School plan carries Lawrence tax break By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

Changes made to the school funding formula by the Kansas Legislature may not add much money to the Lawrence school district’s overall budget, but local taxpayers will see a break. The changes provide the Lawrence district more than $1.5 million in equalization aid, al-

The Kansas Supreme Court ruled in May that the way that aid was distributed was inequitable, and it gave the Legislature until the end of June to make changes or else risk closing schools.

Judge denies voter ID injunction Kansas residents must prove citizenship for national form, he rules Associated Press

Residents of Kansas, Georgia and Alabama will have to prove they are U.S. citizens when registering to vote for federal elections using a national form, a judge ruled Wednesday. U.S. District Judge Richard Leon sided against a coalition of voting rights groups that sued a U.S. elections official who changed the proofof-citizenship requirements on the federal registration form at the request of the three states and without public notice. Residents of other states only need to swear that they are citizens, not show proof. Newby The judge refused to issue a temporary injunction sought by voting rights advocates to overturn the move by Brian Newby, the executive director of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, until the case can be decided on its merits at trial. The decision is expected to be appealed. Newby took the top job in November at a government agency entrusted with making voting more accessible, and then months Please see VOTER, page 2A

Topeka — Mike King, secretary of the Kansas Department of Transportation, will resign effective July 15, Gov. Sam Brownback announced Wednesday. King has served as KDOT Secretary since 2012. “I am grateful for the vision and leadership of Mike King,” Brownback said in a

has said that states must accept and use the federal voter registration form, and an appeals court ruled in 2014 in a lawsuit filed by Kobach that states could not force the commission to require residents to provide proofof-citizenship documents on the national form. Leon said that “what lies at the heart of this case are the scope of the authority and the legality of the actions of an independent federal agency that is represented here by Executive Branch counsel who, for the most part, decline to defend it.” Newby contends he had the administrative authority to grant the request from the three states to add the documentary proof of citizenship requirements on the federal registration form used for their residents. But voting rights advocates were stunned by Newby’s February action, saying it flies in the face of the commission’s mission to provide a simple, easy form to encourage voter registration. The groups argue the proof-of-citizenship requirements hurt their ability to conduct voter registration drives and deprive eligible voters of the right to vote in federal elections. The little-known com-

mission was created in 2002 to help prevent a repeat of the disputed 2000 presidential election between George W. Bush and Al Gore following voting chaos in the crucial state of Florida. Among the commission’s duties is oversight of the national voter registration form. The federal body is supposed to have two Republican and two Democratic commissioners but has only one Democrat now because of a vacancy. The government has already conceded in a court filing that Newby and his agency likely cannot win the lawsuit on its merits because he never determined, as required by the National Voter Registration Act, that the documents were “necessary” to determine the eligibility of voters. The government noted that when Congress enacted the National Voting Registration Act it considered and specifically rejected requiring proof-of-citizenship documents when registering to vote. Newby is a former Kansas election official who was appointed to his state job by Kobach. As a Kansas official, Newby had publicly supported the state’s efforts to modify the federal form.

later used the federal position to implement the obstacle to voter registration in three states. The judge called the breadth of the preliminary injunction that was sought “truly astonishing,” saying the groups are asking the court to void Newby’s actions, order the EAC to reverse the changes he made to the federal form and withdraw Newby’s letters granting the states’ requests. “These demands are dramatized all the more by the fact the United States Department of Justice has somehow decided to consent to such remarkable relief!” Leon wrote. He also called it “a thinly veiled request” for what’s normally accorded in a final judgment. The American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas declined to comment, and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who intervened in the lawsuit on Newby’s behalf, did not immediately respond to an email or phone messages.

breath tests, distinguishing them from blood tests. The Kansas court in February struck down a state law making it a misdemeanor for motorists to refuse to take a breath, blood or urine test, punished by up to a year in jail and a fine of up to $1,250. Its finding, made in four separate cases, has been on hold since March. Schmidt said in a statement Tuesday that the Kansas court’s conclusion “appears inconsistent with the U.S. Supreme Court’s holding.” “We think the Kansas court’s conclusion must yield to that of the U.S. Supreme Court,” Schmidt said. Under Kansas law, anyone who operates a motor vehicle gives implied consent to breath, blood or urine testing to assess his or her sobriety. But the Kansas Supreme Court concluded that motorists are allowed to withdraw their consent when they’re stopped and that protections in the U.S. Constitution against unreasonable warrantless searches prevent the state from penalizing them.

AT&T has chosen Lawrence as one of the Kansas communities in which it will roll out new super-fast gigabit Internet service to businesses, the company announced Wednesday. Lawrence joins Coffeyville, Dodge City, Hutchinson, Kansas City, Pittsburg, Topeka and Wichita, where the gigabit service is now available. Gigabit service is the same type of high-speed broadband service that Google Fiber has received much attention for providing in parts of the Kansas City market. Google Fiber offers its gigabit services to residential customers, while the new Lawrence AT&T program is limited to businesses. Chris Lester, a spokesman for AT&T, said the service is available only at office locations that are properly wired for the gigabit service. But Lester said the company’s fiber network is extensive enough that businesses across Lawrence likely can receive the service if their office locations are properly equipped. “It is not really a neighborhood by neighborhood type of issue with the business service,” Lester said. “It is more about whether the building has the proper fiber installed.” The gigabit service is being touted as a major improvement over current broadband speeds. AT&T estimates that with gigabit service a business can download 8,000 pages of text documents in one second, or can back up a 1 terabyte hard drive in 2.5 hours. Mike Scott, who is president of AT&T Kansas and also a Lawrence resident, said AT&T has invested about $850 million in wireless and wireline networks in Kansas since 2013, which has made the gigabit offerings possible.

Owner: Jayhawk Bookstore building for sale or lease

he owner of the Jayhawk Bookstore building says it’s up for sale or lease. Bill Muggy owns the building at 1420 Crescent Road, just off the Kansas University campus at Crescent and Naismith Drive. Today the Jayhawk Bookstore will close its doors for good, leaving the prime

spot “at the top of the hill” that the bookstore has occupied since 1978 ripe for something new. Muggy also is the man who first started the Jayhawk Bookstore all those years ago. I didn’t reach him Tuesday in time to include in my story reporting that the bookstore —

now owned by the Levin family of Manhattan, which also owns Varney’s bookstore there — is going out of business. But Wednesday Muggy shared some additional history. In 1978 Muggy bought out a six-month-old business called University Shop, which sold KU garments and some school

supplies, and turned it into Jayhawk Bookstore, carrying texts for all courses. (Originally 1,800 square feet, he said, it’s now 9,500.) In 2010 Muggy sold the business to Nebraska Book Company, which sold it to the Levin family in 2013. Please see BOOKSTORE, page 5A

Festival CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

The 2016 Free State Festival, which was held June 20 through June 25 in various venues across downtown Lawrence and the city’s Cultural Arts District, drew its biggest numbers at June 25’s free Public Enemy concert outside the Lawrence Arts Center. At final count, approximately 8,500 people attended the show, surpassing the crowd at last year’s free performance by George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic by about 500. “We were really excited to see so many people from out of town coming in for both Public Enemy and Kris Kristofferson,” Bishop said. “It really drew people from a wide swath surrounding the area.” Other festival highlights included June 24’s evening of free live music outside the Lawrence Arts Center (Bishop estimates an attendance of about 2,000) and Monday’s stand-up performance by “Lady Dynamite” star Maria Bamford, whose sold-out gig packed Liberty Hall. Even free events, like the weeklong “The Art of Conversation” programming at the Watkins Museum of History, did surprisingly well, Bishop said. The talks aligned with this year’s festival theme of activism through art, each day dealing with contemporary topics such as gender and sexuality, health policy, race and law enforcement, and the politics of water. “People were really engaged and enthusiastic,” Bishop said. While the festival has focused on Kansas history and culture in the past, the 2017 and 2018 editions will ask “audiences to think about how the global and local connect,” as per a $50,000 grant from the National Endowment for Arts to “take the festival to an international level,” Bishop said. The 2017 festival, which will most likely fall amid June’s Final Friday events, will tentatively have a Mexican emphasis, with issues like immigration being especially timely, Bishop said. “We’re thinking about the ways in which Lawrence connects with Mexico, the ways in which Mexican culture manifests here in Lawrence, Kansas, and the really interesting art that’s being (created) in Mexico,” she said. Bishop also plans to include more educational outreach programs in 2017, ideally working with students at Centro Hispano to produce bilingual films. This year’s festival initially received $60,000 from the City of Lawrence, falling short of the $100,000 requested by festival organizers, but later picked up an additional $7,375 from the city’s transient guest tax (that’s the 6 percent tax charged on all overnight hotel stays in Lawrence) grant program. Bishop hopes this year’s high attendance, particularly of those visiting from outside Lawrence, will help convince potential funders of the festival’s financial viability. Sally Zogry, executive director of Downtown Lawrence Inc., said she had yet to see any detailed information on the 2016 festival’s impact on downtown businesses, but that the event consistently “does wonderful things” for the local economy. “It really does bring people down here who maybe don’t come downtown as often, if they’re living across town or in Eudora or Baldwin City or Topeka or even Kansas City,” Zogry said.

County OKs moving forward on jail expansion design By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

Douglas County commissioners approved moving ahead Wednesday with the design of a possible Douglas County Jail remodel and expansion despite hearing from a handful of residents the move was premature. Commissioners unanimously approved an amendment to Treanor Architects’ contract for the jail project, which will allow it to complete the first two of five components of the jail’s fifth and final design phase. The work, for which Treanor will receive $518,000, will consist of the completion of schematic designs and the design development stage of planning for the mechanical, plumbing, electrical, structural, security and other systems needed for the project. Treanor has completed the first four phases of its design contract for the jail. In January, the firm presented preliminary footprints and conceptual renderings of the jail expansion, which would add 120 beds to the existing 187-bed facility at an estimated cost of $30 million. On Wednesday, five members of the public took the podium at the commission meeting to question the timing of further design work on the jail while the Douglas Community Criminal Justice

Justice council advised to study incarceration alternatives, race Coordinating Council was looking at possible ways to divert inmates to alternative placements. They maintained the coordinating council’s work could result in policies and practices that could significantly change the jail’s design and reduce the number of beds needed. Commissioners responded that design work could go forward on components of the jail expansion and remodel identified as needed from nearly three years of county review of the issue. They said some of those known needs reflect changes in the jail’s populations that have occurred since it was designed two decades ago, such as the increase in the daily population of female inmates from four to 40. There is also the need to add elements that will make the facility more efficient, like a proposed pod in which newly incarcerated inmates could be observed before they were placed in the proper security sections, commissioners said. The work of Treanor Architects wouldn’t be premature because it would be done in conjunction with that of the co-

ordinating council, commissioners said. Commissioner Mike Gaughan, who serves as chairman of the coordinating council, said the council’s recommendations would be “fundamental” to the design work. The additional design work would provide more accurate cost estimates for the project, which would be critical should the county place a ballot question on the project before voters, commissioners said. Commission Chairman Jim Flory said Treanor only would be asked to move on to the next design stage, the completion of bid-ready plans, should voters approve the project. Flory restated the county commission’s decision to place on the same ballot question the jail expansion and a mental health crisis intervention center. Treanor was awarded the contract to design the crisis center in January. Commissioners agreed Wednesday to schedule a work session on that facility for 4 p.m. July 20. In addition to the jail expansion and crisis center, the third prong of the county’s approach to criminal justice reform pro-

posal is a mental health court. Commissioners scheduled a work session on a proposed mental health court pilot program for 4 p.m. July 6.

Criminal justice council Members of the Douglas County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council were told at their Tuesday meeting that the body should look further into alternatives to incarceration in the Douglas County Jail for misdemeanor offenses and factors leading to a disproportionately high number of people of color being jailed. Consultants Jason Matejkowski and Margaret Severson, both of Kansas University’s School of Social Welfare, delivered the remarks after giving a report on a spike in the jail’s population in the past two years. Also Tuesday, coordinating council members unanimously approved the nomination of KU professor Charles Epp to a position on the council. Epp is a professor in KU’s department of African and African-American Studies and its School of Public Affairs and Administration. The Douglas County Commission approved the nomination at its meeting Wednesday. — County reporter Elvyn Jones can be reached at 832-7166 and ejones@ljworld.com.

BRIEFLY Murder suspect, 17, pleads grandmother, was 16 at the time. faces a single count of firstnot guilty to 2 new charges He degree murder in juvenile court

A 17-year-old Lawrence boy accused of killing his grandmother last December pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to two new felony charges. The boy, Jaered Long, was arrested in late December after police found his 67-year-old grandmother, Deborah Bretthauer, dead in her apartment with “obvious traumatic injuries.” Long, who lived in the apartment with his

Depot

and has pleaded not guilty to the charge. Prosecutors have requested that he be tried as an adult. Now Long faces two felony counts of battery against a law enforcement officer for separate incidents. He is accused of battering juvenile detention center employees on May 12 and June 9. Douglas County District Court Judge James George accepted Long’s not-guilty pleas Wednes-

day and scheduled him to be back in court on Aug. 3 at 1 p.m., when a date will be selected for a trial. Court proceedings regarding the murder charge itself have been stayed pending the results of a competency evaluation by Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center.

Man dies from injuries suffered in motorbike crash A Lawrence man has died from injuries suffered in a single-vehicle

motorcycle accident Saturday in Missouri. James Sneegas, 66, died early Wednesday afternoon at University of Missouri Hospital in Columbia, Mo., his son Parish Sneegas said. According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, around 6 p.m. Saturday the elder Sneegas lost control of his motorcycle on a wet road just north of Bland, Mo. The motorcycle left the roadway and hit a rock bluff, the patrol report said. Bland is located southeast of Jefferson City, Mo. quickly as they can, but they don’t have a local presence here.” Renovation plans for the depot include a new roof, heating and cooling systems, electrical work, masonry repairs, landscaping and repairs to the parking lot and sidewalks. The grant for the project is federal money awarded by the Kansas Department of Transportation. The cost to the city of operating and maintaining the station has been estimated at about $54,000. While the station will continue to be used by Amtrak, it could also be open to the public during times other than when the train rolls through, McGuire said.

the city to move forward with an agreement that allows Amtrak to lease the depot, but allow the city to use the building during times Amtrak is not. Those agreements all have to be executed at the same time, and what’s holding up the transfer is “centimeters and inches,” said Brandon McGuire, assistant to the city manager. Before it signs an agreement, Amtrak, which will still lease and use the facility, must ensure the city’s plans meet federal accessibility standards. There’s been back-and-forth with the city, which wants the renovations to also meet requirements for historic preservation because the grant depends on it. “We’re literally talking centimeters and inches, and when you get down to that level of detail… it’s been a bureaucratic

process,” McGuire said. “We’re working with folks in Philadelphia and Chicago and the Dallas area, so it’s all by conference call and emails and letters; it’s taken awhile.” McGuire said he couldn’t speculate on when the agreements would be finalized, noting it could take “a couple more weeks or quite a bit longer.” In April, the City Commission had to approve a 24-month extension for the project’s site plan, so it wouldn’t expire. And while negotiations continue, it recently came to the city’s attention that the depot’s air conditioning unit is broken, leaving passengers to wait in the heat for trains that come through once in the morning and once at night. Because the depot hasn’t yet changed hands,

the city was able only to notify Amtrak’s district manager for the area, who is not locally stationed. City officials have done the same when lights on the sign went out and when the grass needed to be mowed, McGuire said. Amtrak usually contacts local contractors to make the repairs. A representative for Amtrak could not be reached Wednesday. “It’s really challenging and frustrating for us when we see things like that and we have this beautiful property that serves as a functioning passenger rail system and we know the AC is out in the middle of a heat wave and we can’t do anything about it,” McGuire said. “We would be very responsive to that if we had the ownership of the building. I think Amtrak responds to those as

Artists invited to sing their ‘Greatest Hits’ ABC revs up the way-back machine. Hosted by Arsenio Hall and Kelsea Ballerini, the six-episode series “Greatest Hits” (8 p.m., TV-PG) invites artists to perform popular numbers from their past. Every show concentrates on a fiveyear period from the 1980s to the 21st century. Tonight’s block from 1980 to ’85 features songs performed by Ray Parker Jr., Jason Derulo, Kenny Loggins, Kim Carnes, Rick Springfield and Kool and The Gang. REO Speedw a g o n performs “Keep on L o v i n g You” and a duet with Pitbull. This marks a departure from series like “American Idol” and “The Voice,” where unknowns sing familiar favorites — either in a new and original fashion or, to use Simon Cowell’s disdainful term, like a “karaoke” imitation. On “Greatest Hits” there’s little room for deviation from the original, because the artists are back after three decades to please their fans. This follows a trend on ABC’s summer game show/variety onslaught of minimizing the participation of “ordinary” contestants in favor of celebrities major and minor. ABC repeats its “new” version of “Match Game” (9 p.m., TV-14). Alec Baldwin hosts with all of the enthusiasm of somebody serving out a sentence of community service. The show’s attitude toward “civilian” contestants is obvious from the get-go. The first player to be introduced gushes excessively about her backyard “friends,” including a happy opossum. The second begins her day making breakfast “cereal” out of double-stuffed cookies. Aren’t they special! One has to wonder what “30 Rock” star Baldwin did to land him in this witless purgatory. O The Denis Leary vehicle “Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll” (9 p.m., FX, TV-MA) returns for a second season. For the uninitiated, “Sex” stars Leary as dissipated punk star Johnny Rock, whose band, The Heathens, produced exactly one album before disintegrating in the wake of his excesses. A quarter century later, the band’s revival coincides with the rise of Rock’s estranged daughter, Gigi (Elizabeth Gillies). She lends her talents and youth appeal to the crusty band on the condition that her dad give up his lead singer position to become her songwriter and mentor. Tonight’s other highlights

Housing asset KU is rightfully proud of its unique and popular scholarship hall system.

he ongoing effort to revitalize older scholarship halls at Kansas University is a smart investment in a unique and special student community. The first two scholarship halls — Miller and Watkins — were established in the 1920s for women students thanks to financing from one of the community’s most generous early philanthropists, Elizabeth Miller Watkins. The first men’s hall, Battenfeld, was opened in 1940. The scholarship hall system more than doubled during the 1950s with construction of Douthart and Sellards halls for women and Pearson, Stephenson and Grace Pearson for men. Several other buildings served as scholarship halls for periods ranging from a few years to a few decades, but after the closing of Jolliffe Hall in 1969, the scholarship hall community on the east side of campus was made up of the eight halls, which housed about 400 students. The halls are cooperative living groups in which residents cook, clean and perform other duties in exchange for reduced housing fees. Each hall houses about 50 students who become a closeknit group within their own hall and part of the larger scholarship hall community. KU officials say some other universities have one or two scholarship halls, but KU is the only school they know of that has a whole system of halls. Former residents, who wanted future KU students to enjoy the special atmosphere of that living arrangement, fueled a resurgence in the scholarship hall system in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Four new halls — K.K. Amini, Margaret Amini, Krehbiel and Rieger were built — all with major donations from former scholarship hall residents. KU now is in the middle of a $15 million project to upgrade the older scholarship halls. Stephenson, Pearson, Sellards and Douthart were renovated in 2014 and 2015, and construction currently is underway at Miller and Watkins. Grace Pearson and Battenfeld are scheduled for upgrades in the next two years. According to KU officials, the goal of the heating, cooling, plumbing and electrical improvements is to keep the older halls in operation for 30 or 40 years. Hopefully, they will be part of KU for much longer than that. The scholarship hall system is a unique asset that deserves the support of KU officials and alumni.

WWI turned on battle of Somme “See that little stream? We could walk to it in two minutes. It took the British a month to walk to it — a whole empire walking very slowly, dying in front and pushing forward behind.” — F. Scott Fitzgerald, “Tender Is The Night” Washington — The walk began at 7:30 a.m., July 1, 1916, when British infantry advanced toward German trenches. In the first hours, eight British soldiers fell per second. By nightfall 19,240 were dead, another 38,230 were wounded. World War I, the worst manmade disaster in human experience, was the hinge of modern history. The war was the incubator of Communist Russia, Nazi Germany, World War II and innumerable cultural consequences. The hinge of this war was the battle named for “that little stream,” the river Somme. The scything fire of machine guns could not be nullified even by falling curtains of metal from creeping artillery barrages that moved in advance of infantry. Geoff Dyer, in “The Missing of the Somme,” notes: “By the time of the great battles of attrition of 1916-17 mass graves were dug in advance of major offenses. Singing columns of soldiers fell grimly silent as they marched by these gaping pits en route to the front-line trenches.” William Philpott’s judicious assessment in “Three

But because of this battle, which broke Germany’s brittle confidence, the war’s outcome was discernible. Not so its reverberations …” Armies on the Somme: The First Battle of the Twentieth Century” is that the Somme was “the cradle of modern combat,” proving that industrial war could only be won by protracted attrition. And hence by the new science of logistics. The 31 trains a day required to supply the British at the Somme became 70 when the offensive began. The romance of chivalric warfare died at the Somme, which was what the Germans called Materialschlacht, a battle of materials more than men. Geographic objectives — land seized — mattered less than the slow exhaustion of a nation’s material and human resources, civilians as well as soldiers. In the next world war, the distinction between the

front lines and the home front would be erased. In 1918, Randolph Bourne, witnessing the mass mobilization of society, including its thoughts, distilled into seven words the essence of the 20th century: “War is the health of the state.” Relations between government, the economy and the individual were forever altered, to the advantage of government. Military necessity is the most prolific mother of invention, and World War I was, Philpott writes, “a war of invention,” pitting “scientificindustrial complexes” against each other: “Gas, flamethrowers, grenade-launchers, submachine guns, trench mortars and cannon, fighter and bomber aircraft, tanks and self-propelled artillery all made their battlefield debuts between 1914 and 1918.” Attritional war had begun in earnest at Verdun, which occupies in France’s memory a place comparable to that of the Somme in British memory. And the Somme offensive was begun in part to reduce pressure on Verdun and to demonstrate that Britain was bearing its share of the war’s burden. In December 1915, Winston Churchill, then 41, said, “In this war the tendencies are far more important than the episodes. Without winning any sensational victories we may win this war.” The war itself may have been begun by a concatena-

tion of blunders, but once begun it was worth winning, and the Somme, this “linear siege” (Philpott), set the tendency for that. Germany, trying to slow the trans-Atlantic flow of materiel, resorted to unrestricted submarine warfare, which, five months after the Somme ended, brought the United States into the war and, in a sense, into the world. Thomas Hardy’s description of the 1813 Battle of Leipzig — “a miles-wide pant of pain” — fit the battle of the Somme, where a soldier wrote, “From No Man’s Land ... comes one great groan.” The Somme ended on Nov. 18, with men drowning in glutinous lakes of clinging mud sometimes five feet deep. By November a million men on both sides were dead — 72,000 British and Commonwealth bodies were never recovered — or wounded. Twenty-two miles of front had been moved six miles. But because of this battle, which broke Germany’s brittle confidence, the war’s outcome was discernible. Not so its reverberations, one of which was an Austrian corporal whose Bavarian unit deployed to the Somme on Oct. 2. Adolf Hitler was wounded on his third day in the line. The battle of the Somme is, in Dyer’s words, “deeply buried in its own aftermath.” As is Europe, still. — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

OLD HOME TOWN

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for June 30, 1916: “Last week while tearing down an old shed at the rear of his years home at Oskaloosa, Henry Deckago er noticed a small opening that IN 1916 had been cut in the floor and afterwards boarded up. When the floor had been removed he dug into the ground. Within a foot or two of the top he found several small bones somewhat resembling the bones from a human finger. He next dug into a human skull.... Dr. Smith looked at it and pronounced it to be a human skull. The top of the skull has the appearance of having been sawed off as though the brain had been removed.... It is said that some years ago while the house was being remodeled a large roll of United States paper money was found between the walls but mice or rats had destroyed it to such an extent that it could not be told of what denomination the bills were. In the meantime Mr. Decker has a human skull and a mystery on his hands.”

All women’s right to choose By Heidi Stevens Chicago Tribune

Monday was a banner day for women exercising agency over their own bodies: The Supreme Court struck down abortion clinic restrictions in Texas — and Trump girls broke the internet. (I mean, they tried. I didn’t personally experience any slowdown in my usual internet service. You?) Doesn’t matter. They made their point, which is that several hot women support Donald Trump for president. They snapped pictures of themselves in not much clothing, displaying symbols of their love for Trump (Make America Great Again hats, copies of his books, Trump Rump undies, etc.) and shared them on social media with the hashtag #TrumpGirlsBreakTheInternet. If sex appeal is your currency and you want to spend it trying to get Trump elected, you be you. I saw a whole lot of criticism that took aim at their intellect, but I think they’re pretty smart, to be honest. They’ve got this culture’s number. Taking your clothes off — most of them anyway — is the fastest way to send your cause trending. Do I love that reality? No. Is it still the reality? Yes. Does it mean conservatives don’t value smart women?

“

If sex appeal is your currency and you want to spend it trying to get Trump elected, you be you.”

No. Remember Obama Girl? Model Amber Lee Ettinger, also wearing not much clothing, lip synced to “I Got A Crush … on Obama” in a 2007 video that’s been viewed almost 27 million times on YouTube. It featured such lyrics as, “Universal Healthcare reform, it makes me warm. You tell the truth unlike the right. You can love, but you can fight. You can Barack me tonight.” She became a sensation overnight. Welcome to the 2016 version. This time they’re Republicans. I have a harder time imagining why a woman would support Trump than I do imagining why she would try to break the internet with that support. He mercilessly mocks women’s looks when they disagree with him (or when they’re married to his opponents), and refers to women as “bimbo,” “dog” and “fat pig.” He jokes about dating his own daughter. He supports a ban on abortion and told MSNBC’s Chris

Matthews that women should be subject to “some kind of punishment” if they seek an abortion in spite of a ban. He accused rival Hillary Clinton of playing “the woman’s card.” He once told ABC News that his marriage to Ivana failed when she started to work outside the home. “I have days where I think it’s great,” he said. “And I have days where, if I come home — and I don’t want to sound too much like a chauvinist — but when I come home and dinner’s not ready, I go through the roof.” His immigration policies would tear apart countless families. That stuff bugs me. It bugs a lot of women. Seven in 10 women have an unfavorable opinion of the guy, according to a recent Gallup poll. But if you look at Trump’s track record and policy platforms and think, “He’s my guy,” then I wholeheartedly support your right to campaign for him however you see fit. Clothing optional. If we’re going to celebrate a Supreme Court ruling that protects a woman’s right to control her own body, we can’t logically wring our hands over a group of women — that very same day — controlling what they do with theirs. — Heidi Stevens is a columnist for the Chicago Tribune. Her email address is hstevens@tribpub.com.

To the editor: One of the major pitfalls of American politics is the biased influence of mainstream media on elections, as Amy Goodman of the Democracy Now news network so concisely articulated in an online commentary back in April (https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=iIUMxyEgxCo). It seems that when a two-party system is so strongly entrenched in the public, media and political paradigms, it is exceedingly difficult for alternative voices to be heard. At the same time, in this election, the presumptive nominees of the Democratic and Republican parties each have the highest reported unfavorable ratings in history: 55 percent and 70 percent, respectively, according to a recent poll. Sadly, much of the populace feels “stuck” with them as the only viable candidates. No wonder so few citizens bother to vote. Fortunately, the majority of voters are interested in other options for president. In a May 18 Data Targeting poll, 55 percent of Americans said they would favor an independent challenger to Trump and Clinton. This demonstrates that the American people are craving legitimate third-party options such as Jill Stein’s Green Party campaign, which is recently gaining a lot of momentum with its fresh, progressive platform. In a June 21 CNN poll, 7 percent of voters said they would vote for Stein. In a democratic society, the media should take seriously their responsibility to inform voters about their choices on the ballot. For this reason, the JournalWorld should offer balanced coverage of Jill Stein and Green Party initiatives. Ben Cropp, Lawrence

BRAVO 52 237 129 Million Dollar HIST

$1 for every $1,000 of that assessed value. Under the school district’s current tax rate, the owner of a home valued at $160,000 pays about $1,055 in property tax per year toward the district. The 1.5 mill decrease amounts to about $28 less per year for that owner. The state funding changes essentially walk back reductions to equalization aid made by state lawmakers last year. Those reductions were part of the reason the Lawrence school board voted last summer to increase the school district’s property tax rate by 1.6 mills. The funding changes do not affect the amount of state aid going toward the district’s general fund — one of its most flexible sources of revenue — which will remain at the same level as the current year. However, Johnson said that because the district is expecting an increase in student enrollment next school year, flat funding amounts to less funds to operate with. “It’s a little bit difficult because we’re growing and we’re not receiving any new dollars to assist or help with the growth of enrollment in the district,” Johnson said. The funding plan will result in some new money for the district. As part of the changes, the district will see an increase of $656,000 in state aid toward its capital outlay fund. Those funds can only be used for capital expenses, such as building, equipment and technology maintenance, as

Lawmakers are expected to write a new school funding formula during the 2017 session. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court will review another element of the state’s funding formula dealing with adequacy. “I think we’re just happy that schools aren’t being closed and we can at least move ahead and see what the next step is,” Johnson said.

opposed to the district’s day-to-day operations, Johnson said. In order to reinstate the equalization aid, legislators needed to generate about $38 million. A portion of that amount was generated through a $2.8 million reduction in state aid for virtual schools. That change cost the Lawrence school district nearly $640,000. Johnson said that reduction affects more than just virtual students. “The funds generated from these enrolled students goes into the general operating budget that can be used for both virtual students and brick and mortar students,” Johnson explained.

The daughter of Siddik Turgan, a man who was killed in the airport attack Tuesday, reacts as her father’s coffin is carried by during his funeral Wednesday in Istanbul. Suicide bombers targeted Istanbul’s airport, killing more than 40 people. Turkey’s government declared Wednesday a day of national mourning, blaming the attack on Islamic State jihadis.

ISTANBUL A new security regimen at Ataturk airport helped disrupt the plans of three terrorists looking to penetrate deeper into the terminal and wreak more havoc, Turkey’s prime minister said Wednesday. The attackers’ suicide bombs killed 42 people, but an encounter with guards at the terminal’s doorway forced them to split up and set off the explosives earlier than planned. The attack at the airport Tuesday wounded more than 230 people, but it could have been much worse. “When the terrorists couldn’t pass the regular security system, when they couldn’t pass the scanners, police and security controls, they returned and took out their weapons out of their suitcases and opened fire at random at the security check,” Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said. The new approach of placing armed officers directly outside the facility came after bombings in Brussels at an airport and nearby subway station killed 32 people in March. Brussels’ airport was shuttered for weeks after suicide attackers detonated bombs at a check-in area, causing extensive damage. The explosions in Istanbul caused far less damage, and the airport reopened early Wednesday. The Turkey attack should serve as a warning, CIA Director John Brennan said Wednesday. “I’d be surprised if (ISIL) is not trying to carry out that kind of at-

ASPEN, COLO. A leader of the Black Lives Matter movement warned that activists are prepared to protest the platform at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia next month, citing the congressional sit-in on the House floor last week over gun control as a possible model. “There are two things that I’m mindful of: One is that I’ve not seen a draft or a final version of the platform from the Democratic convention committee, and I think that will have a big bearing on how people mobilize,” DeRay Mckesson told Capital Download. “The second is that Congress just sat in, so it’ll be interesting to see how the DNC responds to people in protest, given that congress-

men literally just sat in, and they seemed to validate that.” His comments signal that Republican Donald Trump isn’t the only candidate who has to worry about disruptions and demands from within the party at its national convention. Though Clinton has the nomination clinched, rival Bernie Sanders hasn’t formally endorsed her, and Mckesson expressed reservations about her commitment to criminal jus-

Black Lives Matter staged protests at campaign events during the primaries, and Mckesson was among the group’s leaders who met with Clinton last fall to discuss their concerns. “I would not say that this is an

I think it bleeds into so many other things. So you think about, what does it mean that you have to sort of fight a nominee to come out with a criminal-justice platform, to come out with a platform about racial inequality, to come out and talk about these things? v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Bye, bikini: Miss Teen USA ends swimsuit competition Athletic wear portion added to pageant Maeve McDermott

@maeve_mcdermott USATODAY

One of America’s highest-profile beauty pageants got a modern update. The Miss Universe organization announced Wednesday that the Miss Teen USA pageant will no longer include a swimsuit competition. Instead, the 51 women (from the 50 states plus the District of Columbia) will be

judged in an athletic wear competition. “This new direction for Miss Teen USA is a great way to celebrate the active lives that so many young women lead and set a strong example for our peers,” reigning Miss Teen USA Katherine Haik told USA TODAY. The move is consistent with the rebranding of the Miss Universe Organization under WMEIMG, the talent agency that purchased it from Donald Trump in September. The sale came after NBC and Univision dropped the broadcast of Miss USA following comments the Republican presidential candidate made regarding

illegal immigrants. In keeping with the new tagline, “Confidently Beautiful,” Miss USA celebrated women typically outside the Miss Universe mold this month, featuring its first competitor with hearing disabilities and crowning an Army officer — Miss District of Columbia Deshauna Barber — its winner. “If they are looking to expand, this is a very shrewd move. It’s consistent with the overall brand and message the new owners are talking about,” pageant coach Valerie Hayes said. “I think that it will cause more parents to be open to their daughters competing.”

Teen Vogue’s digital deputy editor, Amanda Chan, said social media engagement around the magazine’s stories of body diversity reaffirmed her belief that this generation of young women values individuality and expression over conformity. “Every body is a swimsuit body,” Chan said. “Emphasizing happiness, health and strength is always going to be a more positive message for teen girls than emphasizing what you may look like in a swimsuit. ” The Miss Teen USA pageant will be in Las Vegas on July 30.

States raise gas taxes ahead of holiday Bart Jansen @ganjansen USA TODAY

Washington and Maryland will boost their gas taxes Friday — and New Jersey is about to approve a big hike this week — as travel-industry experts project the lowest gas prices in a decade and record travelers on the road for the Independence Day holiday. The New Jersey Assembly approved a 23-cent per gallon hike Tuesday. The state Senate will consider the proposal this week. Gov. Chris Christie said he hopes to sign the legislation, which also would reduce the state sales tax from 7% to 6%, by Thursday. The gas tax, which had been among the country’s lowest, would reach 37.5 cents per gallon. Christie said the legislative package would provide the first statewide tax reduction since 1994, while still boosting dedicated funding for roads, bridges and transit systems. “It seems like a fairly powerful combination to me,” he said. Washington and Maryland already have gas hikes certain for the holiday. The increases come as AAA projects the average price of $2.31 per gallon for the holiday weekend, the lowest since 2005. Washington state will raise the rate 4.9 cents per gallon, the second part of an increase from last year to yield an overall rate of 49.4 cents per gallon. Maryland’s rate is rising 0.9 cents, to 30.3 cents per gallon. The rate has been rising under a 2013 formula that accounts for inflation. Three states will cut their rates. California’s rate drops 2.2 cents to leave a rate of 27.8 cents per gallon. Nebraska will reduce its rate 1 cent, to 25.8 cents per gallon. The cut followed an increase Jan. 1 of 0.7 cents per gallon. North Carolina also will cut its rate 1 cent, to 35 cents per gallon. The federal gas tax of 18.4 cents per gallon has remained the same since 1993. Advocates of greater highway and bridge construction have urged an increase in the federal tax, but Congress has refused to raise the rate, and instead channeled funding in December for the latest highway bill from other streams such as Federal Reserve funds and petroleum reserves.

Justice Dept. assisting with RNC security amid concerns Cleveland has made adjustments as large protests are expected Kevin Johnson USA TODAY

WASHINGTON The Justice Department dispatched a delegation of law enforcement officials to Cleveland earlier this month to meet with local police officials amid persistent concerns about the city’s readiness to secure the upcoming Republican National Convention. Ronald Davis, director of the department’s Community Oriented Policing Services office, said the group, which included senior police officials from Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Tampa, Charlotte and Seattle, was part of the department’s “critical response” unit designed to provide needed technical assistance to law enforcement and public safety authorities. The day-long session in Cleveland, where thousands of protesters are expected to descend next month as Donald Trump officially claims the Republican presidential nomination, marked the first time the unit, created in 2013, was dispatched to deal with a political convention. Davis said the group was assembled based on its collective experience in dealing with major events, including the recent visit of Pope Francis to the

The “event zone” in Cleveland, site of the Republican National Convention, has been reduced to accommodate protesters. U.S., which drew hundreds of thousands of people to appearances in Washington, New York and Philadelphia. Cleveland, however, represents perhaps an even more complicated scenario, as protesters from a constellation of often-conflicting causes are expected to vie for the attention of convention delegates and control of a national stage. Civil rights advocates had expressed serious concerns about the city’s preparations, suggesting that officials were inviting clashes between police and protesters by restricting protesters’ access to the convention site and other areas of the city.

In a step toward easing those restrictions Wednesday and resolving a legal challenge brought by the ACLU of Ohio, the city agreed to reduce the size of the downtown event zone from 3.5 square miles to 1.7 square miles. Municipal authorities also agreed to alter the route for protest marches to pass closer to the convention site at Quicken Loans Arena, ACLU spokesman Steve David said. The revisions, primarily the reduction of the designated event zone, is expected to free up access to sites closer to the convention for protesters and the public. The legal challenge, which is expected

to be formally resolved as soon as next week, was brought on behalf of such disparate interests as Citizens for Trump and advocates for the homeless. “This agreement prevents the 2016 RNC from being defined by an unnecessary conflict between freedom and security,” said Christine Link, ACLU of Ohio’s executive director. “The new rules ensure that people have meaningful opportunities to express themselves on some of our most important national issues.” It wasn’t immediately clear Wednesday how the new access provisions would affect the convention security plan, a far-flung operation that has been in development for months. Convention preparations have posed a range of challenges for local authorities, from drawing hundreds of police officers from other agencies to assist with security to the required coordination with the U.S. Secret Service, which oversees the event. In an interview this month, Cleveland Deputy Police Chief Wayne Drummond said preparations were proceeding on schedule to accommodate a large and active protest movement. “Individuals can come and they can exercise their constitutional rights,’’ Drummond said. “My concern is for the individuals who step outside those bounds. In the city of Cleveland, we will not tolerate that.’’

tack in the United States,” Brennan told Yahoo! News. “It’s not that difficult to actually construct and fabricate a suicide vest … so if you have a determined enemy and individuals who are not concerned about escape, that they are going into it with a sense that they are going to die, that really does complicate your strategy in terms of preventing attacks.” Security experts recommend posting armed officers such as police or National Guard members at terminal doors to confront suspicious people before they enter the building. No group claimed responsibility for the Istanbul operation, but authorities suspected the Islamic State was behind the assault. The three attackers arrived at the lower-level arrivals hall; one went inside, opened fire, then detonated his explosives, an Interior Ministry official and another official told the Associated Press. During the chaos, a second attacker went upstairs to departures and blew himself up. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the investigation. The third man waited outside during the whole episode and detonated his explosives last as people flooded out of the airport, the officials said. “This attack, targeting inno-

cent people is a vile, planned terrorist act,” Yildirim said at the scene early Wednesday, the Dogan news agency reported. President Obama phoned Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday to express his condolences. He pledged to dismantle “organizations of hate,” saying the attack showed how little these “vicious organizations” have to offer. The dead included foreigners, three of them with dual citizenship. There were five Saudis, two Iraqis and individuals from China, Jordan, Tunisia, Uzbekistan, Iran and Ukraine, Reuters reported. Faed Mustafa, the Palestinian

ambassador to Turkey, said a Palestinian woman was killed and six people from the territories were injured, according to the Associated Press. The U.S. State Department advised Americans to be “situationally aware” if they’re in Turkey. Thousands of weary travelers, whose flights were canceled by the attack, began returning to the

airport — a major transit point for tourists — at 2:20 a.m., when flights and departure resumed. Debris littered the international hall amid chaotic scenes as travelers tried in vain to figure out when their flights were due to depart. “Our flight is supposed to be on time, but right now, we don’t even have a gate number because the flights are just a mess,” said Brian Degitz, 28, a teacher from the USA. He spoke an hour before he was scheduled to board a flight home with his wife, Ilayda. “There were a lot of flights canceled, so there are a lot of people who have been here all night,” Degitz said. “The mood is very morose, it’s really just kind of down. The atmosphere just doesn’t feel normal at all.” Leaders around the world condemned the attack Wednesday. In a public blessing at midday, Pope Francis said he was praying for the victims, their families “and the dear Turkish people.” “May the Lord convert the hearts of the violent ones and support our efforts toward the path of peace,” he said. “My thoughts are with the families of the victims, those injured and the people of Turkey,” said Jens Stoltenberg, NATO’s secretary-general. “There can be no justification for terrorism.” Contributing: Doug Stanglin in McLean, Va., and Bart Jansen in Washington

“I was at her (campaign) launch in Roosevelt Island, and she talked about, you know, work schedules for working families. It wasn’t like she wasn’t talking about issues. She just wasn’t talking about issues of race.” Mckesson said protests also were likely at the Republican convention in Cleveland. But they could be more consequential at the Democratic convention in Philadelphia because they could resonate with two voter groups crucial to the party’s coalition: African Americans and young people. Clinton has had strong support from black voters in the primaries, but she’s struggled to reach Millennials, who overwhelmingly supported Sanders. At their meeting, Mckesson said, he cautioned Clinton that she couldn’t count on antipathy to Trump to turn out black voters. “I said, ‘Hillary, I worry that you are underestimating how many people plan to sit this out because they are disillusioned,’ ” he said. “And if the DNC (Democratic National Committee) and if Hillary’s camp don’t help people see her as a real choice, despite their misgivings about her, I think this will be more of an uphill battle than it already is.” If the Democratic platform doesn’t endorse a $15-an-hour minimum wage, strong criminal justice provisions and community oversight of police departments, “I think that you will see protests around the issues,” he said. He credited Clinton with proposals to address the wealth gap between whites and minorities and to increase funding for civil rights enforcement by the Justice Department. He indicated that Black Lives Matter intends to keep pressure on Clinton if she is elected president. “She will not be able to govern without a coalition of people of color,” he said. “She won’t be able to get elected without black people or Latinos. She won’t be able to govern without them. It is unfortunate that it took so much pressure for the platform to be responsive to those communities.” NOW SHOWING AT USATODAY.COM

‘THREE AMIGOS’

TAKE ON DONALD TRUMP’S POLICIES AT SUMMIT IN OTTAWA

BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI , AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, left, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and President Obama each shared thoughts about Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump.

Presumptive GOP nominee overshadows agenda Gregory Korte @gregorykorte USA TODAY

Donald Trump was not at the “Three Amigos” summit of North American leaders Wednesday, but his presence hung over the continental conference. The leaders of the United States, Canada and Mexico took turns rebutting the Republican presidential candidate’s proposals on trade and immigration. As they met in Ottawa, Trump was 340 miles away in Bangor, Maine, promising to build a wall at the Mexican border and get the United States out of the North American Free Trade Agreement that forms the basis of economic coWASHINGTON

operation among the three countries. In what he acknowledged as a news conference-ending “rant,” President Obama took a whack at Trump’s populist credentials, painting the billionaire real estate mogul as part of the global elite. “Now somebody else who has never shown any regard for workers, who has never fought on behalf of social justice issues,” Obama said, “they don’t suddenly become a populist because they say something controversial in order to win votes. That’s not the measure of populism. That’s nativism or xenophobia or worse. Or it’s just cynicism.” In a three-way news conference, reporters asked questions about Trump to all three leaders, each of whom echoed a theme:

Increased trade and integration is good for all three countries. Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto compared anti-global ideologies with that of 20th century dictators, and urged people not to “choose the road toward isolationism and destruction.” In the context of an international summit, the three leaders were careful not to engage too directly in U.S. politics. Both Justin Trudeau and Peña Nieto gave diplomatic assurances that they would work with whomever U.S. voters elected. And even Obama tried to help them off the hook, noting that he’d demur too in their position. “When I visit other countries, it’s not my job to comment on candidates ... because they might end up winning,” he said.

The team from Israel, the U.S., Canada and Lithuania used mineral and oil exploration scanning technology to pinpoint the 100foot-long tunnel located in the Ponar forest about 10 kilometers from Vilnius, Lithuania. Since 1944, the Ponar site has held the remains of 100,000 people executed by the Nazis, including 70,000 Jews shot and buried from July 1941 through July 1944.

A black box salvaged from doomed EgyptAir Flight 804 confirms smoke onboard the jet before it crashed in the Mediterranean Sea last month, killing all 66 people, authorities said Wednesday. Egyptian investigators also said an examination of wreckage from the front section of the plane revealed “signs of damage because of high temperature” and soot, the BBC reported.

The Cairo-bound Airbus 320 crashed May 19, more than three hours after leaving Paris. The black boxes were found and pulled from the sea a month later. The voice recorder was damaged in the crash and sent to Paris for repair, but investigators have tapped the data recorder for clues. The cause of the crash remains a mystery. The recorders are crucial because the crew didn’t issue any distress calls before the crash. — John Bacon

LONDON The line officially began forming for Conservative Party members angling to replace Prime Minister David Cameron on Wednesday while European Union officials doubled down on warnings that Britain can’t expect favorable trade deals post-Brexit without giving ground on issues such as immigration. Work and Pensions Secretary Stephen Crabb was first to formally declare for the post. Early frontrunners expected to soon join the fray include former London mayor and European Union “leave” leader Boris Johnson along with de facto “stop Boris” leader Home Secretary Theresa May. A new leader likely will be in place by early September. Cameron announced he would go after Thursday’s referendum that saw the United Kingdom vote to drop out of the EU. Cameron says he wants the new leader to negotiate details of the split with the EU. Still, he has lobbied for close EU ties and access to the EU common market. But one reason Brexit won the day was frustration over immi-

gration. EU leaders meeting Wednesday in Brussels minus Cameron stressed that Britain can’t cherry-pick advantageous trade conditions. “Leaders made it crystal clear today that access to the single market requires acceptance of ... freedom of movement,” European Council President Donald Tusk said. “There will be no single-market a la carte.” The council, which includes the EU heads of state, issued a statement saying the EU hopes to have the U.K. as a “close partner.” Scotland’s leader, Nicola Sturgeon, met Wednesday with EU leaders including Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the European Commission in Brussels, to seek a way for Scotland to stay in the bloc. A majority of Scots voted “remain.” In Britain, Brexit fallout did not solely strike the Conservative Party. Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, accused of failing to strongly support the “remain” faction, refused to resign. Ed Miliband, Corbyn’s predecessor as the Labor Party’s leader, added Wednesday to calls for Corbyn to resign. Bacon reported from McLean, Va.

Joe Biden, who lost a son to cancer, called for a “moonshot” to find a cure for the disease.

Jen Rini

The (Wilmington, Del.) News Journal WASHINGTON A little more than a year after losing his son to brain cancer, Vice President Biden called for “a decade’s worth of progress in five years” at his inaugural Cancer Moonshot Summit on Wednesday. At Howard University in Washington, D.C., in front of more than 350 researchers, oncologists and care providers, Biden said he believes “we can make exponential progress” in cancer care and treatment. “The goal of the moonshot is to propel us forward today,” he said. “Part of the moonshot ... from my view is honoring Beau and the life he lived.” Beau Biden was the former Delaware attorney general. However, this isn’t just about him, Biden quickly added. “It’s not about a single person. It’s about us. Not giving up hope. Having the urgency now,” he said. In October, just six months after losing Beau to a two-year battle with cancer, the vice president passed on seeking the 2016 Democratic nomination for president and announced an ambitious fight to end cancer. Biden called for a “moonshot” to find a cure for cancer as the disease is not slowing. More than 1.6 million new cases of cancer will be diagnosed by the end of 2016 and an estimated 600,000 Americans will die from the disease in that same period. To kick off the work, in February the White House announced

a $195 million investment at the National Institutes of Health included in a $1 billion budget proposal for the cancer moonshot initiative. The moonshot task force Wednesday announced initiatives that look to double the rate of progress for a cure. Local events throughout the country also were held. Among the efforts announced are federal initiatives to provide better access to clinical trials information, as well as more transparent cancer data sharing and advancements. This way researchers will have better access to approved and investigative cancer drugs for testing and more streamlined regulatory reviews. Organizations in the private sector, such as Alex’s Lemonade Stand and Cancer Support Community, also pledged a commitment to the moonshot with increased funding and new services to improve patient care. Beau Biden was diagnosed in August 2013 with brain cancer, and underwent chemotherapy and radiation treatment. He died May 30, 2015. He was 46. At Beau Biden’s funeral, President Obama called the vice president’s son, who was planning to run for governor in 2016, a “man of character” and explained that his death “has left a gaping void in the world.” Comedian Carol Burnett, who lost a daughter to cancer, served as the summit’s emcee. The vice president said, “this is not about my son, it’s just my personal experience.”

Voters could reshape state’s pot market Trevor Hughes USA TODAY

California voters this fall will decide whether to legalize recreational marijuana in a move primed to reshape the nation’s largest — albeit largely illegal — cannabis marketplace. Four states and the District of Columbia have already legalized recreational cannabis use, but advocates say California’s sheer size and position as a cultural trendsetter means any decision by its voters could accelerate legalization elsewhere. The state’s current loosely regulated medical system is worth about $2.7 billion, and experts say that will easily double within a few years if the voters allows adults to consume pot for fun. “The entire industry is going to be reshaped and re-created … and I think it’s going to have reverberations across the country,” said Leslie Bocskor of the cannabis investment and advising firm Electrum Partners. “As this transitions into being a regulated market with taxes and fees, everything changes. And what’s going to happen is California is going to be reinvented into a well-regulated, profitable industry that will generate a lot of tax revenue and get all of that money out of SAN FRANCISCO

Yahoo says photo-sharing site Flickr, acquired in 2005, has 113 million unique users. other intellectual property. Some are likely to bite the dust. “There’s no reason a new owner would have to pay to maintain them if they are not profitable,” Columbia Business School professor and corporate strategy expert Rita McGrath said. Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Yahoo may reference the bidding process at its annual shareholders meeting Thursday. But an outcome isn’t expected until next month. Yahoo began soliciting bids in mid-April, pressured by activist shareholders dismayed with the drop in Yahoo’s stock and little progress shown in CEO Marissa Mayer’s four-year turnaround plan. Yahoo’s loyal following of users, some dating to its 1990s heyday, hasn’t been strong enough to keep the overall company growing fast enough. One of the original Web portals, Yahoo now finds itself fighting for a shrinking share of the global digital adver-

tising market, dominated by Facebook and Google. Research firm eMarketer forecasts a 14% decline in Yahoo’s search and display ad revenues to $2.83 billion this year — about 1.5% of the overall digital ad market. Mayer’s focus on growing Yahoo’s mobile ad business has achieved some success, with about 25% growth this year to $1.31 billion, according to eMarketer. However, Google and Facebook have escalated their own mobile ads at a faster pace, driving Yahoo’s share of the market down slightly from 1.5% in 2015 to 1.3% this year. Since topping $50 in late 2014, Yahoo shares are down 26%, closing Wednesday at $36.86. This weak competitive footing was thrown into vivid relief after Yahoo abandoned plans to spin off its 15% stake in Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba. Yahoo’s market cap had declined to such an extent it nearly equaled the value of Yahoo’s Alibaba holdings and 36% stake in Yahoo Japan, worth about $8 billion — suggesting the core business had no value. Starboard Value and other activist investors urged the company to consider a sale after Yahoo abandoned its Alibaba plans. It was Starboard that originally urged Yahoo to sell its Ali-

baba stake, valued at $40 billion in January 2015 (about $30 billion today). Mayer and the board first considered a tax-free spin-off of the company’s core assets. When activists including Starboard Value ratcheted up the pressure, they agreed to “strategic alternatives” that included a possible sale. Among the reported bidders are AT&T, Verizon, a consortium that includes Warren Buffett’s firm Berkshire Hathaway, and Dan Gilbert, founder of Quicken Loans and owner of the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers and private investment firm TPG. Verizon remains the likely winner of the core business, says Robert Peck, Internet equity analyst at SunTrust Robinson Humphrey.

Morgan Stanley told to tweak ‘weakness’ in planning process Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

The Federal Reserve on Wednesday challenged three banks’ capital plans in round two of its annual stress test. Thirty other banks tested got the green light, giving investors and consumers greater faith in the strength of the financial system and setting off a round of dividend and stock buyback announcements. All 33 banks passed the first round of tests announced last week, but the Fed took issue with the capital plans of two banks, Deutsche Bank Trust and Santander Holdings USA, in Round 2. Both have been working to shore up their reserves and build systems to manage their risk, but have more to do in the eyes of the Fed. The Fed’s stress tests measure banks’ preparedness for a

AFP/GETTY IMAGES

The seal of the Federal Reserve is seen on a bank note. The stress tests are required as part of the Dodd-Frank reforms. major financial shocks. Morgan Stanley was the only major U.S. bank to get negatively singled out by the Fed. While the Fed didn’t object to Morgan Stanley’s capital plan, it is forcing the bank to resubmit its plans by the fourth quarter of this year “to address weakness in its capital planning processes,” the Fed’s release stated. Morgan Stanley passed the first part of the stress test, which looked at the company’s

reserves on an objective, not subjective, basis. Since it passed the first part of the stress test, Morgan Stanley announced plans late Wednesday to boost its quarterly dividend by 33% to 20 cents a share. The firm also authorized a $3.5 billion stock buyback program. Wednesday’s stress test is the second part of an annual review of banks required as part of the Dodd-Frank reforms following

the financial crisis of 2008 and 2009. The first test, reported last Thursday, is mostly a mathematical exercise that quantifies whether the banks have the adequate resources to withstand a serious economic shock. Wednesday’s stress test has more qualitative variables that go in the formula to determine who passes and who doesn’t. In this test, the Fed is looking for banks to be strong in the area of capital planning, risk management, oversight and proper checks and balances. The fact that all 33 banks passed the first test shows just how much stronger the financial sector is now, says Ernie Patrikis, partner of law firm White & Case. “In terms of safety and soundness, these banks are safe and sound,” he says. The moves by the Fed open the door for many large banks to boost their plans to return cash to investors in the form of dividends and stock buybacks. The average dividend yield of six of the largest U.S. banks is 2.1%, which is only slightly higher than the roughly 2% yield on the entire Standard & Poor’s 500 index.

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

When the market first spoke, it gave a thumbs down vote on Brexit. But four trading days after Britain said it wants out of the European Union, the market is sending a much different message: Brexit, it turns out, isn’t such a big deal after all. “Mr. Market,” says Jim Paulsen, chief investment strategist at Wells Capital Management, “is implying that Brexit will likely prove to be a fairly wimpy economic crisis. Mr. Market says there are little signs of panic or stress in ... markets.” The bounce-back performance of the Dow Jones industrial average on Tuesday and Wednesday illustrates the market’s shifting view on the risk Brexit poses. In a

clear sign investors fear the Brexit fallout less, the Dow has put together back-to-back 200-pluspoint gains totaling 554 points — its best two days since August. While the big rebound hasn’t wiped out all of the 871-point — or nearly 5% — slide suffered Friday and Monday, it’s clear Wall Street is less concerned about the economic, financial and political happenings in Britain and Europe than they were last Thursday when the once-un5-day avg.: 0.58 thinkable Brexit voteavg.: hit. 6-month -2.45 The rebound rally, however, Largest holding: AAPL wasn’t totally unexpected.

Packaged foods sell, but proceed with caution

Q: Is it time to grab a bite of General Mills? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Despite chatter about cereal not being trendy with younger consumers, shares of General Mills have been a big prize for investors. General Mills, a seller of packaged foods ranging from cereals to pizza, has seen its shares turn into a strong performer. The stock is up 17% over the past year as the Standard & Poor’s 500 has been flat during that time. Longer term, General Mills has been sweet, rising nearly 35% the past three years as the S&P 500 has risen 26%. The company hasn’t been growing but is topping expectations, a point highlighted Wednesday when General Mills reported a 12% lower quarterly profit of 66 cents a share and 9% lower revenue of $3.9 billion, S&P Global Market Intelligence says. But investors were pleased because it was better than expected. Adjusted quarterly profit was 10% better and revenue was nearly 2% higher than analysts had forecast. Analysts expect the company to return to growth next calendar year. But all this appears to be priced in. Shares of General Mills are trading for 27 times earnings the past 12 months, higher than the market. Analysts rate the stock a “hold” calling for it to be worth $61.50 a share in 18 months, or 8% lower than Wednesday’s price.

Request granted: GE Capital loses ‘too-big-to-fail’ label Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

GE Capital won approval to have its “too-big-to-fail” designation removed after its decision to shed billions in assets. The Financial Stability Oversight Council voted Tuesday to remove the label, which had subjected GE Capital to additional scrutiny from the Federal Reserve, including certain financial controls. GE had requested the move. The panel’s unanimous deci-

GE says its goal is to shed about $200 billion in assets.

sion, revealed Wednesday, reflects a determination that a

collapse of GE Capital would no longer represent a systemic threat to the U.S. financial system. GE Capital has announced the sale of $180 billion in assets since April 2015 and closed deals on about $156 billion. The company’s goal is to shed about $200 billion in assets. The removal of the too-big-tofail label — officially called a nonbank Systemically Important Financial Institution (SIFI) — comes three months after the request from GE Capital. The designation came with several requirements, including

regulatory reports and capital requirements. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said the decision illustrates that the designation is “a two-way process.” “The Council will remove a designation when that company no longer poses risks to U.S. financial stability,” Lew said in a statement. “The Council follows the facts: When it identifies a company that could threaten financial stability, it acts; when those risks change, the Council also acts.” GE Capital’s “fundamental strategic changes” — namely, its

sizable decline — sparked the move, Lew said. “This decision is a result of the transformation of GE Capital into a smaller, safer financial services company that meaningfully contributes to the success of GE’s industrial businesses,” GE Capital CEO Keith Sherin said in a statement. “We will continue to re-evaluate our capital requirements to reflect our reduced risk profile and right-size our organization as we go forward.” Shares of GE stock closed up more than 2% Wednesday, closing at $30.55.

BAD DAY ‘DAILY SHOW’ FANS After four years as a correspondent on the Comedy Central show, Jessica Williams is leaving. The network announced that Williams will exit this week to work on a new scripted show she’s developing and will star in for Comedy Central. STYLE STARS The picture says it all: Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders were, well, fabulous Wednesday at the premiere of their film ‘Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie’ in London.

Alexander Skarsgård and Margot Robbie are Tarzan and Jane for a new generation in The Legend of Tarzan.

THEY SAID WHAT? THE STARS’ BEST QUOTES “It would depend on the script. ... The circumstances would have to be pretty extraordinary. But then I am sure Harrison Ford said that with Han Solo, and look what happened there!

Skarsgård and Robbie have food for thought in ‘Tarzan’ For the title role, dieting actor was at end of his rope Andrea Mandell @andreamandell USA TODAY

BEVERLY HILLS Jane tosses a scrap of chicken into Tarzan’s mouth. “We’re re-enacting six months on set,” jokes Alexander Skarsgård, 39, who morphs into one of his childhood heroes in The Legend of Tarzan this weekend. Margot Robbie, 25, who plays Jane, laughs while eating a salad next to her co-star. “He would eat vicariously through me,” she says. The pair put a new spin on an old story in the hands of director David Yates. In Legend of Tarzan (in theaters Friday), Tarzan and Jane are married, although the film flashes back so audiences can see their jungle meet-cute. Tarzan (or John Clayton III as he’s now called) fights with Jane over a proposal to go back to Africa; she insists on coming, as does American George Washington Williams (Samuel L. Jackson). It’s

Tarzan (Skarsgård) and George Washington Williams (Samuel L. Jackson) travel to the Congo to thwart the Belgian king. there they must intercept baddie Leon Rom (Christoph Waltz) as he acts as an emissary for Belgium’s King Leopold II, who is enslaving the people of the Congo. The Legend of Tarzan’s Jane is no damsel in distress, and it’s why Robbie signed on. “It was very evident that they were focusing on making her a strong female character,” says the Australian actress.

Skarsgård, who starred in smaller films such as What Maisie Knew and The Diary of A Teenage Girl while awaiting Tarzan’s shifting start date, acknowledges that he worried the movie would end up shelved. So when the big-budget tentpole went into production, Skarsgård doubled down. To look the part, the Swedish-born actor spent

three months consuming 7,000 calories a day and weightlifting, followed by two months of cardio and six small meals a day “to get rid of the body fat,” he says. “The goal wasn’t to get huge. I didn’t want him to look like a bodybuilder; I wanted every muscle to be there for a reason and have a purpose.” But “I just missed food,” Skarsgård says. “I would always finish my little box and be like, ‘OK, three hours until my next meal.’ ” It’s fun to watch Robbie, next seen in Suicide Squad (out Aug. 5), rib Skarsgård about his relentless diet. “It was such a long shoot. I could maybe diet for a role briefly, but I couldn’t sustain it,” says the star, who aimed to ditch alcohol for a “dry January” this year. “I got to Jan. 8th and I was like, ‘This has been the worst week of my life. I will never try something as stupid as this again.’ ” But for Skarsgård, Tarzan was worth it. “As a kid, I always saw Tarzan as a superhero,” he says, “... with no gadgets or gimmicks — there’s no mutation or cape.” A bit of childhood wonder creeps into his voice. “I was like, ‘He’s got nothing! Just his brain and his fists! And he still can beat anyone!’ I love that.”

Idris Elba, John Boyega, Nate Parker, Marlon Wayans, America Ferrera and Alicia Vikander have all been invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as part of a new diverse class of 2016. Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs announced the 683 invitees Wednesday. “(We) know they view this as an opportunity and not just an invitation, a mission and not just a membership,” her statement said. The class, a record size, is 46% female and 41% people of color. Diversity has been a major initiative for the group since the #OscarsSoWhite outcry in January, when the academy nominated an entirely white slate of actors for a second year in a row. Boone Isaacs and academy CEO Dawn Hudson announced a goal of doubling the number of

female and minority members by 2020. The new class, should each invitee accept, would raise the academy’s percentage of female members from 25% to 27% and members of color from 8% to 11%. The 2016 class includes 283 international members from 59 countries. “This class continues our longterm commitment to welcoming extraordinary talent reflective of those working in film today,” Boone Isaacs wrote. “We encourage the larger creative community to open its doors wider.” Among actors, the new members include Mahershala Ali, Chadwick Boseman, Rose Byrne, Enrique Castillo, Morris Chestnut, Vivica A. Fox, Oscar Isaac, Dennis Haysbert, O’Shea “Ice

Cube” Jackson, Michelle Rodriguez, Gabrielle Union, Damon Wayans Jr. and Emma Watson. For the director’s branch, members include Creed’s Ryan Coogler, Beasts of No Nation’s Cary Joji Fukunaga, Conjuring’s James Wan and Belle’s Amma Assante. Music branch members include Mary J. Blige, Sia Furler and Will.i.am. Hudson told USA TODAY in January that the academy aims to get its membership “closer to our moviegoing population and our United States population.” She added that the academy’s board of governors was “impatient” to make changes. Shawn Edwards, co-founder of the African-American Film Critics Association, applauded

the announcement. “We’re getting a chance to see (the academy’s) game plan play out. We’re starting to see it happen,” Edwards says. “It’s a clear sign the academy is serious about making its population reflect the nation’s population. We’re heading in that right direction.” Pete Hammond, awards columnist for the industry website Deadline.com, says he’s impressed by the “high standards” for new members. He also praised the international outreach for the new class (including 80-yearold British director Ken Loach) and the number of female directors invited. “Of the 90 new directors, over 50 of them are women,” Hammond says. “This is huge for this branch to have this many new women members for what used to be a boys’ club.” He points out that the academy is still overwhelmingly white male, so efforts to diversify will have to continue. “It’s going to be a long slog,” he says. “But this could affect actual Oscar votes even this year. We don’t want to see #OscarsSo WhiteIII, but ultimately it’s a democracy, and it’s up to the individual academy members.”

Speed demons LaQuvionte Gonzalez

Who are the fastest? These guys Ever since Tony Pierson left after the 2014 season, Kansas University football fans have had a difficult time pinpointing exactly who the fastest player on the team has been. Pierson, a former four-star speed demon out of East St. Louis who had a solid but injury-plagued four-year career with the Jayhawks, was one of the fastest players ever to play at Kansas, and year after year, no matter who challenged him, the speed back held the title with little trouble. The past two years have been different, though, with no clear-cut answer and a few unknowns surrounding the question: Who is the fastest player on the KU football team? Earlier this week, in our

Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

latest installment of the Workout Warrior of the Week, Tom Keegan wrote about wide receiver LaQuvionte Gonzalez, who told him that sophomore running back Taylor Martin currently held the title of the fastest player on the field. Personally, I would have guessed it to be Gonzalez, who actually ranks second, so I did a little digging and found out the nine other players joining

Martin and Gonzalez in the top tier. There are a couple of surprises in here, but, for the most part, they’re players you would expect to see. 1. RB Taylor Martin — Hasn’t played enough to show fully what he’s capable of, and I suspect his speed is more of the straight-line, 40-yard dash speed than it is the kind that comes while making cuts at full throttle. If he can add more of the latter to the former, he could become a sneaky weapon for the KU offense. 2. WR LaQuvionte Gonzalez — Quv is the kind of player who seems faster than lightning because of the way he plays. Don’t get me wrong. He’s plenty fast in a straight foot race, but the way he works in space and

gets in and out of breaks and gets vertical after making a catch or a move makes him look like one of the fastest dudes on the planet. 3. RB Ke’aun Kinner — This might be the best news of the bunch because of the role Kinner plays on this team. We know he has good vision and can handle a heavy workload, but to know that, when healthy (which he is now), he can run away from defenders once he gets through the line of scrimmage is great news for an offense that needs a big season from its top returning back to keep defenses honest. 4.

Self says summer ‘serious’ time By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s basketball players can work up quite a sweat during the two hours of official practice time per week that’s allotted by the NCAA while summer school is in session. “I’ve had numerous people come in here and watch our workouts. They are surprised we would go this hard in the summer,” KU coach Bill Self said Wednesday during the Big 12 summer coaches teleconference. “I’m not saying we practice harder than anybody else, but when you allow your guys to work with coaches, there is a work ethic and culture that’s developed. It’s a serious time where guys know, ‘This is a time we have to get better.’ I also think there’s a great academic component. You can see and touch your guys multiple times a week where it’s basically they need to show up. “I think it’s a very good rule we have access to our kids, even though it’s limited to two hours a week,” he added. “It does allow us to see and touch ’em depending on how you set it up two to three days a week.” All of KU’s players have been on campus in June except Svi Mykhailiuk, who is playing for Ukraine in the Under 20 world championships. Freshmen Josh Jackson, Udoka Azubuike and Mitch Lightfoot are in town, along with transfer Evan Maxwell. Self was asked how hype surrounding the arrival of top-ranked prospect Jackson compares to, say, fellow No. 1-rated prospect Andrew Wiggins during Wiggins’ one year in Lawrence. “I thought Andrew was pretty prepared coming in here. I feel the same about Josh,” Self said. “One thing about both those guys, they don’t like the attention. I don’t feel like there’s anything from them right now that they have to basically live up to all the expectations and all these things. “The feeling I get from Josh is he just wants to be a college kid. Of course, we know he won’t be a college kid for very long. Certainly he wants us in every way we possibly can to protect and to shield him from all the talk that potentially could go on. “He’s not caught up in it. I know he’s a social-media guy. I don’t think it’s something he needs to read every day. Right now in his brief time here, in the month he’s been here, he’s been like, ‘Coach, I just want to fit in.

Royals outlast Cards in 12, 3-2 St. Louis (ap) — Alcides Escobar hit a go-ahead RBI double just inside the rightfield line in the 12th inning, and the Kansas City Royals outlasted the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2 on Wednesday night. Escobar drove in the first run of the game with a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the eighth. His fly to shallow right off Seth Maness (0-2) fell just in front of Stephen Piscotty,

whose homer leading off the 10th tied it at 2. Chien-Ming Wang (50) worked two scoreless innings for Kansas City, which survived blown saves by Wade Davis and Joakim Soria, stranded 19 runners and used all of its bench players. The Royals are 39-50 in the I-70 interleague series but 14-12 at 11-year-old Busch Stadium. Whit Merrifield put Kan-

sas City ahead in the 10th when a potential doubleplay grounder was booted by second baseman Matt Carpenter, and Merrifield got an RBI. He also doubled with one out in the 12th. Jhonny Peralta’s two-out single tied it at 1 in the ninth against Davis, the second blown save in 20 chances for the Royals closer. Edinson Volquez worked 62⁄3 innings of six-hit ball in

a strong bounce-back effort for Kansas City. He gave up 11 earned runs in one inning his last start. Carlos Martinez allowed eight hits in sixplus scoreless innings for St. Louis, just 15-22 at home.

Underwood excited about OSU

Akolda Manyang Oklahoma’s 7-foot center was kicked off the team earlier this month after being accused of aggravated robbery in Minnesota. “You hate seeing young men make decisions that don’t help them moving forward,” Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger said. “We’re just pulling for AK in that sense. The team is way secondary to that.” Manyang was in line to fill some of the minutes vacated by Ryan Spangler, who is on the Oklahoma City Thunder’s summer-league roster. Switcheroo Beard left Arkansas-Little Rock for UNLV, then changed his mind a few weeks later and took the job at Texas Tech. Beard is from Texas, he was an assistant at Tech under Bobby Knight and Pat Knight, and his three daughters already were in Texas. “It wasn’t an easy decision,” Beard said. “It was difficult. The timing was terrible. I had a lot of respect for the people at UNLV, and we were 100 percent committed to trying to get the job done there, but sometimes in life, you get a special opportunity.”

BIG 12 BASKETBALL

Oklahoma City (ap) — Brad Underwood embraces the rich history at Oklahoma State. One of the Big 12’s three new men’s basketball coaches, Underwood takes over a program built by Henry Iba and Eddie Sutton. Though Oklahoma State’s previous coach, Travis Ford, was successful by many standards, unhappy fans stopped coming to games, forcing the Cowboys to make a move. Sutton, who still sometimes sits in the front row at home games, led the Cowboys to Final Fours in 1995 and 2004. “That’s why I came here,” Underwood said. “That’s why I wanted to be a part of this.” Underwood, Texas Tech’s Chris Beard and TCU’s Jamie Dixon join a conference that is coming off one of its best years, with Oklahoma having reached the Final Four and Kansas, Iowa State and West Virginia spending time in the top 10. Beard steps into a pressure situation, too. Tubby Smith led Tech to the NCAA Tournament last season, then he took the job at Memphis. Beard said he thought Texas Tech’s run last season was one of the best stories in college basketball. “I’ve got so much respect for coach Smith and the job that he did here,” Beard said. “The foundation is solid. Our job is to try to take it to the next level.” Dixon, who spent 13 years as head coach at Pittsburgh before heading to TCU, said he likes what TCU’s administration has done to put him in position to be competitive. “We had a lot of great coaches here over the years that I don’t think had the resources put in place that we have now,” Dixon said. “I think that’s exciting for us. We’ve got a whole different amount of involvement.”

ROGER FEDERER RETURNS TO MARCUS WILLIS during their Wimbledon men’s singles match Wednesday in London.

Federer ends Willis’ stay at Wimbledon London — Roger Federer was not about to let this feel-good story spoil his own Wimbledon. The seven-time champion — perhaps the greatest player of all time — showed little mercy Wednesday against Marcus Willis, a 772nd-ranked British qualifier who never had won a tour-level match until this week and has captivated the home nation with his improbable run. Putting aside sentimentality and ignoring the carnival-like atmosphere, Federer won the first seven games and sailed to a 6-0, 6-3, 6-4 victory in a second-round match played under the Centre Court roof on another rainy day at the All England Club. “It was very refreshing to play against an opponent like this,” Federer said. “I always knew it was going to be a completely different match than everything that I’ve played before here at Wimbledon.” He compared it to the time he walked out to play Pete Sampras on Centre Court in 2001. “‘I remember how nervous I was and how big a deal it was,” Federer said. “You had nothing to lose, and you could just go out there and enjoy yourself. Marcus did that wonderfully.” While Willis savored the moment — smiling, laughing and playing to the raucous crowd throughout the match — there was never much doubt about the outcome. “I was enjoying it out there,” Willis said. “If I’m playing well and competing with Roger Federer for a couple of sets, I’m doing the right things. I’ve still got a lot to learn, a lot of improving to do.” “It sounds funny,” he added, “but I’m disappointed to lose. I went out there trying to win.” Willis, a 25-year-old lefthander, was the lowest-ranked qualifier to reach the second round of a Grand Slam since 1988. He has been giving tennis lessons at a club in central England, and he was only recently talked out of giving up on his goal of making it on the pro tour by his girlfriend. Willis made the most of his time on the most famous stage in the sport. He celebrated winners by spreading his arms wide, holding up a fist or gesturing to his friends and family. Willis did give Federer some trouble with his unorthodox game, using a single-handed backhand slice, angled drop shots and lobs. But Federer never got rattled and played his usual grass-court game. Willis never broke Federer, though he did have two break points. Federer converted five of his 12 break-point chances. Federer enjoyed the moment, too, letting Willis walk onto the court ahead of him, giving him a warm pat and embrace at the net at the end of the match, and walking off side-by-side with him. “As I was playing, I was thinking about the match,” Federer said. “I was thinking, ‘This is definitely one of the matches I’ll remember,’ because I start forgetting some. I’ll remember most of the Centre Court matches here at Wimbledon, but this one will stand out because it’s that special and probably not going to happen again for me to play against a guy 770 in the world.”

COLLEGE BASEBALL

World Series final postponed Omaha, Neb. — The College World Series championship game between Coastal Carolina and Arizona has been postponed until today because of inclement weather in the Omaha area on Wednesday night. NCAA officials waited 2 hours, 23 minutes after the scheduled start time to postpone the game. More rain and lightning were forecast for the area in the early-morning hours, meaning a delay would have been likely. The best-of-three series is tied at a game apiece. Coaches Gary Gilmore of Coastal Carolina (54-18) and Jay Johnson of Arizona (49-23) agreed with the decision to play at noon today. Neither announced whether their pitching plans would change with the extra time off. Coastal Carolina was to start Alex Cunningham (10-4) against Arizona’s Bobby Dalbec (11-5). Both pitched on Saturday.

James declines option Cleveland — LeBron James is about to hit the free-agency market and stay right at home. James declined his player option for next season with the NBA champion Cavaliers, but the finals MVP has made it clear he has no intention of leaving Cleveland anytime soon. He had until midnight Wednesday to pick up the option, which would have paid him $24 million next season. The 31-year-old superstar has been a free agent the past three summers, electing each time to sign two-year contracts with a player option for the second season. It’s not yet clear if he’ll sign another short-term deal or a multiyear package. His agent, Rich Paul, told the Associated Press there is no timetable on when James will re-sign or what type of contract he’ll pursue.

5-foot-11, 195-pound frame might lead some to believe he’s more of a bruiser than a sprinter, but when he gets all of that momentum heading north and south, the guy can fly. 5. CB Kyle Mayberry — Along with his confidence, this is one of the biggest reasons that “Money” Mayberry will have a legitimate chance to compete for a starting spot as a true freshman. There are plenty of factors that go into making a good cornerback — especially in the Big 12 — but few of them, if any, are as important as raw speed. 6. CB Brandon Stewart — To me, Stewart seems to be one of those Jayhawks who could make the biggest leap this season compared to the way he played a year ago. More comfortable in the defense and at the Div. I level, Stewart this year should more resemble the lead cornerback this team needs him to be, and his speed and ability now to use it and trust it should be a huge part of the reason for that. 7. CB Colin Spencer —

(of the guys) just like everyone else.’ We talk about how everybody watches every move. All media requests come through us. Some things we try to simplify for him. I don’t think it will be a huge deal (handling the hype). I think it’ll be something we get into a lot as we progress closer to the season. Right now he just wants to be a kid and be one of the team and certainly isn’t caught up on what everybody is talking about.” l

Draft talk: Self was asked about the NBA Draft, in which KU senior Perry Ellis and juniors Wayne Selden Jr. and Brannen Greene were not selected. “There’s so much false hope with the draft, not just because Wayne and Perry didn’t get drafted,” Self said. “I don’t think that affects their chances of making an NBA roster as much as the appearance is. The reality is, weren’t there 17 international players drafted that did not participate in college basketball in the States (and 26 international players overall taken in two rounds)? Of those 17, I bet at least seven or nine, 10 were guys nobody had on the board at all going into the draft.” Self continued: “I wish there was a way, and I don’t know if this is possible … a kid like even Brannen (Greene) or Wayne that go through the draft, if they are able to keep their amateur status, go back to school. That’s not the case with our guys. They obviously signed with agents (as non seniors and thus were not eligible to return). The whole thing is maybe there could be an extra protection layer there. “I do believe the rule change is positive (to allow players to go to Combine and still pull name

This is really no surprise, given that Spencer, who came to KU as a wide receiver, was one of those freak athletes who tested so well coming out of high school. The junior from Dallas has not played a ton, but he could use that speed as a weapon on special teams and also has been around long enough to provide some depth in the KU secondary. 8. RB Khalil Herbert — Another running back on the list, Herbert’s wheels, along with a lack of bodies at the running-back position, give him a shot to see meaningful snaps immediately. I’ve only seen his film so far, but can remember watching him run away from defenders on a regular basis throughout his prep career. 9. CB Marnez Ogletree — Ogletree spent so much of last season using his brain and mind to make sure he was in the right spot, lined up properly, using the correct technique and all of those other details that go into playing corner. That, for the most part, hampered his ability just to let it go and run, which he can do. That was one of the biggest reasons KU recruited him out of Fullerton

out of draft) to get more information. There were a lot of guys that did not go to the Combine that stayed in the draft that did not get drafted.” Self said “maybe an incentive to stay in school that there’s some kind of trust fund set up for them if they stay in school and complete it and are drafted. There are a lot of things that have been thrown out there. It’s not perfect. I don’t have the answer. I don’t know how important it is to the NBA to come up with the answer. Even though they have been very cooperative with the NCAA. We’ve made great strides. I think to make some major, major changes that’s going to have to be a serious process and going to take a lot of time to figure out.” l

Malik to decide Friday?: Former Mississippi State guard Malik Newman, who visited KU on Tuesday and Wednesday, likely will choose a transfer destination Friday, ESPN. com’s Jeff Goodman reports. He has a final five of KU, North Carolina State, Western Kentucky, Miami and Oregon. “(He) Just visited Kansas — they loved him out of high school, would not be shocked if ends up there,” Goodman wrote on Twitter. l

D-League team hires Walters: Former KU guard Rex Walters has been named head coach of the NBADL’s Grand Rapids (Mich.) Drive, an affiliate of the Detroit Pistons. Per team policy, terms of the agreement were not disclosed. “Rex Walters brings a wealth of basketball knowledge and experience and has a passion for developing young players. He’s spent some time with us here and already has a good understanding of how we operate,” Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy said. Walters spent the last eight seasons as head coach at the University of San Francisco.

College, where he also returned kicks. 10. S Fish Smithson — The way I see it, most people would not think of Fish when they think of speed. He seems — and in a lot of ways is — the kind of player who uses his intelligence and technique to be in the perfect position as often as possible, and you don’t really picture him running players down. But you also don’t lead the Big 12 in tackles per game without being able to run a little bit, so this probably should not be that much of a surprise. 11. LB Joe Dineen — This one might be the biggest surprise on the list, but it shouldn’t be. Dineen worked his butt of this offseason to improve his speed, and like Ben Heeney before him can move much better than people give him credit for. He’s not as fast as Heeney, and he’ll never qualify as a burner, but his heart, desire and effort give him that extra gear that makes him play faster than he probably should. • Quick note: I’m certain quarterback Montell Cozart would crack the top 10 on this team, but because he has still been returning from injury, he has not been asked to display his top-end speed

throughout the offseason. • A couple of names of guys I thought might appear in the top tier but did not included: redshirt freshman receiver Chase Harrell, whose name got thrown around a lot when this question was asked a season ago; sophomore receiver Steven Sims Jr., who may seem faster than he truly is because of his ability as a threat down the field; junior cornerback Derrick Neal, who like Sims and Gonzalez probably looks a lot faster because of how shifty he is; and sophomore safety Tyron Miller. Harrell, Neal and Sims all landed in the second tier, and Miller was in the third tier. • One final note: Return man/running back Ryan Schadler’s name almost certainly would appear on this list, as well — he was a sprinter at Wichita State before coming to KU — but was not on any of the tiers I saw, leading me to believe that Schadler, who probably is fastest in the 100-yard dash as opposed to the 40, also might have been nursing some kind of injury when the latest speed testing was done. If I had to bet, I’d put him in the Top 5, when healthy.
