Woman pleads guilty in 2014 slaying

Governor: No cuts planned ‘IT’S NEVER TOO LATE’ this month

Nearly two years after a Lawrence woman was slain in her New York Street home, the woman police said is responsible pleaded guilty to the crime.

Thursday morning Angelica Kulp, 40, pleaded guilty to felony counts of second-degree murder and aggravated burglary. Initially a single charge of firstdegree murder was filed against her. That

charge was changed as a part of her plea agreement, said Prosecuting Attorney Eve Kemple.

On July 26, 2014, Christine Kaplan, 56, was found dead in her home at 1117 New York St., Kemple said.

Friends of the family came by the house to finish some yard work and when one entered the home in search of a broom he found Kaplan’s body downstairs.

$74.5M shortfall spurs questions on estimating process

Topeka — Gov. Sam Brownback’s office said Thursday that he does not plan to make any more spending cuts this month, despite a $74.5 million shortfall in May revenues.

“The budget office is looking at using fee funds held by some cabinet agencies, where there is discretion in the use of those funds, to balance the budget for the remainder of the Brownback fiscal year,” Brownback’s spokeswomInside: an Eileen Hawley Legislator’s said. “We are not comment anticipating further that transallotments.” gender people That will come suffer from as good news for “insanity” not workers at many backed by state programs and psychiatric agencies, including consensus.

Kansas University Page 2A in Lawrence which, coupled with its medical school in Kansas City, took a $7.2 million allotment cut earlier this year, and was cut an additional $10.7 million for the new fiscal year that begins July 1.

The revenue report that was released Wednesday stunned many observers because the official estimates of how much money the state should take in were just revised downward in mid-April.

But even with those lower estimates, individual income tax revenues came in $58 million below the mark, and corporate income taxes were $15 million below estimates.

It would be 25 years before he entered a classroom again.

“I had a corridor of doors that just would not open for me,” Akin told his fellow graduates of the Lawrence Adult Learning Center. “Growing up my family, like a lot of families, suffered from alcohol abuse in our home. At an early age my dad wrecked the truck, fought the police, went to jail, left us every time things got tough.”

Akin was one of 91 students who earned their high school diploma or GED from the Lawrence Adult Learning Center, and among about 30 who gathered to celebrate the occasion at South Middle School on Thursday.

Lawrence school board President Vanessa Sanburn commended graduates for the commitment and dedication it took to complete their high school education and expand the opportunities available to them.

“I imagine many of you had moments along this path when you considered giving up so you could put more hours in at work, spend more time taking care of your family,” Sanburn said. “I’m sure there were many important things that were competing for your attention and limited time.

Commissioner Lisa Larsen and Vice Mayor Leslie Soden discussed the idea of setting aside one day for residents to legally discharge fireworks.

sion Wednesday when he said transgender individuals suffer from a form of “insanity.”

His remarks came during debate over a nonbinding resolution condemning the Obama administration’s new guidelines on Title IX compliance that instruct schools to allow transgender students to use restrooms and locker rooms and to participate in other sex-segregated activities that correspond to their gender identity.

“You’re either male or you’re female, and it’s not changeable,” Fitzgerald, R- Fitzgerald Leavenworth, said on the Senate floor. “It’s reality.

Inability to deal with that reality, or to recognize that reality, is disoriented, and can be disoriented to the point of insanity.”

“I’m not surprised that those who are confused about their sex have a high rate of suicide,” Fitzgerald added. “Suicide does have a high rate with those who are afflicted with some form of insanity.”

That raised immediate questions about whether the estimating process itself is still flawed, or if something unexpected happened in the Kansas economy.

In announcing the numbers, the Kansas Department of Revenue suggested it could be both.

“Large company layoffs and struggles in the aviation, oil and agricultural industries point to an overall sluggish economy which contributed to lower-than-expected revenue receipts,”

Police found dozens of “incised wounds” all over Kaplan’s body, including her neck, chest and hands, Kemple said. Kulp’s fingerprints and footprints were also found in Kaplan’s blood, and she was soon named a suspect in the slaying.

The previous summer Kulp stayed at Kaplan’s home, Kemple

— Dr. Jack Drescher, American Psychiatric Association distinguished life fellow

Association, which publishes the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM, the accepted standard for classifying mental illnesses, being transgender is no longer considered a mental disorder.

But the APA’s acceptance of the condition is a relatively recent development, said Dr. Jack Drescher, an APA distinguished life fellow who was a member of the working group that wrote the section on sexual and gender identity disorders for the latest version of the manual, commonly known as the DSM-5.

“The DSM-5 came out in 2013, and ‘gender dysphoria’ replaced a previous diagnosis called gender identity disorder, which had been in the DSM since 1980,” Drescher said. “But the phenomenon of people having gender dysphoria has been around for a long time, and people have been providing medical treatment for change in Europe since the 1920s.”

The manual defines gender dysphoria as “a conflict between

a person’s physical or assigned gender and the gender with which he/she/they identify.”

“People with gender dysphoria may be very uncomfortable with the gender they were assigned, sometimes described as being uncomfortable with their body (particularly developments during puberty) or being uncomfortable with the expected roles of their assigned gender,” the manual states.

Some have argued that because the condition is still listed in the DSM, it still should be considered a mental disorder.

But Drescher said that is a misconception as well.

“Gender dysphoria is a diagnosis in the DSM-5, but it’s unlike any of the other diagnoses in the DSM. I think it’s the only diagnosis where, if you have the diagnosis, we don’t try to change the mind, but the treatment is to change the body.”

Drescher, who is a clinical professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at New York Medical College, and an adjunct professor

The idea hasn’t been mentioned to Khatib since, he said Thursday.

Though the extra resources may help in enforcement, it’s “hard to predict,” Khatib said. He’s suggesting the same amount of resources be dedicated to enforcing the ban for the next several years in order to track data and determine whether it helped.

Last Fourth of July weekend, Lawrence police received 264 fireworks-related calls and issued nine citations for violating the citywide fireworks ban, according to police department data. In 2014, there were 226 calls and 44 citations, though there were fewer confiscations than in 2015.

“I can’t guess,” Khatib said. “July 4 is on a Monday this year instead of a weekend day; sometimes we’re at the mercy of what day of the week it happens on. If it’s a Monday, maybe there

Another nine companies filed what are called nonWARN notices because the number of jobs affected were below the threshold for full notices. Another 234 jobs were affected by

those layoff notices, the vast majority of them in the Wichita area.

said. Kaplan was known to take in those in need of help, but apparently asked Kulp to leave because she was running up the water bill and was disrespectful, she said.

Kaplan had also reported that she was afraid of Kulp, Kemple said.

Several days after Kaplan’s body was found, Kulp was arrested in Topeka on an unrelated incident where she burglarized an acquaintance’s house. She was reportedly found hiding in the backyard with $18.10

worth of stolen change in her pockets.

After she was declared competent to stand trial

by Larned State Hospital, Kulp pleaded guilty to one felony count of aggravated burglary, according to Shawnee County Court records. She was sentenced to serve nearly three years in prison, followed by two years of post-release supervision.

In January, 11 months into her sentence, Kulp requested to be transferred to Douglas County in order to face the

charges against her for Kaplan’s death.

Thursday morning Kulp appeared before Douglas County District Court Judge Kay Huff, her arms shaking, she explained, due to the effect her medication has on the nervous system.

Kulp spoke softly when answering Huff’s questions, noting she did not wish to proceed to a trial by jury.

“It’s just too stressful.

I’m guilty and I know I’m guilty and I don’t think it’s worth your time or the court’s time or the

lawyer’s time or the prosecutor’s time,” she said.

Huff accepted Kulp’s guilty pleas and ordered the completion of a presentence investigation.

Depending on Kulp’s criminal history she could face over 65 years in prison, Huff said. She is scheduled to be sentenced at 2 p.m. July 1. Her sentence will run consecutive to her sentence in Shawnee County.

extra officers would be compensated for both overtime and holiday pay for a total of $75 per hour.

Khatib said in the memo that, although the funds to add the extra officers “is not insignificant,” the “limiting factor” would really be getting officers to work that weekend.

The department will ask for volunteers for the shifts before making it mandatory. Extra officers are already assigned July 4 to be present at the public fireworks display in downtown Lawrence, he said.

Besides the extra officers, Lawrence is

planning to boost its communication to residents about the ban.

To address residents’ concerns about veterans, the city will attempt to educate about the negative reactions fireworks can cause in those with PTSD. Brooklynne Mosley, a U.S. Air Force veteran and commander of VFW post 842 in Lawrence, explained to commissioners May 10 that some veterans over the Fourth of July weekend felt they were “not in a safe space.”

It’s difficult to deal with just fireworks calls. It’s hard to predict. There’s always something that can come along that will absorb those resources.”

— Lawrence Police Chief Tarik Khatib

will be fewer of other types of calls and we can concentrate more on fireworks.”

Police have historically handled an increase in other types of crimes over July 4 weekend, including fights, alcohol offenses and domestic disturbances. According to Khatib’s memo, the month of July 2015 had the second-most calls of the year to police dispatch, with 3,969.

“It’s difficult to deal with just fireworks calls,” Khatib said. “It’s hard to predict. There’s always something that can come along that will absorb those resources.”

There are other challenges in enforcing the ban, Khatib explained.

Namely, it’s the length of time it takes to confiscate and destroy fireworks — an estimated

30-minute process. The process could take longer if a citation is issued or if the violator is a minor. Because officers can’t issue citations to minors, they choose between warning them, confiscating the fireworks or taking them to the Juvenile Detention Center for a full offense and arrest report.

Commissioner Matthew Herbert suggested earlier this month focusing solely on confiscation and not citing people, in an effort to save time.

Khatib said Thursday officers could use their discretion on what action to take.

In a breakdown of the cost of extra officers, Khatib notes the average officer’s pay is currently $30 per hour. With overtime, the pay jumps to $45 per hour, and on July 4 — a city holiday — the

at New York University, also said that scientists do not know what causes gender dysphoria.

“We don’t know why people feel this way. We just know that when people feel this way fairly strongly enough, efforts to change their minds have never worked, and that’s why the standard of care has been to help people change,” he said.

“Not everybody gets the same amount of services in terms of what they do for transition,” he added. “But pretty much, the national consensus is that most people who get treatment do better after they get the treatment. That is, they feel better when they’re allowed to change.”

Drescher also dismissed the assertion, made by many who supported Wednesday’s legislative resolution, that being transgender is a voluntary lifestyle choice.

“Why would people voluntarily choose to be despised and stigmatized by their neighbors?” he said.

“I can say it’s not a choice in the sense of whether I choose to live in New York or Kansas, or whether I choose to be an Episcopalian or a Roman Catholic,” he added. “It’s not that kind of choice. It’s something that is usually very deeply felt, and the reason why people let other people know about it is because hiding it usually feels worse.”

Thomas the Tank Engine headlines big Baldwin train event

A

s he has for the past 13 years, Thomas the Tank Engine will be pulling his weight for Midland Railway the first two weekends of June.

Midland Railway’s annual Day Out with Thomas will be today, Saturday and Sunday and again June 10, 11 and 12. It’s the nonprofit historical railroad’s biggest annual fundraiser and provides about a tenth of its annual operating revenue, said Allen Kinsley, Midland Railway general manager. That’s quite a feat when you consider Kinsley says it costs the railroad about

$200,000 to put on the event.

The toddler superstar has shouldered that fundraising responsibility, annually attracting about 24,000 visitors.

This year, he’ll have help from his BFF Percy the Small Engine, who will be available for rides out of Midland’s home at Baldwin City’s Santa Fe Depot, 1515 High St. Some of those riding behind Thomas this year will experience firsthand an improvement Thomas made possible. Kinsley said Midland refurbished one of its 1930s passenger cars with last year’s Thomas proceeds and will later add air conditioning to the car.

Midland also purchased another passenger car with a non-functioning air conditioning system the railroad plans to

repair.

Thomas will start providing rides at 9 a.m. today and depart from the depot nine times before the event shuts down for the day at 6 p.m. Tickets to ride Thomas are $19.

Percy tickets are only available for those who purchased a Thomas ride, and cost another $10, Kinsley said. Tickets can be purchased online via a link from Midland’s homepage, midlandrailway.org, or at the gate.

There is no admittance without the purchase of a ride ticket, except when all the day’s rides are sold out, Kinsley said. Should that happen,

grounds tickets can be purchased for $12.

Percy is not the only new attraction this year as Midland looks to keep the event fresh, Kinsley said. Changes start with the layout of the grounds, which are now all on the depot’s enlarged gravel parking lot or west of the depot. Also new will be a food court near the event’s vendors.

Added this year is a Thomas-themed bouncy house, live music, the Great Parakeet Adventure where children can feed and interact with parakeets, and a magic show. Returning attractions include

photos opportunities with Sir Topham Hatt of “Thomas and Friends,” the Imagination Station filled with plastic and wooden toys for children’s enjoyment, and a petting zoo.

Free parking will be available at the Baldwin school district’s west campus. Signs on U.S. Highway 56 will direct visitors to the lots at the two schools, where air conditioned buses will provide free rides to and from the depot.

ordered the White House to hand over hundreds of hours of tapes of conversations in the Oval Office that had been secretly recorded. The White House refused and appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Nixon White House had never been particularly forthcoming with information, and the people there had little apparent respect for the authority of any other branch of government to tell them what they could or could not do, up to and including the secret bombing of Cambodia.

So there was naturally great concern about how Nixon would respond to a Supreme Court order to hand over the tapes — tapes that everyone knew would lead to the search for the proverbial “smoking gun” that would bring Nixon down.

As the political tension reached its zenith, the question being asked in American living rooms throughout the country was, “If the president of the United States doesn’t have to obey a court order, why should anyone else?” It challenged the very fundamental American notion that no person is above the law,

not even the president.

Ultimately, the only power any court has is the power that the public agrees it has. Its power is based on the shared public acceptance that its rulings, however much one might disagree with them, must be obeyed.

Day in and day out, that sentiment generally goes unquestioned in Kansas and across the country.

It was a constitutional crisis in the truest sense of the term. In the end, though, Nixon did turn over the tapes, which did produce the “smoking gun.” Whatever support he had left in Congress by that time suddenly evaporated, and before the week was out Nixon had resigned.

Later, during a series of interviews with British TV host David Frost, Nixon gave this bonechilling assessment about his view of presidential power: “When the president does it, that means it is not illegal.”

“By definition?” Frost asked. “Exactly, exactly,” Nixon replied.

Frost was asking about the president’s power to order covert intelligence operations, both at home and abroad, in the interests of national security.

And Nixon’s response reflected the kind of expansive view about presidential power that historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr. had

“I think this is what you prepare for the entire time. I’m lucky to be playing in the championship game no matter what happens or what the outcome is.”

Harrell-Miller, who grew up on a farm south of Lawrence, traveled to San Diego to watch the finale with her teammate, Todd Durkin. The winning competitors were awarded a prize of $300,000, the amount they had earned throughout various challenges

described in the title of his 1973 book, “The Imperial Presidency.”

Fast-forward to the present and Wednesday’s Senate GOP caucus meeting.

“Eventually, we’re going to have to stand up to this court and let them know that we are the Legislature, they are not the Legislature. Capitulating with them is, I think, a poor strategy and would continue to be unsuccessful,” said Sen. Jeff Melcher, of Leawood.

“We are the appropriators. We are the policymakers. End of discussion,” said Sen. Julia Lynn, of Olathe.

“We’re going to listen to a court that can’t even follow the law?” asked Sen. Greg Smith, of Overland Park. “They have one job, and one job only, and that is to reason and listen to the evidence and make an opinion. And that’s all it is, an opinion.

They can’t tell us what to do. They can opine, and that’s the end of their authority.”

In the Nixon era, the fear was that his expansive sense of presidential power could erode the power of the other branches, along with public confidence in them. The president, after all, is a citizen like everyone else. If Nixon could defy the court, why couldn’t anybody?

of the competition.

Filming for the show was completed in the fall, but Harrell-Miller was unable to reveal the outcome of each episode before it aired, even to members of her family.

In the final episode, Harrell-Miller and Durkin — the “yellow” team — lost the first challenge, finishing an obstacle course in 2 minutes, 55 seconds. The opposing “blue” team completed the course in 2 minutes, 42 seconds.

Likewise, if taken to their logical extreme, the comments of those legislators Wednesday might lead one to ask: If the Legislature doesn’t have to obey a court order, why should a divorced parent who has been ordered to pay child support? Why should any debtor who has been ordered to repay his creditor?

It seemed that the only thing missing from Wednesday’s debate was for someone to stand up and say, “When the Legislature does it, that means it is not illegal.”

Burdett Loomis, a Kansas University political science professor and an active Democrat, said it’s not unreasonable to think that Kansas is witnessing the emergence of an “Imperial Legislature.”

“It does strike me that the Legislature thinks that whatever it does should not be questioned,” he said. “And it’s even broader than that. They think they represent the state, so if they want to not enforce federal laws, or reach down to the local level and tell localities what to do, all wisdom resides in the state and the state Legislature.”

Loomis, who worked briefly in Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius’ administration, said the trend became noticeable after Brownback and his

The yellow team won the prelude to the second challenge, a tug-of-war. The second challenge was a race to move 20-pound kettle bells to the other team’s side the fastest; the yellow team won.

The third competition of the finale was a tower of strength challenges. The yellow team completed the tower in 3 minutes, 42 seconds; the blue team finished in 3 minutes, 29 seconds, to win the competition.

conservative allies swept the 2010 elections in Kansas, wresting control of the Kansas House from the coalition of Democrats and moderate Republicans who had formed an effective governing majority. And it was sealed two years later when conservatives purged the Kansas Senate of most moderate Republicans in the 2012 GOP primaries.

In some ways, Loomis said, what Kansas is seeing now goes beyond what America saw in the Nixon White House.

“I think in the end, it was the legislative branch that came to Nixon and said, you’ve got to go. It was Nixon defying the court in every way,” he said. “Here you’ve got both the governor and the Legislature. The governor could have stepped up and demanded the Legislature confront the issues before it. But he was unwilling and they were unwilling.”

Brownback so far has not said whether he will call a special session later this month to deal with the school finance issue. And even if he did, it remains unclear whether the Legislature can muster the votes to pass a bill that would satisfy the court.

while Back was arrested in Leavenworth County on May 27, 2015.

After Back’s weeklong trial in April, jurors deliberated for about two hours before returning with a unanimous guilty verdict.

Thursday afternoon Back appeared in court, where Douglas County District Court Judge Sally Pokorny denied defense attorney Dakota Loomis’ motion for a new trial.

Back also heard statements from Lautenschlager’s family asking Pokorny to give him the maximum sentence permitted.

Calling the murder “about as senseless” as any she had ever seen, Pokorny sentenced Back to serve more than 23 years in prison for the intentional second-degree murder charge and six months in prison for the theft conviction.

When asked if he wished to address the court, Back declined.

Defense attorney Branden Smith said he plans to appeal the case.

BELOW: Commencement speaker Shine Adams offers encouragement to graduates. Adams, who received his GED four years ago, is the director of the local nonprofit Sun Cedar.

Akin told those gathered that he decided to go back to school when he got to a place in his job where he felt stuck.

He said the teachers at the center made great efforts to help him learn, including working with him one-on-one if needed.

“Every time I left school I felt a sense of accomplishment,” Akin said. “I’ve grown a lot since coming to the Adult Learning Center.

I’ve never had this many doors in my corridor before, and I’m going to see how many I can open.”

Shine Adams, who earned his GED through the Lawrence Adult Learning Center in 2012, also addressed the graduates. Adams did not participate in graduation at that time and returned as an honorary graduate on Thursday.

After earning his GED, Adams attended college and is now the director of Sun Cedar, a nonprofit manufacturing organization that offers employment and training to at-risk members of the community.

“I dropped out of school in 1992 when I was a freshman in high school,” Adams said. “I resented it, I thought I was better than it. When I came here it was time for me to reanalyze all of my thinking.”

Adams said the staff at the center “met him in the middle” and recognized that he and other students might approach things differently.

KASSANDRA LIEN PLAYS HER ACCORDION AT A PAST “SPARK: FACING OUR FIRE” VARIETY SHOW. “Spark,” which features a diverse lineup of musicians, comedians, magicians, spoken-word artists and other performers from the Lawrence community, is held on the first Friday of every month at the Lawrence Percolator, 913 Rhode Island St.

‘The thoughtful meets the silly’ at diverse Percolator show

arah Jean Robinson’s “little brainchild” of a variety show isn’t just any variety show, she says.

At “Spark: Facing Our Fire,” guests are invited to “come for the laughs, stay for the paradigm shifts.” It’s a tagline of sorts for the monthly performances that have become a staple at the Lawrence Percolator, 913 Rhode Island St., since October.

“The thoughtful meets the silly,” to quote Robinson, at 6:30 p.m. every first Friday of the month here, enlisting everyone from spokenword artists and fire eaters to magicians, musicians, contortionists and comedians in the show that Robinson, a car-dealership sales representative by day and performer by night, launched last fall with the hope of empowering and providing a platform for Lawrence’s untapped talent.

“I really try and keep my cast as genderequal and racially diverse as possible,” says

If you go “Spark: Facing Our Fire” starts at 6:30 p.m. at the Lawrence Percolator, 913 Rhode Island St. The suggested donation for the performance is $10.

Robinson, who likes to think of “Spark” as a “community enrichment program” that’s also just really, really entertaining.

“I have to be on the hunt for female (performers) and people of color to be in my show,” she says. “It’s not a lack of artistry — it’s a lack of confidence, especially with women. I’ve had to talk

women into, ‘You’re ready, you’re good enough, you’re smart enough and doggone it, people like you!’ And they do it, and they succeed.”

In the past, Robinson might have resorted to “wrangling people, sometimes physically” in order to fill a lineup — “people who are shy or feel disenfranchised” or otherwise not paid attention to. It’s grown since then, so much so that Robinson hopes to expand the show (each edition of “Spark” runs about an hour and a half), take on an assistant to help with logistics and such, and at some point, launch a “Spark” school that would offer classes in everything from drama to circus skills.

Today’s program includes more fire eating, plus some accordion playing, the Juggling Dingus (what a name), and spoken-word performers Topher Enneking and John WhyteLyte, among others.

Tread carefully with friend’s offer to have affair Dear Annie: My wife and I have been good friends with “Bill” and “June’’ for 30 years.

Twelve years ago, my wife had surgery and lost all desire for sex.

She isn’t even interested in cuddling. Last year, Bill had a heart attack and is now afraid to exert himself in the bedroom.

Recently, June told me that Bill has given her permission to seek satisfaction elsewhere and asked if I was interested. I am, but I do not know how to approach the subject with my wife. Last year, when she discovered that one of our friends was cheating on his wife, she stated that if I ever did that to her, she would drop me like a hot potato and take me for everything I’m worth.

My wife goes on a lot of overnight trips for work, so I’m sure that

A decent demonic drama Is television bedeviled?

Just days after A&E canceled “Damien,” based on the rather tired “Omen” franchise, Fox announced that a remake of “The Exorcist” would be part of its fall 2016 lineup.

But fans of creepy dramas about demonic possession don’t have that long to wait. Debuting tonight, “Outcast” (9 p.m., Cinemax, TV-MA) adds a few new wrinkles to the genre. It moves its lugubrious tale to West Virginia coal country and subtracts the lurid, gothic Catholicism of “The Exorcist” in favor of an evangelical demon hunter.

“Outcast” begins slowly with all the standard visual tricks: grim-looking houses, peeling paint, ticking clocks and eerie close-ups of ominous insects.

Then, after all but boring us with these cliches, Joshua (Gabriel Bateman), a clearly troubled young boy, does something to jolt us out of our torpor. The devil, it seems, made him do it.

Joshua’s behavior is only the latest in a string of “dark” chapters to beset the small town of Rome. And many of them involve Kyle Barnes (Patrick Fugit), who had the misfortune of being abused as a child by his disturbed (or possessed?) mother. His marriage to Allison (Kate Lyn Sheil) ended badly.

Suffice it to say, the devil is in the details of Kyle’s ugly divorce. As “Outcast” begins, he’s living in a disheveled shack on the outskirts of town.

His only champions include adopted sister Megan (Wrenn Schmidt), a therapist with a skeptic’s disdain for all of the “devil” talk. Her husband, Mark (David Denman), the local police deputy, can’t stand the sight of Kyle, but his boss, Chief Giles (Reg E. Cathey), tends to have a more open mind about Kyle’s history fighting demons, and the Rev. Anderson (Philip Glenister), a local evangelical preacher, does too.

Not to give too much away, but as the pilot concludes it seems that Kyle has become a reluctant soldier in the Rev. Anderson’s battle with Satan’s minions.

Like AMC’s “Preacher,” “Outcast” is based on a comic book series. It’s much slower than “Preacher” and much more coherent, based more on character exploration than frantic action.

Tonight’s other highlights O After a minor accident, a teenage driver is stalked by the other party in the 2016 horror movie “Fender Bender” (8 p.m., Chiller, TV-14).

O Footage casts Jamie in a brutal light on “Blue Bloods” (9 p.m., CBS, TV-14).

O “Ben Gleib: Neurotic Gangster” (9 p.m., Showtime, TV-MA) offers stand-up observations.

you’ve had an offer for a commitment-free affair.

(Do not mention June’s name.) Ask her how she would feel about this. If she agrees, the rest is up to you, although sleeping with a close friend is likely to lead to all kinds of trouble.

Of course, your wife may be appalled at the suggestion, so your next step is to do whatever you can to repair the things that need fixing within your marriage before you start looking for “solutions’’ that could destroy it.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Friday, June 3: This year you will need to clear out a sufficient amount of pessimism that comes from others but affects you. Sort through random comments to find what is relevant to the end game. If you are single, you appreciate others’ attention, but you’ll want to stay away from negativity. You will have a better relationship with someone who is positive. If you are attached, the two of you often misunderstand or misread the other person’s behavior.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) +++ You have been struggling with someone’s lack of communication. Tonight: You will know what to do.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ++++ A friend might display aggravation, but the issue doesn’t have to do with you. Tonight: Go with the moment.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) +++ Whenever you try to put your best foot forward, someone seems to step on your toes.

Tonight: Stay out as late as you want.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ++++ A money issue could stop you in your tracks. Play today casually. Tonight: Time for friends.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ++++ Take a walk, and take a deep breath. Listen with awareness to a boss or higher-up.

Tonight: Till the wee hours.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) +++ Your ability to understand what is happening behind the scenes comes through. Tonight: Cheer the weekend in.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) +++ You understand a loved one’s needs, but it might be helpful to have a discussion. Tonight: Be present in the moment.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ++++ You might get to the bottom of a problem yet remain somewhat withdrawn. Tonight: Go along with someone else’s suggestion.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) +++ You have a lot to do, and might feel overwhelmed. Take better care of yourself. Tonight: On center stage.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ++++ You could be on top of a change, but your creativity is being tapped by other. Tonight: Express your playfulness.

Call the session Kansas officials need to tone down their rhetoric and figure out at least a short-term solution to keep K-12 public schools open.

T

he governor and state legislators can protest and posture all they want, but their rhetoric won’t do anything to resolve the state’s school finance crisis. The only way progress can be made is through a special legislative session, which Gov. Sam Brownback should schedule as soon as possible.

The Legislature’s decision this week to end its regular session without any meaningful attempt to address a Kansas Supreme Court ruling that threatens to cut off state funding to K-12 schools on July 1 was beyond disappointing to most Kansans. Instead of having any constructive discussions about the issue, the governor and legislators focused their attention on criticizing the court and trying to figure out ways to circumvent the court’s ruling that the current school funding plan has equity flaws that make it unconstitutional.

Their biggest complaint was that the court was, in Brownback’s words, “playing politics with our children’s education,” as if the actions of the legislative and executive branches in this matter had no political motivations. Individual lawmakers also suggested simply defying the court’s order and taking such desperate measures as proposing a constitutional amendment that would bar the court from closing schools or passing a bill saying the state treasurer couldn’t be found in contempt if he continued to disburse funds to school districts.

Any of those actions would only move Kansas closer to a serious constitutional crisis pitting branches of government against one another.

Is that what lawmakers think the people of Kansas want? At least one legislator, Sen. Dan Kerschen, R-Garden Plain, was talking some sense Wednesday, saying lawmakers should try to comply with the court ruling because that’s what the public wants. “What about the court of public opinion?” he asked.

“Who wins that battle? Because we’re losing it right now.”

Attacking the members of the Supreme Court may be a valid strategy for November elections, but it does nothing to solve the problem at hand, which is how to keep the K-12 public schools in Kansas open. One solution that likely would be accepted by the court, at least in the short term, is a return to the school finance formula that was in place before the state switched to a block grant system for this fiscal year and next. That would cost the state about $38 million during the next fiscal year, less than 1 percent of the K-12 budget.

Sen. Ty Masterson, R-Andover, compared allocating that money to paying ransom. His comparison is stunningly apt. Right now, the children of Kansas are the hostages in a damaging political standoff. Some of the public officials may pay a political price for their role in this situation, but the people who stand to lose the most are the children of Kansas.

They and the rest of the state deserve better. The governor needs to schedule a special session, and legislators need to return to Topeka with something other than political vengeance on their minds.

Get this matter resolved before Kansas once again becomes a national poster child for dysfunctional government.

Trump could enable China’s agenda Washington — Hong Kong television commentator Wu Jun observed recently that despite Donald Trump’s anti-Beijing rhetoric, he “could in fact be the best president for China.”

The Chinese analyst is right: A Trump presidency could open the way for China’s strategic dominance in Asia and elsewhere.

Wu’s comment was focused on Trump’s mercantilist style, evoking a world in which Trump and President Xi Jinping, two “big guys,” might sit around a table at Mar-a-Lago and cut deals

David Ignatius

davidignatius@washpost.com

“

China now speaks the language that, in America’s age of expansion, was known as ‘manifest destiny.’

This outward-looking vision of development and trade creates its own momentum.” without worrying about human rights. “The Republican Party is more practical and Trump is a businessman who puts his commercial interests above everything else,” Wu explained, according to the Associated Press.

But there’s a deeper, more dangerous way in which Trump might be an enabler for Chinese ascendancy. To put it bluntly, his policies would play into China’s narrative about the world — and undermine the foundations of American power in Asia, even as it bolstered a rising China.

Let’s start with the impact of a Trump presidency on the Muslim world. A South Asian chief executive of a global company put it bluntly. “There are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, and they won’t forget what Trump said” about ban-

ning Muslim immigrants to America. He predicted that Muslims would turn away from a Trump-led America — not just Iraqis and Syrians, but Malaysians and Indonesians, too. The beneficiary of this global rebalancing would be China, he warned.

President Obama recently noted the national-security damage caused by Trump’s comments. “Isolating or disparaging Muslims, suggesting they should be treated differently when entering this country — that is not just a betrayal of our values, that’s not just a betrayal of who we are, we alienate the very communities at home or abroad who are our most important partners in the fight against violent extremism,” Obama said in a graduation speech at Rutgers University.

Trump’s “America First” policies would reinforce the drift away from U.S. global leadership — in ways that would benefit China. The most obvious example is Trump’s disparagement of the trade deal known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (though he’s hardly the only miscreant here). As The Wall Street Journal noted, citing the views of Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, “An American failure to ratify TPP would bring about the very thing critics of the trade deal complain about: a more empowered China and bad terms

for U.S. goods and services.”

New Zealand’s Prime Minister John Key described the risk for America of TPP’s collapse, in a comment cited by the U.S. trade representative’s office: “If (the U.S.) abdicates leadership in the region, that role will get filled. It has to. In the end, these economies aren’t going to stand still.”

China has already started creating its own network for economic and political influence, anticipating the retreat of American power. In some eerie ways, these Chinese plans are reminiscent of the institutions through which America established its dominance in the post1945 world. As an alternative to the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, Beijing proposes the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. According to a Brookings Institution study, within five years, it could be lending $20 billion annually for regional development, roughly equivalent to what the U.S.-led World Bank lends.

China has its own version of the Marshall Plan, too, to supplant a waning American vision of internationalism.

Beijing’s blueprint for land and maritime dominance has the unlikely moniker, “One Belt, One Road.” It envisions transportation and infrastructure networks stretching from China by land to Moscow and Rotterdam, and by sea across

PUBLIC FORUM

Southeast Asia and along the African coasts, notes the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

China’s global ambition has its hubristic side; The Washington Post’s Simon Denyer recently chronicled the empty cities in western China that have been built in overeager anticipation of a new Silk Road. But China is big and rich enough to make mistakes. Argues Stanford professor Francis Fukuyama, “if ‘One Belt, One Road’ meets Chinese planners’ expectations, the whole of Eurasia, from Indonesia to Poland, will be transformed in the coming generation.”

China now speaks the language that, in America’s age of expansion, was known as “manifest destiny.” This outward-looking vision of development and trade creates its own momentum. It becomes a focal point for private lenders and equity markets.

Trump’s call to “Make America Great Again” is incoherent because it is accompanied by inward-looking, reactive policies. Like Trump’s own businesses, it’s more a franchising operation than a plan for real investment and growth.

Trump may indeed have a formula for greatness — but the “winner” in this story would likely be Beijing.

Arts benefits

Insulting visit

To the editor: Funding for arts and culture should be a high priority for our city budget. Events that bring local and national artists together, such as the Free State Festival, lead to unique economic opportunities for growth in our community. A case in point is the upcoming Barry Crimmins comedy special to be filmed on June 4 by high-profile comedian/filmmaker Louis C.K. This event is a direct result of Barry’s visit to Lawrence last year as a guest of the festival with his film, “Call Me Lucky.” Had the festival not had support to bring him here to experience our city and engage with audience members both on and off stage, this special would certainly be filmed somewhere else.

Louis C.K.’s production company is hiring local filmmakers, renting film equipment from a Lawrence production company and booking hotel rooms. They are giving our local film community professional resume-building experience and providing a space for Lawrencians to be entertained and inspired by a world class political satirist and social activist.

We often think of arts and culture as benefiting a community in an abstract way when using terms such as “quality of life,” but I want to make sure our city officials also recognize the very direct professional development benefits that are a clear result of municipal support. Thank you, city leaders and the entire Lawrence community, for your support of the Free State Festival and other art events and programs that make our city so great.

Marlo Angell, Lawrence

To the editor: Because of the president’s “moral equivalency” kowtowing at the Hiroshima monument, he has grossly and profoundly insulted every American World War II veteran, their families and the peoples the Japanese Empire conquered.

Ask the Chinese, Koreans, Filipinos and others conquered and occupied by the savagely barbarian Japanese Empire about it. Ask them about a moral equivalence between their conquerors and America. “All war deaths are bad.”

No. Deaths caused by the rampaging Japanese were far worse. The uncivilized cruelty of the fanatical Japanese warlords, army and navy is almost beyond imagining. The only evidence anyone needs of that truth is the atomic bomb monument in Nagasaki the president could also have visited. One atomic bomb did not stop the barbarous fanatics of Japan. It took two.

I only hope the president’s insulting behavior was from ignorance. However, as he has repeatedly demonstrated, I suspect that it was the willful blindness of an ideologue who believes that America deserves anything bad that happens to her. And, therefore, I also imagine this is not his last stop on his eight-year “Apology for America Tour.”

David Upchurch, Lawrence

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for June 3, 1916: “The Bowersock theater years presented a beautiful picture ago last night when the curtain IN 1916 rose on a stage filled with the members of the Senior class of the high school. It was the forty-second annual commencement of the Lawrence High School — in which a class of eighty-five girls and thirty-five boys was graduated. Of this number thirteen were honor students.

The girls were all dressed in charming dresses of white and carried arm bouquets of roses.... A large audience of the parents, friends and pupils was present and enjoyed the program which was especially wellbalanced and well given. For the first time the commencement exercises were free to the public. The members of the senior class paid for the exercises with the profits of the senior plays.... Arthur Patty in his talk on the ‘Three Needs of the High School,’ gave as the three needs: First, an Auditorium; second, a library and a librarian; third, a high school student loan fund.”

“Engineers who graduate from the University of Kansas this year are rejoicing in the great activity in their profession which enables them to find positions with comparative ease and begin earning a livelihood at once. There was a time in the University careers of present graduates when the prospect was not at all rosy. The outbreak of the great war in 1914 paralyzed for a time many industries in this country needing the services of engineers. The fall of that year witnessed many a graduate engineer stopping in Lawrence to secure assistance from faculty members to reach the part of the country where the home folks lived, to remain there until situations were again open.”

Neither officer was injured during the incident, Powell said.

Officers were eventually able to arrest Barker on suspicion of battery on a law enforcement officer, disorderly conduct and intimidation of a witness.

Barker was released from the Douglas County Jail later Thursday morning after posting a $500 bond.

CDC biolab failures play like ‘disaster movie’ Malfunctions occurred during decontamination Alison Young

@alisonannyoung USA TODAY

Encased in spacesuit-like gear needed to protect them from the world’s deadliest viruses, four scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stepped into their lab’s decontamination

chamber where a shower of chemicals was supposed to kill anything on them and make it safe for them to exit into an adjacent changing room.

The shower wouldn’t start, and warning lights appeared as a cascading series of safety systems began to fail inside one of the world’s most advanced biosafety level 4 labs. It’s the highest level, reserved for work with Ebola and smallpox viruses and other deadly pathogens.

An Air Force Thunderbird that crashed during a flyover rests on the ground south of Colorado Springs. The pilot ejected safely from the jet and later met with President Obama.

SEPARATE CRASHES DOWN JETS Two military planes went down Thursday in unrelated incidents in Colorado and Tennessee. The pilot in the Tennessee incident died, the U.S. Navy confirmed.

A Navy Blue Angels jet crashed just after takeoff for a practice flight in Smyrna, Tenn., and the pilot was killed, Navy officials said.

The pilot was identified as Marine Capt. Jeff Kuss, according to the Associated Press.

In the other incident, a U.S. Air Force elite Thunderbird jet crashed in a flyover for the Air Force Academy’s graduation ceremony near Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado.

The pilot ejected safely before the crash, Air Combat Command confirmed, adding that the pilot steered to an unpopulated area before ejecting. The Thunderbirds’ website lists Maj. Alex Turner as pilot of the jet.

President Obama, in town to deliver the commencement address at the Air Force Academy, visited with the pilot and thanked him for his service, ABC News reported.

This photo was taken moments after the crash of a Blue Angels jet near the Smyrna Airport in Tennessee on Thursday.

Prompted by leaks, the Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office in Minnesota released the longawaited autopsy report on Prince on Thursday, declaring the cause was accidental Fentanyl toxicity.

Fentanyl is a powerful painkiller. The official cause of death bolsters reports that Prince, 57, died from an opioid overdose and that investigators were examining how he might have obtained the drug.

EPA The medical Prince died examiner’s ofApril 21. fice said it would not comment further, and the Carver County Sheriff’s Office, which leads the investigation of Prince’s death April 21, is continuing its inquiry.

The release, which came in a tweet by the medical examiner’s office, showed a one-page summary of the autopsy report, which included details about how much Prince weighed at the time of death (112 pounds); what he was wearing (black cap, black shirt, gray undershirt); his scars (left hip, right lower leg); and how the “injury” occurred. “The decedent self-administered fentanyl.”

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, fentanyl is a “powerful synthetic opiate analgesic similar to but more potent than morphine. It is typically used to treat patients with severe pain, or to manage pain after surgery.”

The official autopsy report on Prince, who was found dead in an elevator at his Paisley Park compound in Carver County outside Minneapolis, has been long delayed.

Tesla’s Elon Musk wants to die on Mars. Really He also says life could be a video game Brett Molina @brettmolina23 USA TODAY

When he’s not building electric cars or helping to create the idea for a high-speed transit system, Elon Musk really wants citizens of Earth to go to Mars.

During a wide-ranging interview at the Code Conference, the CEO of Tesla Motors and SpaceX discussed everything from life on Mars to the possibility that life is

just an elaborate computer simulation. Let’s break down the three most interesting things Musk shared during his Code talk: 1. HUMANS WILL ARRIVE ON MARS BY 2025

Musk predicted the first humans will travel to Mars eight years from now, arriving on the red planet by 2025.

Musk founded SpaceX in 2002, setting a goal of “enabling people to live on other planets,” according to a description on the space tech company’s website. In April, SpaceX announced its first unmanned mission to Mars would launch in two years, using

the company’s Falcon Heavy rocket.

Musk said he hopes to eventually die on Mars: “If you had to choose a USA TODAY place to die, Elon Musk Mars is probably not a bad choice.”

2. IS LIFE A VIDEO GAME PLAYED BY A MORE ADVANCED CIVILIZATION?

When asked if he’s considered whether advances in video games have been so great that our existence actually takes place within

a simulation created by a future civilization, Musk answered, “A lot. Even in hot tubs, so much so I had to be banned from a hot tub.”

Musk referenced the evolution of video games from Pong more than 40 years ago to nearly lifelike graphics and the rise of virtual reality. “If you assume any rate of improvement at all, then games will become indistinguishable from reality,” he says.

3. AI COULD TURN US INTO HOUSE CATS, BUT HE HAS A SOLUTION.

Artificial intelligence, such as Amazon’s Alexa or Google Assis-

tant, sounds useful, but what happens when it gets smarter than humans? Musk says advances in AI could progress to the point where humans would be nothing more than a house pet. “I don’t love the idea of being a house cat,” he said. His solution: neural lace, a mesh that fits on your brain to give it digital computing capabilities.

Musk said this will be key to avoiding a future as domesticated “cats.” He said he sees neural lace as an “AI layer” working symbiotically with your brain that would allow humans to stay on pace with AI. “It will be some sort of direct cortical interface,” he said.

“Donald Trump’s ideas aren’t just different. They are dangerously incoherent.

They’re not even really ideas, just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds and outright lies.”

Hillary Clinton during a speech in San Diego SPENCER PLATT, GETTY IMAGES

In an address on foreign policy, Hillary Clinton offered a contrast between her and her rival.

Clinton: Trump policies threaten national security She says mogul is ‘temperamentally unfit’ to be president Heidi M. Przybyla USA TODAY

Hillary Clinton delivered a fiery rebuke of Donald Trump as someone who is “temperamentally unfit” to serve as commander in chief with “dangerously incoherent” foreign policy ideas in an address Thursday that argued his candidacy poses a threat to the nation’s security and could even lead to a global economic crisis.

Clinton listed a series of policies that Trump has espoused, including threats to withdraw from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, his proposal to temporarily ban non-citizen Muslims entering the United States, suggesting such countries as Saudi Arabia should have nuclear weapons and for praising “dictators” such as Russian leader Vladimir Putin and sanctioning torture as an interrogation method.

“Donald Trump’s ideas aren’t just different. They are dangerously incoherent. They’re not even really ideas, just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds and outright lies,” Clinton said during the speech in San Diego.

“He is not just unprepared, he is temperamentally unfit to hold an office that requires knowledge, stability and immense responsibility.”

The speech is her first major foreign policy address since Trump clinched the GOP nomination and comes as she battles Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders ahead of the June 7 California Democratic primary in her bid

Her Thursday remarks are part of a broader narrative the Clinton campaign is pursuing that goes after Trump’s character and temperament in painting him as unfit to lead the nation. Clinton said Trump is someone who should never have access to the nation’s nuclear weapons codes as part of a harsh critique of Trump’s policy positions that many of his GOP challengers shied away from during the nomination fight.

ald Trump leading us into a war just because someone got under his very thin skin,” said Clinton.

The speech contrasted Trump’s positions and rhetoric with her vision for keeping the nation safe, drawing on her experience as secretary of State as Clinton seeks to balance her attacks with a positive message.

“Don’t let anyone tell you that America isn’t great. Donald Trump’s got America all wrong,” said Clinton. “We are a bighearted, fair-minded country.”

“This election is a choice between two very different visions of America: one that’s angry, afraid and based on the idea that America is fundamentally weak and in decline. The other is hopeful, generous and confi-

dent in the knowledge that America is great, just like we always have been,” she said.

In response, Trump took to Twitter, saying: “Bad performance by Crooked Hillary Clinton! Reading poorly from the teleprompter! She doesn’t even look presidential!”

Recent NBC/Wall Street Journal polling shows Clinton is hitting Trump from a position of relative strength when it comes to foreign policy matters.

While Trump has a big lead over Clinton on changing business as usual in Washington and dealing with Wall Street, Clinton has a nearly 30-point lead over Trump on handling foreign policy. She has a 10-point lead on who would be the better commander-in-chief, the latest survey found, while Trump has about the same advantage over Clinton on handling trade issues and the economy.

“Making Donald Trump our commander in chief would be a historic mistake” said Clinton, adding that it would undo the work both parties have done over decades to strengthen the nation’s defenses. “Imagine Donald Trump sitting in the situation room making life-ordeath decisions on behalf of the United States, imagine him deciding whether to send your spouses or children into battle.”

Her wide-ranging critique also included mentions of Trump’s insistence that climate change is a hoax created by the Chinese, his statements that Sen. John McCain, a former Vietnam prisoner of war, is not a hero, and that the U.S. military is “a disaster,” as well as his squabbles with the leaders of U.S. allies from Britain, Germany, Mexico and even the Pope.

Paul Ryan endorses, will vote for Trump Disagreements remain, yet House speaker stresses common ground, healing of GOP Bill Glauber and Daniel Bice The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

After a month of meetings and phone conversations, House Speaker Paul Ryan went to his hometown newspaper to declare what many saw was inevitable.

Ryan endorsed presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump on Thursday, saying he would vote for him in the fall.

“It’s no secret that he and I have our differences,” Ryan wrote in an opinion piece submitted to the Janesville Gazette. “I won’t pretend otherwise. And when I feel the need to, I’ll continue to speak my mind. But the reality is, on the issues that make up our agenda, we have more common ground than disagreement.”

Those close to Ryan said the

House Speaker Paul Ryan says he will vote for Donald Trump for president.

Janesville Republican and 2012 GOP vice presidential nominee reached the decision this week.

Trump’s courting of Ryan has gone on for weeks as he sought to unite the Republican Party.

In style and substance, Ryan and Trump are polar opposites.

Ryan has emerged as an intellectual force in conservative circles, while Trump stormed through the Republican primaries, collecting enough delegates to secure the party’s nomination.

In doing so, Trump appeared at odds with party principles on entitlements and national security. He also made immigration a central focus of the race, while Ryan had spent years trying to secure a compromise on the issue.

Ryan campaign spokesman Zack Roday said the column is an endorsement of Trump.

Following Ryan’s announcement, Trump tweeted that it was “great to have the endorsement and support of Paul Ryan. We will both be working very hard to Make America Great Again!”

In his role as House speaker,

Ryan has emerged as a key bridge between the party’s establishment and more conservative wing. He also wields enormous power, helping shape his party’s agenda.

In early May, Ryan told CNN he wasn’t “ready” to back Trump.

Four days later, he told the Journal Sentinel he was willing to step down as chairman of the GOP convention if Trump asked.

In his opinion piece, Ryan wrote of the importance of House Republicans putting together an agenda to unite the party as well as the country. House Republicans will be rolling out that agenda beginning next week.

“One person who we know won’t support it is Hillary Clinton,” Ryan said of the likely Democratic presidential nominee.

Ryan wrote: “Donald Trump and I have talked at great length about things such as the proper role of the executive and fundamental principles such as the protection of life. The list of potential Supreme Court nominees he released after our first meeting was very encouraging.”

Ryan said the main focus of the talks revolved around the House policy agenda in such areas as health care, national security and the economy.

“We’ve talked about the common ground this agenda can represent,” Ryan said in his Janesville column. “We’ve discussed how the House can be a driver of policy ideas. We’ve talked about how important these reforms are to saving our country.

And we’ve talked about how, by focusing on issues that unite Republicans, we can work together to heal the fissures developed through the primary.

“Through these conversations, I feel confident he would help us turn the ideas in this agenda into laws to help improve people’s lives. That’s why I’ll be voting for him this fall.”

In an interview with the Associated Press, Ryan said Trump didn’t offer any deals in exchange for the endorsement.

“It is my hope the campaign improves its tone as we go forward and it’s all a campaign that we can be proud of,” Ryan said.

Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz blasted Ryan’s move.

“When he initially refused to endorse Trump four weeks ago, Paul Ryan said it was time to set aside bullying and belittlement,” she said in a statement.

“But with his tepid, halfhearted endorsement ... Ryan has backed away from his own criticisms of Trump’s dangerous, divisive campaign ... kissed the ring, and conceded that Trump is the leader of the Republican Party.”

CDC kept safety incidents from Congress “Yes, there was some malfunction, but there was a clearly established protocol for how to deal with the malfunction, and that was quickly and rapidly executed.”

in the lab that contained numerous frozen virus specimens, no work with live agents had yet been done in the lab, which was still new at the time.

Building engineers were able to operate the chemical shower manually, allowing the scientists to safely exit the lab, the CDC said. The failures were traced to a software error in the lab’s operating system, and it was fixed the same day. Additional alarms were added to the lab to notify engineering staff if such a malfunction were to occur again, which it hasn’t, the agency said.

“Yes, there was some malfunction, but there was a clearly established protocol for how to deal with the malfunction, and that was quickly and rapidly executed,” said Steve Monroe, who heads CDC’s lab safety office.

Last month, USA TODAY revealed that some labs at the CDC’s Fort Collins, Colo., infectious disease facility are among a handful nationwide that have had their federal permits secretly suspended in recent years for safety violations while working with bioterror pathogens.

USA TODAY learned that the CDC kept even Congress in the dark about the Fort Collins incident and some others — despite an oversight committee asking the agency in 2014 for a list all incidents at CDC labs since 2002

The CDC’s Building 18 houses numerous labs, including a suite of biosafety level 4 labs. Documents revealed malfunctions in 2009 in a decontamination chamber in one of the BSL-4 labs. involving bioterror pathogens found in unauthorized areas. The CDC says the information was “inadvertently omitted.”

The Fort Collins incident was not included among 10 incidents the CDC disclosed in an August 2014 letter that CDC Director Thomas Frieden sent to the chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, ac-

cording to a copy of the letter obtained by USA TODAY. “We’re very concerned that there could be some gaps in CDC’s responses to our pointed oversight inquiries,” said U.S. Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., the committee’s chairman.

In response to new questions from the committee, Monroe said the CDC identified “a handful” of

other incidents that were not disclosed in Frieden’s letter in 2014, which was sent before his new safety office had created a centralized reporting system for lab accidents at the agency.

“We are working extensively to make sure we have an absolutely comprehensive answer before we reply to the committee,” Monroe said.

Monroe said his office is committed to being as transparent as possible and pointed to an announcement in March disclosing that a CDC lab worker had become infected with salmonella.

Yet getting the CDC to release records about lab incidents under the federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) often takes several years. The CDC has told USA TODAY it will be mid-2018 before it releases copies of lab incident reports for 2013 and 2014.

Floodwater inundates the grounds of the castle of Chambord, about 100 miles southwest of Paris, on Thursday after the Cosson River burst its banks following heavy rain.

AT LEAST SIX DIE AMID HEAVY FLOODING IN EUROPE

Severe flooding across Europe left at least six people dead and forced thousands to evacuate, as forecasters warned Thursday of more rain and rising waters.

The floods, from rivers flowing over their banks from Paris to Bavaria, swept away cars, stranded people on rooftops and trapped schoolchildren. Rising water continues to threaten homes and businesses near Paris, French media said.

French President François Hollande said Thursday that a “natural disaster” will be formally declared next week to help areas most affected by the flooding.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel promised help for flooded areas, telling reporters in Berlin that she “mourns for those for whom the help has come too late, who lost their lives.”

“It’s the older generations that are making our decisions for us.

Cook County Judge Vincent Gaughan announced the move Thursday, nearly a month after Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez asked that she and her team of prosecutors be recused from the high-profile case that triggered weeks of protests in Chicago late last year.

Alvarez lost a March primary after she faced an avalanche of criticism for how long it took her to charge Jason Van Dyke, the officer involved in the shooting.

uUnited Nations officials expressed hope Thursday that food and medicine would begin flowing this month to many of the nearly 600,000 Syrians living in besieged communities. If humanitarian ground convoys fail to get through, the U.N. World Food Program said Thursday it has plans for helicopter airdrops to urban areas where Syrians, including many women and children, are starving.

The heavily armed gunman in a murder-suicide at the University of California Los Angeles singled out his victims on a “kill list,” fatally shooting a woman in Minnesota before driving to the school’s campus to kill a former professor.

A third target, also a professor, escaped unharmed by being offcampus Wednesday morning, Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck said Thursday.

Beck said the shooter, Mainak Sarkar, 38, of Minnesota, carried a note asking the finder to check on his cat in St. Paul, Minn. That, in turn, led police to discover the female victim in a St. Paul suburb.

Sarkar was carrying two pistols and a large amount of ammunition when he shot and killed professor William Klug, his former teacher, in an office in an engineering building on campus before killing himself, Beck said.

Beck said Sarkar apparently believed Klug stole his computer code and gave it to someone else.

Members of security search an area Wednesday at the University of California’s Los Angeles campus.

According to UCLA authorities, the police chief said, there was no factual basis for this accusation.

“It was a making of his own imagination,” he said.

In St. Paul, police who went to the address given by Sarkar in his plea to care for his cat found a “kill list” that included the name of Klug, a second UCLA professor and a woman living nearby.

Police in Brooklyn Park, Minn., found the woman fatally shot in her home, Beck said. He declined to identify her, but neighbors said she was enrolled at the University of Minnesota Medical School, KARE-TV reports.

Beck said Sarkar apparently killed the woman, then drove nearly 2,000 miles to Los Angeles where he hunted down Klug.

Sarkar’s LinkedIn page said he worked as an engineering analyst and previously as a teacher, software developer and research analyst.

The mid-morning shooting, in which three shots were heard, sent dozens of police and SWAT units to the university and prompted a lockdown for thousands on the sprawling campus.

Beck declared the university safe about two hours after initial reports of a possible shooter on campus.

Classes resumed Thursday.

Deaths soar from drug used by Prince Liz Szabo

USA TODAY

Fentanyl, the prescription painkiller behind pop singer Prince’s fatal overdose, is a synthetic opioid up to 100 times more potent than morphine. It has recently surged in popularity as an illegal street drug.

The Drug Enforcement Agency last year issued a nationwide alert about fentanyl because of a dramatic increase in overdose deaths caused by fentanyl-laced heroin.

Fentanyl seizures increased from 618 in 2012 to 4,585 in 2014.

Fentanyl is the most potent opioid available.

“Fentanyl is a very dangerous opioid, whether you’re taking it as

a prescription or you’re mixing it with black-market heroin,” said addiction specialist Andrew Kolodny, executive director of Physicians for Responsible Opioid Prescribing.

“Celebrity overdoses are just the tip of the iceberg of an epidemic,” Kolodny said. “Many of these deaths are occurring in people who are not your typical drug abuser. They are suffering from chronic pain and they are becoming addicted to legitimately prescribed medication.”

Middle-aged adults have some of the highest rates of prescription drug addiction, partly because of injuries or age-related diseases that leave them in pain, Kolodny said. Prince was 57.

More than 28,000 Americans died from overdose deaths a year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Synthetic opioids such as fentanyl are responsible for the largest increase in overdose deaths from 2013 to 2014, when the rate climbed from 1 death per 100,000 people to 1.8, according to the CDC. In the past, people abused fentanyl by diverting it from hospitals. Recently, however, drug dealers began manufacturing fentanyl in illegal labs and adding it to heroin. Toxicology tests used by coroners and medical examiners are unable to distinguish between prescription and illicit fentanyl, the CDC reports.

After nearly nine months of waiting, a Dallas couple has arrived home with the baby that mom Mercy Casanalles gave birth to more than a year ago.

The ordeal for Rich Cushworth and his wife began when Casanalles, who was pregnant and living in the United States on a temporary visa, had to return home to El Salvador. She gave birth to their son in May 2015 via emergency cesarean section, and the child was whisked away to spend the night in the hospital’s nursery.

When she was ready the next day to check out of Hospital Centro Ginecológico in San Salvador, nurses handed her a baby. But Casanalles, 39, didn’t think the boy looked like the child she had held briefly the day before.

“It’s been a long and painful process,” Cushworth, 41, said after they returned Tuesday to the United States. “And I can’t believe we have this beautiful miracle boy here in Dallas.”

MONEYLINE HANK GREENBERG, FORMER AIG CEO, MUST STAND TRIAL A court ruled Thursday that former AIG CEO Maurice “Hank” Greenberg will have to stand trial for fraud. New York state has long contended Greenberg, as well as other company officials, should be held accountable for fraudulent transactions during the period they ran the company. Greenberg, 91, ran AIG for almost four decades until he resigned in 2005. In a statement, he said he “respectfully disagrees with the court’s decision.”

FEDS: MAIL FRAUD SCHEMES SCAMMED SENIORS U.S. and Dutch authorities have moved to halt alleged international mail fraud schemes suspected of bilking millions of dollars from elderly and vulnerable victims in the U.S. and around the world. The Department of Justice said Thursday that U.S. residents got mail solicitations claiming they had won or would soon win cash or other valuable prizes, but they’d need to pay a processing fee or buy goods or services to claim the prize. Victims sent $15 to $55 in envelopes pre-addressed to more than 50 Netherlands postal boxes.

TAKE OFF ON CHEAP OIL Low crude prices lead to fifth consecutive year of rising revenues Mike Snider @mikesnider USA TODAY

Airlines are expected to generate a fifth consecutive year of rising profits, thanks in part to low oil prices.

Worldwide, airlines are projected to land $39.4 billion in profits in 2016, a jump of more than 11% over 2015, according to figures released Thursday by the International Air Transport Association. The new 2016 profit estimate is even higher than the IATA’s projection of $36.3 billion made six months ago.

Helping fuel profits is an expected lower price per barrel for oil. The group forecasts an average of $45 per barrel AFP/GETTY IMAGES in 2016, com“Load factors pared with are at record $53.90 per barlevels,” the rel in 2015.

IATA’s Tony West Texas Tyler says.

Intermediate oil prices remained stable Thursday at $49, about 23% below their 52-week high of $63.90 last June. They’re down about 66% from the record close of $145.31 a barrel on July 3, 2008, according to the Oil Price Information Service.

Fuel is expected to account for about 20% of the airline industry’s expenses, down from a recent high of 33% in 2012-13, IATA says.

“Lower oil prices are certainly helping — though tempered by hedging and exchange rates. In fact, we are probably nearing the peak of the positive stimulus from lower prices,”

AIRLINE INDUSTRY STATS Airline industry profits are up significantly since 2004, in part because fuel expenses have dropped to near 2004 levels.

“We are probably nearing the peak of the positive stimulus from lower prices.”

Tony Tyler, IATA Director General and CEO

IATA Director General and CEO Tony Tyler said in a statement.

The IATA is holding its general meeting in Dublin through Friday.

U.S. airlines reported after-tax net profit of $25.6 billion in 2015, up from $7.5 billion in 2014, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Fuel expenses totaled $27 billion, down 38% from 2014.

Consumers got slightly lower airfares. The average fare fell 8.3% in 2015 to $363 from $396 in 2014, according to Transportation Department figures.

Airlines are expected to generate revenue of $709 billion in 2016, down 1% from 2015, and carry more passengers (3.8 billion in 2016 vs. 3.6 billion in 2015), IATA says.

It’s not cheap fuel alone that is driving industry gains, Tyler says.

“Load factors are at record levels. New value streams are increasing ancillary revenues. And joint ventures and other forms of cooperation are improving efficiency and increasing consumer choice while fostering robust competition,” he says.

Regardless, U.S. airline stocks have been challenged. The S&P 500 Airlines index is down 14.8% this year and is off 9.4% over the past 12 months. The index closed Wednesday at 256; its 52-week high is 322.3, with a 52-week low of 243.8.

Low fuel prices have allowed airlines to grow the market, said Jonathan Root, vice president and senior credit officer with Moody’s Investors Service, which maintains its positive rating on the global passenger airline industry.

“Slow but steady economic activity should support passenger demand, allowing the airlines to maintain their current profitability,” he said.

If oil prices rise, and or demand dips, he said, “the relief valve will be to cut capacity.”

OPEC again fails to reach deal on oil production Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

So the oil will continue to flow.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries failed to cut a deal on production limits Thursday, raising further questions about the group’s ability to control global crude oil markets and temporarily dealing a blow to prices. But prices recovered after the U.S. Energy Information Administration said Thursday U.S. crude oil inventories fell by 1.4 million barrels in the week ending May 27.

The price of West Texas InAFP/GETTY IMAGES termediate Qatar’s Mooil, the U.S. hammed Bin benchmark, Saleh Al-Sada settled up on Thursday. 0.3% to $49.17, even though oil ministers concluded their OPEC meeting Thursday in Vienna without agreeing to cap output.

“Not unexpected, but the market was certainly hoping for it,” said Rob Haworth, a senior investment strategist for U.S. Bank Wealth Management tracking commodities. “OPEC is probably hands-off for some time now.”

The failure to reach an accord underscores the increasingly disparate interests within OPEC. Two members in particular — Saudi Arabia and Iran — are engaged in a geopolitical standoff, and analysts say neither country wants to yield market share to the other. “Member countries,” OPEC said in a statement, “confirmed their commitment to a stable and balanced oil market, with prices at levels that are suitable for both producers and consumers.”

Gawker CEO: Silicon Valley too thin-skinned Nick Denton slams ‘personal vendetta’ by billionaire Peter Thiel Jefferson Graham @jeffersongraham USA TODAY

RANCHO PALOS VERDES , CALIF.

Folks in Silicon Valley are too thin-skinned, believes Nick Denton, the CEO of New York-based Gawker Media.

The blog collective founded by Denton faces possible bankruptcy after a Florida judge awarded Hulk Hogan $140 million for

posting a sex tape of the wrestler on Gawker. PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel told The New York Times last week that he had bankrolled Hogan’s case with the intent of sinking Gawker in response to articles Thiel considered bullying and damaging, including one that publicized Thiel’s sexual orientation.

Speaking about Thiel, and others in Silicon Valley who have been covered by Gawker, Denton said at the Code Conference here that they’re not used to critical looks.

“The money is relatively new, the power is relatively new,” Denton said. “A Silicon Valley billion-

Nick Denton doesn’t regret posting the Hulk Hogan video.

aire is 100 times, a thousand times, more powerful than the average congressman” but doesn’t get nearly as heavy monitoring from the press, he said.

Social networks monitor their members, they know who their friends are — “you can tell whether someone is gay or not by looking at their Facebook friends,” Denton said. “There’s an imbalance. People want to know what the powerful are doing.”

Code’s organizers said they invited Thiel to debate Denton onstage, but he declined. They kept a chair empty on stage for him.

Asked during his panel if he regretted posting the Hogan video, Denton said no. Gawker is appealing the verdict, and Denton said he has hired an adviser to look at potential outcomes for the company.

“I believe in independent media,” he said. “Public figures are more powerful than they’ve ever been. For the good of society, there needs to be a counterbalance, even if the billionaires don’t like it.”

At Code, Denton was asked if he would have preferred that Thiel had been more open with his lawsuit and admitted from the start that he was behind it.

“That would have been better than doing it entirely in secret,” he said. “Others have founded media criticism sites ... that seems like a constructive approach to take ... rather than a personal vendetta.”

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

Friday’s jobs report might not be the final data point before the Federal Reserve makes its decision on interest rates June 15, “but it’s gonna be a big one,” says Tom Anderson, chief investment officer for Boston Private Wealth.

The big question is whether the economy created enough jobs in May to give the Fed the courage to pull the trigger on its first rate hike of 2016 at its June meeting. Fed Chair Janet Yellen recently put a June hike back on the table, saying it’s “appropriate” to increase borrowing costs “in coming months” if jobs and the economy continue to improve.

Due to a drag from the Verizon strike, economists are forecasting 160,000 new jobs in May, un-

Facts about America’s investors who use SigFig tracking services:

changed from April, which at the time was viewed as a weak number as expectations were for 200,000 new jobs.

“I think the Fed is looking for strong data to provide them with the cover to hike,” Anderson says.

What would make a June rate increase more defensible, he adds, is if the May report is strong and the weak April report is revised upwards. “That could be enough to do the trick,” he says.

Since the Fed sprung the idea of a coming rate hike very recently, there’s a chance they could wait until after the June 23 British vote on whether to stay in the European Union and move at the July meeting, Anderson says.

If the Fed hikes in June for the right reason — because of an improving economy — Wall Street should it in stride, Anderson says: “If data supports a hike, the market will be just fine.”

Setting bar low is one way to play numbers game Q: Can companies pad results to beat expectations?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Companies are under incredible pressure to meet or exceed investors’ expectations. There certainly are games they can play, but pushing too far can be illegal.

Public companies are required to tell investors how they performed each quarter. Investors usually focus on how much the firm earned during the period, how much revenue it brought in and how that compared with expectations. If a company’s profit misses views, the stock can be punished swiftly.

Some companies go to great lengths to make the numbers. One of the most common methods — which is legal — is setting the bar low. When a corporation reports quarterly results, it often will often guidance for future quarters. Some companies might steer analysts down with future expectations at levels that are easy to beat.

What is not allowed is bending the accounting rules just to beat expectations.

There is still some latitude here. Many analysts and investors ignore profit measures that follow standardized accounting rules anyway and instead use “proforma” results. It’s legit since analysts can’t forecast special items. But companies have more leeway in setting proforma results. They are required, though, to disclose the adjustments being made.

Gannett to review Tribune bid after election, name change Roger Yu

@RogerYu_ USA TODAY

Gannett Co. said Thursday it was reviewing its bid to acquire Tribune Publishing Co. after all Tribune board nominees were elected and Tribune changed its name to Tronc Inc., opening an uncertain chapter in the fastchanging quest by Gannett to absorb a large rival.

The moves by Tribune, which owns the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune and nine other dailies, solidify and reflect its

Tribune Publishing, soon to become Tronc Inc. — short for Tribune online content — owns the Los Angeles Times and 10 other dailies.

determination to continue operations as a stand-alone entity and rebuff Gannett’s standing, $864

million offer.

Fearing the new board will side with Tribune Chairman Michael Ferro in resisting its offer, Gannett, publisher of USA TODAY and more than 100 local news properties, had publicly urged shareholders to withhold their votes. And Thursday’s result likely emboldened its stance.

“Gannett is reviewing whether to proceed with its acquisition offer taking into account the results of the ‘withhold’ vote,” the company said in a statement.

Gannett said about 49% of shares voted — not including the ones affiliated with Tribune Pub-

lishing or Ferro — and withheld their support from the entire slate of eight director nominees, which included Ferro and Tribune CEO Justin Dearborn. More than 50% withheld their support from Ferro, Dearborn and Director Eddy Hartenstein, it said.

Five of eight director nominees received less than 50% support, and four of Tribune’s largest independent stockholders withheld support from the director nominees, Gannett said.

Eight director nominees with the most votes are named to the board. Gannett missed the deadline to name its own candidates.

“Gannett is engaged in an effort to mislead and confuse Tribune shareholders,” Tribune said in a statement. “While precise results of the vote count are not available at this time (and Gannett had no reliable basis for the speculative results it published earlier today), it is clear that all Tribune Directors were elected by a majority of the votes cast.”

Tribune also plans to transfer its stock exchange listing from the New York Stock Exchange to Nasdaq, using the ticker symbol “TRNC.” Shares of Tribune closed down 21 cents Thursday to $11.38.

LIFELINE

BAD DAY DEBRA MESSING The actress was called insensitive after posting a selfie on Twitter wearing an orange T-shirt bearing the slogan “under the gun” while watching news coverage of the murder-suicide on the UCLA campus. The actress later released a statement on Twitter that included, “I am heartbroken and embarrassed that many people misconstrued my actions and that I caused offense. That’s the last thing I want to do. The horrendous irony of the timing, I was hoping, would shine an even brighter light on the crises. ... I am truly sorry.” The original photo has since been pulled down.

1 hour, 52 minutes Rating: PG-13 Upside: The Turtles’ personalities come to the fore, as do some cool new villains.

Downside: There is only so much dumb, mindless fun one can take.

Paul Simon embraces a troubled world on ‘Stranger’ Pop master’s latest is a haunting, eclectic and ambitious ride Ghosts, monsters and other shady spirits lurk everywhere on Paul Simon’s Stranger to Stranger (eeee out of four), out Friday. On the first track, The Werewolf, a man’s wife kills him with a sushi knife.

As they shop around “for a fairly decent afterlife,” the wealthy continue to prosper back on Earth.

“But we’re coming to the end of the rainbow,” Simon sings, suggesting we all stock up on water and prepare for looting.

Dystopian nightmare? Revenge fantasy? Neither, actually.

Simon’s new album is, to be sure, haunted by the inequality that looms large in our national debate.

Its songs are populated by characters who will make even most of us in the 99% feel insulated by comparison: the mother of a young soldier who committed suicide, for instance, or the homeless “street angel” who lands in an emergency room, where “it feels like every wounded soul/Is filling out a form or on the phone.”

But Simon finds inspiration in these figures, stressing their dignity and the sheer life force that sustains them in musical porREVIEW ELYSA GARDNER

STYLE STAR Salma Hayek channeled her inner queen at the London premiere of her latest film, ‘Tale of Tales.’

The actress, who plays the Queen of Longtrellis, wore a dress from Gucci’s Fall 2016 Ready-to-Wear collection, regally adorned with pearls and ruffles.

Paul Simon holds out hope for a troubled world on Stranger To Stranger, out Friday.

traits that are as bold, vivid and eclectic as any the singer/songwriter has offered. Graceland from 1986 is an obvious predecessor, though the passage of 30 years is evident: Electronic dance music beats, loops and samples figure into arrangements that feature acoustic drums, and instruments range from the coiled, twangy Indian gopichand that opens the crisply syncopated Werewolf to the various microtonal devices used on the gorgeously eerie Insomniac’s Lullaby.

There is also, just as crucially, space. Produced by Roy Halee, Simon’s “old partner” (as the album notes identify him), the tracks breathe and sparkle, bringing us into the lives and struggles documented here. The breathless Street Angel slows down 1930s re-

cordings of gospel quartets and flips them backward, adding conga drums, to suggest a fevered visionary. The Riverbank uses swampy blues textures and a sturdy beat to evoke a funeral procession, then segues into a swirl of mournful strings.

Cool Papa Bell, named for a lightning-fast baseball player in the Negro Leagues, is sprightlier, its shuffling groove sprinkled with chiming guitars and maracas. Simon also offers respite in a pair of delicate instrumentals, including the shimmering In The Garden of Edie, and seems to find a peace of his own in the more introspective Proof Of Love, which moves from twinkling, bittersweet verses to a surging, beatific refrain of “Amen.”

There is more reflection, and reassurance, on Stranger To Stranger’s gently throbbing title track. “Still believing/That love endures,” Simon insists, despite “All the carnage/And the useless detours.” He acknowledges, elsewhere on the album, that faith can be hard to come by: The single Wristband is a crackling ode to the disenfranchised, those who “don’t get through the door” life opens to the more privileged.

But Simon’s new album also reminds us, with typical ambition and discretion, that music can be a vehicle for bridging divides — social, cultural, spiritual. The worst monsters on Stranger ultimately may be those we recognize from the news, or the mirror; but our better angels are here as well, feeling groovy and sounding like heaven.

P

erhaps you are like me and last week’s rain caused you to cut up the furniture to use for building the Ark. If so, you are probably wondering when you are going to get your circular saw returned to you and what your Lawrence furniture buying options are. Well, there’s news on the Lawrence furniture store front.

Plus, yellow signs invade Oread Neighborhood Over the years Lawrence has lost several large furniture stores, but there has been a pretty strong trend of smaller, secondhand furniture stores coming into the market. Add one more to the list. Phoenix Furniture and Home Goods has opened in the Hillcrest

Shopping Center at Ninth and Iowa streets.

The store sells bedroom sets, couches, desks, dining room tables, rugs, lamps, wall hangings and other such items, said owner McKenzie Widner. Except for a few smaller items, all of the furniture is used.

Widner said she sold antiques as a side business for years while she worked as a Montessori school teacher in Lawrence. She said finding unique items has been something she’s long enjoyed, and she believes Please see TOWN, page 3C

it is a service Lawrence shoppers are seeking.

“I tend to collect things that have a story,” Widner said. “I think shoppers these days like items with a little bit of character. The cool thing is the stuff in the store is stuff you can’t find anywhere else.”

Lawrence has a few used furniture stores that cater to the college crowd, and Widner said some of her items are at prices aimed at that audience. But she said the store also seeks to have a good inventory of items for families and others that are wanting to stock their home with quality furniture.

A big part of the store’s business is that it buys furniture as well as sells it.

“Lawrence is a town where people are always coming and going, so I think it is important that there always be a store where people can go to sell their items,” Widner said.

The store is located at 925 Iowa, Suite L. If you haven’t memorized your Hillcrest Shopping Center suite locations, the store is right next door to a shop that has caused me to expand the size of some of my furniture: Munchers Bakery. (It is funny how mini-cinnamon rolls do not make you “mini-er.”)

SIGNS IN THE OREAD NEIGHBORHOOD have popped up all over telling about proposed design guidelines. neighborhood currently, but, no, plans have not been filed to build a giant cookie factory in the historic neighborhood.

Instead, new design guidelines have been proposed for the neighborhood.

Actually, the design guidelines already have been approved once, but city officials realized after the fact that they had not met the letter of the law when it came to notifying residents of the proposed changes. City code requires the yellow signs to be posted on property that will be affected by zoning or development code changes. That wasn’t done the first time the design guidelines were heard. If the city placed a yellow sign at every property in the Oread neighborhood, that would be several thousand signs.

My understanding is city officials have deter-

mined that placing a sign at every intersection in the neighborhood will meet the requirement.

More specifically, every corner of every intersection has been the thought process. That means that there are eight signs at every intersection.

In case you are wondering, the signs advertise public hearings that will take place in June and July about the design guidelines.

Although the design guidelines were approved previously, there was dissent, especially from some landlords. Concerns were raised about parking requirements and zoning regulations that would limit the number of residents in each home.

HOMETOWN LAWRENCE

Lawrence homes in high demand, short supply A

s the weather heats up, so does the Lawrence real estate market. In fact, things are so hot that homes to buy are in short supply.

According to figures recently released by the Lawrence Board of Realtors, home sales rose by 10.5 percent in April compared with the same time in 2015. The tightening market is illustrated by the 250 active listings in Lawrence at the end of the month, which is down from 346 homes on the market at the end of April last year. Currently, there is a two-months’ supply of homes available for sale. The median list price was $289,900.

“We have a tight supply in the Lawrence housing market, especially in the lower price range,” LBOR President Carl Cline said.

“High demand in areas of short supply creates competition, drives prices upward, and lowers the amount of time homes remain available in the market.”

The average sale price on an existing home for April in Lawrence was $188,359, which is up slightly from $186,651 last year.

A total of 117 units were sold, compared with 107 in April 2015.

Homes in April were on the market an average of 52 days, versus 66 days last year, and sold for 98.1 percent of their list price.

In new construction, nine new sales occurred, up from seven last year, which is an increase of 28.6 percent. The average sale price of a new home was $361,771, slightly down from the same period last year by 3.5 percent.

For 2016 as a whole, 305 homes have sold in Lawrence so far, up slightly from last year. Also, the average home price has increased slightly by 2.9 percent to $200,512.

However, while the Lawrence home sales market is hot, Douglas

Real Estate Matters

County’s April sales declined slightly by 16.7 percent compared with April 2015. Five units sold versus six last year. The average sale price was $214,510, up by 11.7 percent from a year ago. Homes sold in the county in April were on the market an average of 30 days and sold for above the list price by 104.1 percent.

There were 37 active listing in Douglas County at the end of April, which translates into a 7.4-months’ supply of homes available for sale outside of Lawrence. The average list price of these homes was $504,253.

“The pace of this market can be challenging for everyone,” Cline said. “Realtors are in peak performance mode and are sleeping with one eye open. Buyers need guidance to understand what it takes to compete and be in a position to win. And sellers are not invincible.

Prices are fluid, condition matters, and timing is everything. A wellcoordinated listing strategy can result in multiple offers, possibly over list price.”

U.S. home prices on the rise, but sales haven’t slowed

By Christopher S. Rugaber Associated Press

Washington (ap) — U.S. home prices kept climbing in March as the spring home buying season began, but so far the higher costs haven’t thwarted sales.

The Standard & Poor’s/ Case-Shiller 20-city home price index increased 5.4 percent in March compared with a year earlier, according to a report released Tuesday. That is the same annual gain as in February.

Solid job growth, modest increases in wages and salaries, and low mortgage rates are fueling Americans’ willingness to buy homes. Yet

there is also a limited supply of homes on the market, which pushes up prices.

David Blitzer, chairman of the S&P index committee, said the number of homes on the market is equal to less than 2 percent U.S. households, the lowest percentage since the mid-1980s.

The number of available homes fell 3.6 percent in April, according to the National Association of Realtors.

“It remains a tough home buying season for buyers, with little inventory available among lower-priced homes,” Svenja Gudell, chief economist at real estate data firm Zillow. “The competition

is locking out some firsttime buyers, who instead are paying record-high rents.”

Even so, sales of existing homes rose 1.7 percent in April, the second straight increase, to an annual rate of 5.45 million.

Prices rose in all 20 cities, but at a slower pace in the Northeast and Midwest. The cities with the smallest year-over-year increases were Washington, D.C., Chicago, New York and Cleveland.

A revived housing market is helping fuel faster economic growth. Sales of new homes jumped to their highest level in eight years in April, and home construction has also increased.

FREE STATE HIGH GIRLS BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Newman would be good get for KU Any time a McDonald’s All-American advertised as a one-and-done sensation struggles to find consistency as a freshman and transfers, the spoiled-brat radar goes up, especially when a parent does his talking for him.

Then you look at what Horatio Webster said about his son, Malik Newman, leaving Mississippi State and a different picture emerges.

“He was just never in a happy place,” Webster told the Clarion-Ledger. “...

People knew Malik had the Magic Johnson smile and he was happy and basketball was his life. I think in a sense some of that was taken away. I’m not saying that Ben (Howland, coach) took it away. But I think some of it was taken away due to injuries, due to style of play, due to his immaturity.”

Honest, reasonable take that suggests dad doesn’t think the world revolves around his perfect son. You have to love that Webster cited Malik’s “immaturity,” as one reason things didn’t work out.

Hubris could have forced Newman to make himself eligible for the NBA draft.

Instead, he decided to transfer, which means he must sit out a year before gaining eligibility to play in games for his next school.

Another good sign for a teenager who spent much of his life being told by strangers he’s the second coming of Michael Jordan.

Kansas coach Bill Self wanted Newman out of high school and he appears worth pursuing just as aggressively now with or without landing Duke transfer Derryck Thornton.

Newman and Thornton hounding Frank Mason III and Devonté Graham every day in practice would make for some of the nation’s most heated guard battles.

Newman was ranked No. 1 by Rivals in the Class of 2016 as a junior and faded to eighth as a senior.

As is the case with many talented freshmen, Newman encountered mixed results. He averaged 11.3 points, 2.2 assists and 1.9 turnovers and shot .391 from the field and .379 on three-pointers. By the time he plays in his next game, Newman will be two years older, stronger and wiser than when he compiled those numbers. They all will get significantly better.

As a freshman, Graham posted almost identical shooting statistics as Newman did for Mississippi State, shooting .391 from the field and .377 from three. As a sophomore, Graham improved to a .460 overall accuracy rate and .441 from three. Thornton, by the way, shot .390 overall for Duke and .325 from three.

The other benefit of taking transfers is that it’s they must fall in line, lest they be branded difficult to coach, which would hurt them in the draft.

FREE STATE GIRLS BASKETBALL COACH TED JUNEAU EXPLAINS A DRILL TO JUNIOR MEGAN DONNER on Thursday as 11 girls participated in summer camp at FSHS.

New coach, players getting acquainted

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

During the past few seasons, on the rare occasions when the then-Seabury Academy girls basketball coach had the chance, Ted Juneau made sure to venture to another program’s gymnasium in order to watch the Free State High girls team in action.

More of a casual observer of the Firebirds then, Juneau simply wanted to catch a glimpse of Madison Piper, the daughter of former Lawrence High standout Chris Piper, because Juneau coached the elder Piper at LHS. “Up until a week ago,” Juneau said Thursday, “it never occurred to me that I’d be coaching them.”

This week at FSHS, the newly minted Firebirds coach found himself recognizing players at workouts and remembering those games he viewed from the bleachers.

As both the veteran and his pupils transition into the program’s next chapter, following 14 seasons of service from former coach Bryan Duncan, Juneau said his connection with Piper has facilitated that process. Not only has Juneau followed Piper’s progress, he’s currently in his second year of coaching her on the Kansas Hoopsters AAU team.

This week, with the Firebirds’ summer schedule just getting started, Piper’s familiarity with Juneau has helped her teammates get used to a new face and voice.

“I think they’re comfortable with me,” Juneau said, “and I’m getting more and more comfortable with them.”

Less than two weeks into his new job, Juneau looks forward to cultivating those relationships further. Part of that will involve maximizing each player’s abilities this

Self picks Cleveland Cavs in NBA finals

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Speaking before the start of Game One of the 2016 NBA Finals, Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self peered into his crystal ball and deemed Cleveland’s Cavaliers the winner of what he predicts will be “a great series.”

“You have the two best players in the world right now that may not be the best players on their respective teams on a given night,” Self told 610 Sports’ Bob Fescoe. He was praising the supporting casts of Cleveland’s LeBron James and Golden State’s Stephen Curry prior to the Warriors’ 104-89 Game One victory in the Bay Area.

“Klay Thompson could be

that or Draymond (Green) could be that. Kyrie (Irving) or Kevin (Love) could be that. Last year, LeBron got them pretty close (loss in Finals to the same Warriors).

He was without Kyrie and Kevin (who were hurt). I feel he’s on a mission personally. Obviously they are going to have to win in Oakland to have a chance (since Warriors have home court advantage). I kind of think the Cavs will get it done.”

Self is one of those college coaches who does pay close attention to the NBA. “I actually thought Oklahoma City was the best team in the NBA,” Self said of the Thunder, who fell to Golden State in seven games in the Western Conference finals.

“I thought it was just an absolute joke how big and

athletic they were. They’ve got two of the best players in the world on the same team night in and night out (Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook). To see those guys (Curry, Thompson) make those ridiculous shots (threes), which is the only reason Oklahoma City is still not playing ... it wasn’t from the actions they (Warriors) ran. They just made ridiculously guarded shots which was just enough to put them over the hump,” Self added.

Self does not agree with those who say the Thunder “choked” by not wrapping up the series with a 3-to-2 lead and Game Six in OKC.

CLEVELAND’S J.R. SMITH, LEFT, PRESSURES Golden State’s Andre Iguodala. The Warriors defeated the Cavaliers, 104-89, in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night in Oakland, Calif.

T-shirts worn by the raucous fans throughout soldout Oracle Arena.

“That’s our motto. That’s what we believe in,” Livingston said. “We pick each other up.

We believe in each other and we just fight.”

James kicked off his sixth straight finals with 23 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists, but cold-shooting Cleveland went 38.1 percent from the floor. Kyrie Irving, lost to a knee injury in Game 1 last year, scored 26 points, 11 on free throws.

Iguodala showed he can handle any role — if Kerr decides to start him or bring him off the bench. Iguodala didn’t let an aggravating, hard hit to the groin by Matthew Dellavedova derail his focus for the final quarter.

Kerr stuck with regular

starter Harrison Barnes, and he delivered 13 points. Curry had 11 points, six assists and five rebounds, while Thompson scored nine points.

Iguodala had moved back into the starting lineup Monday for the Game 7 clincher against Oklahoma City with a primary duty of defending Kevin Durant, shining in that role, and again came off the bench to play 36 minutes Thursday. He shook his head in delight after a two-handed slam off a pass from Curry with 5:44 left.

Cleveland emerged from halftime with a newfound energy, zipping passes every which way, going hard to the basket whenever possible and swarming Curry and the others on the defensive end to create turnovers and poor decisions.

Kevin Love’s basket with 3:57

left in the third put the Cavs ahead before Green’s dunk moments later.

Love made an impressive finals debut with 17 points and 13 rebounds after missing last year’s run with a dislocated shoulder that required surgery.

With 34.1 seconds left in the third, Iguodala took issue with Dellavedova’s swat into his groin that after review was ruled a personal foul and no flagrant. Iguodala knocked down a three-pointer less than eight seconds later and Golden State took a 74-68 lead into the final 12 minutes and never backed down no matter who played.

Livingston, whose remarkable comeback from a potentially career-ending left knee injury nine years ago has so inspired Kerr and many others, made a key follow shot late in the third on the way to his first 20-point performance in the postseason, then Curry pulled off a pretty drive the next time down.

James has scored 20 or more points in a career-best 25 straight playoff games, topping his previous mark of 24 in a row from May 12, 2008, to April 25, 2010.

Oakland, Calif. (ap) — Stephen Curry’s “Strength In Numbers” supporting cast made all the timely shots and all the difference for the defending champions in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

Draymond Green had 16 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists, Shaun Livingston scored a personal postseason best of 20 points and Golden State’s bench came up big as the Warriors beat LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, 104-89, on Thursday night to move three wins away from a repeat title.

Curry, the MVP, and Splash Brother Klay Thompson? They totaled — gasp! — 20 points between them on 8-for-27 shooting, each knocking down a late three-pointer.

“We’ve talked about our depth for the last two years.

We rely on a lot of people. We play a lot of people, and we feel like we have a lot of talent on the bench that can come in and score when we need it,” coach Steve Kerr said. “So it’s a great sign, obviously, that we can win in the finals without those two guys having big games, but it’s not really that surprising to us. This has been our team the last couple of years.”

An off night by Curry didn’t matter this time. Golden State’s bench outscored the Cavs’ reserves 45-10 in the opener of this finals rematch, which the Warriors reached even with Curry missing six games with injuries in the postseason.

In a series with so much star power on both sides, this was a night for Livingston and fellow reserves Leandro Barbosa and Andre Iguodala. Barbosa returned from a minor back injury to shoot 5 for 5 for 11 points, while 2015 finals MVP Iguodala had 12 points, seven rebounds, six assists and some stingy defense on James.

“I thought our guys did a great job of locking into those guys,” Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said of the Splash Brothers. “Their bench played well.

So we’ve got to go back to the drawing board and try to figure out how to take those guys out of the game.”

It made for a strong start while surrounded by the yellow “Strength in Numbers”

The proposal failed because it lacked a majority. On Thursday, a new proposal sought to allow non-scholarship transfers within the conference to avoid losing a year if the school the player is transferring from does give a written offer of aid.

KC defense falters, winning streak ends Cleveland (ap) — Defense played a big part in Kansas City’s World Series run last season.

On Wednesday night, it cost them a game in Cleveland.

Three errors over the final two innings by the Royals allowed the Indians to score three runs, including two in the ninth, and secure a 5-4 walk-off win.

The loss ended Kansas City’s six-game winning streak.

“Normally, we’re so strong defensively, that wins games for us,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “Tonight, we just made a series of errors in the eighth and ninth innings that cost us the game.”

Paulo Orlando entered the game as a defensive replacement in right field in the ninth and booted a base hit by Carlos Santana, allowing him to advance to second base to start the inning.

After Jason Kipnis bunted pinch-runner Michael Martinez to third, Francisco Lindor hit a line drive to right field. Orlando attempted a diving catch, but the ball rolled the wall.

Martinez scored to tie the game and Lindor slid headfirst into third with a triple.

Mike Napoli then hit a sacrifice fly to left that scored Lindor to win the game for the Indians.

With runners on first and second in the eighth inning, Yan Gomes hit a one-out grounder to shortstop that looked as if it would be a double play.

Alcides Escobar tossed the ball to Omar Infante for the force out at second, but Infante made an errant throw to first. Tyler Naquin hit a two-out single following the error that cut Kansas City’s lead to 4-3.

“We basically gave a game away today,” Yost said. “It feels like we let that one get away and that never feels good.”

Joakim Soria pitched the ninth for the Royals as closer Wade Davis was unavailable.

“Just didn’t want to use him three days in a row,” Yost said of Davis. “It was one of those things where he needed a day.”

Drew Butera and Cheslor Cuthbert homered for the Royals and Jarrod Dyson’s fourth-inning single broke a 3-all tie.

“I think the key is to continue to make her better, and make her teammates understand what they need to do to be better,” Juneau said. “It’s a symbiotic relationship.”

Piper already has two Sunflower League Player of the Year awards to her name, and her coach said sometimes people think it’s easier to play with an “exceptional” player — “who might be better than anybody else on the floor” — but that isn’t always the case.

Royals’ Moustakas has season-ending surgery day night, Alex Gordon met with a team of doctors. The appointment was routine — Gordon was set to be re-evaluated 10 days after breaking the scaphoid bone in his right hand during a collision in Chicago. The results, Gordon said, were encouraging.

He is set to play light catch as soon as this weekend in Cleveland.

He will begin swinging a bat when the Royals return home from a 10game road trip on June 13.

“They said it’s progressing the way it should be,” Gordon said.

Cleveland (ap) — Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas has had season-ending surgery on his right knee.

Moustakas tore his anterior cruciate ligament in a May 22 collision with teammate Alex Gordon.

The team says Thursday that the operation was performed by Dr. James Andrews in Pensacola, Florida.

Moustakas was a key player in helping Kansas City win the World Series last season and was selected to the AL AllStar team. He batted .240 with seven home runs in 27 games this year.

Gordon broke his wrist in the collision and the left fielder also is on the disabled list.

collided at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago, the Royals racked up eight victories. Gordon has watched his teammates win 13 of 16, move back into first place and record a perfect 6-0 home stand for the first time since 1988.

“It’s just fun to watch right now,” Gordon said.

“I was telling some of the coaches: This is probably the best I’ve seen us play since I’ve been here, as far as like a homestand.

Just not missing pitches, great quality at-bats, a lot of energy. It’s been really impressive.”

“It’s fun to watch,” Gordon added, before pausing. “Unfortunately.”

Perez available to pinch hit this weekend Catcher Salvador Perez could pinch hit this weekend. He took part in running and throwing drills Thursday.

Thompson doing what he did, making shots that nobody’s ever made, maybe ever in an NBA series?”

Self said. “Off the bounce, guarded, right foot behind left, he did it all. For anybody to even hint that … to me that’s what drives coaches nuts. Sometimes other guys play really well and make guarded shots. That’s what happened in that series. I thought Oklahoma City played great in Game Seven. (They) just had a bad third quarter.

“If Kevin (Durant) sticks around (and doesn’t leave this offseason via free agency), I can’t imagine anybody dealing with them moving forward. That Steven Adams cat is going to be unreal. He’s terrific.

They’ve got a great roster. If they stay together, they are going to win one for sure I would think.” l

NBA interest: What does Self think when he hears reports NBA teams are interested in him? Remember, ESPN’s Mark Stein a couple weeks ago said Houston’s Rockets were “intrigued” by the idea of Self as their next coach.

“I haven’t really heard that much. There’s been some media reports that obviously don’t mean much,” Self said. “I’ve said all along I’m totally content here. I really haven’t had any reaction. I heard a little bit about the Rockets.

I even had media call me about the Pacers (opening in Indiana). There was no interest I don’t think on their behalf at least that I’m aware of and certainly I’ve got such a good

Jaycie Bishop, Jaelyn Two Hearts and the rest of the Firebirds to thrive, as well.

“And we want to make it easier for Madison,” the coach added, “to understand her role and how she becomes part of that, too.”

The hope is things will start to click during the offseason, as the Firebirds play this month. Their summer league began this week, but it just so happened FSHS had a bye, so the new coach’s unofficial debut won’t come until Monday — a fortunate Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo break as far as Juneau FREE STATE JUNIOR ERIN was concerned.

forward Jarrett Allen.

Also, KU reportedly is a possible landing spot for former Mississippi State guard Malik Newman and former Kentucky forward Marcus Lee. “We’re still trying to finish up recruiting.

We’ve still got some openings there. We have 11 on aid right now,” Self said. “We still have a chance to get a couple more if that’s what we choose to do and we can pull it off. Everything is still status quo.

“It (recruiting) is never finished but there are times you feel you can catch your breath with it.

We are not quite at that point yet. I think we have a very nice recruiting class. I love the guys we’ve got so far (Josh Jackson, Mitch Lightfoot, Udoka Azubuike, Evan Maxwell). I still think there’s a couple holes. This next year’s recruiting class is so big for us because I really believe we could lose our top six players to the draft next year. We have to be prepared to be able to kind of stay the course whenever those guys do jump if they do, because I think they’ll all be capable of doing that.”

KU will lose senior starters Frank Mason III and Landen Lucas and one-and-done Josh Jackson. The Jayhawks will most likely lose Carlton Bragg and Svi Mykhailiuk and could also lose Devonté Graham to the NBA.

More on expansion: Talk of the Big 12 expanding to 12 teams has been discussed at this week’s conference athletic director meetings.

“I don’t think you expand just to expand,” Self said. “I wish they could figure out a way to have a football playoff game with 10 if that’s what they wanted to do. Even if you did it (had championship game) with 12 there’s still a great chance it could be a rematch. With 10 it would guarantee a rematch. Looking down the road the way it’s been explained to me there’s no immediate reason to feel like you have to do it. It’s something we have to be prepared to do because financially 10 years from now it could definitely mean a lot of potential revenue for each of the schools, at least the way it’s been explained to us.

I love our league. I mean I love our league. I like the Big 12 as it originated but I think this is better (with 10).

National League Giants 6, Braves 0 Atlanta — Madison Bumgarner won his sixth straight decision to match a career best and hit a two-run homer in a six-run fifth inning that led the Giants over Atlanta on Thursday.

Bumgarner (7-2) allowed four hits in 7 2/3 innings, struck out 11 and walked two, lowering his ERA to 1.91. The NL West-leading Giants have won 17 of their last 21 games and are unbeaten in Bumgarner’s last eight starts.

Bumgarner hit his second homer this season and 13th of his career, a 411-foot drive into the left-field seats. He reached double digits in strikeouts for the 28th time during the regular season, including three this year.

Hunter Strickland and Chris Stratton followed with hitless relief.

Joe Panik and Buster Posey also hit two-run homers in the fifth inning off Aaron Blair (04). Bumgarner and Panik connected following walks and Posey after Matt Duffy was hit by a pitch.

Eight straight Giants reach in the fifth against Blair and Eric O’Flaherty.

Cubs 7, Dodgers 2 Chicago — Kyle Hendricks dominated over eight innings, and Chicago backed him with four home runs, beating Los Angeles for its eighth win in nine games.

Javier Baez, Jason Heyward and Kris Bryant connected against 19-year-old Julio Urias (0-1). Anthony Rizzo hit a leadoff homer against J.P. Howell in the eighth as the major-leagueleading Cubs took three of four from the Dodgers.

Hendricks (4-4) allowed two runs and three hits, struck out six and walked one. He pitched a complete game in his previous outing to beat Philadelphia.

The Cubs gave Hendricks all the support he needed after managing just four hits over the previous two games.

Urias was simply overpowered in his second career start.

SAN FRANCISCO’S MADISON BUMGARNER delivers against Atlanta. The Giants defeated the Braves, 6-0, on Thursday in Atlanta.

Brewers 4, Phillies 1 Philadelphia — Chris Carter and Jonathan Villar homered, Chase Anderson pitched effectively into the sixth inning, and Milwaukee beat Philadelphia.

Anderson (3-6) allowed one run and three hits, striking out six in 5 2/3 innings to help Milwaukee win its eighth straight game in Philadelphia.

Maikel Franco homered for the Phillies, who have lost seven in a row.

Jerad Eickhoff (2-8) gave up two runs and eight hits in 6 2/3 innings. The right-hander left after a hard one-hopper back to the mound bounced off his foot.
