ore than 4,500 members of the Kansas University class of 2016 are expected to participate in KU’s 144th Commencement Sunday at Memorial Stadium.

The tradition-heavy ceremony kicks off at

10:30 a.m., when degree candidates begin their processional through KU’s campanile, down the hill and into Memorial Stadium. The ceremony is expected to last about two hours.

KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little will present the only speech planned for this year’s

commencement, according to KU spokeswoman Erinn Barcomb-Peterson.

The chancellor also will present two honorary degrees, both to KU graduates.

Receiving a Doctor of Science degree will be Brian McClendon, an engineer who co-founded Google Earth and now works for Uber, for outstanding

contributions to the fields of electrical engineering.

Receiving a Doctor of Arts degree will be Terry Evans, a visual artist renowned for her photography of the Great Plains, for outstanding contributions to the fields of photography and visual arts.

As city leaders start the process of determining Lawrence’s 2017 budget, “belt-tightening” will be part of their discussions, City Manager Tom Markus said.

At a public meeting Thursday night, residents were asked to place stickers next to 21 city services, indicating whether they wanted each service to receive lessened, equal or more funding than it has in the past. Markus said maybe the choice should’ve Markus been which services residents wanted to keep at the same funding level and which should be cut the most and least.

“I don’t think there’s any way around it,” he said.

Ballard draws GOP challenger

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Michael Lindsey, a selfdescribed moderate Republican, filed this week to run against Democratic Rep. Barbara Ballard in the 44th district of west Lawrence.

Lindsey, 70, a retired AT&T employee, said he believes a Republican in the Legislature would have more ability to reverse the course of some of Gov. Sam Brownback’s policies.

“Since it’s a Republican-dominated Legislature, it would be better to work through the party in power,” he said.

“I’ve been a registered Republican all my life, and my family is strong Republican. I don’t feel

that the current GOP represents the party that I belong to, and I refuse to be pushed out by being considered moderate. I call it reasonable.

The party has gone too far to the right.”

Ballard was first elected to the Legislature in 1992 and is seeking her 13th term in office. She is currently the ranking Democrat on the Social Services Budget Committee and the KanCare oversight committee. She

Referencing the property tax lid that goes into effect in 2017, Markus said: “The state is restricting revenues, and in the same time period it’s also created unfunded mandates.”

One of those mandates mentioned in the discussion Wednesday was the new state requirement to outfit public buildings with heightened security measures — costing potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars per building — or allow concealed weapons in them.

A dozen residents participated in the input session, which was also attended by all of the city commissioners, the city finance director and other staff.

On large pieces of paper taped to the wall at the front of the room, most indicated they wanted more funding for: the Lawrence Public Library, bicycle and pedestrian improvements, mental health services, arts and culture, social services, public transportation, street maintenance, parks and recreation, affordable housing and police.

Lawrence resident KT Walsh said her vote to prioritize mental health services was because of the push for a new crisis intervention center in Douglas County.

Melinda Henderson, another participant, asked to prioritize transportation funding in order to improve routes and establish a new central transfer hub.

One participant asked for more money for better code enforcement, and another wanted more library funds, saying, “It’s the one thing in the community that unites us all.”

“Men and women are biologically different,” she said. “I don’t think we should become detached from reality.”

Conservative Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration is pursuing the change amid scrutiny of a new law in North Carolina requiring transgender people to use public bathrooms, showers and changing rooms that correspond to the sex on their birth certificate. The U.S. Justice Department and the state’s governor sued each other this week.

Brownback was a strong supporter of the state’s now-invalidated ban on same-sex marriage. Also, in February 2015, he rescinded

a Democratic predecessor’s executive order banning anti-LGBT discrimination in hiring and employment in much of state government.

Health department officials contend the issue about birth certificates has arisen because of a 2002 state Supreme Court decision.

The court ruled on the legality of a transgender woman’s 1998 marriage to a man in Leavenworth County, in a dispute over the man’s estate after his death. The court said the marriage wasn’t legal under the state’s same-sex marriage ban because she’d been born male and remained male “for the purposes of marriage.”

The health department’s proposed changes would eliminate a regulation allowing transgender people to update the gender listed on their birth records by providing “a medical certificate” documenting “a physiological

or anatomical change.”

“It’s out of compliance with Kansas law, and these changes will bring the regulations into compliance,” said department spokeswoman Cassie Sparks.

Christian said Kansas has not appeared to be following the existing regulation because of the 2002 court decision. In February, Stephanie Mott, a transgender Topeka woman, filed a state-court lawsuit against the department for not changing her birth certificate.

Pedro Irigonegaray, a Topeka attorney representing Mott in her lawsuit, said the health department’s proposal reflects only the Brownback administration’s “bigotry.”

“If this is passed, there will be litigation challenging its constitutionality,” he said after the hearing.

Mott predicted during Thursday’s hearing that the regulatory changes will cause more transgender youth to attempt suicide because the state will be rejecting their identities and preventing them from having authentic lives.

Topeka — Recent funding cuts for public universities prompted Moody’s Investors Service to lower its outlook to “negative” for three state universities.

The international bond rating firm said the 3 percent budget cut that Gov. Sam Brownback ordered earlier this year, plus the additional 3 percent cut proposed for next year, “will challenge university budgets as the state deals with its

own fiscal issues.”

Kansas University in Lawrence already had a negative outlook attached to its Aa2 rating.

On Wednesday, Moody’s also put the negative outlook on bonds issued by Kansas State University, which is also rated Aa2; Wichita State University, which is rated Aa3; and Pittsburg State University, which is A1.

Lawrence schools superintendent receives leadership award Lawrence schools Superintendent Rick Doll has been named the recipient of an award from Kansas State University’s College of Education.

The Dan and Cheryl Yunk Excellence in Educational Administration Award honors school administrators for their expertise and impact, according to a KSU news release.

The award was established in honor of the Yunks and recognizes the importance of educational administrators in establishing environments that promote student learning.

Throughout their careers, the Yunks were teachers and administrators in Doll the Manhattan-Ogden School District.

Doll earned his bachelor’s degree in history at McPherson College and a master’s degree and a doctorate in educational administration from Kansas State University. Doll began his position as superintendent of Lawrence public schools in 2009 and will resign at the end of June. Doll announced in November that he had accepted a full-time position as associate professor and executive director of the Kansas Educational Leadership Institute at Kansas State University.

Kansas Food Truck Festival rakes in the dough for Just Food The 2016 Kansas Food Truck Festival was the most profitable event in the history of Douglas County food bank Just Food, raising a total of $41,000.

The third annual event, held on May 7 in the Warehouse Arts District, drew 3,800 attendees and hosted 26 food trucks. The amount of money raised this year was nearly double last year’s $22,000 take, according to a news release from the organization.

“We have seen a 15 percent increase in the number of people who are in need of food assistance in the past year, so this revenue will go a long way in keeping up with demand, especially over the busy summer months,” Just Food Executive Director Elizabeth Keever said in the release.

Funds raised will help provide meals for the nearly 12,000 Douglas County residents Just Food serves each year, according to the release.

Letter carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive set for this Saturday Donating food to those in need is as easy as leaving a bag at your mailbox this weekend.

The Douglas County food bank Just Food is partnering with the National Association of Letter Carriers and the National Rural Letter Carriers’ Association for the annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive this Saturday.

Letter carriers will provide residents with bags this week, which residents can fill with nonperishable food items and leave next to the mailbox for pickup on Saturday. Most-needed items include boxed cereal, canned fruit, canned meat, peanut butter, and tomato products.

According to a news release, last year’s food drive collected 20,000 pounds of food. It is the nation’s largest single-day drive, according to the release, and in 2015 it collected 70.6 million pounds of food nationwide.

More than 19,000 people in Douglas County need food assistance, according to the release. All food collected in this drive will be distributed locally.

Man accused of killing 5 will stand trial; Mo. prosecutors will seek death penalty Montgomery City, Mo. (ap) — A Mexican national suspected of killing five men in a two-state crime rampage will stand trial in Missouri, a judge ruled Thursday.

Pablo Antonio Serrano-Vitorino, 40, is accused of killing a Kansas City, Kan., neighbor and three other men at the neighbor’s home on March 7, then going about 170 miles into Missouri and killing Randy Nordman in New Florence, about 80 miles west of St. Louis, the following day.

Four law enforcement officials, a medical examiner and a coroner testified at a preliminary hearing in Montgomery County, where Serrano-Vitorino is charged with first-degree murder, burglary and armed criminal action in Nordman’s death. Associate Circuit Judge Kelly Broniec ruled after the hearing that there was enough evidence to move forward with a trial. Arraignment was scheduled for June 1.

Missouri prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.

Serrano-Vitorino also is charged with four counts of first-degree murder in Kansas. It isn’t clear whether Kansas prosecutors will also seek the death penalty.

the House and Senate where conservatives — including many strong allies of Brownback — hold solid control.

“This poll was not shocking to me, or probably anyone in Kansas right now because of the effects his policies have had on the state,” said Kansas Democratic Party executive director Kerry Gooch. “Definitely we plan on holding all of the Republican incumbents responsible for what the governor has done. This will play big time into the elections.”

But Republicans say they’ve heard that before, noting that Brownback had high disapproval ratings going into the 2014 elections. He still won

re-election that year, albeit with slightly less than 50 percent of the vote, and Republicans picked up five seats in the Kansas House.

“I don’t think it’ll affect much at all,” said Clay Barker, executive director of the Kansas Republican Party. “I don’t think a lot of voters link the governor with legislative races.”

Brownback spokeswoman Eileen Hawley put it more bluntly: “For nearly 20 years and five statewide elections, the media have been proven wrong on this issue,” she said.

“Despite the continuing media drumbeat, Kansans continue to support Gov. Brownback’s

conservative policies, including work requirements for people on welfare, the right to life of the unborn, the right of law-abiding citizens to bear arms, lower taxes and less government.”

Barker acknowledged,

though, that the low polling numbers might mean Brownback will be less visible on the campaign trail this year as GOP candidates, especially those in vulnerable districts, try to make the campaign about themselves, and not the governor.

“The governor realizes he’s unpopular,” he said.

“He will do what the candidates want him to.

If they want him to help with a fundraiser or contact big donors, he’ll do it. It’s not going to hurt his ego. He knew this was going to be tough.”

Library receives grant for ‘Big Read’ The Lawrence Public Library, in partnership with Kansas University’s Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and KU Libraries, has received a $14,000 grant that will allow Lawrence to host the National Endowment for the Arts’ Big Read.

Slated for September 2016 through June 2017, the Big Read project is managed by Arts Midwest and offers grants that “support innovative community reading programs designed around a single book,” according to the Lawrence Public Library’s news release. The library is one of 77 organizations

nationwide to receive a grant for the Big Read, which in Lawrence will focus on Julia Alvarez’s “In the Time of the Butterflies.”

“The library is delighted and honored to earn a NEA Big Read grant for this wonderful program,” Kristin Soper, events coordinator at Lawrence Public Library, said in the news release. “The access to fantastic, bi­lingual resources will allow for in­-depth study and discussion surrounding Julia Alvarez’s classic book. The grant will enable us to provide programming that we otherwise would not be able

to afford.”

As part of the Big Read, the library will partner with KU’s Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and KU Libraries to plan and host a programming series designed to provide context about Dominican culture and history, and to engage the Lawrence community in discussions around the themes of “In the Time of the Butterflies.” The 1994 novel is a fictional account of the real-life political martyrs, the Mirabal sisters, who spoke out against Rafael Trujillo’s dictatorship in the mid-20th-century Dominican Republic.

“We are thrilled to partner with the Lawrence Public Library and KU Libraries to bring the Big Read to Lawrence,” said Danika Swanson, Outreach and Project Coordinator for KU’s Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, in the news release. “We are excited to contribute our center’s resources and the expertise of our faculty and staff connected to the Dominican Republic, the Caribbean, and beyond to help create culturally relevant and bilingual programs that will reach new and diverse audiences.”

Kansas justice warns against being swept up by rhetoric Topeka (ap) — Kansas Supreme Court justices who have come under fire for recent decisions have begun delicately campaigning amid calls for their removal.

A day after the high court heard arguments in a school finance case, Justice Marla Luckert spoke Wednesday at the YWCA Network Lunch in Topeka, The Topeka CapitalJournal reported. Luckert was careful to avoid details of cases, instead defending the need for a

fair and impartial judiciary and stressing that she looks to the Constitution, not her personal opinion, when ruling.

In the school finance case, justices will soon decide whether legislation passed this spring provides equitable funding among schools. If the court says “no,” lawmakers may have to return this summer.

The case has angered lawmakers and brought calls for voters to toss out the justices, most of whom

are up for retention votes on the November ballot.

Justices can be removed if a majority of voters opt not to retain them; a Kansas justice has never failed to be retained.

But the justices have faced ire from conservatives over other issues aside from education, such as decisions related to the separation of church and state and abortion.

Mary Kay Culp, the director of the anti-abortion group Kansans for Life, said “it is not just our right,

Moody’s said. “However, declining numbers of in-state high school students and aggressive regional competition are also applying pressure on tuition revenue, the largest source of revenue for all Kansas public universities.”

“Favorably, Kansas public universities have historically maintained moderate leverage, with capital support coming from the state,” the firm said. “While capital support has waned in recent years, leverage levels are expected to remain manageable. Operating cash flow stress tested for a 5 percent reduction in state funding indicates still sound debt service coverage for all.”

— Moody’s Investors Service David Jacobson explained that the firm’s highest rating is Aaa, which denotes virtually no risk to a bondholder. The next highest is Aa1, then Aa2 and Aa3.

“That means high quality bonds, with very low credit risk,” he said.

“That’s our opinion of what the risk is to the bondholders of being repaid in full, on time, with interest.”

The A1 and A2 ratings, he said, represent “upper medium-grade” credit risk. “It’s not as high quality as the others, but still a solid rating.”

The outlooks attached

to those ratings represent an opinion about the likely rating direction of an institution’s rating over the medium term.

Moody’s has four outlook ratings: positive, negative, stable and developing.

Washburn University, a municipal university in Topeka, and Fort Hays State University are both rated A1 with stable outlooks. The lowest-rated university in Kansas is Emporia State University, which is A2 with a stable outlook.

The ratings and outlooks are used by investment firms that purchase bonds

Commissioners denied the rezoning request because they said the I-3 industrial zoning designation would allow for all sorts of other industrial uses on the property in the future.

County Commissioner Jim Flory suggested that the commission ask the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission to reconsider the project without the zoning change, but rather allow the recycling facility by

granting it a conditional use permit.

Commissioners Mike Gaughan and Nancy Thellman did not support the action, saying the proposed use was not compatible with a soccer complex that plans to open near the site, a nearby duck conservatory, or a ski lake that is nearby.

Commissioners, however, did approve a 10year conditional use permit for a borrow pit

Luckert, acknowledging the fury sometimes directed at the justices, harkened back to the late 1960s and the unsuccessful movement to impeach U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren. The nation’s highest court issued numerous monumental decisions during his tenure, including Brown v. Board of Education. in order to determine the interest rates they change on those debts. Lower ratings and negative outlooks tend to result in higher interest rates.

The report noted that KU had total operating revenues in fiscal year 2015 of $1.16 billion and outstanding debt of about $846 million.

That debt figure does not include the $327 million in bonds issued in December for its Central District development project. State appropriations account for 21.1 percent of KU’s total funding.

Those bonds are actually the debt of a thirdparty nonprofit corporation that KU established for the project. KU will make lease-purchase payments to the corporation, and those payments will be used to repay the bonds.

on the site. The borrow pit is used by construction firms that need to acquire dirt for a project.

The borrow pit did not require any industrial zoning to operate.

Commissioners also routinely approved the renewals of two conditional use permits for other projects: the Stony Point Hall event center at 1514 North 600 Road, and the Pine Family Tree Nursery at 1782 East 1500 Road.

Penn House holds fundraiser as it prepares to welcome Sun Cedar

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

The nonprofit Penn House is engaged in a crowd-sourced online fundraising campaign as it fine-tunes the services offered at its 1035 Pennsylvania St. site and prepares to welcome a woodworking company that employs homeless and formerly incarcerated workers.

Christie Dobson, executive director of Ballard Community Services, said Penn House will be focusing on programming that gives people and families assistance in obtaining self-sufficiency.

“We think it is pretty important,” she said. “Penn House has always been a community resource for East Lawrence. We’re focusing on programming that will really help people get back on their feet.”

Money raised will be used for painting walls, installing new carpeting, replacing sheetrock and other general renovations of the building that was constructed during a oneweekend volunteer effort in the 1970s.

A big piece of the renovations and the

and sprucing up space at Penn House for his shop.

Dobson said Sun Cedar was a good fit for Penn House because of the other programs offered there. The Penn House clothes closet is restructured to focus on clothes that men and women could wear to work, and other programs will help them with resumes and other job-hunting needs, she said.

Also offered at Penn House are a senior commodity program, rental and utility assistance and a mobile food pantry, said Wayne Briggs, Penn House human services program manager.

The online donation site can be found at gofundme.com/cedarhouse.

As of Thursday, the site scorecard indicates 93 donors have contributed $16,285 in the drive’s first 27 days. The drive, which will end Sunday, has a goal of $75,000. But those who miss that deadline needn’t worry. Dobson said donors can continue to donate via ballardcenter.org through August.

fundraising campaign is the move of Sun Cedar from its west Lawrence location into Penn House, Dobson said.

Longtime woodworker Shine Adams started Sun Cedar two years ago as a way to help the homeless and those with criminal records get back on their feet. The shop began with the production of aromatic cedar-tree shaped hanging ornaments, but has added shoe boxes, state-shaped cutouts and other product lines.

Adams said he was able to employ as many as 15 people last year to complete a big order, but would move into Penn House with three employees.

It is his hope the move to the new location in about a month would allow Sun Cedar to be more stable and grow, Adams said.

As he hires others, many through the Douglas County Jail’s re-entry program, to fill some of the supervisory and administrative jobs that currently occupy his time, he will devote more time to marketing the shop’s products, Adams said.

Currently, he is spending his evenings renovating

Hillcrest Elementary teachers receive Teamwork Award Fourth-grade teachers at Hillcrest Elementary School have been named the recipients of the Lawrence school district’s Teamwork Award, the district announced.

Lawrence schools Superintendent Rick Doll presented the award to teachers Wednesday. The award includes $1,000 to support fourth-grade activities, provided by Education Achievement Partner Truity Credit Union.

The annual award honors teachers and resource staff who exhibit several characteristics, including those who work as a team to meet a goal, build effective collaborative relationships and promote communication.

“These dedicated teachers demonstrate all the principles of a strong professional learning community,” Hillcrest Principal Tammy Becker said in a news release. “Each day

In addition to recognizing the team, Truity Credit Union, in collaboration with the district, announced that the annual award will be renamed the Rick Doll Teamwork Award in honor of Doll’s service to the district.

Doll began his position as superintendent in 2009 and will resign at the end of June.

Deal with squabbling mom, fiancee individually Dear Annie: I’d like to fix the relationship between my fiancee and my mother before things get out of hand.

My fiancee, “Beth,’’ fixates on instances where she feels my mother has slighted her. For example, Beth calls me by a shortened version of my name, a nickname my mother hates and has ranted on about. My mother has also raved about the many talents and successes of the friends I had in high school (a decade ago) while only complimenting Beth on how “cute’’ she is (something that annoys Beth to no end.)

I either don’t recognize these issues in the moment, or I’m not present when they happen. I have told my mother how much Beth means to me and asked her di-

rectly whether there is something she doesn’t like about her, but it’s made no difference.

Mom has a tendency to run at the mouth and I’m not convinced she thinks about how her words impact those around her. I can understand why Beth feels animosity from Mom. Both my family and my fiancee are extremely important to me. Beth gets along with the rest of my fam-

Familiar ‘Race’ ends 28th season “The Amazing Race” (7 p.m., CBS, TV-PG) concludes its 28th season as the last three teams make their way from China to California. Not unlike the Olympics or professional sports coverage, “Race” is an impressive production fraught with daunting logistical hurdles. It’s the most Emmy-recognized reality series and deservedly so.

At the same time, much like sports coverage, it’s a combination of the brand-new and the utterly familiar — over and over again.

“Race” arrived on CBS in 2001, a time when many feared that reality shows were taking over television. “Race” is a very mature show, reflecting the place of reality fare on network television. All four networks use the genre to fill their schedules, but most of those series (ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars”; NBC’s “Biggest Loser”; Fox’s “Hell’s Kitchen”; even the CW’s “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”) are at least a decade old.

And, given constant rotation, seem older. The survival rate of new network reality series (remember last summer’s “Knock Knock Live” or “I Wanna Marry ‘Harry”’ from the summer before?) is gruesomely low. And deservedly so.

O It’s time for drastic measures on the season seven finale of “The Vampire Diaries” (7 p.m., CW, TV-14). “Diaries” reflects a TV wave that has not yet crested. The number of network series featuring the supernatural, science-fiction superheroes, comic book adaptations and fantasy continues to grow. Call it the Comic-Con effect. Seven out of 10 prime-time hours offered by the CW this week fall into these categories, and that doesn’t include the already concluded “iZombie,” arguably the cleverest of the lot.

O “Hawaii Five-0” (8 p.m., and 9 p.m., CBS, TV-14) wraps up its sixth season with a twopart finale. Never a huge hit, “Hawaii” represents that rarest of birds, the TV show based on an old, familiar series that actually survived its first season. From “The Love Boat: The Next Wave,” to “Melrose Place” and “Charlie’s Angels,” reboots have been seen as desecrations, savaged by critics and ignored by network viewers. As for cable (“Dallas”) and streaming (“Fuller House”) — they’re another story.

Tonight’s other highlights

O An RV catches fire on

“Caught on Camera With Nick Cannon” (7 p.m., NBC, TV-PG).

plain that she raised you well, so she should trust your choice in a life partner. Add that getting along with Beth means having another person to love, and more access to you and future grandchildren.

Then speak to Beth.

Tell her that Mom is anxious, and fearful that she is losing her son. She needs reassurance, tolerance and patience. Make sure Beth understands that you love Mom and aren’t going to cut ties. But if the two of them refuse to accept one another, there is nothing wrong with visiting Mom on your own and letting Beth stay home.

Lawrence Journal-World l LJWorld.com l Friday, May 13, 2016

EDITORIALS

Looking ahead City officials are right to look into the future and be specific about their expectations for the Alvamar redevelopment project.

A

lthough neighboring residents want the redevelopment of the Alvamar Country Club and Golf Course to succeed, they also understandably see the need to make sure their interests are protected.

Now, at the beginning of the project, is the right time to make sure those protections are in place.

On Tuesday, Lawrence city commissioners approved a preliminary development plan that incorporated a number of significant changes from the original plans for the property. However, they withheld approval of a rezoning request that would allow the addition of a professional office building on the property and instead sent that request to the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission for further review.

City commissioners want the planning commission to consider the appropriateness of the residential-office zoning, as well as ways to place limits on that usage if it is approved.

City commissioners also hope to identify a way to ensure that the area currently being used as a golf course will continue to be a golf course. That issue is of particular importance to residents whose property is adjacent to the course.

One of those residents, former city commissioner and Kansas insurance commissioner Sandy Praeger, urged the commission on Tuesday to be aware of the precedent it might set by allowing residential-office zoning on the property. Such a use might work, she said, “if it’s locked in,” but there is some concern it would open the door to other similar development. She also called commissioners’ attention to land that currently is part of the golf course but isn’t included in the redevelopment plan and urged them to make sure that space remains open. It’s important to look into the future, she said, because “right now is when you make sure the future doesn’t turn out bad.”

Even though future developments would have to go through the city planning process, Commissioner Lisa Larsen correctly noted that “projects like this have a tendency to open that door up if you’re not careful.”

That’s why it’s important for commissioners to be “careful” now. If they approve residential-office zoning on this property without explicit restrictions, it would be all too easy for the commission’s intentions to be misrepresented when someone seeks approval for future changes.

As Praeger noted, Alvamar is “a real gem.” The successful redevelopment of this area benefits not only the developers and the neighbors, but the entire community. It’s an important project, and commissioners are right to make sure all the details get “locked in.”

Intelligence chief assesses U.S. role Washington — Early in his tenure as director of national intelligence, James Clapper could sometimes be heard complaining “I’m too old for this (expletive)!” He has now served almost six years as America’s top intelligence official, and when I asked him this week how much longer he would be in harness, he consulted his calendar and answered with relief, “265 days!”

Clapper, 75, has worked in intelligence for 53 years, starting when he joined the Air Force in 1963. He’s a crusty, sometimes cranky veteran of the ingrown spy world, and he has a perspective that’s probably unmatched in Washington.

He offered some surprisingly candid comments — starting with a frank endorsement of President Obama’s view that the U.S. can’t unilaterally fix the Middle East.

Given Clapper’s view that intelligence services must cooperate against terrorism, a small breakthrough seems to have taken place in midApril when Clapper met with some European intelligence chiefs near Ramstein Air Base in Germany to discuss better sharing of intelligence. The meeting was requested by the White House but it hasn’t been publicized.

“We are on the same page, and we should do everything we can to improve intelligence coordination and information sharing, within the limits of our legal framework,” said Peter Wittig, German ambassador to Washing-

The terrorist threat has shadowed Clapper’s tenure.

He admitted in a September 2014 interview that the U.S. had “underestimated” the Islamic State. He isn’t making that mistake now.

He says the U.S. is slowly “degrading” the extremists, but probably won’t capture the Islamic State’s key Iraqi stronghold this year, and faces a long-term struggle that will last “decades.”

“They’ve lost a lot of territory,” he told me Monday.

“We’re killing a lot of their fighters. We will retake Mosul, but it will take a long time, and be very messy. I don’t see that happening in this administration.”

contractor Edward Snowden.

“We’ve been very conservative in the damage assessment. Overall, there’s a lot,” Clapper said, noting that the Snowden disclosures made terror groups “very security conscious” and speeded the move to unbreakable encryption of data. And he said the Snowden revelations may not have ended: “The assumption is that there are a lot more documents out there in escrow (to be revealed) at a time of his choosing.”

Clapper had just returned from a trip to Asia, where he said he’s had “tense exchanges” with Chinese officials about their militarization of the South China Sea. He predicted that China would declare an “air defense identification zone” soon in that area, and said “they’re already moving in that direction,” Asked what he had achieved in his six years as director of national intelligence, Clapper cited his basic mission of coordinating the 17 agencies that work under him. “The reason this position was created was to provide integration in the intelligence community.

We’re better than we were.”

After a career in the spy world, Clapper argues that intelligence issues are basically simple, it’s the politics surrounding them that are complicated. “I can’t wait to get back to simplicity,” he says, his eye on that calendar.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for May 13, 1916: years “The people of ago Lawrence and IN 1916 the city officials of Lawrence were surprised this morning when a gang of twenty workmen started tearing up the pavement along the middle of the 600 block on Massachusetts street.

They were preparing a way for the interurban track which will be laid from the present car line at Seventh street to the interurban track which will cross the bridge. No notice that the work was to be started today was given to the city officials.”

Trump should release tax returns Bloomberg View

Even after the extremists are defeated in Iraq and Syria, the problem will persist. “We’ll be in a perpetual state of suppression for a long time,” he warned.

“I don’t have an answer,” Clapper said frankly. “The U.S. can’t fix it. The fundamental issues they have — the large population bulge of disaffected young males, ungoverned spaces, economic challenges, and the availability of weapons — won’t go away for a long time.” He said at another point: “Somehow the expectation is that we can find the silver needle, and we’ll create ‘the city on a hill.’” That’s not realistic, he cautioned, because the problem is so complex.

I asked Clapper whether he shared Obama’s view, as expressed in Jeffrey Goldberg’s article in The Atlantic, that America doesn’t need the Middle East economically as it once did, that it can’t solve the region’s problems and that, in trying, the U.S. would harm its interests elsewhere. “I’m there,” says Clapper, endorsing Obama’s basic pessimism. But he explained: “I don’t think the U.S. can just leave town. Things happen around the world when U.S. leadership is absent.

We have to be present — to facilitate, broker, and sometimes provide the force.”

Clapper said the U.S. still can’t be certain how much harm was done to intelligence collection by the revelations of disaffected NSA

In January, Donald Trump had this to say when he was asked about whether he would release his tax returns: “I have very big returns, as you know, and I have everything all approved and very beautiful and we’ll be working that over in the next period of time.”

Yet he held off on releasing his returns. And on Tuesday night, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee seemed to close the door for good on the matter. He told the Associated Press that he wouldn’t release his returns prior to the November elections unless what he described as Internal Revenue Service audit of his finances was complete.

“There’s nothing to learn from them,” Trump said of his tax returns.

That prompted Mitt Romney to take Trump to task late Wednesday afternoon.

“It is disqualifying for a modernday presidential nominee to refuse to release tax returns to the voters, especially one who has not been subject to public scrutiny in either military or public service,” wrote the former GOP presidential nominee in a Facebook post. “While not a likely circumstance, the potential for hidden inappropriate associations with foreign entities, criminal organizations, or other unsavory groups is simply too great a risk to ignore for someone who is seeking to become commander-in-chief.”

Trump then stepped up with a sur-

prise of his own and reversed course again last night, telling Fox News that he would, indeed, release his taxes before the elections. “I’ll release. Hopefully before the election I’ll release,” he said. “And I’d like to release.”

For anyone who had whiplash after all of this, Trump offered some comfort by reaffirming that whenever he might release his returns, there wouldn’t be anything of value to be discovered there anyway.

“You learn very little from a tax return,” he told Fox News.

Actually, as someone who saw Trump’s federal tax returns about a decade ago as part of a legal action in which he sued me for libel (the suit was later dismissed), I think there probably are some things to be learned from them.

Despite Trump’s statements to the contrary, here are some general questions that a full release of at least several years of his tax returns might usefully answer: l Income: Trump has made the size of his fortune a centerpiece of his presidential campaign, implying that it’s a measure of his success as a businessman. He has also correctly noted that the income shown on his tax returns isn’t a reflection of his total wealth. Even so, income is a basis for assessing some of the foundations of any individual’s wealth — and would certainly reflect the financial wherewithal of the businesses in which Trump is involved. l Business activities: Trump has long claimed that his company, the Trump Organization, employs thousands of people.

He has also criticized Fortune 500 com-

panies for operating businesses overseas at the expense of jobs for U.S. workers.

Trump’s returns would show how active he and his businesses are globally — and would help substantiate the actual size and scope of his operation. l Charitable giving: Trump has said that he’s a generous benefactor to a variety of causes — especially war veterans — even though it’s been hard to find concrete evidence to support the assertion. Other examples of major philanthropic largess from Trump have also been elusive. Trump could release his tax returns and put the matter to rest. l Tax planning: There’s been global attention focused on the issue of how politicians and the wealthy use tax havens and shell companies to possibly hide parts of their fortunes from authorities. If released, Trump’s returns would make clear whether or not he used such vehicles. l Transparency and accountability: Trump is seeking the most powerful office in the world. Some of the potential conflicts of interest or financial pressures that may arise if he reaches the White House would get an early airing in a release of his tax returns.

For the last 40 years, presidential candidates have released their returns.

Trump, of course, has portrayed himself as the un-candidate, the guy who bucks convention. But disclosing tax returns is a valuable political tradition that’s well worth preserving.

Paul Ryan and Donald Trump pledged Thursday to work together to defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton in the general election, though the Republican House speaker stopped short of formally endorsing his party’s presumptive presidential nominee.

“The United States cannot afford another four years of the Obama White House, which is what Hillary Clinton represents,” Ryan and Trump said in a joint statement after their private meeting Thursday. “That is why it’s critical that Republicans unite around our shared principles, advance a conservative agenda and do all we can to win this fall.”

Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus, who sat in on the Trump-Ryan summit, tweeted that “the meeting was great. It was a very positive step toward party unity.”

Trump and Ryan had struck conciliatory notes before the meeting, which was devoted to disputes over issues such as free trade, immigration, taxes and entitlement programs. Both said they seek Republican unity before an election battle against Clinton, the likely Democratic nominee.

In their joint statement, Ryan and Trump noted that this was their first meeting, “but it was a very positive step toward unification.”

Participants began planning

the meeting after Ryan said last week he was not prepared to back Trump’s presidential bid, even as the New York businessman wrapped up the GOP nomination with a series of big primary wins.

Trump had a trio of unity meetings Thursday morning on Capitol Hill. After a private discussion with Ryan and Priebus, Trump met with a larger group of House Republican leaders.

Trump’s third meeting was with a group of Senate Republicans, including Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. The Ryan-Trump statement cited Trump’s success in the Republican nomination race and said, “We are extremely proud of the fact that many millions of new voters have entered the primary system, far more than ever before in the Republican Party’s history.”

Protesters and reporters camped out in front of Republican national headquarters as Trump and Ryan met inside.

‘Bernie Bro’ behavior offends across the board Rick Hampson @rickhampson USA TODAY

They’re the unsanctioned shock troops of Bernie Sanders’ vaunted online army, digital rogues who’ve plagued Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid and embarrassed Sanders’ campaign.

Dilma Rousseff speaks Thursday in Brasilia, Brazil.

IMMEDIATE SUSPENSION

Rousseff was automatically suspended from office after a majority of Brazil’s 81 senators voted to proceed with the impeachment process. Vice President Michel Temer takes over for up to six months, pending a Senate trial that could result in Rousseff’s permanent removal. That would require approval by two-thirds of the Senate, or 54 senators. If she is found guilty, Temer would probably stay on as president until 2018, when Rousseff’s term expires. She would not be jailed but banned from seeking the presidency for eight years. No date for the trial has been set.

“Rousseff is accused of a noncriminal offense. It’s a crime of responsibility, not corruption,” said Jimena Blanco, a Brazil expert at Verisk Maplecroft, a risk consultancy.

While Rousseff awaits trial she is permitted to remain in the president’s residence but is barred from the palace, the seat of the government.

EFFECT ON OLYMPICS

The Olympic Games will open Aug. 5 in Rio de Janeiro. The International Olympic Committee said the impeachment process would not disrupt those preparations. The IOC has “entered into a very operational phase where these kinds of political issues have much less influence than at other stages of organizing the v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

White House launches effort to study of beneficial bacteria Modern life may be disturbing balance Liz Szabo

@lizszabo USA TODAY

The White House will announce an initiative Friday to kickstart research into the microbes that shape life on Earth — including those in plants, animals, water, soil and air — as part of an effort to fight disease, grow more food and even reduce the greenhouse gases fueling climate change.

The National Microbiome Initiative will bring together researchers from a variety of disciplines. Government researchers will be joined by organizations such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the University of Michigan and JDRF, formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Although most people associate bacteria with disease and decay, the vast majority of microbes actually play a beneficial or at least neutral role in human life, said Jo Handelsman, the associate director for science at the White House Office of Science

Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria (green) reside in the extracellular matrix.

and Technology Policy. Billions of years ago, she notes, it was oceandwelling bacteria that began releasing oxygen into the atmosphere, making life on land possible. “We wouldn’t be here without these bacteria,” Handelsman said. “Our health, our behavior and even our longevity are all affected by these bacteria.”

The human body is home to 10 trillion bacteria, yeast and fungi that perform a number of vital tasks, such as digesting food, synthesizing vitamins and fighting infections. Humans rely on the benign bacteria in our guts to make vitamin K, for example, a nutrient that allows blood to clot.

“Without these bacteria, we would bleed to death very quickly,” Handelsman said.

Modern life may be throwing our ancient bacteria off balance.

Changes in the human microbiome, as the collection of the body’s microbes is called, could explain increases in chronic diseases, such as asthma, allergies, obesity, diabetes and autism.

Humans have altered microbiomes through diet and the widespread use of antibiotics, which kill off good and bad bacteria, says Martin Blaser, director of New York University Langone Medical Center’s Human Microbiome Program.

MLB takes long view with virtual reality Posey, infield fielding with pitcher Johnny Cueto and jogging with World Series hero Madison Bumgarner.

The segment, the first of several this year at the ballpark’s @Cafe, is just the start of what the Giants and Major League Baseball hope is an immersive experience that revolutionizes how a game is viewed, advertisers reach fans and ballplayers learn their craft.

A disembodied voice welcomes two visitors to the San Francisco Giants’ executive offices.

It isn’t a human, but a Segwaylike bot acting as surrogate greeter for Giants’ Chief Information Officer Bill Schlough, who is remotely controlling it from his office PC. Called “Willie,” the angular contraption is mounted with an iPad, from which Schlough can be seen and heard. Willie debuted during a special event with comic book legend Stan Lee this month and could soon roam the halls of club suites at the Giants’ home, AT&T Park.

“You have seen into the future, and the future is now,” said Schlough, who has something else he wants to share.

It’s a virtual-reality system that, eventually, may radically change the way fans view a ballgame.

Welcome to the ever-evolving intersection of new tech and the grand old game of baseball, which faces increasing competition from not only the NFL but the NBA and NHL, which are also experimenting with VR. Developed with JauntVR, the Giants’ first foray — a four-minute tour of spring training in Scottsdale, Ariz. — is an impressive blend of batting practice with All-Star catcher Buster SAN FRANCISCO

Newer ballparks have taken on elements of an amusement park to draw paying customers.

JON SWARTZ, USA TODAY

“Willie,” a bot, welcomes San Francisco Giants fans to AT&T Park. It’s part of the new tech that intersects with baseball.

VR sessions.

Across the country in Boston, the Red Sox share a similar vision on VR. The team considers it vital to engage kids, the next generation of fans, in “more meaningful ways,” said Adam Grossman, the Red Sox’s chief marketing officer.

The virtual Oculus clubhouse at Fenway Park is just a start.

Like the Giants, the Sox produced a VR film at spring training, and the team plans to film another this week in Boston. A mobile truck with VR gear is traversing the region to bring the VR experience to its fan base.

“We’re in the very early days of VR,” MLB Chief Technology Offi-

cer Joe Inzerillo said. But the technology’s potential for fans and players could impact the sport as social media, mobile and streaming video have.

Baseball teams are developing attractions that are the equivalent of snagging a foul ball in the hopes of retaining and gaining the American sports fan, says Brian Reich, CEO of Thinking About Sports, a consulting firm that enriches fan engagement at sporting events.

The leisurely pace of a baseball game on a lazy summer afternoon may be idealized by traditionalists of the sport. But in an era of instant gratification and social media, younger fans need to be entertained from the first pitch until the final out.

Newer ballparks have taken on elements of an amusement park to draw paying customers and keep them interested: A carousel at Comerica Park in Detroit. The swimming pool and hot tub beyond the right-field wall at Chase Field in Phoenix. A sandlot in the bleachers at San Diego’s Petco Park. An enormous Coke bottle/ slide and mini-ballpark at AT&T Park.

VR could be the latest and most enticing toy, said Brad Griffith, CEO of online-ticketing service Gametime.

“It’s like souped-up TV, the next level of watching a game from home,” he said. “Baseball is focused on getting the Millennial demo back into its sport, and pushing the envelope on new technology is the right approach.”

The Bernie Bro is a young white man passionately committed to Sanders but not Sanders’ stated belief in political civility and gender equality.

He is, by all accounts, a small minority of Sanders’ online force of about 9 million, which populates hundreds of sites on Facebook, Reddit and other platforms.

The Bro lurks in Internet chat rooms, posts on Facebook and tweets abundantly, often anonymously or behind a fake profile.

“Look, anybody who is supporting me that is doing the sexist things is — we don’t want them.”

Bernie Sanders

Republican agent provocateurs); 2) that some are women; and 3) that many who complain about them are thin-skinned Clinton partisans.

Last month, Clinton said the Internet provides a place for bullies to say “the most vile, harassing, incredibly mean-spirited things” that they would never say to somebody’s face.

The Sanders campaign appealed to its online soldiers to keep it clean, and the candidate himself called some comments “disgusting. … We don’t want that crap. … We will do everything we can, and I think we have tried.

Look, anybody who is supporting me that is doing the sexist things is — we don’t want them.”

Last month, a pro-Clinton super PAC, Correct the Record, unveiled a campaign called “Barrier Breakers’’ designed to level the online battlefield. It’s a $1 million effort to confront anyone on social media who attacks Clinton or her supporters.

Unlike Sanders’ online enthusiasts — Bros and non-Bros — Barrier Breakers are paid staffers of the PAC. A campaign with a bureaucratic reputation and comparatively weak online support is resorting to a bureaucratic solution to buttress its digital presence. Although thousands of online attackers have been engaged, the initiative “seems late to the game,” says Stefan Becket, director of editorial policy for Mic.com, which focuses on news for Millennials. “The online landscape is so vast and has so many places. … A centralized effort is probably not going to succeed.’’

Some Sanders supporters blamed the sudden, if brief, disappearance of some popular Sanders Facebook discussion groups last month as the work of the Clinton campaign. (Facebook attributed it to a technical glitch.)

Charles Chamberlain, director of Democracy for America, a pro-Sanders group, says there’s been a net increase in online harassment since the beginning of the Clinton battlefield-leveling

attempt: “Now both campaigns are going at it.’’

Chamberlain says he’s been harassed by Clinton supporters, including “someone who looked like a nice grandmother. ... I’ve been called naïve, sexist, condescending. I don’t understand that ‘big ideas don’t work, that change is incremental.’ It’s all very schoolyardish.’’

Clinton’s nomination is virtually assured, and she faces a race against the most skilled online political campaigner of the digital age. Donald Trump, unlike Sanders, seems unlikely to tamp down his supporters’ over-exuberance.

He has 8 million readers hanging on every tweet, including occupants of every news assignment desk in the land.

Will those who flamed her turn their fire on Trump or sit on their hands?

No one will know until Sanders decides when and how to concede. If he enthusiastically endorses Clinton and energetically campaigns for her, some of his online passion will follow.

Becket says he doesn’t think Clinton will be able to co-opt Sanders’ entire online franchise, but he asks, “Who else is there for them to funnel their energy into?’’

Mirzoeff estimates that a third to a half of Sanders’ online “energy” will go to Clinton, mostly because her opponent is the feared and loathed Trump.

That comes with a caveat: that Sanders online army doesn’t conclude in the next month that Clinton’s “Barrier Breakers’’ are breaking theirs.

Chamberlain says the army will come around: “We want to make sure that we beat Donald Trump, and the vast majority will work hard to do so.”

Those who see the year’s heated online political exchanges as less than apocalyptic make two points.

First, this is politics. Dating back to Jefferson and Hamilton, “politics have always elicited strong emotions, and digital media often makes those ruptures more public,” says Benjamin Burroughs, a University of Nevada-Las Vegas professor of emerging media.

Second, this is the Internet.

“People don’t behave the same way online as they do in person,” Chamberlain says. “They’re way more vicious, whether it’s a presidential election or an Amazon review.’’

AUCTION OF GUN USED TO KILL TRAYVON QUASHED AGAIN 2nd website refuses to let Zimmerman sell infamous pistol

Gregory Korte USA TODAY

Doug Stanglin @dstanglin USA TODAY

George Zimmerman tried a second time Thursday to auction off the firearm he used to kill 17year-old Trayvon Martin in Florida in 2012, but both gunselling websites yanked the listing before bidding was to begin on what Zimmerman described as a “piece of history.”

A statement posted on the website GunBroker.com said listings are user generated, and that the company reserved the right to reject any at its discretion.

“Mr. Zimmerman never contacted anyone at GunBroker.com prior to or after the listing was created and no one at (the website) has any relationship with Zimmerman,” the company wrote in its statement.

It added, “We want no part in the listing on our web site or in any of the publicity it is receiving.”

The listing, which got more than 185,000 views, was replaced at mid-morning Thursday by a message that said, “Sorry, but the item you have requested is no longer in the system.”

Zimmerman, who identifies as Hispanic, told the Orlando Sentinel that the original site, GunBroker.com, was not “prepared for the traffic and publicity surrounding the auction of my firearm.

“It has now been placed with another auction house.”

The new listing for the Kel-Tec PF-9 9mm firearm was posted on unitedgungroup.com. That site apparently went down a few min-

utes later.

United Gun Group said in a statement Thursday night they pulled Zimmerman’s listing from the site because the auction is not in the organization’s best interest.

“Our mission is to esteem the 2nd amendment and provide a safe and secure platform for firearms enthusiasts and law-abiding citizens; our association with Mr. Zimmerman does not help us achieve that objective,” the organization wrote.

Zimmerman wrote in both listings he was “honored and humbled” to announce the sale of the weapon and set the bidding to start at $5,000. Similar firearms normally sell for around $200.

“The firearm for sale is the firearm that was used to defend my life and end the brutal attack from Trayvon Martin on 2/26/ 2012,” he wrote.

A jury found Zimmerman, who alleged that Martin was trying to bash his head on the pavement

during a struggle, not guilty of second-degree murder and manslaughter.

Tracy Martin, Trayvon’s father, issued a statement Thursday, saying a foundation in his son’s name is focusing on ending senseless gun violence and “has no comment on the actions of that person that murdered Trayvon.”

In his listing, Zimmerman claimed that the “Smithsonian Museum” in Washington, D.C., had expressed interest in buying the firearm.

However, the Smithsonian Institution said Thursday on Twitter, “We have never expressed interest in collecting George Zimmerman’s firearm, and have no plans to ever collect or display it in any museums.”

Zimmerman said he planned to use the proceeds from the sale to fight “Black Lives Matter” violence against law enforcement officers and to counter “Hillary Clinton’s anti-firearm rhetoric.”

WASHINGTON The U.S. Department of Education will tell school districts Friday that federal law requires them to allow students to use restrooms and locker rooms “consistent with their gender identity,” escalating the pressure from the Obama administration on the contentious public debate over transgender rights.

In a “dear colleague” letter to school districts first reported by The New York Times, the Department of Education maintains that requiring transgender students to use same-sex facilities violates Title IX, the 1972 law that prohibits discrimination based on sex.

The letter was provided to USA TODAY by two administration officials.

“When a school provides sex-segregated activities and facilities, transgender students must be allowed to participate in such activities and access such facilities consistent with their gender identity,” reads the guidance document.

The guidance doesn’t have the force of law, but tells schools how the Education Department intends to enforce Title IX in the future. It will be sent to all schools that receive federal funding, including 16,500 school districts, 7,000 colleges, universities and trade schools, as well as charter schools, for-profit schools, libraries, and museums.

The move comes the same week that the Justice Department and the state of North Carolina traded lawsuits over that state’s law requiring people to use public restrooms that correspond to the sex on their birth certificate.

Federal judge strikes down subsidies for Obamacare Separation of powers at issue in Republicans’ win; appeal expected Richard Wolf, Gregory Korte and Jayne O’Donnell USA TODAY

Republicans won the first round Thursday in a separation of powers battle against President Obama that once again focuses on his most prized achievement: Obamacare.

Federal district Judge Rosemary Collyer, a Republican appointee, ruled that the law did not provide for the funds insurers need to make health insurance policies under the program affordable.

While the law provides for tax credits, she said, it does not authorize an appropriation for slashing deductibles and copayments. Without those reductions from insurers, many consumers could not afford to buy insurance.

“Congress authorized reduced cost-sharing but did not appropriate monies for it,” Collyer said in her 38-page ruling. “Congress is the only source for such an appropriation, and no public money can be spent without one.”

Collyer blocked her decision from taking effect while awaiting a likely appeal from the WASHINGTON

LABOR UNIONS LAUNCH $50 MILLION SUPER PAC

— Fredreka Schouten HOUSE BLASTS TSA OFFICIAL FOR $90,000 IN BONUSES

House lawmakers blasted Transportation Security Administration officials Thursday for giving an executive $90,000 in bonuses at a time when watchdog tests revealed screeners routinely failed to find weapons at checkpoints.

TSA Administrator Peter Neffenger told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee he overhauled the policies governing bonuses and the reassignment of workers who spoke out, practices many inside and outside the agency criticized before he took office in July.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, slammed bonuses given to TSA’s assistant administrator for the office of security operations, Kelly

Hoggan, who is paid $181,500 a year. Chaffetz said Hoggan also received $90,000 in bonuses during a 13-month period that ended in November 2014.

Last year, ABC News reported TSA screeners failed to detect mock explosives or banned weapons 67 out of 70 times during testing. “Those bonuses were given to somebody who oversees a part of the operation that was in total failure,” Chaffetz said.

— Bart Jansen OBAMA WON’T CUT N.C. FUNDS OVER BATHROOM BILL

The Obama administration said Thursday it would not withhold federal funding to North Carolina as a result of its state law regulating the use of public bathrooms by transgender people and allowing discrimination against gays and lesbians.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest said North Carolina will continue to receive federal funding while the Department of Justice pursues a separate enforcement action in federal court.

On Monday, the state and federal governments exchanged lawsuits over the law, which pre-empts local gay rights ordinances and requires people to use the restroom that corresponds with their gender at birth.

administration.

Cost-sharing subsidies reduce consumers’ insurance payments — an important feature of the Affordable Care Act, because deductibles are rising. Under the law, subsidies are available to people who earn between 100% and 250% of the federal poverty level. For a family of four, that’s about $24,000 to $61,000.

The Commonwealth Fund estimated as many as 7 million people might have plans with cost-sharing reductions this year.

The ruling does not represent as big a threat to the health care law as two previous conservative challenges swatted down by the Supreme Court in 2012 and 2015.

The first would have gutted the law; the second would have elimi-

nated tax credits in many states.

“It’s a setback, and it’s a distraction … but a lot of people think the administration will win on appeal,” said Katherine Hempstead, who heads the insurance coverage team at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, a public health philanthropy.

House Speaker Paul Ryan heralded the decision as “an historic win for the Constitution. ... The executive branch is being held accountable.”

The Republican-controlled House voted to sue Obama over his executive actions in July 2014.

The health care lawsuit was initiated four months later.

Jonathan Turley, a George Washington University law professor who represented the House of Representatives in the lawsuit, called the opinion a historic ruling reaffirming Congress’ power of the purse.

“Judge Collyer’s opinion is a resounding victory not just for Congress but for our constitutional system as a whole,” he said on his blog. “We remain a system based on the principle of the separation of powers and the guarantee that no branch or person can govern alone.”

The (Appleton) Post-Crescent TOWN OF NEENAH When Kristen Schulz returned home early Monday afternoon, there was a cloud in her driveway.

It wasn’t a rain cloud, but something a little more sinister.

A dark, buzzing mass of lake flies had invaded her Town of Neenah driveway, yard and the front of her home.

The small insects, whirling around in all directions and landing everywhere in sight, had made her property look like the set of a horror film.

“Last year they weren’t nearly as bad,” said Schulz, who lives along the west shore of Lake Winnebago.

She said the insects have previously inundated her home, burrowed in light fixtures, mail, clothes and even human hair.

“You have to power wash your house on a bad year to get rid of them,” she said. They also leave a stench — and a green mess.

Lake flies swarm Wednesday in the Town of Neenah, Wis. surface. That’s when the fly emerges from the larval stage.

“As larvae and adults, they’re the bottom of the food chain, the bottom of the food pyramid,” Koehnke said. “They’re plentiful.”

Along Lake Winnebago, there can be trillions of flies. It’s intense enough for the flies to show up on radar.

As adults, lake flies usually live seven to 14 days.

But fear not: they’re good for the lake and the local ecosystem. They feed the lake’s sturgeon and perch and fill the bellies of hungry bats and birds.

“They are the main driving

force as far as energy dynamics go on the Lake Winnebago system from a fisheries standpoint,” Koehnke said. “If we don’t have lake flies, we won’t have lake sturgeon.”

Koehnke said a female fly can lay up to 10,000 eggs.

Warmer, dryer weather causes the fly to dry up at a quicker pace. Cooler weather keeps them around a bit longer.

No matter where they end up, they can leave a mess.

“There’s been years where we’ve shoveled them,” Schulz said, referring to dead flies.

“Nobody likes them, but people will brave them.”

Market value falls below Alphabet’s for second time this year Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

Apple’s epic fall on the stock market took a symbolic turn Thursday after its market value again dropped below its top rival’s.

A more than 2% fall in Apple’s stock price to $90.32 at the close Thursday compresses the value of Apple — once the most valuable company in the world by far — to $494.8 billion. That makes it second fiddle behind Google parent Alphabet at $499.9 billion.

Shares of Apple have been in

freefall this year, dropping more than 14% amid the company’s disappointing first-quarter results. It’s the second time this year Alphabet’s market value has surpassed Apple’s. Apple has gone from being a lift for the market to a huge anchor, and it was one of the biggest pressures on the Dow Thursday.

Investors have watched $275 billion in market value vanish from Apple since it peaked in early 2015.

Investors are taking a more sobering look at Apple as all signs point to the smartphone market maturing, much as the personal computer market did. Apple reported first-quarter adjusted quarterly earnings of $1.90 a share, which was well below the $2 a share expected by analysts.

It’s not just a matter of just miss-

ing forecasts. Profit fell 18% from the same period a year ago. Revenue also missed expectations, falling about 12% to $50.6 billion, the biggest drop in revenue since the third quarter of 2001, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence.

Apple has been under intense pressure from investors as its key product — a $650 smartphone — faces stiff competition as the market for pricey phones is now saturated and innovation has stalled.

Consumers who wanted a high-end smartphone already have one and sometimes more.

New features have been incremental at best, and that is prompting many users to keep their phones longer.

Additionally, carriers have changed the terms of subsidies

that helped consumers finance phones, which is causing some consumers to consider if the Apple product is worth the premium price. Meanwhile, in the developing world where there’s more demand growth for smartphones, Apple must now take on Asian companies making handsets that have lower price tags and are usu-

ally running Alphabet’s Android operating system.

Apple has been slow to innovate, and newer products such as Apple Pay and Apple Music have fallen flat,and demand for other product lines including tablets has been shrinking.

Analysts still remain steadfastly bullish on Apple shares — as they have long been — in a bet that has worked out until the stock hit the wall in February 2015. Analysts still have an 18month price target on the stock of $123.96.

But the bullishness is fading as the market indicates something is amiss, especially as Alphabet picks up dominance in the lowend smartphone market and Microsoft is focused on profitable cloud services that add functionality to any device.

MONEYLINE WALMART SHIPPING UPGRADES TO TWO DAYS Walmart’s pilot subscription shipping program will now guarantee delivery within two days instead of three, helping the retailer go head-to-head with mammoth online competitor Amazon. Walmart said it’s tweaking its ShippingPass service, which launched last year, guaranteeing subscribers will receive their purchases within two days and shaving the annual fee from $50 to $49.

JOBLESS CLAIMS HIT HIGHEST LEVEL SINCE FEBRUARY 2015 The Labor Department says the number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits rose last week to the highest level since February 2015. Applications for jobless aid rose by 20,000 to a seasonally adjusted 294,000.

The four-week average, a less volatile measure, rose by 10,250 to 268,250, highest in nearly three months.

KOHL’S POSTS MAJOR Q1 PROFIT AND SALES DROP Kohl’s handily missed profit and sales forecasts for the first quarter as retailers dealt with a difficult shopping environment. The department store chain said revenue fell 3.7% from the yearago quarter to $3.97 billion. That was below what analysts expected, which was sales of $4.13 billion, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.

though that cost is partly offset by substantial tax benefits.)

Also prodding retiring owners is public angst about a wealth gap that has brought big benefits to high earners and widened after the 2008 financial crisis, says sociologist Sanjay Pinto, author of a Surdna Foundation report on worker-owned businesses.

In summer 2014, Boston-based Harpoon Brewery formed an ESOP that owns 48% of the company, allowing co-founder Rich Doyle, 56, to cash out. The com-

pany, with 186 full-time employees, plans to shift to 100% ESOP ownership when co-founder Dan Kenary, 55, steps down.

“I really value independence, and I’m not driven to maximizing the dollars,” Kenary says. “I was excited about the opportunity to share this with our employees.

And with all this talk about income inequality … there’s way too much greed in our society.”

Aaron Moberger, 29, a Harpoon manager, says the ESOP offers the “potential to generate wealth and have a comfortable retirement, but there’s no guarantee — it’s up to us” to grow the profits. “You sort of look at things with a more detailed eye and think, ‘How can we tease the most efficiency out of this process?’”

Companies on average grow sales, employment and productivity 2% to 3% faster each year after creating ESOPs, according to studies cited by NCEO. Unlike ESOPs, worker cooperatives are typically employeeowned from the outset, created by workers or their advocacy groups. The U.S. has only about 350 worker cooperatives that employ about 5,000, but they’ve posted double-digit annual growth since 2010, estimates Amy Johnson, co-executive director of the U.S. Federation of Worker Cooperatives.

Some employees laid off in the 2007 to 2009 recession formed cooperatives. Others have been emboldened by stagnant wages, Johnson says. The movement, she says, has caught fire in lowwage sectors such as housecleaning and home healthcare. Workers make an initial investment, get a share of profits, and have a voice in decisions. They figure, “We’re running everything. Why not start our own firm?”

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

Wednesday’s bombshell from department store giant Macy’s about consumers not opening their wallets as much as expected and Kohl’s falling short of quarterly profits Thursday could be foreshadowing a weaker-than-expected reading on April retail sales set for release Friday.

So says Stephen Kalayjian, chief market strategist of investment research at KnowVera.

Wall Street sees April retail sales rising 0.8%, rebounding from a drop of 0.3% in March, according to Bespoke Investment Group. But if Macy’s grim profit and sales forecast is any indication of consumers unwillingness to spend, Kalayjian thinks last month’s retail sales “will come in

worse than expected.”

Consumers spending less is not a good sign for the U.S. economy, corporate earnings or the stock market, Kalayjian warns.

“What is happening is you are starting to see the consumer potentially pull back,” he says. And that’s a negative as “the consumer was one of the bright hopes of the economy, along with job growth.”

“If you start to see a pullback in jobs and consumer spending,” he adds, “the U.S. economy, which is hanging by a thread, will be in dire straits.”

The recent weakness in consumer spending will make it that much tougher for the Federal Reserve to even “think about raising interest rates,” Kalayjian says.

The Fed, of course, has opted to hold short-term rates steady so far in 2016 after hiking rates in December for the first time in nearly a decade.

High-end retailer says more tough days are ahead Q: Can Nordstrom recover?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Nordstrom is getting hit from two sides with the slowdown in luxury and the tough period for department stores.

Analysts aren’t hopeful things will get much better anytime soon, and the company isn’t giving much reason to think otherwise.

The high-end retailer’s shares dropped more than 13% after the market closed Thursday after the company reported deeply disappointing results for the quarter ended in April. Nordstrom reported an adjusted quarterly profit of 26 cents a share, down a staggering 61% from the same period a year ago. It was much worse than analysts were expecting, as adjusted profit was more than 40% below expectations, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.

The serious downturn in profit at Nordstrom is causing the shares to be put on sale. Shares of Nordstrom closed down 26 cents to $45.19 during regular trading, which is down more than 40% over the past year. Even with the stock’s fall, investors shouldn’t be tempted to think there’s a value situation. The company warned the current fiscal year will be tough, as it says sales at stores open at least a year could decline up to 1%.

Analysts now expect adjusted profit in the current fiscal year to drop 4.5% and rate the stock a “hold.”

Lyft settles with California drivers to tune of $27 million Elizabeth Weise @eweise USA TODAY

Lyft has agreed to pay $27 million to settle a class action lawsuit brought by drivers in California who said the ridehailing service had misclassified them as independent contractors rather than employees.

The case revolved around whether the drivers were entitled to reimbursement for expenses including gasoline and vehicle maintenance, which employees would be paid for but which indeSAN FRANCISCO

pendent contractors would not.

Uber, a much larger company also based in San Francisco, settled a similar suit late last month for a payout that could reach as much as $100 million. As with

that suit, the Lyft settlement does not resolve whether drivers for these companies should be considered independent contractors or employees, a status which entails certain protections under labor law.

The newly updated Lyft agreement doubles the amount of money drivers will get compared to an initial proposal, said Shannon Liss-Riordan, the drivers’ lawyer.

“When we originally negotiated the settlement, we used data that Lyft provided us, which turned out to be very out of date by the time we got to the court to

seek preliminary approval. The miles driven by Lyft drivers had basically doubled. So the judge sent us back to look again at the case with the updated data, and we were able to negotiate a settlement of more than twice as much as the original deal,” she said.

The case, heard in federal court in the Northern District of California, must still be approved by the judge, Vince Chhabria.

Under the agreement, drivers who use Lyft’s app will continue to be independent contractors but will be paid a lump sum to settle reimbursement claims. The payout will be based on how

many hours per week they drove with Lyft.

While the settlement itself applies only to drivers who used Lyft in California, the San Francisco-based company will make the terms of service and product changes nationwide once the agreement is approved, the company said.

The main question remaining is whether drivers who use Lyft’s ride-hailing app are independent contractors or employees, said Todd Scherwin, a partner in the Los Angeles offices of Fisher & Philips, a labor and employment law firm.

STYLE STAR Actress Camilla Belle commanded the carpet when she arrived at the premiere of her latest film, ‘Sundown,’ in Hollywood Wednesday dressed in Monique Lhuillier.

The actress paired a sheer black top with embroidering PAUL REDMOND, over a WIREIMAGE black bra and black trousers accented with black ribbon and a bow from the designer’s fall 2016 collection.

She topped her look with a silver-beaded net cardigan from the same collection.

MAKING WAVES Today marks Michael Strahan’s last day on ‘Live With Kelly and Michael,’ much earlier than his expected September GETTY IMAGES transition to ABC’s ‘Good Morning America.’

This week, Kelly Ripa shared her reasoning with ‘People’ for speeding up Strahan’s departure.

“We have summer hiatus, we have vacation time. We need to find people. If we’re going to have this list narrowed down at least to a manageable size by the fall, we need to start now.”

Somehow, Meghan Trainor has managed to become one of our most reliably consistent pop stars.

Once pegged as a one-hit wonder with her 2014 juggernaut All About That Bass, she upended expectations just a few months later on debut album Title: an arsenal of doo-wop-inspired, top 40-charting earworms including Dear Future Husband and Lips Are Movin.

A newly crowned Grammy winner for best new artist, Trainor has flipped the script once again on sophomore effort Thank You (ee out of four), out Friday, for which she overhauled her image and sound, and scored yet another megahit in girl-power anthem No. Fending off unwanted advances over a sticky, staccato beat, No finds the 22-year-old doing her best impression of late ’90s/early 2000s pop icons Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera — down to the skintight bodysuits and meticulous choreography in its music video.

It’s a cheeky, infectious homage to a bygone era and a seemingly confident step forward for Trainor as she moves past Title’s oldfashioned charm into more grown-up musical terrain. But No also represents a larger problem on Thank You, as she pulls from such a wide array of influences that she sometimes loses her own voice in the process.

Going into this album, Trainor told Time that she aspires to be REVIEW PATRICK RYAN

Trainor’s sophomore album is out Friday. the female Bruno Mars: a master of different genres who can “successfully do them all.”

It’s an objective that can be heard right from the get-go on upbeat opener Watch Me Do, in which she casually pseudo-raps about confidence and her strict “low-hater diet.”

Broad messages of self-love and empowerment crop up throughout the deluxe edition’s 15 songs, whether she’s igniting a footstomping soul revival on I Love Me, preaching self-worth on the Caribbean soca-infected Better, or sending her girl squad to the dance floor on call-and-response Woman Up. Generic stabs at tropical house (Champagne Problems) and a modern Cha Cha Slide (Dance

Like Yo Daddy) are among the album’s low points, while lyrically, Trainor is at her best on strippeddown ballads Kindly Calm Me Down and Hopeless Romantic.

The latter, in particular, proves that she doesn’t need to try and manufacture what she thinks pop radio listeners want to hear — her charisma and dynamic vocals go a long way in selling a song.

Not unlike Miley Cyrus’ Bangerz or Selena Gomez’s Stars Dance before it, Thank You tries to be a little bit of everything, and unfortunately it doesn’t amount to much. But it signals a promising future for the immensely talented Trainor as she hones her voice for what we hope are more focused future efforts.

A new bistro could go into this small building that is just west of the Poehler Lofts in East Lawrence.

Bistro has lofty vision in East Lawrence

E

ven though plans for my Magnum P.I. mustache got vetoed, I’m still working to solve the mystery of a new bistro that is now under construction in East Lawrence’s Warehouse Arts District. Here are two new clues: The project involves a 33-foot long food truck and the owners of downtown Lawrence’s The Burger Stand restaurant.

Simon and Codi Bates, the owners of The Burger Stand at 803 Massachusetts St., told me they indeed have signed a lease to operate a new bistro in the small building that is just west of the Poehler Lofts building at

Eighth and Pennsylvania streets.

We’ve reported multiple times that Tony Krsnich, who leads the group that has developed the Warehouse Arts District, wants to have a bistro in the small, historic stone building. But until now, we haven’t known who would operate the business.

We still don’t know exactly what the new restaurant will include. Codi and Simon said they weren’t ready yet to announce a name for the project or to provide many details about the proposed menu. But one thing is clear: The bistro won’t be The Burger Stand East.

“We love burgers, but we also love other things, too,” Codi said.

“We may put one burger on the menu, but no more than that,” Simon said. “We are friends with so many restaurant owners in downtown, and we don’t want to step on what other people are doing. It is going to be something that is different than what is offered currently.”

Codi said the menu will focus on “what we like to make for ourselves when we are home.” (I tried to get a loan for just such a concept once, but the banker said he didn’t think a restaurant that served sticks of butter dipped in sugar would pencil out.)

Simon said he’s reluctant to discuss details of the menu, in part, because he still has to

Town Talk

Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

figure out what can be made in a food truck. The stone building for the bistro is so small that it can’t accommodate a kitchen, so all food will be made from a food truck that is parked outside the bistro. Simon said a North Lawrence company currently is converting a 33-foot long U-Haul truck — the largest they could find — into a food truck. Simon, who is a classically trained chef who has worked in New York and Chicago, has never operated in a food truck before.

“We’re still a week away from

getting the truck,” Simon said.

“I really want to get in there and see what we can do with it.”

In addition to the food truck, the bistro also will have a coffee bar and pastries, Codi said. The plan is for the restaurant to offer a lot of grab-and-go options, especially for breakfast and lunch to serve the growing office crowd in the Warehouse Arts District.

The restaurant also will serve liquor, but both Simon and Codi said they are not looking to create a bar atmosphere for the business.

“First and foremost, everyone is invited,” Simon said. “It will be a family-friendly place. We’re not looking at being a loud bar scene at all.”

Codi noted that she and Simon live in the neighborhood near the bistro. That is how they became interested in the project. She said they had watched as neighbors expressed concern that the bistro would become more of a bar than a restaurant. Codi said she and Simon started wondering what the project would look like if they became involved.

“We didn’t really need another project,” Codi said, “but we have 55 people on staff (at The Burger Stand) who are really talented. We feel like we can create another opportunity for some of our staff members.”

“We wanted something fun,” Simon said. “We love burgers and we really have become tied to that, but we also love to do different things.

This is a passion project for us.

We want to have fun with it, and we want it to be good for the neighborhood.”

The project does have to meet a city requirement that it make 55 percent or more of its sales from food rather than from alcohol sales. Codi said that wasn’t going to be a problem for the business.

As far as a timeline, interior demolition work on the building began this week. Codi and Simon are hoping for a late summer opening. I’ll let you know when I hear more details about the name and menu plans for the restaurant.

A simple coat of paint can brighten your home

Linda A. Ditch/Contributed Photo

When choosing colors for painting the exterior of a home, plan to buy one for the body of the house and two accent colors for the trim and doors.

P

aint is a simple and inexpensive way to create a dramatic impact on the look of a home. Change the color, brighten a faded exterior or add an accent color and the house can make a statement in the neighborhood — and to potential buyers. Homeowners often decide to tackle this job themselves to save money, so there are some important steps to keep in mind that will ensure a beautiful, longlasting paint job. Done well, an exterior paint finish can last up to 15 years.

The first step is to look to the sky. Weather that is too wet, cold or hot will cause the paint to fail, bubble or peel. The rule of thumb is the temperature should be between 50 and 90 degrees, with low humidity and free of rain for 24 hours. If the weather was rainy for a few days, give the house extra time to dry. Plus, make sure the morning dew dries before you begin.

To paint a surface, you need to get to the surface.

Real Estate Matters

Linda Ditch lindaaditch@gmail.com

Paint will adhere to what’s there, so it is important to remove any old loose paint, either by scraping, heat gun or chemical paint removers. There are no short-cuts. If you don’t remove the loose paint, the new paint will flake off. Try to get to the bare wood. Use sandpaper to rough up the surface of any well-stuck paint to smooth it out and allow the new coat to cling.

Also, clean the exterior to remove dirt and mildew. A hose and scrub brush are the only tools you need. Many professional painters use trisodium phosphate for clean-

ing, which can be found in most paint stores.

You will need to caulk any cracks and small joints to keep moisture out. Then, the final prep step is putting a coat of primer on any bare wood.

Primer is designed to allow paint to adhere to a surface better. It also solves problems, such as sealing bare wood and keeping knots in the wood from bleeding through the paint.

Now you’re ready to paint. When choosing colors, plan to buy one for the body of the house and two accent colors for the trim and the door. Most paint companies now have one simple card to show the primary color and possible accent colors. Plus, many of the companies offer small jars of sample paint to test out on the siding.

The next step is to choose the type of paint.

Oil paints require a chemical paint thinner to remove.

Latex paint can be cleaned with soap and water. The choice depends on the type of siding and what paint was on the house before.

The most common selection is acrylic latex.

Once you choose the paint type, then pick the sheen — flat, matte, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss and gloss. Most exteriors are painted with a satin finish on both the body and the trim.

To figure out how much paint to buy, calculate the house’s exterior square footage by adding the widths of the four sides, and then multiplying by the height. Always err on the side of too much instead of too little so you’re not try-

Two coats of paint will result in a long-lasting finish. Start at the top and work down. Also, be sure to work in the shade to keep the paint from drying too quickly. Finally, give the paint at least four hours of drying time in the daylight.

CITY SHOWDOWN BASEBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Lions claw, can’t scratch victory Right from the very first out of the game, it was evident Free State High, ranked third in the state in baseball, had a fight on its hands against a pitbull of an opponent Thursday night in Hoglund Ballpark.

Firebirds leadoff hitter Jacob Pavlyak rapped a sinking line drive to center field that had base hit written all over it. On it from the crack of the bat, Lions center fielder Daonte Lowery had other ideas and sprinted in to snag it before it hit the ground.

An inning later, Hunter Gudde was on his way to scoring the tying run from second on Parker Tietjen’s hit to left. Only a perfect play from all three fielders would make for a close play at the plate. And perfection the Lions delivered. Luke Padia dug the ball out of foul territory and fired a laser to relay man Parker Kirkpatrick, the third baseman, who delivered it in a hurry. Catcher Reese Carmona quickly placed the tag before Gudde could hit home plate.

Padia made another big play in the fifth when he ran down Gudde’s hit over his head and toward center.

Gudde put Padia on his horse again and the left fielder made the catch on a hard-hit hooking fly near the chalk line.

Clutch plays from the Lions were easy to find.

Andrew Stewart breathed fire into the dugout when halfway down the firstbase line he screamed to teammates after hitting a screamer to center with one out in the seventh and the score tied. It felt at that moment as if an upset might be brewing. Didn’t happen.

The Firebirds have never lost when scoring a run this season.

Spurred by Zion Bowlin’s three hits and three RBI, Free State won it, 7-4, with an eighth-inning explosion aided by LHS mishaps in the field. But the Lions’ seventh loss in eight games didn’t dilute coach Brad Stoll’s faith this fiery bunch can win two games next week and return to The Hog, site of the 6A state tournament.

“This one stings,” Stoll said. “It stings a lot, but our goal all year has been to come play for the state title here in this ballpark. That hasn’t changed.”

Stoll traced the loss to one pitch, the high, but not high enough fastball to Bowlin with first base open Pavlyak on second and one out in the sixth inning with the Lions leading 3-2. Bowling drove to right to plate the game-tying run.

Once the Firebirds tied it, Gudde, as smart and clutch on the mound as Bowlin is at the plate, came out of the bullpen and worked his way into and out of jams on his way to a victory that improved his career record to 16-1.

“I knew I was just going to fight,” Bowlin said. “He kept throwing me fastballs.

I knew I was going to hit his fastball. I wasn’t going to lose on his fastball.”

It was Bowlin who extended the game for the Firebirds, drilling a game-tying RBI single into right field in the top of the sixth inning to score junior Jacob Pavlyak.

In the fifth inning, Bowlin hit a leadoff single and scored on a RBI single from senior Parker Tietjen.

Cheick Diallo has big day Thursday at NBA Combine

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University freshman Cheick Diallo, whose 7-foot-41⁄2 wingspan measured second longest of all players at this week’s NBA Combine, scored 18 points off 7-of-10 shooting with four blocks and four rebounds, in his first official scrimmage at the pre-draft extravaganza in Chicago.

“League execs I’ve spoken to Thursday said he’ll go in

the 20s (of first round of June 23 Draft),” wrote Comcast SportsNet’s A. Sherrod Blakely, who covers the Boston Celtics.

For sure, Diallo, who stretched to 6-foot-9 in shoes, 218.6 pounds (6-71⁄2 without shoes) dazzled at the Combine on Thursday.

“Cheick Diallo is going to be signing a lot of checks and he’s not going back to KU,” ESPN’s Jay Williams said after viewing Thursday’s scrimmage. KU coach

“I just stopped thinking about trying to crank it over the fence or try do something big,” Bowlin said. “I just needed to stay simple and just do what I usually do.”

For the third time in their past four games, the Firebirds (16-4) ended up with a double-digit hit total. Only this time, they struggled to bring those runners across the plate. The Firebirds left 11 runners on base, including four straight innings with Please see BASEBALL, page 3D

DRAG HIT

Bill Self has told the JournalWorld several times he does not expect Diallo to return for a sophomore campaign.

Diallo, who has a mentor in Tidiane Drame, has not yet hired an agent thus technically is eligible to return to college.

Is he going to be offensively gifted enough to Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo give you points down low on the block, but he showed KANSAS UNIVERSITY SENIOR BRIANA EVANS (77) SLAPS AT A PITCH looking for a hit Thursday at Please see HOOPS, page 3D Arrocha Ballpark.

Pester-Ryan doubles team returns to state

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Maybe not quite as easy as learning to ride a bike again, Free State High juniors Jonah Pester and Seamus Ryan teamed up for the first time since last season at the boys tennis regional last weekend.

It took a few matches to

find a rhythm, but Pester and Ryan finished fifth in doubles and qualified for the Class 6A state tournament for the second straight year.

There’s a little unfinished business for Pester and Ryan after the duo lost in the third round at state last season, failing to receive a medal. They are hoping to

change that when the state tournament begins at 11:30 a.m. today at Harmon Park in Prairie Village.

“We know what we need to do to get a medal,” Pester said. “We have a pretty good seed. … Definitely have a chance to medal.”

Playing alongside each other for the first time in a year, Pester and Ryan

trailed by a set before winning the match to qualify for state.

They play different styles, which helps them as a pairing. Pester is better at the net and Ryan prefers the baseline.

Along with Pester and Ryan, Free State junior Ian Please see TENNIS, page 3D

He knocked down his midrange jump shots.

Playing with energy is a skill set in today’s league,” Williams added.

“He gives you energy every single play. If he keeps playing like this he potentially could be drafted in the lottery.”

Diallo, by the way, told Zagsblog.com’s Adam Zagoria on Thursday, “probably yes I’m going to the draft.”

“He’s not going back (to KU),” reiterated ESPN’s Fran Fraschilla. “We were at KU last week (for fantasy camp). I don’t think there’s any indication there he’d go back.”

Of Diallo’s play Thursday, Fraschilla said: “There is a lot to like because of the athleticism. There’s a lot to work with there. We’re talking a raw big man. He will probably spend some time in the D-League and will need to improve.”

Diallo reportedly met with representatives of nine NBA teams on Thursday. Zagsblog.com said he’ll interview with Boston, New York, Toronto and Utah today.

“I went to Kansas because I love it,” Diallo told Zagsblog Thursday.

Diallo added to reporter Zagoria he “had no regrets” and the NCAA stuff (delay in clearing him until after season started) “set him back.”

The Kansas University baseball team heads to Manhattan for the weekend, looking to keep alive its hopes of reaching the Big 12 Championship May 25-29 in Oklahoma City.

The Jayhawks (19-29-1 overall, 5-12 Big 12) enter the weekend a half game behind both Kansas State (24-25, 6-12) and Baylor for the eighth and final spot in the tournament.

And with just one series remaining after this, KU coach Ritch Price knows his team needs to show up and show well against the in-state rival Wildcats.

“When you’re in this position, you want a chance to play yourself in,” Price said. “And if you win (this) series you’re obviously ahead

(in the standings).”

In order to do that, the Jayhawks are going to have to find a way to have some success beyond Game 1. Senior ace Ben Krauth has been solid all season in the opening game of each series, but injuries that crippled the KU pitching staff have made victories on Saturday or Sunday tough to come by. Kansas is 4-2 in conference in series openers this season but just 1-10 in Games 2 and 3.

While those numbers, which Price knows well, are important, they’re secondary to the big picture this weekend.

“It’s a really good rivalry series and, you know, we’ve got an amazing record against Missouri and Nebraska and Wichita State, but we have not done as well against K-

State the last few years,” Price said. “We dominated ’em when I first got here but their left-handed hitters have given us fits and that’s gonna be the match-up. We’re gonna run two left-handed pitchers out there at ’em and they’re gonna have to pitch significantly better than they pitched (last) weekend to give us a chance to win this series.”

Price knows his team has to play well during the final two weekends of the regular season to have a shot at earning a trip to Oklahoma City.

And he would not have it any other way.

“We don’t want to back in,” he said. “We gotta play good enough to get in.”

First pitch tonight is set for 6:30 p.m. at Tointon Family Stadium in Manhattan.

It wasn’t the cleanest win, especially when the two teams combined for eight errors, but in the City Showdown, there’s no style points.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY JUNIOR TAYLOR MCELHANEY (32) MAKES A THROW to first base in the first inning of the Jayhawks’ 11-5 win over Iowa State on Thursday at Arrocha Ballpark.

BRIEFLY Big 6th inning carries Kansas Kansas University’s softball team broke open a tight ballgame with a sixrun sixth inning Thursday to defeat Iowa State, 11-5, at Arrocha Ballpark.

The Jayhawks scratched out three runs in the first inning on two errors, singles by Chaley Brickey and Daniella Chavez and a sacrifice fly by Harli Ridling.

Iowa State answered with a run in the top of the third, matched by Kansas in the bottom half of the inning.

The Cyclones chased KU starter Andie Formby and took a 5-4 lead in the fourth before the Jayhawks tied the game on Briana Evans’ double, which brought home Kylee Kennedy.

Chavez started Kansas’ big sixth inning with a solo home run. Taylor Dodson followed with a two-run shot, Shannon McGinley hit a two-run double and Ridling closed the scoring with a single that scored McGinley.

Monique Wesley (5-5) got the win in relief of Formby.

The two team resume their series at 5 p.m. today at Arrocha Ballpark.

KU baseball earns academic honors Eleven members of the Kansas University baseball program were recognized by the Big 12 Conference as the league office unveiled its 2016 Academic All-Big 12 Baseball Team Thursday.

Four Jayhawks were named as repeat honorees:

seniors Hayden Edwards, Tommy Mirabelli, Joe Moroney and Colby Wright. Mirabelli, Moroney and Wright earn first team honors while Edwards was a second team selection.

“I am really proud of the job these guys have done in the classroom,” head coach Ritch Price said. “In the fall, our team posted the highest team GPA (grade-point average) in Kansas baseball history and had the most guys on the honor roll since I have been here.”

Joining Mirabelli, Moroney and Wright on the first team were sophomores Matt McLaughlin and Blake Weiman and junior Marcus Wheeler. There were 57-total first team honorees from around the conference achieving a 3.20-plus GPA. Junior Joven Afenir, senior Sam Gilbert, senior Ryan Pidhaichuk and sophomore Owen Taylor also earned second team recognition with a GPA of 3.00-3.19.

Kansas tennis snags 5 awards Kansas University women’s tennis freshman Anastasiya Rychagova snagged three postseason honors from the Big 12 Conference and Smith Hinton and Nina Khmelnitckaia each picked up one of their own, as the conference announced its awards Thursday.

Rychagova was the conference coaches’ unanimous selection for Big 12 Freshman of the Year and also earned first team AllBig 12 honors and Big 12 all-freshman team honors.

She is the first Jayhawk in the history of the program to pick up Big 12 freshman of the year honors and is the first KU player since Magdalena Tocarcyzk did so in 2008 to be tabbed a first team All-Big 12 selection.

“It is great for the girls

to be honored by the Big 12,” said head coach Todd Chapman. “I have said it all year, they put in so much work.”

Hinton, a native of Raleigh, N.C., earned second team All-Big 12 honors. Hinton, who plays on court two, has collected a 10-7 (with seven unfinished matches) mark in singles play during the dual-match season. Additionally, she joined forces with Rychagova to post an impressive 19-2 mark in doubles action.

Khmelnitckaia joined Rychagova on the Big 12 all-freshman team.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Yanks top Royals The Associated Press

American League Yankees 7, Royals 3 New York — Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost keeps insisting that prolonged rough patches often lead right into big runs.

Another loss, and the Royals are still waiting.

Ian Kennedy was tagged for three early home runs, and the Royals lost for the 12th time in 16 games, beaten 7-3 by the New York Yankees on Thursday night.

The World Series champs dropped three of four at Yankee Stadium and have lost five straight series.

“I’ll just be happy to get home. It seems like we haven’t been home in a year. We have a real comfort level there and enjoy playing at home,” Yost said.

The Royals were the best road team in the majors the last three seasons.

But this year, they’re just 7-13 away from Kauffman Stadium.

Before the game, Yost said he wasn’t worried about his team, saying “it’s a group that doesn’t panic.”

Chase Headley, Starlin Castro and Didi Gregorius hit home runs to boost the Yankees.

Nathan Eovaldi (3-2) worked around eight hits in five innings, and overcame getting struck on the leg by Lorenzo Cain’s hard one-hopper at the outset.

On Eovaldi’s last pitch, Salvador Perez nearly launched a go-ahead, three-run homer, but right fielder Carlos Beltran caught the ball at the top of the wall. Eovaldi wiped his brow as he walked off the mound while Perez put both hands on the top of his helmet.

“I thought when Salvy hit it, he was working on hitting the ball the other way in batting practice, and he hit during batting practice like nine home runs to the opposite way so when he hit that, I thought it’s definitely got a chance to go out,” Yost said.

Relievers Kirby Yates and Dellin Betances each followed with a perfect inning to hold a 5-3 lead.

Alex Gordon hit a solo home run and an RBI single for Kansas City. The Royals outhit the Yankees 9-7.

Kennedy (4-3) lost in his first game back in the Bronx since the Yankees traded him after the 2009 season.

“Felt really good, felt good in the bullpen. It’s kind of a shame, it’s kind of a waste when you feel good and you physically feel good and you lose and you don’t give your team a chance,” he said.
