KANSAS LEGISLATURE

School bathrooms yes, school funding no As session ends, lawmakers oppose federal ruling, ignore state court

Revenues short $74.5M in May; more cuts likely

Topeka — Kansas lawmakers formally adjourned the 2016 legislative session Wednesday without addressing last week’s state Supreme Court decision that threatens to close public schools because of inequitable school funding.

But the Senate did pass a resolution opposing new federal guidelines that say schools must allow transgender students to use restLEGISLATURE rooms that correspond to their gender identity.

Sen. Marci Francisco, D-Lawrence, said it was a disappointing session overall.

“We passed a budget that’s unbalanced and a school finance plan that’s unconstitutional,” she said. “So both today and back in May when we had the motion to adjourn, I voted no.”

Lawmakers did discuss the school finance issue in party caucus meetings Wednesday, but GOP lawmakers could not agree on what path to take.

In a Senate Republican caucus meeting that lasted more than an hour, a few said they wanted to dispense with the issue immediately. But others said they hadn’t had enough

Manhattan (ap) — Kansas’ top education official says he fears that school counselor positions in the state have become too focused on administrative tasks.

Education commissioner Randy Watson addressed more than 350 school counselors from across the state at an annual conference Tuesday in Manhattan organized

by Kansas State University, The Topeka CapitalJournal reported.

Kansas data indicates that each public school counselor in the state handles about 440 students. Watson said the state needs to decrease that number.

“We’re going to have to lower that,” Watson

said. “Effective is probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 to 250, where you can really spend time with each individual kid.”

Watson said counselors often pour many hours into administrative duties that detract them from fulfilling their mission of helping students build social and emotional skills and explore options for after high school. He says Kansas schools need to rethink the number of counselors they employ as well as what tasks they assign to counselors.

“Running it for the whole school and making sure classes balance could really be done by somebody else,” he said.

“And that could be a task that could free up hun- POSTMASTER: Send address to: dreds of hours for a coun- changes Lawrence Journal-World, selor to then spend time P.O. Box 888, Lawrence, KS on the social-emotional 66044-0888 side.”

In case you have forgotten, PetSmart is the largest chain retailer of pet supplies in the country. It operates about 1,500 stores. The stores carry food and supplies for dogs, cats, fish, reptiles and a variety of small pets. The Lawrence store also operates a grooming service, and a limited number of PetSmart locations also operate a kennel service, or what the company calls a PetsHotel. I can’t tell from the plans whether that service is planned for the new Lawrence location. I’ll reach out to the company, and if I get more information about the project and its timeline, I’ll let you know.

Election

Kobach had no authority to bar voters who registered using a federal form from casting ballots in local and state elections.

Two weeks later Newby changed registration forms in Kansas, Georgia and Alabama without public comment or approval of the EAC. In the letter to Hicks, the congressmen said Newby’s action “could impair, and already may have impaired, the legitimate right to vote of many Americans.”

— This is an excerpt from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column, which appears at LJWorld.com.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Voting rights activists criticized the changes Newby made in February as a “secretive move” that created additional barriers for potential voters.

The EAC was created in 2002 to help prevent a repeat of the disputed 2000 presidential election between George W. Bush and Al Gore following voting chaos in the crucial state of Florida.

Newby, who initially was appointed by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach as Johnson County elections commissioner, used his close ties to Kobach to help him land the federal position in November. Kobach is a leading advocate of restrictions on voting such as voter ID laws and proof of citizenship.

By no change, Unruh didn’t mean one of the options being considered, which is to leave as is the K-10 intersection that serves Kasold Drive to the north and East 1200

The organization, known as LINK, cut its part-time coordinator po-

LINK is instead contracting with the Lawrence Salvation Army to have its current coordinator also arrange LINK’s meals, which will still be served at First Christian Church in downtown Lawrence.

County to continue pilot recycling program

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

The Douglas County Commission approved Wednesday expanding a popular pilot recycling program and supported the program’s continuation through 2017.

The commission’s action Wednesday built on a pilot program commissioners approved in September 2015, which placed Honey Creek Disposal recycling containers at Prairie Moon Waldorf School in Grant Township, Stull United Methodist Church, the Vinland Fairgrounds and Wakarusa Valley School. In making her presentation to commissioners Wednesday, county sustainability coordinator Eileen Horn said the program was “probably the most popular thing I’ve done.”

Horn said 56 tons of recyclable materials worth $4,725 were collected at the sites during the pilot program’s first six months of October through March. That

I’ve never had so many happy constituents. I think it’s been a great program.”

— County Commissioner Nancy Thellman popularity produced higherthan-estimated costs, she said.

At that rate of collection, the annual cost of the program would be $56,000, or double what was originally estimated.

The expense of removing full bins at $175 a trip was behind the high costs, Horn said. After discussions with Honey Creek, she recommended the county spend $14,000 to purchase 14 additional bins. Stull would receive two more bins, and Wakarusa and Vinland would each get six more bins.

That would require Honey Creek to make only 16 monthly trips to the sites, as opposed to 27 under the previous system. It would also lower the program’s estimated annual cost from $56,600 to $36,600.

Commissioners approved the purchase of the bins and signaled

Unruh accepts that this will force change at the Kasold Drive intersection she uses four times a week.

“I don’t think that’s even possible,” she said of the intersection’s nochange option. Her preferred alternative is installing a traffic light at the intersection.

“I’ve never had so many happy constituents,” Commissioner Nancy Thellman said. “I think it’s been a great program.”

In other business, commissioners asked staff to give more consideration to a revision of rental guidelines at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, which would allow alcohol consumption at the site.

The commissioners’ objection was not the intent of the revision, which County Commission Chairman Jim Flory characterized as a first step that “wasn’t too big a step.”

Rather, it was about provisions that would require rent-

ers of fairgrounds’ facilities to obtain insurance for any event.

Commissioners said deposits seemed more appropriate for smaller activities such as family reunions, birthday parties or weddings, whether or not alcohol was served.

The measure would allow consumption of alcohol at the fairgrounds, but not its sale. It would limit the use of alcohol from 11 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. The language also prohibits alcohol at events hosted by individuals younger than 21 years of age and during county fair or 4-H events.

County staff said they would bring language back to address the commission’s concerns. Assistant County Administrator Sarah Plinsky said additional research would be required to ensure that neither state statute nor the county’s insurance would require renters to obtain insurance when alcohol was available.

shared that KDOT predicts that leaving the intersection alone would increase the number of crashes there. Highway department engineers also predict it would encourage “risky behavior” as drivers from the north and south grew impatient while waiting to cross or gain access to the highway. On the upside, the option maintains access to county destinations to the south and city destinations to the north and has no cost.

Julie DeYoung, of 1041 North 800 Road, said her preferred option of building an overpass at the intersection wasn’t among those being considered. Among those that were, she favored the no-change option.

“KDOT’s priority is maintaining unimpeded traffic flow, not safety,” she said.

Brinegar was arrested and transported to the Douglas County Jail, where he was later released without posting bond.

As of Wednesday afternoon, no charges had been filed against Brinegar in Douglas County District Court.

Standing in the middle of the presentation room at about 6 p.m., Ryan Barrett, KDOT project manager for the K-10 west leg, said he was happy with attendance. About 100 people signed in during its first hour.

“I’ve heard a little bit in favor of every option,” he said. “I think people understand the safety concern.

They are also interested in convenience and access.”

As for KDOT, safety was the overriding concern, but balanced with

considerations of traffic flow, cost and access, Barrett said.

Frank Male, who successfully lobbied the Douglas County Commission and Lawrence City Commission to write letters in support of keeping the intersection open, said KDOT still didn’t grasp how many people in the southwest parts of Lawrence and Douglas County depended on the intersection.

Male, who has a nursery near East 1200 Road, supports a traffic signal as the best solution to maintain that access. Keeping the Kasold Drive intersection open would also help keep traffic manageable on Iowa Street once the SLT opens by providing an alternative for those driving to and from southwest Lawrence neighborhoods, he said.

Meisenheimer announced the change to participating churches and other organizations Wednesday. The move will save LINK $100 to $200 per month, she said.

The total amount spent on payroll in fiscal year 2014 was $20,315, according to the group’s latest annual report.

Salvation Army and LINK will continue to offer free meals to the public on opposite days: LINK serves meals from 1 to 2 p.m. every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday at First Christian Church, 221 W. 10th St., and Salvation Army serves from 1 to 2 p.m.

Monday, Wednesday and Friday at its 946 New Hampshire St. location.

“We already work together providing the meals,” Meisenhemier said. “This is just an opportunity to collaborate a little bit better because we’ll have the same person at both sites.”

Through LINK, church and civic groups use the space but bring their own food and volunteer servers. That concept will remain the same, Meisenhemier said.

LINK’s contract with Salvation Army will change Salvation Army’s coordinator position from part time to full time and include benefits.

According to its annual report, LINK, which has operated in Lawrence since 1985, served 22,612 guests in fiscal year 2014, which ran from July 2014 to June 2015.

The peak in the past 10 years was fiscal year 2006, when 30,273 guests were served.

Guests served by LINK in fiscal year 2011 totaled 26,648, according to the report. In fiscal year 2012, there were 23,218 guests and 23,710 in 2013.

As filing deadline hits, incumbents bow out

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Several incumbent Kansas Republican lawmakers announced Tuesday and Wednesday that they will not seek re-election this year, just hours before the noon deadline Wednesday for candidates to file for office.

But Democrats boasted Wednesday about their slate of candidates, noting that for the first time in 30 years, they have candidates in all 40 Senate districts and nearly 75 percent of the 125 House districts.

Meanwhile, the Libertarian Party lined up a total of 12 candidates for the 2016 general elections, including James Houston Bales of Lawrence, a Kansas University law student, who filed to challenge Republican U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins in the 2nd congressional district.

In the Senate, Republican

time to study the decision since it was handed down late Friday.

And still others, including Sen. Mitch Holmes, R-St. John, openly talked about defying the Supreme Court.

“Why don’t we just have a statute that grants amnesty to everyone that is in the funding chain, between the state treasurer, all the way down to the school board and superintendent, that says they are immune from any contempt of court charge and that schools are to open this year?” Holmes said. “If the court decides to strike that down, we (can) have an agreement with the governor who will grant a pardon to anybody that the court attempts to charge with contempt of court, and we’re going to keep the schools open.”

Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce, of Hutchinson, said he doubted the court would accept any plan the Legislature puts forth, and he accused the court of acting out of political self-interest because five of the seven justices are up for retention this year.

“There’s been a lot of talk, and a lot of attorneys have come to the conclusion that the Gannon (v.

Kansas) decision was a political decision,” he said. “It wasn’t legal, it was political, with the intent to take the focus off the Carr brothers and abortion bills that are before the court and place it on education in order to help bolster their retention elections. And that whatever remedy we think we may be passing, they’re going go out of their way to strike it down in order to keep that narrative going.”

That was a reference to the court’s 2014 decision vacating the death sentences of Jonathan and Reginald Carr, who were convicted of a brutal mass murder that took place in Wichita in 2000, as well as a case currently under review challenging a law enacted this year banning a certain kind of abortion.

But Sen. Jeff Longbine, R-Emporia, said he preferred to deal with the issue immediately so that he and other lawmakers running for re-election can focus on their campaigns.

“I don’t want to go into a special session,” he said.

“I don’t want to go into explaining to my people why schools are closing on July 1. I realize they’re playing games with less than 1 percent of our school budget.

But that’s less than 1 percent of our budget too. It’s not their fault we don’t have the money. In my opinion, we ought to move on down the road.”

In its decision Friday, the court struck down the system lawmakers enacted this year for distributing equalization aid for school districts’ local option budgets, or LOBs. LOBs were originally enacted in 1992 as part of

Wichita, Michael O’Donnell of Wichita, Garrett Love of Montezuma and Kay Wolf of Prairie Village.

Some of the surprising withdrawals Wednesday came from the House, where Rep. Peggy Mast, R- Emporia, the Speaker Pro Tem, and Republican Reps.

Tom Moxley of Council Grove and Mario Goico of Wichita announced they would not seek new terms.

Also, Rep. Annie Tietze, D-Topeka, announced she is stepping down from her 53rd district seat. Democrat Jim Gartner, who serves on the Auburn-Washburn school board, filed Wednesday to fill her place on the ballot.

Eric L. Smith, a Republican from Burlington, filed last week to run for Mast’s 76th district House seat. Two Democrats,

Teresa Briggs of Reading and Kelly Atherton of Olpe, will face each other in a primary in that district.

All told, 102 candidates, including 53 Republicans, 47 Democrats and two Libertarians, have filed for seats in the Kansas Senate.

There will be Republican primaries in 16 of those districts, including 11 where incumbents are being challenged from within their own party. Among those being challenged are Majority Leader Terry Bruce of Hutchinson, Ways and Means Committee Chairman Ty Masterson of Andover, conservative Tom Arpke of Salina and moderate Vicki Schmidt of Topeka.

There will be four Democratic primaries in Senate races, in-

Revenues

Kansas lawmakers on their final day “Clearly, clearly it’s a political decision, and anyone who says otherwise has not read it.”

— Sen. Ty Masterson, R-Andover, on Kansas Supreme Court’s school funding ruling

“Whatever remedy we think we may be passing, they’re going go out of their way to strike it down.”

— Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce, R-Hutchinson

“I think that (defying the court) would be a terrible mistake. I think we have a a school funding plan that allowed districts to raise a limited amount of money through local taxes, above and beyond what the state provided, to enhance local programs. But the court noted that since then, base per-pupil aid provided by the state has declined, while lawmakers have continually lifted the cap on LOBs, to the point where now those local option budgets have become essential to basic school operations and now make up roughly 25 percent of all school funding.

The equalization aid is meant to subsidize the LOBs of districts with less property wealth so they don’t have to levy significantly higher property taxes in order to raise amounts of money comparable to what wealthier districts can raise.

But the court said under the system lawmakers enacted this year, there are still wealth-based disparities large enough to make the plan unconstitutional.

It pointed to the Eudora school district, which could raise a 25 percent LOB by levying 14.1 mills in property tax. But the Valley Heights school district in north-central Kansas would have to levy almost double that, 22.2 mills, to raise the same 25 percent LOB. The Burlington school district, which is home to the Wolf Creek Nuclear Power Plant, could levy a 25 percent LOB with only 4.359 mills, but the Brewster school district in far western Kansas would have to levy 21.8 mills, more than four times as high as Burlington.

Although the court did not order a specific remedy, it said the Legislature could cure the problem by reinstating the previous LOB formula and fully funding it, which state officials have estimated to cost about $38 million for the upcoming school year.

Senate Ways and Means Committee Chairman Ty Masterson, R-Andover, said his committee still had a bill that could be used as a vehicle for making that change. But after more than an hour of discussion, there was no consensus among Senate Republicans, who control 32 of the Senate’s 40 seats, to move forward.

House Republicans held similar meetings Wednesday and found a similar lack of consensus within their caucus about moving forward.

Rep. Boog Highberger, D-Lawrence, said he wasn’t surprised the Legislature

constitutional obligation to provide for suitable education. The court has done its job in determining what that is. It’s our job to follow their orders.”

— Rep. Boog Highberger, D-Lawrence

“I find it fantastical that the Senate President, on the last day at sine die, when we don’t have a balanced budget, and we don’t have a constitutional way of funding our schools, would bring this (transgender bathroom) resolution to the floor so we can debate about where transgender kids pee.”

— Sen. Tom Holland, D-Baldwin City

took no action during the sine die session.

“Obviously we have to do it at some point.

Today would have been too rushed, I think. So I’m hoping we can come back sometime relatively soon so we can do our jobs,” he said.

That means it will be up to Gov. Sam Brownback to call a special session later this month if lawmakers are to respond to the court ruling by the June 30 deadline.

Brownback issued a statement at the end of the day, but gave no indication about whether he plans to call a special session.

“I will work with the Attorney General and Legislative leadership to respond aggressively and appropriately to any action taken by the Kansas Supreme Court to close our schools,” he said in the statement.

“Kansas has great schools and they should remain open. The courts should not be playing politics with our children’s education.”

Transgender bathrooms After the caucus meeting, the Senate came back into session to deal with the one school-related issue that Republicans were prepared to tackle: a resolution criticizing the Obama administration’s new guidelines directing schools to allow transgender students to participate in activities and use sex-segregated facilities such as bathrooms and locker rooms that correspond to their gender identity.

The guidelines from the departments of Education and Justice are intended to help districts comply with Title IX of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Also known as the education amendments, it bans gender-based discrimination in any educational institution that receives federal funding.

Attorney General Derek Schmidt said Wednesday that the state would challenge the Obama administration’s directive in court, although he has not yet decided whether to join a lawsuit by 11 other states or sue separately.

Senate President Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, who was the chief sponsor of the legislative measure, said school districts in her area had approached her with concerns that the guidelines would lead to boys having access to girls’ restrooms and locker rooms, allowing them to see and possibly even touch girls who are undressed, if the boy merely claims to be a transgender girl.

The resolution passed on a party-line vote, 30-8, with all eight Democrats arguing that Republicans were only using controversy over school bathrooms to divert the public’s attention away from the issue of school funding.

cluding a four-way primary in Schmidt’s 20th district seat.

In the House, 259 candidates have filed, including 151 Republicans, 103 Democrats and five Libertarians.

There will be 39 Republican primaries in the House, including 22 in which incumbents are being challenged. One of those is Rep. Tom Sloan of Lawrence, who faces challenger Jeremy Ryan Pierce, who ran against Sloan and lost in 2014.

Also, Rep. Connie O’Brien, R-Tonganoxie, whose district includes Eudora, is being challenged by fellow-Republican Jim Karleskint, also of Tonganoxie.

There will be only seven Democratic primaries in the House, four of which involve incumbents being challenged.

Among those is Rep. Barbara Ballard of Lawrence, who faces Democrat Steven X. Davis in a primary.

That action prompted Gov. Sam Brownback to enact a series of allotment cuts, including a $17 million cut in state aid to public universities. Afterward, lawmakers passed a series of budget amendments which, combined with additional cuts by the governor, was expected to leave the state with an ending balance of about $21 million on June 30.

The May revenue report effectively wipes out that ending balance, and, even if revenues come in as expected in June, puts the state about $53 million in the hole for the fiscal year.

Kansas law does not allow the state to end the year with a deficit,

so the May report will likely force Brownback to order even more spending cuts.

There was little of the typical reaction or commentary from lawmakers in response to the revenue numbers as most were heading home when the report was released.

But Senate President Susan Wagle, R-Wichta, said the budget problem is now the governor’s responsibility.

“Legislators are just as upset about the state’s downturn in revenue as all Kansans,” she said. “With session adjourned and the budget passed and signed into law, the governor will have to determine how to address the shortfall.”

CW drags out fairy tale remake Ever buy a goldfish and forget to feed it? The results aren’t pretty. That’s sort of how I feel about the relationship between the CW network and “Beauty and the Beast” (8 p.m., TV-14).

I know, you’re saying to yourself, “Is that still on?” Well it is, but not for long.

In some ways, “Beauty and the Beast” should have been a winner. Like half of the product coming out of Hollywood, it’s a remake. Even better, a remake of a remake, and then some. But this tale of a gorgeous cop, Catherine “Cat” Chandler (Kristin Kreuk, “Smallville”), who bonds with feral mystery man Vincent (Jay Ryan, “Terra Nova”) never really found traction with the CW audience. And now that the CW has become the DC Comics network, “Beauty and the Beast” has become an odd fit.

But rather than just cancel “Beast,” the CW has doled out seasons in slow motion, as if to torture and punish what few fans the series has left. Those who still remember its existence have been waiting since last September for the arrival of season four, which will be the show’s final outing. Well, it’s here.

O Texas lawmen have been part of TV entertainment ever since Westerns dominated the dial in the late 1950s. “Lone Star Law” (9 p.m., Animal Planet, TV-14) revises the script a little by following Texas game wardens as they get between the state’s critters and its citizens. As you might have heard, it’s a vast state with a diverse landscape ranging from deserts, lakes, plains and bayous to beaches and piney woods. Just thinking about this show makes me want to spray myself down with flea and tick repellent.

EDITORIALS

Planning ahead A more formal process for mapping the city’s future spending needs should provide some context that will benefit elected decision-makers.

L

awrence residents don’t have to agree with every item that’s on the city’s five-year capital improvements plan to appreciate the need to have such a plan.

In fact, putting long-term spending priorities in front of local taxpayers so they can have a better opportunity to express opinions on those priorities is one of biggest benefits of the new process being implemented by Lawrence city officials.

The five-year plan, which includes 250 large projects and $318 million in purchases, will be considered by the Lawrence City Commission as part of the 2017 budget process. The plan likely will change before it is approved by commissioners this year and it almost certainly will change in subsequent years to accommodate changing city needs, but it provides important context for commissioners as they consider spending decisions.

The analogy offered by City Manager Tom Markus was an apt one: “… if there’s only one item in front of you to consider, you don’t necessarily turn into the best shopper. Having a capital improvement program that presents the whole array of capital improvements gives you the choice and gives you the opportunity to align what you want to get accomplished with your goals.”

Markus is right that dealing with spending one item at a time isn’t the best way to shop. Too often in recent years, city commissioners have looked at individual spending proposals and decided whether to accept or reject them without considering the broader spectrum of community needs. They may have a notion that dedicating money to one project may keep them from addressing another need, but they don’t have the context to properly weigh those priorities.

That’s what the five-year plan should help provide. Commissioners don’t have to rigidly stick to the plan, but they will have a better understanding of the trade-offs. If they choose to spend money not accounted for in the plan, they will see the impact that decision could have on the city’s ability to fund other priorities.

Looking down the road and setting spending priorities is a pretty basic idea, but establishing a formal process for making a list and sharing it with the public is a good step that may give both commissioners and residents a better understanding of what should guide the city’s spending decisions.

British voters may turn back the clock London — Sitting on the sun-dappled terrace of the House of Lords, watching the Thames flow, Lord Nigel Lawson explains that the June 23 referendum, which he hopes will withdraw Britain from the European Union, was never supposed to happen. It is, he says, the fulfillment of a promise Prime Minister David Cameron expected to be prevented from keeping.

Going into the 2014 general election, Cameron, heading a coalition government with Liberal Democrats, placated anti-EU Conservatives by promising a referendum on the EU membership. He expected that another close election would leave him again heading a coalition, and that he would be able to say, truthfully, that his pro-EU Liberal Democrat partners would block a referendum.

But his Conservative Party won a large parliamentary majority, inconveniently liberating Cameron from the constraints of a coalition and leaving him with an awkward promise to keep.

Full of years, 84 of them, and fight, Lawson has spent 42 years on the Thames embankment, as a member of both houses. He is impatient with the proposition that it is progress to transfer to supra-national institutions decision-making that belongs in Britain’s Parliament.

When Britain votes on whether to withdraw from the EU, it will be deciding for or against the constraints of deepening involvement with a political entity born from cultural despair about Europe’s

“

The referendum will record, among other things, the strength of the revulsion many people here feel about a multiculturalism that celebrates every permutation of identity — except that of nationality.” past and complacency about a European future of diminishing social dynamism and political democracy. Britain will consciously choose between alternative national destinies that Americans are less consciously choosing between by their smaller choices that cumulatively subordinate them to a vast, opaque and unaccountable administrative state.

Cameron says leaving the EU is unnecessary because Britain has rejected membership in the eurozone currency and is not bound by the EU’s open borders policy. Advocates of “Brexit” reply that if the common currency and open borders, both crucial attributes of the EU, are defects, why remain?

Cameron says leaving the EU would be imprudent for

security reasons. Wielding the fallacy of the false alternative, he says those who favor leaving the EU favor “going it alone” and “isolationism.” They respond that Britain out of the EU would remain Europe’s foremost military power. When Cameron recalls “war in the Balkans and genocide on our continent in Srebrenica,” Leave advocates note that the EU had nothing to do with suppressing this, which fell to NATO and especially the United States, neither of which would be diminished

by Britain leaving the EU. Cameron invokes “the serried rows of white headstones” on British graves in military cemeteries on the continent as a “silent testament to the price that this country has paid to help restore peace and order in Europe.” Historian Andrew Roberts tartly responds that the British war dead “fought for British independence and sovereignty, not for European unification.”

The Remain camp correctly says that Britain is richer and more rationally governed than when European unification began.

The Leave camp, however, correctly responds that this is largely in spite of the EU — it is because of decisions made by British governments, particularly Margaret Thatcher’s, in what is becoming a shrinking sphere of national autonomy.

In 1988, Thatcher said: “We have not successfully rolled back the frontiers of the state in Britain, only to see them reimposed at a European level

with a European super-state exercising a new dominance from Brussels.” Stressing Britain’s European credentials, she also said “our maps still trace the straight lines of the roads the Romans built.” But today’s Leavers, who carry the torch of Thatcherism, do not favor straight lines drawn by foreigners. They prefer G.K. Chesterton’s celebration of spontaneous, unplanned cultural particularities: Before the Roman came to Rye or out to Severn strode, The rolling English drunkard made the rolling English road.

In politics, sensibility is prior to and inseparable from philosophy. The referendum will record, among other things, the strength of the revulsion many people here feel about a multiculturalism that celebrates every permutation of identity — except that of nationality. This is a trans-Atlantic revulsion.

What Daniel Patrick Moynihan, an Irish-American and Anglophile, called “the liberal expectancy” is the belief that the rise of reason and science would mean the waning of pre-modern forces such as religion, ethnicity and even nationality, which would be regarded as an anachronistic tribalism.

British voters, who may be as weary as many Americans are of constantly being told that they cannot “turn back the clock,” and that history’s centralizing ratchet has clicked irreversibly too many times, might soon say otherwise.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for June 2, 1916: “Vinland will have a rural high years school next year. At the ago election held yesterday IN 1916 it was voted to issue $10,000 bonds for a school, equipment and school site....

The people of the community especially interested in the school hope that the building can be constructed and equipped before the first week in September. An estimate of the number of pupils who would attend the school was made this morning.... The number will probably reach forty.”

Unlikely scenario isn’t worth the worry Dear Roz: OK, I think I have an answer for you. But I must say, your email, which I highlighted in this space a few weeks back, had me stumped for a while. That’s why I asked readers to weigh in on the question you posed: Namely, how should you, a self-described left-wing progressive and supporter of gay rights, respond if ever you find yourself sharing the locker room at the public pool with a transgender woman who still has male reproductive equipment?

You wrote: “I have no problem with trans people of whatever biology or stage of transition in bathroom stalls, but what about locker rooms, where nudity is normal? I would be very uncomfortable if I was unclothed and someone two feet away from me took off their clothes and a penis appeared.”

Roz, the response from many readers can be summed up as follows: Relax. You have nothing to worry about.

John from Butte wrote, “Please tell Roz that the estimated 700,000 to 2,000,000 transgender people in the USA are using showers and locker rooms very well today just as they have for many years and she doesn’t even know about it. The fact she

“

… good people usually find ways to figure this sort of stuff out, to make accommodations that allow locker rooms, restrooms and other public facilities to function smoothly without heavy-handed government guidance.”

doesn’t know is proof that transgender people are discreet, sensitive and careful.”

Robyn, a transgender woman from greater Richmond, said that, “Revealing the mysteries that lie beneath the surface is not something I’m even remotely inclined to consider.

Until the day arrives that I am comfortable my naked appearance will seamlessly blend in with the other ladies present, you will not find me in a locker room. To do so

would undermine every other effort I make to be normal.”

A reader named Lindsey agreed: “As a transgender woman (albeit one beginning her transition to womanhood), I can tell you there is not one pre-op transwoman that will willingly expose herself to others in a locker room or fitting area.”

Reading their emails, Roz, it struck me how obvious the answers seemed in hindsight. But then, when a thing is alien to your experience, it’s often hard to think past the newness of it. And that can leave you vulnerable to demagogic lawmakers who see potential votes in your anxiety and irresolution.

That’s the story of North Carolina and other states where new laws raise the specter of police officers stationed outside every public toilet to look up your dress or down your pants to ensure your sex parts correspond to the gender of the restroom. We are told they’re passing these laws to deter child molesters.

But, Roz, how many children have you heard about being targeted by crossdressing rapists? Statistically, wouldn’t those kids be in greater danger from priests and, well, demagogic lawmakers? While we’re on

the subject, which would be more disruptive: the person who presents as a man in every visible aspect who enters the men’s room, or that same person strolling into the ladies’ restroom?

Again, things have a way of becoming obvious if you just stop and think.

That’s why we are often encouraged not to. After all, thinking people are less likely to let themselves be stampeded into sweeping, votegetting restrictions based on vague, unfounded fears of what could happen. Not “has happened,” mind you. Not even “will happen.”

“Could” happen.

What conservative advocates of, ahem, “small government” never seem to appreciate is that, left to their own devices, good people usually find ways to figure this sort of stuff out, to make accommodations that allow locker rooms, restrooms and other public facilities to function smoothly without heavyhanded government guidance.

So, Roz, in the unlikely event you ever encounter that penis you fear, I am confident you and its owner will work something out.

And I’ll bet you won’t need any lawmaker’s help to do it.

Donald Trump is a fighter, famous for legal skirmishes over everything from his golf courses to his tax bills to Trump University. Until now, it hasn’t been clear precisely how litigious he is and what that might portend for a Trump presidency.

An exclusive USA TODAY analysis of legal filings across the USA finds that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee and his businesses have been involved in at least 3,500 legal actions in federal and state courts during the past three decades.

They range from skirmishes with casino patrons to million-dollar real estate suits to personal defamation lawsuits.

The sheer volume of lawsuits is unprecedented for a presidential nominee. No candidate of a major party has had anything approaching the number of Trump’s courtroom entanglements.

Since he announced his candidacy a year ago, at least 70 new cases have been filed, about evenly divided between lawsuits filed by him and his companies and those filed against them. The records review found at least 50 civil lawsuits remain open even as he moves toward claiming the nomination at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in seven weeks. Tuesday, court documents were released in one of the most dramatic cases, filed in California by former students accusing Trump University of fraudulent and misleading behavior.

to the leadership style the billionaire businessman would bring to bear as commander in chief. He sometimes responds to even small disputes with overwhelming legal force. He doesn’t hesitate to deploy his wealth and legal firepower against adversaries with limited resources, such as homeowners. He sometimes refuses to pay real estate brokers, lawyers and other vendors.

As he campaigns, Trump often touts his skills as a negotiator.

The analysis shows that lawsuits are one of his primary negotiating tools. He turns to litigation to distance himself from failing prov STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Airbnb bans N.C. host after racist slur sent to woman

“Racism and discrimination have no place on Airbnb.”

Brian Chesky, co-founder and CEO of Airbnb

Home-sharing service says it was ‘horrified’ by insulting messages that canceled booking Elizabeth Weise @eweise USATODAY

Airbnb banned a host in North Carolina on Wednesday after he allegedly used racist language to tell a woman who had just booked a room she was not welcome because she was black.

“I hate n— so I’m going to cancel you,” the host purportedly wrote over Airbnb’s messaging platform, according to a screenshot. “This is the south darling.

Find another place to rest.”

SAN FRANCISCO

The screenshot was tweeted by Shani Taylor, who said the woman was a friend and classmate at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill. Via email, Taylor said her classmate wishes to remain anonymous. She sent a link to another classmate’s blog who is sharing updates about the incident.

Airbnb confirmed the exchange and said the host had been removed.

“We were horrified when we read these messages. The language and conduct are unacceptable and violate both our policies

and everything we believe in. This host has been removed from Airbnb, and we’ve reached out to the guest to offer our full and complete support, including ensuring the guest has a safe place to stay,” spokesman Nick Papas said.

Co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky tweeted: “The incident in NC was disturbing and unacceptable. Racism and discrimination have no place on Airbnb.”

Airbnb faces a problem of racial bias among some of its hosts.

The issue became widely public after Quirtina Crittenden of Chicago launched a Twitter tag #AirbnbWhileBlack after she

found she had difficulties booking places to stay on the home-sharing site. When she changed her profile photo to a cityscape and shortened her name to Tina, she says she found she could easily book rooms.

The hashtag went viral, prompting others to tell their stories.

Airbnb will hold a conference June 8 on some of the issues it faces as a platform that brings together diverse people to share housing.

Topics will include anonymity vs. identity, discrimination in online platforms and eliminating bias in hiring decisions.

AAA warns drivers entering summer’s ‘100 deadliest days’ About 1,000 die in crashes with teens Bart Jansen @ganjansen USA TODAY

School’s out.

Teens are on the road. So begins the stretch of the “100 deadliest days” of the summer driving season, according to AAA, the automobile research and educational group.

If the past five years are any indication, about 1,000 people will die in crashes with teenage WASHINGTON

drivers in the 100 days from Memorial Day until the kids are back at school, the study found.

Crashes for drivers ages 16 to 19 increase significantly during the summer months because more are driving, pushing the average number of deaths up 16% over other times of the year.

AAA found an average of 1,022 people — more than 10 per day — died during the 100 days after Memorial Day during each of the past five years in crashes involving teens, based on data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Driver distractions, such as talking on cellphones and text-

ing, contribute to 58.5% of the crashes, according to a review of 2,229 videos taken through a program with Lytx DriveCam dash cameras. The videos show moderate to severe crashes from August 2007 through April 2015.

The analysis, with the University of Iowa, looked at the final six seconds before a crash and found 15% involved talking to others in the car, 12% involved a cellphone, whether talking, texting or otherwise operating, and 11% involved looking at or attending to something inside the car.

“It’s no secret that teens are

“Many teens are texting or using social media behind the wheel more often than in the past, which is making an unsafe situation even worse.”

A National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration survey from 2007 to 2014 found that the percentage of drivers 16 to 24 years old seen using a handheld device quadrupled from 1% to 4.8%.

The Pew Research Center found 55% of teens send texts daily — and they average 80 per day. Pew said in 2009 that 92% of youths 15 to 17 years old had cellphones, and 24% reported being online “almost constantly.”

The Virginia Tech Transportation Institute found that texting creates a crash risk 23 times greater than driving while not distracted.

jects that relied on the Trump brand to secure investments.

Despite his boasts on the campaign trail that he “never” settles lawsuits, for fear of encouraging more, he and his businesses have settled with plaintiffs in at least 100 cases reviewed by USA TODAY. Most involve people who say they were physically injured at Trump properties, and settlements range as high as hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Alan Garten, general counsel for the Trump Organization, said in an interview that the number and tenor of the court cases is the “cost of doing business” and on par with other companies of a similar size. “I think we have far less litigation of companies of our size,” he said.

Even by those measures, the number of cases in which Trump is involved is extraordinary. For comparison, USA TODAY analyzed the legal involvement for five top real estate business executives: Edward DeBartolo, shopping center developer and former San Francisco 49ers owner; Donald Bren, Irvine Company chairman and owner; Stephen Ross, Time Warner Center developer; Sam Zell, Chicago real estate magnate; and Larry Silverstein, a New York developer famous for his involvement in the World Trade Center properties.

Only actions that used the developers’ names were included.

The analysis found Trump has been involved in more legal skirmishes than all five of the others — combined.

The USA TODAY analysis included an examination of legal actions for and against Trump and the more than 500 businesses he lists on the personal financial disclosure he filed with the Federal Election Commission. USA TODAY also reviewed five depositions in which Trump sat for 22 hours of sworn testimony.

A handful of the ongoing cases involve local or state government entities, raising the possibility of personal legal disputes between the president of the United States and other branches of government if Trump is elected. For instance, the Trump team has filed a lawsuit seeking a state ethics investigation of the New York attorney general. The suit was filed in response to an ongoing fraud investigation into Trump University by the attorney general, an elected state official.

KELLY JORDAN, USA TODAY

Miami attorney Elizabeth Lee Beck displays materials given to potential condo buyers featuring the Trump name.

The buyers, represented by Beck, sued when the project stalled.

In one lawsuit — filed against him by condo owners who wanted their money back for a Fort Lauderdale condo that was never built — he testified in a sworn deposition: “Well, the word ‘developing,’ it doesn’t mean that we’re the developers.”

At a campaign rally in San Diego last Friday, Trump railed against a federal judge overseeing an ongoing lawsuit against Trump University. Trump said Judge Gonzalo Curiel “happens to be, we believe, Mexican.” He called Curiel a “hater of Donald Trump” who “railroaded” him.

Born in Indiana, Curiel was appointed to the federal bench by President Obama.

The trial is set for November — just after Election Day. Trump’s history of legal actions provides clues about his style as a leader and manager. Though he is quick to take credit for anything associated with his name, he is just as quick to distance himself from failures and to place responsibility on others. In one lawsuit — filed against him by condo owners who wanted their money back for a Fort Lauderdale condo that was never built — he testified in a sworn deposition, “Well, the word ‘developing,’ it doesn’t mean that we’re the developers.”

The number of lawsuits raises questions about potential conflicts and complications if Trump wins the White House. Dozens of cases remain unresolved, about half in which he is the plaintiff.

That raises the possibility of individuals being sued by the president of the United States, or suing him, in non-governmental disputes.

Under the law, Trump wouldn’t get special advantages as the plaintiff — or protections as a defendant. Under long-standing conflict-of-interest rules, as a plaintiff, he couldn’t improperly benefit from governmental knowledge. He also wouldn’t get immunity from civil litigation that stemmed from events prior to taking office.

Together, the lawsuits help address this question: How would

Trump’s record in business translate into leading the most powerful government on the globe and commanding the most powerful armed forces in the world?

Though leaders who had business careers have been elected to the White House — oilmen George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, for instance, and mining engineer Herbert Hoover — the jobs have some fundamental differences, political scientists and presidential historians say.

“He’s operating as his own boss and a CEO-on-steroids mentality, where you snap a finger and things get done,” presidential historian Douglas Brinkley said.

“But a lot of good governance is on learning how to build proper coalitions and how to have patience with the glacial pace of government, and you’re forced to abide by laws at all times.”

Brinkley sees “a lot of warning signs about having someone of Trump’s temperament and professional disposition being the commander in chief.”

COMPARISON WITH CLINTON

To be sure, likely Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has had her own legal challenges, including an ongoing FBI investigation and civil lawsuits into her exclusive use of an email server while secretary of State. When husband Bill Clinton was president, she was involved in investigations by special counsels looking into the Whitewater land deal in Arkansas and other controversies. None resulted in legal charges against her.

During her time as first lady, U.S. senator from New York and secretary of State, Clinton has been named in more than 900 lawsuits, mostly as a defendant, a review of state and federal court records finds.

More than a third of the lawsuits were filed by federal prisoners, political activists or other citizens seeking redress from the government by suing a list of high-ranking officials.

The USA TODAY analysis identified at least 3,500 legal actions involving Trump. Reporters reviewed thousands of pages of records collected electronically and in person from courts in 33 states over three months, read more than 20 hours of depositions and interviewed dozens of litigants.

Among those cases with a clear resolution, Trump’s side was the apparent victor in 451 and the loser in 38. In about 500 cases, judges dismissed plaintiffs’ claims against Trump. In hundreds more, cases ended with the available public record unclear about the resolution.

Close to half the court cases — about 1,600 — involved lawsuits against gamblers who had credit at Trump-connected casinos and failed to pay their debts. About 100 additional disputes centered on other issues at the casinos.

Trump and his enterprises have been named in almost 700 personal-injury claims and about 165 court disputes with government agencies.

Dozens dealt with the bankruptcy proceedings of Trump’s

companies, and dozens more involved plaintiffs’ lawsuits against Trump businesses that judges terminated because the Trump companies targeted had gone bankrupt.

They include Trump’s ongoing suit against the town of Palm Beach over airplane noise near his Mar-a-Lago Club and an earlier lawsuit against the town over an 80-foot flagpole. Trump’s team argued in court that a smaller flag would understate his patriotism, but he eventually settled with town officials, agreeing among other concessions to lower the pole by 10 feet.

The terms of most of the 100 settlements that Trump and his businesses reached with plaintiffs have not been disclosed. In about 60 additional cases, those sued by the Trump side have settled with him.

PRESIDENTIAL TESTS

Trump’s general counsel, Garten, defended the number of lawsuits.

“Our philosophy is that we are a company of principle,” he said.

“When we believe we are in the right, we are going to pursue the matter to the end. If that requires that we go to trial and present evidence to a jury, we are prepared to do so. We are not going to cave to pressure.”

Experts in the presidency and business say Trump’s record, including in courtroom disputes, raises questions about whether he has exhibited the leadership qualities that have distinguished the nation’s most successful presidents.

CHRISTOPHER FAY

“Somebody like Lyndon Johnson was a guy who woke up in the morning studying the decisions and the hopes and the strengths and the weaknesses of all the people he had to influence,” said Jeffrey Pfeffer, a professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. “For that, you need two traits I think Trump lacks: No. 1, an attention to detail, and No. 2, you have to subordinate your own ego. I’ve seen nothing from Trump that suggests he has that capacity, and government is the art of compromise.”

Even so, some of those who have sued Trump, been sued by him or otherwise been caught up in his legal wake, say they still may vote for him in November.

Philip Monnin represented his daughter, Miss Pennsylvania contestant Sheena Monnin, in a defamation suit Trump filed after she posted on Facebook that she thought the 2012 Miss USA Pageant was “rigged.” An arbitration ruling upheld by a federal judge ordered her to pay $5 million in damages, although she and Trump eventually settled out of court for an undisclosed lesser amount.

Philip Monnin doesn’t rule out voting for Trump for president.

“Both sides have failed to bring satisfactory candidates,” he said in an interview. “I don’t think any of us in the family has decided what to do, and we have a lot of time to consider how to cast our votes.”

Trapped civilians stall Fallujah offensive in Iraq More than 20,000 children believed held hostage in city

“We are concerned over the protection of children in the face of extreme and rising danger.”

Peter Hawkins, UNICEF’s representative in Iraq.

Ammar Al Shamary Special for USA TODAY

BAGHDAD Iraqi forces halted an assault to free Fallujah from Islamic State control Wednesday for fear of causing the deaths of civilians held hostage in the city, including an estimated 20,000 children.

“It would be possible to end the battle quickly if protecting civilians wasn’t among our priorities,” Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said on state television.

“Our units are just outside Fallujah — victory is within our reach.”

The announcement comes two days after government forces entered the southern part of the city. They met fierce resistance from militants using civilians as “human shields” on the front lines and threatening to kill anyone who flees.

The United Nations Children’s Fund warned the Iraqi government and Islamic State about an estimated 20,000 children inside the battle zone, saying families should be given safe passage out of the city.

“As the violence continues to escalate in Fallujah and across Iraq, we are concerned over the protection of children in the face of extreme and rising danger,” said Peter Hawkins, UNICEF’s representative in Iraq.

“Since the start of the military operation in Fallujah, very few families have been able to leave.

Children face the risk of forced recruitment into the fighting, strict procedures for security screening and separation from their families.”

The U.N. estimates that more than 50,000 people are trapped in Fallujah.

For months, the U.N. raised concerns over deteriorating conditions in the city that include shortages of food and medicine.

For more than a week, Iraqi military and Shiite militia forces have been preparing for troops to enter the predominately Sunni city and have surrounded it, while airstrikes have pounded the city, about 35 miles from Baghdad.

FDA URGES DRASTIC CUT IN SODIUM Agency seeks voluntary reduction by one-third Liz Szabo

@lizszabo USA TODAY

The Food and Drug Administration wants restaurants and food manufacturers to voluntarily cut the salt they add to food by one-third over the next decade to save thousands of lives a year from high blood pressure.

Nine in 10 Americans consume too much sodium, taking in an average of 3,400 milligrams a day, or 50% more than recommended. That level helps explain why one in three have high blood pressure. Only half of adults with the condition have it under control, according to the FDA, which released the guidelines Wednesday.

Hiding the salt shaker won’t help.

Most of the sodium in Americans’ diets is added by food manufacturers, according to the FDA. About half of all food dollars are

“Many Americans want to reduce sodium ... but that’s hard to do when much of it is in everyday products we buy.”

spent on items prepared outside the home.

Reducing Americans’ average sodium consumption by just 12% could prevent 32,000 heart attacks and 20,000 strokes a year, according to an editorial in JAMA

by Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

About 1,000 Americans die each day from high blood pressure.

“Many Americans want to reduce sodium in their diets, but that’s hard to do when much of it is in everyday products we buy in stores and restaurants,” said Sylvia Burwell, secretary of of Health and Human Services.

“Today’s announcement is about putting power back in the hands of consumers.”

Several medical groups — including the American Heart Association, American Academy of Pediatrics and American Medical Association — endorsed the guidelines, which were released in draft form.

People can file comments before the FDA issues a final version.

Some companies also voiced their support. Mars, the maker of Uncle Ben’s rice, said it reduced sodium in its products by 25% from 2007 to 2012. The company plans to reduce sodium an additional 20% by 2021, according to a statement.

Some experts say the link between high sodium levels and heart disease isn’t as clear as the FDA suggests.

While reducing sodium and increasing fiber can reduce blood pressure in people with hypertension, such dietary changes may not help the twothirds of Americans who have normal blood pressure, said Steven Nissen, chairman of cardiovascular medicine at the Cleveland Clinic.

A 2011 JAMA study in which doctors followed nearly 3,700 healthy people for about eight years found a link between lower sodium levels and heart disease.

“The science is uncertain,” said Steven Nissen, chairman of cardiovascular medicine at the Cleveland Clinic.

“If you’re in the general population, I can’t support the widespread recommendation to reduce sodium intake without better science.”

40 DEAD TIGER CUBS FOUND IN FREEZER AT THAI TEMPLE

Forty dead tiger cub carcasses were found in a freezer at a Buddhist temple in Thailand, wildlife authorities said Wednesday.

“They must be of some value for the temple to keep them,” Adisorn Nuchdamrong, deputy director-general of Thailand’s Department of National Parks, told the Reuters news agency.

“But for what is beyond me,” he said.

The animals were found in the nation’s infamous Tiger Temple, a monastery and wildlife parktourist attraction in Kanchanaburi province west of Bangkok. A raid to remove live animals from the temple began Monday amid an investigation into suspected wildlife trafficking and abuse.

— Kim Hjelmgaard TWO MEN DEAD AFTER MURDER-SUICIDE ROCKS UCLA

Two men were killed in what authorities said was a murder-suicide at the University of California-Los Angeles on Wednesday, provoking a massive police response that left thousands on campus on lockdown.

Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck said the university is now considered safe, but officers continued to search buildings out of an abundance of caution.

Beck said a weapon was found at the scene of the shooting inside an office in the Engineering

IV building, also known as Boelter Hall. He could not confirm reports a suicide note was found.

A French navy ship searching for the EgyptAir plane that crashed last month picked up signals deep in the Mediterranean Sea, presumably from the black boxes of the doomed Airbus A320, Egypt’s Civil Aviation Ministry said Wednesday.

EgyptAir Fight 804 went down May 19 en route from Paris to Cairo, killing all 66 passengers and crew on board. Radar tracking showed the plane turned abruptly and sharply at 38,000 feet before plummeting into the sea.

uGerman authorities are investigating alleged attacks on more than two dozen women at the Schlossgrabenfest music festival in Darmstadt over the weekend that bear similarities to mass sexual assaults elsewhere in Germany during outdoor New Year’s Eve gatherings. uA Pakistani woman, set on fire for refusing a marriage proposal from a man twice her age, has died Wednesday. Maria Sadaqat, 19, a teacher, was attacked by a group of men Sunday at her home near the town of Murree, according to media reports.

A sedated tiger is removed Wednesday from the Wat Pha Luang Ta Bua Tiger Temple in Thailand.

Authorities raided the Buddhist temple, where 137 tigers were kept, following accusations the monks were illegally breeding and trafficking endangered animals.

GLASGOW, SCOTLAND Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump will fly into Scotland later this month and straight into a barrage of protesters at his golf course in Ayrshire, Scotland.

The outspoken billionaire, whose mother is Scottish, is to attend the lavish official reopening of his refurbished Turnberry development June 24.

But he is expected to face a string of protests over comments he has made including that women should be punished for having abortions and a temporary ban on Muslims entering America.

He has also triggered outrage by calling for Mexico to pay for a wall on its border to prevent immigrants from crossing into the United States.

Campaigners are planning to disrupt his visit, which has been timed to coincide with the reopening of Trump Turnberry after a $288 million refurbishment.

Jonathon Shafi, from RISEScotland’s Left Alliance, who organized an occupation of Trump hotels this year, said: “There will be a protest.

“The possibility of a Trump presidency is important for the world, not just for America.”

He added: “Everywhere he goes he should be protested and these demonstrations should feature a broad coalition of everyone who is concerned about what a Trump presidency might mean — climate change activists, those interested in human rights, trade unionists and anti-racism campaigners, to name just a few.”

He added that Trump was “not part of a political party but rather of a radical right-wing insurgency” and was not fit to be president.

That view was echoed by Patrick Harvie, the Green member of the Scottish Parliament, who said that Trump was “not fit for the

JULY 2015 FILE PHOTO BY AFP/GETTY IMAGES

office he is seeking.”

He added: “It’s tempting to wait til he gets to Turnberry then build a wall round it and send him the bill.”

Trump’s visit to Scotland is the talk of Westminster amid speculation he could try to meet British Prime Minister David Cameron on the same trip.

Cameron has congratulated the New York tycoon on what he said was the “extraordinary marathon” that led to him securing the delegates for the Republican presidential nomination.

But he stopped short of congratulating Trump himself.

Cameron would not comment on previous remarks that a Trump visit to the U.K. “would unite us all against him,” saying he would be willing to meet Trump if he came to the U.K. Cameron had previously condemned Trump’s comments about Muslims as “stupid, divisive and wrong.”

At the time, however, Trump still seemed an outsider in the race for the Republican nomination.

First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon will not meet Trump, said Alex Salmond, the former first minister.

Left-wing alliance Rise has claimed that Trump, whose mother was from the Isle of Lewis, is damaging Scotland’s international reputation.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, whose mother is Scottish, is to attend the official reopening of his refurbished Turnberry development June 24.

Wildlife authorities shot and killed a grizzly bear Tuesday for repeatedly killing sheep over the past year as bears continue dispersing onto the plains east of the Rocky Mountains this spring.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Wildlife Services shot the bear from a helicopter as it was bedded down on the west shore of Lake Frances near Valier, Madel said. Valier is about 86 miles northwest of Great Falls.

The decision to remove the bear from the population was made after consultations between Fish, Wildlife and Parks, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Wildlife Services, he said.

On Sunday, the 6½-year-old bear, which weighed 352 pounds, killed a number of sheep at a ranch about 6 miles southeast of Valier, Madel said.

the private sector generally foreshadowed April’s disappointing employment report. Economists expect the ADP report to show 175,000 new jobs in May. And on the data point that really matters — Friday’s May employment from the Labor Department — economists expect 160,000 payroll gains in May, matching the previous month’s total. That would be below the recent 200,000-plus average, but primarily because of the Verizon strike that idled about 40,000 union workers.

Such a showing, along with a rise in wage growth, could help sway Fed policymakers to raise rates in June.

Currently, futures markets are predicting a 24% chance the Fed will hike in June, up from about 6% a month ago, according to options and futures exchange CME Group. For the July meeting, odds are now 60% vs. 19%.

Although the U.S. stock market fell 12% after the Fed raised rates in December, the increasing likelihood of another quarter-point increase doesn’t appear to worry Wall Street. The benchmark Standard & Poor’s 500 index is within 2% of an all-time high.

Brad McMillan, chief investment officer at Commonwealth Financial Network, says if the Fed does hike in June, the question will be how many more times will the central bank raise this year.

More than one or two would be a “big shift,” he says.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai said the Internet giant is open to returning its search business to China, if it could be done right, he told an industry conference Wednesday.

“If we can do it in the right and thoughtful way, we are always open to it,” Pichai said at the Code conference here. “I care about serving consumers everywhere.”

Google pulled out of mainland China and moved its Chineselanguage search engine to Hong Kong in 2010 after a series of cyber attacks on Google originated in the country. Google also said it would stop censoring search results in China.

The controversial move cut Google off from the fastgrowing Chinese market, one that has been courted by rival Facebook and conJEFFERSON GRAHAM, stitutes the USA TODAY second-biggest Google CEO market for Ap- Sundar ple. At the Pichai time, co-founder Sergey Brin said China’s censorship activities had echoed the “totalitarianism” of the Soviet Union, where he was born.

Due to a reorganization last year, Brin and co-founder Larry Page now run Alphabet, a holding company that includes the company’s “moonshot activities,” while Pichai runs Google. Last year, tech-industry news site The Information reported Google was seeking Chinese approval of its Google Play app store.

Much of Pichai’s session at Code was devoted to Google’s development of artificial intelligence for voice-activated searches. Pichai said Google sensed a shift in what it could do three to four years ago, performing more effective voice searches, and transitioned.

“We saw significant step changes,” he said. “We felt the inflection point and made a big shift internally.”

AI and machine learning are also being explored by rivals Amazon, Facebook and Apple.

Re/code’s Walt Mossberg asked Pichai if Google was better at it than competitors.

“We’ve been doing it longer,” he said, without answering the question specifically. “People have been asking questions to Google for a long time.”

Still, he agreed with a comment made by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos at Code on Tuesday night: “When it comes to machine learning and AI, it is still early days for all of us.”

MAY JOBS REPORT HANGS OVER ANXIOUS MARKETS

The big question: Is there enough strength for Fed to raise interest rates this month?

Paul Davidson @Pdavidsonusat USA TODAY

The big event is Friday, and every piece of economic data leading up to the May employment report is being parsed for clues whether the Federal Reserve is seeing the kind of strength that might prompt it to raise interest rates at a mid-June meeting.

Wednesday, two reports painted a mixed picture: uU.S. factory activity picked up more rapidly in May in a sign that the effects of weakness overseas and in the nation’s oil patch may be easing. The Institute for Supply Management’s manufacturing index rose to 51.3 from 50.8 in April. A reading above 50 indicates expansion, and one below that means contraction.

Economists expected 50.3 and said the report could give the Fed reason to believe the troubles that have plagued the nation’s factories may be waning. uThen the Fed’s beige book appeared to depict more sluggish activity than previous editions, saying the economy grew modestly across most of the nation in April and early May. Those reports followed news Tuesday that consumer spending increased a better-than-expected 1% in April, the most since August 2009.

But the report likely to get the most attention ahead of Friday is from payroll processor ADP on Thursday. A weaker-than-expected ADP report on jobs created in

JOBS FORECAST The U.S. labor market gained a lower-than-expected 160,000 jobs in April. Similar numbers are expected in May. Jobs added, in thousands:

Just last Friday, Fed Chair Janet Yellen said it’s “appropriate” to increase interest rates “gradually and cautiously … in the coming months” if data relating to the economy and jobs strengthen.

Car sales take a slide, but ‘the sky is not falling’ Despite 6% drop in May, auto sales still at near-record levels Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

The U.S. auto industry’s momentum slowed in May but remained at near-record highs as low gasoline prices continue to reshape the showroom floor.

U.S. auto sales declined 6% in May, compared with the same period a year earlier, in part due to two fewer selling days on the calendar.

The industry’s annualized selling rate — which gauges the overall pace of sales, putting the month in context — registered at 17.45 million units in May, according to Autodata Corp. That’s nearly equal to 2015’s full-year record of 17.5 million, but it was helped by a 7.1% increase in discounts, according to TrueCar. “We’re just not seeing the growth, but bear in mind sales remain at lofty levels,” AutoTrader .com analyst Michelle Krebs said.

“So the sky is not falling.”

Still, for the world’s three largest automakers — Toyota, Volkswagen Group and General Motors, in that order — it was a particularly rough month. Their

MAY SALES LEADERS Top auto sellers in May, with U.S. sales, change from month in 2015 and market share last month: Sales Chg.

sales fell 9.6%, 10.9% and 18% respectively.

Sales of cars, which just a few years ago represented one of the industry’s fiercest competitions, are tanking when compared to crossovers and SUVs. Cars now represent 40% of the market, down from more than half a few years ago, said Mark LaNeve, U.S. sales chief for Ford Motor, whose overall sales fell 5.9% for the month.

LaNeve described all Ford cars except the Focus compact and Fusion midsize sedan as “niche” products. Future offerings will be heavily concentrated in crossovers, sport-utility vehicles and pickup trucks, he said.

“That’s where consumers are going, so that’s where we’re leaning in,” LaNeve said.

Low gasoline prices — which averaged $2.33 per gallon as of Wednesday afternoon, according to GasBuddy.com — and improved fuel economy for bigger vehicles have changed the game.

Toyota’s Prius, the hybrid that long has been a stalwart of the Japanese automaker’s lineup, saw its sales fall 36% for the month compared to a year ago.

But Toyota is capitalizing off the transition, too.

The company’s RAV4 and 4Runner utilities were up 12% to 32,261 units and up 21% to 10,352 units, respectively.

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

“Earnings recession.”

The phrase, which is getting a fair amount of airtime amid three consecutive quarters of contracting profit growth for S&P 500 companies, has all sorts of negative connotations.

But don’t confuse an earnings recession — loosely defined as two or more quarters of yearover-year negative profit growth — with an economic recession, or at least two quarters in a row of negative GDP growth.

“Earnings recessions are nothing new for markets,” Anthony Valeri, investment strategist at LPL Financial notes in a primer on how earnings recessions impact stocks. He counts 12 profit recessions since 1954 for the

Ford growing, but analysts steer toward GM Q: Which big automaker’s stock is the best?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Auto sales in May from General Motors and Ford Motor were far from robust. The same goes for their shares, leading some investors to wonder if there’s opportunity.

GM and Ford, the two top U.S. automakers, have seen their shares sink 6% and 3%, respectively, this year as investors wisely buckled up for a sales slowdown. Ford on Wednesday reported a nearly 6% decline in U.S. auto sales — a steeper decline than some analysts were expecting.

The drop-off was even worse at GM, where U.S. sales fell 18%, also a deeper decline than predicted.

Wall Street remains more optimistic about GM than Ford. GM’s adjusted profit per share is expected to rise 12.6% in the current year and 3.5% in the next, S&P Global Market Intelligence says.

Analysts, on average, rate GM “outperform” and see the stock being worth $39.06 in 18 months, which is 29% higher than Wednesday’s price of around $30 a share.

It’s a less bullish story at Ford. The company’s adjusted profit is seen growing 9.3% in 2016, far more slowly than GM’s, and 1% in 2017. Analysts rate the stock a “hold” but still think it could be worth 23% more than Wednesday’s price of around $13 a share in 18 months.

New CFPB proposal takes aim at payday debt trap loans Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

Lenders who offer payday loans and other small-dollar advances would have to assess whether borrowers could afford and repay the debts, according to a federal rule set to be proposed Thursday.

The long-awaited Consumer Financial Protection Bureau proposal would cut off repeated debit attempts that hit overdue borrowers with additional fees and charges as lenders seek repay-

Payday lenders often charge interest rates approaching 400% a year.

ment. The regulator also launched an inquiry into other high-risk loans and practices not covered by the new proposal, in-

cluding open-end lines of credit and methods lenders may use to seize borrowers’ wages, vehicles or other personal property.

The rule proposal followed a 2014 CFPB study that found roughly 62% of all payday loans — often due within two weeks and carrying an annual interest rate of approximately 390% — go to consumers who repeatedly extend their repayments and ultimately owe more in fees than what they initially borrowed.

Half of borrowers who got high-interest loans online later were hit with an average of $185 in bank penalties for overdraft

and non-sufficient funds fees, another CFPB analysis found.

More than 80% of auto title loans, transactions in which consumers pledge their vehicles as collateral, are rolled over or extended on the day they’re due because borrowers can’t afford to pay them in full, the CFPB found.

“Too many borrowers seeking a short-term cash fix are saddled with loans they cannot afford and sink into long-term debt,” CFPB Director Richard Cordray said in a statement issued before a Thursday hearing scheduled on the issue. He said the proposal includes “common-sense lending

standards.”

Faith and community leaders planned to rally in support Thursday. But, noting that millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, Consumer Bankers Association CEO Richard Hunt said the plan could send consumers “to pawn shops, offshore lending and fly-by-night entities.”

Dennis Shaul, CEO of the Community Financial Services Association of America, said the proposal “sets a dangerous precedent” for federal agencies that craft consumer rules.

The plan is open for public comment until Sept. 14.

Gary Levin @garymlevin USA TODAY

Hollywood has a long way to go in diversifying its ranks of actors, writers and directors. But the network-TV business is miles ahead of its movie-studio counterparts, according to an analysis of the new primetime schedules announced last month.

ABC and Fox are leading the way, while inclusiveness in new CBS series lags.

Fox’s Empire — with an almost entirely black cast — is network TV’s top series among young adults, and Rosewood stars Morris Chestnut as Miami’s “private pathologist.” This fall, it’s launching Pitch, a drama about the (fictional) first female Major League Baseball pitcher, played by black

Casting directors claim there’s no mandate. “It’s the best actor for the role, and always has been,” says ABC’s senior VP Ayo Davis, citing Grey’s Anatomy and Lost as “tentpoles of color-blind casting.”

But in newer series, she’s proud that “these characters ... reflect the world that we live in.”

Adds Tess Sanchez, Fox’s senior VP-casting: “It’s built into the fabric ... and the history of the network. It’s not specific to diversity, it’s ‘How do we make it feel fresh?’ For me, it follows a reflection of our world.”

But it’s not yet a rainbow coalition everywhere: CBS’s fall lineup includes six new shows led by white men, though programming chief Glenn Geller last month defended the network’s record, pointing to midseason legal drama Doubt, with black transgender actress Laverne Cox, and Training Day, a remake of the 2001 movie starring Justin Cornwell.

NEW YORK Katie Couric knows that gun control is a loaded issue.

That’s why the veteran TV journalist is careful not to use the phrase when discussing her contentious new documentary Under the Gun, which debuted on cable network Epix last month and is available on demand and for digital HD download.

“The term ‘gun control’ makes everybody nervous, and it feels slightly radioactive,” says Couric, 59. “No one wants to be controlled; no one wants their ability to purchase and own firearms to be controlled. ‘Gun safety’ or ‘gun violence prevention’ is preferred.”

Gun, which Couric executive produced and narrated, is her second collaboration with director Stephanie Soechtig (after obe-

sity documentary Fed Up in 2014). The film aims to start a more informed conversation about gun safety by exploring the debate from all angles: historical, political and personal.

Gun has put Couric at the center of a firestorm. Audio recordings unearthed last week revealed that her interview with members

of the Virginia Citizens Defense League for the film was given an added dramatic pause in the editing process, to make it seem as if they were stumped by one of her questions. USA TODAY requested a comment from Couric after the news broke and was referred to her statement on the film’s website. In it, she noted how she questioned the “beat” when she screened an early version of the film with Soechtig and the documentary’s editor.

“I regret that those eight seconds were misleading and that I did not raise my initial concerns more vigorously,” Couric wrote.

Over the two-hour documentary, the filmmakers talk to opencarry advocates, National Rifle Association members, anti-gun activists and families of massshooting victims.

In making this documentary, Couric says, she learned that “there are a number of forces at work when it comes to our inability to come together as a nation and enact some sensible gun laws that would reduce gun violence,” which results in 33,000 deaths a

year in the USA, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Some of it is that the narrative has been co-opted by an extreme fringe of the gun lobby that doesn’t necessarily represent the members.” For example, she says, 74% of NRA members support universal background checks.

Couric, a longtime Today cohost and Yahoo’s global news anchor, spent more than two decades reporting for NBC, ABC and CBS, where she covered mass shootings at Columbine High School, Virginia Tech and Sandy Hook Elementary School. In that time, she has noticed how the ways in which people respond to such tragedies have changed.

In 2016, “there’s a certain desensitization,” Couric says.

“These shootings take place on such a regular basis on city streets across America. In Chicago, someone said to me, ‘We treat it like a traffic jam.’ We have become inured to how horrific this is, and that’s one thing we have to guard against: complacency.”

Sprint ‘trips’ valuable for KU When the 2016-17 Kansas University basketball schedule came out this week, the names of programs such as Kentucky, Duke and Indiana instantly captured eyes and attention, making it easy to ignore many other opponents on KU’s calendar.

In particular, the Jayhawks’ games at Sprint Center, in Kansas City, Mo., don’t exactly inspire one to start clearing off dates on the calendar.

KU will face two of the following three teams the week of Thanksgiving, at the CBE Hall of Fame Classic: UAB, Georgia and George Washington. Then, in mid-December, Davidson (yet to be re-named Steph Curry University for some reason) travels to K.C. to take on KU. Those are three lessthan-appealing games for Kansas’ fans, for sure. But when it comes to next season’s Kansas team, the short trips down I-70 are more about quantity than quality. It’s all about the venue, really.

Since Sprint Center opened in 2007, it has served as an easy spot for KU to play “neutral” regular-season games in front of thousands of its fans. And, unless Kansas is facing Iowa State or Kansas State, the Jayhawks generally enjoy a similar environment for Big 12 tournament contests.

Coach Bill Self’s Jayhawks are 31-6 all-time at their home away from home, following their victory over West Virginia in the conference title game this past March.

Next season, Kansas is expected to run its regularseason Big 12 title streak to 13, meaning another No. 1 seed for the league tourney. Barring an upset along the way, KU, led by Frank Mason III, Devonté Graham, Landen Lucas, Carlton Bragg Jr., Josh Jackson and Svi Mykhailiuk, should play — and win — six games at Sprint before the NCAA Tournament begins.

That’s where things really get interesting for KU. Kansas City isn’t just hosting two rounds of March Madness in 2017. The Midwest regional champion will be crowned at Sprint Center. The Jayhawks have

For the past decade, Free State High’s football program has enjoyed quarterback play at the highest level thanks to a heck of a string of talented QBs. Ryan Murphy, Craig Rosenstengle, Camren Torneden, Dylan Perry, Kyle McFarland, Joe Dineen and Bryce Torneden all took their turn under center for the Firebirds and all helped deliver some of the biggest wins and most memorable plays in school history.

While that stretch might continue this fall, the identity of the player who will take the snaps for coach Bob Lisher’s squad is unknown at the moment.

“The quarterback competition is very open,” Lisher said Wednesday afternoon following the second day of the Firebirds’ non-contact

summer camp. “It’s a little less known to us what’s gonna happen, but it should be a good competition. We’ll see who picks it up the fastest and go with that person.”

Competing for the job is a trio of QBs who arrived at this point through different paths. Junior Gage Foster was the primary back-up to Kansas-bound Bryce Torneden in 2015. Sophomore Jordan Preston received more game reps than Foster, but those came at the freshman level.

And then there’s Topeka Hayden transfer Dallas Crittenden, a senior who started for Hayden as a junior in 2015.

Lisher said each quarterback brings something a little different to the competition and added that the weeklong camp was not necessarily the place the job will be won or lost, rather a good starting point for all three.

Of course, replacing Bryce Toreden’s production from the quarterback spot is just

one of the challenges facing the Free State offense. Also gone is running back Sam Skwarlo and, as things stand today, the idea of reloading with two players who can slide in and produce the way that dynamic duo did just isn’t realistic.

“It takes all 11,” Lisher said.

“Those guys were surrounded by some pretty good football players themselves last year. And that’s what we’re gonna have to have, 11 people giving the best they have.”

Two Firebirds who have the potential — and therefore the responsibility — to fill a good portion of those shoes are senior receiver Zack Sanders and senior running back Zion Bowlin. Both have extensive varsity experience and both said they learned a lot from the play-makers that came before them.

Former Mississippi State basketball combo guard Malik Newman, who has announced plans to transfer from the SEC school after one season, is expected to visit Kansas University and North Carolina State in the

near future, Jon Rothstein of CBSsports.com reported Wednesday.

Rothstein said the KU visit would be this week.

In response, Newman’s dad, Horatio Webster told Zagsblog.com: “We have not set up one visit. We haven’t even gotten our release yet.”

Newman, who was ranked

No. 8 in the recruiting Class of 2015 by Rivals.com, initially chose his dad’s alma mater over KU and Kentucky. Newman, a McDonald’s All-American originally from Jackson, Miss., averaged 11.3 points a game off 39.1 percent shooting his freshman season at MSU. KU still has two scholar-

ships to award in recruiting. The Jayhawks have been pursuing former Duke point guard Derryck Thornton, who has a final list of KU, Washington, Miami and USC, as well as McDonald’s All-America forward Jarrett Allen, 6-9 Please see HOOPS, page 3C

Irving, Texas (ap) — Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby wants conference leaders to make decisions one way or the other on the lingering topics of expansion, a football championship game and a league network by the end of the summer.

Athletic directors spent about 90 minutes during the Big 12 spring meetings Wednesday in what were termed “philosophical discussions” about those issues that will ultimately be decided by the league’s board of directors comprised of school presidents and chancellors.

The 10 directors, which include interim leaders at Baylor, Kansas State and Texas Tech, will join the conference meetings Thursday and Friday. They will have a signifi-

GOLDEN STATE’S STEPHEN CURRY GESTURES DURING PRACTICE WEDNESDAY in Oakland, Calif., on the eve of Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

LeBron, Curry square off again

Oakland, Calif. (ap) — LeBron versus Steph. King James versus the Baby-faced Assassin. Nike versus UnderArmour.

Any way you slice it, it’s a dream matchup for the league in the NBA Finals. Again.

A second straight championship showdown between LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers and Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors puts the league’s two brightest stars on its biggest stage.

It could also mark the beginnings of a new rivalry between the long-time face of the league and the shooting supernova threatening to supplant him.

“It’s really annoying for me. That’s not what I’m playTENNIS ing for, to be the face of the NBA or to be this or that or to Murray advances take LeBron’s throne or whatto French semis ever,” Curry said Wednesday, one day before the Warriors Paris — Entertaining as his host the Cavs in Game 1. “You French Open quarterfinal might know, I’m trying to chase rings, have been, Andy Murray hardly and that’s what I’m all about. enjoyed the experience.

on the planet” during the finals.

He played like it, too, averaging 35.8 points, 13.3 rebounds and 8.8 assists while carrying a Cavs team missing Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love through six games in the series.

After Curry won his second MVP award this season in unanimous fashion — something no other player, including four-time winner James, had ever done — James offered a nuanced take on the achievement.

James said Curry’s numbers were tremendous, “but when you talk about most ‘valuable’ then you can have a different conversation, so, take nothing away from him, he’s definitely deserving of that award, for sure.”

On Wednesday, James expanded, saying “Steph was definitely the MVP of our league.”

“You guys make rivals,” James said. “I think it’s great for the sport. It’s great for all sports. I don’t think me and Steph, when you talk about rivalries, you talk about Carolina-Duke, you talk about Ohio State-Michigan. It’s hard to say LeBron and Steph. If there’s a smaller scale or another word for a rival.”

If not rivals, certainly peers at the top of the league’s food chain. They’ve both changed the league in different ways.

“I don’t think there’s just a face in the NBA,” Warriors

guard Klay Thompson said. “I think there are faces because it’s such a star-driven league. ... But I think it might be easier for the common fan to relate to Steph because it’s hard to be 6-8, 260 and have a 40-inch (vertical) and be the fastest guy on the floor.”

There are similarities between the locomotive and the lightning bolt.

They have reached the stratosphere within the league and global sporting conscience, have made their teammates better by virtue of their unparalleled skills and can take over a game in the blink of an eye. They also both were born in Akron, in the same hospital no less.

But there is not a lot of real estate to be sold on the common ground between James and Curry.

James has been a star since puberty, growing up with a single mother and under the glare created by the Sports Illustrated spotlight.

Curry grew up in the affluence created by father Dell’s 16-year NBA career with all the advantages but the size. He was overlooked by the power colleges and chosen seventh overall in 2010 because many scouts weren’t sure if he would be big enough and quick enough to play in the league.

BRIEFLY

Kansas City, Mo. — Mike Moustakas is going on the operating table, Chris Young is going into the Kansas City Royals’ rotation, Brett Eibner is going on the disabled list, and Dillon Gee is going to Triple-A Omaha.

Moustakas, who tore his right anterior cruciate ligament in a May 22 collision with teammate Alex Gordon, will undergo season-ending surgery Thursday, performed by Dr. James Andrews in Pensacola, Fla. Moustakas, a 2015 All-Star Game selection, hit .240 with seven home runs in 27 games before the injury. Gordon fractured his wrist during the collision and is on the disabled list.

Eibner joined them on the disabled list due to a left ankle sprain. Eibner injured his ankle Tuesday night while chasing down Brad Miller’s triple in the fifth inning of the Royals’ 10-5 victory over Tampa Bay. “You just get through them,” Royals manager Ned Yost said of the injuries. “The thing is everybody wants to make a big deal about it, but we don’t make excuses about anything. If we start, ‘Oh, you know we’re losing guys,’ we don’t think like that. We feel like we’ve got enough to continue to complete. We deal with it.

“It’s not that we’re not sorry it happened. We don’t want it to happen, but we feel like we can cover it.”

Eibner had an MRI that revealed no break.

Gee, who was the winning pitcher Tuesday, was optioned to Triple-A Omaha. Gee gave up four runs and nine hits, including a home run, and a walk in five innings against the Rays. Gee, who was with the New York Mets the previous six seasons, is 2-2 with a 4.28 ERA in 11 games.

night and a 2-0 lead in the Stanley Cup Final.

Game 3 is Saturday night in San Jose.

Sharks defenseman Justin Braun tied it with 4:05 left in regulation, but San Jose fell to 0-4 when pushed to overtime in the playoffs.

Sidney Crosby won a faceoff in the San Jose zone and dropped it to Kris Letang. Letang feigned a shot

and instead fed it to Sheary, who quickly whipped it by Jones for his fourth goal of the postseason and second of the series.

Phil Kessel picked up his 10th goal of the playoffs for Pittsburgh.

Matt Murray made 21 saves to help the Penguins move within two victories of the fourth championship in franchise history.

The Jayhawks will kick off the second season of the David Beaty era at 6 p.m. on Sept. 3 against Rhode Island.

The Jayhawks will play host to Ohio at 1:30 p.m. on Sept. 10 and travel to Texas Tech on Thursday, Sept. 29 — after the Sept.

“Last year he always told me not to just be content with where I was. There’s always someone else out there working as hard or harder than you.”

Added Bowlin: “They were freak athletes, but I think we’ll be able to fill those roles pretty well.”

Lisher agreed and said one of the reasons the Firebirds have been so fortunate at the QB position over the past several years was the pride and passion of the players stepping in to fill the role left by the QB before him.

“They were great athletes and good football players,” he said of Torneden and Skwarlo.

Royals go 6-0 on homestand Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The Kansas City Royals will spend the next 11 days on the road after completing their best homestand in nearly three decades.

Danny Duffy pitched six effective innings, and rookie Whit Merrifield had two hits and scored a run as the Kansas City Royals beat the Tampa Bay Rays 6-3 on Wednesday night to complete a 6-0 homestand.

The last time the Royals had a homestand of 6-0 or better was June 2-8, 1988, when they went 7-0.

“It feels good. I wish we could stay here another week,” said Jarrod Dyson, who had a sacrifice bunt, stole a base, walked, scored a run and picked

up his sixth outfield assist.

Duffy (1-0) allowed three runs and seven hits, while walking none and striking out six over six innings, his longest outing since moving into the rotation on May 15.

“It’s nice, you have to take care of business at home,” Duffy said. “We didn’t lose in this series at home. It’s huge.”

Duffy was efficient, throwing only 40 pitches in the first four innings and 75 total. Early in his career he would get his pitch count up in a hurry.

“The only way to escape your past is be better than your past,” Duffy said. “Everybody grows in this game.”

Royals relievers Joakim Soria, Kelvin Herrera

and Wade Davis held the Rays scoreless over the final three innings. Davis picked up his 16th save in 17 chances, but not before walking one, giving up a hit and uncorking a wild pitch.

Merrifield has hit in his first 11 career starts, which is a Royals’ record.

He doubled in the first and scored on Lorenzo Cain’s single. He has scored a run in nine consecutive games, which matches a Royals rookie record set by Mike Aviles in 2008. Merrifield singled in the fourth for his seventh multihit game.

Chris Archer (3-7) gave up five runs, four earned, eight hits and two walks over six innings.

“We were down from the start really quick,”

Rays manager Kevin Cash said. “Archer came out and it looked like his thought was to pound the strike zone and their thought was not to take anything.”

The Royals’ offense included Cain going 3-for-4 with an RBI and scoring two runs. Cain has 24 RBIs in 20 games after driving in just 10 in his first 30. Kendrys Morales had two hits and drove in a run.

Curt Casali homered for the Rays, while Mikie Mahtook snapped a career-worst 0-for-19 skid with a third-inning double and scored on a single

by Brad Miller.

“Baseball players are dumb sometimes,” Casali said. “We try to overswing. That’s when we

get into fits and stuff doesn’t go the way we want it to. I’m not trying to hit home runs. I’m trying to hit the ball as hard as I can and put as quick of a swing as I can. Fortunately that was a good one.”

Trainer’s room Royals: 3B Mike Moustakas is scheduled to undergo season-ending right knee surgery today to repair a torn ACL. ... OF Brett Eibner went on the DL with a left ankle sprain. ... C Salvador Perez, who has missed four games because of a bruised thigh, took batting practice and did some light running. He could return sometime during the four-game series at Cleveland.
