Kansas Heat advisory in deputy effect until Friday guilty in fatal crash Staff Reports

Emporia (ap) — An eastern Kansas sheriff’s deputy has been found guilty of vehicular manslaughter for a 2012 crash that killed a 59-year-old Madison man.

Lyon County deputy Tyler Pettigrew initially was charged with involuntary manslaughter, aggravated battery and using a wireless device to write, send or receive a written communication while driving.

Pettigrew was in his personal vehicle when he rearended a pickup truck driven by Michael Argabright in Lyon County in October 2012, then crossed the center line and struck a vehicle driven by Mark Harrison of Madison. Harrison was killed in the crash.

The 27-year-old has been suspended since his arrest in November.

A jury returned the verdict Wednesday. Pettigrew is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 1.

of Osawatomie. Two people, Monique Singh, of Kansas City, Kan., and Patrick Wiesner, of Lawrence, are seeking the Democratic nomination.

The move to activate those registrations is the result of a federal injunction last month that, pending a trial in the case, blocks the state from enforcing its proof of citizenship requirement for people who attempt to register through their local motor vehicle office.

U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson granted the injunction, saying the plaintiffs in the case Fish v. Kobach are likely to prevail on the merits of the case, which argues that the state’s proof of citizenship law violates the federal 1992 National Voter Registration Act, or “motor voter” law, at least as it applies to voting in federal elections.

That suit was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union.

Statewide, it is estimated Robinson’s order will affect more than 18,000 would-be voters who attempted to register while obtaining or renewing their driver’s licenses but who were placed “in suspense” for failing to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship.

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who championed the citizenship law in 2013, had asked the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to put a hold on Robinson’s order. But on Friday, a three-judge panel of the

10th Circuit declined to issue a stay.

“We were anticipating this would happen and were preparing for this,” Shew said Wednesday.

Shew said his office is now sending out notices to those voters affected by the order. If those voters no longer live at the address shown on their registration form, the notices will be returned to the county and those registrations will not be activated.

Since the proof of citizenship law took effect in January 2013, Shew said, 3,183 applicants have been placed in suspense for some period of time.

Of those, Shew’s office has been able to resolve 2,035 cases.

Last fall, Kobach implemented a new regulation requiring county officials to cancel registrations that have been held in suspense longer than 90 days. But Robinson’s order supersedes that regulation in cases of voters who attempted to register through motor vehicle offices.

As of Wednesday, Shew said, there were 336 other voter applications actively being held in suspense.

The case of Fish v. Kobach is just one of three active lawsuits challenging various aspects of the proof of citizenship law.

Another case pending in Shawnee County District Court, Belenky v. Kobach, could enable those voters being activated for federal races to cast ballots in state and local elections as well.

In that case, which was also brought by the ACLU, the plaintiffs are challenging Kobach’s au-

thority to conduct a “dual election” system in which some voters — those who attempted to register using a federal mail-in form, which didn’t ask for proof of citizenship — may only vote in federal elections, while others may vote in all elections.

In January, Judge Frank Theis ruled against Kobach, saying the secretary of state has no legal authority to conduct a dual election system.

But on Jan. 29, the day after Theis issued that ruling, Brian Newby, a close political associate of Kobach’s who is now executive director of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, unilaterally granted Kobach’s request to revise the federal registration forms used in Kansas by adding a line asking applicants to show proof of citizenship.

After that, Kobach filed a motion for Theis to reconsider his earlier decision, and Theis so far has not acted on that motion.

Newby’s action is now the subject of yet another lawsuit filed in federal court in Washington, D.C., by state and national chapters of the League of Women Voters challenging Newby’s authority to change the federal form without the approval of the three-member commission itself.

The judge in that case, Richard Leon, has not yet ruled on the plaintiffs’ request for a restraining order and injunction to void Newby’s changes to the federal forms used in Kansas.

Hot temperatures and high humidity have prompted a heat advisory for Douglas County and much of eastern Kansas through Friday morning.

The National Weather Service in Topeka issued an advisory that

prepared before Gov. Sam Brownback signed the state budget and ordered additional allotment cuts to higher education that were millions more than expected.

Regent Bill Feuerborn, who made the motion to approve additional increases as proposed, said he thought universities came back with “conservative” increases from last month to this month.

“I hate it that we have to raise tuition at all,” he said. “If the state dollars are not there, then they have to come from somewhere.”

The board’s approval was unanimous, but Regent Ann Brandau-Murguia voiced strong concerns about the higher tuition increases making universities inaccessible, especially if they continue.

“At some point you’re serving a very small percentage of the Kansas taxpayers,” she said.

Going forward, Brandau-Murguia said she urged university CEOs to worry as much about access for all students as they have been about increasing tuition to fund faculty and staff raises and the quality of education.

Like Rosen, who attended Wednesday’s Regents meeting in the stead of KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, other university CEOs cited needs including increased compliance costs, faculty salaries and remaining competitive in their markets.

Wichita State University President John Bardo, whose university stuck with the 5 percent tuition increase it proposed last month, said he aimed to manage mandatory costs without “adding more to the students’ backs.”

“Instead, what I’ve committed to do is to attempt to find other ways of increasing our efficiency this year to hold down costs,” he said. “It is an effort to say, ‘Do we really have to do this?’”

KU’s proposed standard tuition of $4,789 for in-state undergrads remains the most expensive in the state. Fort Hays State is still by far the cheapest, with an in-state undergraduate tuition of $1,894 per semester proposed for 2016-17.

Incoming KU freshmen, for the second year, may opt to pay a compact tuition rate instead — significantly higher, but locked in for four years.

KU’s proposed compact rate for in-state undergraduates is $5,242 per semester (or $5,727 including required fees).

That’s a tuition increase of $297, or 6 percent, over the 2015-16 compact rate.

Increasing Lawrence campus tuition the additional 1 percent — from the 4 percent originally proposed in May to the 5 percent approved Wednesday — is expected to bring in an additional $1.8 million for KU, universitywide, KU officials have said. Overall, the new proposed tuition and required fee increases would generate $9.1 million in additional ongoing funding for the Lawrence campus per year, and $2.1 million in additional ongoing funding for KU Medical Center, a total of $11.2 million per year.

Brownback’s May 18 action means a $7 million cut from what had previously been approved for the upcoming fiscal year for KU’s Lawrence campus, about 5.1 percent lower than what lawmakers had initially approved when they adopted a twoyear budget during the 2015 legislative session.

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

per year that Via Christi was losing from the state’s decision not to expand Medicaid.

Providers would likely further limit the number of Medicaid patients they accept, or stop accepting Medicaid patients all together, according to Sheldon Weisgrau, director of the Health Reform Resource Project, which is part of the Kansas Association for the Medically Underserved.

Weisgrau said rural hospitals would increasingly turn to the community for tax increases or other measures to make up for lost reimbursements. For example, the South Central Kansas Medical Center in Arkansas City is having its debt paid off by residents through a 1 percent sales tax hike. The hospital also started cutting $750,000 from its costs for the year.

“At some point, the communities can’t afford to do that and you see the hospitals go under,” he said.

BRIEFLY Over 600 cases involved suspended detective Topeka (ap) — A suspended Shawnee County sheriff’s detective who is charged with three counts of felony perjury worked on more than 600 cases, according to prosecutors.

The Shawnee County District Attorney’s Office found that the cases Erin Thompson handled ranged from traffic infractions to homicide, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported.

The newspaper obtained the list of 612 cases after filing an open records request.

Thompson, 40, was charged in May following a probe into inconsistencies on investigative reports. An affidavit accuses her of repeatedly reporting she talked with people she had never contacted.

If convicted of perjury, Thompson could face five to 17 months in prison for each count. Her lawyer, Tom Lemon, declined to comment.

Thompson joined the Shawnee County Sheriff’s Office in October 2001 and was promoted to detective in September 2007. The list of cases she handled includes 307 traffic cases from 2003 to 2006.

The remaining 305 cases cover a range of felonies and misdemeanors. At least 15 people currently are serving prison sentences resulting from cases linked to Thompson.

“It’s in that spirit that we gather here this evening, to feel a sense of solidarity, that we’re not alone in standing up to the hate that’s taking place in our society,” Lucky added.

The shooting in Orlando occurred Sunday at the nightclub Pulse, which was hosting a Latin dance night. The shooter has been identified as 29-year-old Omar Mateen, a radicalized Muslim whom the White House has portrayed as a “homegrown extremist.”

Moussa Elbayoumy, board chairman of the Kansas chapter of the Council on AmericanIslamic Relations, said people of all faiths need to work together to put an end to such crimes, no matter their religious or political ideology.

examination, Swisher said.

The woman testified on Tuesday that the two men forcefully restrained her and raped her in their dormitory room on the university’s campus.

After the encounter, the woman said she went back to her dorm room, then stopped at a friend’s room and took a shower before another friend called police.

The woman said she told police what happened and then was transported to the hospital, where she told Swisher her story during a rape kit examination.

Swisher told jurors that her observations of the woman’s genitals were consistent with the story she was told.

The two suspects, ages 20 and 21, were arrested on Nov. 15 and were later released after posting a $75,000 bond each.

The trial for the 20-yearold suspect began Monday. He faces two felony charges of rape and one felony charge of aggravated criminal sodomy. The 21-year-old suspect faces felony counts of aiding and abetting attempted rape and two counts of rape; his trial is scheduled to begin July 25.

During Swisher’s testimony, defense attorney Sarah Swain questioned whether she followed proper examination protocol.

Photographs of blood and some skin discoloration were either darkened or out of focus, Swisher admitted. Only a picture of discoloration to the woman’s neck was clear.

“The other discolorations, none of those are visible with the pictures you took?” Swain asked.

“No ma’am, they’re not,” Swisher replied.

Swisher also said she did not collect the woman’s underwear during the examination, despite hospital policies directing her to do so.

Throughout the rest of the day Wednesday, four police officers and two detectives testified.

Swain, alongside defense attorney Cooper Overstreet, questioned police on their preliminary investigation procedures.

During their preliminary investigations the officers and detectives all said they never entered the woman’s room, to collect evidence or otherwise, when the incident

As part of the vigil, religious leaders led those gathered in both song and prayer. Candles were lit and distributed among the crowd in remembrance of the shooting victims.

Sophie Johnson, of Lawrence, attended with several of her friends.

Johnson said that to address the shooting, communities need to talk about the issues behind it, such as homophobia.

“I think it’s really important to bring awareness to this in Lawrence,” Johnson said. “Since it’s Orlando, it seems like it’s so far away, and it’s easy

to distance yourself from the problem. A small community like this can talk about this and raise awareness.”

Enrique Penaloza of Reunión Libertad also addressed the crowd, speaking mostly in Spanish, after which his wife translated. More than 90 percent of the Orlando victims were Hispanic.

Penaloza said the only thing that can destroy hate is love, but that it needs to be actively cultivated.

“Kansas is the Sunflower state, and when we sow sunflower seeds, we only harvest sunflowers,” Penaloza said.

“When we sow hate, we only harvest death and destruction. We have to learn how to sow love to be able to harvest love.”

was reported.

A bag containing the woman’s clothes, which were worn during the incident, was given as evidence to Lawrence Police Officer Scott Chamberlain, he testified. However, those clothes were collected by the woman’s friend rather than by police, and Chamberlain said he did not verify whether they were the correct items.

Although their procedures were questioned, the officers and detectives said there were many

members of law enforcement at the scene and that all had their own respective duties. Those duties included interviewing the woman and taking her to the hospital, interviewing the suspects and standing guard outside the suspects’ dorm room.

The trial, which is scheduled to last eight days, will continue at 9 a.m. today.

In-law’s behavior isn’t bullying — it’s abuse Dear Annie: What is the best way to deal with someone who is a bully and verbally abusive? My brotherin-law is very demeaning to my sister. He makes cruel remarks about her physical appearance, calls her names and criticizes everything she does if it isn’t exactly what he likes.

My sister has been married to this bully for 30 years. I really don’t know how she has put up with him for so long. I try not to spend a lot of time around my brother-inlaw, but when I’m with the two of them, I want to defend my sister. I’m just not sure how to go about it.

Is it best to ignore a bully’s comments or is there a way to put him in his place? — A Bully’s Sister-in-Law

‘Aquarius’ back, not as experimental “Aquarius” (8 p.m., NBC, TV-14) returns for a second season with a two-hour, commercial-free helping. David Duchovny (“The X-Files”) stars as Los Angeles Police Department detective Sam Hodiak, a hard-boiled World War II vet increasingly at sea in the cultural turmoil of the late 1960s.

Last season, a friend reported her daughter missing and that investigation led Hodiak to Charles Manson (Gethin Anthony, “Game of Thrones”) and his cult.

This season opens with a glimpse of the mass murder that made Manson infamous and then flashes back to early 1968 as Hodiak and his partner, Brian Shafe (Grey Damon, “True Blood”), investigate biker gangs and drug dealers on the periphery of Manson’s twisted world.

Like a lot of evocations of the period, “Aquarius” spends much of its time on the soundtrack and groovy hair and fashions of the era. What it gets appallingly wrong is Hodiak’s character. Duchovny’s sardonic detective seems too close to Fox Mulder. From his hair to his temperament and his dialogue, Duchovny never comes close to the kind of crew cut-wearing, authority-venerating generation of police officers Hodiak is supposed to represent.

Last year NBC launched “Aquarius” in an experimental fashion, enabling viewers to stream the entire first season the night after the pilot aired.

Tonight’s commercial-free debut seems to be the extent of this year’s programming experimentation. So few people watched “Aquarius” last season that it was exiled to Saturday nights.

O Tim Tebow joins the home improvement competition series “Home Free” (8 p.m., Fox, TV-14) as co-host. Nine couples participate in the hopes of winning a dream home for their personal “hero,” a teacher, fellow soldier or loved one.

They’re not only building one house, but an entire neighborhood on “Home Free Boulevard.”

Look for twists and surprises galore, making this as much a game show as a “journey.”

As on a game show, hosts Tebow and Mike Holmes tend to speak very slowly and emphasize each syllable of every word as if addressing the hardof-hearing or the very young.

Tebow, a hit-or-miss quarterback with a devoted fan base, seems at the outer limits of his “performing” skills here. He fits right in with Holmes, who delivers his lines like a slightly impatient and exasperated gym teacher.

Sensible course Allowing local school districts to continue meeting the individual needs of transgender students is the right course.

A

statement issued Tuesday by the Kansas State Board of Education represents a common sense approach to accommodating transgender students in Kansas.

The board action takes this issue out of the political arena and affirms the ability of local school districts to deal with these students on an individual level rather than trying to enforce a one-size-fits-all policy. Local school officials around the state already are handling these issues and their efforts aren’t aided by national guidelines — no matter how well-intentioned.

The statement unanimously approved by the board reads, “In Kansas, like many other states, our schools have been addressing transgender student needs with sensitivity and success for many years. Just as every child is unique, so too is every school community. With that understanding, we are firm in our belief that the decisions about the care, safety and well-being of all students are best made by the local school district based on the needs and desires of the students, parents and communities they serve.”

Congratulations to the state board for taking the time to confer with local school officials rather than simply issue a knee-jerk rejection of the Obama administration’s guidelines that said students should be able to use facilities and participate in activities that correspond to their gender identity. The guidelines were a response to a North Carolina law that required students to use restrooms and changing facilities that correspond to the gender listed on their birth certificates.

The dispute over the North Carolina law dragged this issue into the political arena where defenders of the law used scare tactics to raise unwarranted fears about transgender individuals. The statement by the Kansas board brought the issue back to a local, individual level that satisfied board members who wanted to head off an infringement of local control of schools, as well as those who wanted to protect the rights and interests of transgender students.

The welfare of the students, of course, should be the objective — as local districts already know. Just this week, the Lawrence school board received a report from a task force charged with improving the school experience for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students. The report called for some changes in facilities as well as additional training to help teachers and staff members meet the needs of LGBT students.

Transgender issues currently are in the national spotlight, but school districts in Kansas and elsewhere have been addressing those issues on an individual level for years. The state board took the right approach by letting the districts continue to do their job in a way that supports individual students rather than broader political agendas.

Success is more than good luck Washington — Mitch Daniels, former governor of Indiana and current president of Purdue University, knows that no one in the audience is there to hear a commencement speaker. When, however, he addressed his institution’s class of 2016, it heard him distill into a few lapidary paragraphs a stance toward life that illuminates this political season.

A rite of spring in America is, Daniels noted, the dispensing of diplomas that are similar in what they announce but dissimilar in what they actually denote. They all pronounce the recipient to be a bachelor of this or a master of that. There is, however, evidence, as abundant as it is depressing, that there are enormous differences between the seriousness of the curriculums students study and the rigor with which their mastery of them is measured: “As employers have come to learn, many diplomas tell little or nothing about the holder’s readiness for work or for life.”

This matters, because diplomas often are credentials that are not credible, and because ample studies of happiness demonstrate that the most important predictor of it is, Daniels said, “earned success.” This involves sustained, difficult effort to surmount setbacks. And yet, said Daniels, perhaps the most dangerous of today’s many pernicious ideas is that “life is more or less a lottery.

That we are less masters of our fate than corks floating in a sea of luck.”

Daniels spoke six days

George Will

“

Progressives understand that their program for a government-centered society becomes more plausible the more people believe that work — individual striving — is unavailing.” after Barack Obama told Howard University’s class of 2016: “Yes, you’ve worked hard, but you’ve also been lucky. That’s a pet peeve of mine: People who have been successful and don’t realize they’ve been lucky. That God may have blessed them; it wasn’t nothing you did.”

Nothing. Hence the progressive agenda: Government must comprehensively regulate, redistribute and generally fine-tune society in order to engineer “fairness” to counter life’s pervasive and pernicious randomness (“luck”). Obama’s words at Howard were, of course, congruent with his 2012 campaign statement that “if you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that.

Somebody else made that happen.” So society did, with you contributing a bit.

Daniels was not responding to Obama, but he could have been when he told his graduates, “I hope you will tune out anyone who, from this day on, tries to tell you that your achievements are not your own.” He conceded the obvious: “I’m not saying that luck never plays a part; of course it can.” But unless it is tragically bad luck, “it almost never decides a life’s outcome.” Although you cannot eliminate luck from life’s equation, “you can tilt the odds in your favor” by commonsensical behavior — making healthy choices, getting and staying married, and, especially, working hard.

Daniels quoted Thomas Edison: “Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.” And movie pioneer Samuel Goldwyn: “The harder I work, the luckier I get.” And Frederick Douglass: “We may explain success mainly by one word and that word is work.” And Daniels cited this anecdote about Hall of Fame baseball player Eddie Murray: “Once, after his wrongfield bloop double had scored a winning run, Murray was yelled at by an opposing fan who shouted, ‘You must be the luckiest hitter in baseball.’

To which Murray politely replied, ‘You must not watch batting practice.’”

Progressives understand that their program for a government-centered soci-

ety becomes more plausible the more people believe that work — individual striving — is unavailing. Government grows as fatalism grows, and fatalism grows as progressivism inculcates in people the demoralizing — make that demoralizing — belief that they are victims of circumstances.

Without explicitly mentioning the paranoia currently convulsing many campuses, Daniels identified its origin. He said that “even more absurd” than the idea that life is a lottery is the idea that “most of us are victims of some kind, and therefore in desperate need of others to protect us against a world of predators and against our own gullibility.”

Daniels’ words to the class of 2016 clarify why the 2016 presidential campaign offers an echo, not a choice.

The presumptive Democratic nominee is a progressive committed to government ambitious enough to iron the wrinkles of luck out of life, and to distribute equity to life’s victims, meaning to everyone. The presumptive Republican nominee is a world-class whiner (a victim of debate moderators who are meanies, and most recently of a “rigged” judicial system) who is telling Americans that they are comprehensively victimized (by wily Chinese exporters, manufacturers making Oreo cookies abroad, freeloading allies, etc.). Purdue has the president the nation needs.

Separations, hatred are a choice I am supposed to be writing about a shooting in Orlando, but my thoughts keep circling back to a funeral in Louisville.

About the shooting, you have doubtless already heard your fill of grisly details. Suffice it to say that in the dark hours of Sunday morning, a Muslim man armed with a militarystyle assault rifle opened fire on Latin Night at a gay nightclub, killing 49 people, wounding dozens more.

The atrocity, the biggest mass shooting in American history, ignited another dreary spasm of Islamophobia, led by Donald Trump.

In short order, the presumptive Repugnant Party candidate for president bragged about “being right on radical Islamic terrorism,” suggested that President Obama is sympathetic to terrorists and renewed his call for a ban on Muslim immigration, though he did not explain how that would have stopped the killer, who, like Trump, was born in New York City.

For good measure, Trump’s Islamophobia was met by the homophobia of one Roger Jimenez, a Baptist preacher in Sacramento who told his congregation it was “great” that “50 pedophiles were killed

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

This is not about ideology. No, this is about the mainstreaming and normalizing of hatred in ways not seen for more than 50 years.”

today” and went on to call for the government to “round them all up and put them up against a firing wall and blow their brains out.”

So yes, this is what I need to be writing about today, the hatred, the division and the rhetorical and actual violence they spawn. But I keep coming back to that funeral for Muhammad Ali. Perhaps you caught some part of the ceremony on television the Friday before the shooting. If you did, perhaps you were struck, as I was, by the fact of ministers, rabbis, Iroquois spiritual leaders,

a Jewish comic, a black TV personality and a white politician born in segregated Arkansas, all coming together under one roof to honor an African-American Muslim.

Perhaps it spoke to some deep part of you of the potentialities beneath our animosities, the commonalities within our separations.

We are taught to regard the animosities and separations as definitive and unavoidable, part and parcel of what it means to be human.

That this is a lie is reflected in all the tributaries of color, faith and tribe that flowed together to honor Ali. Animosities and separations are not conditions you are born with. Rather, they are conditions you choose.

Jimenez, sadly, made that choice. So did Trump. And so did the man who walked into that nightclub and butchered all those people.

They are all alike. Only in degree and choice of weapon do they differ.

And as appalled, sickened and repulsed as the massacre leaves me, I am also disgusted by the response from these people in putative positions of responsibility and by the fact that their enablers on the political right will justify, rationalize

or otherwise make excuses for these acts of human malpractice. I am tired of chalking this sort of thing up to ideological disagreement.

This is not about ideology.

No, this is about the mainstreaming and normalizing of hatred in ways not seen for more than 50 years. It is about how people deserve to be treated, about whether we are a country where the exclusion and even execution of vulnerable peoples are bandied casually about from platforms of authority or whether we are a country with the courage of its convictions.

I don’t expect much from a mass murderer. But you’d like to think you can hope for a little — I don’t know — grace, dignity, statesmanship from a preacher and a would-be president. Is simple decency too much to ask?

God help us, if it is.

Friday saw all sorts of people cross all sorts of cultural lines in order to pay tribute to a man they all somehow recognized as one of their own.

It offered shining proof of what human beings can be.

Then came Sunday, and an awful reminder of what we too often are.

Senate locked by stand on guns Democrats demand action to cut violence Donovan Slack @donovanslack USA TODAY

Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., took to the Senate floor just before noon Wednesday and vowed to speak as long as he physically could until the Senate takes action to address gun violence.

Murphy listed mass shootings and talked about expanding back-

ground checks for gun buyers and banning gun sales to people on terror watch lists. He said the failure of Congress to pass such measures has been particularly disappointing to him and other residents of Connecticut, where a shooter gunned down 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary in 2012.

“I can’t tell you how hard it is to look into the eyes of the families of those little boys and girls who were killed in Sandy Hook and tell them that almost four years later, we’ve done nothing, nothing at all to reduce the likeli-

hood that that will happen again to another family,” Murphy said.

A string of fellow Democratic senators took turns asking Murphy questions.

Democrats renewed their push to toughen gun laws after the shooting at a nightclub in Florida on Sunday that killed 49 people, plus the shooter, and injured 53.

They have focused on a measure proposed by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., that would ban gun sales to suspected terrorists, including those on watch lists.

Republican leader Mitch McConnell said he and his GOP

colleagues are open to legislation that would ban such sales but only if it includes due process protections for individuals listed.

Obama’s TRAGEDIES COULD KEEP tenure TOURISTS FROM FLORIDA held at half-staff Disastrous week of mass He has ordered flags lowered more than any other president

Gregory Korte @gregorykorte USA TODAY

His tenure marked by terror attacks and mass shootings, President Obama has reached a sad milestone in his presidency: He has ordered the lowering of the nation’s flags to half-staff more often than any other president in history.

Sunday, Obama extended that unenviable streak, ordering all flags at federal buildings and ships at sea to be flown at halfstaff to honor the 49 victims of the Orlando nightclub shooting.

Those flags will remain at halfstaff until sunset Thursday, meaning the nation will spend most of National Flag Week — proclaimed by Obama in a separate order last Friday — with the stars and stripes in a mournful pose.

Since 2009, Obama has issued 66 proclamations to fly the flag at half-staff, exceeding President George W. Bush’s 58 and Bill Clinton’s 50, according to a USA TODAY analysis of presidential proclamations.

Health over wealth

88% of Americans would rather be healthy than rich. Only 37% expect to be in good health 10 years from now.

His party’s presumptive nominee, Donald Trump, said he will meet with the National Rifle Association “about not allowing people on the terrorist watch list, or the no-fly list, to buy guns.”

Chris Cox, executive director of the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action, said the group supports delaying a sale until an investigation is completed and blocking a sale only after a court hearing.

“At the same time, due process protections should be put in place that allow law-abiding Americans who are wrongly put on a watchlist to be removed,” Cox said.

Looting, arrests soar as Venezuela’s food crisis mounts Protests threaten leader’s hold on power Peter Wilson

Special for USA TODAY LA VICTORIA , VENEZUELA

Hungry Venezuelans escalated attacks on trucks carrying scarce food to the country’s largest cities Wednesday, a day after security forces arrested hundreds of protesters.

Photos on social media showed looters attacking trucks on the highway that connects Venezuela’s main port of Puerto Cabello to the industrial city of Valencia.

Others said that trucks ferrying food now can’t enter Cumana because of frequent attacks on highways entering the city.

Looting and violent protests are threatening President Nicolas Maduro’s hold on power.

“All it would take would be for the military to react violently to a protest, or just step back and let one go, and an epidemic of protests could emerge and grow out of control,” said David Smilde, senior fellow at the Washington Office on Latin America, a human rights group.

Maduro blames the looting on his opponents, who are promoting a referendum to recall him.

A tense peace reigned Wednesday in Cumana — one of Venezuela’s poorest cities — following the arrival of hundreds of National Guardsmen and police.

National newspapers also reported that protesters Tuesday night torched the local headquarters of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela in the western city of Lagunillas, while attacking the city hall. The actions took place after promised deliveries of powdered milk never arrived.

Protests and looting has soared as Venezuela’s food crisis mounts.

The Venezuelan Observatory of Violence, a human rights organization, said more than 10 cases of

“The looting is going to continue because there’s hunger. The government’s response appears to be insufficient or politicized.”

Roberto Briceno Leon, director of Venezuelan Observatory of Violence

looting are erupting daily now.

“The looting is going to continue because there’s hunger,” Roberto Briceno Leon, director of the organization, told the Associated Press. “The government’s response appears to be insufficient

or politicized, so people are resorting to robbery.”

Venezuela’s opposition blames the economic policies of Maduro, and his iconic predecessor, Hugo Chavez, for a collapsing economy and soaring inflation. To avoid a debt default this year, the government has slashed imports to save foreign currency. It has created food and medicine shortages.

Venezuela imports about 70% of the food it consumes.

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

Congress is wary of Iran’s deal with Boeing William Cummings and Nathan Bomey USA TODAY

A historic deal between Iran and Boeing for the purchase of more than 100 commercial airliners prompted strong objections in Congress on Wednesday, even before the agreement is finalized.

“To say we have national security concerns would be an understatement,” Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Ill., said a day after Iran’s minister of roads and urban development told the semi-official Iranian FARS news agency that a deal would be announced this week. “Boeing and the Islamic Republic should know the U.S. Congress will not look favorably upon any deal that jeopardizes the safety and security of the American people.”

If approved, the multi-billiondollar agreement would mark the first time new American aircraft have been sold to Iran since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, which led to four decades of estrangement between the two nations.

It also would be the largest commercial agreement between a U.S. company and Tehran since some sanctions were lifted six months ago as part of a pact Iran signed with the Obama administration and five other world powers in July. The accord aims to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons in exchange for lifting sanctions.

Chicago-based Boeing declined Wednesday to confirm the deal.

“We have been engaged in discussions with Iranian airlines approved by the (U.S. government) about potential purchases of Boeing commercial passenger airplanes and services,” the company said. “We do not discuss details of ongoing conversationwith customers, and our standard practice is to let customers announce any agreements that are reached. Any agreements reached will be contingent on U.S. government approval.”

NATO set for Afghan War till 2020 Obama has granted U.S. troops flexibility in battling Taliban Tom Vanden Brook @tvandenbrook USA TODAY

BRUSSELS The war in Afghanistan — America’s longest conflict — will grind on for at least four more years as NATO allies are ready to commit $5 billion through 2020 to train, equip and pay Afghan security forces, according to a senior NATO diplomat.

Last week, President Obama granted U.S. troops in Afghanistan expanded authority to attack Taliban insurgents. The new rules allow U.S. forces to advise regular Afghan combat units and to call in airstrikes. There are about 9,800 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, and Obama has pledged to reduce their number to 5,500 by year’s end.

Defense Secretary Ash Carter said the new, more aggressive approach put U.S. forces closer to the fight with the Taliban. The previous rules allowed U.S. troops in Afghanistan to protect

“We will more proactively support Afghan conventional forces in two critical ways: one, with more American firepower, especially through close air support; and two, by accompanying and advising Afghan conventional forces on the ground and in the air.

Memorial Day and Pearl Harbor day contributed to that total, as have the deaths of notable public figures such as Sen. Robert Byrd, Sen. Ted Kennedy, former first lady Nancy Reagan and Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

But it’s a spate of national tragedies — from the Fort Hood shooting that claimed 13 lives in 2009 to the most recent carnage in Orlando — that have distinguished the Obama presidency.

Fourteen proclamations honoring the victims of those tragedies have accounted for 79 days when the flag over the White House was at half-staff, more than half of the 158-day total under Obama.

“The lowering of the flag in an order from the president of the United States is a symbolic expression of national mourning, and it certainly is a way, symbolically, to demonstrate that the country is united in our support for a community that’s mourning,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Wednesday.

‘MECHANISM TO UNIFY’

Presidential scholars said Obama’s use of such proclamations shows an evolution of the presidential “soft power” as comforter in chief into a more formal and visible display of national sorrow.

“Especially during partisan times, when there’s polarization among the American people, presidents are seeking a way to find a mechanism to unify people,” said Brandon Rottinghaus, a professor at the University of Houston who tracks presidential proclamations.

Flags are lowered so often that it’s becoming difficult for the White House to know where to draw the line. After a lone-wolf terrorist killed five servicemen at a military recruiting station in Chattanooga last year, Earnest struggled to explain why it took

the president five days to order flags to be flown at half-staff.

“I don’t have a lot of insight to provide to you in terms of that decision-making process,” he said. “But I will note that the proclamation was issued right around the same time that the president was delivering a eulogy for the five servicemembers who were killed in east Tennessee.”

The American Legion, a veterans service organization often looked to for flag etiquette advice, said it’s not concerned about the increasing number of half-staff days proclaimed by the president. “That’s his prerogative,” deputy director Mike Buss said.

What does concern him is that individuals are increasingly lowering the flag for more personal reaEPA sons not proObama claimed by the president.

Before President Eisenhower, the lowering of flags was a more haphazard process, involving different departments making their own decisions and little consistency. After Eisenhower ordered flags lowered to half-staff for 30 days to honor Chief Justice Fred Vinson — a duration some thought too long — Eisenhower signed Proclamation 3044 to bring some clarity to the process.

Presidents and former presidents would get 30 days. Vice presidents, chief justices and House speakers would get 10. Associate justices, sitting Cabinet members and the secretaries of the Army, Navy and Air Force would have the flag lowered until their burial. (President Nixon amended that last group in 1969 to exclude service secretaries and add congressional leadership.)

“It was a logical thing to do to come up with a number days, so

Washington.

“It will allow them to have aircraft planned to respond in support of a particular operation,” Welsh said.

The Pentagon has said the new authorities will be limited to operations and missions that would have a significant impact on the battle and would not be used on a routine basis. Welsh said there are enough resources in Afghanistan now to support the expanded authority.

NATO will continue to deploy troops throughout Afghanistan into 2017, NATO secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg said.

“We are working on the final decisions for our force numbers into 2017,” Stoltenberg said.

Security in Afghanistan remains “tough,” said the senior diplomat who spoke on condition of anonymity because officials were not authorized to speak publicly.

Afghan troops still struggle to find competent leaders and supply troops in the field. Taliban insurgents continue to find safe haven in Pakistan and have exploited divisions in the Afghan government, the official said.

you knew what to do,” said John Hartvigsen, a flag historian at the Colonial Flag Foundation and the president of the North American Vexillological Association, which is dedicated to the scholarly study of flags.

Coast region is home to Cocoa Beach, the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and Port Canaveral, one of the world’s most popular cruise ports.

In all, Florida attracted a record 105 million visitors last year, according to Visit Florida, the state’s tourism marketing corporation. Of the 2015 visitors, 89.8 million come to Florida from within the USA, 4 million from Canada and 11.2 million from other countries.

Pizam said the potential impact on tourism might not be seen for a few weeks because people who already had plane and hotel reservations for this week would not likely cancel so close to their vacation.

Domestic travel to Florida might be affected less than certain segments of international travel because there may be more sympathy among U.S. residents to the situation in Orlando, and more of a push to support the area, Pizam said. That also may be true for European tourists, whose continent has experienced terrorism directed at tourist areas.

RULES NOT RIGID

Even Eisenhower gave himself and his successors the flexibility to lower flags on other occasions: “In the event of the death of other officials, former officials, or foreign dignitaries, the flag of the United States shall be displayed at half-staff in accordance with such orders or instructions as may be issued by or at the direction of the President, or in accordance with recognized customs or practices not inconsistent with law.”

For many decades, presidents more or less followed those guidelines, even as they used the flag as a way to honor everyday servicemen. President Kennedy lowered the flags for the 129 crewmembers of a sunken nuclear submarine, the U.S.S. Thresher, in 1963, and President Carter similarly honored eight servicemen who died in a failed rescue attempt of the Iranian hostages in 1979.

It was President Reagan who perhaps first understood how to use the tools of the modern presidency to unify the country during times of national tragedy. He lowered flags after the Soviet Union shot down a Korean Air Lines flight on which a congressman from Georgia was a passenger and after the space shuttle Challenger exploded.

Obama has continued those trends, and some wonder whether there’s a limit to how often the nation can be expected to pay attention to the many commemorations.

“The question is, how do we appropriately do it so we don’t overdo it, because when you overdo it it loses its meaning and significance,” Hartvigsen said.

CRAIG RUBADOUX, FLORIDA TODAY

A crowd gathers Monday in front of the Dr. Phillips Center for the Arts in Orlando.

The gator attack, though tragic, may be viewed as a “horrible freak accident” like a shark attack in the ocean or a child getting into a gorilla exhibit at a zoo, said Barbara Schenck, president and chief executive officer of Cocoa Beach-based FunDay Tours.

She said it will act as an “awareness piece,” educating the public about the potential dangers of getting too close to an alligator.

FunDay’s gator-focused tour excursions are its most popular.

She said it’s not likely to have a long-term impact on tourism to Disney World since Disney officials “will do everything they can to be sure it doesn’t happen again on their property.”

Eric Garvey, executive director of the Space Coast Office of Tourism, said he is closely monitoring developments in the investigation of the Pulse nightclub shootings.

Much will depend on whether the investigation finds that gunman Omar Mateen was completely acting on his own or “if it was part of a directed attack from a terrorist organization,” he said.

“What we’ve seen in the past is that fear will cause people not to travel,” Garvey said. “If there is fear of an imminent incident, they will cancel their plans. They will say, ‘I will just stay home this summer.’ ” “We live in a different world,” Pizam said.

Clinton to target Trump, economy She calls presumptive GOP nominee’s proposals ‘incoherent,’ unfair Heidi M. Przybyla USA TODAY

Hillary Clinton told USA TODAY on Wednesday she plans to make the case for why Donald Trump is “temperamentally unfit” to manage the nation’s economy and pledged to end a tax loophole for wealthy Americans by executive action if necessary in a preview of a second major policy address, scheduled for next week, that casts the real estate mogul as dangerous and unqualified.

In her first interview after meeting with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders on Tuesday night in Washington, Clinton declined to offer a definitive position on one of his key demands as his Democratic presidential bid winds down: that party chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz be replaced. Clinton praised Wasserman Schultz for her commitment to defeating Donald Trump.

This month in San Diego, Clinton delivered a blistering speech that cast Trump as too dangerous to serve as the nation’s commander in chief because of his proposed temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States, lack of foreign policy knowledge and his temperament. She has continued those attacks in the days following Sunday’s Orlando nightclub massacre, the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.

In a speech in Columbus, Ohio, next Wednesday, Clinton said she will make “a similar case on the economy that I did on foreign policy: that Donald Trump is erratic and temperamentally unfit to be responsible for the world’s largest economy.”

Clinton pointed to one example of Trump’s “incoherent” economic argument by noting that the billionaire has built his populist appeal around leveling the playing field for lower-income Americans, even though she said his tax plan gives a $3 trillion break to millionaires and billionaires over the next 10 years.

She pointed out that his proposal would lower rates for

Hillary Clinton talks national security at the Virginia Air and Space Center in Hampton, Va. hedge-fund and private equity managers by creating a new, lower 15% bracket. “They would actually see their carried interest rate cut by one-third, making the loophole worse rather than closing it,” she said. Previewing her speech next week, she said, “He’s either completely incoherent or he hasn’t thought one bit about his plan.”

Clinton said she’ll pledge that, if Congress does not act, as president she’ll ask the Treasury Department to use its regulatory authority to end a tax advantage, commonly referred to as the carried-interest loophole, that allows hedge-fund managers to pay a lower rate than other taxpayers by counting their income as investment income.

Clinton’s speech will seek to undercut Trump’s appeal to middle- and lower-income Americans who’ve been drawn to his populist pledges to bring back manufacturing and coal jobs by slapping fines on China and cutting better trade deals.

“He’s either completely incoherent or he hasn’t thought one bit about his plan.”

Hillary Clinton on Donald Trump’s economic ideas

The goal is to demonstrate how his rhetoric does not match his policies, which would disproportionately favor wealthier Americans, according to the campaign.

Regarding the meeting with Sanders, the presumptive Democratic nominee did not completely dismiss several of his demands as he refuses to concede the race.

“I’ve seen how committed she is to making sure Donald Trump is not the president,” Clinton said of Wasserman Schultz. “I’ve not heard any conversations in the party about changes,” she added, noting the Florida congresswoman was recommended

by President Obama.

As her campaign vets potential vice presidential candidates, Clinton gave another nod to Sanders, indicating she is prioritizing those with a progressive profile.

“We’ve got a great group of Democrats that are progressive and who agree with me about the direction of the country,” she said.

As for Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee has doubled down on his proposed temporary ban on Muslims after the Orlando shooting. Party leaders have been critical of the proposal, yet they have not withdrawn their endorsement of Trump.

“Now he is accusing our president of somehow encouraging terrorists and it is really offensive, even pathetic,” she said.

“And I do wonder how Republican leaders like House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell can stay silent while their presumptive party nominee suggests that the President of the United States supports terrorists.”

To all coffee drinkers around the world: Feel free to have another cup, as long as you wait for it to cool.

Drinking coffee, tea and other beverages at temperatures hotter than 149 degrees may lead to cancer of the esophagus, the World Health Organization reported Wednesday.

Beverages that are too hot can injure cells in the esophagus and lead to the formation of cancer cells, said Mariana Stern, an associate professor of preventative medicine and urology at the University of Southern California’s Keck School of Medicine.

But a cup of joe at the right temperature might not be so dangerous, and it could even be beneficial.

Scientists said coffee at cooler temperatures is safe to drink and may decrease the risk of liver cancer by 15%, according to the research published in Lancet Oncology on Wednesday.

Previously, the International Agency for Research on Cancer ruled coffee was “possibly carcinogenic” in 1991.

The research involved Stern and 22 other scientists from 10 countries who examined about 1,000 studies on more than 20 types of cancer. They determined that beverages at very hot temperatures are “probably carcinogenetic,” with a higher risk of developing cancer of the esophagus.

According to a 2015 Gallup poll, 64% of adults in the U.S. said they drank at least one cup of coffee a day, and coffee drinkers consumed almost three cups each day.

The average American consumes the beverage at a temperature of 140 degrees, Murray said.

A House committee voted Wednesday to censure IRS Commissioner John Koskinen for what Republicans allege was his obstruction of an investigation into whether the IRS improperly scrutinized Tea Party groups seeking tax-exempt status.

Democrats on the panel denounced the action as a “travesty” that publicly defames an honorable public servant.

The IRS had no immediate response, but Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew defended Koskinen as “an outstanding public servant of

the highest integrity with decades of experience leading both public and private institutions.”

Members of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee voted 23-15 along party lines to approve a resolution condemning and censuring Koskinen and expressing the sense of the House that he engaged in a pattern of conduct inconsistent with the trust and confidence placed in him.

A small rodent in Australia is the world’s first mammal to go extinct due to man-made climate change, according to a report published Tuesday.

The Bramble Cay melomys, which lived only on a small, 10-acre, sand-covered island in the Great Barrier Reef between Australia and Papua New Guinea, probably went extinct because of rising sea levels, scientists said.

Ocean waters inundated the low-lying island several times over the past decade, likely leading to the animal’s disappearance, study author Luke Leung of the University of Queensland said.

The ocean water caused dramatic habitat loss and perhaps drowned many of the animals.

kicked off a major international naval exercise this week, they found an uninvited guest: A Chinese Navy warship.

But it was no surprise.

Warships from the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) have begun to routinely shadow U.S. Navy ships through much of the region.

U.S. commanders said Wednesday Chinese warships closely followed the powerful USS John C. Stennis carrier strike group from nearly the minute it entered the disputed South China Sea on a regular patrol in early March.

“We did see PLAN ships quite routinely throughout the South China Sea. In fact, we were in constant visual contact with at least one PLAN ship at any one time, 24/7,” said Rear Adm. Marcus Hitchcock, commander of the Stennis strike group.

That’s a major departure from recent years and seems to provide further evidence of China’s increasingly assertive behavior in the region.

Twice in the last week, PLAN warships have sailed into or alongside Japanese territorial waters, including those around the disputed Senkaku Islands, in the East China Sea. That has sparked protests from Japan, one of America’s closest allies.

Warships from the U.S., Japan and India kicked off the sea portion of a weeklong joint exercise Wednesday in the Philippine Sea, not far from Japan’s southernmost islands.

The Navy describes the “Malabar” war games as “complex, high-end, war-fighting exercises” designed to increase the ability of U.S., Indian and Japanese naval forces to operate together.

and the U.S. but has expanded in recent years to include Japan.

This is the second time in three years that the exercises have been held near Japanese waters and marks a shift in Indian relations toward the U.S. and its allies.

India is embroiled in a longrunning border dispute with China and is wary of the PLAN’s increasing operations in the Indian Ocean.

Last week, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi told a joint session of Congress that a strong India-U.S. partnership “can anchor peace, prosperity and stability from Asia to Africa and from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific.”

The nuclear-powered Stennis is nearing the end of a planned six-month patrol through the Asia-Pacific region. Its strike group includes four other surface warships and a Los Angeles-class attack submarine.

Hitchcock said Wednesday that PLAN warships had followed as close as 3 to 4 miles from the USS Stennis while it was operating in international waters in the South China Sea. He said a PLAN intelligence gathering ship had followed the Stennis group into the Philippine Sea last week. It was operating about 7 to 10 miles from the carrier on Wednesday during the Malabar exercises, which are taking place in international waters.

Stennis’ commanding officer, Capt. Gregory Huffman, said the Chinese ships have operated in a professional manner throughout and that the Stennis group has been able to conduct operations unimpeded.

More CEOs expect to increase capital spending while fewer expect to reduce employment, compared with last quarter, but executives further lowered their estimate of real gross domestic product growth for 2016.

The job cuts will occur mostly at stores mostly on the West Coast and involve accounting and invoicing workers, Mark Ibbotson, an executive vice president, tells the “Wall Street Journal.” Instead, the bookkeeping functions will be switched to Walmart's home office in Bentonville, Ark. Cash at the stores will be counted by machine. The idled workers will be offered jobs that directly serve customers in the store, although they may not earn the same wage.

The Federal Reserve on Wednesday pretty much told Wall Street it no longer seems intent on piling up interest rate hikes this year — or next year.

But not even a more patient Fed could provide a boost to the struggling U.S. stock market.

Indeed, Wall Street stretched its losing streak to five sessions as stocks sank late Wednesday after the Fed left interest rates unchanged, pared back projected hikes in future years and did little to signal a rate hike is coming in July — the latest signs that suggest rates will stay “lower for longer.”

The Dow Jones industrial average, which was up more than 55 points, or 0.3%, before the Fed’s 2 p.m. rate announcement, closed down 35 points, or 0.2%.

The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index fell 0.2%, and the Nasdaq composite lost 0.2%.

While Wall Street wasn’t expecting the U.S. central bank to hike rates at Wednesday’s meeting due to signs of weakness in the U.S. labor market in May and caution leading into next week’s vote in Great Britain on whether to stay in the European

A screen displays the Fed decision as traders work the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday.

Union, investors received the Fed’s message that fewer rate hikes are in the pipeline and U.S. economic growth isn’t likely to break out of its less-than-stellar 2% growth rate until after 2018.

The Fed downgraded its economic growth projections for 2016 to 2%, down from a forecast of 2.2% in March, and dialed back its 2017 growth forecast. More important, the Fed issued a less-aggressive outlook for future rate hikes, citing persistent uncertainties pertaining to the economy and international events. Although the Fed’s median projection for two rate hikes this year remains intact, six Fed members now see just one rate hike this year, up from just one member heading into the meeting. The Fed’s “dot

plot” — a term used to describe how many rate hikes Fed members see coming — was also downgraded, as fewer hikes are seen coming in 2017 and 2018.

Futures markets are now placing just 7% odds of a hike at July’s meeting, down from around 21% before the Fed statement.

In its statement, the Fed still said conditions “warrant only gradual increases” in rates.

In a question-and-answer session with reporters, Fed Chair Janet Yellen said the May job slowdown and “uncertainties” related to the Brexit vote on June 23 both “factored into the decision not to hike rates.”

“The statement had a dovish tone with rates expected to stay ‘lower for longer,’ ” Chris Gaffney, president of EverBank World Markets, told USA TODAY via email. “Right now it looks like any interest rate increase will have to wait until after the summer.”

If there was a dark side to the Fed’s reluctance to boost borrowing costs, it is that it suggests the central bank is having concerns about the staying power of the economy, Gaffney said.

“This really drives home our thoughts that the Fed is flailing in its attempt to the U.S. economy growing again,” he said.

The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady on Wednesday and predicted more gradual hikes the next few years amid somewhat slower economic growth and persistent headwinds to a more vibrant economy.

In a statement after its twoday meeting, the Fed didn’t rule out a July rate increase but highlighted the recent downturn in job growth, indicating a July move is a long shot.

“We need to assure ourselves that the underlying momentum in the economy has not diminished,” Yellen said at a news conference. “I don’t know what the timetable will be to gain that assurance.”

She said a July hike “is not impossible,” suggesting that strong job growth in June and substantial EPA upward revisions of May’s Fed Chair feeble gains Janet Yellen could embolden the Fed to act soon.

The central bank left its benchmark rate unchanged at 0.4%. It raised the fed funds rate in December for the first time in nearly a decade but has stood pat since amid a listless U.S. and global economy, and financial market turbulence early in the year.

Yellen said next Thursday’s British vote on whether to leave the European Union “was one of the factors that factored into today’s decision. ... International uncertainty looms large here.”

She said a vote to secede “could have consequences for the (U.S.) economy and financial conditions.”

The Fed also has grown more cautious about the longer-term outlook. Fed policymakers’ median forecast indicates they still expect two quarter-percentagepoint rate increases this year, with the key rate ending the year at 0.9%, in line with their March estimate.

But they now expect just three hikes each in 2017 and 2018, down from their previous projection of four in each year. That would put the fed funds rate at 2.4% at the end of 2018 and 3% in the longer run, down from their previous forecasts of 3% and 3.3%, respectively.

Yellen cited headwinds to growth including slow productivity gains, a weak global economy and sluggish household formation, all of which “could persist over some time.”

Companies face a worsening profit problem Fast-sinking Q2 profit outlook stokes investors’ jitters Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

There is no shortage of things for investors to worry about, with “Brexit” and interest rates being top of mind. But a potentially more serious concern is bubbling beneath the surface: rapidly sinking corporate profit expectations.

The profit recession might not be over.

Analysts are now predicting that companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 will report 4.7% lower profit in the second quarter, says S&P Global Market Intelligence.

That is a dramatic change from just two months ago when earnings were likely to fall just 2.5%.

Even worse, back in January analysts thought profit would grow, and by a healthy margin with earnings up 4.1% from a year

earlier.

This isn’t just a big problem for a few companies and their investors. In the past two months, second-quarter profit forecasts have been cut at least 1% at 239 companies in the S&P 500, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. Forecasts have been cut 30% or more at 30 of those 500 companies.

Sinking expectations for profits in the current quarter are a problem for the stock market because corporate earnings had been one of the forces insulating stocks from external shocks the past few years. Now U.S. investors don’t have that security of growing corporate profits to cushion the blow from macro-economic shocks such as the threat of the United Kingdom leaving the European Union and future moves by the Federal Reserve. Now, if analysts are correct, investors will have to deal with the fourthstraight quarter of lower S&P 500 earnings.

Some of the big drops in profit

forecasts the past two months at individual companies demonstrate just how rapidly fortunes can turn. Consider big-energy companies. Oil services giant Halliburton is now expected to lose 17 cents a share on an adjusted basis in the second quarter vs. the 2-cents-a-share profit analysts expected two months ago. The declining profit expectations don’t seem to bother investors much. Shares of Halliburton are up nearly 15% the past two months because of the powerful rally in energy stocks fueled by a rise in oil prices.

Some of the profit downgrades are the result of revelations by the companies when they announced their first-quarter profit.

Toymaker Mattel is now expected to lose 5 cents a share in the second quarter, down from the 3cents-a-share profit expected two months ago. Currency factors were a big blow that will be repeated in the second quarter, says Linda Bolston Weiser, analyst at B. Riley. Meanwhile, analysts underestimated how much the loss

Now U.S. investors don’t have that security of growing corporate profits to cushion the blow from macro-economic shocks, like a Brexit. of the Disney Princess toy license would hit Mattel’s bottom line.

It’s possible estimates won’t get any worse and falling profit expectations are priced in. Some optimists point out reduced estimates create a lower bar, which could help companies beat when they start reporting quarterly results in about a month. Many energy investors understand second-quarter results “will be the bottom” and are already looking to what profit will be in 2017 and 2018, says Sonny Randhawa, analyst at D.A. Davidson. “We are already getting indications that the surge in commodity prices is going to stimulate additional (energy exploration and production) spending,” Randhawa says.

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

June was on the table, the Federal Reserve said so just a few weeks ago. But the U.S. central bank, as it has done at every meeting this year, didn’t pull the trigger Wednesday on interest rate hikes. Now Wall Street figures the Fed might not go at all this summer.

Fed Chair Janet Yellen said all the “uncertainties” surrounding next week’s vote in Britain to leave or stay in the European Union “factored” into the Fed’s decision not to boost rates, now pegged around 0.5%. The growth outlook in the U.S. was cited as another uncertainty, as was the labor market slowdown in May. “We need assurances that the underlying momentum in the

Wall Street’s reaction? Push stocks down modestly, extending the losing streak to five sessions, and prop up government bond prices further, pushing down yields in the process.

Investor reaction was part confusion, part trepidation. “The Fed is dead, according to the market at least,” Bryce Doty, a portfolio manager at Sit Rising Rate ETF, said via email.

Country-style restaurant has tough row to hoe Q: Can Bob Evans fatten up its stock?

Matt Krantz

@mattkrantz mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Bob Evans Farms is a restaurant chain best known for its sausage and biscuits. But lately, the company’s returns have been unsavory.

Shares of the company dropped more than 9% Wednesday to just over $40 a share after delivering a profit outlook for the current fiscal year that missed expectations.

The company says it hopes to earn between $2 and $2.15 a share in the fiscal year ended in April 2017. That guidance was soft given investors thought the company would earn $2.07 a share, says S&P Global Market Intelligence. The company also says it expects sales at stores open at least a year to be flat or even fall in a single-digit percentage.

Disappointing guidance is just the latest setback. Shares of Bob Evans are down more than 6.5% over the past 12 months and off 5.2% over the past three years. Over the past three years, the Standard & Poor’s 500 is up nearly 27%.

Bob Evans pays a market-beating current dividend yield of 3%, which tops the market’s roughly 2% yield, but that hasn’t been enough to counteract its disappointing stock performance.

Analysts think company can get its swagger back with the help of the grocery business. Analysts rate the stock “outperform” and say it could be worth $54.50 a share in 18 months.

Atlantic City workers threaten strike for July 4 holiday Paul Davidson @Pdavidsonusat USA TODAY

Union workers at more than half of Atlantic City’s hotel casinos were expected Thursday to authorize a July 1 strike that could effectively shut down or disrupt much of the seaside gambling resort before the busiest weekend of the year.

An extended walkout could ravage the bustling summer season just as the casinos are rejuvenating after a brutal shakeout and the city teeters near bankruptcy.

JOHN MOORE, GETTY IMAGES

Billionaire Carl Icahn owns the Trump Taj Mahal and a majority of the Tropicana in Atlantic City.

Six thousand workers at five of Atlantic City’s eight casinos — Caesars, Harrah’s Resort, Bally’s, Tropicana and Trump Taj Mahal

— would walk off the job July 1 if union representatives can’t reach agreement with casino owners, says Bob McDevitt, head of Local 54 of the UNITE HERE union.

He says talks have yielded no progress since they began May 3.

Billionaire Carl Icahn owns the Trump Taj Mahal and a majority of the Tropicana, while the Apollo Group controls Caesars, Harrah’s and Bally’s. The two private equity firms did not return emails seeking comment, and it’s not clear whether the casinos would hire replacement workers, as they did during the last strike in 2004.

Union members — including

cocktail servers, bellhops, cooks and housekeepers — are demanding a hike in average hourly wages from $11.74 to “well above $12.50” in five years, McDevitt says. Pay has been stagnant for a decade, he says. The workers also want to reinstate health insurance at the Taj Mahal and preserve no-premium health benefits at the other four casinos. They’ve been working under terms of a three-year contract that expired in 2014.

With the casinos reeling in 2014, the union agreed to givebacks such as less time off and overtime pay. And in 2014, before Icahn took over the Taj Mahal, a

bankruptcy court judge agreed to scrap its workers’ health and pension benefits. That year, four Atlantic City casino resorts closed.

The gambling hub waged a modest comeback in 2015, with sales up 2%. Operating profits for the eight surviving resorts rose 40% to $547 million. McDevitt says the owners won’t let the workers share in the prosperity despite their earlier concessions.

Analyst Steve Norton, a former industry executive, argues the casinos are “barely surviving” after paying expenses such as taxes and interest, with room sales outpacing casino revenue.

RUMOR PATROL Richard Simmons is speaking out after tabloid headlines claimed he was transitioning from male to female. In a Facebook post, Simmons wrote: “Although I am not transitioning, I have and always will be supportive of those who are going through their journey.” The 67year-old fitness personality, who was hospitalized this month for dehydration, also wrote of his support for the LGBT community: “We should not lose focus on showing love, strength and compassion to all of the LGBT community during these tragic times.

My broken heart and healing thoughts are with the people of Orlando and all other victims of prejudice, bigotry and hate.”

One night about three years ago, lush-voiced maverick k.d. lang decided to fire off a pair of emails to fellow singer/songwriters Neko Case and Laura Veirs, asking if they’d like to record with her.

Veirs, an indie-folk/pop favorite, had met lang at a benefit concert while pregnant with her second son. “I believe I had just had him” when lang’s message arrived, she says, but “I can’t remember the exact chronology.”

Alt-rock veteran Case proposes that “k.d.’s email is what put her into labor.”

Anyhow, Veirs “kind of pretended I had nothing going on,” and sessions were arranged. The resulting album, case/lang/veirs, out Friday, features 14 new songs crafted and performed by the three women; lyrical and reflective, with frugal but richly atmospheric arrangements, they were produced with the trio by veteran boardsman Tucker Martine, Veirs’ husband.

“The easiest thing would have been to make an album of cov-

k.d. lang, Neko Case and Laura Veirs team up on a lushly lyrical new album

ers,” lang says. “We thought, that would be cool — but it would be way cooler if we could write together.” They worked in lang’s loft and at Veirs’ home, both in Portland, Ore., before heading into Martine’s studio. (Case, who lives in Vermont, “was kind enough to come out and grace us with her presence,” Veirs says.)

The process could be challenging. “We’re all used to being bossy-bosses,” Case says.

For Veirs, “it was eye-popping to learn that, yeah, you could make really cool music co-writing. I’d never done that; I had the notion that kind of deep creativity was a solitary endeavor. You’re not going to write a novel with someone else, and you’re not going to paint a painting with someone else.

But wow, you can do this with other people, and it can be better than doing it on your own.”

Lang’s original vision for the album was “to have it be kind of punk and fun and kitschy,” she says. “But Neko and Laura are such beautiful,

soulful writers that they kind of held me back from the ledge.”

The songs on case/lang/veirs also emphasize the individual voices of each member, says lang: “Neko and Laura are both known for great background parts, so we made a conscious effort not to sing the obvious parts at all times, and to really let the lead vocalist shine.”

But “when we had three-part harmonies, we definitely wanted them to have great impact,” Case adds. “I remember the exact spot I was staring at on k.d.’s ceiling” when they began singing parts together. “I remember just feeling the vibration. You feel it before you hear it, and it’s the craziest, most excellent feeling in the world.”

Lang suggests the album is a one-shot, quipping, “The only way we would do a ‘Volume 2’ is if we win exactly seven Grammys.” The trio will launch a tour, though, June 22 in San Diego; songs from the album will be mixed with covers and tunes from each member’s personal catalog.

“I was actually thinking we should sing each other’s songs,” lang says, mischievously. “I’d be totally down with that.”

‘Food, Health and Happiness’ will be her first release

“I had the notion that kind of deep creativity was a solitary endeavor. ... But wow, you can do this with other people, and it can be better than doing it on your own.”

Make room in the kitchen, Gwyneth and Chrissy: Oprah’s coming.

Celebrity cookbooks are all the rage, and now Winfrey is throwing her chef’s hat into the ring.

Her cookbook, Food, Health and Happiness: ‘On Point’ Recipes for Great Meals and a Better Life, will arrive on Jan. 3 under her new, as-yet unnamed publishing imprint.

Expect it to be a recipe for best-selling success, based on Winfrey’s known ability to sell millions of books through her book club.

And while this is the first cookbook with Oprah’s byline, she was involved with one by her personal chef, Rosie Daley, in 1994. In the Kitchen With Rosie spent a remarkable 16 consecu-

Oprah Winfrey heats up the cookbook market with her own entry, coming in January. tive weeks at No. 1 on USA TODAY’s BestSelling Books list.

In the new cookbook, Winfrey will discuss her “lifelong relationship with food and share recipes for the meals she loves,” according to publisher Flatiron, a division of MacMillan.

Winfrey, who has famously battled her weight for years,

bought a 10% stake in Weight Watchers last year.

“In the past several months on Weight Watchers, I have worked with wonderful chefs to make healthier versions of my favorite meals,” Winfrey said in a statement. “When people come to my house for lunch or dinner, the No. 1 thing they ask is, ‘How is this so delicious and still healthy?’ So I decided to answer that question

with recipes everyone can enjoy.”

The public has shown an appetite for celebrity cookbooks this year.

Chrissy Teigen’s Cravings: Recipes for All the Food You Want to Eat was an instant best-seller when it was released in February.

It was the first cookbook to ever land at No. 1 on USA TODAY’s list, and it spent 12 weeks in the top 150. (In the Kitchen With Rosie made its debut at No. 7 on April 21, 1994.)

After Teigen, Gwyneth Paltrow had a hit with It’s All Easy, her cookbook, which reached No. 16 on USA TODAY’s list in April.

Not every celebrity cookbook released this year has been an automatic best seller. Back to the Kitchen by actor Freddie Prinze Jr., released last week, failed to make USA TODAY’s top 150 this week.

Winfrey’s cookbook will replace her planned memoir as the first book to be published under her imprint, which was announced last year. Flatiron has postponed the release date for The Life You Want. Those titles will be joined by several non-fiction books each year, which will be handpicked by Winfrey.

BLUE TEAM BIG MAN UDOKA AZUBUIKE THROWS DOWN A POWERFUL DUNK for two of his 26 points in the Bill Self campers game on Wednesday at Horejsi Center.

Kansas University freshman power forward Udoka Azubuike, all 7-feet, 270 pounds of him, dribbled the basketball past half court and, after a sweet cross-over dribble move, re-accelerated, attacked the hoop with two hands and slammed in the face of former Jayhawk forward Kevin Young on Wednesday in Horejsi Center.

Free State volleyball picks up the pace at camp

FREE STATE HIGH SENIOR LARISSA GAUMER EYES A BALL AT THE NET during the Firebirds’ camp Wednesday at FSHS.

After winning 23 matches last year, things are moving a little faster for Free State High’s volleyball team this summer.

The Firebirds are more comfortable playing under second-year coach Amy Hoffsommer, knowing what to expect in each practice.

Plus, one of their main objectives on the court is speeding up their offense.

Playing faster with the ball creates more pressure on opposing defenses, and it will be comparable to some of the top teams in the state.

“Last year, we would run a quick offense, but teams like Olathe East and stuff, they

run really quick offenses,” senior Natalie Clarke said.

“We’re just trying to catch up to the other teams in our league and get as quick as them so that we can play at higher level.”

The Firebirds have more than 30 girls participating in the weeklong team camp at FSHS. For the final 30 minutes of Wednesday’s practice, they put the balls away, and Hoffsommer discussed nutrition with her team.

It’s featuring a different flow than last year’s summer camp, when players were mostly focused on the fundamentals and first starting to learn Hoffsommer’s offensive and defensive systems. This year, the Firebirds are working more

on their tactics and strategy.

“We actually reduced the camp,” Hoffsommer said.

“We were four hours last year and three hours this year. I’m pretty much doing the same stuff in three hours that took four hours to do simply because everything was new.

“It’s so much easier and more concise. It’s really going to help us move on past where we had to start from last year.”

It helps that the Firebirds have a strong core of returning players, including All-Sunflower League selections Naomi Hickman, Payton Gannaway, Rachel Hickman and Clarke.

Royals release Infante Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The Kansas City Royals walked away from veteran infielder Omar Infante on Wednesday.

They walked away from a big pile of cash, too.

The Royals designated Infante for assignment before their game against the Cleveland Indians, likely ending his rather unproductive tenure in Kansas City. Unless he is traded or claimed on waivers, both of which are unlikely, the Royals will owe him the remainder of the $7.75 million due this season, $8 million on his contract next season and a $2 million buyout for the 2018 season.

“It’s a mistake you don’t like to make. You don’t like to spend unnecessarily,” said Royals general manager Dayton Moore, who signed Infante to his $30.25 million, four-year deal before the 2014 season.

“They’re expected to work out when you make that kind of commitment.”

Especially when you’re a small-market club like the Royals, who are already pushing their payroll to record heights as they attempt to retain the core of their World Series championship team.

But with the emergence of rookie Whit Merrifield, and the continued development of Christian Colon, the Royals decided they had to part ways with one of their veterans. The 34-year-old Infante was hitting just .239 with 11 RBIs in 39 games, and hit .220 in 124 games a year ago, when an injury sidelined him during the Royals’ run to their first title since 1985.

“It’s part of doing business, but you want to get these decisions right,” Moore said. “If you’re not making mistakes, you’re probably not being aggressive enough.”

Moore did praise Infante for his professionalism, particularly in a young clubhouse that has only come of age since his arrival. He was a positive influence on slick-fielding shortstop Alcides Escobar and several other Latino players who occupied his corner of the Kansas City clubhouse.

“I learned a lot from Omar,” Escobar said.

Infante, who was not in the clubhouse Wednesday, spent his first six seasons in Detroit.

He later played for the Braves, earning an All-Star nod with them in 2010, and briefly spent time in Miami before returning to the Tigers for parts of two more seasons.

But after signing with Kansas City, the career .271 hitter began a slow and sometimes uncomfortable decline, his bat speed and fielding ability no longer what it was in his prime.

He hit only eight homers with the Royals, two fewer than his final season with Detroit. He also struggled to hit for average and drive in runs, and that ultimately counted for more than his leadership.

PHIL MICKELSON HITS ON THE RANGE WHILE PRACTICING for the U.S. Open on Wednesday at Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pa.

Mickelson keeps chasing elusive U.S. Open Oakmont, Pa. — One year before Jordan Spieth was born, Phil Mickelson made his professional debut with a 68 in the 1992 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach and was two shots out of the lead. The next day, he shot 81 and missed the cut.

All these years later, Mickelson is still chasing the one major he thought he would have won by now.

He turns 46 today when the U.S. Open returns to Oakmont for the ninth time, and that only adds to the urgency. No one that old has ever won the U.S. Open. Only three players that old have won a major — Julius Boros, Jack Nicklaus and Old Tom Morris.

But the only time Mickelson showed his age is when he flew home to San Diego for the eighth-grade graduation of daughter Sophia.

“It’s just important for me to be there for that stuff,” Mickelson said Wednesday. “At 46 years old now, come tomorrow, those are the difference that I’ll have, where a lot of the young guys in their 20s don’t really have to think about it yet. But it’s also brought me some of the greatest joy in my life.”

The U.S. Open? Not so much.

His six runner-up finishes are a record. His double bogey on the 72nd hole at Winged Foot is the one moment that still eats at him. And it’s hard for him to ignore the significance of winning a U.S. Open, which is all that keeps him from the career Grand Slam.

“I could BS you and tell you I don’t think about it,” he said. “No, I think about it all the time. This is the tournament I want to win the most to complete the four majors. There’s no question. I have to put that out of my head and try to execute and be patient and not think about results.

“You start thinking about results, you’ll never play your best golf.”

Oakmont is enough to grab everyone’s attention. Reputed to be the toughest golf course in America, it has all the traditional elements required for the major billed as the toughest test in golf — tight fairways, thick rough, punishing bunkers, fast greens.

The only hope was from the weather, with thunderstorms in the forecast for the first few days.

“Rain or no rain on this golf course, it’s still a very, very hard test of golf,” Rory McIlroy said.

Adam Scott showed up at Oakmont a week ago to prepare and played in firm, fast conditions. It rained that night, and he returned for a practice round with McIlroy and found a more forgiving course.

“Both of us probably made five or six birdies each that day,” Scott said.

If anything makes Mickelson feel relaxed going into this U.S. Open, it might be what has

transpired off the golf course. He was named in a federal complaint that accused Las Vegas gambler Billy Walters and a former board member of Dean Foods Co. of making tens of millions of dollars in illicit stock trades.

The government claimed Mickelson only benefited from the misdeeds of others and did not charge him. He agreed to repay the $931,000 he made in a single trade of Dean Foods in the summer of 2012.

Since then, Mickelson played well at Memorial and was runner-up last week at the St. Jude Classic, which he hopes will give him momentum going into Oakmont.

A coincidence? Maybe.

“It might have something to do with the fact that it’s behind me that I’ve played well the last two weeks, and I feel like I’m playing stressfree and much better golf,” he said. “That might have something to do with it. I don’t know. But I’m excited that it’s behind me. I’m excited I’m at one of my great opportunities.

“I view this week as a great opportunity to complete something that would be historic in my mind in a career.”

Mickelson doesn’t mind the difficulty of Oakmont, even though he hasn’t done well in his two previous U.S. Opens here. He finished 18 shots out of the lead in 1994 and missed the cut in 2007 when he played with a bone bruise from chipping too much out of the rough during a scouting trip to Oakmont.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Baylor allegations mount Waco, Texas — Three more women filed a federal civil-rights lawsuit against Baylor University on Wednesday, saying the school did nothing to help them after they reported being sexually assaulted on or near campus.

The Baptist school in Waco, Texas, has come under intense criticism for mishandling allegations of sexual assault over several years, including cases involving football players. In recent weeks, university president and chancellor Ken Starr was demoted and head football coach Art Briles was fired.

Already, Baylor is trying to settle a similar lawsuit filed by former student who was attacked by former football player Tevin Elliott in 2012. Elliott is one of two former Baylor football players convicted of sexual assault since 2014.

The lawsuit filed Wednesday lists three “Jane Doe” plaintiffs who allege they were attacked by fellow students on or near campus in 2004, 2013 and 2014. None of the alleged assailants are identified, but the woman in the 2014 case alleges the attacker was a football player.

(12 points) on the wing, Jackson recovered, and, while the campers behind him oohed and ahhed about Graham’s move, Jackson (19 points on 9-of13 shooting) rose up and blocked a Graham jumper. n A couple of possessions later, Graham scooped up a loose ball and seemed to have a break-away layup, but Jackson ran him down and blocked the bunny. n Azubuike, who stood out most for his signature pain-inflicting slam dunks at the rim, also showed hustle, blocking a Lagerald Vick (23 points) shot in the paint and fighting through two players to corral the rebound. n It wasn’t just highlights that showed off this group’s competitive nature. On a drive

by Graham to the rim, Jackson slapped down and was whistled for a meaningless foul. His reaction? “Noooooo.” n In the second half, Azubuike (26 points on 13-of-15 shooting) showed his tenacity by trying to wrestle a rebound away from his own blue-team teammate, Carlton Bragg Jr. (22 points), after a missed jumper. Bragg got the board initially but missed his follow attempt, and Azubuike cleaned up the rest. n Lightfoot (four points), though less involved than he was at last week’s scrimmage, had a couple of standout moments as well. By far his best came after a turnover, when he made up for it by blocking a shot by Azubuike and then hustling it down before it sailed out of bounds.

Those were just a few of the highlights from this young trio Wednesday, and while they may not wow you to the same degree as Frank Mason III’s self-assisted dunk off the backboard or Graham’s flashy ball-handling, all of those plays went down as significant.

No matter where, it’s not easy for a group of firstyear players to come in and not only compete against established returning stars but also against some of a program’s best-known alumni who made their names on hustle, hard work and heart. In this case, those names included Brady Morningstar, Travis Releford, Elijah Johnson and Kevin Young. And the performance turned in by KU’s youngest guns did not go unnoticed.

“Coach Self likes for young guys to come in and be aggressive,” said Releford, who added that while playing overseas he still tried to catch every KU game he could on TV. “So that’s what we tell ’em.

Go out there and compete because we’re gonna go right at ’em, too.”

Added Young: “Last week, coach talked to them about how competitive he wanted these games, and I think they came out and did a good job of attacking. So far, they’ve done that really well.”

There’s little desire for style points with this group. They want to play.

And it seems as if they already have figured out the fastest path to spending more time between the lines and less time watching with Self. The question will be how well they can sustain it to earn their head coach’s trust.

Royals complete sweep, 9-4 Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The Kansas City Royals won six straight games to take the AL Central lead, then dropped eight straight to lose it.

Now, they’re riding another five-game winning streak.

“Yeah, to say we’re streaky — it’s kind of crazy how it’s going,” said Ian Kennedy, who pitched Kansas City to a 9-4 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday night to polish off a threegame sweep.

The Royals have won nine straight at home, their best stretch since 2003.

Salvador Perez hit a three-run shot during a goahead fifth inning against Corey Kluber (6-7), while Eric Hosmer added two RBIs, and Whit Merrifield remained hot to pace the Kansas City attack.

THE ROYALS’ ERIC HOSMER (35) CONGRATULATES TEAMMATE SALVADOR PEREZ after Perez hit a three-run home run during the fifth inning of the Royals’ 9-4 victory over Cleveland on Wednesday in Kansas City, Mo. early,” Hosmer said. “We took advantage of getting a lot of guys on base.”

Kennedy (5-5) allowed just five hits, including two-run homers by Rajai Davis and Michael Martinez, as he pitched into the seventh inning. He won for

the first time since beating Cleveland on May 7.

Even with the two long balls, the Indians only managed seven runs the entire series.

Kluber gave up more than that in five innings Wednesday night. The

2014 Cy Young winner matched a career high by allowing eight runs and nine hits in a performance nearly as shoddy as his defense, which made two errors and probably could have been charged with a couple more.

“Yeah, to get swept is disappointing,” Kluber said. “We didn’t play very well these three games.”

Merrifield, who homered in each of the first two games, got the Royals going again with a base hit in the first inning. Consecutive doubles by Hosmer and Lorenzo Cain gave Kansas City a 2-0 lead.

Kluber also ran into trouble in the second inning, though it was caused by consecutive errors by second baseman Jason Kipnis and third baseman Martinez.

“He’s tough,” Royals manager Ned Yost said.

“He’s just tough.”

Azubuike Wednesday. Most came off dunks, making some wonder how the rims were able to withstand such force.

Has Azubuike ever brought down a backboard?

“Oh, yes, yes, several times,” Azubuike said.

Of his most spectacular slam, the one in which he showed off nifty ball-handling skills, the McDonald’s All-American said: “It’s something I’ve been practicing. I did it in high school sometimes. I’m really trying to show off my point-guard skills a little bit.”

He was only kidding — something KU coach Self does not do when discussing the powerful player’s potential.

“He is probably as athletic off two feet as any big guy I’ve ever had,” Self said in introducing Azubuike to campers Friday at Self’s parent/child camp. “He could go down … Jo Jo (Embiid) was unreal … but Udoka could go down as the best big man Kansas has seen in many, many, many, many years.”

Self has said the same thing to Azubuike, who

turns 17 on Sept. 17, many times.

“We have coach Bill Self trying to get on me, trying to put it on me,” Azubuike said of one of the reasons he looked so much more comfortable in Wednesday’s campers game than last week’s game — one in which he had eight points.

“As time goes by, I’ll be good. Coach keeps telling me all the time I’m probably one of the best young kids he ever recruited. He gets on me to try to work hard to get better so I’ll be a monster on the post.”

There’s that word — monster — again, though Azubuike recalls a different high school nickname.

“In high school, that’s what they used to call me: ‘Baby Shaq. Big Shaq,’” Azubuike said, drawing comparisons to Shaquille O’Neal. “I mean, it’s just a name people call me. I love it. I’ve seen videos of him and highlights. I see a little bit of me in him.”

Like former NBA phenom O’Neal, Azubuike might pick and choose some spots to flex to his fans, as he did to the campers’ delight Wednesday.

“I mean, it’s something I do all the time, something to make my team (excited),” Azubuike said.

“Everybody else says that,” Azubuike said, smiling. “Sometimes he tries to guard me. He sees I’m too strong for him, so he tries to go to the perimeter. It’s been fun so far.”

And fun watching him.

“He’s a beast, a monster,” Vick reiterated.

“He’s a strong guy and so young. It’s a long process, but he’s learning fast. I never thought he was going to be that athletic. He showed something today with the little ball-handling cross-over. I was amazed at that.”

The player who arrived in the U.S. as a freshman in high school still has work to do.

“Getting in shape more, trying to work on my lefthanded hook shot,” he said of summertime goals.

“Just keep improving my post move, be quicker, try to do all things better.

“I want to be successful in everything I do,” he added. “I take it as part of me to get better.”

He’s mature at such a young age, adapting quickly to college.

“My surroundings. My friends are back home,” he said. “You have time differences here. In high school, I can do whatever I want to. Now I’ve got to go to weightlifting, go to class. It’s been set times.

That’s been a difference.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Sale earns 11th victory The Associated Press

American League White Sox 5, Tigers 3 Chicago — Chris Sale allowed three runs in seven innings to become the first 11-game winner in the majors, leading Chicago over Detroit on Wednesday night.

Rookie Tim Anderson had three hits and three runs scored, and Todd Frazier drove in the goahead run as Chicago won two of three in the series between AL Central rivals.

Sale (11-2) was 1-2 with a 6.75 ERA in his last four starts after beginning the season by winning his first nine. He survived a shaky third inning in which he allowed all three runs and five of the six hits he surrendered.

BRIEFLY KU swimming earns honor

Kansas’ Tinsley on regional team

Kansas University’s swimming and diving team earned its 28th consecutive Scholar AllAmerica Team recognition from the College Swimming Coaches Association of America, the CSCAA announced Wednesday.

To be selected as a CSCAA Scholar All-America Team, programs must have achieved a grade point average of 3.00 or higher over the spring semester.

Kansas combined for a team GPA of 3.27 and has had a 3.0 or better in each semester under 14-year coach Clark Campbell.

Kansas University junior catcher Michael Tinsley was named to the ABCA/ Rawling All-Midwest Region Second Team.

Tinsley was selected in the seventh round of the Major League Baseball Draft by the Cleveland Indians — the 26th Jayhawk to be picked in the top 10 rounds and the highest draft pick among catchers all-time at KU. He posted the best single-season batting average at KU since 2010 with a .377 (80-for-212); led the Big 12 in average and in hits (80); and ranked third in runs scored (47), and seventh in RBIs (42).
