RECENT HEAVY RAINS HAVE BEEN A MIXED BAG for area farms, like this one northeast of Lawrence, where corn waited to dry out in standing water Wednesday. Farmers are now hoping for enough rain-free days to allow the young corn plants’ roots to become better established and dry out fields so they can plant soybeans.

Topeka — Gov. Sam Brownback signed a budget bill into law Wednesday while at the same time ordering $97 million in allotment cuts, mostly through cuts to higher education and Medicaid funding.

Those cuts amount to an average 4 percent reduction for most state agencies, except K-12 education and public safety services.

But the governor accepted a proviso that lawmakers put into the budget that will LEGISLATURE force Kansas University and Kansas State University to shoulder a larger share of those cuts.

“Our economy continues to face challenges with declines in oil and gas production, agriculture and aviation, our three major industries,” Brownback said in a statement released to news outlets.

“This budget recognizes those challenges while protecting K-12 education and public safety and finding government efficiencies that put more money back in the hands of working Kansans.”

this world,” said Shawn Bailey, Kaylie Bailey’s estranged husband and Lana-Leigh Bailey’s father. “The only decisive determination I have come to is that you simply wanted to cause as much pain and devastation to the world because your own life was such a wretched, sorry excuse of an existence.”

“In their own respective realms, both of them had just started life,” Lisa Smith said of her daughter, Kaylie Bailey, and her granddaughter, LanaLeigh Bailey. “They were beautiful. They were precious. They were adored.

They were mine. They are dead.”

When asked if there was anything he wished to say before the sentencing, Flack shook his head and said only “no.”

Addressing the courtroom, Godderz called the four murders tragic, needless and troubling.

He said the devastating effects of the crimes

sentence on Flack for the capital murder conviction. Flack was also sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for 25 years for the first-degree murder conviction, 23 years in prison for the seconddegree murder conviction and nine months in prison for a felony gun charge.

Before the sentencing, several members of the victims’ families spoke of their feelings of grief, loss, pain, confusion and condemnation of Flack’s actions.

“I don’t know what to say other than I lost my best friend,” said Neil Stout, Andrew Stout’s father. “I don’t understand how something like this happens.”

“I can’t have anyone knock at my door

without feeling anxious.

I pushed away friends and family who have tried to understand what I’m going through,” said Randi White, Steven White’s wife. “My kids both have anxiety and or anger issues. They have trouble sleeping. My son has nightmares every night. Nightmares where he calls out for his daddy.

And his daddy should be able to protect him from these dreams, but he’s gone.”

“The holidays are not the same anymore, for the last three years,” said Carla Fisher, Steven White’s mother. “Christmastime was his favorite holiday. If he wasn’t at the house celebrating with us, he would always call. Well, for the last three years he hasn’t called.”

“I have spent countless hours over the years trying to decipher your actions on the day you stole the only good thing I’ve ever done for

were easily seen in the faces of the victims’ families.

As Godderz announced his decision to impose the death penalty on Flack for the capital murder conviction, scattered gasps and muttered words of agreement swept across the courtroom.

Shawn Bailey, however, later said he had hoped Flack would not get the death penalty because he would have preferred to see him in the general prison population.

It isn’t clear how to move forward after Flack’s conviction and sentencing, Shawn Bailey said.

“It killed everything in me,” he said. “It’s not really something I would want to risk again. Being a dad, being a husband, that’s just a lot of pain.”

The wet weather and high humidity did encourage a number of diseases in winter wheat, most noticeably leaf rust, Wyckoff said. It’s too early to tell just what that would mean when farmers start cutting wheat next month, but there remained the potential for a good harvest, Wyckoff said.

Although there were sporadic areas of hail and high winds in Douglas County, the area did avoid the more severe weather that visited other regions of northeast Kansas in the past month, Barjenbruch said.

With the recent wet spell, Clinton Lake’s elevation at 8 a.m. Wednesday was about six feet above its normal level, said Samantha Jones, park manager with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Clinton Lake. The lake was still rising, she said, but not as rapidly with the end of the rain Tuesday.

Clinton Lake is part of the Corps of Engineers watershed management system for the Missouri River, Jones said. Because of the current level of that river, Clinton is one of the dams in the system not currently releasing water, she said. Should the reservoir level rise another foot, Clinton would be at its “surveillance level,” which would bump it up in priority to release water, she said.

Currently, some of the Bloomington East swimming beach the Corps of Engineers manages is underwater, but there are areas still accessible, Jones said.

The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks public beach is currently underwater, said Bruce Husman, acting park manager at Clinton State Park.

There is some hope for farmers and others hoping the rain will go away, Barjenbruch said. There is one more chance of light rain through the weekend, and dry days are predicted to outnumber wet days next week, he said.

That trend might not last. More rain is predicted for Lawrence in the next two weeks, and there is a likelihood for above-average precipitation in the next 90 days, Barjenbruch said.

Stout, and his roommate, Steven White, all took place between April 20 and May 1, 2013, in a rural farmhouse eight miles west of Ottawa.

All the victims were shot at close range with a 12-gauge shotgun.

The adults’ bodies were found a week later at the farm, while the child’s body was found in a suitcase dumped into a rural creek.

Flack’s trial lasted two weeks and prosecutors called dozens of witnesses to the stand. The defense called no witnesses. Jurors deliberated for a total of about four hours before returning with guilty verdicts.

Excluding Flack, there are currently 9 people on death row in Kansas, according to the Kansas Department of Corrections.

The state has not executed anybody since 1965.

KDOT official shares 4 options for K-10 and Kasold

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

A Kansas Department of Transportation engineer told the Douglas County Commission and several Lawrence city commissioners Wednesday that four options are being considered for the Kansas Highway 10 and Kasold Drive intersection.

Ryan Barrett, KDOT project

Public meeting, final report on issue scheduled for June manager for the K-10 west leg, made his COUNTY statements at COMMISSION a work session that opened the Douglas County Commission’s regular weekly meeting. After listing KDOT’s concerns for the intersection

and those local agencies have expressed to the highway department, Barrett presented four options for the intersection, which were rated for safety, cost and impact to traffic flow.

Barrett did not give a preference to any of the options.

KDOT’s solution would be

developed after a process that includes a June 1 public information meeting and more discussions with the city and county commissions and their staffs, he said.

KDOT’s concern was an increase of traffic at the intersection from the current 7,500 vehicles a day to 16,800 daily with

the fall opening of the South Lawrence Trafficway, Barrett said. The highway department also had the goal of maintaining freeway-type traffic flow on K-10, he said.

The four options for the intersection are: Please see K-10, page 5A

County clerk ready to comply with voter registration order

From the Archives

“

By Peter Hancock

It is my duty to have our office prepared for all possible scenarios and our responsibility to secure the rights of all voters under the law.”

Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew said Wednesday that his office is prepared to register hundreds of voters whose registrations are on hold because they have not shown proof of U.S. citizenship.

His statement came in response to a federal court decision Tuesday in a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union. A U.S. District Court judge in Kansas City, Kan., granted a preliminary injunction that prevents the state from enforcing its proofof-citizenship rule on voters who register to vote when obtaining or renewing their driver’s licenses.

That injunction would take effect June 1. How-

— Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew ever, it was put on hold pending Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s appeal to the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

“It is my duty to have our office prepared for all possible scenarios and our responsibility to secure the rights of all voters under the law,” Shew said.

He estimated that between 900 and 1,000 Douglas County residents who attempted to register through driver’s license offices have had their voter

registrations put on hold for failing to provide proof of citizenship.

According to the court order, however, if those voters are eventually put on the voter rolls, they would only be able to vote in primary and general elections for federal offices, including the presidential race and races for the U.S. House and Senate.

Kansas Chamber, pizza magnate blast veto of tax appeal bill

Topeka — The Kansas Chamber on Wednesday harshly criticized Gov. Sam Brownback’s veto of a bill aimed at reforming the state’s tax appeal process, and retired businessman Gene Bicknell, who is embroiled in a $50 million tax dispute with the state, called it “illogical.”

Bills on zoning, food sales, ‘revenge porn’ also signed Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Gov. Sam Brownback signed 17 bills into law Wednesday, including one that makes it easier to prosecute people for transmitting sexually explicit images using electronic devices, even if the images were taken consensually.

Another bill, with provisions aimed directly at Lawrence, prohibits local governments from regulating the sale price of residential real estate. It also prevents local governments from imposing standards on the nutrition content of food sold at retail.

House Bill 2501 deals with subjects commonly known as “sexting,” or sending sexually explicit images as text mes-

sages using a smartphone; and “revenge porn,” or the transmission of sexually explicit images or videos that were taken of consenting adults, but doing so for the purpose of harassing or intimidating one of the parties involved.

The sexting provision deals specifically with teenage couples and makes it easier to prosecute those cases by lowering the severity of the crime to a class A misdemeanor for a first offense.

Prosecutors had told lawmakers they were reluctant to take on cases of teenagers sending explicit text messages because, as a felony, a person convicted would have to register as a sex offender.

The reduced severity applies when the offender is younger than 19 and the image depicts a

visions from three bills that were initially considered separately during the session.

One, aimed specifically at Lawrence, prohibits local governments from regulating the sale price of residential real estate.

It’s meant to prevent local governments from enacting what are called “inclusionary zoning” laws, an idea that has been talked about as a strategy to promote affordable housing and mixed-income neighborhoods.

The provision covers cases where a person consented to having the image taken but did not consent to having it distributed.

an “anti-Bloomberg” provision, named after former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg whose administration attempted to ban the sale of large sugary soft drinks.

It prohibits local governments from regulating the nutritional content or labeling of food sold through retail outlets, or from regulating certain kinds of marketing and promotional strategies, such as offering toys, games or prizes to go along with kids meals sold in fast food restaurants.

A third provision prohibits local governments from enacting their own labor laws that would regulate the work schedules of private-sector employees.

Food truck owner plans new culinary festival for fall “ “Our thing is really trying to keep it local Lawrence, showcasing great foods and different cuisines here in town,” Ireland said.

Savor Lawrence will be held the afternoon of Oct. 23. Part of the

700 block of Vermont Street near the Lawrence Public Library will be closed to house food trucks and other vendors. Vendors will also be stationed on the plaza next to the library.

Besides food, Ireland

envisions live music and activities for kids.

A local brewery — not yet announced — will provide beer.

Ireland participated earlier this month in the Kansas Food Truck Festival in East Lawrence, what she called the “kickoff” to food truck season.

That event, in its third year, saw 3,800 attendees and 26 trucks.

“Lawrence really comes out for these truck festivals … I mean, by the thousands,” Ireland said.

“There’s definitely room

vere,” he said.

Keeping the at-grade intersection open was also counter to KDOT’s ultimate goal of making K-10 a four-lane freeway with only separatedgrade intersections, he said.

A traffic control signal at the intersection would cost from $70,000 to $170,000, Barrett said.

The option would be safer than the no-change alternative but would have consequences to the flow of traffic, he said.

The right-on, rightoff option was also safer than doing nothing and less restrictive of traffic flow because it eliminated traffic maneuvering in the path of eastbound and westbound K-10 traffic, Barrett said. He estimated the cost of adding

the needed turn lanes at $315,000.

Closing the intersection was the safest option but would increase traffic on County Road 458 to the south, Barrett said. KDOT would install a traffic control signal at CR 458 and U.S. 59 should that be the chosen option, he said. The modifications were estimated to cost $270,000.

A KDOT review indicated the intersection’s closing would not significantly increase traffic on East 900 Road over the Clinton Lake Dam, Barrett said.

To address the concerns of LawrenceDouglas County Fire and Medical and the Wakarusa Township Fire Department about increased response times with the intersection’s closure,

KDOT would install a gate that would allow emergency vehicles access to East 1200 Road to the south, Barrett said.

KDOT will continue to consult with city and county staff and report to the two commissions May 31. It will have a public informational meeting on the intersection from 5 to 7 p.m. June 1 at the Lawrence United Methodist Church West Campus, 867 U.S. Highway 40.

A final report summarizing comments from the public meeting and recommendations will be shared June 21 with the Lawrence City Commission and the following day with the Douglas County Commission, Barrett said. A selected alternative, which KDOT “hoped could be support-

ed” by both commissions, would be presented at the meetings, he said.

The goal was to bid any needed work in September with an October construction schedule, Barrett said. KDOT would have money available to pay for the chosen option, he said.

Public comment and suggestions from local governments would have weight, but Barrett said KDOT would make the final decision.

“Ultimately, the intersection is involved on our highway,” he said. “Not everybody is going to like the decision that gets made. We’re just looking for a decision everyone can live with.”

to district courts by that route, and officials said courts have interpreted the “de novo” provision differently. Some have taken it to mean the court only gives a fresh review of the record from BOTA, not necessarily an entirely new trial.

The language in this year’s bill was intended to clarify that “de novo” means a new trial, which could include new evidence and arguments not presented to BOTA. Bicknell, the founder and former owner of Pittsburg-based National Pizza Co., is currently involved in an appeal of his income taxes from 2005 and 2006.

He says he filed returns

as a nonresident those years because he had retired and permanently relocated to Florida. But the state of Kansas reviewed those returns and argues he was still a Kansas resident.

Bicknell is disputing roughly $42 million in taxes, plus an estimated $8 million in additional interest and penalties levied by the department.

At the time of his appeal, the law provided that a taxpayer could appeal a BOTA decision to the Kansas Court of Appeals, but the burden of proof was on the taxpayer to show the BOTA decision was in error.

The Court of Appeals

sided with Bicknell in his case and remanded it back to BOTA to be reconsidered. But the Department of Revenue has since asked the Kansas Supreme Court to review that decision.

The bill that Brownback vetoed Tuesday would have clarified what a “de novo” appeal to a district court would entail.

“The governor should know that he signed de novo review of BOTA decisions into law in 2014, and fortunately, his veto of SB 280 does not change that law,” Bicknell said.

During legislative discussions, Brownback lobbied to limit de novo appeals at the district court just to property tax cases.

Appeals such as Bicknell’s then would have continued to be handled at the Court of Appeals, where BOTA is given the presumption of being correct.

The House initially accepted that language, but the Senate objected and sent the bill back to a conference committee. The final version removed the language limiting de novo appeals to district court just to property tax cases.

In his veto statement, Brownback implied that the bill was meant as a special favor for Bicknell, saying: “Tax obligations should be contested before the Board of Tax Appeals and not by seeking special treatment through

nesses looking to locate or expand in Lawrence and Douglas County.

McElwain said it likely will take at least three to four months to fill the position.

“I think we need to have someone with experience,” McElwain said.

“They will have to have certain understanding of our market. They don’t have to have lived in Lawrence, but they need to understand a university town and the economic development process we have here.”

Pollington’s resignation comes at a time when economic development leaders are looking to fill VenturePark, the

relatively new business park on the former Farmland Industries property in eastern Lawrence.

“I will step up my activity in that area,” McElwain said of plans for economic development work during the interim period.

McElwain said activity levels have increased in recent months. He said the Burlington Northern Santa Fe intermodal transportation facility in Edgerton was continuing to bring prospects to the area.

McElwain said The Chamber is still waiting to hear word on when work will begin on Lawrence’ next big industrial project. City commissioners in January ap-

proved a nearly $2.3 million incentive package for a Menards manufacturing and distribution center.

The home improvement retailer is scheduled to be the first tenant for the VenturePark project, and is expected to create 100 to 150 full-time jobs.

McElwain, though, said The Chamber is still waiting to hear from Menards about when the project will begin construction.

“These processes start and stop and move on their own timeline,” McElwain said. “The project is on their timeline, not ours.”

Lawrence this fall as a bookend to food truck season.

Julia Ireland, owner of Torched Goodness — one of Lawrence’s seven food trucks — is behind the effort. She dubbed the new event “Savor Lawrence,” with the idea that it would feature foods exclusively from Lawrence food trucks and downtown restaurants.

It said taxpayers who have appealed a tax issue to the Kansas Board of Tax Appeals and lost may appeal further to a Kansas district court and receive a “de novo” trial.

That generally means the court would hear the case anew, as if it had not been heard by any other tribunal before, with the opportunity to present new evidence and legal arguments.

Since then, however, only a handful of tax cases have been appealed

All Lawrence-based food trucks are on board for the Savor Lawrence event, Ireland said, and she wants to allow any downtown restaurant the opportunity to set up a booth.

Like the Kansas Food Truck Festival, attendees will be charged an entrance fee (Ireland says it will be around $5 to $7), and part of the proceeds will go to a local charity. The organization to receive the funds hasn’t yet been decided, Ireland said.

But the Kansas Chamber, the state’s largest business lobby group, rejected that claim.

“This was never about one taxpayer, at least as far as we and the Legislature were concerned,” said Chamber president and CEO Mike O’Neal. “It may have been about one taxpayer in the eyes of the administration, though, and we feel that comprehensive bipartisan legislation does not deserve veto treatment over an isolated battle between the state and a single taxpayer.”

Decide if you’re better with or without cheater Dear Annie: I’ve been living with my boyfriend for nine years and we have a son together.

Over the 14 years that we’ve known each other, we’ve had our share of problems, but it’s gotten worse in the last couple of years.

Two months ago, “John” totally changed, and I found out he was being unfaithful. I want to leave him, but I really have nowhere to go. So I’m just stuck here while he continues to see the other woman.

I hate being made a fool. Please tell me what you think I should do?

Thursdays are Shonda Rhimes nights Six series sign off tonight. Most will return. That says something about how TV is changing, staying the same or both. “Grey’s Anatomy” (7 p.m., ABC, TV-14) and “The Catch” (9 p.m., ABC, TV-14) wrap up their 12th and first seasons, respectively. Both have been renewed. “The Catch” did not exactly draw enormous audiences, but, like “Grey’s” and “Scandal,” it is from producer Shonda Rhimes, who has basically been given ABC’s Thursday nights to treat as her creative laboratory.

I have often found that around about the time a producer or TV creative force becomes better known than his or her shows, the shows themselves begin to suffer. It’s hard to list the number of failed series linked to Steven Bochco, David E. Kelley and Aaron Sorkin that I’ve had to review over the years. “Bordertown” shows that Fox has gone to the Seth MacFarlane well too many times.

Shonda Rhimes has yet to hit that wall. Some creative forces seem to endure. There may have been some stinkers along the way, but Aaron Spelling kept his magic touch from “Honey West” (1965) to “Charmed” (1998) — a pretty long run.

NBC doesn’t have a night devoted to one creator/producer, but it has given Dick Wolf (“Law & Order”) his own city. The familiarity of his “Chicago Fire,” “Chicago P.D.” and “Chicago Med” may have bred contempt among critics, but enough viewers have turned up for his deep dish to inspire the forthcoming NBC drama “Chicago Law.” Can “Chicago DMV” be far behind?

ABC is so happy with Rhimes that it announced that she is currently developing “Still StarCrossed.” This period melodrama follows feuding Montagues and Capulets after the double suicide of Romeo and Juliet, arguably William Shakespeare’s most enduring characters. Like Dick Wolf, some writers never go out of style.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, May 19: This year you often get into disagreements about certain issues.

You actually might enjoy these lively discussions, but make sure the other party feels the same way; otherwise, you could be creating an enemy. If you are single, you could meet someone any time before fall who proves to be an enticing and desirable match. If you are attached, you often consider going away together to keep the emotional bond between you strong. What you desire as a couple becomes a stronger possibility.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) HHH You might make demands with the full expectation of getting what you desire. Tonight: All smiles.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Your vigorous energy and charisma attract many people, but it also could push others away.

Tonight: Out late.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) HHHH You have a lot of ground to cover, and are determined to accomplish all of it. Tonight: You might not be able to choose.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You seem to be juggling a need for passion and a need for stability. Tonight: Allow more openness with a loved one.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You seem to parachute

4. If he is addicted to his smartphone, no amount of pleading will change that.

5. Once you have children, he will not suddenly be a helpful, kind father. If he was helpful and kind before, he will probably remain that way. If not, you will cry many tears.

6. Discuss handling the finances before you say “I do.” My husband made more money than me, and always considered it to be “his money.”

Budget challenges Feedback from two recent public meetings highlights some of the tough budget decisions facing city officials.

T

he opinions expressed at a couple of public meetings intended to gather input on city budget priorities help illustrate some of the challenges of crafting a spending plan for the city of Lawrence.

At both meetings, participants were asked to identify areas where they’d like to increase city spending. At the first meeting, attended by about a dozen people, priority was given to 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.

That’s a pretty hefty list, especially in a year that new City Manager Tom Markus said will have to include some “belt-tightening.”

At the second meeting — which drew about 80 participants, including a large contingent from the Justice Matters advocacy group — increased spending on affordable housing was the main focus.

The other top spending priorities the group identified were social services and mental health services. Most participants also favored bicycle and pedestrian improvements.

When pressed to identify areas where the city might reduce spending, members of the group, using stickers on a list, voted for less funding for arts and culture, parks and recreation, tourism and economic development.

Hmm. Weren’t some of those areas on the preferred list for additional spending at the first meeting? Indeed, all but tourism were.

This outlines the difficult task facing city officials. First they have to decide how representative the opinions expressed at the public meetings are of the city as a whole. In addition, they need to consider some tradeoffs. For instance, reduced emphasis on tourism might result in lower revenue from the city’s transient guest tax, which has been suggested as a possible source of money for recreation or affordable housing projects. If properly targeted, economic development spending should help build the city’s tax base and create new jobs, both of which would help the city address other issues on the spending list.

The public meetings were a useful way to collect feedback on city priorities, but the budget picture that faces city officials is far more complex than placing stickers next to preferred increases and decreases in city spending.

Especially in a year when “belt-tightening” may be required, officials will face some difficult choices.

Bud name-change toasts U.S. election Washington — Because advertising is a barometer that often accurately measures America’s psychological atmosphere, attention must be paid to this: From May 23 through the presidential election, Budweiser beer will bear a different name. Eager to do its bit to make America great again, the brewer will replace the name “Budweiser” with “America” on its 12-ounce bottles and cans.

The Financial Times says this is “a bid to capitalize on U.S. election fever.” (Before the Chicago Cubs bestrode the world like a colossus, T-shirts proclaimed “Cubs Fever: Catch it — and die.”)

A beer bottle metaphysician at the brewer of soon-tobe America says, “We are embarking on what should be the most patriotic summer that this generation has ever seen.” This refers to the once-in-a-generation, light-the-sparklers opportunity to choose between two presidential candidates roundly disliked by American majorities. It is enough to drive one to drink something stronger than beer.

Budweiser’s name change is part of an advertising campaign featuring the slogan “America is in your hands.” The brewer says this will “remind people ... to embrace the optimism upon which the country was first built.” So, between now and Nov. 8, whenever you belly up to a bar, do your patriot duty by ordering a foamy mug of America.

Nothing says “It’s morning in an America that is back

Budweiser is the ‘king of beers’ … The slogan will be replaced by ‘E Pluribus Unum.’ This is Latin for ‘Perhaps a gusher of patriotic kitsch will stanch the leakage of our market share to pestilential craft breweries.’” and standing tall” quite like beer cans festooned with Americana by AnheuserBusch InBev, a firm based in Leuven, Belgium, and run by a Brazilian.

The beer brands most familiar to Americans — Budweiser, Miller, Coors — are foreign-owned. Want to win a round of cold Americans this summer? Wager that no one in the saloon can identify the American-owned brewer with the largest market share and say what that share is. The answer is: D.G. Yuengling & Son with just 1.4 percent of the market, slightly more than Boston Beer Co., which makes the Sam Adams brand.

Years ago, historian Daniel Boorstin said that whereas Europeans went to mar-

ket to get what they want, Americans go to discover what they want. Nowadays the market comes to customers everywhere via ubiquitous advertising, precious little of which is designed to create desires for new products. Beer commercials are not supposed to make viewers thirsty or to prompt them to buy beer rather than Buicks. Rather, the commercials’ primary purpose is to defend and expand a brand’s market share.

They do this by giving particular beers distinctive personalities. By doing so, they stroke consumers’ psyches, drawing beer drinkers into what Boorstin called “consumption communities.”

Consumers are moved to covet a product less for its intrinsic qualities than its manufactured meaning. Advertising does this by reducing its information content and increasing its emotional appeals.

Budweiser is the “king of beers” — we know it is because Budweiser says it is — but will not be saying so during this advertising campaign. The slogan will be replaced by “E Pluribus Unum.” This is Latin for “Perhaps a gusher of patriotic kitsch will stanch the leakage of our market share to pestilential craft breweries.”

America has more than 4,000 craft breweries. Most American adults — 235 million of them — live within 10 miles of a local brewery.

And more than 40 percent of Americans 21-to-27 have never tasted Budweiser.

They prefer craft beers (a craft brewer ships no more than 6 million barrels a year; Budweiser shipped 16 million in 2013, down from 50 million in 1988), which perhaps explains Budweiser’s current weirdly truculent commercials, such as this: “Proudly a macro beer. It’s not brewed to be fussed over. ... It’s brewed for drinking, not dissecting. ...

Beer brewed the hard way.

Let them sip their pumpkin peach ale.” And this: “Not small. Not sipped. Not soft.

Not a fruit cup. Not imported.” Not cheerful.

Last year, craft brewers, which are increasing at a rate of almost two a day, won 12.8 percent of the $105.9 billion beer market.

And 2015 was the sixth consecutive year, and the 12th time in 15 years, in which beer’s portion of the nation’s alcohol revenue declined as more Americans drink cocktails like the characters on “Mad Men.” If, however, these aspiring Don Drapers hoist an America, they will have in their hands bottles and cans adorned with snippets of American Scripture — the Pledge of Allegiance, “The Star Spangled Banner” and “America the Beautiful.”

The psalmist said that joy cometh in the morning. Fat lot the psalmist knew. Joy cometh in the evening when you crack a cold can of America and anticipate the thrills of the looming “patriotic summer.” Go ahead. It’s 5 o’clock somewhere.

Gun sale like victory lap on boy’s grave It was not enough just to kill Sam Hose. No, they had to make souvenirs out of him.

Hose was an AfricanAmerican man lynched by a mob of some 2,000 white women and men in 1899 near the town of Newman, Ga. They did all the usual things. They stabbed him, castrated him, skinned his face, mutilated him, burned him alive.

Then they parceled out pieces of his body.

You could buy a small fragment of his bones for a quarter. A piece of his liver, “crisply cooked,” would set you back a dime. The great African-American scholar, W.E.B. DuBois, reported that Hose’s knuckles were for sale in a grocer’s window in Atlanta.

No, it wasn’t enough just to kill Sam Hose. People needed mementos of the act.

Apparently, it wasn’t enough just to kill Trayvon Martin, either.

Granted, it is not a piece of the child’s body that was recently put up for auction online by the man who killed him. George Zimmerman is offering “only” the gun that did the deed. But there is a historical resonance here as sickening as it is unmistakable.

“

George Zimmerman is offering ‘only’ the gun that did the deed. But there is a historical resonance here as sickening as it is unmistakable.”

Once again, a black life is destroyed. Once again, “justice” gives the killer a pass.

Once again, there is a barter in keepsakes of the killing.

Sam Hose was not unique.

People claimed hundreds, thousands, of trophies from the murders of African Americans. They kept bones. They kept sexual organs. They kept photographs of themselves, posed with mutilated corpses. It happened with the killings of Thomas Shipp, Abram Smith, Rubin Stacy, Laura Nelson, Claude Neal and too many more to count.

So perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised to see it happen with Trayvon.

And someone will say, yes, but isn’t there a lively trade in all sorts of murder memorabilia? One website alone offers a signed postcard from Charles Manson, a letter from Jeffrey Dahmer, pictures of Ted Bundy.

So how is this different?

Funny thing, though: All those men went to prison for what they did. Zimmerman did not. Initially, authorities couldn’t even bring themselves to arrest this self-deputized neighborhood watchman who stalked and shot an unarmed boy four years ago near Orlando.

Not that it mattered much when they did. Zimmerman went to court, but it was 17-year-old Trayvon who was on trial. A nation founded, rooted and deeply invested in the canard of native black criminality very much needed to believe Zimmerman’s improbable tale of self-defense, very much needed to find a way for the boy to be guilty of his own murder.

And so he was.

And the marketing of the gun that killed him by the man who pulled the trigger does not feel like simply another example of flagrantly

bad taste. No, it feels like a victory lap on a dead boy’s grave. It feels like America once again caught in its own lies.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal”? No we don’t. “ … with liberty and justice for all”? No there is not.

One is left breathless, not just with anger, not only with frustration, not simply with a sense of betrayal but also with a grinding fatigue at the need to, once again, ride out an assault on the basic humanness of AfricanAmerican people.

Like Sam Hose, Trayvon Martin was “thing-ified,” made into something not his singular and individual self, made into an all-purpose metaphor, the brooding black beast glaring through the night-darkened window of American conscience.

And like Sam Hose his murder is now commodified, made into a trophy for display in someone’s den.

African-American life is thereby — again — debased, and the nation, shamed. So when this thing is sold it really won’t matter who writes the check.

We all will pay the price.

For the Lawrence campus of KU, that means a $7 million cut from what had previously been approved for the upcoming fiscal year. K-State will take a $5.2 million cut. Those are both about 5.1 percent lower than what lawmakers had initially approved when they adopted a two-year budget during the 2015 legislative session.

The KU Medical Center was also targeted for a $3.7 million cut, bringing the total cut for the KU system to $10.7 million.

Brownback also ordered a 4 percent cut in state funding, or $7 million, for community colleges, technical schools and Board of Regents operations, bringing the total cut for the entire higher education system to $30.7 million “We have advocated all year for stable funding for higher education,” KU spokesman Tim Caboni said. “Unfortunately, this $30.7 million allotment represents another cut to higher education and disproportionately affects KU and K-State, despite the tremendous role they play in growing the Kansas economy. Given the magnitude of the $10.7 million reduction to KU, we will need a few days to carefully analyze its effects, which will be significant.”

The Board of Regents issued a statement after the governor’s announcement, noting that with the cuts announced Wednesday, state funding for higher education will be $100 million, or 8.6 percent less, than it was in the 2007-2008 academic year, the last year before the onset of the Great Recession.

Tuition CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

As the Regents met, across the street Gov. Sam Brownback signed the state budget and ordered additional allotment cuts to higher education, including cuts to KU that were millions more than expected.

Regents chairman Shane Bangerter broke the news immediately following the final university president’s tuition presentation.

“It appears obvious that we’ll be taking a hard look at this issue as we receive additional reductions in excess of what we expected,” Bangerter said. “Wish I had better news, but we will all deal with it and come out as strong as we can.”

Elaine Frisbie, Regents vice president for finance and administration, said the system had girded for 3 percent budget cuts when preparing tuition proposals. With cuts averaging 4

Those cuts were announced on the same day KU officials asked the Board of Regents to approve a 4 percent increase in tuition rates. It was unclear Wednesday afternoon whether Brownback’s cuts would affect that request.

The Regents said that given the additional state funding cuts announced Wednesday, more adjustments will need to be made to the tuition requests made

by KU and other universities before the board votes to approve them next month.

Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley, of Topeka, said the higher education cuts “smack of political favoritism” because the language requiring KU and K-State to shoulder a larger share of the cuts was inserted at the request of Sen. Jacob LaTurner, R-Pittsburg, whose district includes Pittsburg State University.

“LaTurner and other Republicans are trying to protect their Regents institutions at the expense of KU and K-State, which as we know are represented by Democrats,” Hensley said.

Lawmakers assumed at the time they passed the budget bill that Brownback would need to find about $92 million in spending reductions, efficiencies or new revenues in order to leave the state with a positive balance at the end of the fiscal year.

But they also inserted a proviso shielding K-12 education from any of those cuts, knowing the adequacy of school funding is currently being litigated before the Kansas Supreme Court.

Brownback chose not to use his line-item veto authority on that proviso, and so focused most of the allotment cuts on the next two largest areas of state spending, higher education and Medicaid.

The Medicaid cuts will include a 4 percent reduction

in reimbursement rates paid to doctors, clinics and other health care providers, but they will not apply to more than 90 hospitals designated as “critical access” facilities, which are smaller hospitals in rural areas that provide 24-hour emergency care services.

The Medicaid cuts also include a 4 percent reduction, or $7.2 million, in the profit margin of the three private insurance companies that operate the state’s managed care Medicaid program known as KanCare.

Budget Director Shawn Sullivan said the administration does not believe the lower reimbursement rates will result in Medicaid patients losing access to health care providers.

He said the three insurance companies will continue to maintain a network of providers that accept Medicaid payments so those patients will still have access to health care services within or near their communities.

Brownback did use his line-item veto authority to strike two other provisos lawmakers inserted into the budget.

One of those called for using about $16 million in tobacco settlement funds the state will receive next year to help repay, with interest, a $92.6 million payment into the state pension system that was delayed in April due to previous revenue shortfalls.

Brownback noted the budget also provides increased funding in certain areas, including $5.6 million for the Osawatomie and Larned hospitals, mostly for pay increases for registered nurses and mental health technicians, and $1.1 million for the Department for Children and Families to fund pay increases for social workers.

percent instead, she said it would be up to individual schools to determine whether they’ll need to amend their tuition proposals.

Any amendments to tuition proposals will come back to the board in June, Frisbie said.

For now it’s unclear whether the budget news will send KU back to the drawing board on its tuition proposals.

“Given the magnitude of the $10.7 million reduction to KU, we will need a few days to carefully analyze its effects, which will be significant,” KU vice chancellor of public affairs Tim Caboni said in a statement.

All state universities’ proposed tuition increases already are larger than they were last year, when the Legislature imposed a 3.6 percent cap on tuition increases.

For 2016-17, KU’s proposed 4 percent increase was nearly the lowest, percentage-wise. All other state universities proposed

in-state undergraduate tuition increases of 5 percent, except Emporia State University, which proposed an increase of 3.9 percent.

Under KU’s current tuition proposal, an in-state undergraduate would pay $4,743 per semester — $5,228 including required fees — to attend KU during the 2016-17 academic year.

That’s an increase of $182 — or $200 including required fees — over 2015-16.

Gray-Little and other university leaders said their tuition proposals represented a balance between quality and access. Among other financial needs, several leaders cited a need to provide faculty and staff raises, to help attract and retain the best employees.

“We’re looking at quality,” Gray-Little said. “We also realize that tuition is about money and what students have to pay.”

Trump Tower stands along 5th Avenue in Manhattan. Donald Trump won a tax battle on his headquarters in 2006.

March, the analysis of court cases, property records, and other documents across the country shows. At least five Trump companies were issued warrants totaling more than $13,000 for late or unpaid taxes in New York state just since Trump declared his candidacy in June 2015, according to state records. This spring, as Trump flew to campaign rallies around the country aboard his trademark private jet, the state of New York filed a tax warrant to try to collect $8,578 in unpaid

taxes from the Trump-owned company that owns the Boeing 757. The company has since paid that tax bill.

As recently as last week, Trump said he was “willing to pay more” taxes personally and that “taxes for the rich will go up somewhat” if he becomes president. But the lawsuits and other tax-related disputes show a different reality for his businesses.

They illustrate a pattern of systematically disputing tax bills, arguing for lower property assessments, and in some cases

11 people Trump would consider for spot on Supreme Court revealed Possibilities have one thing in common: All are conservative Eliza Collins and David Jackson USA TODAY

Who would Donald Trump put on the Supreme Court? There are 11 options, all of them conservative.

Wednesday, Trump released the names of 11 people he would consider nominating to the high court if he became president, a list he said is “based on constitutional principles, with input from highly respected conservatives and Republican Party leadership.”

The list, in alphabetical order: uSteven Colloton of Iowa uAllison Eid of Colorado uRaymond Gruender of Missouri

Allison Eid

Joan Larsen

uThomas Hardiman of Pennsylvania uRaymond Kethledge of Michigan uJoan Larsen of Michigan uThomas Lee of Utah uWilliam Pryor of Alabama uDavid Stras of Minnesota uDiane Sykes of Wisconsin uDon Willett of Texas Colloton, Sykes and Pryor are federal appeals court judges appointed by the last Republican president, George W. Bush, and have long been discussed as potential high court picks by the next GOP chief executive.

Sykes is the ex-wife of Charlie Sykes, a conservative Wisconsin talk show host who criticized Trump during the state’s primary last month.

Three other judges in the group also sit on federal appeals courts: Gruender, Hardiman and Kethledge.

The list includes five members of various state courts: Eid, Larsen, Lee, Stras and Willett.

These jurists have questioned Supreme Court decisions affirming abortion and gay marriage rights, and they tend to favor business interests.

The Supreme Court is a major election issue in the wake of Justice Antonin Scalia’s death in February. President Obama nominated appeals Judge Merrick Garland to fill Scalia’s slot, but Senate Republicans blocked a confirmation vote to await results of the general election in November.

Trump said in March that he would release the names of judicial nominees to allay conservative groups’ concerns about his commitment to their cause. He said Scalia was “a person whom I held in the highest regard.”

New Palestinian museum missing one thing: The exhibits Debut shows ‘we are still here,’ Abbas says Shira Rubin

Special for USA TODAY BIRZEIT, WEST BANK

A $24 million Palestinian Museum of Art, History and Culture that opened Wednesday showcases a beautiful building with sweeping views. All that’s missing are the exhibits.

It’s an unfortunate metaphor for a people long in search of a national identity and homeland.

Still, Palestinians went ahead with a festive celebration mark-

ing the empty museum’s debut to “tell the world, the entire world, that we are here, that we are still here, and we will continue to be here to build our independent state,” Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said.

“We have been planted here since the dawn of history,” Abbas said.

The 43,000-square-foot space was designed by the Dublinbased architectural firm Heneghan Peng in the style of the terraced hills of the West Bank. It has been hailed by Palestinian leaders as a beacon of optimism in a territory under Israeli occupation. Completion of the exhib-

its has been delayed, in part because the museum’s director resigned last December over disagreements with the museum’s management. With him went the first exhibit, “Never Part,” which showcased personal items of Palestinian refugees to showcase their heritage.

Museum Chairman Omar Qattan said that after years of postponements, the decision was made to go ahead with the opening “for something affirmative in the midst of all this negative energy.”

“It will be even more special when we launch our programs later this year,” he said.

SHIRA RUBIN, SPECIAL FOR USA TODAY

The Palestinian Museum has been hailed by Palestinian leaders as a symbol of optimism.

The opening was timed to coincide with the week in which Palestinians mark the 68th anniversary of the nakba, “catastrophe” in Arabic, a reference to the creation of Israel in 1948, which led to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.

The launch comes amid growing animosity between Israelis and Palestinians. Since last fall, young Palestinians have been responsible for more than 100 knife attacks and other assaults on Israelis. Peace negotiations between the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority have been dormant.

Trump open to N. Korea nuclear talks ‘I would speak to him,’ presumptive GOP nominee says Kim Hjelmgaard @khjelmgaard USA TODAY

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said he was open to the idea of holding nuclear talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, a move that would signal a sharp shift in American diplomatic policy toward the isolated Asian country.

“I would speak to him. I would have no problem speaking to him,” Trump said. The presumptive GOP nominee also said he would put pressure on China, one of the few nations to support Pyongyang economically and financially, to try to stop North Korea’s nuclear program.

“China can solve that problem with one meeting or one phone call,” Trump said. He made the comments during an interview Tuesday with the Reuters news agency in his office at Trump Tower in New York. He did not

nies paid some amount of taxes.

The disputes surrounding Trump’s business taxes are uncharted territory for the presidential nominee of a major party.

The GOP’s 2012 nominee, Mitt Romney, also had extensive business interests as the leader of a private-equity fund. But Trump has a network of complicated real estate and other investments, and some of the tax disputes are ongoing.

Trump has acknowledged that he tries to pay as little taxes as possible, and the public records across the country shed light on how he does it. His businesses regularly minimize the value of his properties for tax purposes in documents rarely seen by the public. Publicly, including in his presidential financial disclosure report, Trump’s team declares many of those same properties are worth tens of millions of dollars more.

He’s fought tax collectors to lower the assessed values of his luxury golf courses in Briarcliff, N.Y., and Jupiter, Fla. Yet on his presidential financial disclosure report, he valued each at more than $50 million.

New Jersey. In some cases, Trump’s businesses have disputed tax assessments; in others, they have simply not paid the tax bill until after the government took additional action.

In New York, for example, there are dozens of tax warrants against Trump businesses. Tax warrants are filed only after the state has exhausted all other options to collect what’s owed.

“You have to ignore us to end up with a tax warrant,” said Geoff Gloak, spokesman for the state Department of Taxation and Finance. “We try to work with taxpayers to resolve the debt, long before it becomes a warrant.”

If the tax warrant is ignored, the state can choose to take the matter to court — and in some cases has.

In addition to the five tax warrants since his announcement, there are additional New York state tax warrants dating to the years before Trump became a candidate, including $1,580 in unpaid taxes in 2010 for Trump Mortgage, his failed mortgage venture, and $1,747 in unpaid taxes in early 2015 against Trump Entrepreneur Initiative, once known as the troubled Trump University, which was later paid.

Among other tax disputes involving Trump entities: uTrump Mortgage owes federal taxes from 2006 and 2007 totaling more than $4,800, according to two federal tax liens filed in New York. uTrump’s businesses have sued the New York City Tax Commission 55 times from the mid-1990s through 2011, disputing the city’s property assessment values on everything from apartment complexes once owned by his father to his core buildings and companies. uTrump-related companies

have become embroiled in disputes over sales taxes owed to New York state and New York City. Tax warrants on file in New York County court found that over the past 27 years, Trump entities owed about $300,000 in back taxes, which were eventually paid.

The battles can save Trump millions of dollars. In 2006, Trump won a ruling on his 58story headquarters at Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan. It was the sixth time since 1999 that his appeals against the Tax Commission reached the courtroom, records show. The net result was about a 10% reduction over 10 years on the building — worth about $3 million to Trump.

Alan Garten, general counsel to the Trump Organization, said he was unaware of the particulars of the tax warrant cases. He said disputes can arise over how one calculates sales-tax liabilities.

“It happens all the time,” he

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump arrives at the headquarters of the Republican National Committee for a meeting with Speaker of the House Paul Ryan on May 12. said. “And some of the charges could have been mistaken.”

Real estate developers often appeal assessments, and Morris Ellison, a commercial real estate tax attorney based in Charleston, S.C., said it’s difficult to compare one organization’s volume of property tax appeals vs. another’s.

Garten said the companies do what any property owners have the right to do: challenge their property’s assessment to make sure they are fairly taxed.

“We are a business, and we are in the business of making money,” he said. “Why should it be any different if we think the assessment is incorrect? It would be irresponsible if we didn’t. It’s got to be fair.”

Trump has been particularly aggressive by any measure, acknowledging it’s part of his business strategy.

“I fight like hell to pay as little as possible,” he said at a New York news conference announcing his own tax plan in September. “I fight like hell always, because it’s an expense. And you know, I feel ... and I fight, I have the best lawyers and the best accountants, and I fight, and I pay.

But it’s an expense.”

Trump’s boasts about his wealth have sometimes undercut his attempts to slash his taxes. In 1985, Trump scooped up Mar-aLago, the opulent estate built by Marjorie Merriweather Post in Palm Beach, Fla., for $10 million, bragging in his 1989 book, The Art of the Deal, that it was a sweet deal, worth far more than he paid.

When the property was assessed at $11.5 million and later $17 mil-

lion, Trump objected. Litigation dragged on until 1993 over the tax bills.

A settlement hinged on Trump agreeing not to develop the Mar-a-Lago land into individual lots, said Jay Jacknin, outside counsel for Palm Beach County’s appraisal’s office. Last year, the county assessed the property at about $20 million — though Trump’s federal financial disclosure form values it at “more than $50 million.”

Similarly, just up the road in Jupiter, Fla., Trump bought the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club and

North Korea, but there is no contact at the presidential level.

No serving U.S. president has ever met with a North Korean leader, although Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton met with predecessors of Kim Jong Un after they left office.

North Korea held nuclear tests in 2006, 2009, 2013 and 2016, according to the Nuclear Threat Initiative, a global security organization. Those tests have led to a series of sanctions by the United Nations.

Jake Sullivan, an adviser to Hillary Clinton, the Democratic front-runner, pounced on Trump’s remarks.

“Let me get this straight,” Sullivan said. “Donald Trump insults the leader of our closest ally, then turns around and says he’d love to talk to Kim Jong Un?” Sullivan was referring to Trump’s recent feud with British Prime Minister David Cameron, who has refused to back down from calling Trump’s proposed Muslim ban “divisive, stupid and wrong.”

Trump hit back at Cameron this week, saying it “looks like we’re not going to have a very good relationship.”

Spa in 2012 for a reported $5 million, then renovated it. For the past three years, his team has appealed the assessed value, of $13.7 million as of 2015. In his financial disclosure forms, Trump claims that the course on 285 acres is worth “more than $50 million” and that it throws off more than $12 million in revenue.

In Westchester County, N.Y., Trump has taken an aggressive approach toward the town of Ossining regarding the taxable value of Trump National Golf Club in Briarcliff Manor.

The battle gained national prominence, after an investigation in September 2015 by The Journal News, which is part of the USA TODAY NETWORK, of the club’s audacious bid to slash its taxable value by 90%.

Town Assessor Fernando Gonzalez valued the 140-acre complex at $14.3 million (a valuation since increased to $15.1 million) — but Trump’s team countered that it was worth $1.4 million. For perspective, a three-bedroom villa built at Trump National’s 16th hole on a separate tax parcel sold in 2005 for $2.4 million and was recently on the market for almost $2 million.

Trump’s claimed value would slash the $471,000 in taxes he owes to the town, village county and its school district to $47,000.

Residents are outraged. “What he’s claiming is way off,” said Briarcliff Manor homeowner Steve Cohen. “I see people playing there. The club looks fabulous. It certainly isn’t falling into disrepair.”

The Trump team’s lowball valuation follows a pattern similar to other assessment battles. His camp’s estimate appears to be a mere opening bid in a negotiation.

Trump’s attorney, Jeff Rodner, acknowledges that he is sure the property is worth more than the $1.4 million.

“Maybe it’s worth $12 million, maybe $13 million,” Rodner told The Journal News. “Now, my value is my opinion until it’s proven otherwise.”

The Briarcliff property is among 20 developments on Trump’s financial disclosure report that he values at “more than $50 million” — accounting for $1 billion of his net worth that Trump claims totals $10 billion.

Food shortages feed Venezuela’s unrest Economy is unraveling amid drought, low oil prices Peter Wilson

Special for USA TODAY LA VICTORIA , VENEZUELA

Unemployed construction worker Roberto Sanchez could hear a time bomb ticking as he waited in line with 300 people outside a grocery store this week, hoping that corn meal or rice might be delivered later in the afternoon.

He fears that Venezuela could explode at any minute into political and economic chaos.

“We have no food. They are cutting power four hours a day.

Crime is soaring. And (President Nicolás) Maduro blames everyone but himself for the mess we find ourselves in,” said Sanchez, 36. “We can’t go on like this forever. Something has to give.”

The question is what will give first. As the economy spirals into deeper disarray, protests aimed at driving the unpopular president out of office are growing. Maduro responded over the weekend by declaring a 60-day state of emer-

gency to combat what he said are U.S.-sponsored efforts to overthrow his socialist government.

The confrontation has spilled into the streets. On Wednesday, riot police in Caracas clashed with thousands of protesters seeking a recall referendum against Maduro. The anti-government protest was the third in a week.

The unrest mounts as the country faces continuing shortages of essential food, medicine and toiletries. All the bakeries here in La Victoria, 55 miles southwest of Caracas, stopped producing bread last week because there is no flour.

“People are hunting dogs and cats in the streets, and pigeons in the plazas to eat,” Ramon Muchacho, mayor of the Caracas district of Chacao, said this month in a tweet that was reported in many newspapers.

prices and tight limits on dollar purchases that have cut off vital food and most other imports. The result has been a plunging economy and the world’s highest inflation rate — above 700%.

Because Venezuela imports 70% of the goods it consumes, including most medicine, growing shortages of medicines for such ailments as cancer, diabetes, hypertension and HIV has created dire situations.

“My 4-year-old daughter is dying of cancer, and there’s no medicine here to treat her,” said Luis Avila, 42, a farm worker outside this industrial city. “What am I supposed to do? What can I do? Maduro has destroyed this country.”

An epic drought also has gripped this nation that relies mostly on hydroelectric dams, sparking rolling blackouts and water shortages. Hospitals have had to postpone operations and procedures because of power outages. And government employees now work only two days a week to conserve electricity.

Voters in Venezuela gave the opposition a landslide victory in December’s congressional elections, and polls now show a majority of the country wants Maduro out as president. His term expires in 2019.

“Venezuela is a bomb that could explode at any moment,” opposition leader Henrique Capriles warned during a Saturday rally.

Maduro, the handpicked successor of the late Hugo Chávez, discounted the chances of a recall referendum being held this year.

“They don’t want a referendum, they want a coup,” Maduro said this week during meeting with foreign journalists. “We have no obligations to hold any type of referendum in this country.”

Electronic prescribing of controlled substances reduces fraud and prevents patients from getting multiple prescriptions for the same drug, but only three states require it and one doesn’t even enforce its law.

As much of the USA struggles with record overdose deaths, often from opioid painkillers, industry officials say this legislative lapse needs to be remedied as part of a broad drug policy.

Although paper prescriptions were once considered safer, all states now allow e-prescribing for drugs, including opioid painkillers and other controlled substances, yet only 7% of doctors do so, according to Surescripts, which links doctors with pharmacies for e-prescribing.

Between 3% and 9% of opioid abusers use forged prescriptions, says Paul Uhrig, Surescripts’ chief legal officer.

E-prescribing would prevent that and many of the overdose deaths caused by so-called doctor-shopping — people who get narcotic prescriptions from several physicians, he says.

Databases known as Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs show doctors all controlled-substance prescriptions patients get and should be linked with the electronic health records (EHRs) that allow doctors to e-prescribe, health IT experts agree.

That may change soon as there’s new pressure — including a push by insurer Cigna — for doctors to check state databases before they write prescriptions for controlled substances.

All states and Washington, D.C., have the drug monitoring databases, but fewer than five require their use. If these databases were fully used, Cigna CEO David Cordani says, about 97% of the people at high risk of addiction could have been identified.

Most were for heroin, fentanyl or opioid painkillers. In April, the state became the third to require EPCS. After January 2017, physicians who don’t use electronic prescriptions also will be subject to fines, jail time or both. uMinnesota. New data from the Minnesota Department of Health show drug overdose deaths jumped 11% from 516 in 2014 to 572 last year.

The state was first to require eprescribing but the legislation doesn’t allow enforcement or penalties for doctors that don’t adhere.

Just 3.5% of doctors were using electronic prescribing for controlled substances (EPCS) this year, Surescripts says.

Marty LaVenture, director of the Minnesota office of health IT and e-health, says the health department will consider this summer which “policy levers could be used to encourage full adoption and use of e-prescribing capabilities,” including possible financial incentives.

Experts emphasize that e-prescribing can create problems and hardly solves all of them.

“It’s another tool to help make it harder to get some of these drugs, but the flip side is that if they have a hard time getting the prescription, that’s when many switch to heroin,” says Becky Vaughn, addiction services vice president at the National Council for Behavioral Health.

Caryl Brymialkiewicz, chief data officer for the Department of Health and Human Services’ inspector general, says she is “cautiously optimistic” about eprescribing’s potential, but says there still might be ways (people) are going to manipulate the system.”

All but one of the nation’s 20 largest cities saw its population grow last year, with metropolises such as Austin, Denver and Houston among those seeing the most significant growth, according to new U.S. Census Bureau data released Thursday.

With the exception of New York City, each of the 15 cities that gained the greatest number of people between 2014 and 2015 were in the South or the West.

Overall, growth in the nation’s biggest cities slowed to a five-year low of 1.03% for the last year, but the growth rate is still nearly double the average annual growth rate of 0.56% that cities saw from 2000-2010, noted William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution in Washington.

Mitsubishi President Tetsuro Aikawa said Wednesday in Japan he would relinquish his EPA job. He has not Aikawa admitted wrongdoing, but in Japanese business culture, leaders sometimes resign as a show of remorse over company missteps.

“We’re at a seminal moment for AI.” Google CEO Sundar Pichai

The Federal Reserve put complacent markets on notice Wednesday: It could well raise interest rates next month.

Most Fed policymakers said in April they would favor an interest rate hike at a June 14-15 meeting if the economy rebounds from a first-quarter slump, the labor market advances and inflation picks up, according to minutes of the Fed’s April 26-27 meeting.

The officials appeared to place a greater likelihood on a June rate increase than financial markets, who had put less than 20% odds on a move next month before Wednesday’s release. The Fed lifted its key rate in December for the first time in nine years but has held it steady since amid U.S. and global economic weakness and volatile markets.

saging app that lets consumers chat with one another, and Google assistant, which can answer questions as well as perform tasks. Allo features Duo, a video chat platform that lets users see the caller before answering.

“This is clearly how Google makes products now with AI baked into them,” Search EngineLand founding editor Danny Sullivan said, alluding to Home and Google assistant, a voice-enabled assistant for users to conduct a two-way dialogue with Google. “Google is now smart enough with machine learning to talk back to us.”

The ability of AI to transform tasks into a two-way dialogue at home, work and at play “becomes very compelling if it can complete some of the tasks we want,” Sullivan said. “Google calls it the next evolution of search. And this really is a big deal.”

The cascade of AI-friendly products, which leverage Google’s lead in search, is a “smart bid” to maintain, if not extend, its grip on the AI market, said Carolina Milanesi, an analyst at Creative Strategies. “It’s smart how Google is masking AI bot interaction in a seamless, transparent manner.”

Google’s AI strategy comes at a pivotal point for the world’s most valuable company, which has been tech’s most-wired firm.

The 11th edition of I/O — originally held in Mountain View in 2006 but held the past nine years in San Francisco — is the first since Pichai, who previously headed Android and Chrome development, was thrust into the CEO role after a corporate makeover that created the Alphabet parent company last year.

Fed Chair Janet Yellen, center, is flanked by Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer, left, and Fed governor Daniel Tarullo at a meeting May 3.

“Most participants judged that if incoming data were consistent with economic growth picking up the second quarter, labor market conditions continue to strengthen and inflation makes progress toward the (Fed’s) 2% objective, then it likely would be appropriate” to raise the Fed’s benchmark rate in June, the minutes said.

It’s uncertain whether the economy will cooperate. Economic growth appears to have to accelerated in the current quarter after growing just 0.5% at an annual rate early in the year, with retail sales gaining. And a recent climb in oil prices and fall in the dollar have given “many” Fed officials confidence inflation will rise.

But job growth slowed in April.

Policymakers voiced concern last month that markets weren’t realistic about the odds of a June hike. After the minutes release, fed futures gave it a 34% chance, from 15% Tuesday.

With China’s economy stabilizing and stocks rebounding from a sell-off early this year, “participants generally saw the risks stemming from global economic and financial developments as having diminished” but “as continuing to warrant close monitoring,” Some officials said they’re concerned about a U.K. referendum to withdraw from the European Union, scheduled about a week after the Fed meeting.

GMOs may be safe, but skeptics say otherwise Hadley Malcolm @hadleypdxdc USA TODAY

Research may prove genetically modified organisms are safe to eat, but the swelling trend toward non-GMO foods shows many skeptical shoppers don’t care.

Data show customers want non-GMO foods, and companies will continue to face pressure to introduce non-GMO products to meet demand.

A report out Tuesday that took two years to compile concluded genetically modified crops do not adversely affect human health. A committee convened by the National Academies of Sciences, En-

gineering and Medicine reviewed more than 900 studies and 20 years worth of data. Despite its thoroughness, it’s not likely to drastically alter consumer opinion, says Darren Seifer, food and beverage industry analyst at NPD Group. The reason: At the crux of the debate over GMOs is the fact it’s one largely “based on fear, not logic,” Seifer says. And the stakes are high when people feel like they don’t know what they’re eating.

“Consumers are looking for purity in their food,” Seifer says.

“Particularly for those that try to find that authenticity in their food, (the report) is not going to phase them.”

Non-GMO advocates reiterat-

Concern over GMO ingredients in U.S. food has grown in recent years.

ed that thought. A Los Angelesbased online subscription company that exclusively sells nonGMO products to about 250,000 customers around the country says the report is only the latest

in a string, with many conflicting when it comes to their findings.

“We feel like it’s too early to know if it’s safe,” says Gunnar Lovelace, co-CEO of Thrive Market. “We are taking a huge risk in inserting GMOs into the food stream at the rate we are.”

The report found genetically engineered crops have not caused increases in cancer, obesity, autism or a number of other health risks.

Sales of foods labeled as nonGMO have gone from $12.9 billion in 2012 to $21.2 billion in the year ended April 30, according to Nielsen.

And yet, most people don’t understand what genetically modified organisms are. In a survey

NPD conducted in 2013, when asked to describe in their own words what GMO means based on what they’d heard or read, the most common response NPD got was, “I don’t know.”

Non-GMO products make up a very small portion of the overall food supply. An analysis last month of products in grocery store aisles by data company Label Insight found non-GMO labels were most prevalent in categories such as diet and nutrition, where just 1.2% of products had the label, and snacks, cookies and candy, where 1.1% of products were labeled non-GMO.

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

Get out your calendars and pens. The Federal Reserve made clear in the minutes of its April meeting that it might hike interest rates again in June if — and it’s a big if — economic growth picks up, the job market continues to get better and inflation moves closer to its 2% objective.

If the Fed is telling the truth — and isn’t just hinting at a coming hike for the purpose of ridding the market of its complacency — here are some key dates and economic data points to watch: May 19 (Thursday): The May reading on manufacturing from the Philadelphia region.

Consumer products firm’s growth likely to remain in neutral Q: Can I ‘clean up’ on P&G stock?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Procter & Gamble is known for being stable. But in a world that values growth, stability means investors haven’t been mopping up profits.

The diversified consumer products company’s shares have been unchanged the past 12 months. Long term, P&G stock has done better, rising 20% the past five years. But the Standard & Poor’s 500 has risen 53% during the same time.

P&G’s 3.3% dividend yield tops the S&P 500’s roughly 2% yield, but not by enough to make up the difference.

The trouble with P&G, in investors’ eyes, is the fact it isn’t growing. Revenue the past 12 months was $71.3 billion, 12% below where it was in fiscal 2011. Net income is down by about 23% during the same period.

Reinvigorating growth will be difficult for the company as it faces headwinds.

Fiscal 2016 revenue likely will decline 7.5% as the company is dealing with an estimated 6.5% hit from foreign currency translations and a 2.5% hit from asset sales, according to a report by Joe Agnese at S&P Global Market Intelligence.

More innovation and marketing is needed, Agnese says.

But don’t expect P&G to “clean up.”

Analysts think the stock will be worth $84.91 in 18 months, just 6% higher than Wednesday’s price of about $80 a share.

Lawsuit accuses Bank of America of running ‘bro’s club’ Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

A female Bank of America executive has filed a federal lawsuit accusing the nation’s largest bank of misleading trading partners, discriminating against her based on gender and condoning a “bro’s club” workplace with “all-male sycophants.”

Megan Messina, 42, a managing director and co-head of the bank’s structured credit products business, alleged she was forced to take a leave from her job in

JUSTIN LANE, EPA

April after she had repeatedly complained about unlawful trading practices and unfair work and pay treatment she received.

“In essence, BofA is punishing the victim by excluding her from work in a real and visible way,” Messina charged in the 41-page New York City federal court complaint filed Monday.

“We take all allegations of in-

appropriate behavior seriously and investigate them thoroughly,” Bank of America said in a statement.

According to the lawsuit, Bank of America improperly traded ahead of Citibank’s internal investing group — a practice known as front-running — on March 2016 transactions involving collateralized loan obligations. Messina raised objections to a superior but was told “he did not care what she thought,” the lawsuit alleged.

Additionally, bond giant Pimco complained in 2015 after Bank of America’s head of rates trading

altered trading blotter data to “cover up his material lies and misrepresentations” in earlier conversations with Pimco about prices, the lawsuit charged.

Separately, the lawsuit alleged that Messina, a single mother of three, was subjected to illegal gender discrimination “from day 1” after she assumed her latest Bank of America position in February 2015.

In her first conversation with her new boss, he told her “I don’t understand what you do,” and asked, “Have you colored your hair?” and “Have your eyes always been that blue?” the lawsuit

charged.

The superior “has a long history of endearing himself exclusively to men” in a “Bros-Only Club,” the lawsuit alleged.

Messina learned that she and other women were paid less than male employees who had equivalent jobs and experience, and sometimes lesser performance, the lawsuit charged. Her 2015 bonus totaled $1.55 million, far less than the $5.5 million awarded to the male co-head of her department, the lawsuit claimed.

In all, Messina contended she was due $8.25 million for underpayment over a period of years.

CITY, CALIF. Zac Efron recalls cruising his bike around sunny Venice, Calif., in May 2014, when he was hailed down by an admirer.

“It was this cool-looking dude who recognized me. And he said, ‘I saw you in Neighbors last night and that was amazing,’ ” Efron recalls, beaming.

“Man, it was the happiest moment of my life when he gave me a five-part handshake. It was like an initiation.”

The outrageous comedy was an initiation of sorts for Efron, now 28, showing that the Disney Channel High School Musical star could bring the R-rated bawdiness onscreen. He succeeded: Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising hits theaters Friday.

Sitting outside a replica Delta Psi Neighbors fraternity house on the Universal Studios lot, Efron appreciates his new, naughty niche.

“Comedy is where I fit in right now. This has been a dream year,” Efron says.

“For several years in my early 20s, I kept saying, ‘No, no, no’ to projects. It was a lot of waiting for good material and kind of a depressing time. It wasn’t really working.”

Neighbors did work, however initially shocking for fans of his more wholesome image.

Efron kept up with star and producer Seth Rogen and injected sincerity into his rowdy fraternity leader Teddy — now the emotional center of Neighbors 2 as he struggles to move beyond college life.

Nicholas Stoller, who directed both Neighbors films, says Efron has comedy chops, and those UNIVERSAL

chiseled looks don’t hurt.

“There are very few people who look that way that are very funny. Zac brings both things,” Stoller says. “It’s scary for the normal-looking comedians trying to ply their trade.”

Efron also is willing to revel in the raunch while bringing what Stoller calls “hyper-preparedness.” Two days before a comical male revue-style dance for Neighbors 2, Efron discovered there were no choreography plans in place. Stoller assumed Efron would improvise.

“That was like ‘Oh boy,’ ” Efron says. “You cannot just dance.

That’s not how you do it.”

CBS, joining ABC, is bulking up on comedy with an eight-sitcom lineup once Thursday Night Football ends its early-fall run.

Sitcoms starring Kevin James, Matt LeBlanc and Joel McHale, a new take on MacGyver and a drama starring NCIS’s Michael Weatherly are highlights of the schedule, which will see fall once again start off with The Big Bang Theory on Mondays as a launch pad for new comedies before it shifts to its usual Thursday home.

James stars as retired cop in Kevin Can Wait, and LeBlanc plays a contractor dad in Man With a Plan, another comedy. And Weatherly will play a young version of Dr. Phil McGraw as a trial consultant in Bull, which gets toprated NCIS as a lead-in on Tuesdays. McHale won the post-Big Bang slot on Thursday with The Great Indoors as an adventure journalist who becomes boss to a group of “eager Millennials.” And Pure Genius is a new medical drama starring Dermot Mulroney.

Other schedule moves include

Faster than you can say hunko-mergency, Efron dialed a choreographer friend who jetted to the Atlanta set. The final routine to the song Booty Loose is a show-stopper.

“I learned some simple Magic Mike-esque moves,” Efron says.

“And it all worked out.”

Now that he has proved he can own the movie comedies, Efron says he’s ready to show off more career moves. He’ll appear next with Adam DeVine in the R-rated Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, out July 8, and he’s now filming the debauched movie version of Baywatch with Dwayne Johnson for release in May 2017.

“I’m excited for my next adventure,” Efron says. “Whether it’s drama, musical or who knows? Something different to shake it up.”

Happy return

Michael Porter Jr. and Trae Young, two of the top basketball prospects in the recruiting Class of 2017, will be playing for Mokan Elite EYBL at this weekend’s KC Classic at Sports Pavilion Lawrence, 247Sports reports.

Porter, a 6-foot-8 junior small forward from Tolton Catholic High in Columbia, Mo., who is ranked No. 2 nationally by Rivals.com, has KU on his list of schools.

University of Washington, however, recently became the overwhelming favorite to land Porter after his dad, Michael Sr., accepted a coaching position on UW coach Lorenzo Romar’s Huskies staff.

Young, a 6-1 junior point guard from Norman (Okla.)

North High who is ranked No. 13, also has KU on his list of schools. He’s said he wants to be a package deal with Porter, but in the past had not listed UW. Young, who also is considering Oklahoma, Kentucky, Texas and others, is the son of former Texas Tech standout Rayford Young.

Mokan Elite EYBL will play the Michigan Threat at 3:30 p.m. Saturday in the pavilion. The tourney will begin at 7 p.m. Friday and run through late Sunday afternoon. For tourney schedule information, go to hardwoodevents.com l

Embiid toasts Sixers: Former Kansas University center Joel Embiid, who hasn’t played a minute for the Philadelphia 76ers since being taken No. 3 overall in the 2014 NBA Draft, took to Twitter on Tuesday night to rejoice upon learning Philly had won the 2016 NBA Draft lottery.

“Celebrating with a Pitcher of Shirley Temples #ShirleyTemplesdidthis,” Embiid tweeted.

He either was mocking a Sports Illustrated article of a year ago that said he loved to drink Shirley Temples by the pitcher, or actually had a drink or two to celebrate the lowly Sixers netting the No. 1 pick in the June 23 Draft.

Embiid also Tweeted, “The #3 Pick from the 2014 draft is gonna be ready, too … Let’s get it.”

And also … “Trust the process…Hopefully the last time we’re in the lottery.”

On Wednesday, Sixers coach Brett Brown told radio station 975TheFanatic that results of a scan on Embiid’s twice-surgically repaired right foot came back “fantastic.” To watch highlights of a recent Embiid workout

FSHS tops Lions, heads back to state

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Free State High senior Hunter Gudde is known for his dominance as a pitcher.

But with a spot in the Class 6A state tournament on the line Wednesday, the Firebirds relied on his bat and his glove.

Playing against Lawrence High for the third time in eight

days, Gudde hit a two-run single in the first inning, and it was all the Firebirds needed for a 2-0 victory in the regional championship at FSHS. One out away from a second straight trip to the state tournament, FSHS right fielder Gudde saw a line drive into the gap and took off running to his right.

He didn’t have much time

to think, and the sun was in his eyes, but he refused to give up on the play, extending his body for a spectacular diving catch to clinch a spot at state. Senior second baseman Mikey Corbett jumped in the air in celebration, and the defending state champion Firebirds sprinted off the bench and ended up in a dogpile in shallow right field.

“I didn’t think I’d be able to catch it, but I just kind of laid out, and I was thankful I caught it,” Gudde said.

It was an old-fashioned pitcher’s duel between Free State senior Trevor Munsch and Lawrence senior Daonte Lowery, both left-handers.

Please see BASEBALL, page 3C

Firebird Munsch masterful on mound

FREE STATE PITCHER TREVOR MUNSCH DELIVERS to LHS in the fifth inning.

The pitcher who took the mound each time Trevor Munsch left it Wednesday was so sharp that one false move could have been fatal for the Free State High senior bound for Oklahoma on baseball scholarship.

Munsch, a long, lean lefthander, was up to the task, pitching a three-hit shutout to send the Firebirds to state with a 2-0 victory against Lawrence High.

Munsch didn’t walk a batter and struck out six in a crisply played baseball game by both sides on Free State’s diamond.

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Munsch missed some time because of a sore biceps earlier in the season and faced LHS last week on his road to recovery. He encountered mixed results in that game at Hoglund Ballpark, a start

that enabled him to knock off the rust and prepare him for Wednesday’s gem. He was back at his sharpest in the well-attended regional final played under the lights.

“There’s a reason he’s going to Oklahoma next year,” Free State coach Mike Hill said. “He’s a really, really good pitcher.”

So is right-hander Hunter Gudde, who made a spectacular diving catch for the final out of Munsch’s shutout.

by Olathe North’s Alyssa Jaso for an out during O-North’s 4-1 regional victory on Wednesday in Topeka.

Topeka — For five innings Wednesday afternoon, Olathe North’s softball hitters couldn’t figure out a way to get a run across home plate.

Lawrence High sophomore pitcher Zoe Brewer and the Lions’ defense combined to eliminate even the most certain opportunities, and the favored Eagles

trailed by a run with just six outs remaining.

What came next for ONorth, however, erased Lawrence’s earlier potency.

Junior Alexis Hodapp and senior Courtney Nemechek smacked back-to-back home runs, as the Eagles scored all of their runs in the sixth inning of a 4-1 regional semifinal victory.

“With a team that hits like that with those middle hitters,” LHS coach Joe Dee

Tarbutton said of O-North, which finished third in the Sunflower League, “you know you never can relax until the end of a game.”

Brewer retired 11 straight batters during a stretch from the second inning to the fifth at Washburn Rural High and only allowed three hits before the sixth. That’s when the Eagles finally broke through and ended Please see SOFTBALL, page 3C

Source: Knicks pursue Hornacek New York — The New York Knicks want Jeff Hornacek as their next coach.

The team is working on a deal to hire Hornacek, a person with knowledge of the details told the Associated Press on Wednesday.

President of Basketball Operations Phil Jackson has had discussions with the former Phoenix Suns coach and there is mutual interest, but they have not begun negotiations on a contract, the person said on condition of anonymity because details of the coaching search are private.

Bleacher Report first reported that the Knicks would hire Hornacek.

The Knicks finished the season with Kurt Rambis as interim coach after Jackson fired Derek Fisher in February. Jackson also met with former Cleveland coach David Blatt and former Indiana coach Frank Vogel before turning his attention to Hornacek.

Hornacek went 101-112 in 2 1/2 seasons in Phoenix before he was fired Feb. 1 with a 14-35 record. He led the Suns to a surprising 48-34 record in his first season, when they almost made the playoffs with a team that was expected to be one of the worst in the league, but the team was in one of the worst stretches in its history when he was dismissed.

He was an unexpected candidate, given Jackson’s stated intention to hire someone with whom he had a relationship. Hornacek never played for or worked under Jackson, who won an NBA-record 11 championships as a coach.

Durant provided a big assist during Curry’s flurry. He fouled the superstar point guard on a three-point attempt with 6:33 to go in the third, then swatted his hand in disgust at the call and received a technical — a costly four-point play.

While Durant hit a fadeaway jumper moments later, Curry answered by knocking down consecutive long shots, one a three, to make it 76-59 with 5:47 to go in the third.

NBA Finals MVP Andre Iguodala brought some timely pizazz off the bench. He missed his first five field-goal tries before a beautiful double-clutch, no-look layup in the final minute of the first half and then another basket the next time down that put the Warriors up 57-49 at halftime. He wound up with 14 points for his fourth double-digit scoring performance of the postseason.

GOLDEN STATE FORWARD DRAYMOND GREEN, BOTTOM RIGHT, HOLDS ONTO THE BALL under pressure from Oklahoma City center Enes Kanter (11) and forward Kevin Durant during the first half the Warriors’ 118-91 victory on Wednesday in Oakland, Calif.

Oakland, Calif. (ap) — Once Stephen Curry finally gathered himself and got up following a scary first-quarter dive into the stands, everybody inside Oracle Area could take a breath, sit back and watch the MVP put on a spectacular shooting show.

Festus Ezeli scored 12 points for his first game in double digits these playoffs, Marreese Speights had 13 points off the bench, and Golden State didn’t falter after halftime the way it did two nights earlier in losing Game 1 108-102. The Warriors built a 20-point lead late in the third and kept pushing.

It was a stark contrast from Monday, when Golden State allowed 38 third-quarter points and was held to playoff lows of 42 second-half points and 14 in the fourth quarter. Oklahoma City’s 14-point comeback in Game 1 was the largest against the Warriors this postseason.

Curry said he couldn’t wait for another chance after dropping the series opener for the first time since 2013. Then, he took out any remaining frustrations from the loss on the Thunder.

BOSTON’S XANDER BOGAERTS, FRONT, IS FORCED OUT by Kansas City second baseman Omar Infante during the first inning of the Royals’ 5-2 loss in Game Two of a doubleheader on Wednesday in Kansas City, Mo. The Royals won the opener, 3-2.

Royals settle for split Kansas City Mo. (ap) — Edinson Volquez took solace in his bumpy start against the Boston Red Sox with the fact that the Kansas City Royals had already wrapped up a series win before he even took the mound.

Jackie Bradley Jr. and Mookie Betts homered to back a strong start by David Price, and the Red Sox beat up Volquez in a 5-2 victory Wednesday night that resulted in a split of their day-night doubleheader.

The Royals won the opener 3-2 behind a strong performance by Ian Kennedy and the bullpen.

“I’m really happy we won the series. We did it,” said Volquez, who allowed four runs, seven hits and four walks in six innings.

“Tonight wasn’t the way I wanted to (pitch).”

Instead it was Price (6-1) who shined in the nightcap, allowing two runs over 71⁄3 innings. Junichi Tazawa got through the rest of the eighth before Craig Kimbrel handled a scoreless ninth for his 11th save.

The Red Sox were clinging to a 2-1 lead when they loaded the bases off Volquez (4-4) with two outs in the sixth inning. Christian Vazquez dribbled a single up the middle to score two runs, giving the Red Sox plenty of cushion the way their left-hander was pitching.

“He was very good,” Red Sox manager John Farrell said. “He was really commanding all of his pitches.”

Tuscaloosa, Ala. — Kansas University’s men’s golf season ended with a 10th-place finish at an NCAA regional on Wednesday at the Ol’ Colony Golf Course.

The Jayhawks — making their first NCAA appearance in nine seasons — shot 308-301-305—914 (50 over) for the three-day tournament.

“We just couldn’t get it going this week, and it was a horrible week to play poorly,” Kansas coach Jamie Bermel said. “Overall, it was a solid season, and we improved in a lot of areas. I hope we can make it back next year to NCAA regionals and do better.”

Connor Peck was the low Jayhawk. He tied for 30th with 5-over 221. He was followed by teammates Ben Welle, tied for 54th, 229; Charlie Hiller, tied for 63rd, 234; Daniel Hudson, tied for 65th, 235; and Chase Hanna, tied for 68th, 236.

The five teams that advanced to the NCAA Championship from the Tuscaloosa Regional are Georgia (-16), South Carolina (-12), Alabama (-7), Kentucky (-6) and Auburn (+3).

Peck was one shot shy of participating in a playoff for the final individual to advance to the NCAA Championship, as there was a three-way tie for the sixth individual spot.

Wednesday announced plans to leave Kentucky.

Matthews was the No. 48-ranked player in the Class of 2015 according to Rivals.com.

He joins former Duke point guard Derryck Thornton as an elite guard looking for a new school. Thornton, 6-2 out of Findlay Prep in Henderson, Nev., is expected to choose either Kansas University, USC, Washington or Miami in the near future. Thornton was ranked No. 14 in the Class of 2015.

Matthews averaged 1.7 points a game while playing in all 36 games for UK. The Wildcats are bringing in No. 6-ranked De’Aaron Fox to run the point, as well as No. 9-ranked shooting guard Malik Monk.

Freshman guard Isaiah Briscoe has until May 25 to decide whether to keep his name in the draft or return to Kentucky for a sophomore season.

“Zoe threw an awesome game,” Tarbutton said of his young starter, “and we couldn’t ask for anything more out of her. You know, those hitters, they took those balls that were maybe up a little bit and just drove them outta here.”

LHS (9-12) took a 1-0 lead in the top of the fourth, following senior Sami Mills’ one-out single through the right side of O-North’s infield.

After Mills advanced to second on a passed ball, senior Amber Flummerfelt (2-for-3) delivered an RBI single with two outs.

Senior shortstop Sophie Taylor said the Lions’ defense in the postseason opener gave them a chance at advancing.

“We’ve hit this pitcher well before,” Taylor said after senior Halle Brin limited LHS to four hits in seven innings. “If we kept a strong defense we’d be able to hang with them.

And our defense has been pretty solid all season.”

Lawrence’s biggest strength kept O-North scoreless most of the game, including in the first inning. Although junior Kayla Peak delivered an

early, one-out double to the right-field gap, a perfect relay allowed LHS sophomore catcher Morgan Husman to tag Stipsits out at the plate — “And I got trucked,” Husman pointed out.

“I think we just connect really well, and that’s why we all are so in line together and we make those plays,” the catcher added.

“It’s always fun when we do stuff like that.”

The top-seeded Firebirds (18-4) struck in the first inning when junior Jacob Pavylak drew a leadoff walk, and junior Zion Bowlin hit a double into the right-center gap.

With two runners in scoring position, Gudde laced a two-run single into center field, emptying the base paths.

“If he played football, he would’ve been an allstate football player,” FSHS coach Mike Hill said of Gudde. “I mean that sincerely. He’s just a kid who hates to lose.

We talk to our kids all the time about wanting to win and hating to lose.

There’s a huge difference. You want guys who hate to lose, and that’s him.”

Munsch was at his best, only giving up three hits in a complete-game effort. The 6-foot-4 lefty, signed to pitch at Oklahoma, struck out six and retired the final 11 LHS batters. He received plenty of support from his defense, including Gudde’s game-ending catch and a Derek Jeter-esque sliding stop and throw by shortstop Matt Hill in the second inning.

“He pitched with a mean mentality,” Bowlin said after the Firebirds recorded their seventh shutout.

The Firebirds hollered when they received their regional title plaque, but Mike Hill instructed his players to wait until the Lions cleared the field before they took celebratory pictures.

“You get into the postseason, you are playing against good competition, and the little things get magnified,” Mike Hill said. “When you make mistakes, they get magnified. Today, there wasn’t really a mistake on either side.”

The Firebirds were held hitless against Lowery for the final six innings. They drew two walks in the sixth inning — one intentionally to Bowlin — but were stranded when LHS senior closer Brad Kincaid struck out Gudde with a backdoor fastball to end the threat.

Lowery only threw seven pitches against the Firebirds last week, but kept batters off balance with his curveball and change-up.

“I’ve been really hard on Daonte Lowery for four years, and I know he didn’t like me very much,” LHS coach Brad Stoll said. “But what he did tonight for our program is a testament to the kind of kid he is. I just couldn’t be any more proud. He just pitched his butt off. He answered the challenge. Very, very proud of him.”

relief duty. “They knew that if I started struggling, there is an all-state guy coming out of the pen.”

Munsch never struggled, so Gudde stayed in right field.

Coming out of the regional requires winning two games in one day, and winning state means winning three games in two days. The format tests a school’s pitching depth, and Free State has it.

Hard-throwing righthander Aaron Funk, the winner of the regional semifinal, and Munsch start, and Gudde, a former starter, is the closer.

LAWRENCE HIGH PITCHER DAONTE LOWERY DELIVERS during the fourth inning of the Lions’ 2-0 loss to Free State on Wednesday at FSHS. (9-13) never had a runner reach third base against Munsch. Junior Jacob Unruh hit a leadoff double in the third inning, but his pinch-runner, Jackson Mallory, was thrown out at third trying to advance on a ground ball to shortstop.

“Hats off to them,” Lowery said.

“They played hard, we played hard. It was a good game.

It’s how the game works.

Sometimes it doesn’t go your way. It’s all right.

You learn from it.”

The Lions advanced to the regional title game with a 5-2 victory over Olathe Northwest, and the Firebirds moved on after an 8-1 win against Topeka High earlier in the afternoon.

“It’s heart-wrenching, man,” Stoll said, fighting back tears. “It absolutely breaks your heart that you don’t get to go to practice with those six (seniors) anymore. I just love coaching those guys.

To not go to practice those guys, it’s just hard to put in words.”

The Firebirds will play in next week’s Class 6A state tournament, which begins Thursday at Kansas University’s Hoglund Ballpark.

They will learn of their first-round opponent Saturday.

spot, every pitch,” Hill said.

The defending state champion Firebirds won’t be the only team with impressive pitching depth at Hoglund Ballpark, site of the Class 6A state tournament.

Shawnee Mission East, led by potential firstround pick Joey Wentz, a hard-throwing left-hander, goes into the tournament as the favorite.

Yet, returning to The Hog, where the Firebirds won state last May, helps their confidence.

“It’s neat that we’re going back there,” Munsch said. “It’s the same feeling as last year, and I think we’re going to do it again.”

Munsch glanced toward the Free State mound where he crafted such a terrific swan song and said, “I knew it would be the last time I played on this field and played against those guys, and this is exactly how I wanted it to end.”

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Verlander gets 2,000th K The Associated Press

American League Tigers 6, Twins 3 Detroit — Justin Verlander struck out 10 batters, including the 2,000th of his career, to help Detroit beat Minnesota on Wednesday.

Verlander (3-4) allowed six hits and three runs over 71⁄3 innings while matching his season high in strikeouts. He joined Mickey Lolich as the two pitchers in franchise history with 2,000 career strikeouts and became the 76th in baseball history to reach the milestone.

Ricky Nolasco (1-2) gave up nine hits and four runs over five innings.

Yankees 4, D’backs 2 Phoenix — Nathan Eovaldi retired the 18 batters he faced after allowing a freak leadoff base hit, and the Yankees salvaged the final game of a threegame series in Arizona.

Jean Segura’s ground ball to start the first inning bounced off the bag at second and dribbled into the outfield for a double. After that, only two balls even reached the outfield off the Yankees right-hander.
