andy Billinger knows of many reasons why horse lovers should consider adopting wild mustangs from the Bureau of Land Management. The animals are beautiful, have few flaws from inbreeding, possess strong hooves and have excellent feet suited for many uses, Billinger said. But he said the emotional high that comes with gaining a wild horse or burro’s trust is the greatest reward. “There’s just no experience like that first touch when the animal finally accepts you,” he said. “I’ve seen a lot of people tear up when they tell me about it. It’s a pretty amazing thing.” Area residents will have the opportunity to acquire living symbols of the Old West from noon to 6 p.m. Friday and 8 to 10 a.m. Saturday at the Leavenworth County Please see ICON, page 4A

A MUSTANG NAMED ESTRELLA COMES UP TO GREET BILLINGER on Wednesday along the fence line of his ranch southeast of Baldwin City. Billinger and his wife, Kristi, have been adopting and “gentling” horses since 2000 and are founders of the Midwest Mustang & Burro Saddle Club, where they help other adopters by teaching them successful techniques for calming animals.

Topeka — Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration ordered several last-minute emergency financial adjustments Wednesday, including partial delayed payments to school districts this month, to prevent the state from ending this fiscal year in the red on June 30. At the same time, Brownback and legislative leaders met as the State Finance Council to approve temporarily borrowing a re- LEGISLATURE cord $900 million from state idle funds in order to maintain positive cash balances throughout the next fiscal year. That’s $60 million more than the state borrowed this year. Budget Director Shawn Sullivan announced at the meeting that so far in June, revenues have not been coming in as expected, and a shortfall this month will add to the estimated $45 million budget hole caused by earlier shortfalls in April and May. And with only eight days left in the fiscal year, he said, it is virtually impossible to make up that shortfall by ordering more spending cuts.

LAWRENCE • STATE

Lawmakers: Schools deal close Topeka (ap) — Key Republican legislators said Wednesday that they’re close to an agreement with Kansas educators on a $38 million plan aimed at keeping public schools open and satisfying a court mandate to help poor districts. Senate Ways and Means Committee Chairman Ty Masterson and House Appropriations Committee Chairman Ron Ryckman Jr. said the proposal is likely to shift existing state dollars to poor districts. But an attorney representing four districts suing the state over education funding questioned whether the Kansas Supreme Court would accept such a plan. The Republican-dominated Legislature convenes today for a special session called by GOP Gov. Sam Brownback to address a Supreme Court ruling last month. The justices said the state’s education funding system remains unfair to poor school districts and warned that schools might not reopen after June 30

if lawmakers don’t make further changes. Masterson, from Andover, and Ryckman, from Olathe, have been negotiating this week with multiple school superintendents. Their districts include Wichita and Kansas City, Kansas, two of the four suing the state. They also include the Blue Valley, Olathe and Shawnee Mission districts in Johnson County, which stand to lose state funds. “The schools are coming to the table, and so is the Legislature, to find a solution to keep schools open,” Masterson said. Ryckman and Masterson hadn’t released the details of their plan as of late Wednesday afternoon, suggesting talks were not quite finished. “I’ve got a lot of calls to get back to,” Ryckman said. The state spends more than $4 billion a year on aid to its 286 school districts, and Brownback is pushing a plan to boost the total by $38 million to help poor districts. The idea has bipar-

tisan support, but with the state facing ongoing budget problems, a key issue is paying for it. Democratic leaders have suggested redirecting unused funds set aside for public schools’ online courses and tapping a special fund for districts’ emergency needs, such as large year-to-year increases in student numbers. Republicans also have talked about both as sources. Brownback declined to comment on the emerging plan. “The Legislature needs to work, work those things, as much as they can, and they will,” Brownback said. The state has been in and out of legal battles over education funding for decades, and the latest lawsuit was filed in 2010 by the Dodge City, Hutchinson, Wichita and Kansas City, Kansas, districts. The Supreme Court has issued multiple rulings, and legislators have rewritten school finance laws three times in three years, most recently in March. dition for their voting yes on any formula change. Constitutional amendments require passage by two-thirds of the members of both chambers, which is a steep hill to climb in the sharply divided Legislature. After that, it would have to be approved by a simple majority of voters in a statewide election, most likely the upcoming Nov. 8 general election.

Options for court If lawmakers choose to do nothing, or if what they do in the next week fails, in the court’s opinion, to cure the tax inequities, the court has at least a couple of options at its disposal. The one that most people fear is that it could issue an order blocking the expenditure of any funds under an unconstitutional formula, effectively shutting down the Kansas public school system on July 1. In its May 27 opinion, the court said, “without a constitutionally equitable school finance system, the schools in Kansas will be unable to operate.” But it also suggested another option. In the concluding paragraph, the court said it was continuing to stay the “broad remedial orders” of the three-judge trial court panel. That would involve striking out all of the changes to the formula lawmakers have made in the last two years, effectively putting the old formula back in place, and then ordering the state treasurer and other officials to disburse those funds accordingly, a move that many lawmakers might take as an even more egregious usurping of legislative authority. — This is an excerpt from Peter Hancock’s Statehouse Live column, which appears on LJWorld.com.

County approves wind energy rules By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

Douglas County now has regulations in place for wind energy towers, but no active applications for permits to install them. That is the exact opposite of the situation the county faced in November 2013, when NextEra Energy sought permits to install two wind measurement towers in southern Douglas County. That application and public concerns prompted a twoand-a-half year in-house county effort to provide for the regulation of wind energy towers. After a public hearing Wednesday, the County Commission approved a text amendment that would allow large commercial wind energy towers to be considered under the county’s conditional use permit process. Under the measure, wind towers producing 50 kilowatts or less for personal or small com-

Broken glass at KU’s DeBruce Center was likely flawed, official says Heard on the Hill

Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

y Tuesday story on LJWorld.com about the broken glass pane at Kansas University’s new DeBruce Center being attributed to shifting seems to have caused some alarm. KU Memorial Union and construction people felt like a more scientific explanation was needed. Here goes. The building isn’t

sinking and falling down (which certainly would be alarming), but rather the breakage probably resulted from expansions and contractions on a much more minute level. Lisa Kring, KU Memorial Unions director of building services, said a flaw in the glass is the likely culprit. In the glass world this kind of failure is referred

to as “spontaneous glass breakage,” though technically there is a cause. According to a couple articles that I read, such shattering for no apparent reason can stem from a tiny (smaller than a tenth of a millimeter) flaw in the glass called a nickel sulfide inclusion. Please see GLASS, page 4A

Convicted sex offender arrested after police say he abused girl By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

A registered sex offender is in jail once more after police said he sexually abused a girl. Ronald Eugene Throne II, 30, of Lawrence, was arrested May 30 and faces felony charges of aggravated indecent liberties with a child, electronic solicitation and indecent solicitation of a child. In 2006 Throne was convicted of two felony counts of ag-

gravated indecent solicitation of an 11-year-old child in Crawford County, according to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation’s offender Throne registry. On May 30, Lawrence police received a report that Throne sent a sexually explicit video to a 15-year-old girl, according to an arrest af-

fidavit filed in Douglas County District Court. Throne is a an adult acquaintance of the girl’s family, the affidavit states. An arrest affidavit is a sworn document filed by police supporting their decision to make an arrest. Accusations within an affidavit must still be proven in court. After the initial report, police spoke to the girl, who told them Throne had molested her. Throne knew the girl was underage because she told him, the

affidavit said. In addition, he attended her 15th birthday party. On May 26, according to the affidavit, Throne inappropriately touched the girl, sent her text messages asking for sex and sent a sexually explicit video. After the incidents were reported, Throne was interviewed by police officers. At first he denied any inappropriate activity with the girl, but later admitted to both touching her and sending the explicit

messages, according to the affidavit. Throne was arrested and booked into the Douglas County Jail, where he is being held in lieu of a $30,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 12 at 3 p.m. for a preliminary hearing, at which the court will decide whether there is enough evidence to order him to stand trial. — Public safety reporter Conrad Swanson can be reached at cswanson@ljworld.com or 832-7144.

Yields mixed, prices low as wheat harvest begins Glass

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

Gary Laughlin began harvesting his wheat crop Sunday night, and overall the yield was not as high as he had hoped. Tuesday morning Laughlin, who farms 21 acres south of Baldwin City, said his harvest turned out between 35 and 40 bushels of wheat per acre, a low number possibly brought on by recent rainfall. “Wheat don’t like rain,” he said. “And we’ve had all kinds of rain.” Other farmers have turned out larger yields, Laughlin said, but on the whole it may be too early to tell what the harvest season will produce. “Some of them are claiming they’re making 50, 60 bushels,”

he said. “Some of them have been making 80 bushels an acre out west. There haven’t been many people cutting out here. I’m sure others will be making more than I did.” Mark Easton, manager of the Ottawa Coop’s Overbrook location, said it’s too early in the harvest for solid yield numbers, but the prices per bushel are low. Currently hard red winter wheat is priced at $3.91 per bushel and soft wheat is priced at $4.18 per bushel, Easton said. “That’s low,” he said. “Nobody wants four-dollar wheat; they’d like to have a lot more than that.” As the harvest continues, Easton said he’ll begin to get a better idea of this year’s yields. — Reporter Conrad Swanson can be reached at cswanson@ljworld.com or 832-7144.

GARY LAUGHLIN HARVESTS HIS WHEAT CROP south of Baldwin City on Monday. Laughlin said his yield for this year was between 35 and 40 bushels of wheat per acre, less than he had hoped.

Rep. Jenkins blasts Obama on Gitmo tion to Obama’s efforts to close the detention facility that houses suspected “enemy combatants” captured in other countries. Joining her on the trip were State Sen. Steve Fitzgerald and State Reps. Tony Barton and Willie Dove, all Republicans who represent parts of Leavenworth County. Also on the trip was Leavenworth Mayor Larry Dedeke and Leavenworth County officials. The group flew to Guantanamo Bay on June 17 and returned later that same day. Although the White House recently backed off of its plans to close the detention facility by executive order, Jenkins said the trip was still im-

portant to ensure that neither the Obama administration nor the next administration tries to reconsider. “And now they have more information and the tools they need in the event that they need to pursue legal action at some point down the road to prevent detainees from being transferred to Leavenworth,” Jenkins said. “As we’ve seen before, it is not unlike this president to say one thing and do another.” As recently as February, Obama had asked Congress to approve a plan to close the detention facility and transfer the remaining 91 prisoners there, either to other countries or to prisons located inside the United States. The U.S. military pris-

on at Fort Leavenworth has been identified as one potential site for relocating detainees. But that plan drew little or no support from Congress where both the House and Senate voted last week to block any such move, and the White House has since backed away from the plan. Jenkins, however, said she remains suspicious of the president. “As you know, we’ve gotten language every year passed to prevent the transfer, but that may not have been enough to help us sleep at night because the president has broken the law in other areas, and so we just continue to keep a close eye,” she said.

The absence of active applications appears to have taken the wind out of public concern on the issue. Only a handful of county residents attended Wednesday’s public hearing. The comments of the two speakers at the hearing concerned the need for applicants to file for Federal Aviation Administration approval to construct a tower and for proper aviation lighting on towers 100 feet or more in height. Language regarding both issues was added to the text amendment. With the commission’s approval of the measure, Flory, who had characterized wind towers as “monstrosities” when the amendment was first introduced in February, expressed satisfaction with the protection the measure gave county residents. “I’ve been told (wind towers) are majestic, but my feeling is that how majestic they are is rela-

tive to how close they are to your front porch,” he said. “I stand as a reluctant supporter, depending on where they are.” In other business, commissioners approved: l An employee longevity program that will give those with five years or more of county employment an annual $50-peryear bonus. The program is to start in 2017, but commissioners expressed hope money could be found to reward employees this year. It was stated future commissions might have to adjust the $50 bonus amount because of budgetary issues. l A measure that forbids the placement of political signs within 20 feet of the edge of a roadway or 300 feet of an intersection. The resolution allows signs 45 days before an election. They must be removed two days after an election.

Topeka — Republican Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins continued to blast President Barack Obama this week over efforts he has now abandoned to close the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Speaking with reporters on a conference call Tuesday, Jenkins Jenkins highlighted her recent trip to Guantanamo Bay naval base and reiterated her opposition to the Obama administration’s attempts to close the facility.

the county’s authority to expand protest petition rights beyond that required by state statute, which gives those owners of property within 1,500 feet of a parcel on which a tower was proposed the right to participate in a protest petition. Flory also suggested that protest boundary extend to a mile, which is the distance at which the text amendment requires neighbors be notified of an application. But during Wednesday’s discussion, Flory agreed that the 1,500-foot protest boundary included in the updated text amendment was the right way to go. A larger area would dilute a protest petition’s effectiveness by making it more difficult to get the required signatures of 20 percent of property owners, he said.

BRIEFLY 103-degree high sets Lawrence record

The 103-degree temperature recorded Wednesday afternoon at the Lawrence Municipal Airport established a record for June 22. Emily Heller, of the National Weather Service in Topeka, said Wednesday’s high temperature broke the record of 97 degrees, which was established in 2009. She noted, however, that temperature records for Lawrence only extend back to 1996. The good news is the heat had been forecast to back off with the passage late Wednesday of a front through northeast Kansas, Heller said. Today’s temperatures should top out in the lower 90s, and thermometers are not — Statehouse reporter Peter Hancock expected to climb above can be reached at 354-4222 or the mid-90s through the phancock@ljworld.com. next week.

On Thursday, two weeks after that update, Letchinger said the solution was not ready. The city confirmed Thursday developers had not submitted an application to the city about the additional parking. “We’re not quite there yet. We’re getting close,” Letchinger said. Originally, an automated parking garage was planned to hold enough cars for the 624-bedroom development. When the company hired to operate the garage filed for bankruptcy last fall, developers switched to a human valet system, though it won’t be able to park as many vehicles. The City Commission approved the valet sys— County reporter Elvyn Jones can tem in April.

When people call, we go out and work with them on safe and gentle techniques to gentle a horse without harsh methods.” Those cases are the exception, Billinger said. “Most people understand that just like domesticated horses, you have to have the time and space,” he said. “Most people are honest and follow through with their commitments.” The animal’s temperament plays into how long it takes to “gentle” a mustang or burro, but Billinger said the biggest factor was the handler’s ability to give the time to work with an animal with the proper training techniques. The old cowboy bronco-busting method of horse training has been replaced with techniques that gradually build the horse’s trust in its handler. Billinger says he uses a method that initially employs a 10-foot bamboo pole to

Commissioners stipulated that developers would not receive tax rebates from the city until they secure the total number of parking spaces required to fill the entire development.

touch and scratch the horse. “It can take a few weeks to several months to get a halter on a horse and lead it around by getting pressure on the lead rope,” he said. “With our burro Bernie, I had him so I could go up and put a halter on him in two days.” He and his wife gained some fame in 2002 from their Kiger mustangs when the DreamWorks movie “Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron” was released. They were featured in several news stories on the mustang sub-breed the BLM discovered in 1977 in southeast Oregon. “We were the first to bring Kiger mustangs to Kansas,” he said. “A big draw is their American heritage. They are a beautiful animal.” That’s true of all wild mustangs, Billinger said. Since the BLM started the adoption program, people have found the

The impurity can weaken the glass enough to make it susceptible to even slight pressures that wouldn’t affect a pane of glass without such an imperfection. Bob Rombach of KU Design and Construction Management, the special project manager for DeBruce, said such pressures could include expansion or contraction due to heat, or even one of the bolts holding the pane in place being a little bit too tight. “The reason why it failed is a little bit of a mystery,” Rombach said. “Every once in a while one of them will fail. It’s covered under warranty, and it gets replaced.” Rombach said the panel broke about a week ago and that it was removed Wednesday morning. Each panel is double-paned, so there’s still one pane of intact glass in the space. Since each panel is custom made, it will take nine weeks or more to get a new one shipped and put in. Rombach said they followed the same process for the other panel that shattered, during the building’s construction. As for other buildings on campus with the same type of glass, Rombach said he was unaware of any. While sketches for the new Central District student union and integrated science buildings show buildings with large sections of glass, Rombach said it’s highly unlikely they’ll use the same fancy glass, from a company called Novum, and “structural glazing” installation system as the DeBruce Center — which makes it look like a glass box instead of just a building with big glass windows. “The donor wanted a very special Kauffman Center (for the Performing Arts), museum-level of construction,” Rombach said. “It’s high-end stuff.” The $21.7 million DeBruce Center, all donorfunded, opened in April at 1647 Naismith Drive, connected to Allen Fieldhouse. The building houses James Naismith’s original rules of “Basket Ball.” I did call J.E. Dunn Construction Co., which built the Kauffman Center, to ask if they’d had breakage problems with the all-glass portion of the building. A company spokeswoman said a small percentage of glass failure due to nickel sulfide inclusion is expected, but that the Kauffman Center has had only a couple panels break since construction was completed in 2011. — This is an excerpt from Sara Shepherd’s Heard on the Hill column, which appears on LJWorld.com.

horses excel in endurance competition events, endurance trail riding and any number of competitive disciplines from barrel racing to top-level dressage events, he said. “They make wonderful ranch horses,” he said. “They have such good feet for working with cattle. A lot of military people are using mustangs for color guards. One of the horses pulling Ronald Reagan’s casket in Arlington National Cemetery was a mustang.” Burros also have practical uses, Cowan said. Many people place a pair of them in pastures to protect cattle or sheep, but they also have a less functional appeal, she said. “It’s their personalities,” she said. “They have such great individual character.” — County reporter Elvyn Jones can be reached at 832-7166 or ejones@ ljworld.com.

Political difference drives teen, grandma apart Dear Annie: How do I tell my 91-year-old mother to stop posting political messages on my 16-year-old daughter’s Facebook page, especially when Mom supports Donald Trump and knows that my daughter supports Bernie Sanders? My daughter just turned 16, and is very shy and introverted. She’s only just starting to find her voice online and has taken an interest in politics only recently. She is a big supporter of Sanders and advocates for the rights of the LGBTQ community on her Facebook page (along with cute dog and cat videos). But my mother comments on her page with support for Trump. It has turned my daughter off so much that she is reluctant to visit Grandma. And when

to teach your child that disagreeing with someone doesn’t mean you cannot love and tolerate them — especially a 91-year-old grandparent. She doesn’t need to talk about the election with Grandma, and if the subject comes up, she can say that she’d prefer to discuss more pleasant things. It’s OK to agree to disagree, especially about politics, without becoming angry and disrespectful. Frankly, we wish more people would take this lesson to heart.

BBC delivers a powerful new mystery The second series in as many nights to echo ABC’s just canceled “The Family,” the U.K. import “Thirteen” (9 p.m., BBC America, TV-14) presents a powerful and emotionally unsettling mystery. Like “The Family,” it’s an abduction story that only begins with the end of captivity. “Thirteen” opens with Ivy Moxam (Jodie Comer), a filthy and disheveled woman, seen running through the streets. Her escape and surrender to the police sparks a media frenzy and an emotional storm for her family. Abducted when she was 13 and held in a basement for as many years, this 26-year-old stranger’s arrival forces her now-separated parents (Natasha Little and Stuart Graham) to pretend that their marriage is still intact. Ivy’s sister Emma (Katherine Rose Morley), only 11 when she disappeared, still has doubts that this newcomer is really her sister and worries that her arrival will upset her wedding plans. Emma’s skepticism is matched by the detectives investigating her case and tracking the movements of her abductor. Is Ivy suffering from Stockholm syndrome and secretly sympathizing with her captor? Or is she even more complicit? New evidence implicates Ivy’s circle of friends, teachers and administrators in rather suspicious activity in the days leading up to her disappearance. As on “Broadchurch,” almost every character has something to hide and every performance is marked with remarkable emotional honesty. O Television is experiencing a female crime wave. First, Ellen Barkin starred in TNT’s “Animal Kingdom.” Now “Queen of the South” (9 p.m., USA, TV-14) features Alice Braga as Teresa Mendoza, a low-level moneychanger who climbs to the top of a bloody Mexican drug cartel. Filled with plenty of violence and gunplay, not to mention smoldering glances between lovers and gang rivals, “Queen” marks another departure from USA’s happy “blue skies” programming philosophy. It’s further proof that men have no monopoly on macho behavior. Tonight’s other highlights

In the loop It’s good to see the city taking another step toward completing the Lawrence Loop recreational trail.

Sunflower Foundation grant that will help pay for a new trail northwest of Rock Chalk Park is welcome news for Lawrence. The grant will pay up to $110,000 of the cost of the project, and the city has agreed to match that amount. The remaining $55,000 of the estimated $275,000 cost of the trail will come from a Kansas Department of Transportation Federal Fund Exchange Program. The project will build about 4,100 feet of concrete trail that will link the trail that runs along the South Lawrence Trafficway Trail with the Baldwin Creek Trail, which is under construction north of Rock Chalk Park. When the projects are complete, the city will have a 15-mile concrete-paved recreational path. The longer term goal is to complete the “Lawrence Loop,” a 22-mile recreational path around Lawrence. The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department has led the effort to complete the loop as a way to encourage healthy physical activity among local residents. Thirteen miles of that loop have been completed and another four miles are under construction. The Rock Chalk Park Trail would put the project a little closer to filling about 5.4 miles of remaining gaps in the proposed loop. Parts of the loop run through or close to residential areas while others are on the outskirts of town — for now — but as the city grows, the loop likely will become more engulfed by residential or commercial development. When that happens, Lawrence residents will be even more appreciative of the planning that has gone into the recreational trail. From the city’s founding, Lawrence residents have had the foresight to set aside land for parks and recreation where people can gather to participate in various activities or just enjoy sitting under the shade of a tree. The Rock Chalk Park Trail and eventually the Lawrence Loop will be a great addition to the city’s recreational offerings.

Shaky EU needs major overhaul Washington — Imagine a young Margaret Thatcher, a politician who deeply mistrusts the political establishment and identifies on a gut level with the frustrations of the middle class. That’s shorthand for what Britain will need as it picks up the pieces after today’s “Brexit” referendum. Friends of Britain (and Europe, too) need to stop pretending that support for withdrawal from the European Union is simply a product of xenophobic right-wing nationalism. Nearly half the country supports a British exit, according to pre-referendum polls, and these people are not all deluded reactionaries. The European Union is unpopular in Britain for the same reason it is in many other parts of Europe: It’s seen as the project of a financial and political elite that often operates without regard for public sentiment. Nationalism may be a tarnished, retrograde sentiment, but the fact remains that many people feel deeply attached to their countries. This patriotic feeling can’t be expunged. But it should be modernized. And that’s where a modern Maggie could do wonders. Think of a restless, mildly rebellious British politician who could find common cause with like-minded Europeans who are tired of being lectured by Brussels. Thatcher took a wrecking ball to an earlier generation of entrenched, elite opinion in Britain. When

“

EU purists may still dream of a tighter federalism, but that would involve a surrender of national power that nobody, least of all the Germans or French, really wants.” she became prime minister in 1979, Britain was still encased in a class system that maintained the conservative status quo at both ends — the power of the aristocratic Tory elite and the Labour Party tradeunion bosses, who in tandem resisted any reforms that might challenge their power. Thatcher, a grocer’s daughter, despised this status quo. She defied a bitter 1983-84 strike by the National Union of Mineworkers where previous prime ministers, Labour and Tory, had caved. She deregulated the financial sector, in what was called the “Big Bang,” restoring the City of London to global primacy. Britain in recent years has seemed to be slipping backward. David Cameron,

the conservative leader, is an Old Etonian who, in form and function, is a latter-day embodiment of the Tory elite. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, similarly, is a throwback to the left-wing, union-cosseted yesterday of his party. The most hopeful aspect of the Brexit debate is that most young British people seem to be instinctively European. They have grown up in a global economy where people move from job to job and country to country. A June 13 poll by ICM for the Guardian found that 56 percent of voters aged 18 to 34 want to remain in the EU, while just 39 percent favor leaving. By contrast, 55 percent of those over 65 favor withdrawal. Other surveys make the same point: The older people get in Britain, the more they mistrust the EU. That’s the biggest danger of the pro-Brexit campaign, beyond the economic damage it has risked. It would tie the country’s future to the oldest, most conservative cohort of its population. The EU leadership in Brussels deserves its bad reputation. Lacking the instruments of real governance, the Eurocrats have nibbled around the edges with rules and regulations that imply a common destiny but leave to others the hard questions, such as border security and fiscal discipline. Germany sits uneasily atop this shaky enterprise. The Germans are lucky to have a chancellor who, no

matter how wealthy and privileged her country may be, still acts like the Lutheran pastor’s daughter who was raised in East Germany. Asked once what was distinctive about Germany, she gave this sturdy, if unlikely, answer: “No other country can build such airtight and beautiful windows.” Her power comes in part from her ability to appear ordinary. Europe is only beginning its process of change. A senior German official told me a few months ago that the strange thing about the Brexit vote was that “the best case and the worst case are so close together.” What he meant was that Germany understands that Europe’s institutions must change, regardless of whether Britain is in or out. EU purists may still dream of a tighter federalism, but that would involve a surrender of national power that nobody, least of all the Germans or French, really wants. What’s more likely is a core EU that runs at German speed, and allows the periphery some of the leeway that Cameron won for Britain in the negotiation that preceded the wretched Brexit campaign. Rather than crying crocodile tears for the old version of the EU, modernizing politicians in Britain and on the continent should be thinking about change. It’s time for “Maggie redux.” Bring on the wrecking ball.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for June 23, 1916: years “With the final ago movement of the IN 1916 Kansas National Guard to Fort Riley today and the immediately expected entrainment for the Mexican border, 26 cities of Kansas were bereft of their soldiery. This condition has not been equaled in the state since the Spanish-American war. However, steps to fill the places left by the departure of the present Guard will be taken immediately.... As soon as the work of transferring the present guardsmen to federal service is completed, activity of recruiting a new Guard will be rushed. By nightfall the entire Kansas militia is expected to be under camp at Fort Riley. Part of the Guard can be moved to the border as early as Sunday.” “The departure of the remaining Lawrence companies for Fort Riley was the magnet which drew upwards of three thousand people to the Union Pacific station this morning. The University company, Company M; the headquarters company, including the first regiment band and a detachment of mounted orderlies; and additional members of Company H, the supply company, and the medical detachment left this morning. Classes at the University were dismissed in honor of the departure of the K.U. boys, and a swarm of students swelled the ranks of townspeople who went to the train.... With flags waving and the band playing, the train pulled out of the station while the crowd cheered madly. The departure this morning was as enthusiastic and noisy as that of yesterday was tearful and quiet.... Then came the clanging of the engine bell, a sudden burst of music from the band, and the cheers of the crowd. The train moved forward slowly, gradually gathered speed, and rounded the bend out of sight. The last of the soldier companies had left Lawrence for whatever the future holds in store.”

Vote for sanity

Trump phenomenon

To the editor: I don’t know where to start! There are so many things about our clueless legislators that come to mind. 1. Bathroom rules. Transgender is an issue that is difficult for many of us to understand. However, I would love to see the face of Gov. Brownback if a Caitlyn (aka Bruce) Jenner-type person, with female attributes walks in, as required by law, when he is using the bathroom. Or Susan Wagle, when a transgender with mustache and beard comes in to use the bathroom while she is there, birth certificate in hand. How about the mother or father who cannot bring their 2-year-old child of the opposite sex with them into the bathroom and has to leave them in the hallway? 2. What do we, as health professionals do, when a victim of domestic violence is in the hospital and the spouse who beat them arrives with a loaded gun and threatens the patient? 3. How many programs that are beneficial to the poorest of our state, children, disabled and elderly are being cut to save the wealthy’s tax cuts? 4. How many roads will become rubble or bridges collapse due to deferred maintenance because of invasion of the state highway fund. Do not stand by and let the extremely radical legislators destroy our state! We should all be devastated at what our state has become! Get involved and vote for sanity! Joleen Bechtel, Lawrence

To the editor: My friend Ed White misses the point. I was not writing about Trump vs. Clinton, at least not directly. I was not even speaking of the independent justification for the different candidates. You cannot justify Trump by criticizing Clinton, or vice versa. Hillary Clinton cannot be justified as a candidate solely on the basis of Trump being a bad candidate, or person. The question remains whether either of them can be justified on their own terms. I did not see that Ed, whom I know to be a thoughtful and reasonable man, attempted to justify Trump. If he did, I would pay attention. His letter does not say that Mr. Trump is qualified to be president. But, like I say, I did not mean to speak on that. What I did mean to say was that Republican presumptive nominee Donald Trump is the aftermath of a tantrum. Trump is about what happens when you’re mad and scream something you don’t really mean. I think the Trump phenomenon is a protest against frustration. What I meant to invoke was what comes after a hissy fit. What do you do when you’ve painted yourself into a corner, and you know you’ve been wrong? Nominating Donald Trump is wrong. That’s when — Compiled by Sarah St. John pride gets in the way. What do you do when you’ve defunded government to the point it can’t pay for schools? What will Read more Old Home Town at we do? LJWorld.com/news/lawrence/ William Skepnek, history/old_home_town.

The Lawrence High School student who competed in the national Braille Challenge did not place in the top three of the tournament. LHS junior Luther Fuller competed in the 16th annual Braille Challenge over the weekend. After competing against more than 1,000 others in the regional competition in February, Fuller was among 50 students who qualified for the national contest. Fuller traveled to

the varsity age group. Cricket Bidleman, of San Diego, was awarded first place in the varsity division. Students competed in five categories as part of an all-day academic contest: reading comprehension, spelling, proofreading, chart and graph reading, and speed and accuracy. Brendy Latare, Fuller’s mother, said that exactly where he placed in the competition’s five categories has not yet been released.

House Dems stage sit-in in attempt to force gun vote, shout ‘Shame!’ as GOP takes back control of floor Donovan Slack and Deborah Barfield Berry USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Democratic lawmakers launched an extraordinary protest Wednesday, staging a sit-in on the House floor, bringing legislative business to a halt and triggering a chaotic, late-night showdown as they demanded a vote on gun control legislation. Led by Speaker Paul Ryan, RWis., who had called the dramatic protest simply a “publicity stunt,” Republicans took back control of the floor at 10 p.m. amid Democrat chants, nearly 11 hours after the sit-in began. Democrats shouted “Shame! Shame!” as House business proceeded and members cast votes on a measure unrelated to guns. Scores of House lawmakers took to the House floor before noon and refused to let Republicans resume regular business until the House votes on gun

LONDON A final, frenzied day of campaigning tried to sway voters ahead of Thursday’s referendum over whether the United Kingdom should remain in the European Union, as polls show a virtual dead heat on the contentious issue. British Prime Minister David Cameron, whose job may be on the line depending on the outcome, urged voters Wednesday to “please give it everything you’ve got in these last few hours. Go out and vote ‘remain’ ” in the 28-nation EU. Speaking on British radio, Cameron rejected the notion that the EU is in decline. “We are not shackled to a corpse,” he said. “You can see the European economy’s recovery.” Former London mayor Boris Johnson, the prime minister’s chief rival who backs a British exit from the EU, or “Brexit,” crisscrossed the country by helicopter to push support for leaving. “It’s time to speak up for democracy, and hundreds of millions of people around Europe agree with us,” Johnson said while touring London’s Billingsgate Fish Market. “It’s time to break away from the failing and dysfunctional EU system.” Dozens of leading British figures added their voices Wednesday to the “remain” camp, including James Bond actor Daniel Craig. He posted a photo on Instagram of him wearing a shirt that said: “No man is an island. No country by itself. Vote ‘remain’ on June 23.” If the U.K. votes Thursday to sever ties with the EU, it would be the first sovereign nation to leave the bloc. Polls close 5 p.m. ET Thursday (10 p.m. local time).

Surprise! First non-luxury car brand tops quality study Kia bucks reputation, zooms to top of poll Chris Woodyard @ChrisWoodyard USA TODAY

Kia, the upstart South Korean brand that spent years trying to overcome a reputation for shoddy cars, placed first Wednesday in one of the auto industry’s most closely watched quality surveys. It marked the first time in 27 years that a non-luxury brand has come in first in the J.D. Power and Associates Initial Quality

Study, which rates brands by the number of flaws found by owners in their cars in the first 90 days of ownership. Mainstream brands collectively had a cumulative higher quality score than all the luxury brands for the first time since 2006. In placing first out of 33 brands, Kia owners reported 83 problems per 100 cars, beating the industry average of 105. In winning, Kia moves up from second in the study last year. Kia executives in the USA expressed elation. “Ranking No. 1 in the entire industry for initial quality is the result of Kia’s decade-long focus on

craftsmanship and continuous improvement and reflects the voice of our customers, which is the ultimate affirmation,” Mi-

chael Sprague, chief operating officer for Kia Motors America, said in a statement. “As the highestranked brand in the industry, there is no doubt Kia is a worldclass automaker.” The annual survey points to big gains in the overall quality of vehicles. Twenty-one of the 33 brands in the study showed an improvement over last year’s scores in the study. “Manufacturers are currently making some of the highest-quality products that we’ve ever seen,” says Renee Stephens, vice president of automotive quality at J.D. Power. “It has become

clear that automakers are listening to the customer, identifying ‘pain points’ and are focused on continuous improvement.” Among the most encouraging signs in the survey: For only the second time in the study’s 30year history, Detroit’s Big 3 brands collectively had fewer problems than their importbrand counterparts. They had 103 flaws per 100 vehicles, compared with an average of 106 for foreign brands. Chrysler and Jeep were the most improved brands. Both had 28 fewer reported problems than a year ago, though both are still worse than the industry average.

Donald Trump sharpened his attacks on Hillary Clinton on Wednesday in New York City.

In bid to reboot, Trump dallies with discipline GOP presidential hopeful even tries a teleprompter Susan Page @susanpage USA TODAY

Meet Donald Trump 2.0. After squandering the seven weeks since he clinched the Republican nomination, Trump is moving to reboot a presidential campaign that has faltered on everything from money and message to ads and organization. He’s shaking up his staff, launching a rapid-response operation, focusing on fundraising and even used a teleprompter (the better to stick to the script) as he delivered a broadside slamming Hillary Clinton as corrupt and incompetent. “Hillary Clinton may be the most corrupt person ever to seek the presidency,” he declared Wednesday, sparking a standing ovation among supporters seated on velvet purple chairs in a ballroom at the Trump SoHo Hotel in New York. He called the presumptive Democratic nominee “a world-class liar.” While his words were as inflammatory as ever, his tone was more deliberate, his targets more strategic and his overall message more coherent than the rambling remarks at rallies that have marked his campaign over the past year, though he still made some disputed and inaccurate assertions. He portrayed the election as a choice between change vs. more of the same, the theme helped elect Bill Clinton in 1992 and Barack Obama in 2008.

ed the opening among disenchanted voters for his unconventional candidacy. Trump’s belated scramble to build a nationwide campaign organization, raise millions of dollars and stay on message surely will be tested in the next few weeks. But if he succeeds, the pivot to a more competitive campaign will have started this week. And not a moment too soon: The Republican National Convention opens in Cleveland in 26 days.

Hillary Clinton fired back in an event in Raleigh, N.C., saying Trump lacked substance.

Trump’s decision to fire campaign manager Corey Lewandowski Monday and to adopt some of the fundamentals of modern presidential campaigns — after all, carefully delivering a prepared speech isn’t exactly a revolutionary notion — may help quiet growing alarm within the GOP over Trump’s course. Trump’s speech focused on the one thing that unites Republicans: opposition to Clinton. He repeated a litany of accusation and innuendo, holding her responsible for unrest in the Mid-

dle East, the rise of Islamic State terrorists and the deaths of four Americans in a 2012 attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya. He said she was part of a “rigged system” that had sent manufacturing jobs overseas. And he suggested adversaries might well have “a blackmail file” to use against her, obtained by hacking the private email server she used as secretary of State. Clinton responded at a campaign rally in Raleigh, N.C. “He’s going after me personally because he no answers on the substance,” she said to cheers, specifically countering some of his statements, including an attack on the Clinton Global Foundation. “We can’t let Donald Trump bankrupt America the way he bankrupt his casinos. We need to write a new chapter in the American dream, and it can’t be Chapter 11.” Clinton continues to have some big advantages, including a nationwide campaign organization that is 10 times the size of Trump’s team. She has 30 times more money than he does in the bank. She has the support of the incumbent president, whose approval rating now tops 50%. Yet Trump at the least has history on his side. Only once in modern times has a political party managed to hold the White House for a third consecutive term. And at a Pittsburgh focus group Monday conducted by Democratic pollster Peter Hart and sponsored by the nonpartisan Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania, Trump supporters didn’t seem shaken by missteps. “He’s unapologetic, which I think is kind of nice because it’s a change from those dirty politicians,” Dara Held, 40, said.

There comes a time when you have to say something, when you have to make a little noise, when you have to move your feet. This is the time. Now is the time to get in the way. The time to act is now.

When Ryan took to the podium later, he brought the House back into session and proceeded to votes. Republicans remained mostly stone-faced throughout the rowdy Democratic spectacle. After the votes, the House recessed again, and Democrats returned to their protest speeches on the floor. Ryan said earlier on CNN that he would not schedule a vote on gun bills that have already been defeated in the Senate. “This is a publicity stunt,” Ryan said. “This isn’t trying to come up with a solution to a problem. This is trying to get attention.” Senators on Monday voted down four partisan gun measures and were trying to craft a compromise Wednesday that would make it harder for people on ter-

John Lewis, we will be sitting-in until the House is allowed an opportunity to vote. This is an issue that ought to transcend party — it’s about saving lives and keeping our communities safe.” Most of the House demonstration was not broadcast on C-SPAN. The network carries feeds from cameras belonging to the House, which are controlled by the majority party and turned off when the House is not in session. Instead,

C-SPAN aired video feeds posted by Democrats from the floor via their social media accounts. Rep. Jared Huffman, D-Calif., accused Republican leadership of not allowing the broadcast, although it is long-standing policy not to show the House floor when the chamber is in recess. “The fact is they can cut off the mics, they can cut off the cameras, they will not silence our voice,” he said as the sit-in approached four hours. Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California went to the floor and called for a moment of silence. Rep. James Clyburn, DS.C., led a prayer. No one appeared ready to give up anytime soon. “I am prepared to stay here until hell freezes over,” Rep. Max-

ine Waters, D-Calif., said. “We’re here because we can’t take it anymore. … We can’t take burying our young people.” Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn, who led a nearly 15-hour gun control demonstration in the Senate last week, went over to the House floor to show his support. “This is an extraordinary tactic,” he said as he headed into the chamber shortly after noon. “This is an exceptional time.” The sit-in was not the first time lawmakers staged a protest after the cameras were turned off. In 2008, Republicans demanded a vote on oil drilling, but the Democratic majority under then-speaker Pelosi voted to adjourn and turned off the lights. Republicans came to the empty House chamber for days to make speeches about oil production and rail against what they said was unfair treatment by Democrats. At the White House on Wednesday, spokesman Josh Earnest said House Democrats are “are showing the kind of frustration and even anger that people around the country have.” “What Democrats are asking for is neither radical nor controversial,” he said, citing polls showing that expanded background checks are favored by large majorities of people, including gun owners.

A plane successfully returned from the South Pole on Wednesday, completing a daring rescue mission to save the lives of two sick workers who were trapped at one of the most inhospitable places on the planet — the Amundsen-Scott research station in the middle of Antarctica. A small, Canadian owned-andoperated Twin Otter plane made the return, 1,500-mile trip, a day after its first flight, the National Science Foundation said. The plane landed at the British Antarctic Survey’s Rothera Station, located on the Antarctic peninsula at the continent’s edge, Wednesday afternoon. The patients are scheduled to be transported to a hospital in South America, the foundation reported.

LIGHTNING STRIKES KILL 79 PEOPLE IN INDIA

At least 79 people, most of them farm laborers working in the fields during the monsoon season, have been killed by lightning over the past two days in India, according to state officials. The deaths occurred in the states of Bihar, where 56 people died, in Jharkhand and Madhya Pradesh. In Bihar, the victims included at least eight shepherds tending their sheep, said Vyasji, a disaster management official who uses only one name. He told reporters that he expects the death toll to go up as reports come in from remote districts of the state, the Associated Press reports. — Doug Stanglin FORMER HOUSE SPEAKER STARTS HIS PRISON TERM

WASHINGTON Doctors, nurses and pharmacists were among more than 300 charged with health care fraud schemes involving $900 million in false billings in what the Justice Department described Wednesday as the largest such enforcement action in U.S. history. At least 28 doctors were among those charged with a range of offenses, including conspiracy, bribery, money laundering, kickback violations and identity theft, according to federal documents. Sixty suspects allegedly were linked to schemes involving the Medicare prescription drug benefit program known as Part D, which is the fastest-growing component of the Medicare program. “The wrongdoers that we pursue in these operations seek to use public funds for private enrichment,” Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Wednesday. “They target real people — many of them in need of significant medical care. They promise effective cures and therapies, but they provide none.” According to court documents, the suspects allegedly submitted claims to Medicare and Medicaid for treatments that were medically unnecessary and often never provided. In many cases, federal prosecutors alleged, patient recruiters, Medicare beneficiaries and other conspirators were paid kickbacks in return for supplying beneficiary information to providers, so that the providers could then submit fraudulent bills to Medicare for services that were medically unnecessary or never performed.

Although demand for abortion pills has been especially high in Brazil, women in this country are often unable to receive them.

Appeals for abortion pills also increased by 20% to 22% in Argentina and Peru, which did not have Zika outbreaks at the time of the study. Interest in medical abortion in Peru may have increased because the health director in one of the country’s northern states suggested declaring a state of emergency in anticipation of Zika’s eventual arrival, said study co-author Abigail Aiken, an assistant professor at the University of Texas at Austin.

Although the study can’t definitely prove that government warnings about Zika caused women to try to terminate their pregnancies, authors say their results suggest this was the case. Significantly, researchers found no increase in requests for abortion pills in Zika-affected countries where officials have not issued national pregnancy advisories, Aiken said.

FLINT The Michigan attorney general filed a lawsuit Wednesday morning against a water company and an engineering firm, plus several related companies, in connection with the Flint drinking water crisis, alleging the firms’ “acts and omission constitute professional negligence, fraud and public nuisance.” Attorney General Bill Schuette’s lawsuit names seven corporate defendants in all, but according to court records they are all related to two firms that did work for the City of Flint. The civil lawsuit filed in Flint in Genesee County Circuit Court and obtained by the Detroit Free Press accuses the companies of causing “the Flint Water Crisis to occur, continue and worsen,” the lawsuit said. The companies listed as defendants include Veolia North America, Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam and Leo A. Daly Co., which is LAN’s parent company.

HOW THE ‘BREXIT’ VOTE WILL AFFECT

YOUR PORTFOLIO

With the race still too close to call, investors can only sit and wait Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO Elon Musk inhabits a world of declarative superlatives. On a conference call with investors Wednesday, Tesla’s CEO called his company’s $2.8 billion offer for SolarCity a “no-brainer” that is “legally and morally correct,” a “zero-doubt” move that “we should have done sooner.” What’s more, Musk trumpeted that the deal could help propel Tesla toward being the world’s first trillion-dollar company as “the solution to the Earth’s climate change problem.” Analysts aren’t so sure. And a steep drop in Tesla’s stock — down 10% in Wednesday trading, whacking $3 billion off its lofty $32 billion market cap — confirms investor skepticism. Musk touts the proposed deal’s ability to make the Tesla brand a one-stop-shopping experience. March into a Tesla store and you’ll be able to buy SolarCity solar panels for your roof, Tesla’s Powerwall to store that electricity and one of three electric cars: the Model S, X and upcoming 3. But there is a buzz of concern over Tesla’s ability to swallow a company operating in a volatile industry as well as Musk’s apparent conflict of interest as a director of both Tesla and a company run by his first cousin, Lyndon Rive, and the largest single owner in both companies’ shares. “Little in the way of synergies, much in the way of cash burn,” wrote Barclay’s analyst Brian Johnson told investors. He predicts the companies would have a combined net debt of $2.5 billion. SolarCity is the nation’s leading provider of solar solutions, accounting for 34% of home installations in 2015. But SolarCity’s stock has dropped 65% over the past year.

Social Security recipients will get a bit more 2017’s cost-of-living adjustment will add just a few dollars Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

The average recipient of Social Security will receive a slight increase in benefits in 2017, according to projections released Wednesday. Trustees who oversee the nation’s entitlement programs said in two new reports that they expect Social Security’s cost-of-living-adjustment (COLA) increase to be 0.2% next year, based on “intermediate assumptions.” The trustees also projected that Medicare’s Hospital Insurance trust fund will run out of money earlier than previously predicted.

The small increase in Social Security next year — which equals an extra $2 for someone getting a $1,000 monthly check — would come after retirees got no increase in Social Security benefits in 2016 for the third time in four decades. The final COLA figure is typically not determined until the fall. Social Security’s trust fund reserves will run out in 2034, mirroring last year’s projection, according to a report tracking the entitlement program’s health. Afterward, yearly revenues would allow the government to pay about 75% of Social Security benefits that have already been

promised, according to the report. Medicare’s Hospital Insurance trust fund will run out of money in 2028, two years sooner than previous projections — in part because of low inflation. The estimated average monthly premium for Medicare Part B in 2017 is $149, up GETTY IMAGES from 2016’s rate of $121.80 and 2015’s rate of $104.90. About 70% of Part B enrollees will be able to avoid the portion of the premium increase that exceeds their Social Security benefit increase, according to the health insurance report. The U.S. government spent $648 billion on Medicare in 2015,

representing 3.6% of the nation’s gross domestic product, according to the report. That is projected to grow to 5.6% by 2040, primarily because of the aging population. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said the figures “show that we have some time to address the fiscal challenges faced by the vitally important Trust Fund programs.” “But reform will be needed,” he added, “and Congress should not wait until the eleventh hour to address the fiscal challenges.” AARP CEO Jo Ann Jenkins said in a statement that the Social Security report illustrates the importance of pressing political candidates and elected officials for answers. “Candidates who don’t take a stand on Social Security in this important election year choose to put the program’s strength at risk in the long term,” Jenkins said.

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

It’s D-Day for the “Brexit” vote, and when all the votes are tallied by the end of the day Thursday, investors around the world will know if the United Kingdom is staying in or leaving the European Union. The risk, of course, is what seemed like a long shot not too long ago — a vote to exit the EU, better known as a Brexit — actually becomes a reality. That would come as a shock to many investors, as most of the betting this week from stock, bond and currency investors around the world was on a vote for the U.K. to “remain” in the 28-nation economic and political union. And if financial markets do get shocked, it will likely add up to a

Cash burn rate fuels interest in solar deal

Q: Can SolarCity survive without Tesla? Matt Krantz

@mattkrantz mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: SolarCity shareholders breathed a sigh of relief when Tesla offered a rich premium for their stock. There’s no question the company’s future would be much less sunny without Tesla. Late Tuesday, Tesla offered between $26.50 and $28.50 a share for SolarCity, which is a rich premium to the stock’s closing price of $21.19 that day. Investors pleased with the offer pushed the shares up 69 cents, or 3.3%, to $21.88 a share Wednesday. Getting the deal done, given resistance by Tesla shareholders and potential conflict of interest questions between the companies, won’t be easy. But one thing is for sure, SolarCity needs more cash to keep operating in one form or another. The company ended the first quarter with just $361.7 million in cash and investments, while it carries a heavy load of $2.6 billion in long-term debt. It’s not just the balance sheet that’s constrained. The company burned $193.1 million from operations in the first quarter, which doesn’t even include the $459.6 million in cash consumed from capital expenditures. SolarCity’s cash won’t hold out long at that burn rate. SolarCity needs to raise another $2 billion this year, says Credit Suisse analyst Patrick Jobin in a note to clients.

Fast-food chains doing ‘natural’ thing to lure Millennials Chris Woodyard @ChrisWoodyard USA TODAY

After years of serving meals quick and cheap, fast-food chains are having to turn to a new tactic in hopes of luring Millennial customers: going natural. The latest example came Wednesday as Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr. announced chicken breasts for its sandwiches that are “natural” because they don’t have any artificial preservatives or additives. The dual chain, operated by CKE Restaurants Holdings, already

HARDEE’S/CARL’S JR.

The new chicken sandwiches boast no artificial preservatives or additives.

has natural turkey burgers and a line of all-natural hamburgers. In March, McDonald’s said it was testing Chicken McNuggets in Portland, Ore., that lack artificial preservatives, flavors or colors. It’s also testing fresh, not

frozen, hamburger patties in some Dallas locations. And both have watched as Chipotle Mexican Grill has grown, appealing to younger customers with a formula pushing natural ingredients and no non-thera-

peutic antibiotics or synthetic hormones in its meats. For Hardee’s and sister chain Carl’s, the movement has represented a turnabout in the desires of its core customers, men ages 18 to 34 who are among the most frequent customers of fast-food chains, says Brad Haley, the chain’s chief marketing officer. Young men’s biggest goal “used to be a lot of food for the money,” he says. “Now, they are more concerned about what they put in their bodies than ever before.” The generation has, he points out, more vegetarians than in the past, not a great development for

hamburger-driven chains. Younger men in the target demographic visit fast-food chains 11 times a month, more than any other group, and spend more on their meals, Haley says. In the past, Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr. have lured them with TV ads that played to images of hulking burgers with a dash of sex appeal — whether it was sexy models or, in one ad, Paris Hilton at the height of her fame, struggling to devour the monster burgers. Now, Haley says, young men are “just as interested in all-natural or minimally processed food as the total population.”

The seventh anniversary of Michael Jackson’s death is Saturday, and for his family, fans and friends, it could have been an opportunity for happy reminiscences about his life and career. But not so much anymore. New biographies are landing, and a TV series about the last months of his life is planned. But that’s not what made headlines Wednesday. Instead, Jackson’s supporters, including daughter Paris, 18, were fuming about the re-emergence in the online tabloid Radar of material found by police in a 2003 raid on his Neverland Ranch in Santa Barbara County, Calif., and used at his 2005 trial on child-molestation charges. Jackson was acquitted on 14 felony and misdemeanor charges. But for some people, that wasn’t the end of the matter, nor was his

death from a drug overdose in 2009. “It’s a smear campaign,” says Tavis Smiley, author of a new biography of Jackson that chronicles “the human drama” of the last 16 weeks of Jackson’s life and his effort to mount a comeback while battling drug dependency. “The fans think someone is attempting to retry him once again in the court of public opinion. My conclusion: Michael didn’t live in peace, he didn’t die in peace and apparently they’re not going to let him rest in peace,” Smiley says. Radar said its review of the material showed Neverland was a “sinister house of horrors” where Jackson allegedly stockpiled “images of pornography, animal torture, S&M and gore in a bid to seduce innocent young boys.” The sheriff’s office released a statement denying it had anything to do with releasing documents, photos and videos to the media. The statement said some of the documents appear to be legitimate sheriff’s documents, but not all. “The photos that are interspersed appear to be some evidentiary photos taken by Sheriff’s investigators and others are

clearly obtained from the Internet,” the statement said. The Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s office did not return calls requesting comment about who released or leaked the material or whether it is investigating. Radar quoted a former prosecutor at Jackson’s trial, Ron Zonen, as saying the material proved to him “that Michael was guilty of child molestation.” Zonen could not be reached for further comment. Not true, says Jackson’s trial lawyer, Thomas Mesereau, who said prosecutors at Jackson’s trial “got their ass kicked.” Mesereau says he saw all this material at the

trial as Jackson’s defender, and so did the jury. “This is a complete waste of time, it was all litigated in 2005,” Mesereau says. “It’s dated, outrageous and ridiculous information, and it was completely rejected by a jury 11 years ago.” The Jackson estate issued a statement through a publicist decrying the Radar story as “false.” “Those who continue to shamelessly exploit Michael via sleazy Internet ‘click bait’ ignore that he was acquitted by a jury in 2005 on every one of the 14 salacious charges brought against him in a failed witch hunt. “Michael remains just as innocent of these smears in death as he was in life even though he isn’t here to defend himself. Enough is enough.” All this has come up as new biographies of Jackson, timed to the anniversary of his death, have landed, including Smiley’s Before You Judge Me: The Triumph and Tragedy of Michael Jackson’s Last Days (Little, Brown), with co-author David Ritz. Also, Smiley has teamed with A-list director J.J. Abrams to produce a new miniseries on Jackson’s final days, based on the book.

Streaming pushes ‘Game’ to new levels

Numbers suggest different platforms don’t steal from TV Gary Levin @garymlevin USA TODAY

Game of Thrones ends its sixth deadly season Sunday (9 ET/PT), and while fans haven’t loved every battle, they’re still watching HBO’s biggest hit in record numbers. The fantasy series marks the network’s first to run six years while consistently building its audience, HBO says, citing Nielsen and streaming data provided exclusively to USA TODAY. Through June 17, the series is averaging 23.3 million viewers across all platforms, up 15% from last year. The breakdown: Sunday premiere ratings are up 6%, to 7.3 million, while overall TV and ondemand viewership is up 4%. But viewing on HBO Now and HBO Go digital platforms skyrocketed 70% over last season, to about 2.5 million streams, reflecting growth in HBO Now subscriptions since

HBO

More fans than ever watched Game of Thrones to see the fate of Ramsay Bolton (Iwan Rheon). the app’s launch in April 2015. HBO Go, introduced in 2010, allows the premium cable network’s 33 million subscribers to watch series and movies on mobile devices or away from home. HBO Now, added just before Thrones’ fifth-season premiere, gives non-subscribers access to HBO’s library for $15 a month. HBO says HBO Now had 800,000 subscribers as of Jan. 1, a figure that has presumably climbed since then. And the 2.5

million average weekly viewership on digital platforms — aimed squarely at the series’ youngmale fan base — is based on a combination of view counts and time spent watching, though multiple viewers on a single device aren’t counted. Thrones’ Sunday comedy companions also are up, though not nearly as sharply: Silicon Valley, averaging 6.4 million viewers, is up 4% this season, but while HBO Now and HBO Go viewership is

up 37% from last season, TV ratings dipped 4%. And Veep, averaging 4.4 million viewers, is up 6% overall; TV ratings edged up 1%, but its digital audience climbed 40%. The lesson? Contrary to fears in some circles, HBO Now “doesn’t cannibalize anything on the (TV) network,” says CEO Richard Plepler. “It simply expands the audience’s opportunity to watch our programs. It’s all about expanding the pie.” Later this summer, HBO Now will become home to more original content not shown on TV, including bonus material from Bill Simmons, whose sports and popculture show Any Given Wednesday premiered this week. And this fall, former Daily Show host Jon Stewart will launch a series of digital shorts on the service, refreshed several times a week. Aside from Netflix, Hulu and Amazon, traditional broadcast and cable networks are experimenting with original series to drive subscriptions to their apps: CBS All Access, which costs $5.99 a month, will be the exclusive home to a new Star Trek series due in January, and a spinoff of The Good Wife, starring Christine Baranski, later next year.

Texas safety commits to KU By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

FORMER JAYHAWKS, FROM LEFT, CHEICK DIALLO, WAYNE SELDEN JR. AND PERRY ELLIS will learn their NBA fates today. As of Wednesday, Diallo was projected as a first-round pick in today’s draft, Selden was projected as a second-rounder, and Ellis was expected to go late in the second round or not at all.

Jayhawks to learn draft fate tonight By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Perry Ellis, who heard jokes about his age from opposing fans during his justcompleted senior season at Kansas University, never was subjected to similar oneliners from his teammates. “No. Nobody talked to Perry like that. Everybody respected Perry too much. Perry’s the man. Nobody would dare,” former KU guard Wayne Selden Jr. told NBA.com after an individual workout with the Charlotte Hornets. Ellis, who played four seasons of college basketball, and Selden, who played three, enter tonight’s NBA Draft (6 p.m., ESPN) viewed as possible, yet not certain, second-round selections. The 6-foot-8 Ellis, considered by some a man without

a position in the NBA, also, believe it or not, faces questions about his age. He turns 23 in September, the same month the 6-6 Selden turns 22 and likely first-round 2016 NBA pick Chieck Diallo turns DRAFT 20. KU’s other possible draft When: 6 pick, Brannen p.m. today Greene, turns 22 in Decem- Where: Barclays ber. As of Center, Wednesday, Brooklyn, Ellis’ name N.Y. appeared in TV: ESPN just one of the (WOW! ch. popular mock 33, 233) drafts, as NBAdraftnet had Memphis selecting the Wichita native No. 27 in Round Two. Will Ellis be drafted? “I hope so,” one prominent NBA official told the Journal-

World Wednesday. “He can play, and he’s a good person.” Ellis worked out for 11 NBA teams — Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Atlanta, San Antonio, Phoenix, New Orleans, Toronto, Boston, New York and Los Angeles for both the Clippers and Lakers. Selden — he worked out for Milwaukee, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, San Antonio, Houston, the Los Angeles Lakers, New York, New Orleans and Charlotte among others — has fared a bit better in the mock drafts. Draftexpress.com has him as the 20th pick of Round Two to Indiana. NBAdraft.net has him the 26th pick of Round Two to Denver. “It is not too big a deal,” Selden responded to Draftexpress.com, asked how important it is to be selected early in the draft. “I will take the opportunity, whatever

opportunity I’m given and I’m going to roll with it. I just want a foot in the door. I know what I can do. I know what I’m capable of. “I feel I’m becoming an even better shooter, becoming a better ballhandler, being able to play multiple positions on the court. I feel I can go at the 2, 3 now. I feel with improved ballhandling a little more I can play the 1 at times as well.” The 6-foot-9 Diallo appears to be a solid first-round selection. Chad Ford’s ESPN mock draft Wednesday had Diallo going No. 23 overall to Boston. Draftexpress. com also has Diallo at No. 23, while the Washington Post has him at No. 15 to Denver. There’s just one ominous projection. CBSsports.com has Diallo as the 29th overall Please see DRAFT, page 3C

Kansas University’s football program picked up two three-star commitments Wednesday. Akayleb Evans, a threestar safety out of McKinney, Texas, committed to KU early Wednesday. Twelve hours later, three-star defensive back Robert Topps, from Chicago, picked KU. That means five threestar players have committed to the Jayhawks, who now have commitments from nine players in the 2017 recruiting class. The decision to commit orally to Kansas made Evans’ birthday an extra-special day. “I’d like to celebrate my birthday today by announcing my verbal commitment to continue my academic and football career at the University of Kansas,” Evans wrote on Twitter. “Thank you to my family and friends, MHS coaches and teammates, my trainer, mentor and everyone who supported me getting to this point. Thank you to the Kansas coaches for inviting me to be a part of something great.” The 6-foot-2, 180-pound Evans picked Kansas over offers or strong interest from Iowa, Iowa State, SMU, TCU and Tulsa. Rivals.com listed firstyear linebackers coach Todd Bradford as the lead recruiter for Evans, who joins four-star Louisiana native Mike Lee as the first two defensive backs to commit to KU in the 2017 class. Evans told Jon Kirby of JayhawkSlant.com that he and his parents were blown away by KU’s facilities, campus and the way they were treated during their visit to Lawrence this spring. “They loved the visit a lot more than they thought they would,” Evans told Kirby. “We were all surprised when we got there because it was more than we expected.” Topps, 6-2, 185 from Marist High, held 15 Div. I offers and picked KU without visiting, largely because of his connection to defensive coordinator Clint Bowen. There remains a long way to go until the 2017 classes are finalized in February, but so far KU coach David Beaty and his staff — most of which is in its first year at Kansas — is off to a strong start. Several recruiting sites have KU’s 2017 class ranking in the top seven in the Big 12, a marked improvement from the more familiar ninth- or 10th-place slots the Jayhawks have been used to during the past six seasons.

Bumpy road: Royals drop both games to Mets New York (ap) — The best thing about Kansas City’s road trip was it only lasted two games. Even a visit to the site of last year’s championship triumph couldn’t help the Royals win away from home. Joakim Soria gave up a tiebreaking homer in the sixth inning to rookie Matt Reynolds, and the New York Mets beat Kansas City 4-3 on Wednesday for a two-game sweep in their World Series rematch. Reynolds sent an opposite-field drive to right off Soria (3-3) for his first major-league home run.

“He put it in the air, and the wind took care of the rest,” Soria said. After falling to 13-25 on the road, the Royals headed back home — where they boast the best mark in the majors at 25-8. Houston arrives Friday for a three-game series at Kauffman Stadium. Cheslor Cuthbert homered for the Royals, who had won eight of nine overall when they showed up at Citi Field, where they clinched their 2015 title with a late rally in Game 5 of the World Series. But after a string of come-

backs floored the Mets last fall, this time New York’s bullpen held Kansas City at bay in two more tight games between the teams. Including a two-game split at Kauffman Stadium to begin the season, the Mets took three of four meetings between the defending league champions this year. New York held on Wednesday even though Noah Syndergaard left his start after six innings with a sore elbow and slugger Yoenis Cespedes came out because of an aching wrist. Both star players were sent to the doctor as the banged-

up Mets packed for a sevengame trip. Asdrubal Cabrera homered for the second straight day to help Syndergaard (82) win his sixth consecutive decision. Curtis Granderson walked with two outs in the fifth and Cabrera hit a two-run shot off a 97 mph, 1-2 fastball from frustrated starter Danny Duffy. Kathy Willens/AP Photo “I made one bad pitch that really kind of screwed KANSAS CITY’S PAULO ORLANDO WATCHES A up the whole performance,” VIDEO REPLAY after he struck out swinging on Duffy said. “I wasn’t happy.” a pitch thrown by reliever Jeurys Familia in the ninth inning of the Royals’ 4-3 loss to the Mets l Box score on page 4C on Wednesday in New York.

NHL expanding to Las Vegas Las Vegas — The NHL is making a big bet on Las Vegas. The league will expand to Las Vegas after awarding its 31st franchise to billionaire businessman Bill Foley on Wednesday. Commissioner Gary Bettman announced the decision after the league’s board of governors met on a 109-degree day and voted to put an ice hockey team in the Mojave Desert’s gambling mecca. Foley is expected to pay $500 million to the NHL’s other owners as an expansion fee. The new team will play in T-Mobile Arena, the $375 million building that opened just off the Las Vegas Strip in April. The NHL is expanding for the first time since 2000, when Minnesota and Columbus each paid $80 million to join the league.

CLEVELAND’S LEBRON JAMES, CENTER, STANDS IN THE BACK of a Rolls- Royce during a parade Wednesday in downtown Cleveland, celebrating the Cavaliers’ NBA championship.

James tells fans he’s staying Cleveland (ap) — Cheered by a sea of fans spilling off sidewalks and choking the streets, LeBron James and the Cavaliers paraded and rallied as NBA champs in a once-in-ageneration party for Cleveland. The city’s title drought is over. The party — and procession slowed to a crawl by a mass of humanity — is just getting started. “For some crazy reason, I feel like I’m gonna wake up and it’s going to be Game 4 again” with the Cavs down 2-1 to the Warriors, James told hundreds of thousands of fans before thanking each of his teammates one by one. James gave those hometown fans even more reason to celebrate Wednesday by telling reporters he intends to stay in Cleveland, skipping the drama of previous splashy announcements when he decided to go to Miami in 2010 then come back to the Cavaliers four years later.

“I’m just one man. I’m one man with a plan, with a drive, with a determination,” James said. The crowd, some fans arriving Tuesday night to camp out so they could get as close as possible, overwhelmed downtown Cleveland to celebrate with James, Kyrie Irving and their teammates. The Cavs made history by overcoming a 3-1 deficit to beat the Golden State Warriors in the Finals, ending the city’s 52-year championship drought. The team delivered again Wednesday with a raucous celebration filled with selfies and shirtless ballers, new nicknames for fresh moments — rare positive memories — for Cleveland sports lore. Irving gave props to James’ block on Andre Iguodala that set up his three-pointer to take the lead for good in Game 7. James raved about Irving but also Kevin Love’s defense in the final moments against

NBA MVP Stephen Curry. And Richard Jefferson, who said after winning the title that he planned to retire, got caught up by crowd chants of “one more year” and told them if they wanted him back, he’d return. This was the parade Cleveland has waited to throw since 1964, when the beloved Browns owned the NFL. There were lean years — and so many close calls — in between before James, born in nearby Akron, made good on his promise to bring home a championship. Fans stood on rooftops and portable toilets and hung out of office building windows hoping to get a glimpse of James, who rode in a Rolls-Royce convertible with his wife, Savannah, and their three children. Near the start of the route and just feet from his iconic, 10-story banner, James stood and posed with his arms outstretched just as he does on the giant mural — life imitating art, the photo op of a lifetime.

New York (ap) — Ben Simmons has the sneaker deal and the TV show, so off the court he already has the look of a star. The only questions seem to be about what he can do on the floor.

The Big 12 is asking Baylor for a full accounting of the investigation into how sexual-assault allegations were handled at the school, including information that has not been released publicly. The conference released a statement Wednesday saying Commissioner Bob Bowlsby had sent a letter to Baylor interim President David Garland “once again” requesting all documents associated the investigation by the law firm of Pepper Hamilton. The Big 12 is requesting written materials as well as any information that was conveyed orally to Baylor leadership and its board of regents along with pertinent internal documents. Baylor, which is a private university, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The investigation, parts of which were released last month, found school administrators did little to respond to accusations of sexual assault involving members of its vaunted football program. That report said coaches stifled school and criminal investigations into serious allegations of assault by players, and perpetuated a culture that the football program was “above the rules.”

New York (ap) — The New York Knicks acquired Derrick Rose from the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday, hoping the former NBA MVP can be their answer at point guard. The Knicks sent center Robin Lopez and guards Jose Calderon and Jerian Grant to the Bulls in the deal. New York also received guard Justin Holiday and a 2017 second-round pick, and waived point guard Tony Wroten.

Yet after an up-and-down season at LSU, Simmons arrived in New York on Wednesday with more scrutiny than usual for a player whose name is expected to be called first by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. “It was a roller coaster, but I think everything that I went through has helped mold me into the player that I am now,” Simmons said. “But I think I’m ready.” He averaged 19.2 points, 11.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists, the only SEC player ever to finish in the top five in all three categories. But the Tigers were

only 19-14, failing to make the NCAA Tournament, and with all his talent Simmons sometimes left the impressive that he could’ve — made should’ve — done more to lead his team. “That’s always going to happen when you’re one of the best guys. They try to bring you down, but honestly it was a rough season,” Simmons said. “We had guys that were hurt, were out, but it wasn’t the perfect season that we wanted.” If critics want to put the blame on Simmons, LSU coach Johnny Jones thinks they’re looking in the wrong place. “People have spent a lot of time this past season trying to break his game down in a nega-

tive way, taking a lot of unnecessary shots at him,” Jones said. “And I’m glad at the end of the day, his performance at LSU, his growth there, the decisions he made as he continued to grow as a basketball player, has put him in a situation where he’s going to be the No. 1 player taken in the draft.” Simmons insists he doesn’t actually know if he will go first, but Madison Ave. seems convinced. Simmons already has inked a sneaker deal with Nike and will be the feature of a Showtime documentary film called “ONE & DONE” that will debut in October, just before Simmons debuts in the NBA.

Where will Selden go? When Wayne Selden Jr. first arrived at Kansas University in 2013, some thought the Roxbury, Mass., native would play one season of college basketball and enter the NBA Draft for guaranteed money, just like KU teammates Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid. Two years after Selden rightfully stayed in college and his two teammates were taken in the first three picks, Selden heads into his own draft night with far less certainty. Selden won’t be a lottery pick or even a firstround pick, according to draft experts. The general consensus on the 6-foot-5 shooting guard with a 6-foot-10 wingspan is that he’ll be selected in the mid to late second round. That might not seem like an ideal set of circumstances for a player who left school early, but teams seem interested in Selden. After averaging 13.6 points, 2.5 assists and 3.4 rebounds in his junior season with Kansas, during which he shot 46.9% from the floor and 38.3% on three-pointers, Selden was invited to pre-draft workouts with Milwaukee, Chicago, San Antonio, Houston, the Los Angeles Lakers, New York, New Orleans, Charlotte, the L.A. Clippers, Dallas, Boston, Oklahoma City and Brooklyn. You can still be a commodity as a prospect, even if you’re not a lottery pick. Teams know what they’re getting with Selden, and while that might not be enough for one to use a first-round pick on him, that doesn’t mean he’ll have an uphill battle to make a roster as a second-rounder. Selden is explosive when healthy, and his toughness and defensive ability have improved after three years of playing for coach Bill Self. Plus, his passing skills and floor vision often go unappreciated, and those will be useful tools for him at the next level as a backup guard trying to work his way into a secure role in some team’s rotation. Also, in a bit of a twist, it could be possible for a second-round draft choice this season to have his agent negotiate a more lucrative deal than some first-rounders are locked into. That stems from the rising salary cap this summer and the way first-round contracts currently are structured, as reported by Dan Feidman at NBCSports. Here’s a look at the teams which currently own second-round draft picks in the range projected for Selden. Keep in mind second-round picks get traded like crazy almost every draft night.

pick to San Antonio. There are just 30 picks in the first round, which guarantees contracts for all selected. “Diallo didn’t really do much at Kansas last season, but that won’t stop a team like the Celtics from grabbing him — especially after his strong play at the NBA combine,” ESPN’s Ford writes. “He is tough and athletic, and he might have the best motor in the draft. He’s raw. But had he stayed in school another season, he probably would have been a lottery pick next year. That makes him good value here and potentially a starter on the Maine Red Claws (D-League).” None of the mock drafts list Greene, who has worked out for a batch of teams including Utah, Sacramento and Detroit. Jazz

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S WAYNE SELDEN JR. WARMS UP prior to KU’s Elite Eight game against Villanova on March 26 in Louisville, Ky. The teams: No. 45, Boston; No. 46, Dallas; No. 47, Orlando; No. 48, Chicago; No. 49, Detroit; No. 50, Indiana; No. 51, Boston; No. 52, Utah; No. 53, Denver; No. 54, Atlanta Assuming Selden goes somewhere in this vicinity of the second round, let’s take a look at how he might fit in with each organization. Boston, 45th pick, 51st pick — If the Celtics don’t move out of this range via trade (they enter draft day with a whopping eight picks), Selden certainly wouldn’t mind playing for his hometown team. However, Boston does have a bit of a crowded backcourt — at this stage of the offseason at least, though any number of moves could materialize in the days and months ahead. The Celtics return All-Star Isaiah Thomas, Avery Bradley and Marcus Smart, as well as 2015 firstround picks Terry Rozier and R.J. Hunter. All five guards are under contract for multiple seasons. If Boston takes Selden, he would only get significant minutes as a rookie if Danny Ainge and Brad Stevens aren’t sold on the longterm viability of Hunter, a three-point specialist, or one or more of the team’s other returning guards end up getting traded. Should the opportunity for playing time materialize with the Celtics, I think Selden would fit in nicely as a backup guard right off the bat. Dallas, 46th pick — With Wesley Matthews, one of the league’s best unheralded shooting guards, in the starting lineup, there probably won’t be a lot of minutes for a backup with the Mavericks. Then again, that could be a perfect situation for Selden. Matthews would be an ideal tutor for the KU rookie, and Selden could gradually attempt to turn into Matthews 2.0. They’re similarly built, and while Matthews is for sure a better three-point shooter, one could see Selden getting better in that area. Orlando, 47th pick — Already young and up-and-coming in the backcourt, the Magic

vice president of player personnel Walt Perrin told the Deseret News Greene has “an NBA skill,” referring to his long-range shooting. Greene, by the way, who had declined a J-W request to discuss his climbing out of a burning Uber car from the back seat and saving the driver, addressed the situation with the Utah media. “We went flying, hit the bridge, hit the pillars, the car caught on fire,” Greene told the Deseret News. “(Then) a semi hit us and that’s when it caught on fire. It was scary, man. But I’m just glad I’m through it.” The 6-7 Greene said: “I had to kick the door and then I helped the driver get out. He was a little shook up. It was definitely (like) a movie, for sure. “I took off running a little bit more. I looked back and the car was just, ‘Boom! Boom!’” Greene added. “All the cars just

might have too many players in that category to add another in Selden. Victor Oladipo, Elfrid Payton and Mario Hezonja return for Orlando, which also has veteran C.J. Watson and seldomused Shabazz Napier under contract. Should the Magic draft Selden, it seems it would be for insurance purposes, in case one of the established players suffered an injury. In a best-case scenario for Selden in Orlando, he would prove athletic and versatile enough to be the No. 4 guard. Chicago, 48th pick — The Bulls just traded homegrown former MVP Derrick Rose, so you’ve got to assume they’re riding with shooting guard Jimmy Butler as the new face of the franchise. Again, this would be a case where Selden could learn from a great guard, assuming Chicago doesn’t blow the whole thing up and trade Butler, too. Assuming the Bulls keep Butler, and Selden absorbs all the NBA knowledge he can from the rising star, it could prove great for Selden’s longevity and effectiveness in the years ahead. Detroit, 49th pick — A 23-year-old shooting guard coming off his best season, the Pistons’ Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is solidified as the team’s starter. But Detroit could use some bench help at the position, especially when since Jodie Meeks missed almost the entire 201415 season due to injury. Who knows how effective Meeks, a three-point specialist, will be next year. Selden could, in theory, be a more complete player than Meeks, thereby making up for what he lacks in professional experience. But if Meeks is at 100 percent and he produces from downtown, it would be

started pulling off the side. People were yelling. It was crazy. It did blow up. It did explode.” Greene didn’t have a great workout with the Jazz. He tried to play through a stomach virus, one not helped by the elevation of Salt Lake City. The Salt Lake Tribune writes: “He had to pause his workout multiple times. He had to stop in the middle of the Jazz 100 shooting drill, and when he returned he didn’t shoot the ball well. Despite this, the Jazz front office seemed understanding of Greene’s plight. They seemed impressed that he gutted it out, instead of stopping all together.” VP of player personnel Perrin told the Tribune: “He really struggled today, but a large part of that was the stomach virus. We have enough film on him from this season. It wasn’t the most perfect workout for him and for us. But we’ve seen a lot of him.”

Cards sweep at Wrigley The Associated Press

National League Cardinals 7, Cubs 2 Chicago — Michael Wacha pitched into the seventh inning for his first win in nearly two months, and St. Louis waited out Jake Arrieta before roughing up Chicago’s bullpen on Wednesday. Aledmys Diaz hit a two-run home run, and Matt Carpenter had a two-run double in a fiverun sixth after Arrieta (11-2) departed. The Cardinals won their eighth straight road game — their longest streak since 1982 — and completed their first three-game sweep at Wrigley Field since 1988. Arrieta was charged with two runs — one earned — and four hits in five innings as he struggled with control (four walks) and pitch count (106). Wacha (3-7) allowed two hits until rookie Willson Contreras’ oneout, two-run homer in the seventh ended his day as he snapped a sevengame skid. Contreras replaced Miguel Montero an inning earlier after the catcher twisted his right knee.
