When Bob Biggio was hired in 2011 to
oversee Boston Medical Center’s facili-
ties, hospital leaders were about to
launch a broad redesign. Yet the hospital
faced serious financial struggles. He put
the move on hold while analyzing how
the hospital used its space.
“My first impression with data I had
gathered was our campus was about
400,000 square feet bigger than it needed
to be,” Biggio said. “A square foot you nev-
er have to build is most efficient of all.”
The new design is smaller but more
efficient, handling 20 percent higher
patient volume and eliminating the
need for ambulance transportation be-
tween far-flung areas of the campus. It
cut power consumption by 42 percent
from a 2011 baseline.
Though the hospital sunk a lot of
money into the renovation, the center
was able to sell off some of its land to
help offset the costs. That led to about a

Gov. Bill Haslam pointed out the le-

intervene in Irick’s lethal injection. In
1986, a Knox County jury convicted Irick
of the murder and aggravated rape of
7-year-old Paula Dyer.
Marvin Padgett, an ordained minis-
ter of the Presbyterian Church in Amer-
ica, said he supports the death penalty
and believes the Bible permits it. But it
should not be taken lightly nor celebrat-
ed, he said.
“It is something to be approached
with gravity,” Padgett said.
The racial imbalance of those sen-
tenced to death in America concerns
Padgett. People of color account for a
disproportionate number of those sen-

American Civil Liberties Union.

Manafort trial a must for locals
Neighbors are devoted
to real-life legal drama
Kevin Johnson
USA TODAY
ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Most days, they
are among the first in line.
In a sea of dark suits, they lean more
toward summer casual and comfortable
shoes.
Outside of an army of journalists
chronicling the criminal fraud trial of
former Trump campaign chairman Paul
Manafort, few have tracked the pro-
ceedings more closely than the resi-
dents of the high-rise community that
surrounds the federal courthouse.
Many are retirees or those who work
from home. Most regard the trial as
entertainment, a curiosity or a civics
lesson. Sometimes a combination of all
three.
During opening arguments and this
week’s testimony by Manafort’s long-
time business partner Rick Gates, they
packed the benches in the ninth-floor
courtroom and in an overflow room
three floors below where the proceed-
ings were beamed in via closed-circuit
television.
Among the group was a busy knitter,
whose handiwork kept pace with the
rhythm of the lawyers’ questioning.
There have been more than a few
nappers, including a man who dozed off
during Gates’ testimony – on the right
shoulder of a journalist. The reporter
was careful not to rouse the elderly man
until it was necessary to relieve the
weight on his note-taking arm.
“Last week, I just got hooked,” said
James Dana Adams, a retired federal
worker who has been very much awake
throughout the proceedings.
Adams, who lives two blocks away
from the Albert V. Bryan U.S. Court-
house, said he followed the Manafort
case for months through news reports
but wasn’t aware until last week that
members of the public were permitted
to observe trials.
“I’ve been fascinated on so many dif-
ferent levels, watching the whole story
as it’s being pieced together in court,”
said the 66-year-old spectator, clad in
shorts and casual shirt.

Pentagon hangs on
to sexual assault study
Delayed risk report could
frighten recruits, families
Tom Vanden Brook
USA TODAY
WASHINGTON – The Pentagon again
delayed release of a report ranking the
risk of sexual assault at more than 200
military installations, comparing the
study to unleashing an untested weap-
on system, according to interviews and
documents obtained by USA TODAY.
The release of the study, rescheduled
for September, could spark concerns
among troops and their families, partic-
ularly those stationed at bases where
RAND Corp. research determines they
face the highest risk of sexual assault.
The report’s rankings will be of par-
ticular interest to the tens of thousands
of recruits who join the military each
year and their families. It could raise
questions about what choice, if any,
they have in declining assignment to a
post with a higher risk of assault and
what liability the military has for a
recruit assaulted at such a base.
The Pentagon received an updated
draft of the study July 24, four days
after USA TODAY reported that Defense
Department officials were reluctant to
release it. RAND stood by its findings.
The only changes being made to it are
to communicate its conclusions better,
according to Jeffrey Hiday, a RAND
spokesman.
The report required “additional
steps” by RAND to explain its “approach
and conclusions,” Stephanie Barna, the
top personnel official at the Pentagon,
wrote in a letter to Sen. Kirsten Gilli-
brand, D-N.Y.
Barna wrote that the Pentagon has
worked with RAND to “resolve ques-
tions about the study’s methods and
outcomes.”
She compared the report to an un-
tested weapon system.
“Just as (the Department of Defense)
would not field a weapon system with-

lived near the courthouse for several
years and had never attended a trial
before Manafort’s, said they were
moved by the divisive political climate
that reigns in and around the nation’s
capital. “We felt that this is the time we
should see our system in action,” Nancy
Seaver said.
George Seaver, a retired risk manage-
ment executive, said he and his wife had
followed the case and desired a closer
view, given its proximity to their home.
“It is interesting to see how the pro-
ceedings are going – who is telling the
truth and who isn’t,” George Seaver said.
The Seavers and Adams have been
amused by the unusually active role
played by U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis
III. The jurist, who has a taskmaster’s
reputation, has fully lived up to his
profile, continually challenging prose-
cutors to pick up the pace of the case.
and functionality, we must be certain
of the strengths, limitations and func-
tionality of the new risk estimation
analysis fielded in the RAND report,”
Barna wrote.
“We’re confident we utilized the
best scientific methodology to analyze
the available data and stand behind
both the soundness of our analysis
and our findings,” Hiday said.
The RAND study was commis-
sioned by the Pentagon in July 2016.
The aim was to review data on sexual
assault and harassment in 2014 to de-
termine how they affect the risk of as-
sault at individual bases.
RAND agreed to create supplemen-
tal products to help clarify the results
while maintaining the integrity of its
original methods and results, Air Force
Maj. Carla Gleason, a Pentagon
spokeswoman, said Wednesday.
“Just as (the Defense Department)
would not field a weapon system
without knowing its strengths,
limitations and functionality, we
must be certain of the strengths,
limitations and functionality of
the new risk estimation analysis.”
Stephanie Barna
Top personnel official at the Pentagon
“The revisions have not changed
the estimates themselves or the statis-
tical methods used to create them, nor
has the feedback from (the Depart-
ment of Defense) suggested any
specific problems with regard to these
methods,” Hiday said.
Barna told Gillibrand, who along
with Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, has
called for the release of the report, that
the Pentagon is preparing for that.
In its latest survey through Septem-
ber 2017, the Pentagon reported a
9.7 percent increase in reports of sexu-
al assault among troops. There were
6,769 reports in fiscal year 2017 com-
pared with 6,172 reports in 2016.

Maria joins ranks of Katrina
as Puerto Rico revises toll
More than 1,400 islanders
died in last year’s storm
Rick Jervis
USA TODAY
The Puerto Rican government ac-
knowledged Thursday that the death
toll from Hurricane Maria was more
than 1,400 – an estimate many times
higher than the official count it has
clung to for months.
In a draft report to Congress posted
online, the government said the death
toll is 1,427, based on public health rec-
ords. It said 527,000 homeowners re-
ported damage to their homes and
about 40 schools permanently closed
because of structural damage.
“Although the official death count
from the Puerto Rico Department of
Public Safety was initially 64, the toll
appears to be much higher,” it said.
The 411-page document, titled
“Transformation and Innovation in
the Wake of Devastation: An Economic
and Disaster Recovery Plan for Puerto
Rico,” laid out the government’s recov-
ery plans and estimated it will need
about $125 billion over the next decade
to rebuild. About $35 billion in federal
disaster recovery money has been al-
located for Puerto Rico.
The new estimate places Maria in
the category of historic deadly hurri-
canes such as Katrina, which claimed
1,800 lives after slamming into the Gulf
Coast in 2005, said George Haddow, a
senior fellow at Tulane University’s
Disaster Resilience Leadership Acad-
emy and a senior official with the Fed-
eral Emergency Management Agency
in the Clinton administration.
The higher death count is key to re-
building Puerto Rico to stand against
powerful storms, he said.
“The number of people who died
and how they died should play a role in
how they rebuild,” Haddow said.
The Puerto Rican government was
criticized for underplaying the number
of deaths from the Category 4 storm,
which hit the island Sept. 20, 2017,
est in the everyday proceedings of the
criminal justice system. He said more
people should be exposed to the legal
plight of undocumented immigrants.
Ellis’ off-the-cuff commentary is one
of the reasons Adams comes back to
court, day after day.
Jim Clark, a retired attorney, said he’s
reached a verdict, and it won’t please
Manafort.
“I’ve spent a lot of time following the
whole Trump thing,” said Clark, outfit-
ted in appropriate retirement gear of
Hawaiian shirt and sandals.
Clark said he was “convinced” that
Gates was telling the truth, despite his
many acknowledged faults.
After Gates’ testimony, there was a
drop in attendance, opening more than
few spaces on the ninth and sixth floors
of the courthouse.
Perhaps it was time for a nap.
Thousands of pairs of shoes were laid
outside Puerto Rico’s Capitol in June
to represent the island’s uncounted
dead from Hurricane Maria. EPA
causing widespread destruction and a
months-long blackout.
A New York Times analysis of island
records estimated the death toll at
about 1,052. In May, a Harvard Univer-
sity study estimated that 800 to 8,500
people died because of Maria.
Gov. Ricardo Rossello acknowledged
that the official count of 64 probably
was low but hesitated to confirm a high-
er count until further study. The govern-
ment commissioned George Washing-
ton University to conduct a more thor-
ough study, due for release this month.
Besides those killed in the storm,
scores died when they weren’t able to
access hospitals over impassable roads,
couldn’t plug in dialysis machines when
the island went dark or couldn’t cope
with the stress after the storm.
The low official death count sparked
protests in San Juan. This year, Puerto
Ricans laid thousands of pairs of shoes
outside the island’s Capitol building to
represent the uncounted dead.
How to classify hurricane-related
deaths has been debated since the
storm struck 10 months ago. Two bills
were introduced in Congress in June in
an attempt to establish a standard for
counting deaths after a natural disaster.

TODAY'S DEBATE: DEFENDING THE FINAL FRONTIER
Our view: Does the nation really
need a flashy new Space Force?
No question there is something
glamorous about the idea of a U.S.
Space Force. Little wonder that Presi-
dent Donald Trump, and chanting sup-
porters at his rallies, are so enamored
with it.
The new Space Force would, pre-
sumably, have its own spiffy new uni-
forms. Its own logo and fight song.
Maybe its own service academy and
football team!
But is the idea Vice President Mike
Pence outlined Thursday in a Pentagon
speech — creating a sixth service
branch and the first new one since the
Air Force in 1947 — the right way to
counter emerging threats in space?
There’s undoubtedly a need to beef
up U.S. defenses there, and Trump’s
push usefully highlights a serious vul-
nerability. Neither Russia nor China
can match American military prowess
on land, sea or air. A cheap workaround
is to to jam or even destroy the constel-
lation of satellites the Pentagon — and
civilian smartphone users — rely on for
communications and navigation.
Incapacitating any of the nearly 90
U.S. military orbiters could easily blind
American troops maneuvering in com-
bat on the ground. The Chinese demon-
strated in 2007 they could hit a satellite
(one of their own) with a ground-fired
missile. The Russians claim that they
also are rushing to develop ways for in-
terfering with orbiting platforms.
At least for now, though, cyber-
attacks against the United States are
more urgent threats than the militari-
zation of the final frontier, and an en-
tirely new service branch seems un-
necessary. In the past several years, the
military’s focus — as Defense Secretary
James Mattis noted last year in oppos-
ing the idea — has been to better inte-
grate existing services to reduce over-
head and duplication.
Outfitting a new branch would be
turning that doctrine on its head, par-
Opposing view: ‘Space Force is
an idea whose time has come’
Excerpts from Vice President Mike
Pence’s remarks at the Pentagon on
Thursday:
As commander in chief, President
Trump’s highest priority is the safety
and security of the American people.
Now the time has come to write the
next great chapter in the history of our
armed forces, to prepare for the next
battlefield where America’s best and
bravest will be called to deter and de-
feat a new generation of threats. The
time has come to establish the United
States Space Force.
As President Trump has said, “It is
not enough to merely have an American
presence in space; we must have Amer-
ican dominance in space.”
And so we will.
That’s precisely why we’re begin-
ning the process of establishing a
Space Force as the sixth branch of our
armed forces. Just as in the past, when
we created the Air Force, establishing
the Space Force is an idea whose time
has come.
The space environment has funda-
mentally changed in the last genera-
tion. What was once peaceful and un-

ticularly if it involves cramming 10,000
to 15,000 new headquarters staff into
the Pentagon or some annex to dupli-
cate bureaucracies of the nation’s five
existing branches (the Air Force, Army,
Coast Guard, Marine Corps and Navy).
A more prudent, if less flashy, step
would be to create a joint U.S. Space
Command that draws from all the
branches, primarily the Air Force.
Pence called for just this kind of com-
mand Thursday as an interim step
while Congress begins deliberating
whether to create a new branch.
This new command would, like the
Special Operations Command in Tam-
pa, Florida, have a dedicated revenue
stream and be led by a four-star gener-
al. Like regional commands devoted to
geographic sectors around the world, it
would be tasked with defending Amer-
ica in one specific place.
Perhaps it would make more sense
to rename the Air Force the “Air & Space
Force” than to create a whole new
branch. What really matters in the long
run, though, is developing better capa-
bility to defend U.S. assets in space, not
what you call the defenders.
contested is now crowded and adver-
sarial. Today, other nations are seeking
to disrupt our space-based systems
and challenge American supremacy in
space as never before.
As their actions make clear, our ad-
versaries have transformed space into
a war fighting domain already. And the
United States will not shrink from this
challenge. Under President Trump’s
leadership, we will meet it head on to
defend our nation and build a peaceful
future here on Earth and in space.
America will always seek peace in
space as on the Earth. But history
proves that peace only comes through
strength. And in the realm of outer
space, the United States Space Force
will be that strength in the years ahead.
Our nation’s armed forces have al-
ways been the vanguard of advancing
American leadership here on Earth and
beyond. And the Space Force is the next
and the natural evolution of American
military strength.
The United States Space Force will
strengthen our security, it will ensure
our prosperity, and it will also carry
American ideals into the boundless ex-
panse of space.

the point where the truth doesn’t matter
that much, if at all, as long as lies sup-

untruths have always been the means to
destroy democracies, enslave the pop-

How Trump has
normalized racism
Ellis Cose
A year ago, it seemed unfathomable:
a U.S. president defending “very fine
people on both sides” of neo-Nazism.
To be fair, President Donald Trump
was not calling neo-Nazis great folks
but arguing that many of the Confeder-
ate-statue-loving protesters in Char-
lottesville, Virginia, were not neo-Nazis
at all. Somehow, these “fine people” got
mixed in with white supremacists
shouting, “Jews will not replace us,”
and never noticed their compatriots
were not fine people, too.
More than a year-and-a half into
Trump’s presidency, many have ac-
cepted the reality that he’s unlike any
U.S. president previously seen, that he
wallows in divisive rhetoric and toler-
ates odious behavior because he so of-
ten indulges in it.
The trap — and one that Trump
could easily lead us into — is to start
thinking such behavior is not just nor-
mal for Trump but normal.
In addressing Charlottesville last
year, Trump was asked whether race
relations had gotten worse. He replied
that they were “better or the same,” but
added, “They have been frayed for a
long time.” Despite promising racial
harmony through job creation, he was
betting the opposite.
Indeed, his political career was built
on betting the opposite. It effectively
began with birtherism, blossomed with
talk of Mexican rapists and Muslim ter-
rorists, and flourished with allusions to
gang-bangers spilling over the border.
At a recent rally in Tampa, Florida,
he fired up the crowd by ridiculing
Democrats’ desire for “open borders,
which equals massive crime.” They
“want to let MS-13 rule our country,” he
declared, adding, “Every day the brave
men and women of ICE are liberating
communities and towns from savage
gangs like MS-13 that are occupying our
country like another nation would.”
Benjamin Wittes, editor in chief of
the Lawfare blog, spent more than a
year chasing down one of Trump’s sta-
tistics. In a speech before Congress in
February 2017, Trump cited a Justice
Department study showing “the vast
majority of individuals convicted of
terrorism and terrorism-related of-
fenses since 9/11 came here from out-
Is it proper for the accused to exoner-
ate himself?
If you happen to be a Donald Trump
voter — which would be about half of
America’s voting public — you have
probably been called a million names by
now, all trying to say you were stupid
about your vote. And the problem be-
tween the news media and Trump start-
ed because it was apparent the media
had their candidate picked in 2016, and
we the people screwed up their plan.
The media need to start reporting what
happens and not what they hope will
happen. I don’t know anyone who trusts
the media, or any other large entity —
and for good reason! We have been lied

side of our country.” After repeated re-
quests for information from the Justice
Department, Wittes concluded that the
president was lying. Justice never gen-
erated such a statistic. Nor, as fact-
checkers have confirmed, is there evi-
dence of Immigration and Customs En-
forcement liberating towns across
America from immigrant gangs.
When our president warns of hordes
pouring across the border and refers to
brown people seeking asylum as an in-
festation, it’s no surprise that people
are fretting over race relations. An NBC
News|SurveyMonkey poll this May
found that 30 percent of Americans see
race as the biggest source of division in
the country, and that 45 percent think
race relations are getting worse.
In 2009, I visited Rwanda and talked
to men who had participated in the at-
tempted genocide 15 years earlier,
many of whom were in prison. Why, I
asked, had they tortured and killed
their Tutsi neighbors? Some refused to
give a direct answer. Others claimed
they were wrongly accused. But the
typical response was they thought they
were doing what the state wanted; they
thought they were performing a service
by ridding the world of people the gov-
ernment called “cockroaches.”
We have gotten nowhere near that
point in America — yet — though one
could argue that putting immigrant
kids considered part of an infestation
in cages is a step in that direction.
A year after the tragic events in
Charlottesville, white supremacists
seem emboldened. Although part of a
street has been named for Heather
Heyer, and her accused murderer is in
jail charged with murder and federal
hate crime violations, we remain a con-
flicted nation. Indeed, that seems to be
part of Trump’s vision for our country,
but there is no reason why it should be
ours. There is no nobility in falling into
Trump’s trap or in normalizing his eth-
nic animus. Although wallowing in big-
otry might help Trump politically, it
only diminishes us as individuals and
as a people.

A year after Charlottesville:
‘Stop hating,’ mother says
She carries on activism
of daughter killed at rally
Caroline Simon
USA TODAY
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Susan
Bro is still reeling from the day a man
drove his car into a crowd of counter-
protesters at a white nationalist rally,
killing her daughter, Heather Heyer, at
age 32.
Bro, 61, was a government secretary
at a small office in nearby Greene Coun-
ty when Heyer, a legal assistant, was
taken from her Aug. 12, 2017. James Alex
Fields Jr., a young neo-Nazi, was indict-
ed in June on several hate crime charges
in the attack.
Before the first anniversary of the
tragic “Unite the Right” rally in Char-
lottesville, Bro sat down with USA TO-
DAY to discuss her life without Heyer.
She spoke from Heyer’s old law office,
where her charitable foundation is now
headquartered. The room, small but
cheerful, features paintings of Heyer,
tweets from Sen. Bernie Sanders in her
honor, inspirational quotes and flowers.
Everything is bedecked in purple,
Heyer’s favorite color.
Bro remembers vividly the day
Heather died: the paralyzing phone calls
from Heyer’s friends, the detective at
the hospital who said her daughter had
been pronounced dead, laying her head
down and wailing when her worst fears
had been confirmed.
“I never even got to see her until the
day before the funeral,” she said. “I wish
I could have seen her.”
Before her life was upended by
Heyer’s death, Bro lived a quiet life
about a half-hour outside Charlottes-
ville with her husband, Heyer’s stepfa-
ther. She had spent 18 years as a teacher
before turning to government work. She
knitted, she crocheted, she canned.
Now Bro is an outspoken activist, a
mother who has taken up the cause of a
daughter unafraid to speak out against
inequality or peacefully protest when
an uninvited crowd of white national-
ists marched through her city.
“I turned my attention to carrying
forth her message,” she said. “You don’t
get to silence my kid and get away with
it. I’m going to speak even louder.”
Bro runs the Heather Heyer Founda-
tion, which awards scholarships to
students who are passionate about
social justice. Bro isn’t sure the stark
political partisanship that divides the
country will subside during her lifetime
– and that’s why she’s “training Heath-
er’s replacement.”
Bro realized she and her daughter can
play an important role in a conversation
she sees as long overdue.
“Unfortunately, we’re still at such a
racial divide that it took a white girl dy-

event’s lead organizers, this year’s rally
is a way to change the rhetoric of the far-
right. “We’ve wanted everything to be
different in terms of our tactics and our
approach to this situation than it was
last year,” Horton said.
Horton and “three or four” female
friends made up the majority of the
women present at last year’s rally where
Heather Heyer, 32, was killed when a car
crashed into a crowd. Horton said she
wants to make Sunday safer.
“No violence should ever be neces-
sary at any of these events, regardless of
your political affiliation and beliefs,” she
said. “No violence should ever be insti-
gated, and certainly no one should ever
have to lose their lives over a political
disagreement.”
Multiple women have been instru-
mental in planning this year’s rally, Hor-
ton said. The 21-year-old said the 12-
person team is almost split between
men and women.
Jason Kessler, who obtained the per-
mit for last year’s and this year’s rally,
said having women on the “front lines”
of the movement is “invaluable.”
“I’m happy to include exceptional
women in volunteer and leadership
positions. I’ve been fortunate to have a
variety of female volunteers this year,”
Kessler said. “I’m proud of the women
who’ve volunteered their time and
effort to helping make this year’s event
possible.”

ership of far-right movements such as

ing for white people to wake up and pay
attention,” she said. People of color, she
said, “have been fighting this fight for
many years – this is not news to them.”
In the whirlwind year since her
daughter’s death, Bro has spoken to pol-
iticians, reporters and well-wishers.
She has made a “conscious effort” to
magnify her daughter’s voice. But
there’s one person with whom she has
no interest in dialogue.
During Heyer’s funeral, Bro turned
off her phone so she’d be able to focus.
When she checked it that night, she had
three “increasingly frantic” messages –
all from the White House.
She turned on the news. She saw that
President Donald Trump, in a public
Unite the Right is still rare, even if they
agree with the movement’s beliefs, said
Heidi Beirich, director of the Intelli-
gence Project at the Southern Poverty
Law Center.
“In some parts of the movement right
now, in the alt-right, the misogyny is so
rampant that it’s even worse than just
thinking that women should stay at
home and raise a family,” Beirich said.
“There’s talk of things like legitimate
rape and really egregious misogynistic
comments about women. So it’s inter-
esting to see women playing a role in
this Unite the Right reboot.”
Beirich said women might be getting
involved in the rally because many of
the groups who participated last year
aren’t returning. Multiple groups faced
lawsuits and other repercussions be-
cause of their involvement, in addition
to being removed from social media and
fundraising platforms. That absence
could leave room for women to take on
leadership roles, Beirich said.
“People have definitely left the field,
and there are a lot of folks in the alt-right
who are not happy with Kessler and,
looking back on it, don’t think the rally
was worth it for the price they paid,”
Beirich said. “That opens up some space
for other people to be involved, and per-
haps that’s part of what’s happening
with these women.”
The rally in 2017 addressed a broad
range of racial issues, such as illegal im-
migration and the backlash against
Confederate statues and memorials.
This year’s rally will focus on “white civil
rights,” according to Kessler’s permit.
Horton, who identifies as a conserva-
tive and a nationalist, said she is willing
to work with extreme groups, even
“You don’t get to silence my
kid and get away with it. I’m
going to speak even louder.”

statement, had equivocated the white
nationalists and the counterprotes-
ters, claiming there were “very fine
people” on both sides.
“I was like, ‘I’m kinda done with
this.’ I don’t really need to talk to him, I
don’t really care what he has to say,”
she said. “He’s a busy man, I’m a busy
woman. I don’t think we need to bother
each other.”
Bro isn’t surprised that some of the
same white nationalists plan an anni-
versary rally Sunday in Washington
after their attempt to reconvene in
Charlottesville was foiled. Hundreds
of far-right demonstrators were ex-
pected to march on Pennsylvania Ave-
nue, then gather in Lafayette Square to
advocate for “white civil rights.”
Bro has her own plans for that day.
She’ll visit her daughter’s grave and
lay flowers. She’ll attend an NAACP
meeting. She’ll speak about what she
thinks America must do to heal.
Bro is sure of her daughter’s mes-
sage for the world today, were she
alive: “Get your act together. Stop
hating. Treat people the way you want
to be treated.”
though some have sexist or misogynis-
tic views, because they can all be unit-
ed behind causes such as freedom of
speech.
“It isn’t necessary for us to agree on
every single thing because we have
this moderate understanding that
we’re able to have a civil conversation
and work together and cooperate
without having to agree on all of these
ideological differences,” Horton said.
Horton said the shift in this year’s
tone will attract different activists on
the right, including more women. She
said that under new rules organizers
instituted, attendees are not allowed
to bring any weapons this year, and
they can carry only American and
Confederate flags.
“I think we are appealing to a larger
number of people due to the fact that
we’re saying, ‘Hey, we’re only going to
this event to have a civil demonstra-
tion, and that is the only intention we
have,’ ” Horton said. “We are not in any
way, shape or form encouraging any
kind of violence or radicalized rhetoric
at this event.”
Kessler agreed.
“Hopefully, bringing in more wom-
en for European-American advocacy
will bring some of the testosterone-
fueled fight culture surrounding these
rallies down a notch,” Kessler said.
Beirich called the shift nothing
more than a “less obnoxious rebrand-
ing” of white supremacy and a tactic to
engage more protesters this year.
“I’m sure Kessler is thinking, ‘What
can we do to attract people to the
movement that doesn’t seem like scary
robes and crosses and torches like last
time around?’ ” Beirich said.

Pentagon
begins work
on military
Space Force
Plan would create sixth
branch of armed services
Tom Vanden Brook
USA TODAY
WASHINGTON – Vice President
Mike Pence announced Thursday that
the Pentagon has begun planning a
Space Force, embarking on an effort to
create the first armed service since
1947.
In June, President Donald Trump
called for the establishment of the
sixth armed service, to join the Air
Force, Army, Marine Corps, Navy and
Coast Guard. Thursday’s plan, which
requires authorization and funding
from Congress, would develop forces
to defend satellites from attack and
perform other space-related tasks.
China and Russia are the nation’s pri-
mary rivals in space.
The force would be created by 2020,
Pence said. Before that, the Pentagon
plans to assemble the U.S. Space Com-
mand, which would be led by a four-
star officer and draw forces from the
other armed services. A 15-page pro-
posal outlines the need
for the force and steps
to get there but no bot-
tom line, saying only
that costs associated
with it will be sent to
Congress next February.
When the proposal Mike Pence
for a separate force was
broached last year, De-
fense Secretary Jim
Mattis resisted it. He
wrote to Congress that
it would “likely present
a narrower and even pa-
rochial approach to
space operations.”
Mattis signaled this Jim Mattis
week that his thoughts
had changed.
“We need to address space as a de-
veloping war-fighting domain, and a
combatant command is certainly one
thing that we can establish,” Mattis
said. “This is a process we’re in. We are
in complete alignment with the presi-
dent’s concern about protecting our
assets in space that contribute to our
security, to our economy. And we’re
going to have to address it as other
countries show a capability to attack
those assets.”
The Pentagon’s plan, released
Thursday, identifies China and Russia
as “strategic competitors” that are “ex-
plicitly pursuing space war-fighting
capabilities to neutralize U.S. space
capabilities in a time of conflict.” Rus-
sia and China are pursuing anti-satel-
lite weapons, including lasers, to “re-
duce U.S. military effectiveness.”
Pence said the White House has
worked with Congress to develop the
plan. Next year’s budget will seek
funding and authorization for the
venture.
“We’re building bipartisan support
for our plan,” Pence said.
The top House Republican and
Democrat on an Armed Services Com-
mittee panel on strategic forces
applauded the plan. Rep. Mike Rogers,
R-Ala., and Jim Cooper, D-Tenn., said
in a joint statement that they had
warned for years about the need to
beef up military capabilities in space.
“This report is a step in a multi-year
process that we think will result in a
safer, stronger America,” the state-
ment reads.
The Air Force, the newest of the
armed services dating to 1947, has the
largest stake in space. It already
contains a Space Command, which it
established in 1982.
The new force probably would be
carved out of the Air Force, creating
two smaller, weaker services, accord-
ing to military analysts.
“This is a half-baked idea,” said Lo-
ren Thompson, a defense industry
consultant and military analyst at the
Lexington Institute. “It will disrupt
existing military relationships and add
nothing of value.
“Nobody in the Pentagon believes
creating a Space Force makes sense. If
that same view prevails in Congress,
then it isn’t going to happen.”
A better idea would be elevating an
organization within the Air Force to
deal with space, Thompson said.
“Creating a separate service will
just add to dysfunction at the Defense
Department,” he said.

The Constitution guarantees Ameri-
cans the right to free speech – but what
about when you are on Facebook?
After Facebook and other social
media services removed “The Alex
Jones Show” and other content created
by Jones-founded Infowars, the topic of
free speech online has intensified.
Almost in tandem over several hours
Sunday and Monday, Apple, YouTube,
Facebook and Spotify removed shows,
podcasts, channels and pages for the
far-right sites. Since then, LinkedIn,
Mailchimp, Pinterest and Stitcher have
removed or terminated Jones’ and Info-
wars’ accounts, too.
Jones says the move smacks of cen-
sorship. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has
griped about Facebook becoming the

the savings from manufacturer incen-
tives the dealer was passing along.
There was just one problem: The new
price was higher than the initial online
quote. But instead of making a beeline
for the door (which might have immedi-
ately given me fresh leverage in the ne-
gotiations), I opted to fight it out, steel-
ing myself for what turned out to be a
time-consuming, mind-numbing and
emotionally draining encounter.
❚ Fine print works against you: Of-
ten, buried in tiny type in the dealer’s
promotional materials are a list of in-
centives – or “potential” discounts –
that are used to calculate the car’s lower
sales price. Common discounts include
those for first responders, members of
the military or recent college grads.
The fine print proved problematic –
but not a deal breaker – in my case. I last
stepped foot in a college lecture hall in
the 1980s. And I earn a living as a jour-
nalist. I’ve never been a fireman, cop,
EMT or Navy Seal. In short, my resume
meant I wasn’t discount material. But I
protested, arguing that the price I was
quoted online was an out-the-door
price. I won that battle.
The bottom line: If the purchase price
doesn’t make financial sense once all
these price-cutting programs are ruled
out, consider foregoing the deal.
One mistake I did make was not lin-
ing up my own financing before I got to
the dealer. That proved costly when I

violating these companies’ policies on
hate speech and have taken Twitter to
task for not following suit.
Much of the discourse revolves
around whether Facebook, Twitter and
other tech companies that hold huge –
but not total – sway over how informa-

ple of free speech.
In the online world, businesses often
back the notion but aren’t legally bound
to it. Facebook, Twitter and YouTube
may be social forums, but each is run by
a company that set its own rules. These

Harley-Davidson, Indian rivalry still roars
At Sturgis, fans line up
on both sides of the street
Rick Barrett
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
USA TODAY NETWORK – WISCONSIN
STURGIS, S.D. – They’ve banged
handlebars for more than a century, and
nowhere is the battle between Harley-
Davidson and Indian Motorcycles more
apparent than at the Sturgis Motorcycle
Rally.
The rally – which continues through
Sunday and is expected to pull in about
500,000 people – is the epicenter of
spirited competition between Harley
and Indian, the last remaining major
U.S. motorcycle companies.
On Tuesday, the battle between Har-
ley and Indian was won by Indian at a
Sturgis flat-track race where the com-
pany’s bikes dominated – taking the top
12 finishing positions.
On the street, Harley and Indian are
going wheel to wheel with demo rides at
the rally, where licensed motorcyclists
can experience the differences between
the brands.
The competition is good for motorcy-
cling, said Roger Fridal, a Harley owner
from northern Utah who took two test
rides on Indians.
“I think rivalries are healthy. You
don’t want one company to have the
whole market for something because,
once they get control of it, they can do
whatever they want,” Fridal said.
Indian was founded in 1901, two years
before Harley-Davidson. The brands
fought to capture the hearts of Ameri-
can motorcyclists until 1954, when Indi-
an folded.
❚ Fond memories: “For most people,
the old Indians are remembered as
those classy bikes with the skirted fend-
ers, the Indian-head parking lights and
the funny spelled name ‘motocycle’ on
the emblems.
For Harley-Davidson, Indian was the
company that just could not compete
with Harley and win,” author Allan Gir-

“As private companies, Apple, Face-
book and Spotify can decide what con-
tent appears on their platforms, so I
wouldn’t call (the tech sites’ actions) a
violation of speech,” said Lata Nott, ex-
ecutive director of the First Amendment
Center at the Freedom Forum Institute
in Washington, D.C. That’s different
from the public sphere. Even hateful
speech is protected by the First Amend-
ment, which precludes the government
from abridging citizens’ freedom of
speech and expression.
Case in point: The First Amendment
allowed for far-right protestors last year
to publicly gather in Charlottesville, Vir-
ginia, in a protest that turned deadly.
Similarly, white nationalists have the
right to protest at a “Unite the Right”
demonstration planned Saturday in
Washington.
❚ What did Facebook and the oth-
ers say Jones and Infowars did? Face-
book said it removed four of Jones’ page
for repeatedly posting content that in-
cluded “hate speech that attacks or de-
humanizes others” and violating its pol-
icy against bullying, the network said in
a post on its website.
That echoed Apple’s statement that
it “does not tolerate hate speech.” And
YouTube pointed to Jones’ and Info-
wars’ repeated violations of its hate
speech and harassment policies for ac-
count terminations. Last week, Spotify
said it had removed some episodes of
“The Alex Jones Show” because it vio-
lated its policy against “hate content.”
Jones has gained attention for con-
spiracy theories, including his claim
that the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary
school shooting was staged. He also
called the 9/11 terror attacks a govern-
ment “inside job” and promoted the Piz-
zagate conspiracy theory.
❚ Were Jones’ and Infowars’ free
speech rights violated? No. Facebook
and other social media platforms are
private companies and have terms of
service users or consumers agree to in
order to participate. But beyond the
First Amendment, there is a “broader
social free speech principle” people may
be applying in the Jones and Infowars
case, said Alex Abdo, senior staff attor-
ney with the Knight First Amendment
Institute, a nonpartisan, not-for-profit
organization at Columbia University.
“There is this idea in this country,
since its founding, people should be free
to say what they want to say,” he said.

vidson and Indian Wars.”
Numerous attempts to revive Indian
failed, but the brand has come back with
a roar under Polaris Industries, a $5.4
billion Medina, Minnesota-based man-
ufacturer of snowmobiles and all-ter-
rain vehicles.
Polaris said its Indian motorcycle
sales grew by “mid-single digits,” in the
company’s recent fiscal quarter but
didn’t provide specifics.
Harley’s U.S. motorcycle sales were
down more than 6 percent, while its in-
ternational sales were up 0.7 percent.
Worldwide, including the U.S., sales fell
3.6 percent.
❚ Harley’s in charge: Harley’s grip on
the overall U.S. heavyweight motorcycle
market remains firm, with a market
share of nearly 50 percent. Yet Indian’s
growth is notable, coming at a time
when fewer Americans are buying big
bikes.
“Harley is obviously a very large
company, but our plan is to be a major
motorcycle manufacturer. We are really

“That is what this is about ... the ques-
tion of whether social media companies
that exercise enormous influence over
public discourse ought to directly si-
lence participants.”
❚ What about Apple and Spotify?
Like Facebook and YouTube, which is
owned by Google, each are companies.
And, in the case of iTunes, Apple is “sort
of deciding what merchandise is avail-
able” in its digital music store, the First
Amendment Center’s Nott said. Apple
still offers the Alex Jones Radio and In-
fowars apps in its app store, however.
The Infowars Official App ranked No. 3
among all News apps Wednesday.
As for Spotify, the music streaming
service is deciding what they will offer
subscribers and free listeners. “It’s a dif-
ferent analogy than like a public
square,” where the government protec-
tions of free speech would come into
play, she said.
❚ What about Twitter? CEO Jack
Dorsey in tweets late Tuesday said the
social network had not removed Jones
and Infowars’ Twitter accounts his “In-
fowars” show because “he hasn’t violat-
ed our rules. We’ll enforce if he does.”
Where Facebook says it does not al-
low hate speech, Twitter does up to a
point, Nott said. “If you attack some-
body and promote violence against peo-
ple who fall into hate speech categories
they will ban you, but they don’t explic-
itly ban hate speech,” she said.
❚ Were they justified in their re-
moval of content? Legally, yes. But for
users and lawmakers, that’s often not
the only standard.
Facebook and social media platforms
have tried to take a “try not to take any-
thing down if you can possibly avoid it
approach,” said Emma Llanso, director
of the Free Expression Project at the
Center for Democracy & Technology.
But the crisis over false news and the
manipulation of fake accounts and Rus-
sian bots on Facebook, YouTube and
Twitter has drawn congressional and
regulatory attention in recent months.
Concerns about intimidation on so-
cial networks against some groups – in-
happy with the results of the last couple
of years,” said Reid Wilson, Indian’s
senior director of marketing and prod-
uct development.
The Indian bike ties run deep in some
families.
Taylor Barnum, from Vermillion,
South Dakota, named his 2014 Indian
Vintage after his grandmother, Vanona.
“When she was a young gal, she
owned a 1946 Indian. She always loved
Indians and pushed that style of bike on
me,” Barnum said.
“I think the rivalry is awesome. It
pushes each company to come out with
something bigger and better,” he added.
Polaris has redesigned Indian bikes
from scratch. The goal has been to cap-
ture the spirit of the Chief and other In-
dians from a half-century ago but with a
modern engine and other components.
The brand languished under previ-
ous owners and, even in its prime 90
years ago, Indian’s owners were ac-
cused of draining the company’s profits
to support money-losing businesses.
In recent years, the company was
cluding women, minorities and the
LGBT community – has forced some to
act. Facebook and Twitter have public-
ly expressed efforts to lessen the abu-
sive environment on their networks.
Congress has already held hearings
in the wake of the Cambridge Analyt-
ica crisis, in which as many as 87 mil-
lion Facebook users’ data was shared,
without their knowledge, with a data
mining firm used by the Trump cam-
paign in the 2016 election. And law-
makers have voiced concerns about
fake Russian accounts and terrorist
content on Facebook, Twitter, You-
Tube and Instagram.
Earlier this year, Facebook made
public its guidelines for what users can
post on the 2.2 billion-strong service.
More than a year ago, Twitter pledged
to address complaints about racist,
sexist and anti-Semitic harassment.
As part of a balance to keep the ma-
jority of their audiences feeling safe to
use their networks, “the social media
platforms ... are going much farther
than the government ever could as far
as restricting speech,” Llanso said.
❚ What are possible repercus-
sions? Expect Congress to continue to
weigh in. Facebook has scheduled a
planned internal audit conducted by
an outside law firm in response to criti-
cism from lawmakers about the net-
work’s perceived anti-conservative bi-
as. And there will be calls for more
transparency about how social net-
works make decisions on what speech
is not allowed, too. “If the companies
want this power then they have an ob-
ligation to explain publicly when they
use it, why, and with what protections
there are against misuse,” Abdo said.
Groups including the American Civ-
il Liberties Union, the Center for De-
mocracy & Technology and other tech
experts and advocates have begun
crafting principles to prevent the
squelching of speech as social net-
works enforce content guidelines.
Silencing voices in the digital realm
is a slippery slope, Llanso says. The
promise of the internet is that its de-
centralized nature allowed for the
sharing of unlimited viewpoints.
If the tech companies’ action
against Jones and Infowars was coor-
dinated, that coordination could, in
theory, continue even into “the techni-
cal operation of the internet,” she said.
“That could make it harder to get an al-
ternate perspective out there. The
more coordination there is, the more
we have reverted to a system of cen-
tralized censorship that I think, right-
ly, we should all be concerned about.”
MONEY
dogged by engine problems and a cut-
back in the number of dealerships. In
2012, one dealer in Michigan com-
plained that it still had a new 2003 Indi-
an Scout for sale – priced at $16,000.
Polaris acquired the brand in 2011.
❚ Tugging at heartstrings: There
isn’t one piece left of the old company
from when it closed in the 1950s. But the
brand that has survived in some itera-
tion since 1901 still tugs at the heart-
strings of classic motorcycle enthusi-
asts with its powerful V-twin engines.
“There is absolutely a cadre of people
who want an American V-twin motorcy-
cle but don’t want a Harley. It’s too com-
mon for them. It’s the Chevy of Amer-
ican bikes,” said Robert Pandya, a veter-
an of the industry who has worked for
Polaris.
“When you have a sea of business-
men, it’s hard to pick out the one guy
who has the $3,000 suit. But when you
throw a leg over an Indian, instantly you
are sort of standing out,” Pandya said.
Persuading Harley-Davidson owners
to give Indian another try takes some
doing, but it worked for Jim Mead of
Milwaukee, who previously rode Har-
leys exclusively for 48 years.
Mead said he has been to Sturgis
twice on his 2015 Indian Vintage, which
he bought after trading in his 2005 Har-
ley Road King.
“I wasn’t dissatisfied with my Road
King, but I stuck a lot of money into the
motor to get the performance I wanted,”
he said.
❚ Switching to Indian: Harley-Da-
vidson is the official motorcycle of the
Sturgis Rally. But Indians are starting to
show up more now as the revived brand
has gained traction under Polaris.
Dickie Bectchkal, 70, spent decades
riding Harleys. The Milwaukee biker
switched to Indian in 2014 because he
felt that Harley had lost its mojo.
For a while, he managed an Indian
dealership.
“At 69, I got my first tattoo and it says
‘Indian.’ I never had Harley-Davidson
tattooed on my arm, as much as I loved
their bikes,” Betchkal said.
Red flags

no-go because I opted instead for the
big rebate off the sticker price. As a re-
sult, I ended up getting financing
through a bank arranged by the dealer.
I got a decent 4.49 percent rate on a 72-
month loan. Not bad. But I likely could
have locked in a slightly lower rate on
my own had I planned ahead.
❚ Beware the pen-and-paper deal
terms: My anxiety level spiked when
the finance guy sat me down to go over
the numbers using a sheet of paper
and a pen. The jumble included col-
umns of different monthly payments
based on loans lasting either 48, 60 or
72 months. The salesman also used
the pen and paper to show me how
“good” my deal was and how the dealer
was “losing money” on the price I
agreed to the night before online. Fi-
nally, he asked, “Can you meet me half-
way?” My response: “No.”
❚ They outnumber you: In my four-
hour odyssey, the first handshake was
with the internet sales specialist. I met
the salesman next. And after the sales-
man burst my bubble with new, less fa-
vorable deal parameters, he brings
over the finance guy. The so-called
sales closer-in-chief is well-trained in
getting auto buyers to pay more for a
vehicle than they had intended. Final-
ly, the finance guy who handles the
loan part of the deal comes by and
muddies things up even more. Unless
you’ve already gotten a rate and loan
approval, be ready to be told the best
rate they can get you just happens to
be higher than what you can find on
your smartphone as being the average
nationwide rate. Dealers often line you
up with a higher rate and get a com-
mission on the sale from the bank pro-
viding the funds for the loan.
❚ The waiting game: The sales
process takes forever, in my case about
four hours. It wore me down. The sales
team went back and forth on seeming-
ly every facet of the deal. I thought
about bolting, but I thought to myself,
“I can’t go home without a new car af-
ter spending my whole day here.”
So how did my day finally turn out?
I ended up buying the vehicle I came to
buy. But I have a confession: I gave in
just a wee bit on the negotiation and
agreed to up my price by $300 above
my initial quote. I’m not really sure
why. I am still beating myself up over
giving in just a little, even though it
was still a great deal.

BY WHOM?

Municipal Bonds by Hennion & Walsh –

possibly the smartest retirement investment
you’ve never heard of.
The Main Advantages of
Municipal Bonds
Investors are attracted to municipal
bonds for three reasons; safety of
principal, regular predictable income
and the tax-free benefits. Together,
these three elements can make a
compelling case for including tax-free
municipal bonds in your portfolio.
Potential Safety of Principal
When investing in municipal bonds,
investors are paid back the full face
value of their investment at maturity
or earlier if called, unless the bond
defaults. This is important because
many investors, particularly those
nearing retirement or in retirement,
are concerned about protecting their
principal. In June of 2017, Moody’s
published research that showed that
rated investment-grade municipal
bonds had an average cumulative
10-year default rate of just 0.09%
between 1970 and 2016.* That
means while there is some risk of
principal loss, investing in rated
investment-grade municipal bonds
can be an important part of
your portfolio.
Potential Regular
Predictable Income
Municipal bonds typically pay interest
every six months unless they get
called or default. That means that you
can count on a regular, predictable
income stream. Because most bonds
have call options, which means you
get your principal back before the
maturity date, subsequent municipal
bonds you purchase can earn more
or less interest than the called bond.
According to Moody’s 2017 research,*
default rates are historically low for
the rated investment-grade bonds
favored by Hennion & Walsh.
Potential Tax-Free Income
Income from municipal bonds is not
subject to federal income tax and,
depending on where you live, may

also be exempt from state and

Rite Aid’s future unclear Tribune nixes $3.9B

tie-up with Sinclair
after merger collapses Mike Snider
USA TODAY

Tribune Media has called off the planned $3.9 bil-

Drugstore chain, Albertsons say
they ‘mutually agreed’ to kill deal
Nathan Bomey
USA TODAY
Rite Aid is abandoning its merger with supermarket
giant Albertsons after facing opposition from certain
investors and advisers, further clouding the ailing
drugstore giant’s future.
As its two biggest rivals, CVS and Walgreens, keep
getting bigger and more diversified, Rite Aid was hop-
ing to do the same by arranging a tie-up with Albert-
sons. Privately held Albertsons was hoping to use the
deal to go public. Rite Aid and Albertsons said late
Wednesday they “mutually agreed” to kill the deal.
The deal’s demise reiterates questions about the fu-
ture of Rite Aid as a standalone entity. The company
has been scrambling to find its footing in recent years
as pharmacies face cost pressures in the health care
industry, including declining reimbursement funds.
“The termination of the merger with Albertsons
leaves Rite-Aid at a big disadvantage as it neither has
the scale nor the balance sheet to compete with much
larger and well-capitalized rivals like CVS and Wal-
greens,” Moodys Vice President Mickey Chadha wrote.
“Although the termination is also a big blow to Albert-
sons’ long-desired goal to go public, it is in a better
competitive position in the supermarket space than
Rite-Aid is in the retail pharmacy sector.”
The combined company was supposed to have
about 4,900 locations with 4,350 pharmacies and 320
clinics serving more than 40 million customers a
week. Most Albertsons pharmacies were to be re-
named Rite Aid. But the deal collapsed after key in-
vestors and two investor advisory groups, Glass Lewis
and Institutional Shareholder Services, voiced oppo-
sition. Among the issues was price, with opponents
believing Rite Aid shareholders should be receiving
more. The deal was said to be worth $24 billion.
While multiple large investors apparently opposed
the deal, investors as a whole are concerned about the
merger’s implosion. Rite Aid shares plunged more

than 10 percent in midday trading Thursday to $1.56.
“While we believed in the merits of the combina-
tion with Albertsons, we have heard the views ex-
pressed by our stockholders and are committed to
moving forward and executing our strategic plan as a
standalone company,” Rite Aid CEO John Standley
said in a statement.
As for whether Rite Aid and Albertsons made
sense as partners from a strategic perspective, Neil
Saunders, managing director of GlobalData Retail,
found the proposal uninspiring.
“The idea of creating a food, health and wellness
giant was always fanciful,” Saunders wrote. “Neither
Albertsons nor Rite Aid are stellar retailers. The for-
mer has a tired and shabby store portfolio that is in
desperate need of investment, while the latter also
has a retail proposition that is far from cutting edge.”
Rite Aid’s competitors have made moves to bolster
their businesses. CVS is close to finishing its massive
deal to acquire health insurer Aetna. Walgreens re-
cently bought more than 1,900 Rite Aid stores for $4.2
billion, giving it 9,964 U.S. locations. Rite Aid has
about 2,533 stores left. CVS has about 8,130 standa-
lone stores and 1,702 pharmacies inside Target loca-
tions. All three major drugstore chains are facing se-
rious threats, including Amazon’s looming decision
to enter the online pharmacy business.
lion sale of 42 TV stations to the Sinclair Broadcast
Group, saying the nation’s largest broadcast chain
breached its contract by misleading regulators dur-
ing the transaction’s approval process.
Chicago-based Tribune said Thursday it filed a
lawsuit against Sinclair, seeking to recoup losses that
occurred during the failed merger discussions “in-
cluding but not limited to approximately $1 billion of
lost premium to Tribune’s stockholders and addi-
tional damages in an amount to be proven at trial,”
the complaint says.
The deal, announced in May 2017, would have giv-
en Hunt Valley, Maryland-based Sinclair, already the
nation’s largest U.S. broadcaster, a total of 215 TV sta-
tions and a reach of 71 percent of U.S. homes.
But last month, the Federal Communications
Commission voted unanimously to send the deal to
an administrative law judge for review after FCC
Chairman Ajit Pai said he had “serious concerns” that
Sinclair could unlawfully continue to control some
stations it divested to achieve the deal’s approval.
Sinclair’s planned transfer of three TV licenses
raised “significant questions as to whether those pro-
posed divestitures were in fact ‘sham’ transactions,”
the agency said in its order to send the merger to the
judge. A transaction’s review by an administrative
law judge often signals the demise of a deal.
“In light of the FCC’s unanimous decision, refer-
ring the issue of Sinclair’s conduct for a hearing be-
fore an administrative law judge, our merger cannot
be completed within an acceptable timeframe, if
ever,” Tribune Media’s CEO Peter Kern said in a state-
ment Thursday. “This uncertainty and delay would
be detrimental to our company and our shareholders.
Accordingly, we have exercised our right to terminate
the Merger Agreement, and, by way of our lawsuit,
intend to hold Sinclair accountable.”
Tribune charges Sinclair with misleading the FCC
or acting “with a lack of candor,” during the process.
The merger had attracted attention because of
how it would expand Sinclair’s historic reach into
U.S. homes, the conservative bent of the media com-
pany’s owners and their habit of requiring local TV
stations to run corporate messages.

■ 48‑HOUR DISTRIBUTION: These seldom seen uncut sheets of new $2 bills are being moved from the private vaults of the Lincoln Treasury for immediate distribution to U.S. residents.
Residents who beat the 48‑hour order deadline to get protective Bankers Portfolios for just $38 per portfolio are getting the valuable uncut sheets of never circulated $2 bills for just face value.
That’s a real steal because only those residents whose zip code appears on the Distribution List are getting the Bankers Portfolios full of real money just by calling 1‑800‑601‑3407 to beat the 48‑
hour deadline.

U.S. zip codes turn up cash for residents

U.S. Gov’t issued uncut sheets of money are actually being handed over to the first U.S. callers who find their zip
code on the distribution list below and beat the 48-hour order deadline to get Bankers Portfolio full of real money
U.S. residents who find their zip code on
the Distribution List will feel like they just
won the lottery.
That’s because for the next 48 hours,
uncut sheets of never circulated $2 bills are
being released by the Lincoln Treasury not
to banks, not to dealers and not just to the
rich and famous, but directly to U.S. resi‑
dents who beat the order deadline.
The only thing residents need to do is
look for their zip code on the Distribution
List printed in today’s publication. If their
zip code appears on the list, they need to
immediately call the Distribution Hotline
before the 48‑hour order deadline ends to
get the protective Bankers Portfolios each
loaded with its own uncut sheet of never
circulated $2 bills. But only those residents
whose zip code appears on the Distribu‑
tion List can even get the protective Bank‑
ers Portfolios full of real money.
“The uncut sheets of $2 bills are being
released until the 48 hour deadline ends.”
said Timothy J. Shissler, Executive Director
of Vault Operations at the private Lincoln
Treasury.
“That’s why we’ve set up a Toll Free Dis‑
tribution Hotline to make sure residents
get them now,” he said.
“This announcement is being so wide‑
ly advertised because everything in our
vault is available to the general public for
the next 48 hours. So residents who want
to get the uncut sheets of never circulat‑
ed $2 bills had better hurry and call right
now,” Shissler said.
Those who want to get in on this now
need to beat the deadline. Just think what
they could be worth someday.
“Currency values always fluctuate, and
there are never any guarantees. But at just
$38 the Bankers Portfolio is a real steal
since the first U.S. callers who beat the
48‑hour deadline are getting the never cir‑
culated U.S. Gov’t issued uncut sheet of
money for just face value,” Shissler said.
“It wouldn’t surprise anyone to see uncut
money sheets on display in the Oval Office
or under guard at the Smithsonian,” he said.
“In fact, they are so seldom seen, banks
don’t even have them. That’s why I’ve issued
a directive to release all of the never circu‑
lated uncut sheets of $2 bills from our pri‑
vate vault reserve to residents of the U.S..
Residents whose zip code is not on the Dis‑
tribution List can’t have our Bankers Port‑
folio loaded with these uncut sheets of $2
bills,” Shissler said.
“These uncut sheets of Gov’t issued $2
bills will be highly sought after and are
extremely popular to hand out as gifts for
friends and family,” he said.
Most people have never even seen one
of these full uncut sheets of four never cir‑
culated bills.
“We’re bracing for all the calls. With just
hours left, we’re doing our best to make
sure U.S. residents get through. But, it is
important that residents find their zip code
on the Distribution List and call the Toll
Free Hotline right away to beat the dead‑
line.” he said.
“We’re allowing residents whose zip code
appears on the Distribution List to claim as
many as 10 Bankers Portfolios. But, since
you can’t get these protective Bankers Port‑
folios full of U.S. Gov’t issued uncut sheets
of money at banks, credit unions or even
the Federal Reserve the limits will be strictly
enforced,” Shissler said.
“So, residents who want these Gov’t issued
uncut sheets of real money need to call right
now. If lines are busy keep trying, we promise
to answer all calls,” Shissler said. ■

How to get the money

The Toll Free Distribution Hotline opens at 8:30am today for U.S. residents only.
The Lincoln Treasury has authorized the release of uncut sheets of never circulated
$2 bills to residents who beat the 48‑hour deadline. If lines are busy, keep trying all
calls will be answered. If you miss the deadline you’ll be turned away from this offer
and forced to wait for future announcements in this publication or others, if any.
The only thing readers need to do is find their zip code on the Distribution List
below and be one of the first residents who call and beat the order deadline to get
the protective Bankers Portfolios, for just $38 per portfolio and shipping. Everyone
who does is instantly being awarded the valuable uncut sheets of never circulated
$2 bills for just face value. There is a strict limit of 10 portfolios per household. To
get yours call the Toll Free Hotline number below.

The Note9 camera can warn if a subject blinked or if a picture was blurry, the lens was smudged or backlighting messed up image quality. EDWARD C. BAIG/USA TODAY
Samsung Galaxy Note9 solid, pleasing
Camera that alerts
you when you blink
among features
Personal Tech

USA TODAY
BROOKLYN – Samsung’s Galaxy
Note customers are the company’s most
loyal and forgiving bunch given the ca-
lamity Samsung endured a couple of
years ago with the thrice-recalled Note 7
phones, whose batteries caught fire.
Last year’s Note8 model helped Sam-
sung move past that crisis.
That frees Samsung this time around
to concentrate on the features it is
counting on to woo buyers to the expen-
sive new Galaxy Note9 phablet phone
that the South Korean tech giant un-
veiled at a media gathering at the Bar-
clay Center arena here Thursday.
A longer-lasting battery, for starters.
A Bluetooth-capable S Pen stylus that
doubles as a remote control for your
presentations and selfies. And a camera
that alerts you when the person you’re
photographing blinks, supplying imme-
diate feedback to reshoot right there.
If none of the aforementioned fea-
tures motivates you, Samsung hopes
dishing out 15,000 V-bucks and a spe-
cial “skin” for the wildly popular “Fort-
nite” game might do the trick, under a
promotion running through Aug. 23. If
you’re not a gamer, you can request a
pair of AKG noise-canceling head-
phones instead. Or get both for $99.
Samsung also announced that the
Galaxy S7, and all of its premium phones
and tablets that have come out after it,
will get exclusive first dibs to the An-
droid version of “Fortnite.”
My immediate impression: The
Note9 looks to be a solid phone that will
please fans. It is attractive to look at and
‘Fortnite’ for Android officially arrives for Galaxy phones
Eli Blumenthal
USA TODAY
The long wait for “Fortnite” on An-
droid is over.
After months of anticipation, Epic
Games has finally released an Android
version of its popular free shooting
game, partnering with Samsung to
make the app available on its devices
before other Android handsets. It’s been
on rival Apple iPhones since last year.
Users of Samsung’s Galaxy S7, S8
and S9 phones (as well as “edge” and
“plus” varieties”) can now download the
“Fortnite” beta. Users of Samsung’s Tab
S3 and recently announced Tab S4 tab-
lets are also able to get in on the fun.
hold. But it’s not a must-upgrade if you
have last year’s model, and on the sur-
face, not a game-changer. I wouldn’t ex-
pect many iPhone converts, either,
since Apple users tend to be loyal to iOS
and the Apple ecosystem, just as the
Samsung crowd prefers Android.
Preorders for the Note9 begin just af-
ter midnight Friday, with the phones
reaching online and physical retailers
starting Aug. 24. But be prepared to part
with an iPhone X-like ransom: $999.99
for a Note9 with 128GB of storage and
6GB of RAM, or $1,249.99 for 512GB and
8GB.
❚ Is the pen mightier than the
screen? The Notes, of course, were the
devices that way back in 2011 ushered in
the era of now common large-screen
phones. And these days, with even
Samsung’s S-series flagships such as
the S9 and S9+ providing ample display
real estate, screen size is less of a differ-
entiator than it once was.
Indeed, the 6.4-inch Super AMOLED
Infinity Display -- Samsung’s vibrant
looking screen technology -- is a mere
bump up from the 6.3-inch screen on
the Note8 and the 6.2-inch screen on the
Galaxy S9+. The latest display is flanked
by narrow bezels on the side and slightly
wider ones on the top and bottom.
Worth pointing out: There’s no “notch”
covering the camera on the front of the
screen, as there is on the iPhone X.
The attraction, then, for many buyers
comes with the S Pen that has gained
additional functionality through the
years, from writing, drawing and taking
notes to more recently giving you the
ability to create animated GIFs and
translate text.
Adding Bluetooth Low Energy for the
first time lets you use the S Pen with the
press of a button to wirelessly control a
PowerPoint, play music and operate the
camera, among other customizable and
potentially useful tasks. Since the pen
now has Bluetooth, it must be charged
inside the phone. But it can reach a full
charge in 40 seconds, Samsung says.

Preorders for the Note9
begin just after midnight
Friday, with the phones
reaching online and physical
retailers starting Aug. 24.
But be prepared to part with
an iPhone X-like ransom.
The S Pen is now color coordinated
with the colors of the new handsets
themselves: ocean blue and lavender.
❚ New camera tricks: I’m mostly
looking forward to taking pictures. As
with its immediate predecessor, the
Note9 has dual 12-megapixel cameras,
each with optical image stabilization
and with wide-angle and telephoto
shooting options. It boasts the same
dual aperture feature that debuted on
the S9 and S9+, which approximates
how the human eye works. For example,
the Note9 camera opens wider, as our
iris does, in dimly lit surroundings.
What’s new, though, is a “scene opti-
mizer” feature that uses artificial intelli-
gence to automatically identify the en-
vironment or thing you’re shooting. A
flower, a person, birds, text, food and
the beach are among the 20 scenes the
camera purports to detect. And when it
does, it is supposed to apply the proper
color saturation, white balance, bright-
ness and contrast settings, all in a frac-
tion of a second, without you having to
do anything special. This feature is on
auto mode by default. A skilled photog-
rapher still has the option to access
manual camera controls.
Another new photographic trick
called flaw detection will alert you when
a subject blinked just after you took the
picture. It worked in a quick test when I
intentionally shut my eyes. Flaw detec-
tion also promises to flag you if a picture
Unlike other Android games, Sam-
sung users need to go to the company’s
“Samsung Game Launcher” app and not
Google’s Play Store to download “Fort-
nite.”
While not the traditional method for
distributing games, given the popular-
ity of in-game purchases on “Fortnite,”
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney told The
Verge that the company is taking this
approach in part as a way to bypass
Google’s 30 percent cut of in-app pur-
chases made on apps users download
from the Play Store.
In-game purchases of skins, dance
moves, axes and other items have
helped “Fortnite” earn more than $1 bil-
lion in revenue even though the game it-

was blurry, the lens was smudged or
backlighting messed up image quality.
❚ What else? In general terms, this
latest Note represents what appears to
be a mostly iterative update, highlight-
ed by the bigger (4000mAh) battery, ex-
tra generous storage options and a more
robust octa-Core (Qualcomm Snap-
dragon 845) processor that promises
snappy performance. These are all wel-
come upgrades, but whether it justifies
the price tag is up to the individual user.
The phone otherwise delivers pretty
much all the other features you’ve come
to expect on a premium Samsung hand-
set: USB-C fast charging, wireless
charging, water resistance, iris and fin-
gerprint scanner, KNOX security and fa-
cial recognition.
Through technology included on the
Note9 called Samsung DeX, coupled
with an optional $49.99 HDMI adapter
and monitor, you can use the handset as
part of a virtual PC-like desktop experi-
ence, with the monitor in some cases
serving as a second screen. The phone
also has stereo AKG speakers.
Meanwhile, Samsung’s Bixby digital
assistant is on the new phone, too, but I
need to be convinced that is has become
more useful than it has been on earlier
Samsung phones, and the rival assis-
tants it must play catch up against, no-
tably Amazon’s Alexa, the Google Assis-
tant and Apple’s Siri.
Bixby will have a role, of course, in
the Galaxy Home smart speaker that

clay’s Center (with no pricing or avail-
ability date yet). And Bixby will also be
on the new Galaxy Watch smartwatch
models was also announced in Brook-
lyn; these arrive August 24 and start at
around $330.
Samsung claims the Note9 supports
the fastest network speeds available in
the market (up to 1.2 gigabits per sec-
ond) but is not yet “5G” ready for when
the next generation of wireless starts to
get deployed in limited markets in the
U.S. this year.
self is free and the purchases don’t pro-
vide any competitive advantage.
Samsung says it has the Android ex-
clusive on Fortnite for a “few days.”
Players who buy the new Galaxy Note
9 or Tab S4 get another perk: access to a
unique “Fortnite” Galaxy skin. Samsung
is also offering a preorder bundle for the
Note9 that includes 15,000 of the game’s
virtual “V-Bucks” currency – or $150
worth if valued as traditional U.S. dol-
lars – which can be used to make addi-
tional purchases.
As with most other versions of “Fort-
nite,” Android players will be able to play
with gamers on Xbox, Nintendo Switch,
PC or even those playing on Apple’s
iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.

Elliott looks to build off first win

Driver seeks repeat after
Monster Energy NASCAR
Cup Series breakthrough
Mike Hembree
USA TODAY

Now it’s clear that Chase Elliott can

win a race.
Can he win a championship?
During all the hand-wringing over El-
liott’s struggles to win for the first time
on the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup
Series and his string of eight runner-up
finishes without a victory, his 2017 run
in the playoffs sometimes was forgot-
ten. He almost made the Final Four last
season, barely missing a chance to race
for the title at Homestead-Miami
Speedway despite his winless status.
After wiping that zero from racing’s
most important column with a thrilling
win over Martin Truex Jr. last Sunday at
Watkins Glen International, Elliott’s fo-
cus now is improving his week-to-week
performance as the playoffs approach.
The playoff opener is scheduled for
Sept. 16 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Next up is Sunday’s Consumers En-
ergy 400 (2:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN) at
Michigan International Speedway,
where Elliott has five top-10 finishes in
five races. Three of his runner-up finish-
es were logged at MIS.
The “almost” tag stuck to Elliott like
industrial glue.
“I definitely think there were some
opportunities to win that I didn’t capi-
talize on,” he said. “But looking at the
way we ran last fall, I was pretty confi-
dent in the fact that if we had things go-
ing the right direction that we could run
with those guys. In my opinion, we
showed that pretty well.

Moss describes hate mail

over Hall induction tie
Tom Schad
USA TODAY
Pro Football Hall of Fame wide re-
ceiver Randy Moss told The Undefeated
he has received praise from fellow ath-
letes about the tie he wore at his induc-
tion ceremony last weekend — but also
hundreds of messages with undertones
of hate.
In an interview with the website pub-
lished Thursday, Moss said more than
20 NBA and NFL athletes have reached
out privately to thank or applaud him
after he wore a tie that listed the names
of a dozen black men and women who
have been killed by police.
But Moss also said he has gotten
“probably 150 to 200 messages” that
amounted to hate mail.
“The black community praised me
and thanked me for shedding light on
African-Americans dying,” Moss told
The Undefeated. “Then on the flip side,
you’ve got sites where people are slam-
ming me, saying, ‘Hey, (racial epithet),
stay in your place.’
“All of this hate mail I’m getting for
wearing a tie and talking about the
truth. But I can handle it because I’ve
been dealing with racism my whole life.”
Moss told The Undefeated he decid-
ed in February he would wear the tie,
which he said was intended to show
support for the families of those who
were killed and “not to divide.”
The first-ballot inductee played for
the Vikings, Raiders, Patriots and 49ers
over his 14-year career.
“We’ve got to admit to the problem.
Everybody,” Moss told the website.
“What if black police officers around the
country were going up in these white
neighborhoods with rich white kids and
started killing them? What would peo-
ple say about that?

PGA CHAMPIONSHIP

Inspired by Lyle, Fowler shoots 65

American pays tribute to Australian pro golfer who lost his battle with cancer
Zak Keefer
USA TODAY
ST. LOUIS – After a few hours of
darn-near perfect golf, a kiss from his
fiancée and a “Great round, buddy!”
from his pal Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fow-
ler spoke about the friend he lost and
the inspiration he now carries with him.
His name was Jarrod Lyle, the 36-
year-old Australian pro golfer who lost
his battle with leukemia Wednesday af-
ter fighting the disease off and on since
he was 17. Fowler had chatted with him
as recently as last Friday.
“Jarrod wouldn’t want us feeling sor-
ry for him, or feeling bad or anything,”
Fowler said. “He’d probably come out
here and kick us in the butt and tell us to
man up and go have some fun.”
So Fowler did. Had fun to the tune of
an opening-round 65 at the 100th PGA
Championship Thursday at Bellerive
Country Club outside St. Louis, and the
lowest score he’s ever carded in 31 career
rounds in this tournament. Gary Wood-
land shot a 64 to take the lead as part of
the afternoon wave of players.
With his friend in his thoughts, Fow-
ler — widely considered to currently
hold the mantle of Best Player To Never
Win a Major — has, through one round
at least, put himself squarely in conten-
tion to finally break through.
Instead of allowing his emotions to
sidetrack him, Fowler said the memo-
ries of Jarrod, and the spirit in which he
attacked the disease, lifted him through
the round. “It helps you,” Fowler said.
“Being able to focus on the shot or
what’s at hand there, and then in be-
tween, being able to think about Jarrod
and his family and everything they’re
dealing with and the impact he’s had on
Rickie Fowler wore a Leuk the Duck pin on his hat Thursday in honor of Jarrod
Lyle, the golfer who lost his fight with leukemia. JOHN DAVID MERCER/USA TODAY SPORTS
everyone out here.”
Jason Day, a native Australian who
early in his pro career lived across the
street from Lyle and his family, fought
back tears after his 67.
“It’s hard, because you sit there and
you know him and he’s a buddy of yours,
and he’s not there anymore,” Day said.
“He’s never going to come back. That’s
the hardest thing to sort of come by.”
Fowler, like Day and most of the tour
pros, found out the news Wednesday
night. In an instant, the navy shirt he
was scheduled to wear in Thursday’s
round was scrapped. He’d wear yellow
— Jarrod’s favorite, and the color of the
Challenge organization that helps chil-
dren battling cancer, which Lyle sup-
ported for years. Last week, Fowler wore
a pin supporting Lyle on the side of his
Puma hat. Thursday it was front and
center.
“A little bittersweet,” Fowler said.
“You’re trying to go out there and keep
living life like he did, but it’s unfortunate
that he’s not here with us.”
As for the elephant in the room, Fow-
ler, the ninth-ranked player in the
world, is 35 major championships into
his career and still chasing his first tri-
umph. He’s come agonizingly close,
over and over and over, yet seemed gen-
uinely unfazed by whatever outside
pressure encircles him during weeks
like this.
Take Thursday: He drilled all but
three fairways, hit 16 of 18 greens and
needed only 29 putts. It was an absolute
clinic.
He’s got the game to get it done. Fow-
ler knows this.
“I don’t have to play special to win,”
he said. “Like I said, wear out fairways,
wear out greens, and keep it as stress
free as possible and keep picking apart
this golf course.”
Fowler was then asked if he knew
how long it took the likes of Phil Mick-
elson to get the monkey off his back.
Mickelson, owner of five major wins to-
day and already a Hall of Famer, owned
the Best Player to Never Win a Major ti-
tle for a lengthy stretch in the late 1990s
and early 2000s. His long-awaited tri-
umph finally arrived at the 2004 Mas-
ters, the 47th major championship he’d
entered.
Mickelson was 33 by then and had
slogged through nine top-five finishes
before finally winning.
Fowler, 29, is playing in Major No. 36
and has eight top-fives, including a solo
second at this year’s Masters.
“I always have hope,” Fowler said. “I
know Phil didn’t win until his 30s. I
don’t know the exact numbers, but it’s
not something I worry about. Keep put-
ting ourselves in position, get in conten-
tion, we have had plenty of runner-ups.
Jack (Nicklaus) had a lot of runner-ups,
(so) we’ll just keep beating down that
door.”

Tiger kind of turn the tide going into the back

Double bogey. Two holes in and
Woods was 3 over.
But after Tiger changed his stripes
with a switch of shirts just past the 12th
tee, necessitated not to alter the mojo
but because, as he said, “I sweat a lot,”
Woods made birdie from 2 feet. But then
he had an adventure in the woods on the
15th but managed to save par, then bo-
geyed the 16th with a miserable tee shot.
He came up short with a sand wedge
again on the 17th and was forced to
scramble for par. He should have been
5 over, not 3 over.
Thankfully for Tiger, that ended the
first act, where he hit the fairway in reg-
ulation just two of six times, hit just
three of eight greens. Those were like his
early-season numbers when he wasn’t
quite back to full speed.
Tiger Woods looks out from a bunker on the 17th hole during his first round of
the PGA Championship at Bellerive Country Club. JEFF CURRY/USA TODAY SPORTS
But starting on the 18th, Tiger be-
came the A-list star the fans wanted to
see. After a fairway-splitting drive, he
stuck a 7-iron to 4 feet and made birdie,
then bounded to the first tee with his
first sign of energy all day. “It was nice to
nine with that birdie,” Woods said.
The tide continued to roll on the front
nine as he added two birdies and missed
several good chances for more red num-
bers. After being so erratic off the tee, he
found the fairway seven of his last eight
attempts, found the green eight of his
last 10 approaches. After a 37 on his
opening nine, he came home with a 33.
“It kept me in the golf tournament,”
Woods said of his last 10 holes. “I could
have easily gone the other way, being
3 over through two. A lot of things could
happen. Not a lot of them were positive,
but I hung in there and turned it around.
I was able to grind out a score today.”
Woods has grinded often in his re-
turn to professional golf following spi-
nal fusion surgery. In many ways, it’s
the best thing he’s done during his
comeback that has included six top-12
finishes in 13 starts.
But Woods is hoping for a smoother
act in the second round, when he again
joins Justin Thomas and Rory McIlroy
beginning at 2:48 p.m. ET Friday. The
crowds will be massive again.
What Tiger will they see?

Captain Furyk outshines 2 Ryder Cup hopefuls at PGA

Brentley Romine
GolfWeek
USA TODAY Network
ST. LOUIS – Thursday was supposed
to be a time for Ryder Cup hopefuls Xan-
der Schauffele and Tony Finau to build
upon their cases to make U.S. captain
Jim Furyk’s team.
However, it was the 48-year-old Fu-
ryk putting together the round of the
grouping on a sweltering Midwest sum-
mer day at Bellerive. Furyk shot 1-under
69, one better than Schauffele and five
fewer than Finau, in the opening round
of the 100th PGA Championship.
“I still have the fire to want to play
and compete, and I’m practicing at
home,” said Furyk, making his 13th start
of the season this week. He tied for 45th
two weeks ago in Canada and will play
the Wyndham Championship next
week.
“Priorities have changed; my family’s
always first, but the Ryder Cup is defi-
nitely my top priority under that and
then golf is down the list, probably No. 3
right now.”
Furyk missed just three fairways and
when he did hit an errant shot off the
tee, he avoided trouble. At the par-4
fifth hole, he got a nice kick off a tree and
Ryder Cup captain Jim Furyk shot 69 in
the PGA Championship on Thursday.
JOHN DAVID MERCER/USA TODAY SPORTS
was able to save par after laying up and
making a 20-foot putt. He birdied four
holes, including three of his first five,
climbing to the top of the leaderboard
early at 2 under.
“He happens to be a captain this
year,” Schauffele said, “but just like any
other golfer out here he’s trying to win
this tournament.”
Furyk’s most impressive birdie came
at the par-4 fourth. At 503 yards, the
fourth demanded a driver off the tee and
then a 3-wood into the green from Fu-
ryk. From 235 yards out, Furyk’s ap-
proach ended up 35 feet away. He made
the putt as his playing competitors
dropped shots, Schauffele making bo-
gey and Finau making double after
needing five shots to get his ball on the
green.
Finau made four birdies, all on the
front — or second — nine. But he missed
half of his 14 fairways and made two
double bogeys. For a player who has fin-
ished in the top 10 in each of the year’s
first three majors, it was a disappointing
day for the 28-year-old, who sits 13th in
Ryder Cup points.
Schauffele, 24, also has had a strong
year in the majors, tying for sixth at the
U.S. Open and nearly winning the Brit-
ish Open before sharing second. He is
11th in the Ryder Cup standings and was
playing with Furyk for the first time in a
competitive round. (Schauffele did play
a few practice holes with Furyk during
the OHL Classic at Mayakoba in 2016
and spoke with his potential captain at
length during a gala for the CVS Health
Charity Classic in June.)
The Ryder Cup talk was non-existent
Thursday for the prospective rookies,
who understandably were trying to
keep focus on the current tournament.
One would think playing with Furyk
would make that task tougher, but
Schauffele didn’t feel like he and Finau
were playing under a microscope.
“He’s a really easygoing guy,” Schauf-
fele said of Furyk. “He’s not putting any
pressure on us.”
Major heat put plenty of pressure on
Schauffele early. It was a rough start for
the San Diego State product as he bo-
geyed three of his first six holes. Howev-
er, he made birdie putts of 10 feet, 5 feet,
24 feet and 3 feet on the front side to
battle back to even par.
Furyk liked what he saw, especially
out of Schauffele.
“He seemed pretty unflappable,
seemed like a guy that doesn’t let much
bother him, lets it roll off his back and
goes to the next hole,” Furyk said. “I was
impressed with the way he conducts
himself and the way he handles him-
self.”
On Thursday, though, it was Furyk
who was arguably most impressive.

Booker and De’Angelo Hender-
son and rookies Royce Free-
man, David Williams and Philip
Lindsay. Freeman, a third-
rounder from Oregon, has been
gaining momentum, but a
starter might not be named un-
til September. Lindsay, a Den-
ver native, is an intriguing op-
tion as a third-down back if he
ends up on the roster for his
kick-returning skills.
Dolphins’ running back
Dolphins coach Adam Gase
said this week that he listed 35-
year-old veteran Frank Gore
and incumbent starter Kenyan
Drake as co-starters on the first
depth chart just to “be an (ex-
pletive),” but the move also
shows the starting job remains
at least somewhat open. It
would be unwise to dismiss
Gore simply because of his age.
His extreme work ethic, veter-
an savvy and extra motivation
to play well in his hometown
might give Gore the push he
needs to take over some of
Drake’s workload, though the
third-year back is the more dy-
namic option.
Cowboys’ No. 1
wide receiver
With the team’s release of
Dez Bryant in March, the Cow-
boys still don’t have a lead tar-
get for Dak Prescott. In a very
un-Cowboy-like maneuver,
Dallas appears likely to wait on
establishing a clear No. 1 receiv-
er, at least initially. Cole Beas-
ley is secured in the slot,
though Dallas could opt to
move him all over the field. De-
onte Thompson, who played
last year with the Bears and
Bills, and rookie Michael Gallup
are likely depth options,

though Gallup has impressed in
training camp. The biggest op-
portunities might be given to
Terrance Williams, who has
been Dallas’ No. 2 target and is
coming off of foot surgery that
forced him to miss the entire
offseason program, and Allen
Hurns, formerly of the Jaguars.
Hurns is the only one with a
1,000-yard receiving season,
though he has been limited by a
groin injury.
Packers’ No. 3 wide
receiver
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers
on Tuesday ripped into Green
Bay’s younger receivers, saying
“the effort level was very low”
in a practice session, though he
praised Geronimo Allison,
DeAngelo Yancey and Jake Ku-
merow. “Everybody else,”
Rodgers said, “was kind of piss
poor.” The Packers are set with
Davante Adams and slot re-
ceiver Randall Cobb as their top
targets, but Green Bay needs a
third. Allison appears to be sep-
arating himself from the
bunch. Kumerow, formerly on
the Bengals practice squad but
who hasn’t appeared in a game,
has consistently made plays in
training camp. The three rookie
draft picks — J’Mon Moore,
Marquez Valdes-Scantling and
Equanimeous St. Brown —
have all been inconsistent.
Patriots’ left tackle
When Nate Solder left in free
agency (signing a big-money
deal with the Giants), it opened
up a major vacancy on Tom
Brady’s blindside, though it
was a hole the Patriots moved
to fill this offseason by trading
for veteran Trent Brown from
the 49ers and using a first-
round pick on Georgia’s Isaiah
Wynn. Though Brown is
switching sides of the line, he
has impressed in training camp
and appears to have the inside

track to winning the starting
job. He’s massive (listed 6-8,
380 pounds) and still only 25,
so the Pats would be thrilled if
he winds up a long-term solu-
tion. That arrangement puts
less immediate pressure on
Wynn, who could start his pro-
fessional career as a backup
swing tackle and grow into a
starting role.

The Steelers have a major
hole to fill in their heart of their

played for four teams from 2013
to 2017, battle it out in camp.
While Matakevich, a backup
and special teams player in his
first two seasons, appeared to
get the first shot with Vince
Williams and the rest of the
starters, Bostic will have a
chance to get his career back on
track.
Rams’ outside linebacker
The defense is stacked on
the front and in the secondary,
but outside linebacker remains
a weakness after the Rams
traded Robert Quinn to the Dol-
phins and let Connor Barwin
walk in free agency. Last year’s
fourth-round pick Samson
Ebukam appears set to start on
one side of the defense, but the
weakside is wide open. Matt
Longacre picked up 51⁄2 sacks
last season as a backup and
might be the team’s best bet,
though he is battling a biceps
injury. That might be enough to
open the door for rookies John
Franklin-Myers, Trevon Young
and Justin Lawler.

QB Bridgewater’s amazing comeback continues

Andy Vasquez
North Jersey Record-USA TODAY Network
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — When Jets
quarterback Teddy Bridgewater runs
onto the field for Friday’s preseason
opener against the Falcons, it will mark
a significant step in his long and re-
markable comeback.
Bridgewater plans to treat it as such.
“I am very excited,” Bridgewater said.
“I get excited every day I get to get my
ankles taped, lace my cleats up and run
out of the locker room and practice be-
cause it was taken away from me for two
years. To be able to just wake up and
know you have the opportunity to con-
tinue to do something that you love do-
ing, it’s a great feeling.”
Two years ago this month, Bridgewa-
ter’s career, and life, changed in an in-
stant. One moment, he was the Vikings’
23-year-old starting quarterback. Then
he took a wrong step in a non-contact
practice drill, injuring his left knee so
badly that doctors were briefly worried
his leg might have to be amputated.
But Bridgewater never doubted that
he would get back on a football field, and
he’s been fighting for it ever since. The
first steps came in 2017 when he played
briefly at the end of one regular-season
game.
But Friday will be his first extended
action since suffering the injury. And
the 25-year-old says he’s ready.
“I definitely feel like I am good,”
Bridgewater said. “I have been working
with the training staff here and we have
been hitting it hard, and I am excited. … I
am looking forward to these upcoming
preseason games and just getting out
there and having fun playing football
again.”
Bridgewater, who signed with the
Jets in March, has impressed in offsea-
son workouts and the first week of
training camp. He’s locked in a three-
way quarterback competition with Josh
McCown and Sam Darnold. And Bridge-
water’s surgically repaired knee, over
which he wears a brace and a sleeve, has
not been a hindrance.
He has impressed his coach and
teammates with his work ethic, attitude
and play.
Friday could be just the latest step in
Bridgewater’s road back to being a start-
ing quarterback. But there’s also a good
chance that if that happens, it won’t be
with the Jets.
If Darnold proves that he’s ready to
be the starter right now, Bridgewater
would become a logical trade candidate.
McCown isn’t getting traded on a one-
year, $12 million deal at age 39. Mean-
while, Bridgewater who is on a one-year,

our fans,” Giants President Larry Baer
told USA TODAY. “His dad was a great
Giant. His godfather (Mays) was per-
haps the greatest of them all. Barry was
part of royalty.
“Sure, there were a lot of tough times
with him, challenging and contentious
times. But if something happens with
somebody in your family, you don’t dis-
own him. ... You love him unconditional-
ly, and what Saturday will do is remind
people of his accomplishments.
“Barry, in the tradition of his father
and godfather, made San Francisco a
baseball town again. He not only pre-
served baseball in San Francisco but
resurrected baseball in San Francisco.”
The fans’ unadulterated love for
Bonds was exposed again the day they
announced Aug. 11 would be Bonds’ jer-
sey retirement night. Tickets were sold
out in 20 minutes. It’s the hottest ticket
of any game this regular season, Stub
Hub officials said, with ticket prices
soaring close to $800.
This frenzied sellout crowd is primed
to recognize and celebrate one of the
greatest players in baseball history.
Among those expected to attend are for-
mer teammates Bobby Bonilla and Rich
Aurilia; former managers Jim Leyland,
Dusty Baker and Bruce Bochy; and all
five living Giants Hall of Famers —
Mays, Willie McCovey, Orlando Cepeda,
Juan Marichal and Gaylord Perry.
The Hall of Fame has yet to welcome
Bonds, but the Giants refuse to wait any
longer. He will become their 11th player
to have his jersey, No. 25, retired.
And the only one not enshrined in
Cooperstown.
“There’s no code that you must be in
the Hall of Fame to have your jersey re-
tired, this was a no-brainer for us,” Baer
said. “I’m not going to lecture anybody
whether he should be or shouldn’t be in
the Hall of Fame, but when you really
step back, and look at it unemotionally,
how can he not be with his home run
record, his seven MVPs and everything
he’s done in the game?
“Hopefully, one day that changes.”

members of the Baseball Writers’ Asso-

they believe he used performance-en-

The writers couldn’t punish him as a

anything without a failed drug test or

should the greatest player in the steroid
era be kept out?
Maybe if Bonds had that cuddly and
friendly personality, it might be differ-
ent. Maybe if he had never broken the
beloved Aaron’s record, voters would be
forgiving. Maybe if he lied, saying he
tried PEDs simply to overcome nagging
injuries, folks would look the other way.
Instead, Bonds insisted he never
knowingly used PEDs in the BALCO
case, the U.S. government took him to
court on five counts of perjury and ob-
struction of justice, and Bonds won,
cleared of all charges.
“You won, but did you really win?”
Baker says. “I mean, when you fight the
system, you don’t get rewarded general-
ly.”
It doesn’t matter now. Bonds stopped
playing baseball 11 years ago when no
team would touch him. The government

fight has ended. But his battle with the
baseball writers lives on, with four years
of eligibility remaining on the ballot. He
finished with 56.4 percent of the vote
last year, far short of the 75% required.
Bonds, 54, now a special assistant
with the Giants, has no interest in ad-
dressing those issues. There are no
news conferences scheduled Saturday.
No meet-and-greet with reporters. Sim-
ply, a private reception Saturday after-
noon, an 8 p.m. ET ceremony, and then
the ballgame against the Pirates, the
team that drafted, signed and devel-
oped the greatest player of his era.
“I wouldn’t miss this for the world,”
says Leyland, Bonds’ manager in Pitts-
burgh. “It’s a great tribute to one of the
greatest players to ever play the game. ...
He’s certainly the greatest left fielder I
ever saw.”
Perhaps no one since Babe Ruth
changed the complexion of the game,
with opposing managers and pitchers
focusing their approach and strategy
depending on when Bonds was due up.
“There wasn’t any player like him,”
Bochy said. “You had to manage around
him. You would be constantly looking at
your lineup card to see when he was
coming up.”
It was 25 years ago when Baer made
his first phone call to Bonds after he be-
came a free agent, telling Bonds they’d
like to bring him home, and to this day,
Baer can recite his response like his own
child’s first words.
“He got emotional, extremely emo-
tional,” Baer said. “Barry said, ‘You don’t
know what it would mean to wear my
father’s same uniform, my godfather’s
uniform, and play for the San Francisco
Giants.’
“Having Barry led all of the momen-
tum into our new ballpark, the 530 con-
secutive sellouts, the three World Se-
ries, really everything we accomplished.
“We certainly don’t have this success
without him.”
The folks in San Francisco might not
share the same court of public opinion
on Bonds as everyone outside the 415
area code, but it’s a love affair that never
waned. This will be the night when the
outpouring of gratitude and affection
might resonate forever, knowing that
blemishes and all, Bonds always will be-
long to them.

‘Rainbow’
Film starkly reveals her
tough Grammy moments
Maeve McDermott
USA TODAY
Kesha spends much of her new Ap-
ple Music documentary “Rainbow”
(out Friday) in a dream world, moving
through trippy vignettes that alter-
nately show her trapped in a glass box
on a scenic beach, pulling a keyboard
from a glowing swamp and straddling
her own comatose likeness as a shirt-
less man in a bunny mask injects her
body double with pink sludge.
Kesha Apple Music documentary
“Rainbow” covers a lot in just 30
minutes. GETTY IMAGES FOR IHEARTMEDIA
As visually striking as the more psy-
chedelic scenes of “Rainbow” may be,
it’s the other footage included in the
half-hour documentary, including be-
hind-the-scenes moments from Kesh-
a’s 2015 tour and her “Rainbow” studio
sessions, that contain the real revela-
tions. And 20 minutes in, “Rainbow”
reaches its emotional climax as it fol-
lows the days before Kesha’s 2018
Grammys performance, a devastating
sequence that elevates the documen-
tary to must-see viewing for her fans.
“Rainbow” shares its name with
Kesha’s 2017 album – her return to
music, which she began writing while
in treatment for a severe eating disor-
der and continued recording during
her lengthy legal battle with her former
producer, Dr. Luke, whom she accused
of sexual and emotional abuse. The
uncomfortable backstory is that dur-
ing the trial, Kesha’s contract restrict-
ed her from releasing her new music
unless she worked with her alleged
abuser, which resulted in years of si-
lence from the singer.

The prestige cable network has typically reserved its most accessible, awards-friendly

Looking for a retro, aviation-
themed spot for your next big event?
New York’s TWA Hotel is accepting
bookings for its 50,000 square feet of
event space and outdoor terraces
ahead of its spring 2019 opening.
Options will include the “Star-
stream” and “Flight Center” ballrooms
as well as a promised “one-of-a-kind
event space” to be unveiled this fall.
Officials say the event spaces can
accommodate anything from confer-
ences to wedding and bar mitzvahs.
Anchored around the landmark
TWA Flight Center that opened in 1962,
the 512-room facility will be the only
hotel on the grounds of New York’s
John F. Kennedy International Airport.
The airport property features two
new six-story towers that flank the old
TWA terminal’s “head house,” an ar-
chitectural masterpiece designed by
Eero Saarinen. The terminal is being
converted into a 200,000-square-foot
lobby the hotel claims will be the
world’s largest.
The TWA Hotel will include six res-
taurants and eight bars. One cocktail
bar will be housed in a refurbished
Lockheed “Constellation” aircraft that
was a staple of the TWA fleet in the late
1950s and early 1960s. A rooftop pool
will afford views of the airfield.

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. – Sol Lipman is

worked for such companies as AOL

for years.
But when it came time to launch a
new startup (YaDoggie, a subscription

With its rugged coast, nearby

best spots for surfing in California,
Santa Cruz (population 65,000) is a
“unique gem” and “incomparable to
any other place in the Bay Area,”
Lipman says.
Unlike their monied neighbors in
the Valley, Santa Cruz citizens seem to
value lifestyle over status. “There’s
something about wandering through
the redwoods and feeling the ocean

‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ is ‘alive again’ at NBC
Gary Levin
USA TODAY
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. –
How did the cast react when
NBC rescued cult comedy
“Brooklyn Nine-Nine” after Fox
canceled it after five seasons?
“It felt like you’re alive
again,” Terry Crews told the
Television Critics Association
press tour Wednesday.
“I felt pretty confident we’d
land somewhere, maybe blind-
ly so,” star Andy Samberg said.
NBC, which produced the
series for Fox, plans a short-
ened, 13-episode run due early
next year and maybe more be-
yond that.
The news about the low-rat-
ed show was one of the biggest
TV events in May.
“I don’t know if it was a slow
news day or what, but the story
of the show getting canceled
and then rescued struck a
nerve,” Samberg said. “It’s a
show we’ve loved making and
are so proud of,” so he was glad
it put the show back in the
“zeitgeist” (though he hates us-
ing that word).
It was a liberating time for

Sex talk speaks volumes
in Poehler’s ‘I Feel Bad’
Bill Keveney
USA TODAY
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. – In
the pilot of the new NBC com-
edy “I Feel Bad,” 40ish mom
and gaming-company boss
Emet (Sarayu Blue) worries
that she’s becoming her mother
and asks younger male under-
lings if she’s still sexually at-
tractive, or “doable.”
Is that scene appropriate at a
time of increasingly scruti-
nized workplace behavior? Ex-
ecutive producers Amy Poehler
and Aseem Batra explained
why they think it works.
“In the context of the show,
(Emet) cares very little about
their opinion,” Poehler told the
Television Critics Association
press tour Wednesday. “They
are these millennials who are
experts in their own minds,
and she’s attempting to com-
municate with them in a way
that’s really self-serving for
her. That scene is completely in
character.”
The scene also illustrates a
generational divide.
“It shows the platonic rela-
tionship between a woman in
her 40s and men in their 20s.
It’s a really undiscovered area
to have those two worlds col-
lide without the woman being
maternal or the men being
predatory. That’s really excit-
ing,” Poehler said.
Batra, a veteran comedy
writer, said the scene reflects
her own experiences in TV
writers rooms, where the con-
versation often is much more
crude.
“I’ve been the only woman in
writers rooms all the time, and
that’s how people talk. If I tell

“For me and for a lot of peo-
ple out there, I call it the sum-

all about freedom and telling

felt secure enough that I could
tell my truth and still go to
work, along with all of the
women who came forward.”
What’s next for “Brooklyn”?
Fox’s finale saw the wedding of
Samberg’s detective Jake Per-
alta and Melissa Fumero’s Amy

“They’ll maintain that same
dynamic, but it will be fun to
explore it through the lens of
marriage,” Samberg said, jok-
ing, “Mostly small, detail-
oriented story lines about their
finances.”
“Gosh, that day they com-

going to be a big day,” Fumero
added.

In a way, you get sucked up into

Batra also talked about the
harsh reality of the workplace.
“I don’t like always having to
talk about that stuff, and I think
things are changing, which is
great. But I’ve had to cut up
with the guys like that, and it
doesn’t feel good. But I promise

I said, ‘Stop it. This is wrong. I
don’t like this.’ They would kick
me out,” she said. “If it was un-

that, because I like people to
talk about that.”
Blue said Emet, who is mar-
ried to David (Paul Adelstein),
has a real reason for talking to
her younger colleagues that
way. (The scene recalls a fam-
ous sketch from “Inside Amy
Schumer” that focused on an
imagined expiration date of
female sexual appeal and fea-
tured Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Pa-

“She’s coming from a place

New Numbing Drug Relieves
Crippling Arthritis Pain
Without Pills or Needles
New cream relieves arthritis in minutes after applying;
uses the strongest approved dose of an anesthetic drug
which numbs the nerves that cause crippling joint pain
for a new blockbuster arthritis
drug. But unlike so many of the
others, it comes in the form of
cream, not a pill.
Initial users, including several
clinical trial participants, say the
relief is extraordinary and when
you look at the science you’ll see
why.
The new pain relief cream
numbs the nerves right below the
skin.
When applied to an arthritic
joint, or a painful area on the
body, it delivers rapid relief that
lasts for hours and hours.
Blocks Pain
from the Brain
The powerful painkilling effect
is created by the cream’s active
ingredient, a powerful anesthetic
drug.
Anesthetics are highly regarded
by physicians in the medical
community. They block nerve
signals from the brain so that
patients don’t feel pain and are
incredibly effective.
“Those suffering with
arthritis or joint pain can
expect relief within minutes of
their first application,” explains
Dr. Henry Esber, creator of the
hot selling drug Apeaz.
“There will be a pleasant
warming sensation that is
followed by a cool, soothing one.
This is how you know that the
drug has reached the affected joint
and tissue.”
Works In Minutes
For arthritis suffers, Apeaz
offers impressive advantages over
traditional medications. The most
remarkable is how quickly it relieves
difficult pain.
The cream contains the
maximum approved OTC dose
of an amazing anesthetic, which
rapidly penetrates the skin to
numb the area that’s in pain. This
relief lasts for several hours.
Published pre-clinical animal
studies have shown that the other
ingredients in Apeaz can also
prevent further bone and cartilage
destruction.
No Risk of Ulcers
or Stomach Pain
There are also no negative
side effects as seen with oral
medications. Apeaz delivers its
ingredients through the skin.
Oral medications are absorbed
in the digestive tract. Over time,
the chemicals in pills can tear the
delicate lining of the stomach,
causing ulcers and bleeding.
A Low Cost Alternative
That Works
There are also tremendous
savings when switching over
to a topical like Apeaz. When
compared to other arthritis
medications, Apeaz is a fraction
of the cost. At less than $2 a day,
the cream quickly is becoming a
household name.
Rapid Relief Without Pills
or Needle Injections
Many Apeaz users report
significant improvements in daily
aches and pain. Many more report
increased flexibility, less stiffness,
and decreased muscle soreness.
They are moving with less pain for
the first time in years.
APEAZ IS AN FDA OTC COMPLIANT DRUG NDC # 57483-001-04 APPROVED FOR THE RELIEF OF PAIN FROM MUSCLES AND JOINTS INCLUDING

NEW PAIN RELIEF DRUG WORKS ON CONTACT:
Apeaz delivers its active ingredient, a powerful
painkiller, through the skin, providing users
with rapid relief without oral drug side effects
“I’ve tried more pills than I can
count. I’ve also had a handful
of cortisone shots. Nothing is as
effective as this product. With
Apeaz, I get relief right away. I
rub a little on my hands. It keeps
the pain away. It also prevents the
pain from getting really bad. It’s
completely changed my life,” raves
one user.
Apeaz™ is an FDA
drug with approved
claims for the
pain relief of the
following conditions:
• Temporary pain
• Simple back pain
• Strains
• Sprains
• Athletic injuries
• Muscle stiffness
and pain
• Wrist, elbow,
shoulder, hip, knee,
ankle, foot, muscle
or joint pain
A New Breakthrough
for Arthritis
When applied to the skin
Apeaz is absorbed in just minutes.
It then penetrates through muscle
and tissues, getting to the source
of you pain, numbing the nerve
endings.
“This is why Apeaz is so
effective for people with arthritis
pain. It reduces pain while
adding an additional potential
layer of joint support,” explains
Esber.
A Better Way
to Treat Pain
A pre-clinical trial on Apeaz
was carried out by Dr. Esber and
his research staff shortly after its
initial production.
The results were published in
in the Journal of Immunology.
The study found that Apeaz
induced an instant numbing effect,
which blocked pain for several
hours.
It was also shown to decrease
swelling and inflammation.

paired with tonally similar NBC
sitcoms, such as “Superstore”
or “AP Bio.”
“The mandate from NBC is,
‘We know this show, we love
this show, please keep making
the same show,’ ” Goor said.
“It’s the same show; it’s going
to be even better.”
Except maybe, Chelsea Pe-
retti joked, there’ll be “pea-
cocks in the theme song.”
Even more remarkable, Apeaz
was also shown to prevent the
further destruction of cartilage, a
major cause of arthritis.
“One of the most impressive
things about the study was the
various ways Apeaz was able to
influence levels of pain. Many
painkillers, and even creams,
simply mask your pain. Apeaz
is different. Since it is absorbed
through the skin it deliver rapid
relief and is able to deliver its
ingredients directly to infected
arthritic tissue” explains Esber.
A New Weapon
for Arthritis
and Joint Pain
With daily use, Apeaz helps
users live a more vital, pain free
relief without any of the negative
side effects or interactions
associated with oral drugs.
Through the use of a powerful
anesthetic drug, Apeaz is able
to numb pain at the source,
specifically around joints plagued
by arthritis.
Readers can now enjoy an
entirely new level of comfort that’s
both safe and affordable. It is also
extremely effective, especially if
nothing else has worked.

Kesha do a good job, and I want to (expletive)

Continued from Page 1D
Eventually freed from those restric-
tions, Kesha re-emerged last year with
“Rainbow,” led by her aching comeback
single “Praying,” and earned her first
pair of Grammy nominations for the
new album – bringing her journey full
circle with her performance of “Praying”
at the awards.
During an otherwise forgettable
ceremony, Kesha’s Grammys moment
was easily the night’s most powerful, a
roughly sung revelation that left the art-
ist in tears by the end.
Those weren’t the only tears shed
during Kesha’s Grammys journey, the
documentary reveals. It features foot-
age of the difficult rehearsals in the days
leading up to her performance.
“When the Grammys called and said
that not only was my album nominated
but they wanted me to perform, it was a
dream come true,” she says in a voice-
over. “But it also triggered my intense
anxiety. This song (‘Praying’) was in-
credibly hard to sing on such a grand
For her Grammys performance, Kesha was joined by a number of performers,
including Bebe Rexha and Cyndi Lauper, to her left, and Camila Cabello. FILMMAGIC
stage, both emotionally and technically.”
Pacing through a hotel room during a
rehearsal three days before the awards,
Kesha gets visibly frustrated, venting to
vocal coach Nick Cooper about the pres-
sures of singing in front of stars such as
Beyonce in the Grammys crowd. As she
struggles to sing one line in “Praying,” “I
found a strength I’ve never known.”
“I sing it really good sometimes, and
sometimes I don’t, and sometimes my
voice cracks,” she frets. “And this line
about ‘strength’ – I’ll be up there, with all
the people, and Beyonce, and I want to
kill it.”
Two days before the performance,
she’s in an even more fragile state, re-
hearsing in a larger performance space
with a string section and backing vocal-
ists. The tears begin flowing before she
sings a note as she steps away from the
microphone to sob and Cooper steps in
with some encouraging words.
“You do not have to sing this heavy
(song) to prove anything,” he says as the
singers surround Kesha in a huddle.
“You need to tell the doggone story and
stop trying to prove (something). You
were courageous enough to write a song
about your experiences, to share them
with the rest of the world. So deal with
the pain, but share your love on stage.”
Days later, viewers would see Kesha’s
struggle between love and pain playing
out on the Grammys stage. And watch-
ing her difficult journey in the days be-
fore – wearing T-shirts and no makeup,
with no interest of getting glammed up
for the rolling cameras – makes her
groundbreaking performance all the
more real and serves as a reminder how
lucky listeners are to have a pop star
such as Kesha with us.
