HERBERT H. RENZ Herbert H. Renz passed into his final rest on Saturday May 7th 2016 at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Comox, British Columbia, Canada. Awaiting him on the far banks of Jordan are his Mother and Father Friedrich Renz and Hulda Renz (nee Graf), also his brothers Oskar and Alfred, and a loving extended family of whom he shared many fond stories. He is survived by his wife of 64 years Alma, and children Nelson (Georgeann) Edmonton, Alberta, Ron (Roberta) Lawrence, Kansas, and Deborah (George) Union Bay, British Columbia; also 2 grandsons Ryan and Robert, Edmonton, Alberta.

Herbert was born on October 18, 1924 in a small German village, Güldendorf, near Odessa on the Black Sea in what is now the Ukraine. He served in the military and was badly injured in World War II. He immigrated to Canada in 1949 with his Mother (having lost most of his family in the war). He worked hard at several professions, working the longest (over 30 years) with MacLeods/Gambles in Winnipeg, Manitoba, as a valued member of their management team. He met the love of his life, Alma, while visiting relatives in Calgary, Alberta. They married on October 12, 1951 and settled in Winnipeg. As their family grew up and moved along into their own homes and lives, Herbert and Alma moved with their youngest, Deborah, to the west coast of Canada, settling first in North Delta, and then later in Surrey, British Columbia. In 2007 they moved to the beautiful Comox Valley, British Columbia to be near Deborah and her husband.

Despite many physical

Capitol

challenges in recent years, Herbert’s greatest joy was visiting his children, sharing stories, helping them with home improvements and projects, and participating in family gatherings large and small. Everyone who knew Herbert will remember him as a principled man with great strength of will and stamina, a good provider, a contributor to his community, a dedicated professional, loyal to his friends, and as a proud and loving Father and Husband, who instilled a strong work ethic and values into his children and grandchildren.

His love for his wife and family was unconditional.

To his children and grandchildren he will always be our Dad or Grandpa, our advisor… ally… protector… champion… our best friend.

A memorial service for Herbert Renz will be held at 1pm on Friday the 13th of May 2016 at Piercy’s Funeral Home (440 England Ave. Courtenay, BC). Herbert loved history, and he and Alma enjoyed many evenings together at the theatre. So in lieu of flowers, the family asks that a contribution be made to the Comox Valley Community Foundation (www.cvcfoundation.org) to either the Sid Williams Theatre Fund or the Courtenay and District Museum Fund.

DONALD EUGENE SHEPARD

On May 9, 2016, Donald Eugene Shepard, Age 80, entered the welcoming arms of Our Lord and Savior after a courageous battle with melanoma cancer on the same day he was born, May 9, 1936.

Donald was born in Lawrence, KS and is the son of Eugene Rollie and Ethelyn Emma (Frey) Shepard. Don served his Country in the United States Marine Corp as Sergeant for three years.

When Don returned from the Corp, in 1959 he began his career with District 60, which eventually became School the Unified District 497, Lawrence, KS. Don started his career with the school district as a Custodian at West Junior High School. Don’s work ethic, intelligence and his service leadership spirit positioned and prepared him to make history as the First Black Supervisor in the State of Kansas, as the Transportation Supervisor, of the Lawrence School District ­ #497, and as a member of Kansas State Pupil Transportation Association. Don retired from the school district in 1974 and started his second career with Farmland Industries, where he worked for 25 years and retired in 1999.

Don continued to drive activity buses for the Lawrence School District in excess of 40 years on a part­time basis. Don was a lifelong resident of Lawrence, KS and was highly committed to serving his community.

His mantra was ­ Kindness a quote by William Penn (1644­1718), “I expect to pass through life but once. If, therefore, there may be any kindness I can show, or any good things I may do to any fellow being, let me do it now and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.”

academic affairs.

Human capital may be more important than buildings, Guthrie said, but having a vibrant place to study or work factors in to people’s decisions — and they have options.

“The people make the place, right? But the place, it’s not unimportant,” Guthrie said.

“When you have a place that is not aligned or does not meet your aspirations, it’s not helpful. And I think we were there.”

Capitol Federal Hall isn’t “opulent” — it has industrial finishes, with lots of concrete and rust-colored steel exposed — but it is light, bright, open and outfitted with the latest technology, Guthrie said.

The building is not yet open, and he’s already having trouble keeping faculty and students out.

“It’s nice to have an energetic place just buzzing with activity and students, and that building will be that way,” he said.

than usually shows up for the annual meeting. Seven tables of six to eight people, about 50 people total, talked about personalized learning, equity, professional development and bond construction, among other things.

Their ideas could influence what the Lawrence School Board sets as its annual goals for 2016-17.

“We have a lot of things that have gone really well,” incoming Superintendent Kyle Hayden told the group.

“That being said, we have our fair share of challenges.

That’s what a little bit of the conversation is today: recognizing our strengths but talking about the challenges we have. That’s going to help me and help the board think about the future.”

One of the issues the group was asked to discuss Wednesday was students’ access to technology at home.

Jerri Kemble, assistant superintendent for educational programs and technology, noted the recent achievement of getting iPads for all middle school students.

The district now needs to work on helping students get internet access outside of school.

She said the district was putting together resources for parents to get internet cheaply.

Rick Henry, director of adult education, cited another problem: getting students to enroll in a district program that allows them to work toward their GEDs while earning college credit in a “high-need” technical field, such as HVAC, welding or construction.

“The challenge we’re having right now is getting the word out,” Henry said.

“We’re not getting as much of a response as we want.”

In small focus groups, participants talked for a few minutes each about 10 different issues. One person commented there was a “lack of support” for a recent discipline model, Ci3T. On the topic of communication, one table talked about a disconnect between administrators and other staff. Another table said there were “missed opportunities” to engage parents.

Hayden walked among the groups, which were seated in the school board chambers, listening in to some of the conversations.

The new superintendent will take the input, as well as feedback from an earlier survey, sort it and present it to the school board. He’s also in the process of visiting a leadership team at each of the 21 district locations in Lawrence to gain more ideas. As of Wednesday, he had met with 15.

The attendance was more than triple what it was in 2014, when 13 people met, she added.

“This is the biggest group we’ve had by far,” Hayden said of Wednesday. “We have a lot more feedback.”

Topeka — People in Kansas will now be able to buy more kinds of distinctive license plates, including one that would raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association.

Hearing scheduled for man accused of kidnapping student

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Cconrad_Swanson

A man accused of kidnapping a Lawrence college student and beating her over the course of nearly a week is scheduled to appear in court next month.

Shane Steven Allen, 30,

Allen

was arrested on April 22. He faces one felony charge of kidnapping and four felony charges of battery.

According to an arrest affidavit filed in Douglas County District Court, Allen allegedly confined a 20-year-old woman to his home and beat her repeatedly in fits of jeal-

ousy over a six-day period.

The two met on the social media dating application Tinder and had spent time together once before, according to the affidavit.

The woman suffered numerous injuries, including cuts and bruises all over her body, the affidavit says.

Allen appeared Wednesday afternoon in Douglas County District Court, where Judge Sally Pokorny scheduled his preliminary hearing for June 24 at 9:30 a.m. At the preliminary hearing, the court decides whether there is enough evidence to order a defendant to stand trial.

Allen is currently being held in the Douglas County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bond.

If convicted of all five felony charges, Allen could face nearly 32 years in prison.

City to replace aging water tanks, pump station near KU campus

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

A pair of severely corroding water tanks near Kansas University’s campus — dubbed “Ike” and “Hoover” because of their age — will soon be replaced.

The city has submitted site plans for, and is currently designing, two new water tanks and a pump station at 1220 Oread Ave., where the old tanks now

sit. The replacement, projected to cost $5 million, will go to bid this fall.

City officials started talking years ago about the need to replace the tanks, one of which was built in 1931 — in President Herbert Hoover’s administration — and the other in 1954 — when Dwight D. Eisenhower was president.

The tanks serve the central part of Lawrence and currently hold 2.3 million gallons of wa-

“

The Oread tanks exhibit severe corrosion, failed interior and exterior coatings, failed structural members and inadequate vents, manways and roof access.”

“The Oread tanks ex-

a new place for the pair of tanks, Ciesielski said, but chose to build them in the same area after evaluating 12 different sites.

“The evaluation concluded that, based on project costs, existing water transmission and distribution piping, and operational needs, the current location along Oread Avenue is the best location,” he said.

Police seek suspects in alleged battery Police are on the lookout for three men suspected of entering a home without permission early Saturday and beating three residents.

On Saturday morning police arrived at a house in the 1300 block of Ohio Street for a report of an aggravated battery, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads. There had been a party there earlier.

Around 3 a.m. there was a disturbance at the party, caused when a resident of the home asked a visitor to leave, Rhoads said.

Later that morning three men entered the home without permission and attacked three of the residents, Rhoads said. The residents suffered serious but nonlifethreatening injuries.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Lawrence Police Department at 832-7509 or Crime Stoppers at 843-8477.

I’m going to fix the system.’ And in the modern era, it’s been the businessman that takes on that,” Brownback said.

can Renewal Project, but other faith groups have urged their followers to reject Trump for what they called his “vulgar racial and religious demagoguery.”

In the primaries, however, surveys have shown Trump winning over evangelical voters. Steve Mitchell, CEO of a Michigan-based polling and consulting Peter Hancock firm, wrote about that phancock@ljworld.com phenomenon recently in RealClear Politics, saying U.S. House Speaker Paul that for many, Trump is Ryan.

for many, many Americans, and generally after you have a recession followed by, here, very little recovery out of it, you get a populist response,” he said.

Polls currently show Clinton leading Trump nationally by seven to 11 percentage points, and the online prediction market Pivit Politics currently gives Clinton a 70 percent chance of becoming the next president. Still, another big concern for Republicans is the effect Trump could have further down the ballot, in congressional and state races.

Voter turnout is typically higher in presidential years than in offyear elections because national races draw more interest and enthusiasm than state legislative contests. So if big parts of the Republican base are not enthusiastic about their party’s presidential nominee, the fear is that many will stay home, which could drag down

other Republicans, especially those in vulnerable districts.

Brownback, however, said he sees the same thing happening on the Democratic side, and the election could come down to a contest over which candidate is the least unacceptable.

In fact, a recent McClatchy-Marist national poll found that onequarter of the voters who support Clinton’s Democratic rival, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, said they would not support Clinton if she becomes the nominee.

“I think that there’s danger that a lot of the electorate could sit this one out, on both sides of the aisle,” he said. “I mean, what’s the enthusiasm for Hillary Clinton?

But that’s what you’re staring at now as the probability.”

Topeka — Kansas has delayed cutting off Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood a second time and postponed its action against the abortion provider until June 7.

Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri spokeswoman Bonyen Lee-Gilmore said Wednesday that the state sought another extension to prepare for the first hearing in a federal lawsuit challenging the cutoff and that the delays are a sign of how the state’s decision is “all political.”

allow the county to ask voters to approve a quartercent sales tax to support economic development and natural and cultural heritage preservation. Although he understood the bill had little chance to advance in the just-completed session dogged by financial issues, Flory said he hoped it one day would be enacted so voters could decide whether they would prefer to pay for the program through a sales tax rather than through a property tax levy.

Flory singled out for praise the most expensive of the eight projects the Douglas County Natural and Cultural Heritage Task Force recommended, an $89,000 grant that will allow the Eudora Area Historical Society to build an addition to the rear of the building, which will contain a staircase and

platform lift. The project will allow the museum to use the second floor for exhibit space.

“They have done so much there,” he said. “My preference has always been to reward those who have accomplished a lot of work on their own.”

Also approved was a $67,775 grant to the Douglas County Sustainability Office to fund a nine-month planning process to aid the Delaware Tribe in developing 92 acres of property it owns in North Lawrence.

Delaware Tribe Chief Chet Brooks said Tuesday from the tribe’s Bartlesville, Okla., headquarters that the grant would provide funding for professional planning needed for a land-use proposal the tribe developed in cooperation with the sustainability office, Kansas University, Kansas State University, Haskell Indian Nations University and neighbors. The plan develops the property as an agricultural station that would produce high-value crops and heritage seeds.

health emergency at play,” she said.

Eileen Hawley, spokeswoman for Republican Gov. Sam Brownback, said the delays give both sides adequate time to prepare their arguments and the judge time to review them. The latest postponement occurred Tuesday.

The state initially planned to cut off Medicaid funds on Tuesday, but delayed the action until May 24. With the additional de-

lay, a hearing on Planned Parenthood’s request for a court order blocking being cut off is scheduled for May 25.

The state health department has cited in its decision to cut Medicaid funding a dispute over a December inspection of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Overland Park that was later resolved, and also has pointed to allegations lodged against affiliates in Oklahoma and Texas.

Medicaid provides health coverage for the poor, elderly and disabled.

Federal courts have blocked attempts to cut off Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood in other states, including Arkansas, Arizona, Indiana, Louisiana and Utah. But Brownback, a strong abortion opponent, said last week: “I think we’re on solid grounds.”

Kansas also has blocked Planned Parenthood from receiving federal family planning dollars for non-abortion services since 2014 through provisions in its annual budgets. Brownback signed a bill Tuesday to make the policy a permanent state law.

as well as several other military distinctions.

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, an estimated 51,000 Kansans are diagnosed with the disease, 90 percent of whom are over age 60.

Alzheimer’s is a progressive disease that results in memory loss and interferes with thinking and behavior.

The license plate bill was just one of three bills Brownback signed during a ceremony in his Statehouse office, but later in the day he announced the signing of 10 more, including one that permanently cuts off Planned Parenthood from receiving any of the state’s allocation of federal family planning funds, and directs the money instead toward full-service public health clinics.

The bill puts into statute a policy that lawmakers have inserted as a proviso into every bud-

get bill since 2011. It has been cited as the primary cause for the closure of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Hays and an unaffiliated family planning clinic in Dodge City.

Also Wednesday, Brownback signed a bill that classifies audio and video recordings from police body and dashboard cameras as investigation documents that can be withheld from public release under the Kansas Open Records Act. That same bill also declares that emails concerning public business that are sent or received from a public officials personal, private email account are public documents subject to the open records act. That provision was a response to controversy that erupted late last year when it was reported that Brownback’s budget director Shawn Sullivan had used his personal email ac-

count to discuss details of Brownback’s budget proposal with lobbyists before he had submitted it to the Legislature.

Other bills Brownback signed Wednesday include: l House Bill 2151, requiring law enforcement agencies to adopt stricter policies regarding citizen identification of suspects during criminal investigations.

“Misidentification is the leading contributing factor to wrongful convictions, so this is a huge step in preventing wrongful convictions by using evidence-based practices,” said Michele Feldman, a state policy advocate with the Innocence Project, which supported the bill.

The bill also allows the Department of Corrections to place a juvenile offender under home supervision rather than in a correctional facil-

The property would also serve as a job training site and a base for nutritional outreach.

The other grants awarded were: $30,000 for Flint Hills Investments for a study into improvements to the Turnhalle building, 900 Rhode Island St.; $26,728 for a new heating and airconditioning system and installation of ultraviolet window treatments at the Territorial Capital Museum in Lecompton; $13,230 for planned Friends of the Kaw activities to clean up, restore and promote fishing on the Kansas River; $8,000 for Douglas County Conservation District’s planned Douglas County Water Festival; $5,000 for a civil rights interactive exhibit kiosk at the Watkins Museum of History; and $4,000 for the Clinton Lake Historical Society for completion of a site master plan.

The project is likely to be complete in August 2018. Over the nearly two years of work, the city will close the 1200 block of Louisiana Street in phases to install new water mains and a storm sewer.

A sidewalk and retaining wall are also part of the project; they’ll be built along the east side of the site, closest to Louisiana Street.

While the new tanks on Oread Avenue are under construction, the city will work on infrastructure supporting another water tower, off Kasold Drive.

Detective shooting suspect recovering Kansas City, Kan. (ap) — A Kansas man charged with capital murder in the shooting death of a police detective remains hospitalized while authorities in Kansas and Missouri discuss which jurisdiction will be the first to prosecute him.

Wyandotte County District Attorney Jerome Gorman said Wednesday his office hopes its charges against 28-yearold Curtis Ayers, of Tonganoxie, will take precedence over charges filed against Ayers in Jackson County, Mo. Authorities allege Ayers fatally shot Kansas City, Kan., Detective Brad Lancaster on Monday and carjacked three cars before being shot

and arrested by officers in Kansas City, Mo. Ayers is hospitalized in Missouri. Gorman said Ayers was not in critical condition but he didn’t know his exact condition Wednesday evening.

Gorman also said he has not yet decided whether to seek the death penalty against Ayers.

A spokesman for the Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission said Ayers was ordered to leave the Hollywood Casino parking lot prior to the fatal shooting.

Commission spokesman Fred Waller said Ayers was loitering outside the casino near Kansas Speedway on Monday when a security agent ordered him to leave.

Waller said Ayers was told he would be arrested for trespassing if he returned.

Waller said Ayers’ name and birth date were reported to Kansas City police, which is normal procedure in such cases.

Kansas authorities have alleged Ayers fled in Lancaster’s car, then carjacked another vehicle with two children inside. He is accused of abandoning that vehicle, leaving the children unharmed, and taking another car. Authorities say he wrecked that car in Kansas City, Mo., and was shot by officers there.

Ayers was charged Tuesday in Jackson County with seven counts arising from that confrontation.

Veto

The budget bill passed the Senate, 22-18. It passed the House, 63-61.

Last week, KU Chancellor Bernadette GrayLittle and interim K-State President Gen. Richard Myers sent open letters to alumni from each school, urging them to contact Brownback’s office and ask him to line-item veto the proviso on university funding cuts.

Tim Caboni, KU’s vice chancellor of public affairs, confirmed that KU officials had met with Brownback and communicated their opposition to the proviso, but said Brownback gave no indication about whether he plans to veto the proviso.

“The proviso language penalizes the University of Kansas and K-State because of our research successes,” Caboni said.

“We remain strongly opposed to the proviso and hope the governor treats fairly the two state universities that produce the most graduates, the most jobs, the most startup companies and the most economic development that benefits all Kansans.”

Brownback also said Wednesday that he will have to make significant allotment cuts of at least $22 million to the budget before he signs the bill in order to comply with the Kansas Constitution’s requirement for a balanced budget.

That’s how much spending needs to be cut in order to leave the budget with a projected zero ending balance. Lawmakers, however, assumed Brownback would find roughly $92 million in cuts and efficiency savings in order to leave an ending balance of $69.8 million.

Those cuts would be in addition to the $115 million being taken out of the state highway fund to shore up the general fund and in addition to continuing to delay a $92.6 million payment into the state pension fund that was supposed to have been paid in April.

Ordering allotment cuts in a budget that hasn’t even been signed into law yet may be unprecedented in Kansas history, but Brownback said he believes he has the authority and that the Constitution requires it.

“Our assessment is that you need to do the allotments before the signing of the budget,” he said. “You have allotment authority that is separate from the budget. When the amount of the ending balance is below a certain level, there is allotment authority that’s granted.”

policy unequivocally stating KU’s support of those concepts, Williams and University Senate Executive Committee members said.

“The rights of freedom of speech are not explicitly spelled out in a precise document,” said outgoing committee member Ron Barrett-Gonzalez, professor of aerospace engineering and president of the KU chapter of American Association of University Professors. “It would be a good thing for us as a community to say, ‘Yeah, this is important to us.’”

The 12-member University Senate committee will have representatives from faculty, staff, students and administration, and the approved proposal states that each membership group should include at least one person from a traditionally underrepresented population at KU. A few examples of free speech-related issues this year at KU: l A KU assistant professor who used the N-word during a class discussion on race was accused of racial harassment and discrimination and put on leave while the university investigated.

The university ultimately determined she had not violated policy. l This spring some students protested campus sidewalk chalk writing in support of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. l In December, a student with an opposing opinion approached a professor and cursed in his face during an information session about campus concealed carry. l At KU’s November town hall forum on race, respect and free speech,

dozens of students shared stories about racially or sexually tinged comments they found offensive or hurtful. l In August, KU settled a lawsuit involving a student group concerned about the influence of Koch Industries on a School of Business lecturer’s teachings, a case in which both sides made arguments hinging on academic freedom. l KU and other state schools continue operating under a social media policy established by the Kansas Board of Regents after a KU associate professor of journalism was put on leave for an anti-NRA tweet in 2013.

“The idea of respect and honoring the words and thoughts of others on this campus is of critical importance,” Williams said. “We should, as a university, respect each other’s ability to say what they want to say.”

Last month, Williams floated the idea of creating a University Senate standing committee on diversity, because the provost-created Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Advisory Group was to be a one-year-only task force and he questioned its independence from university administration. Williams was a member of that group.

However, Williams said he is abandoning that idea.

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Advisory Group’s final report, released publicly April 29, includes a recommendation that it transform into an “ongoing body, independent from, but directly advising the chancellor and provost.”

The $17.7 million cut to the state’s six universities amounts to about 3 percent of their direct state aid. But instead of applying the cut uniformly to each institution, language inserted into the bill says the cuts must be uniform in proportion to each school’s all-funds budget.

That means KU and K-State, both of which have larger total budgets because they receive significant federal research funding, would take proportionately larger cuts, while smaller schools such as Pittsburg State and Emporia State universities would take smaller cuts.

KU’s funding cut would grow to $5.2 million, instead of $4 million if the cuts were spread evenly.

K-State’s cut would grow to $4.1 million instead of $3 million.

The language was inserted at the request of Sen. Jake LaTurner, RPittsburg, who said he wanted to protect Pittsburg State, which is in his district. Some Democrats, however, charged that Republican leaders granted his request solely to help him in what is expected to be a tough reelection campaign.

Speech CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

speech and expression policy for KU. The University Senate Executive Committee unanimously approved the committee, which will form this summer and work throughout the upcoming academic year.

Calling the free exchange of ideas the “bedrock upon which academic freedom and the pursuit of knowledge are based,” Williams’ proposal said such a policy should guarantee campus is a safe environment for freedom of speech by all.

“As KU works to improve its climate of equity and inclusion, the university must commit to protecting our right to free speech, regardless of how offensive, uncivil or disagreeable such communication might be to members of our community,” the proposal says.

“It must also find effective ways to educate about the responsibilities that come with this right.”

Especially with concealed carry coming to campus in 2017, KU must establish a climate for constructive discourse, to “develop a tolerance for disagreement while avoiding violent confrontation,” according to the proposal.

A free speech policy also should help assure that faculty and employee work is free from unacceptable pressure and influence, from inside or outside the university, the proposal said.

Many existing KU policies refer to the concepts of academic freedom and freedom of speech, but there’s no

Greedy sister’s behavior smacks of elder abuse Dear Annie: After my mother died 10 years ago, Dad asked his four daughters what to do with the small cabin he owned upstate. Three of us told him to sell it. My oldest sister, “Charlene,’’ however, asked if she could use it as a vacation home. She said she would help pay the property taxes and make sure it was taken care of, in exchange for exclusive use and enjoyment of the property. Dad agreed.

Well, Charlene rarely paid the taxes and did not take care of the property at all. Dad retired three years ago, and told Charlene he needed to sell the place. In response, she placed two mechanics liens against it, stating that she’d put thousands of

and more appeals. We thought it was over last year, but we just received another summons to appear before a different judge.

Meanwhile, we cannot sell the cabin until this is resolved.

My father is a fair man who had planned to split his estate equally between his daughters. Since this lawsuit started, he has disowned Charlene and now lives in near poverty due to all of the legal fees. This is so hurtful. Dad supported Charlene, paid for her college education and two weddings. Now she is killing him one lawsuit at a time, all because she is so greedy. How can we protect him? — Sisters

The many roles of Judd Hirsch Judd Hirsch guest-stars as Leonard’s father on “The Big Bang Theory” (7 p.m., CBS, TV-PG).

Best known as Alex Rieger on “Taxi,” Hirsch often turns up on television in both cameo and regular roles. He recently played a wise old antiques dealer on ABC’s “Forever.” Looking back, “Forever” was not a bad show. Its ratings, while not good, were still probably better than anything ABC has aired in its place since canceling it last year.

Hirsch made a m e m o rable appearance in the pilot of “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip” as a veteran TV producer delivering a passionate manifesto about the decline of intelligence in television comedy. Unfortunately, “Studio 60,” like a lot of Aaron Sorkin’s efforts, was a little long on manifestos. Who can forget when “The Newsroom” kicked off with Jeff Daniels popping off with a passionate manifesto about the decline of intelligence in television news?

Wait a minute — Aaron Sorkin wouldn’t repeat himself.

Would he?

And, of course, who can forget when Hirsch returned to his taxi in the 2014 spoof “Sharknado 2: The Second One”? It shouldn’t be too hard to see Hirsch in this paternal role on “The Big Bang.” He also plays “Pop Pop,” Murray’s (Jeff Garlin) father on “The Goldbergs,” continuing a role previously played by Paul Sorvino.

O The new documentary series “Las Vegas Law” (9 p.m., ID, TV-14) premieres tonight.

Not unlike “Law and Order,” it follows a case from indictment to sentencing. But the personalities the show follows are not actors, but real lawyers, DAs, crime victims and their friends and relatives.

The debut follows two cases, one against a drive-by shooter, whose actions resulted in the death of an intended victim as well as two unrelated individuals who were burned to death when the victim’s car exploded after hitting their cab. Another case concerns a massage therapist accused of molesting two female clients.

The participation of nonactors is both the strength and weakness of “Las Vegas Law.” The series is particularly painful when the victims’ loved ones are on camera. Not only does the show seem intrusive and manipulative, but the conventions of reality TV make their “performances” seem staged.

Tonight’s other highlights

ing new lawsuits, your father is stuck. She, too, is incurring legal fees, but may believe Dad will give up first.

If the cabin is worth substantially more than the liens, it might be possible for Dad to get a clean title and sell it, as long as money is left in escrow to pay for litigation. (Talk to Dad’s attorney.) But we hope you will report Charlene for elder abuse, because forcing Dad into poverty fits the bill.

EDITORIALS

Police board City officials should look into creating a citizens advisory board for the Lawrence Police Department.

E

stablishing some kind of citizen advisory board that could act as a link between the public and the Lawrence Police Department is an idea that’s worth considering.

Although the police department already is responsible directly to the Lawrence City Commission and the city manager, an advisory board that could focus on police operations and public interactions with police might be beneficial. The city has dozens of other advisory boards that focus on specific aspects of city operations — aviation, historic resources, bicycles and traffic safety, just to name a few. A board that concentrates on police could be helpful both to the public and to the department.

The possibility of a police board was raised recently following a JournalWorld report on the police department’s process for canceling traffic tickets. City Manager Tom Markus said Iowa City, Iowa, where he served as city manager before taking the Lawrence job, had a Citizen Police Review Board created to review complaints filed against the police department. The board offered an additional outlet for people who might not feel comfortable filing a complaint directly with the police department.

Manhattan, Topeka and Olathe all have similar citizen review boards that consider public complaints about their police departments. In some cases, those boards also look at policy matters within the departments and serve as a liaison between the community and the police.

These boards provide what seems like an important window on police operations that could promote better interactions between the departments and the public. Matthew Droge, public information officer for the Riley County Police Department in Manhattan, summed it up this way: “You kind of have to have input from the community. Otherwise, you’re just guessing.”

Consideration of a citizen board shouldn’t be seen as an indication that something is amiss in the Lawrence Police Department. However, having such a board would encourage public dialogue and likely increase the public’s confidence that the department is operating in a proper and professional manner. That, in turn, would help build mutual respect between the police and the public, which would benefit the community as a whole.

Amtrak poses public-private dilemma Washington — In 1906, Leonor Loree, an accomplished railroad executive, examined the dilapidated Kansas City Southern Railroad that he had been hired to rehabilitate.

Dismayed, he permanently enriched American slang by exclaiming: “This is a helluva way to run a railroad!” Judge Janice Rogers Brown of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, the nation’s second-most important court, recently said, with judicial decorousness, essentially the same thing about Amtrak.

She was not referring to its 46 consecutive years of operating losses, which include $306 million last year, and more than $16 billion since 1970, when Congress created Amtrak as a federally chartered, for-profit corporation.

Rather, Brown was referring to how Congress, by piling “anomaly on top of anomaly,” has made Amtrak into a “wholly unique statutory creature” — one empowered to regulate its competitors. Amtrak illustrates the administrative state’s routine drift into constitutional impropriety.

In 2008, Congress passed the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act (PRIIA), which endowed Amtrak with the powers of a regulatory agency that makes decisions, in conjunction with the Department of Transportation, about scheduling, uses of available tracks, maintenance and other metrics and standards that compel certain behavior by the entire U.S. rail industry. Freight rail entities, which actually are private, understandably objected, and the D.C. Circuit agreed with them that PRIIA was an

The obvious way to avoid such dangerous jumbles of public and private responsibilities is to never have such government-chartered entities as Amtrak (and Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and others).” unconstitutional delegation of governmental regulatory power to a private entity.

In 2015, however, the Supreme Court issued a through-the-looking-glass ruling worthy of Lewis Carroll’s Humpty Dumpty (“When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less”).

The court acknowledged that Congress has designated Amtrak a private corporation directed to maximize revenues in order to minimize the need for government subsidies.

So, Amtrak is required to be self-interested. Yet the court held that because Amtrak is indirectly controlled by Congress, however remotely, it can also be considered a government entity.

Passive courts, accommodating the administrative state’s activities, are permissive about agencies’ regulatory behavior that blurs the

line between legislation and regulation. But the Supreme Court returned freight operators’ challenge to the D.C. Circuit for answers to some remaining questions, including this one implicating the Fifth Amendment’s due process guarantee: May an economically self-interested entity exercise regulatory authority over competitors?

Writing for a unanimous three-judge panel, Brown rejected “a simple way to resolve this case,” refusing to adopt the naive hypothesis that “Amtrak’s political accountability — remote as it is — removes the taint of any potential for bias.” Instead, Brown wrote: “Our Constitution’s ingenious system of checks and balances assumes government officials will act self-interestedly.” She cited Alexander Hamilton from the first Federalist Paper: It would be nice if government officials’ decisions would always be “unbiased by considerations not connected with the public good,” but this is something “more ardently to be wished than seriously to be expected.”

Regarding Amtrak, Brown noted, “Congress delegated its legislative power to an entity that it designed to be the opposite of ‘presumptively disinterested.’” Among the chief concerns of the Framers of the Constitution “were questions of who should be permitted to exercise the awesome and coercive power of the government.” The Due Process Clause, wrote Brown, “puts Congress to a choice: its chartered entities may either compete, as market participants, or regulate, as official bodies.”

such dangerous jumbles of public and private responsibilities is to never have such government-chartered entities as Amtrak (and Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and others). “Indeed,” Brown warns, “government’s increasing reliance on public-private partnerships portends an even more ill-fitting accommodation between the exercise of regulatory power and concerns about fairness and accountability.”

This reliance is another unpleasant feature of America’s predictable future. For almost eight years, Barack Obama has had the courage of Woodrow Wilson’s anticonstitutional conviction that the separation of powers is an anachronistic inconvenience.

It supposedly denies Americans the blessings of what Professor Woodrow Wilson of Bryn Mawr College called administrators with “large powers and unhampered discretion.” It will be at least four years before even the possibility of a president who thinks otherwise.

There might never be another such president, now that the Republican Party is embracing a candidate for chief executive who embraces Wilson’s enthusiasm for unbounded executive power.

Now that both parties regard constitutional conservatism as an inconvenient anachronism, Amtrak is a harbinger of future bipartisanship: There will be the steady permeation of ostensibly, but not really, private entities with government’s presence, which for a century has been progressives’ consistent goal.

To the editor: The Kansas Supreme Court heard arguments this week about equitable school funding in Kansas. The Legislature has devised a school funding plan, and the court is to decide whether it meets the state constitution’s definition of equitable school funding. (There is also language about adequate school funding, but that is to be determined separately.)

To be clear: The Kansas Supreme Court is NOT overstepping its bounds in hearing this case or in requiring the Legislature to fund schools. On the contrary, the court is fulfilling its role in the system of checks and balances among the three branches of government that defines U.S. democracy. The school funding language is in the state constitution, and by definition, the state constitution is arbited by the courts.

Do not believe people who say the courts are out of line by hearing this case.

They would be out of line

by NOT hearing this case.

They are obligated to see to it that the schools in Kansas are funded equitably, and that is what they are doing.

If you do not like how the schools are funded or that this process is covered by the state constitution, or any other part of how this is being handled, there are 166 people (40 senators, 125 representatives and one governor) to whom you can voice your displeasure. They were responsible for changing the school funding plan that led us to the solution of the courts — not the other way around.

Emily Mulligan, Lawrence

City sidewalks To the editor: I, too, object to having the homeowner pay for repairs to the sidewalks. The city hired the contractors who put in the sidewalks. I had no say in the quality of work provided. The problem should remain with the city.

Twenty-three years ago, I paid specials for seven to 10 years to compensate for the streets, sewer and sidewalk.

Why should I now pay for that service again?

I don’t walk on the sidewalk. I use the yard. I didn’t choose to have a sidewalk either. The city made each neighborhood have a sidewalk (some get one on each side of the road). So why should I be burdened with this expense while all my neighbors without a sidewalk and the people with nothing to do but walk here get off scot-free?

If the city makes this repair my liability, am I then allowed to simply remove the sidewalk so I won’t have any future expenses? I’m retired and on a limited income. Removal would be less expensive. I’d sure do that if my car started causing me trouble.

The city got us into this with all their “gee-whiz” lists for people they need to appease. Let’s tighten the purse strings in the correct places. If this happens and homeowners pay for sidewalks, what’s next? Do we start paying extra for street repair too?

Roger Powell, Lawrence

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for May 12, 1916: years “After a short but ago spirited debate, IN 1916 the city commission yesterday afternoon passed an ordinance raising the pay of city policemen and providing for seven men instead of six on the force. The debate arose not over the question of wages, but the question of number on the force.... Commissioner Cleland objected to providing for an extra man on the force because the city budget did not provide for such an increase. ‘It was asserted,’ said Commissioner Cleland, ‘that after the city purchased a police car it would be possible to reduce the number of officers. Instead of that, we have an effort to increase the force.’ Mayor Francisco said that compared with other towns Lawrence still is under-officered, and that an officer for each thousand of the population was not an uncommon ratio.”

“This was May Fete day at the University, and as on so many previous fete days the weather man took charge of things and brought about a postponement of the big festivities of the day.

The several hundred students in the cast of the May Fete and the ‘Stuff of Laughter’ fantasy were overcast with gloom this morning when they woke to find a sky overcast with clouds. Then it rained. Then there was only one thing to do – put off the May Fete until the skies smile again.”

“The commencement at the University of Kansas this June will see reunions of the alumni of two classes that have been graduated from the University, ranging from the class of 1876 with five year intervals to the class of 1911. Also the classes of ‘14 and ‘15 will celebrate on the old stamping ground…. The class of 1881, besides celebrating its thirty-fifth anniversary, will furnish the alumni speaker, Stuart Henry, for the commencement program. Mr. Henry is president of the National Security company at New York and is the author of several successful writings, including novels of rare distinction.”

No trial for Planned Parenthood shooter

Gunman who admitted killing 3 ruled incompetent, to remain in state hospital Trevor Hughes @trevorhughes USA TODAY

The man who admitted to killing three people at a Planned Parenthood clinic was found incompetent to stand trial Wednesday and indefinitely confined to a state mental hospital.

Two state-appointed doctors said Robert Lewis Dear Jr. suffers from the delusion that the federal government has persecuted him for more than 20 years for his anti-government and anti-abortion beliefs. Judge Gilbert Martinez COLORADO SPRINGS

on Wednesday accepted those findings and ordered Dear to undergo unspecified “restoration treatment” at the state hospital.

During the hearing, Dear mocked Martinez when the judge verbally stumbled while reading his eight-page order. Dear also told reporters to examine a Bible verse to find the justification for his actions.

“Justice delayed is justice denied,” Dear interrupted.

As Dear was escorted from the courtroom following the hearing, he yelled “filthy animal” at the judge.

Dear has confessed repeatedly to the Nov. 27, 2015, attack, saying he intended to save the lives of

unborn babies.

Killed in the attack were police officer Garrett Swasey, a father of two; Army veteran Ke’Arre Stewart, a father of two; and Jennifer Markovsky, a mother of two. None of the victims worked for Planned Parenthood. The attack injured nine others. Police ended the assault when they crashed armored SWAT vehicles into the lobby of clinic where Dear had holed up.

Prosecutors charged Dear with 179 counts, including first-degree murder.

Those charges remain pending until a judge deems Dear competent to stand trial. The court must find that Dear understands the proceedings against him and can assist in his defense. The court will review Dear’s mental status every 90 days. If eventually found

competent and convicted, he could face the death penalty.

Dear told police he attacked the clinic because he was “upset with them performing abortions and the selling of baby parts,” according to documents released last month. He also admitted to fatally shooting an arriving police officer through a tinted window because he knew the officer couldn’t see him, the documents said.

Dear had confessed previously in open court to the shootings, and claimed he was a “warrior for the babies.”

The attack came after months of publicity over what Planned Parenthood says were deceptively edited video recordings purporting to show clinic staff elsewhere offering to sell fetal tissue for research purposes.

Iraqis look at the damage following a car bomb attack in Sadr City, a Shiite area north of Baghdad, on Wednesday.

U.S. military: Iraq violence reflects ISIL desperation

Jim Michaels @jimmichaels USA TODAY

The Islamic State’s bombings in Baghdad on Wednesday, the deadliest this year, reflect “desperate” attempts by the militant group to reverse a series of defeats by Iraqi forces and a U.S.-led coalition, the U.S. military said.

Three separate bombings in the Iraqi capital killed at least 93 people and injured 165, according to the Associated Press.

“As the enemy loses more and more terrain, they resort to some WASHINGTON

of these desperate acts,” Army Maj. Gen. Gary Volesky said from Baghdad.

The strikes could be an effort by the militants to divert the Iraqi government’s attention from its main offensives elsewhere against the Islamic State by forcing it to bring troops back to defend the capital. Iraq’s U.S.-backed military has put the radical fighters on the defense.

Volesky said Iraq’s government has not called for repositioning forces that would take soldiers away to defend the capital.

The Pentagon estimates Iraqi forces, aided by allies’ airstrikes and advisers, have retaken 40% of

the territory the Islamic State controlled at its peak strength last year. Still, the bombings show militants can penetrate the capital’s defenses to launch terrorist strikes against civilians, who are more frequent targets as the Islamic State’s losses mount.

The largest attack was a car bombing in a commercial section of Sadr City. It killed at least 63 people, according to the AP. Later, two other car bombs in different neighborhoods killed at least 30 people.

The bombing of a soccer stadium south of Baghdad in March killed at least 30 people. Twin bombings in Baghdad in February killed 70 people.

Iraq’s forces are engaged in preliminary operations to retake Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city, from Islamic State control and clear the Euphrates River Valley, where Iraq’s military expelled the militants from Ramadi.

Another Buckingham blooper is caught on camera Queen calls Chinese officials ‘very rude’ Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II was caught on camera describing Chinese officials as “very rude” to the British ambassador.

The monarch made the comments to a police official at an event at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday to mark her recent 90th birthday.

In the footage, recorded by the palace’s cameraman, Scotland LONDON

Yard Commander Lucy D’Orsi told the queen that being a commander for a state visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping in October was “quite a testing time.”

Introducing D’Orsi to the monarch, an official said D’Orsi was seriously undermined by the Chinese but managed to hold her own and remain in command.

“They were very rude to the ambassador,” the queen said, to which D’Orsi agreed. The remark is highly unusual as the queen usually steers clear of politics in public. China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said that Xi made a “very successful visit” to Britain.

It was the second embarrassing incident from the palace event to come to public attention.

Earlier, Prime Minister David Cameron was filmed telling the queen that Nigeria and Afghanistan were “fantastically corrupt.”

He was speaking ahead of an anti-corruption summit he will host in London on Thursday.

Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari — who pledged to fight corruption ahead of his election last year — delivered the keynote speech Wednesday at a separate anti-corruption conference in London hosted by the Commonwealth, an association of 53 countries.

“We’ve got some leaders of some fantastically corrupt countries coming to Britain ... Nigeria and Afghanistan, possibly the two most corrupt countries in the world,” Cameron said in the comments to the queen caught on camera.

Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby — the leader of the Anglican Church — interjected: “But this particular president is actually not corrupt. ... He’s trying very hard.”

On Wednesday, Cameron told British lawmakers that Nigeria and Afghanistan had taken “remarkable steps forward” on corruption.

Obama order opens door for outsider President slightly alters transition process for White House successor Gregory Korte @gregorykorte USA TODAY

WASHINGTON President Obama began preparing for a transition to the next president — leaving open the possibility that the next chief executive could be a thirdparty candidate.

In an executive order, Obama established a White House Transition Coordinating Council. Its job: to help eligible candidates prepare for the presidency even before the November election.

That wording — “eligible candidates” — is a subtle change

from the last transition in 2008, when President George W. Bush ordered that the executive branch coordinate efforts with “major party” candidates for president.

The order comes as some conservatives contemplate whether it’s possible to mount a thirdparty campaign to rival the seemingly inevitable Republican nominee, Donald Trump.

The change is driven less by the state of partisan politics and more by the law. Congress required the president to get an earlier start on the transition, even before it becomes clear who the candidates will be.

months before the election and provide services to the transition teams of presidential candidates.

Those services are available to

major-party candidates and “any other candidate who has been determined by the administrator to be among the principal contenders for the general election to such offices.”

The administrator is Denise Turner Roth, head of the General Services Administration, which coordinates the transition. She has not made a decision on whether any third-party candidates would be eligible, and there’s little precedent to guide the decision. GSA spokeswoman Ashley Nash-Hahn noted that it’s only the second election in which the agency has had to coordinate with candidates.

Transition services include issue briefings, personnel management and security clearances for top campaign officials.

Trump, Ryan to discuss party’s future

David Jackson @djusatoday USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Donald Trump’s presidential nomination is going to change the Republican Party and the conservative movement that has fueled it for more than a half-century.

The only question is how.

A struggle to define conservatism and the GOP itself is at the heart of Trump’s high-profile meetings Thursday with Republican congressional leaders — notably House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., whose reluctance to endorse the party’s presumptive nominee has roiled the presidential race.

While Ryan said he wants to eventually back Trump, he told reporters Wednesday that the party should not “pretend” to be unified ahead of what looks like to be a tough battle for the White House against Democrat Hillary Clinton.

“This election is too important to go into an election at half strength,” Ryan said. “That means we need a real unification of our party. ... After a tough primary, that’s going to take some effort.”

Trump, who has challenged Republican orthodoxy on such issues as trade, immigration, taxes and military commitments overseas, said he wants to unite the party behind his movement but also is confident he can put together a winning coalition against Clinton regardless.

“If we make a deal, that will be great,” Trump told Fox & Friends a day before the Ryan sit-down.

“And if we don’t, we will trudge forward like I’ve been doing and winning, you know, all the time.”

House Speaker Paul Ryan

cluding 2012 presidential nominee Mitt Romney, are refusing to back Trump for a variety of reasons; many fear he could cost the GOP control of the House and Senate, another topic of Trump’s meetings on Thursday.

As for issues, the indictment against Trump includes his proposals on immigration (massive deportations and the proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexican border), trade (tearing up existing agreements Trump says are unfair), social policy (a proposed ban on most Muslims entering the U.S.), and foreign and domestic policies that the New York businessman said should be “unpredictable” and “flexible.”

One-time Republican primary rivals including former Florida governor Jeb Bush and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham have made it clear they will remain in the “Never Trump” camp. The last two Republican presidents — George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush — have pledged to stay out of the race, including the July 18-21 convention

in Cleveland that will formally nominate the real estate mogul.

Trump’s attacks on critics and protesters as “losers” and worse also have drawn criticism from fellow Republicans who say he lacks the judgment and temperament to be president.

Deborah DeMoss Fonseca, spokesperson for an organization called Conservatives Against Trump, said the businessman’s “only ideology is self-promotion, the dollar bill, and authoritarianism.”

If Trump becomes “the voice of conservatism,” she said, then “the liberal Democrats will stay in power for many, many years to come.”

Trump describes himself as a conservative who is addressing Americans’ legitimate worries about illegal immigration and trade deals that lead to the elimination of jobs in the United States. Trump says he is bringing new people into the party and that his support is a “mandate” to maintain his views and style in the general election.

Doctor: Funding feud foils Zika fight BETHESDA , MD. The nation’s top expert on infectious diseases warns that a funding stalemate between the White House and Congress threatens to slow efforts to contain the Zika virus “to a dangerous level” even as the risks of an outbreak along the Gulf Coast and elsewhere rise.

“We have had to pull money out of other areas to get started,” Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, told Capital Download on Wednesday.

“You can’t sustain that for much longer. That’s just a stopgap measure. If we don’t get the money that the president has asked for, the $1.9 billion, that is going to have a very serious negative impact on our ability to get the job done.”

President Obama sent an emergency request to Congress in February, but it’s become enmeshed in a debate over what restrictions should be placed on use of the money and whether at least

The nearly 500 cases in the continental USA have been contracted abroad by returning travelers — but that’s likely to change in warmer weather, Fauci said.

Fauci has led the infectious diseases institute for more than three decades, through Republican and Democratic administrations. He told USA TODAY’s weekly video newsmaker series that budget showdowns and growing partisan pressures have made it more difficult to get the resources to respond to public health emergencies.

“We have been for some time under an era of budgetary constrictions,” he said. “That’s been more intensified over the last several years as we’ve had budget battles that have spilled over well beyond the arena of health and research.”

Students and activists supporting Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff demonstrate Monday in São Paulo. Writings on the street read “Students against the coup.”

Brazil’s president faces impeachment Political turmoil adds to country’s troubles as the world is watching Shannon Sims and Alaine Ball Special for USA TODAY

PAULO Less than three months before the Rio Olympics, Brazil headed deeper into political and economic disarray Wednesday as President Dilma Rousseff faced imminent impeachment.

The Senate planned to vote on whether Rousseff would go to trial over breaking public spending accounting rules. Some newspaper polls showed the necessary majority of the senate’s 81 members was prepared to vote for impeachment.

If that happens, Rousseff will be suspended from office and the trial will begin within 180 days.

Vice President Michel Temer, a member of the centrist Brazilian SÃO

Democratic Movement Party, would take over until the trial rendered a verdict.

The political chaos, on top of a severe economic downturn that has gripped Brazil, is not expected to directly affect the Olympic Games, which open Aug. 5. However, the turmoil would be an embarrassment since the president plays host at the opening ceremony. In addition, massive demonstrations for and against Rousseff like those that have occurred this year could disrupt travel by visitors attending Olympic events.

Brazil’s highest court said Wednesday it rejected an appeal filed by Rousseff’s government to stop the Senate impeachment vote, the Associated Press reported. The appeal was turned down as the full senate met in a session.

GETTY IMAGES

President Dilma Rousseff is accused of misusing public funds.

“Brazil is much better than this gang of wrongdoers,” said Sen. Ataídes Oliveira, a pro-impeachment lawmaker with the centerright Republican Party of the Social Order. “Brazil today starts to turn this sad page in our history.”

Oliveira also blasted Rousseff’s

mentor former President Luiz Inácio “Lula” da Silva.

“I want to talk to you Lula. I believe you’re watching us,” Oliveira said. “The blame for all this disaster is yours. You who put this creature (Rousseff ) in charge of the country.”

Lula was recently implicated in Operation Carwash, an investigation into political corruption involving the state-owned oil company, Petrobras, that has resulted in charges against many other Brazilian politicians.

Sen. Humberto Costa, the Worker’s Party leader, said he believed his colleagues’ speeches could delay a vote until at least early Thursday morning.

Costa, however, acknowledged that he might be fighting different political battles in the near future if the Senate votes to hold an impeachment trial.

Used to holding the presidency for the past 13 years, the Worker’s Party still would defend the rights of the working poor in the country if Temer sought to roll back gains Lula and Rousseff made for struggling families, Costa said.

FEDS: BLAST AT FERTILIZER PLANT IN TEXAS WAS ARSON

Federal investigators on Wednesday blamed arson for a deadly explosion at a fertilizer plant in Texas in 2013 that killed 15 people, calling it a “criminal act.”

The dead included 12 first-responders who rushed to the scene of the blast in West, Texas.

The explosion, which occurred about 20 minutes after a fire was reported at the West Fertilizer Company storage and distribution facility plant, also injured 160 people and destroyed 500 homes.

House members are expected to overwhelmingly pass a total of 18 bills this week focused on opioid addiction, treatment and prevention.

Lawmakers said criminal penalties remain an important deterrent, but that the FBI’s resources to investigate and prosecute trade secret theft are limited.

Federal prosecutors in Minneapolis on Wednesday began laying out their case against three young Somali-American men who allegedly plotted to join the Islamic State.

The trial of Abdirahman Yasin Daud, 22, Mohamed Abdihamid Farah, 22, and Guled Ali Omar, 21, has the potential of offering the most intimate glimpse into how the extremist group has managed to have success in attracting a least dozen young people from Minnesota’s large Somali community to the fight in Syria and Iraq.

Six other Somali-Americans from the Minneapolis-area who prosecutors connected to the three young men already have pleaded guilty to conspiring to travel to Syria to join ISIL. A 10th Minneapolis-area man, Abdi Nur, is believed to be in Syria fighting with ISIS. Federal authorities said that Nur continued to recruit individuals from Minnesota.

What is unique about this case is the large number of individuals involved in the conspiracy, and how their deep personal connections may have played in the radicalization process. Some of those who have already pleaded guilty could be called to testify in the trial that is expected to take about three to four weeks.

The investigation into the Minneapolis conspiracy started in March 2014. Agents with the FBI relied on a confidential informant who gave them a window into the radicalization of a group of young men in Minneapolis’ SomaliAmerican community.

The three men on trial were arrested along with three other friends and associates on April 19, 2015, according to the criminal complaint.

Daud and Farah were arrested in San Diego, where prosecutors say the two, along with an FBI informant, traveled to buy fake passports for their travel to Syria.

Omar and three other men, who have since plead guilty, were taken into custody in Minnesota.

Daud had communicated with members of ISIS, including Nur, ahead of his arrest, according to prosecutors.

Federal authorities also say they found messages between Daud and an unidentified ISIS member offering instruction on how to get to Syria and what type of SIM card he should buy for his cellphone he arrived in Turkey, the typical entry-point for foreign fighters trying to enter Syria.

In a secretly recorded conversation, Farah also told the informant he would kill FBI agents “if our backs are against the wall,” according to prosecutors.

Prosecutors alleged that Omar and Farah, along with three other Minneapolis men, had planned to travel to Syria earlier, but were thwarted by authorities who had been tipped about their plans from a confidential informant.

Farah along with three other men that prosecutors allege were part of the conspiracy took a Greyhound bus to New York in November with the intention of flying overseas and winding their way to Syria. Farah and two of the men were stopped at customs, while a fourth was taken off a flight bound for Istanbul, according to prosecutors.

After the men were thwarted in November 2014, prosecutors say they discussed among themselves about the need to show patience.

Prosecutors say Omar told his friends to fool the FBI. Prosecutors say Daud talked to the group about the need to convince authorities that they were no longer a threat, urging his coconspirators to “fake it ‘til you make it.”

What is unique about this case is the large number of individuals involved, and how their personal connections may have played.

Splashy sculpture rocks the desert Jenny Kane

Reno Gazette-Journal

A fluorescent Stonehenge has found a home outside of Las Vegas.

Five years in the making, “Seven Magic Mountains” is the $3.5 million work of Ugo Rondinone, an artist known for playful, meditative rock sculptures. He is fast becoming one of the most talked about names in land art — a movement and genre based on the manipulation of land.

This particular work — Rondinone’s first commissioned public work — is inspired by natural Southwest “hoodoo” formations.

It’s about “thresholds and crossings, of balanced marvels and excessive colors, of casting and gathering and the contrary air between the desert and the city lights,” according to the artist, who now lives in New York.

Located at the far southern end of Las Vegas Boulevard along Interstate 15, the roadside eye candy includes seven 30- to 35-foot tall stacks of giant, jagged limestone chunks.

Each is dipped in a paint palette of its own Day-Glo hue, from Victoria’s Secret pink to construction cone orange and Titanic sapphire.

card offers.

The ban, which takes effect July 13, comes ahead of stricter regulations from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Facebook officially banned advertisements for payday loans last August. Before that, the giant social network’s policy was to only allow ads from payday lenders

with Facebook’s permission.

A trade group for payday lenders called the policy “discriminatory and a form of censorship.

The Internet is meant to express the free flow of ideas and enhance commerce. Google is making a blanket assessment about the payday lending industry rather than discerning the good actors from the bad actors,” Amy Cantu, spokeswoman for the Community Financial Services Association of America, said in an emailed statement. “This is unfair towards those that are legal, licensed lenders and uphold best business practices.” She said the statement applies to Facebook

“and others with these policies.”

Critics of payday lenders say they hope Google’s new position will significantly undermine opportunistic lenders that hunt for customers on the Internet and disproportionately target communities of color still struggling to recover from the economic downturn. Consumers who turn to online lenders for payday loans face hidden risks of costly banking fees and account closures, according to a federal analysis released in April.

Four ways ‘Brexit’could damage global markets 95% of U.S. companies in the U.K. favor staying in the EU — and for good reason Kim Hjelmgaard and Roger Yu

@khjelmgaard, @RogerYu_ USA TODAY

If the United Kingdom votes to leave the European Union on June 23, it may send shock waves through the global economy.

The “Remain” camp sees major economic pitfalls if U.K. voters opt to cast aside ties with the 28nation bloc, including a drop in trade, economic output and global influence. The “Leave” side sees opportunities that include more sovereignty over British borders, social and economic programs and regulations.

The latest polls show the British public evenly split on the issue.

Here are four ways a British exit — “Brexit” — is causing global shivers:

spots in the global economy. A report by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development concluded that Brexit “would have persistent adverse consequences on economic activity in the U.K. and would result in negative near-term spillovers elsewhere, particularly in the rest of the EU.” Capital Economics, a consultancy, noted that “The London School of Economics estimates that the U.K. leaving the EU and joining the European Free Trade Association will reduce British GDP by at least 2.2% in its optimistic scenario, and between 6.3% and 9.5% in its pessimistic one.”

Other studies are less pessimistic. “Open Europe estimates that, if the U.K. embraced protectionism in the wake of a Brexit, this could cost 2.2% of GDP by 2030. By contrast, if it followed a path of economic openness, Britain could outperform the EU. In that case, Brexit could add at least 1.6% to national income by 2030,” Capital Economics said.

the vote. A Brexit could hurt the euro and pound further, sending the dollar higher and aggravating depressed U.S. exports. The impact of a vote to leave the EU would almost certainly lead to sharp falls in the pound, said Alastair Archbold, a broker at the Foremost Currency Group.

“Once the dust has settled however, it’s likely that investors would start to worry about the wider impact of what the Brexit means,” he said.

“It’s here that it would start to affect global currencies. Investors would likely be spooked into seeking safer havens such as the U.S. dollar, Swiss franc and Japanese yen, strengthening these currencies,” he said.

Britain’s National Institute of Economic and Social Research estimated that the pound may fall as much as 20% in the event of Brexit. According to a report by research firm East & Partners, four-fifths of British companies fear Brexit would lead to sharp falls for the pound against the dollar. These firms forecast an average decline of 12%.

TRADE

Brexit might hurt U.K.-EU trade and could have wider implications. The U.K. exports about half of all its goods to the EU, and “Britain is also the single-largest export market for the rest of the EU,” said Robin Niblett, director of the Chatham House think tank in London. He said Brexit would mean “negotiating new terms of access to the EU market and to the more than 50 countries to which the U.K. currently has access through EU trade deals,” including with the United States.

President Obama said during his visit to Britain that a U.K. outside the EU would have to go to the “back of the queue” for a trade deal if it votes for Brexit.

“It could be five years from now, 10 years from now,” Obama said.

Pro-Brexit campaigners such as former London mayor Boris Johnson, nevertheless, argue that Brexit would mean that the U.K. would be free to negotiate more advantageous trade deals with individual nations.

Shares of department store giant Macy’s fell 15.2% and Disney fell 4%.

Watchmaker losing time in ability to adapt Q: Is Fossil extinct?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: When watches were just about fashion and time telling, Fossil carved out a niche for itself. But the battle over the wrist is intensifying as consumers demand more from their watches.

Fossil, a maker of watches and other accessories, is now finding itself in direct competition with new rivals ranging from Fitbit to Apple and Samsung and Microsoft.

Many consumers who were in the market for watches costing about $100 or less are now wearing devices that track sleep, count steps and display smartphone notifications.

Fossil is attempting to adapt.

Last year, it paid $236 million for Misfit, a maker of smart home devices including wearables. But the watch market is being disrupted so quickly it’s difficult for Fossil to morph itself fast enough.

Shares of Fossil dropped more than $11, or 28%, to roughly $28 a share Wednesday after reporting another quarter of lower profit. Adjusted profit dropped 87% to 12 cents a share, which was 25% lower than expected. Revenue dropped 9% to $660 million.

Analysts aren’t all that optimistic things will turn around anytime soon.

Analysts seem to think the stock has bottomed, but profit is seen dropping further. Adjusted profit is expected to drop in half this fiscal year.

Staples, Office Depot stocks plunge after merger is rejected Nathan Bomey and Kevin McCoy

@NathanBomey, @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

Shares of Staples and Office Depot nosedived Wednesday after their $6.3 billion merger deal collapsed.

Investors flocked from both retailers after the office supply giants scrapped their deal in the wake of a federal judge’s decision to issue a temporary injunction blocking the accord. The judge ruled on objections raised by the Federal Trade Commission.

CJ GUNTHER, EPA

Office Depot shares plummeted 40.4% to close at $3.63 and Staples shares fell 18.3% to $8.46.

The merger’s demise casts a cloud of uncertainty over the next steps for each retailer. The Obama administration had challenged the deal on anticompetitive grounds.

It was the second time in 19

years the companies called off a merger after federal regulators raised antitrust concerns.

Debbie Feinstein, director of the FTC’s competition bureau, characterized the ruling as “great news for business customers in the office supply market.”

“This deal would eliminate head-to-head competition between Staples and Office Depot and likely lead to higher prices and lower quality service for large businesses that buy office supplies,” Feinstein said.

In a statement, Office Depot CEO Roland Smith expressed dismay and said the merger deal

would formally end May 16.

“While we are respectful of the Court’s decision to grant the FTC’s request for a preliminary injunction to prevent our merger with Staples, we are disappointed by this outcome and strongly believe that a merger would have benefited all of our customers in the long term,” Smith said.

Staples CEO Ronald Sargent said the judge approved the FTC’s request “despite the fact that it failed to define the relevant market correctly and fell woefully short of proving its case.”

Staples said under the terms of the merger agreement, it will pay

a $250 million break-up fee to Office Depot. Staples also says it no longer will sell more than $550 million in its large corporate contract business to office products company Essendant as part of the Office Depot merger agreement.

U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan said the FTC “met their burden of showing that there is a reasonable probability that the proposed merger will substantially impair competition in the sale and distribution of consumable office supplies to large Businessto-Business customers.”

Trainor performs on one of the biggest stages of all — the Grammys — Feb. 15 in Los Angeles, where she won best new artist.

With the pressure on for her second album, she held her ground Patrick Ryan USA TODAY

NEW YORK Before she could say Thank You, Meghan Trainor had to hear a lot of No. For months, the 22-year-old toiled away on her follow-up to last year’s debut album, Title, which boasted a string of wholesome, doo-wop-flavored hits including Lips Are Movin, Dear Future Husband and body-positive breakout All About That Bass. But just as often as she’d turn in new music, her label would tell her to go back to the drawing board.

“I kept coming back and saying, ‘Is this one good?’ ” Trainor says, relaxing on a couch after a performance Monday. She eventually wrote about three albums’ worth of songs, most of which “were more doo-woppy. I was doing exactly what everyone expected me to do, and I agreed:

I could do more.”

So with the guidance of producer Ricky Reed, she decided to throw everything at the wall and experiment with various musical styles on her new album, out Friday. On Better, with an assist from rapper Yo Gotti, she puts a breezy, tropical spin on the breakup ballad — influenced in part by her upbringing in Nantucket, Mass., where she played with her family’s Caribbean band.

She tries rapping on opening song Watch Me Do and makes a go at swaggering club music with latest single Me Too, whose music video was pulled offline and rereleased this week when she discovered that her waist had been digitally slimmed without her permission.

“My main idea was, may the best song win,” Trainor says. “I didn’t care about genre. I was like, ‘I don’t care if one sounds folk and one sounds funky,’ as long as they were the best songs.”

“I was doing exactly what everyone expected me to do, and I agreed: I could do more.”

She took a similarly adventurous approach to feisty lead single No, which hit No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and has sold 923,000 downloads since March, according to Nielsen Music. Inspired by early-2000s pop artists in her iTunes library — Britney Spears, NSYNC and Destiny’s Child — she wrote the girlpower anthem immediately after a meeting with Epic Records boss L.A. Reid.

“The day I wrote it, he told me I didn’t have a single,” Trainor says. “I was like, ‘OK, I’ll leave

now and go write your single.’ ” In the chorus, “you hear me angry, singing, ‘You need to let it go.’

That’s me yelling at him, like, ‘I’m not going to write Bass 2.0. That’s not gonna happen. I’m gonna do new music, move on and grow up.’ ” With Thank You, a tribute to her family and fans, Trainor says she hopes she’s seen as a songwriter first and pop star second.

After all, it was writing Bass that earned her two Grammy nominations, with an eventual win for best new artist in February.

“I was always told it takes one song, and that’s right,” Trainor says. “I would ask big songwriters, ‘Did you know when you wrote that that was it?’ They’d be like, ‘No.’ Bass? I didn’t think it was that good. When I told my parents ‘That’s the song,’ they were like, ‘That’s the song?’ And that took me from writing songs in my Nashville apartment to the Grammys in like, a year.”

Clashing parents blow up ‘Big Bang’ finale Bill Keveney @billkev USA TODAY

The Big Bang Theory aims for comedic nuclear fusion in Thursday’s ninth-season finale (CBS, 8 p.m. ET/PT), mixing stars from hit sitcoms on TV’s most-watched comedy.

Taxi’s Judd Hirsch makes his first appearance, joining returning guest stars Christine Baranski (an Emmy winner for Cybill) and Roseanne’s Laurie Metcalf for a family gathering that’s anything but warm and fuzzy.

Hirsch says he was a Big Bang fan before Johnny Galecki, who plays Leonard, asked him to play Leonard’s father.

“I said, ‘I love that show,’ ” Hirsch says. “That it has lasted this long is a tribute to how wellwritten and acted it is.”

Hirsch plays anthropologist Alfred Hofstadter, who arrives for the delayed marriage celebration of his son and wife Penny (Kaley Cuoco), months after they eloped.

Hirsch says Galecki told him that his Alex Reiger, the levelheaded guy at the center of an eccentric Taxi crew, influenced his portrayal of Leonard. “It’s not the same guy but the same position,

MICHAEL YARISH, WARNER BROS. ENTERTAINMENT INC.

Leonard’s mom, Beverly (Christine Baranski, left) keeps things lively with Amy (Mayim Bialik) and Sheldon (Jim Parsons). the one of common sense.”

Alfred and ex-wife Beverly (Baranski) can’t stand each other, creating tension at a get-together that includes the whole Bang gang, including Sheldon (Jim Parsons) and his mother, Mary (Metcalf ). To complicate matters, Alfred hits it off with Mary, despite the clash of his scientific views and her religious beliefs.

“There is an unexpected attraction,” says executive producer Steven Molaro, who adds the tentative plan is to pick up the story

with the guest stars in the fall.

Baranski, who worked with Bang co-creator Chuck Lorre on Cybill and just finished CBS’s The Good Wife, describes the BeverlyAlfred relationship as “horrible,” likening Leonard’s parents to the viciously battling couple in 1966’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf ?

“They don’t even care (what they say). They’re emotionally so exposed,” Baranski says. “It’s a dysfunctional, toxic mix.

“It doesn’t surprise me that Chuck would have created such a

giant hit with The Big Bang Theory. It’s truly witty and it’s all about fundamental human connections,” says the actress, adding that the comedy turn “delayed my going into mourning for (the end of) The Good Wife.”

Attracting the three high-caliber guests is “a mind-blowing thrill, says Molaro. “The minute Judd walked onto the stage, I heard Kaley (say), ‘He really does look like he could be (Leonard’s) father.’ It just felt right.”

Thursday’s episode concludes a season that featured big changes for Bang’s awkward geniuses: Penny and Leonard got married; Sheldon and Amy (Mayim Bialik) had sex for the first time; and Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) and Bernadette (Melissa Rauch) are preparing for a baby.

“I like that we can do more mature stories about babies and weddings and at the same time Sheldon is having a fight about people cutting the line at a movie screening,” Molaro says, referring to last week’s episode.

Bang is renewed through next season, but Molaro says the show could go further, if Warner Bros. can lure the actors into new contracts. “There’s a lot of people that have a say in that, but it certainly looks like it will have a life beyond (Season) 10.”

CITY SHOWDOWN SOFTBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Expansion bad idea for Big 12 but might help KU It will take expanding all the way to 16-member conferences for power brokers in college athletics to realize that the size that makes most sense is cutting that number in half.

An eight-team conference in which every school plays the other once in football and twice in basketball allows for more nonconference scheduling flexibility and ensures that no school has a scheduling advantage over another.

Eight is enough, the perfect number, really.

For instance, Kansas University could schedule five stiffs in football and pull off one upset in conference play and gain bowleligibility. In basketball, the Jayhawks could use the extra two games either to add a home date or schedule an annual home-and-home with a fellow blue blood.

Since the days of power brokers coming to their senses are decades, maybe centuries, in the distance, no point in spending any more time fantasizing about the efficiency of eightmember conferences.

Back to reality: Big 12 expansion talk buzz has returned in the wake of feedback from a consultant, Navigate Research, hired to conclude whether expansion from 10 to 12 would increase the conference’s chances of landing in the four-team college football playoff.

Doing so, the consultant concluded, would increase chances by 4 or 5 percent.

OK, so that’s once in every 20 years.

Two questions: 1. Is that worth expansion for the sake of expansion? Of course not. 2. Does anyone really believe that the playoff won’t expand to eight teams within the next decade? Not anyone who knows how to follow the money trail.

Still, expansion will be discussed when Big 12 presidents/chancellors meet May 31 in Irving, Texas. Granting entrance to another member requires approval from a super-majority (75 percent). Obviously, if one school were allowed in, a second must follow.

It’s a lot of fun to discuss which schools make the most sense in the event of expansion. It’s also beside the point, because what’s best for the conference does not necessarily coincide with what has the best chance of gaining approval from eight of the 10 members.

For example, the University of Houston is so committed to football that it extended coach Tom Herman’s contract five years to the tune of $2.8 million per season. It ranks 10th among the nation’s television markets, per Nielsen. The city brims with outstanding football and basketball prospects.

All of that explains why Texas, and to a lesser extent Baylor and TCU,

FREE STATE HIGH PLAYERS HIGH-FIVE MAYAH DANIELS (17) AFTER DANIELS SCORED a run against Lawrence High. The Firebirds defeated the Lions, 6-2, on Wednesday at Free State. For more photos, please visit www.ljworld.com/softball51116

Firebirds erase early deficit against Lions

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Facing her team’s crosstown rivals for the second time in two days, Free State High senior pitcher Elizabeth Patton figured Lawrence’s hitters would step into the batter’s box Wednesday at FSHS eager to avenge a 13run beating.

Patton predicted correctly, but even though the Lions pounced early to put the Firebirds in a two-run hole to start the game, neither the veteran right-handed pitcher nor her teammates blinked, and Free State won another City Showdown, 6-2.

“We had to deal with our own emotions,” Patton said after FSHS closed the regular season with a Senior Day victory, “and then deal with the fact they were coming back from a loss.”

Firebirds coach Lee Ice described it as a tough, emotional day for players and coaches. It began with rival Lawrence (9-11) taking a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning, but Ice left the field proud of how his players responded.

“Yeah, we gave up two runs early,” Ice said, “but we didn’t panic, and we scored the five (in the bottom of the third). It was a matter of, our

crooked number was a little bit bigger than theirs.”

An unforeseen strategy implemented by LHS coach Joe Dee Tarbutton played a role in Free State’s gamechanging inning. Sophomore Lions pitcher Zoe Brewer, who kept the Firebirds (119) scoreless in the first two frames, hit FSHS junior Dacia Starr with one out in the bottom of the third. At that point, Tarbutton removed his starting pitcher from the circle and inserted senior Amber Flummerfelt, whose first-inning struggles the previous day at LHS set up a 13-run inning for the Firebirds.

Once again, FSHS found success. Senior Kate Stanwix walked, senior Emily Byers delivered an RBI single, senior Cali Byrn drew another base on balls and junior Mayah Danels smacked an RBI single up the middle to tie the game.

Oddly enough, at that point Tarbutton brought Brewer back in to pitch. The sophomore, who had just left the circle up 2-0 with a runner on first and one out, returned to a tie game with the bases loaded and one out.

According to Tarbutton, he planned the switch and Please see SOFTBALL, page 3C

Free State golfers third at league

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Free State High junior golfer Jack Junge told his coaches earlier this week that he wanted to play in the top group at the Lawrence Invitational on Wednesday at Eagle Bend.

Junge’s thinking was if he wanted to be the best, he had to beat the best.

In the last round of the Sunflower League tournament, Junge limited his mistakes and fired a season-low 75, finishing eighth at the tournament and fifth in the league. He helped the Firebirds finish third in both the tournament and league standings.

Junge, playing alongside Shawnee Mission East’s Andy Spencer and SM Northwest’s Blake Allen, said the nerves went away after the first tee box. Spencer repeated as the league’s individual champion, and Allen was runner-up. Allen won Wednesday’s tournament, carding a 2-under 70.

“I was hitting a lot of Please see KEEGAN, page 2C greens,” Junge said. “I hit

LAWRENCE HIGH SENIOR DAWSON DYKES reacts to missing a long putt on the second green during the LHS Invitational on Wednesday at Eagle Bend. seven greens in a row in the front. I was just making pars and letting the birdies come on their own.”

Throughout the season, Junge has turned into his team’s most consistent golfer. His biggest strength is hitting fairways, and he has only added to it by drilling greens. Last year, he was the opposite of consistent but has cut down on his mistakes.

Junge’s only negative throughout the afternoon

was a double bogey on the 16th hole.

“He’s got the game to play with those two guys,” Free State coach Chuck Law said of Junge. “There’s no doubt about it. I think, maybe, he proved that to himself today.”

Along with Junge, Free State freshman Landon Berquist shot a season-best 77. He worked on his short game throughout practice

AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE

AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE

would not want anything to do with elevating Houston’s profile to the extent the schools begin losing recruits to the Cougars. The Longhorns are big in Houston and want to keep it that way.

Many suggest that Cincinnati would make a nice geographic partner for West Virginia. True enough, so that’s one vote in favor of the Bearcats. Why should any other school care about easing the travel burden for the Mountaineers, an excellent Big 12 fit in every way except geography?

Brigham Young? Nice national audience. Strong football tradition. The Cougars don’t compete on Sundays, which throws scheduling for baseball and some other sports into disarray.

Colorado State? That heightens the Rams’ profile big-time and does the opposite for the profile of the Big 12, which lost Colorado to the Pac-12.

UConn and Central Florida have reason to want to join the Big 12. FedEx long has been known to want to help Memphis join the Big 12. Reporting from ESPN’s Jake Trotter put some meat on those bones.

FedEx chairman Fred Smith promised in a letter that was part of Memphis’ lobbying for memberships that his company would sponsor Big 12 football and basketball if Memphis were allowed to join, Trotter reported.

Memphis has as strong a case as any of the prospective members. Still, the addition of any of the interested schools would dilute the prestige of the Big 12, which already took a hit when Colorado, Missouri, Nebraska and Texas A&M bolted for more dollars.

Staying at 10 members seems the smart play for the conference.

Naturally, I would prefer what’s best for me to what’s best for the Big 12. I want to welcome Colorado State and UConn to the Big 12 so that the four Texas and two Oklahoma schools would form the South. Under that scenario, KU’s competitors in the North become Colorado State, Connecticut, Iowa State, Kansas State and West Virginia. In football, Kansas plays three schools per year from the North, all five from the South, and schedules four nonconference games. It would soften the brutal schedule a bit. The Jayhawks lost their Big 12 games by an average margin of 35.7 points a year ago. That’s not as enjoyable to cover as a schedule that would add a weak nonconference opponent and cut in half the number of games against the six heavyweights from the South.

So I think expansion would be bad for the Big 12 and good for me, which is why I wholeheartedly endorse it.

Serna, Rapids keep Sporting reeling, 1-0 Commerce City, Colo. (ap) — Dillon Serna scored two minutes after entering as a second-half substitute, and the Colorado Rapids beat 10-man Sporting Kansas City 1-0 on Wednesday night.

Ike Opara received his second yellow card on a questionable call in the 76th minute.

Moments later, Serna rolled in a shot from distance to give Colorado the lead in the 78th.

Colorado (7-2-2) won its sixth straight home game to tie a team mark set in the 2005 season. The Rapids also extended their undefeated streak to seven games.

Kansas City (4-6-2) had its winless run stretched to seven games — the club’s longest since a 10-game run without a victory in 2011. Sporting KC struggled on the offensive side with only one shot on goal.

Raptors go up 3-2 on Heat The Associated Press

Raptors 99, Heat 91 Toronto — DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry went from invisible to indispensable for the Toronto Raptors.

DeRozan matched a playoff high with 34 points, Lowry had 25, and the Raptors beat the Miami Heat 99-91 on Wednesday night to take a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

“We have faith in those guys, they’ve carried us the entire season,” Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. “Not one time did we doubt their ability to score.”

Bismack Biyombo had 10 points for the Raptors, who never trailed. Toronto can clinch its first conference finals berth with a win in Game 6 in Miami on Friday.

Lowry and DeRozan made six of 28 shot attempts and scored 19 total points as Toronto lost 94-87 in overtime in Game 4.

In Game 5, Toronto’s AllStars tallied 19 points in the first quarter alone. They shot 20 for 47 overall and scored 59 points, their highest total this postseason, even with DeRozan battling a bad thumb that took another hard hit in the second half.

“We just tried to go out there and be aggressive,” DeRozan said. “We’ve been aggressive these past two series and shots just weren’t dropping for us.

We just told ourselves we were going to continue to be aggressive and it was going to come back around.”

It was DeRozan’s franchise-

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Ellis’ test impressive at Combine

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University senior forward Perry Ellis had the fourth lowest body fat of all players tested Wednesday at the 2016 NBA Combine in Chicago as reported by NBA.com.

The 6-foot-8 Wichita native has 4.60 percent body fat. Oregon State’s Gary Payton II led the way at 3.95 percent, followed by North Carolina’s Marcus Paige (4.30) and North Carolina State’s Cat Barber (4.50).

KU freshman Cheick Diallo was measured to

have a 7-foot-41⁄2 wingspan, second longest of all players at the Combine. China’s Zhou Qi had a wingspan of 7-73⁄4.

Vanderbilt’s Damian Jones had third longest at 7-33⁄4, and Purdue’s Caleb Swanigan checked in at fourth at 7-31⁄2.

The complete NBA measurements and testing results have not yet been released. About 70 players are at the Combine for testing. l

Selden’s No. 7: KU’s Wayne Selden Jr. is listed as the seventh-best shooting guard in the draft by NBA.com’s David Aldridge. Aldridge

has Selden being selected “late first round.”

The top shooting guard in the draft is Oklahoma senior Buddy Hield, followed

by Denzel Valentine, Timothe Luwaru, Malik Beasley, Furkan Korkmaz and Patrick McCaw. Of Selden, one NBA Eastern Conference scout told Aldridge: “His shot is still kind of all over the place. I thought he had gotten a little more accurate.”

Another scout said of Selden: “He tapered off as the season went on but when he gets to our level and can commit to being a 3-and-D player, he’s got great size. He’s

tough. He’ll fill a spot on the bench fairly well.”

Aldridge noted that Selden “raised his draft stock this year by shooting almost 40 percent behind the arc. The secondteam All-Big 12 selection now has to show it wasn’t a one-year fluke.” l

Honorable mention: Ellis is listed as honorable mention on the list of top power forward prospects

by NBA expert Aldridge.

He was the 12th power forward listed overall.

Diallo was grouped in the “some scouts like” category by Aldridge.

“He (Ellis) has become something of a specialty

player,” one scout told Aldridge. “Perry’s shown that he can shoot the three so that helps him a little bit. It depends on the staff and the coaches and what they want from him. I think people are going to see he may be able to become a Danny Green type — hit a spotup three and be able to guard a three.”

Another scout said: “What he is is just solid.

You know what you’re going to get every day.

There’s a beauty in that to coaches. Year after year he’s consistent to what he does well. The game getting smaller is helpful to him.”

l

Off to the pros: Iowa State has lost Australian junior college power forward Emmanuel Malou to the NBA Draft. ISU announced that the incoming 6-9 forward will bypass his college eligibility for the pros. He sat out the 2015-16 season concentrating solely on academics.

“I know that it is going to require a huge amount of work, but I am motivated and excited for the challenges that lie ahead,” Malou told the AP on Wednesday. “I would like to thank all the staff at Iowa State for all that they have done for me.”

return for Brewer “no matter what” as a way to throw a different look at the heart of Free State’s order.

“It just … It didn’t work,” the coach said of the scheme.

Upon Brewer’s return, FSHS kept the rally going after the LHS sophomore struck out Patton for out No. 2. Senior Peyton Brown ducked into a hit by pitch, plating the go-ahead run. Then senior Hailey Jump came

through with an RBI single to left field, and a throwing error allowed another run to score, giving Free State a 5-2 advantage.

“I feel that I messed it up,” Tarbutton said of putting Brewer and the Lions in such a difficult spot. “As I told them, I’m a coach, too, and I’m definitely not mistakefree.”

Patton said the Firebirds only needed a spark.

“It is typical for us to just take off once we get in a groove,” the pitcher said, “so that’s really nice to know we can do that.”

Byers said Patton re-

sponded well after FSHS fell behind early.

“I think she knew the defense was really solid today, and she knew we were backing her up, and nothing else was gonna happen,” the senior third baseman said after Patton struck out six, scattered nine hits and walked three in a complete-game victory.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Nats’ Scherzer fans 20 The Associated Press

Interleague Nationals 3, Tigers 2 Washington — Max Scherzer struck out 20 batters, matching the major-league record for a nine-inning game as he pitched Washington past Detroit on Wednesday night.

Scherzer (4-2) had a chance to break the mark when James McCann stepped to the plate with two outs in the ninth inning. McCann, who whiffed his previous three times up, grounded to third for the final out.

The astounding performance came in Scherzer’s first outing against the Tigers, his former team, and their ace, Jordan Zimmerman (5-2).

Scherzer, who pitched two no-hitters last season and struck out 17 in the second one, joined Roger Clemens (twice), Kerry Wood and Randy Johnson as the only big-league pitchers to compile 20 strikeouts in nine innings.

on Tuesday, and it paid off, setting himself up with easy putts.

“I hadn’t been playing well so it was a good confidence boost,” Berquist said.

Free State sophomores Tate Steele and Will Cook followed by shooting 81s. Cook took eighth in the league and Steele placed ninth.

The Firebirds, who are without senior Jack Flynn because of disciplinary reasons, placed third in the league for the second straight season. After winning the first leg of the league, the Firebirds know they are capable of playing with the top teams. They shot a 314 on Wednesday, 20 strokes back from SM East.

“That’s a pretty good score today,” Law said. “I think I need to not go out on the course and watch them sometimes because I watched us throw away a lot of shots. That’s something that we can’t afford to do on Monday when you’re going into a regional.”

Cole Brungardt, who shot a season-best 76. His top two rounds this season are both at Eagle Bend.

Brungardt, who was disappointed with his round on Monday with an 85, tied for 10th in the league. The Lions took seventh in the league’s team standings.

“He’s worked really hard,” LHS coach Dirk Wedd said of Brungardt.

“He’s a junior and he’s taken some responsibility. That’s a positive.”

Behind Brungardt, Braxton Olson and Thomas Taber both shot an 84. Dawson Dykes and Garrett Wildeman followed with an 85.

It was the best round of the season for Taber by five strokes.

“It’s very encouraging,” Taber said. “It just shows how much I’ve improved this year. I know I can do better still.”

Wedd added: “We left a lot of strokes out there.

We didn’t play as well as we wanted to obviously.

But we’ve got a practice round tomorrow and then we’ve got regionals. We’re still searching for that one round where everybody hits at the same time.”

Both schools will play in regionals at 9 a.m.

Monday at Brookridge Country Club in Prairie Village.
