Basso appeared with Contador at a news conference and announced that just two hours earlier,doctors diagnosed a tumor in hisleft testicle that had been painfulsince he crashed on Stage 5.
Contador put his arm aroundBasso and vowed, his voice cracking with emotion, to do his best towin the race to honor his teammate.
Basso said he has cancer."I have a small cancer in the left
testicle," he said. "I have to stop andgo back to Italy."
But his Tinkoff-Saxo team saidm ore tests are needed to be certainthe tumor is cancerous.
"Probabilities are very high,"Pierre Orphanidis, a team spokesman, said in an Associated Pressinterview. "We still need the furtheranalysis to be 100 percent sure."Tumors can be benign, meaning
they' re not cancerous and don' tspread to other parts of the body, ormalignant, which means they arecancerous and can spread.
Armstrong, who came back from
cancer to win the Tour in seven victories later stripped from him fordoping, tweeted: "Thinking about®ivanbasso and wishing him thevery best as he embarks on his cancer journey. ¹IvanSTRONG!!"
He and Basso had memorablebattles on the Tour's roads whenboth were in their prime, long before Armstrong eventually confessed to doping. Basso served atwo-year ban for his involvementin a blood-doping ring.
In what he called "a moment ofweakness," Basso said at the timethat he "attempted doping" butnever actually went through withit. His wins at the Giro, one of cycling's three biggest stage racesalong with the tours of France andSpain, came on either side of thatsuspension, in 2006 and 2010.
Now dedicated at this 102ndTour to helping Contador win,Basso was in 158th place — out of185 remaining competitors — andtrailing race leader Chris Froomeby more than 50 minutes after ninestages.
His team said Basso will have
surgery to remove the tumor andthat other treatment will dependon the findings of more checkups.
"It has been a blow to all of us,"said Contador. "The entire teamwill give its best in order to get theyellow jersey and enjoy it in Pariswith him."
Contador, who won his secondGiro d'Italia this May, is attempting to become the first rider sinceMarco Pantani in 1998 to win thatrace and the Tour in the same year.But he heads into the Pyrenees already trailing Froome by 1 minute,3 seconds.
The time gapa will force Froome'smain rivals to attack him in themountains. Unlike last year, whenthe-then defending champion hadto pull out injured on Stage 5, hesafely negotiated bone-breakingcrashes, peloton-splitting windsand, on Stage 4, teeth-rattlingcobblestones on this Tour's openingswing from Utrecht in the Netherlands, through Belgium and acrossnorthern France.
"If nobody attacks, we' ve won therace," the manager of Froome's Sky
team, Dave Brailsford, said Monday.
Tuesday's 15-kilometer (9-mile)final ascent to the Stage 10 finishat La-Pierre-Saint-Martin is sufficiently long and arduous to providethe first acid test of which ridersare genuine contenders for victoryin Paris. The ski station perchedhigh in the Pyrenees is known forits underground network of caves.The climb up there, with leg-burning 10-percent gradients in parts,could swallow the podium ambitions of contenders who struggle.
It's the first big chance for lithe,lean climbers to shine. Froome, ahuman toothpick in Lycra, looksto be the strongest of them andseemed to actually be looking forward to the pain. His closest challenger, Tejay van Garderen of theBMC team, is 12 seconds back.
"This is the heart of the race,"Froome said Monday. "All the action is going to be happening. Weare going to see who has done theirhomework, who has got what in themountains. This is where the realrace for yellow truly starts. "
