In Kansas, foreign nationals may not obtain retail liquor licenses, and recent immigrants must have been a U.S. citizen for at least 10 years before obtaining one, according to Grissom. Despite the legal requirements, Satishkuma allegedly maintained 30 percent of Roy’s Wines & Spirits “at least through December 2014,” the indictment said. The two co-owners allegedly “notified the Kansas ABC Licensing Unit in writing” in a May 2010 filing that Nitin Patel owned 70 percent of the company, while Satishkuma Patel owned 30 percent. In that filing, the Patels allegedly indicated that both co-owners were U.S. citizens for at least 10 years, but in fact, Satishkuma had never been a U.S. citizen at all. The filing was dated and submitted to the state licensing agency on the 10th anniversary of Nitin Patel’s naturalization date, according to the affidavit. The business had first opened in 2008.

according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. That includes about 5,000 people from Douglas County. “If those subsidies go away, there’s no way a lot of these people could keep their coverage,” said Sean Hatch, spokesman for Heartland Community Health Center in Lawrence, which serves as a “navigator” site to help individuals sign up for coverage. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, the average cost of those policies would increase 231 percent if the federal subsidies were no longer available. The Affordable Care Act allows the federal government to pay subsidies, in the form of tax credits, to people who buy policies on statebased exchanges. But it also sets up a federal exchange marketplace for individuals who live in states like Kansas that choose not to establish an exchange. Plaintiffs in the case argue that the law does not specifically authorize the subsidies for customers of the federal exchange. The high court is expected to rule on the case at any time in the next few days. And as the day of the decision draws closer, leading Kansas Republicans have been staking out positions for what they expect to be the next round of fights. On Monday, 70 GOP members of the Kansas Legislature sent a letter to Republican congressional leaders, urging them to repeal much of the remainder of the health care law, also known as “Obamacare,” if the Supreme Court strikes down the subsidies. “Our state of Kansas declined to establish and fund a state-run exchange,” the lawmakers wrote. “We are unwilling to subject taxpayers to the millions in added costs and expanded bureaucracy associated with creating one.” The letter was written

FOLLOW US by Rep. Dan Hawkins of Wichita and Sen. Mary Pilcher-Cook, the respective chairs of the Kansas House and Senate health committees. In 2010, Kansas was awarded a $31.5 million federal grant to establish an exchange. But soon after coming into office in 2011, newly elected Gov. Sam Brownback, a Republican, rejected the grant, and his administration has continued to oppose implementing any part of the federal health law. Former Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger, a Lawrence Republican, called the letter “political posturing” and said she thinks lawmakers are worried that if the subsidies are overturned, they will come under increased pressure to implement another part of the law, expansion of Medicaid. That would allow an estimated 180,000 Kansans with incomes up to 130 percent of the federal poverty level to receive free coverage through the state’s Medicaid program, with nearly all of the cost being paid by the federal government. “I was so annoyed when I saw it,” Praeger said about the letter. “They would put this political agenda above the lives of 180,000 Kansans that are not getting to take advantage of Medicaid expansion.” Meanwhile, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt is saying the federal government is already pressuring states like Kansas to expand Medicaid, and on Tuesday he joined attorneys general in several other states in calling for a congressional investigation into the activity. Schmidt and the other attorneys general said HHS has told Kansas and other states that have not

Man arrested in connection with stabbing at motel By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

A 46-year-old Shawnee man was arrested Wednesday evening on suspicion of attempted first-degree murder after a motel worker was

stabbed multiple times earlier in the day. Lawrence police opened an investigation Wednesday after an officer responding to a disturbance at Super 8, 515 McDonald Drive, found a woman with multiple

stab wounds in her abdomen just inside the building’s front doors, Lawrence Police spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said. Dispatchers received a report about 1 p.m. of a disturbance at Super 8 with possible “scream-

ing or confusion in the background” of the call, McKinley said. Upon arrival, a police officer found a middle-aged woman and man just inside the motel lobby. Officers later determined the incident began as a domestic dispute,

McKinley said. The woman, an employee at the motel, was taken by ambulance to Lawrence Memorial Hospital with serious injuries. She was awaiting surgery Wednesday evening, McKinley said.

Officers later arrested Navinkumar Patel, of Shawnee, also employed at the motel, on suspicion of attempted first-degree murder, McKinley said. Patel was booked into the Douglas County Jail Wednesday evening.

East Ninth Project board drafts criteria for artists

JOHN BLEVINS, OF LAWRENCE, IS SHOWN JAN. 15, 1965, FINISHING A PORTION OF THE NEW SIDEWALK in the Project 800 parkingshopping complex in downtown Lawrence. Work on the project, which included a 136-car parking lot, buried communication and power lines, new rear entrances to stores along Massachusetts Street and a blocklong sidewalk and canopy, had been curtailed by recent cold weather. Concrete is not poured when the temperature is below 33 degrees, Blevins said. Today, this area remains the city parking lot in the northeast corner of Ninth and Vermont streets. Every week, usually on Thursday, the Journal-World runs an image from our archives, chosen by chief photographer Mike Yoder, that gives a glimpse into Lawrence’s past.

The East Ninth Project’s citizen advisory committee unveiled a draft for an RFQ — or, simply put, a request of qualifications for prospective artists — and introduced the idea of a second RFQ during a meeting Wednesday night at City Hall. The goal of the project is to refurbish the stretch of Ninth Street from Massachusetts Street to Delaware Street, integrating public artwork along the seven blocks in East Lawrence. Porter Arneill, the city’s new director of arts and culture, produced the initial RFQ with Josh Shelton of the project’s design team and lead artists Tristan Surtees and Charles Blanc of the art collective Sans façon. It outlines the East Ninth Project’s three largest commission opportunities while laying out the criteria that the selection jury will consider. Arneill on Wednesday said he was “cautious” about including too many restrictions to the RFQ; instead, he says, it’s merely an invitation for artists to apply to the project — it’s not a contract, he told the committee.

judge to block abortion ban

By John Hanna Associated Press

Topeka (ap) — An abortion rights group is asking a Kansas judge to block the state’s first-in-the-nation ban on what it says is the most common method for terminating second-trimester pregnancies, contending that the new law would force women to either acCOURTS cept higher medical risks or forgo abortions. But the state’s lawyers were expected to argue Thursday in Shawnee County District Court that abortion providers have safe alternatives to the procedure, which anti-abortion activists describe as dismembering a fetus.

Tuesday night, city commissioners reviewed a suggestion from a group of East Lawrence residents that at least 50 percent of the public artwork for the project would be commissioned to Lawrence artists, and that half of that half reside in East Lawrence. Those concerns were partly addressed Wednesday in a recommendation from some members of the Citizen Advisory Committee to draft a second RFQ calling for “associates” (the original wording used was “apprentices”) to assist or collaborate with artists on the projects outlined in the first RFQ. While the first RFQ would be open to artists outside of Lawrence, it was suggested that the second RFQ be open only to Douglas County residents to ensure local artists’ involvement in the project.

“

I think the idea of two calls minimizes local talent in that way, to think we can’t (compete) against regional people or national people.” — John Sebelius, East Lawrence Neighborhood Association representative Not all committee members were pleased with the proposal, however. Artist and East Lawrence Neighborhood Association representative John Sebelius expressed some trepidation about releasing two separate RFQs, arguing that it implied that local artists weren’t qualified enough to lead the projects themselves. “I think the idea of two calls minimizes local talent in that way, to think we can’t (compete) against regional people or national people,” Sebelius said. “I think it is a prized position, and I do think Josh (Shelton) and Sans façon have been more than open about the fact that they want Lawrence people to apply.” But fellow artist Dave

Loewenstein, also representing the ELNA, praised the action. Comparing the “associate” program to a local farmers’ market, he likened the artists to farmers and farm hands. “Our farmers market is amazing, and to sell at the farmers market, you got to be local. What that means is, maybe the best strawberry in the country can’t be sold at the farmers market and that also means that pineapples can’t be sold either,” Lowenstein said. “But we’ve made that choice because we value our local food economy, and we value local farmers in a very intimate and meaningful way.” “We’ve got the farm hands,” Loewenstein said. “Now we just need a few farmers.”

Douglas County Sheriff’s deputies arrested a 23-year-old Wellsville man Wednesday afternoon on suspicion of aggravated robbery and aggravated battery after a man was allegedly attacked and robbed at Douglas State Fishing Lake early that morning, sheriff’s office spokeswoman Sgt. Kristen Dymacek said. Donnie Ray Michael Plouffe was booked into the Douglas County Jail at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday after a 32-year-old man reported he’d been “struck several times and had property stolen” between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. Wednesday, Dymacek said. The man made the report from an apartment in Baldwin City, Dymacek said, and responding officers found him with “sev-

The two new fire districts, Fire District No. 4 and Fire District No. 5, will split northern and southern portions of Marion Township and contract closer fire stations to service the areas, Weinaug said. A western portion of the area will remained covered by Osage County.

Dymacek said the incident remains under investigation.

for Reproductive Rights comes less than a week before the ban takes effect on July 1, and the group is asking him to block it at least until its lawsuit is heard. The National Right to Life Committee drafted the ban as model legislation for states. Kansas was the first to enact it, though Oklahoma followed with a statute set to take effect in November. The center’s lawsuit said the ban applies to a procedure used in 95 percent of second trimester abortions nationally. “It’s among the most extreme restrictions that we’ve seen,” said Janet Crepps, a senior counsel for the Center for Reproductive Rights. “It’s a ban on the most common method in the second trimester.” The center represents father-daughter Drs. Herbert Hodes and Traci Nauser, who perform abortions at a health center in Overland Park. Attorney General Derek Schmidt’s office declined to comment ahead of the hearing, but in a court filing last week, attorneys for the state denied that the law blocks access to safe abortions. “Instead, it simply declares one particularly gruesome and medically unnecessary method of abortion to be beyond society’s tolerance level,” they wrote. The new law would ban doctors from using forceps, clamps, scissors or similar instruments on a live fetus to remove it from the womb in pieces. Such instruments are commonly used in dilation and evacuation procedures in the second trimester, and the law designates the banned method as “dismemberment abortion.” Dilation and evacuation procedures accounted for about 9 per-

cent of all abortions in Kansas last year, according to the state health department. The state already bans most abortions at or after the 22nd week of pregnancy, and 89 percent last year occurred before the 13th week. The new law makes exceptions to the ban for preserving a woman’s life or preventing serious and permanent damage to her physical health. It also doesn’t apply if doctors ensure that the fetus dies before using instruments to remove it from the womb. The state’s lawyers argued that doctors could avoid violating the ban and still perform safe abortions by first giving the fetus a lethal injection or by severing its umbilical cord in the womb. They argued that Hodes and Nauser just “personally prefer to perform dismemberment abortions.” But the lawsuit said there have been few studies of the safety of the alternative methods and that lethal injections for the fetus could increase of nausea, vomiting and infection in women. The lawsuit contends the law violates the Kansas Constitution by “infringing upon their rights to bodily integrity” and equal legal protection. But lawyers for the state also noted that Kansas courts haven’t previously said the state constitution protects abortion rights independently of the U.S. Constitution.

Going Out

New community photo studio among June’s Final Friday highlights

Fally Afani/Special to the Journal-World

JON FITZGERALD AND LAWRENCE INDIE-ROCK BAND PAPER BUFFALO will be performing tonight at the Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St., as part of Lawrence Field Day Festival.

Paper Buffalo’s sound-seeking journey leads to Field Day Fest By Fally Afani Special to the Journal-World

You wouldn’t guess this by looking at them, but Paper Buffalo sounds wise beyond their years. To peg them as just an indierock band wouldn’t do them justice. Their guitar riffs are a labyrinth of complicated puzzles, aided by awe-inspiring vocals not commonly found in these parts. Throw in their unconventional approach to percussion (one of their drummers sometimes whips out a conch in the middle of a song), and Paper Buffalo has turned into one of the more exceptional acts currently active in the Lawrence music scene.

Breaking in Somehow, at the ripe old age of 21, the band’s frontman has already been around the block in this music scene. Jon Fitzgerald picked up guitar the moment he got out of elementary school, and has relentlessly worked on one musical project after another. Now, his current band is featured as one of the main attractions at Lawrence Field Day Fest. Over the course of three days, the massive music festival will take over venues from one end of downtown to the other. Paper Buffalo, one of more than 50 bands rocking the Lawrence stages, headlines the opening night Thursday on the Replay stage. But Fitzgerald only recently became old enough to play the Replay stage. The expert guitarist with a monumental voice

IF YOU GO Lawrence Field Day Festival, featuring over 50 bands across four venues over three days, will be today, Friday and Saturday at The Bottleneck, Replay Lounge, Eighth Street Taproom and Jackpot Music Hall. Participating bands include Paper Buffalo, Your Friend, Psychic Heat, Spencer Mackenzie Brown, Heidi Gluck, The Noise FM, La Guerre and The Ovaries-eez, among many others.

spent much of his youth performing in the area. While many musicians work tirelessly to break into the scene, Fitzgerald says it was pretty easy. “It’s not as hard as most places,” he says. “If you can get on a bill and open, that’s really how you prove yourself. We played tons of empty shows for a long time.” Performing in bands with musicians roughly the same age as him, Fitzgerald depended on being “the opener” at countless shows. But it wasn’t until a lineup change and a well-received EP release “White on White” that Paper Buffalo started taking the lead at shows.

Digging deeper Because every member of Paper Buffalo is a Lawrence native, their audience ends up being pretty diverse. The familiar faces of a community that watched Fitzgerald

(and his bandmates) grow up will turn up for his shows alongside members of the music scene. Fitzgerald says he wouldn’t be able to pull off crowds like those anywhere but Lawrence. “We’re the band that other bands go see,” he says, only halfjokingly. “I feel like Lawrence is actually filled with people who play music and can articulate what they want even more. I feel there’s a lot more players than most scenes. Most city scenes are mostly listeners.” You can count Fitzgerald as one of those players and listeners. At some point in his musical career, there was a type of sound that he craved but couldn’t find in any of the local bands. So he started creating it himself. “When you’re an avid music listener, you find out what you like and get invested into certain things, you dig deeper. I’m always getting closer to that perfect sound I want to hear, but there’s always something missing,” he says. In a buildup to the release of “White on White” in March, Fitzgerald worked obsessively on making alternative rock sounds filled with tension and epic buildups. “There’s a lot of math values in it. I like to use time signatures that you wouldn’t expect that would push the listener around and have them follow what we’re doing,” he says. “There’s a whole bunch of things going on, and every time you listen you can hear another thing that you didn’t notice before.” — Fally Afani is a freelance writer and editor of iheartlocalmusic.com.

With the Free State Festival in full swing, you’ll find a wide variety of festival-related arts events on the schedule for this month’s Final Friday. We’ve already covered quite a few of them — though, to be sure, there are plenty more cool activities where those came from — so for June’s Final Friday preview, we’re highlighting a few nonFree State Fest happenings that otherwise might fly under your radar. As usual, all events are scheduled for 5-9 p.m. Friday unless otherwise noted.

Culinaria Food and Wine Every Final Friday, the folks at Culinaria Food and Wine donate a portion of their food and drink sales to a local group or charity. This month, the catering business has chosen to benefit Pet World, where an electrical fire killed several animals on Memorial Day. Culinaria, 512 E. Ninth St., is inviting guests to an evening of food and local art from 5 to 9 p.m. All proceeds from sales of the donated artwork will go directly to the pet shop. The exhibition will remain up throughout July. Art can be purchased on Friday, during Culinaria’s Wine Club (with a reservation) on July 15, by appointment most Tuesday and Thursdays from noon to 4 p.m. or during Culinaria’s regular Supper Club each Friday evening after 5 p.m. Lawrence Percolator “Nevermind the Weather,” an exhibition of paintings by Jason Kenning, is set to debut Friday at the Lawrence Percolator, 913 Rhode Island St. Taking inspiration from “the way our culture consumes technology just as the environment is consumed by it,” the series asks questions relating to topics such as climate change and technology’s effect on mankind’s ability to relate to one another.

Lawrence Community Photo Studio The Lawrence Community Photo Studio will have a grand opening featuring an exhibition of work by photographer John Clayton. The space, located next to SeedCo Studios at 720 E. Ninth St., suite 6, is a nonprofit organization with the goal of assisting the Lawrence community in all its “photographyoriented adventures.” The studio will offer (paid) access to a fully functioning darkroom, studio rentals, greenroom rentals, digital workstations and software, professional digital printers, art gallery space, plus workshops and classes in photography. Cider Gallery The Cider Gallery, at 810 Pennsylvania St., will feature new paintings and drawings by Kyle Goddard and Robert McNown, respectively. Goddard’s work draws partly from his nine years with the Army Guard, which included a deployment to Afghanistan, where “the overt use of repetition and organization would leave an impression” on the fledging artist. Influenced by the early Modern artists and the New York Abstract Expressionists, Goddard also finds inspiration through architecture, the forms of casual elements of everyday life and “the persistent geometry of which we are surrounded by.” With more than four decades of art-making under his belt, McNown spent most of his artistic career inspired by the systematic process of “hard-edge color painters” such as Gene Davis. Recently, the Kansas University graduate has returned to more free form and spontaneous markmaking, while trying to let the medium dictate the image. His choice of materials — whether pencil, crayons, rubber stamps, shoe polish, ink or others — is intrinsic to his process.

EDITORIALS

Ill-considered plan Kansas legislators should eliminate a plan to restrict local property tax increases and decide next year whether such a plan deserves reconsideration.

ather than just apply a quick fix to an ill-conceived cap on local property taxes, Kansas legislators have another, better option: Eliminate the measure and decide next year whether to put the cap through the full deliberative process that such a law deserves. In the waning days of the legislative session, lawmakers mistakenly passed two versions of the bill that will bar cities and counties from increasing their property tax revenues by more than the rate of inflation unless they hold an election to approve that increase. One version has the law taking effect next week (July 1), while the other has it taking effect in 2018. Legislative leaders say they plan to correct the discrepancy on Friday when lawmakers gather for their ceremonial “sine die” adjournment. The fact that such a basic problem could arise is a clear indication that this measure didn’t receive the kind of scrutiny it deserved — and would have received if it had gone through the prescribed legislative process, including committee hearings. Such hearings would have given local government officials an opportunity to raise some basic concerns about the bill. Key among those is the virtually impossible timeline for scheduling a public election in the middle of the budget process. There also are issues related to the cost of such elections — not to mention the extreme irony, in light of the recent state budget process, of state legislators presuming to tell local officials how to balance their budgets. It’s not even completely clear which effective date legislators will choose for the property tax measure. The 2018 date would give local governments some time to prepare, but it seems likely that many local governments would preemptively raise property taxes now to beat that deadline. For that reason, some legislators might think it’s necessary to implement the law immediately so local officials wouldn’t have that chance. Both the substance of the bill and the handling of this bill is extremely disrespectful of the authority that local elected officials have to make local budget decisions. After passing what some have called the largest tax increase in state history, legislators are setting limits on the primary source of revenue for local governments. And they are doing that without even giving local officials an opportunity to be involved in the discussion. Delaying the effective date for this legislation until 2018 would at least give the state some time to clean up and clarify this bill. An even better strategy, however, would be to eliminate this proposal entirely and, if it still seems like a good idea next year, introduce the measure again and run it through a full legislative review.

S.C. shooter’s motivation was clear Let there be no (pretend) confusion about the church shooter’s motivation This is for Elisabeth Hasselbeck of “Fox & Friends,” who described last Thursday’s act of white extremist terrorism at Emanuel AME church in Charleston as an “attack on faith.” It’s for Rick Perry, who said maybe the shooting happened because of prescription drugs. It’s for Jeb Bush, who said, “I don’t know what was on the mind” of the killer. It’s for South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who said, “We’ll never understand what motivates” a crime like this. It’s for Glenn Beck, who said, “I don’t know why this shooter shot people. He might shoot people because he’s a racist. He might have shot people because he’s an anarchist. He might have shot people because he hates Christians.” This is also for the reader who called the tragedy a “hoax” perpetrated by the White House to promote racial hatred and gun control, and for the one who said, “Charleston was not a hate crime.” Finally, it’s for any and everyone who responded to the massacre by chanting, tweeting or saying, “All lives matter.” For all of you, a simple question: What the hell is wrong with you people?

It is not news that some people go to extraordinary lengths to avoid conceding that America remains a nation stained by racial discrimination.” Why is it so hard for you to call racism racism? It is not news that some people go to extraordinary lengths to avoid conceding that America remains a nation stained by racial discrimination. Bring them a hundred testimonies illustrating it and they are unmoved. Bring them a thousand studies quantifying it and they say that numbers lie. They deny self-evident truth because otherwise, they must concede racism did not, in fact, end 50 years ago, and they are heavily invested in that fiction. Still, it is breathtaking and heartbreaking to learn that

this recalcitrance holds firm even in the face of so blatant a crime. Nine people dead following an attack upon a storied African-American church. The alleged killer: Dylann Roof, a 21-year old dropout with a Moe Howard haircut whose racist motivations were pretty clear to authorities from the beginning and have only become clearer since. He said he wanted to shoot black people. You don’t get plainer than that. Yet, even in the face of this utter lack of mystery, some of us professed confusion about the killer’s motives. An “attack on faith”? Only the “War on Christmas” delusions and anti-gay fixations of Fox could make this about that. “All lives matter”? Of course they do. But what is it about the specificity of declaring “Black Lives Matter” that some people object to? What is it they find problematic about acknowledging that black lives in particular are under siege in this country? It certainly wasn’t “all lives” Roof sought to snuff out when he entered that church. And Glenn Beck’s professed confusion about the shooter’s motive? It is simply bizarre that a man who

once famously dubbed President Obama “a racist” based on no evidence beyond the voices in his head has such difficulty being that definitive about a white man who drove 100 miles to shoot up a black church. A few days ago, a Toronto Star reporter tweeted video of a mostly white crowd that marched through Charleston chanting “Black Lives Matter.” God, but that was a welcome sight — ice cold lemonade on the hottest day in August. It was a stirring, needed reminder that compassion has no color. All this obfuscation and pretend confusion, on the other hand, is a less welcome reminder that, for all the undeniable progress we have made in matters of race, there remain among us not simply moral cowards, but far too many moral cripples hobbling about on stumps of decency and crutches of denialism. Last week, nine people were slaughtered in a house of God for no other reason than that they were there and they were black. It is a sad and simple truth that some of us, for some reason, have not the guts to say. For that, they should be profoundly ashamed. — Leonard Pitts Jr. is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for June 25, 1915: years “The fourth asago sistant postmasIN 1915 ter general has ordered all postmasters in Kansas to make a report upon each and every rural carrier, including his age, his physical condition, equipment and attention to duty. In postal circles the order has aroused great interest. Many supervising employees think it means a shake-up in the rural service, especially affecting the elderly carriers and those who were appointed before the service was placed upon the civil list.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

Columnist has questions for Clinton Washington — Hillary Clinton’s reticence is drowning out her message, which is that she is the cure for the many ailments that afflict America during a second Democratic presidential term. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., has called her “the most opaque person you’ll ever meet in your life,” but when opacity yields to the necessity of answering questions, here are a few: Your first leadership adventure was when your husband entrusted you with health care reform. Using a process as complex as it was secretive, you produced a proposal so implausible that a Democratic-controlled Congress would not even vote on it. Your legislation was one reason that in 1994 Democrats lost control of the House for the first time in 40 years. What did you learn from this futility and repudiation? Three times in your memoir “Hard Choices” you say that as secretary of state you visited 112 countries. Do you think “peripatetic” is a synonym for “effective”? You tell readers that at a 2009 meeting with Chinese officials you said, “We need to build a resilient relationship that allows both of us to thrive and meet our global responsibilities without unhealthy competition, rivalry or conflict.” Does it trouble your environmental

conscience that trees died to produce the paper on which you recycled that thought? President George W. Bush said that when he looked into Vladimir Putin’s eyes he saw a “very straightforward and trustworthy” man. You looked into Putin’s regime and saw an opportunity for a cooperative policy “reset.” Were you or Bush more mistaken? In March 2003, Bush launched a war of choice to accomplish regime change in Iraq, mistakenly believing it was developing weapons of mass destruction. In March 2011, Barack Obama and you launched a war of choice against Libya for the humanitarian purposes of preventing, it was said, as many as 10,000 deaths at the hands of Moammar Gaddafi. Since March 2011, in Syria, where the regime continues to use chemical weapons that it supposedly agreed to surrender, the civil war has killed more than 320,000. Why humanitarian intervention in Libya instead of Syria?

Bush sought, and you as a senator gave, approval for his war of choice. Obama and you, arguing that the thousands of airstrikes that killed thousands of Libyans did not constitute “hostilities,” never sought approval for the Libyan war. Who was more lawful, Bush or Obama and you? What criteria suggest that the world is safer than before you became secretary? In this month’s Wisconsin Democratic convention straw poll, you defeated Bernie Sanders 49 percent to 41 percent. Sanders says he is a “socialist.” Do you have fundamental differences with him? If not, are you a socialist? He does not think a 90 percent top income tax rate is too high. Do you? He says “almost all of” America’s wealth “rests in the hands of a handful of billionaires.” Forbes magazine says the combined net worth of America’s 536 billionaires is $2.566 trillion. Is it a grave problem that the 536 have 3 percent of America’s $84.9 trillion wealth? Is it deplorable that the Waltons became a family of billionaires by creating Wal-Mart, America’s largest privatesector employer? Do you regret that Apple products made Steve Jobs a billionaire? Are any of your however many phones iPhones? Sanders vows “to make tuition in public colleges

and universities free.” Do you agree that the 68 percent of Americans without college degrees should pay the tuition for those whose degrees will bring them lifetime earnings significantly higher than the earnings of the noncollege graduates who will have paid much of the cost of the “free” tuition? Another progressive goal is “debt-free college.” The average amount owed by the 69 percent of graduates with college debt is $28,400, which is $11,000 more than a college graduate earns than a high school graduate in one year of employment. So, what exactly is the student debt “crisis”? Sanders favors a $15 minimum wage? Do you? Why not $16? Democrats are — we know because they say so — respectful of science, including, presumably, economics. So, do you agree with Obama that ATMs and airport ticket kiosks cause unemployment? Finally: Having said, “It is tempting to dismiss (the Charleston murders) as an isolated incident,” you resisted that temptation and detected in the incident large social symptoms. Do you believe, as Obama now says, that racism is in America’s “DNA,” meaning it is encoded in our nation’s nature? — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Shatner to ride through state Wichita — Actor William Shatner is scheduled to pass through Wichita this week on a trip to raise money for the American Legion. The Wichita Eagle reports that Shatner will be in Wichita on Thursday as he makes a 2,400-mile journey from Illinois to California on a three-wheeled motorcycle. The trip is intended to raise money for the American Legion. The 84-year-old actor portrayed Captain Kirk in the 1960s television series “Star Trek.” His trip is scheduled to end in Los Angeles next week.

Some stood on cars, watching the show from above. Carol Rason and Matt Wheeler stood atop the garage. “He sounds freakin’ awesome,” Rason said. “He’s still got it.” The pair have been fans of the band for many years, and Clinton’s presence enriched the weeklong festival, they said. “He’s constantly evolving,” Wheeler said. “You might not like what he’s doing tonight, but he’s always changing.” Over the decades, no two Clinton shows have been the same, Barnes said. “I’m 55, and to see someone 20 years older than me rocking out is awesome,” he said. “His music influences every aspect of modern music since the mid-’70s. Even since they started sampling, it’s all been George.”

the song. “Swing down, sweet chariot. Stop and let me ride.” Barry Barnes, of Lawrence, said when he heard of the free concert he knew he had to come. Clinton’s shows are a “family event,” Barnes said, recalling that his son was only 9 or 10 years old when he went to see the band at Liberty Hall. “I’ve been following George Clinton and the Funkadelics since the late ’60s,” Barnes said. “’Flashlight,’ ‘Aqua Boogie,’ ‘Sir Nose D’Voidoffunk.’ I saw the landing of the Mothership. So, heck yeah, I had to see him in my own town.” Though, at 73, he is getting on in years and his dance steps are slowing, Clinton’s rich voice effortlessly energized the crowd. His act incorporated dancers and bits of hip hop over his older tunes. The audience spilled onto every level of the New Hampshire Street parking garage across from the arts center.

The free concert was the featured performance of the Free State Festival, a celebration of art, culture and ideas that continues throughout the week. “Do not attempt to adjust your radio. There is nothing wrong,” P-Funk could be heard over the speakers. “We have taken control to bring you this special show.” Cooler than cool, Clinton showed himself to the crowd as the bass line kicked in, minus his signature colorful locks of hair. The band plunged into its set with the 1975 hit “Mothership Connection.” The crowd’s hands immediately skyrocketed as voices joined in the chorus. “If you hear any noise, it’s just me and the boys,” they sang. Clinton hushed his band and let the audience carry the last half of

CRITICAL ‘FAST TRACK’ TRADE BILL RENEWED

SUPREME COURT

Susan Davis USA TODAY

WASHINGTON The Republican-controlled Congress delivered a significant second-term victory for President Obama, passing a six-year renewal of trade promotion authority intended to advance one of the largest trade pacts in history later this year. “This is a critical day for our country. In fact, I’d call it an historic day,” said Senate Finance Chairman Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, who co-authored the bill the Senate approved on Wednesday, 60 to 38. “This is perhaps the most important bill we’ll pass in the Senate this year.” Trade promotion authority, more commonly referred to as “fast track” or TPA, reestablishes an expedited legislative process for presidents to submit trade deals to Congress that can only be approved or rejected, not amended, within a certain time frame. Obama needs TPA to finalize negotiations on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a 12-nation trade pact with Asia-Pacific countries that represents 40% of the world’s population and 60% of global gross domestic product. TPA expired in 2007, leaving Obama the only modern-era president to serve without it. But he found a rare political alliance with Republicans on trade. Just 28 Democrats voted for it in the House last week and 13 in the Senate on Wednesday. It advanced despite opposition from Democrats, every major labor union and liberal activist groups who say it will be a 2016 campaign issue. Business interests cheered Wednesday’s vote. “A bipartisan majority of the Congress strengthened the president’s ability to negotiate the best trade deals for America,” said John Engler, president of the Business Roundtable, which represents CEOs of top U.S. companies. “We know increasing exports through trade will create jobs and raise incomes and that’s good for the U.S. economy.”

What sets the five couples apart from your v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

John Bacon USA TODAY

Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev apologized in court Wednesday for “the suffering that I’ve caused” in the April 2013 attack that killed three people, wounded hundreds and rocked the city and nation. “I am sorry for the lives that I’ve taken, for the suffering that I’ve caused you, for the damage that I’ve done,” he said, adding “I pray for your relief, for your healing.” He also said he prayed to Allah to have mercy on him and his brother, Tamerlan, who was killed in a gunfight with police days after twin bombs exploded near the finish line of the race. When Tsarnaev was finished speaking, Judge George O’Toole formally sentenced him to die by injection. “What will be remembered is that you murdered and maimed innocent people, and that you did it willfully and intentionally,” O’Toole said. A jury decided six weeks ago that Tsarnaev should be executed. The only suspense Wednesday was whether Tsarnaev, now 21, would apologize or speak at all. Tsarnaev did not testify at his trial. His statement drew mixed reviews from survivors. “He threw in an apology to the survivors that seemed insincere,” said Lynn Julian, a Bostonian who said she suffered hearing damage and other permanent injuries in the blast. “What he said showed no regret, no remorse.” Henry Borgard, a Chicagoan who was attending college in Boston at the time, said he suffered minor injuries but has been diagnosed as suffering with PTSD. “To hear him say he’s sorry, that is enough for me,” said Borgard. “I hope his words were genuine, I hope his words were heartfelt.” Earlier, dozens of survivors and family members of Tsarnaev’s victims testified. Bill Richard, the father of 8-year-old Martin, said Tsarnaev could have refused to participate in the horrific attack. “He could have changed his mind the morning of April 15, 2013,walked away with a minimal sense of humanity and reported to authorities that his brother intended to hurt others,” Richard said. Instead, “He chose hate. He chose destruction. He chose death. This is all on him.”

Buckingham Palace repairs may force queen to move out Overdue renovation could cost $237M Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II may be forced to move out of Buckingham Palace to allow millions of dollars of renovations to be carried out.

She has several other residences, including Windsor Castle near London, Balmoral Castle in Scotland, and Sandringham House in Norfolk, eastern England. She spends only a third of her time at Buckingham Palace, on whose balcony the royal family often appear, most recently after this month’s Trooping the Color parade marking the queen’s official birthday.

Flag removal in S.C. not a sure thing Those who argue for Confederate heritage object Aamer Madhani and Ron Barnett USA TODAY

GREENVILLE , S . C.

Though a legislative push to remove the Confederate flag from South Carolina’s Capitol grounds seems flush with momentum, some state lawmakers in the Palmetto State feel fierce pushback from constituents who want to keep it flying.

Sen. Larry Martin, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said response from his constituents has been “a mixed bag,” but he thinks it’s time for legislators to take the lead and do what’s best for the state. “There are a lot of folks who would like to see the matter resolved and remove the unfortunate spotlight that’s been placed on our state,” Martin, a Republican, said. “And there are others who view it simply as a symbol of our heritage and are very upset that we would … ‘cave in’ to those who would do otherwise.” The state House of Representatives voted Tuesday to allow debate on the flag issue.

Gov. Nikki Haley, a Republican, and several other top Republicans have backed the effort to remove the symbol of the Confederacy. In Alabama, Republican Gov. Robert Bentley ordered the removal of four Confederate flags from a memorial at the state Capitol on Wednesday. The first to be taken down was the so-called battle flag, followed by the First National Confederate flag, known as the “Stars and Bars.” Martin and other South Carolina lawmakers traveled Wednesday to the state Capitol in Columbia to honor Sen.

federate flag in photos posted online with a racist manifesto. Martin recalled casting one of his first votes in the 1970s in favor of keeping the flag flying over the Statehouse dome. He backed compromise legislation in 2000 to move it to a Confederate monument on the Capitol grounds, and until recently, he favored keeping it there. He says his views have changed and those of many of his constituents have, too. Meanwhile Wednesday night, exactly one week after the massacre, 100 worshipers packed the basement of the AME church for a Bible study in the same room where the nine people died.

Couples can’t wait for Supreme Court to act v CONTINUED FROM 1B

average wedding planners is a small impediment: They can’t get married in their home states — not yet anyway. So confident are they that the Supreme Court will change that in the coming days that they already are making plans for the big day. If the court finds that gays and lesbians have a constitutional right to marry, thousands of couples in the 13 states still without same-sex marriage will rush to courthouses as soon as the doors are flung open. These couples are different. Some may seek marriage licenses immediately, but only as a safeguard against backpedaling by states that may try to sidestep the high court’s ruling. What they really want are old-fashioned weddings, and they’re not waiting for the justices to act. uPhariss and Holmes, plaintiffs in a Texas gay marriage lawsuit pending at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, began planning their big day back in the spring. That was before the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Obergefell v. Hodges, the case that’s due to be decided by early next week. They booked a Dallas venue, band and florist, then a photographer and videographer, even a Costa Rica honeymoon. They were sure the court was on their side. “We were so convinced that the Supreme Court was going to rule that way that we were putting our money where our mouth was,” says Holmes, 45, who plans to wear his former Air Force uniform for the ceremony. Then they sat in court April 28 and watched as even Justice Anthony Kennedy, who has written the past three opinions advancing the cause of gay rights, noted that marriage has been an oppositesex union for “millennia.” “I saw dollars flying out the window,” Phariss, 55, says. The pair have a couple of backup plans, neither of which will postpone the celebration in November. They will apply for a marriage license immediately if the court strikes down state marriage bans, but only to guard against any roadblock Texas could throw in their path. If the court rules only that states must recognize marriages licensed in other states, they will marry in Illinois and return for a Texas-size

Texas case and a third from Louisiana. In the deep South, it hasn’t been easy. Only one of the venues they sought in the capital region around Jackson would accept a same-sex marriage, Rowell says. “We had people that would just flat-out say, ‘Absolutely not,’ ” she recalls. Still, the two were determined to have what Rowell calls “a traditional Mississippi wedding” — church bells, white dresses, wedding cakes. Their guest list is hovering around 100 after some trimming. A cousin serving in the military in South Korea plans to return for the ceremony. “Everything I’m doing, I’m doing with the intention that the Supreme Court is going to rule in my favor,” Rowell says. “We’re just planning with the assumption that it’s all going to come through.” uLove and Ysunza have waited longer to get married than FAMILY PHOTO Rowell and Harbuck have been Brittany Rowel, left, and Jessica Harbuck are determined to alive.

IN BRIEF HOUSE OVERSIGHT TO OPM CHIEF: ‘TIME FOR YOU TO GO’

The chairman of the House oversight committee told Office of Personnel Management Director Katherine Archuleta that “it’s time for you to go” at a Wednesday hearing held in the wake of two massive cyberattacks that compromised the data of millions of federal workers. Chairman Jason Chaffetz, RUtah, also raised the possibility that the data breach might have involved the records of up to 32 million workers. Archuleta has so far confirmed that at least 4.2 million employees were affected by the first hack but has said investigators are still trying to determine how many were hit in the second. “I think you are part of the problem,” Chaffetz told Archuleta at a hearing.

So next May it is. “We’re going to get married regardless,” Neidlinger says. “To us, it’s just going to be a bonus if it passes.” uCoffee and Swafford have an advantage over the other couples: Coffee is well on the way to becoming a Unitarian Universalist minister, and in a pinch, he can perform marriages himself. They are accustomed to states that don’t favor gay marriage. The Knoxville couple live in Tennessee, one of the states involved in the Supreme Court case; their families live in Kansas and South Carolina, two states where samesex marriage is legal only because of federal court rulings. If the court rules their way, Coffee, 26, and Swafford, 25, plan a quick courthouse marriage in case anything changes. But regardless of how the justices rule, they plan to follow through with their “wedding” in November. “We’re going to go ahead and get married in November because we want to get married,” Coffee says, “and we don’t need a court to tell us that we’re married or not.” Corrections & Clarifications

NATION/WORLD WIKILEAKS

FRANCE CALLS SPYING ‘UNACCEPTABLE’ U.S. must ‘repair’ trust after documents show eavesdropping on presidents from 2006-12 Elena Barton and Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

PARIS French President François Hollande on Wednesday branded allegations the United States spied on his nation’s three most recent presidents as “unacceptable” behavior from a long-standing ally. “France will not tolerate actions that threaten its security and the protection of its interests,” he said. “Commitments were made by the U.S. authorities. They need to be recalled and strictly respected.”

Intelligence documents disclosed by WikiLeaks on Tuesday revealed that the National Security Agency eavesdropped on Hollande and former presidents Nicolas Sarkozy and Jacques Chirac between 2006 and 2012. French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said Wednesday the U.S. must now “repair” any damage to U.S.-French relations. He called the revelations “a very serious violation of the spirit of trust.” U.S. Ambassador Jane Hartley was summoned to the French Foreign Ministry in Paris for a meeting. Hollande also convened emergency meetings with security officials and lawmakers to dis-

The U.S. Embassy in Paris didn’t respond to a request for comment. The White House said President Obama spoke with Hollande Wednesday morning. The White House statement on the call contained no hints of either apology or denial. Instead, Obama main-

tained that the U.S. has “abided by the commitment we made to our French counterparts in late 2013 that we are not targeting and will not target the communications of the French president,” the White House said. That time frame comes after the events reported by Wikileaks.

Some analysts said France may kick up a fuss publicly but is unlikely to take serious action. “These episodes highlight that dependency, highlight that powerlessness of the Europeans to really do anything more than reprimand the Americans,” said Jan Techau, of Brussels-based Carnegie Europe. “The Europeans rely on American security services to guarantee their security.” Michele Alliot-Marie, a former defense and foreign affairs minister under Sarkozy and Chirac, said that officials had long known the U.S. had the technical means to snoop into their conversations. “We are not naive,” she said.

Gov. Bobby Jindal announces he’s running for president Debates will limit participation as the GOP field grows to 13 Deborah Barfield Berry USA TODAY

Gov. Bobby Jindal kicked off his presidential campaign on Wednesday, presenting himself as a “doer” who would shake up Washington. “We can rock the boat, and we will rock the boat,” he told supporters. The Louisiana governor became the 13th Republican to officially enter the race and has spent months traveling across the WASHINGTON

country to build support for his campaign. He made his announcement official earlier in the day on Twitter and now faces an uphill battle to break through in the crowded GOP field. During his campaign kickoff event in Kenner, La., a New Orleans suburb, Jindal touted his tenure as Louisiana’s governor, where he said he shrank the size of government and reformed education. He also jabbed at his own party, saying he was seeking the White House “without permission from headquarters.” Jindal singled out one of his new rivals for the GOP nomination, Jeb Bush. Jindal said the former Florida governor support-

ed masking conservative positions in a bid to win the general election. Jindal is known as a policy wonk and in 2013 created a conservative policy group, America Next, to release his positions on energy, health care, foreign policy and other topics. He is considered a long shot and trails far behind the top-tier GOP candidates in most national polls. Albert Samuels, a political scientist at Southern University in Baton Rouge, said Jindal “has no chance.” “He is somewhere between zero and 1% (in polls),” Samuels said. “Bobby Jindal will not get in the (presidential) debate.”

Syrian Kurds celebrate as Kurdish fighters return to Qamishli after battling Islamic State jihadists in Tal Abyad on Wednesday.

Kurdish win against ISIL a risk to Obama’s strategy

U.S. finds militias are effective against militants but could stir dangerous sectarian tension Jim Michaels USA TODAY

A U.S.-backed Kurdish offensive in northern Syria may have dealt a significant blow to the Islamic State, but it also raises concerns among regional allies who fear empowering the Kurds. The developments highlight a dilemma for the Obama administration as it pursues a strategy to defeat the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. The U.S. is attempting to build a credible threat against the militants without further fueling sectarian tensions. That has proved difficult in a region where the most successful allies are sectarian forces, such as Shiite, Kurdish and Sunni

militias. Turkish and Arab leaders have expressed concerns about the Kurdish forces in Syria. Turkey has a sizable Kurdish population who have long harbored aspirations to create their own nation. Arab leaders, meanwhile, have said Kurdish forces pushed Arabs out of their homes in Syrian areas liberated from the Islamic State. “There’s a lot of objection from the Arab side about enabling the Kurdish militias,” said Mustafa Alani, a security analyst at the Gulf Research Center based in Geneva. The Kurds continue to rack up successes on the ground. In recent months, their forces have executed a two-pronged attack backed by coalition airstrikes across an area that borders Turkey. The offensive cut off a major supply line stretching from the Islamic State’s de facto capital,

Raqqa, into Turkey. It is not clear whether the Kurds and their rebel allies will turn south and head toward Raqqa. The Kurds aren’t likely to push farther south without joining a broader coalition of other rebel groups in Syria, said Jennifer Cafarella, an analyst at the Institute for the Study of War. The U.S.-led coalition has been supporting the offensive with airstrikes, which also carry political risks. The U.S. has to be careful not to be seen as favoring Kurds for fear of alienating other groups in Syria, Cafarella said. In Iraq, the Obama administration’s strategy faces similar challenges supporting Iraq’s central government. Iraq’s military has struggled in the face of attacks by Islamic State militants, and Kurdish and Shiite forces have proved more effective than government troops on the battlefield.

President Obama unveiled new rules Wednesday that would basically allow families to offer private ransom payments for relatives kidnapped overseas. While the federal government will continue to refuse to make ransom payments, Obama and other officials said families will no longer be threatened with prosecution if they seek to do so privately. “I’m making it clear that these families are to be treated like what they are — our trusted partners and active partners in the recovery of their loved ones,” Obama said in announcing the changes from the White House. All too often, the families of hostages — some of whom have died in captivity — have been treated like “afterthoughts” or bullied by public officials, Obama said. “These families have already suffered enough,” he said, “and they should never feel ignored or victimized by their own government.” Obama signed an execGETTY IMAGES utive order creating a new office to deal “These with hostage families families, including the fahave cilitation of already communication suffered with terrorist that enough." groups could theoretiPresident Obama cally be used to organize ransom payments. There are currently more than 30 American hostages overseas, said White House counterterrorism adviser Lisa Monaco. Obama said that since Sept. 11, 2001, more than 80 Americans have been kidnapped by “murderous groups engaged in terrorism or piracy.” Of those, more than half have been released, “some after many years,” he said. The rest have died. A White House statement said that, in the future, officials would work with families “on exploring all appropriate options to ensure the safe recovery of their loved ones,” and that the Justice Department “does not intend to add to families’ pain in such cases by suggesting that they could face criminal prosecution.” While it is illegal for private citizens to pay ransoms, Obama stressed that no family member has ever been prosecuted for trying to do so. The law banning “material support” to terrorist groups — including money — remains intact, and Obama and other officials have repeatedly said that ransom payments would only encourage more kidnappings.

ASHEVILLE Riding through the tunnels on the Blue Ridge Parkway makes Frank Morris feel like a little kid again. So it’s only fitting that the U.S. Mint would choose the Memphis artist and illustrator, who has designed other coins and Congressional Medals of Honor, to create the new Blue Ridge Parkway quarter, which will be unveiled Thursday here. The quarter, which features one of the parkway’s iconic tunnels, is the 28th coin to be released in the mint’s America the Beautiful Quarters Program, said Tracy Scelzo, U.S. Mint spokeswoman. The U.S. Mint began the America the Beautiful series in 2010. The 12-year initiative includes 56 quarters featuring national sites in each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories. The reverse designs depict some of the USA’s most cherished national parks, including Arches and Everglades minted last year. Each quarter can have only one state name, Scelzo said.

Morris’ design, engraved by Joseph Menna, depicts the image of leaving one parkway tunnel as you enter another, along the graceful curvature of the parkway hugging a mountainside, and framed by North Carolina’s state flower, the dogwood. The designs were developed in consultation with the governor or chief executive of each host jurisdiction, the Interior Department, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Commission of Fine Arts and Citizens Coinage Ad-

visory Committee with final approval from the Treasury Department, Scelzo said. Gary Johnson, who was the chief parkway architect for 16 years before he retired in 2011, is excited to see that the quarter depicts a tunnel. The Blue Ridge Parkway has 26 tunnels along its 469 miles. Twenty-five tunnels are on the North Carolina side of the park. “The tunnels — they’re such an iconic view of the parkway, and since this is a North Carolina coin, I think it’s so appropriate,” Johnson said.

MONEYLINE ECONOMY’S SHRINKAGE WAS LESS THAN THOUGHT The economy contracted slightly in the first three months of the year but wasn’t as weak as the government estimated earlier, thanks to a bigger gain in consumer spending and a lower drop in exports. Gross domestic product shrank 0.2%, according to the final revision released Wednesday by the Commerce Department.

DISNEY BOOSTS ITS DIVIDEND Walt Disney Co. raised its dividend by 15% following record results and said it would begin paying investors twice a year. The new semi-annual dividend is 66 cents a share, Disney said Wednesday in GETTY FOR VANITY FAIR a statement. Robert Iger “Disney delivered significant increases in revenue, net income and EPS for the first half of fiscal 2015,” Chief Executive Officer Robert Iger said in the statement.

In emailed statements, Whole Foods said, “We disagree with the DCA’s overreaching allegations.”

Facebook stock set an all-time high Wednesday — cementing its stature as one of the most important and most valuable companies in the world. Shares of the leading social networking company Wednesday gained 98 cents, or 1.1%, to $88.86 to make the company worth almost $250 billion. The stock is up more than 12% this year — and is taking on a size and influence that’s hard to ignore. Facebook is now the 10th mostvaluable stock in the Standard & Poor’s 500 — exceeding the $233 billion market value of the world’s biggest retailer, Walmart. The impressive rise in Facebook’s shares has created billionaires among its officers and founders but also enormous wealth for investors who signed up early. Facebook first sold its stock to the public May 18, 2012, at $38 a

share, giving the company a market value of $104 billion at the time. A little more than three years later, the company has completely upended online advertising and made a fortune in the process. Facebook’s stock had a rocky start following its initial public offering as investors worried it was being left behind in the mobile communication revolution. But Facebook reasserted itself as a leader — connecting with users with new forms of advertising for mobile as well as buying popular mobile photo sharing site Instagram. Shares have skyrocketed 133% since Facebook’s initial public offering. That blows away a still-impressive 62% gain by the S&P 500 during the same period. CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg — the largest single owner of Facebook — has seen his shares reach a value of $37.7 billion. Now that would put a smile on just about anyone’s face. $88.86

Icahn sells off Netflix, wins big

KRIS KINKADE, USA TODAY

Matt Krantz USA TODAY

Carl Icahn disclosed Wednesday he sold his remaining stake in Netflix — locking in an enormous profit and closing one of his most famous recent trades. The financier took to Twitter to tell the world he sold out his remaining 1.4 million shares of the video streamer — reaping a massive $874 million approximate gain on the sale. Icahn is locking in massive gains following a breathtaking run-up in the stock, which hit a fever pitch Wednesday following the company announcing a 7-for-1 split. Icahn first bought Netflix at the end of 2012 at roughly $58 a share. Netflix shares were at $682.18 Wednesday when Icahn revealed his sale — meaning he had a nearly 1,100% gain. Netflix closed Wednesday down $2.58 to $678.61. Icahn has been a massive investor in Netflix. He first reported a 2.3% stake in the company in September 2012. That’s when he first made a $68 million investment in the company with 1.3 million shares when the stock was trading for $54.44 a share, according to S&P Capital IQ. But that was just the beginning of Icahn’s move into the stock. By the end of 2012, Icahn upped his stake dramatically to 5.5 million shares valued at $513 million, giving him nearly 10% of Netflix’s shares outstanding. Had Icahn kept all those shares, his gain on the total investment could have approached $3.4 billion. Icahn started to scale back on Netflix in late 2013 when he sold 2.9 million shares at roughly $368 each for a profit of about $860 million. He made another $450 million selling 1.3 million more shares between the beginning of 2014 and September 2014. All told, it’s been a roughly $2 billion win for Icahn. Not bad.

Investors flee U.S. stock funds Greek debt crisis, possible interestrate hikes help drive 16-week selloff

Adam Shell USA TODAY

In a sign of stock market nervousness on Main Street, mutual fund investors have yanked more money out of U.S. stock funds than they put in for 16 consecutive weeks. The last time domestic stock funds had positive net cash inflows was in the week ending Feb. 25, according to data from the Investment Company Institute, a mutual fund trade group. In the week ended June 17, the most recent data available, mutual funds that invest in U.S. stocks suffered net outflows of $3.45 billion, according to the ICI. Since late February, U.S. stock funds have suffered estimated outflows of nearly $55 billion. Those net withdrawals come despite the fact the benchmark Standard & Poor’s 500 hit a fresh record high of 2,130.82 on May 21 and the Dow Jones industrial average notched a fresh record May 19. Tuesday, both the techpacked Nasdaq composite and small-company Russell 2000 stock index posted record closes. Still, the fact the S&P 500 and

Dow have yet to break out bigger highs could be due to Main Street investors selling off U.S. stock funds. And Wednesday’s 178point drop to 17,966 for the Dow suggests caution may be warranted. For the year, the Dow was up 1.8% heading into Wednesday’s session and was less than 1% below its May 19 all-time closing high of 18,312.36 Driving the selling are headwinds such as angst due to the lack of a deal in the Greek debt crisis, coming interest-rate hikes from the Federal Reserve, and the fact that U.S. stocks are now trading above their long-term priceto-earnings ratio, which suggests stocks are a tad pricey. The fact Main Street isn’t going all-in to the stock market, however, may be a good sign, says Nick Sargen, senior investment adviser at Fort Washington Investment Advisors. “This is reassuring news,” he tells USA TODAY. “It suggests investors are less momentumdriven today than before the 2008 financial crisis, and more conscious that valuations are a bit stretched. This lessens the risk of another bubble.”

Billionaire activist investor Carl Icahn attends a charity event in New York in May.

Icahn is selling just as Netflix continues to hit head-turning valuations. The stock is trading for 178 times its trailing earnings over the past 12 months, says S&P Capital IQ. At the current stock price, shares of Netflix are trading for 11% more than the $610.87 a share the average analyst says the stock is worth — in 18 months. So, what’s Icahn going to do with all those billions in cash? Looks like he thinks Apple is the next Netflix. In the same tweet announcing the sale of Netflix, he wrote: “Believe $AAPL (Apple stock) currently represents same opportunity we stated NFLX (Netflix stock) offered several years ago.” Analysts, too, are bullish on Apple forecasting the stock to the biggest point contributor to the Dow. On Wednesday, Apple was up 0.9% to $128.11 — and the only of the 30 Dow stocks that gained as the blue-chip barometer dropped 178 points to 17,966.

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

For the moment, the three most important factors for global financial markets are Greece, Greece, Greece. Not to be flip, but it’s Let’s Make a Deal time in Europe, where a new bailout deal between the Greek government and its Eurozone creditors remains elusive. Time, of course, is running out on Athens. Its current bailout ends June 30, the same day it needs to fork over a $1.8 billion payment to the International Monetary Fund. Global markets are on edge, of course. While the general Wall Street consensus is a bad outcome in Greece — meaning no deal is struck and Greece defaults on its debts, paving the way for its

eventual exit from the Eurozone — is not akin to a Lehman Brothers moment. (The bankruptcy filing of the Wall Street bank in the fall of 2008 ushered in the financial crisis.) The fact is, no one is quite sure what exactly a messy end to the years-old Greek debt crisis will mean for financial markets. A batch of research distributed recently by Wall Street firms suggests that a bankrupt Greece, one cut off from bailout funds, doesn’t pose a systemic risk to the global economy or markets. But most investors would rather not have to find out how turbulent markets could get if the Greece drama turns tragic. The hope is an 11th-hour deal gets done, perhaps at a summit of European leaders Thursday, or later this week. If things don’t pan out, markets will learn if the Greek debt crisis was a big deal or not.

Social media site has bright future, but be cautious Q: Did I miss my chance to own Facebook? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Facebook investors have plenty to smile about with the stock hitting another all-time high. Getting into the stock now, though, might not be all giggles and hugs. The No. 1 social network’s stock is up roughly 170% over the past three years — leaving the Standard & Poor’s 500 behind with its 58% gain. Shares of Facebook on Wednesday closed at $88.86, giving the company a $250 billion market value. Facebook becomes just one of a handful of stocks — already trading at record highs — in which analysts think there’s more upside. Analysts, on average, expect Facebook shares to be trading for $97.05 a share in 18 months. If they’re right, that means Facebook still has 9% higher to go. And analysts still think there’s plenty of growth ahead. Facebook is expected to post $17 billion in revenue this year, up 37% from last year. But this is a stock analysts expect near perfection from already. Facebook shares are trading for 86 times the company’s earnings over the past 12 months. That’s nearly three times greater than the company’s 29% long-term expected growth rate. New Constructs, which compares stock prices to expected cash flow, ranks the stock “dangerous.” Be careful with this one.

Report says IRS gave $18 million to firms with tax debts Kevin McCoy USA TODAY

The IRS awarded $18.8 million in contracts to 17 corporations that owed back taxes in fiscal years 2012 and 2013, despite a ban on the agreements, according to a government report. The nation’s tax agency did not have “effective controls in place to prevent the award of contracts to corporations with certain federal tax debt and/or felony convictions,” the report by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration concluded.

The IRS challenged the number and dollar value of the contract awards questioned by the report but said the agency had taken corrective steps. Starting with the 2012 fiscal year, a federal law prohibited the IRS and other government agencies from contracting with corporations that have federal tax debts and/or felony convictions. A separate 2012 law barred the IRS from contracting with any corporation convicted of a federal felony during the prior 24 months. Additionally, Department of the Treasury guidance requires

IRS contract officers to obtain self-certification statements in which corporations seeking contracts attest to whether they or their officers had federal tax debts or felony convictions. However, the IRS does not conduct proactive examinations to determine whether prospective contracting firms are in compliance with the federal requirements, TIGTA found. Auditors reviewed a sample of 143 contracts and found the IRS did not require any of the corporations involved to include the mandated self-certification. As a result, TIGTA identified

17 corporations with tax debts that received 57 contracts valued at $18.8 million. In all, 32 of the awards represented modifications to existing contracts with a value of about $18 million; 25 were new awards cumulatively valued at $900,000. TIGTA recommended that the IRS update its procurement policies and develop procedures to determine what constitutes federal tax debt. The IRS fully or partially agreed. But Kevin McIver, the IRS’ acting chief of Agency-Wide Shared Services, contended that TIGTA auditors “improperly” included

modifications to existing IRS contracts in their analysis. Only new contract awards were covered by the federal prohibitions on doing business with firms that had tax debts, McIver wrote. TIGTA responded that all of the contract modifications and the nearly $18 million to fund the work were approved “after the new law was enacted.” “The IRS remains deeply concerned about awarding contracts to delinquent corporations. We have taken a number of corrective steps to make improvements in this area, and we will continue to do more,” the tax agency said.

BOBBI KRISTINA BROWN MOVED TO HOSPICE CARE Bobbi Kristina Brown’s condition has deteriorated and she has been moved to hospice care, her aunt, Pat Houston, announced Wednesday. Jill Fritzo, a representative for the Houston family, emailed a statement to reporters saying the 22-year-old daughter of the late Whitney Houston, who has been unconscious since being found unresponsive in a bathtub in her home in Georgia Jan. 30, is “in God’s hands now.” It was signed by Pat Houston, who also is executor of Whitney’s estate. “Despite the great medical care at numerous facilities, Bobbi Kristina Brown’s condition has continued to deteriorate,” the statement reads. “As of today, she has been moved into hospice care. We thank everyone for their support and prayers.”

KATE WINSLET,

LIFE HAPPENS ROBERT DEUTSCH, USA TODAY

Going on 40, she bares her mom scars and age lines proudly — and besides, they fit her ‘palpable’ character in ‘A Little Chaos’

Winslet portrays a gardener working in the royal court at Versailles in the period film A Little Chaos. “I have felt this desire to have real diversity in the roles I’ve been given.”

Donna Freydkin @freydkin USA TODAY

NEW YORK Kate Winslet rolls up her black shirt and points to her belly, which has that muffin top familiar to most moms. “Look, I still have the skin, you see. I do. Who gives a (flip)? That’s hard-won. I love all those things,” says the mom of Mia, 14, Joe, 11, and Bear, 18 months. “Everything is really pronounced when you’re pregnant.” In fact, Winslet was expecting son Bear, from her third marriage to businessman Ned Rocknroll, when she shot her latest film, the period drama A Little Chaos (in theaters and on demand Friday). “I quite loved the fact that I was in the early stages of pregnancy, because I had a little bit of a doughiness to me. I was a little bit more voluptuous. My boobs were out of control. My husband was thrilled. “It gave her more oomph,” she says of her character, Sabine, a gardener working in the royal court at Versailles. “I had to make sure she was palpable.” The Oscar winner is approaching her 40th birthday on Oct. 5 with the same zest with which she’s devouring her chicken salad, doused in dressing. “I have felt this desire to have real diversity in the roles I’ve been given the opportunity to play,” she says. “My domestic life has really lent itself to those things being possible.

What does that do to people?” he says. “She comes to the set as a very strong, focused but free individual. Her sense of humor doesn’t desert her, and there’s no frills. “With Kate, you see that everything is real.

Remember when everyone from Christian Bale to President Obama fell for Batkid? In 2013, Miles Scott completed cancer treatment and was granted the wish of a lifetime: a day as Batman. The heart-tugging documentary Batkid Begins (opens Friday in select cities) goes behind the scenes as the tyke’s wish morphs into a San Francisco-wide scavenger hunt for the Riddler and a key to the city. Here’s what you probably don’t know about Batkid: 1. HE JUST GRADUATED FIRST GRADE.

Batkid’s doing great! Miles, diagnosed with leukemia at 18 months, just finished first grade, and he’s in remission. “He has his two-year checkup (coming up),” says Batkid Begins director Dana Nachman. “He did Little League this year. He’s an amazing little kid, pretty clueless of everything that happened, other than the fact that he saved Gotham.” That’s right — Miles still doesn’t know he’s famous. His parents have kept him out of the

4. EVEN SUPERHEROES NAP.

When he got into his custom costume, Miles “was Batman,” Nachman says. But after lunch, the little guy was ready to pack it in. Make-A-Wish had plans in place in case their tiny Caped Crusader tuckered out. But when Miles saw the Penguin kidnap San Francisco Giants mascot Lou Seal, “he was good to go.” 5.

Batkid Begins addresses those who slammed the event for costing the city a chunk of change (for extra police on the streets, barricades and a Jumbotron rental). It turns out that philanthropists John and Marcia Goldman picked up the entire $105,000 tab. Batkid Begins is “not necessar-

ily a story about Miles Scott, it’s about these amazing people who came together for him,” Nachman says. “They expected 200, and 25,000 showed up. To me, that’s what the story is about.” 3. BATKID FLIES!

To prep the shy youngster for his big day, Make-A-Wish set up a trip to a circus school to practice a few stunts. All the acrobats practicing in the gym showed up in superhero costumes, “just so that it would seem like, to a 5-year-old, that’s how superheroes trained,” Nachman says.

Roberts bought the rights before the documentary premiered at Slamdance Film Festival, and Red Om Films, her production company, is in negotiations with Lucy Alibar (Beasts of the Southern Wild) to write the script. “Lucy is a tremendously talented writer who is inspired by Batkid,” says Red Om’s Lisa Gillan. “She’s the perfect person to capture the spirit of goodwill that touched so many people.” Roberts has her eye on playing Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area CEO (and Batkid mastermind) Patricia Wilson. Nachman remembers getting the call that Roberts was interested. “They said she fell in love with it. She doesn’t attach herself to many movies, and this struck a chord with her.”

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Jayhawks’ Traylor develops maturity Too often, Jamari Traylor looked like a young man whose emotions were residing in a cave, dark and damp. He didn’t look that way Tuesday night at Sprint Center, where he helped Team KU/USA to an entertaining 91-83 victory against Canada. Quite the opposite. His body language and vocal participation revealed him as a senior ready to make the most of his last chance. One game does not a change cement, but it was an encouraging night for the Traylor power forward who experienced many a coldand-gray Chicago morning before coming to Kansas. Traylor played 19 minutes off the bench and contributed 12 points, 10 rebounds and four blocked shots vs. Canada. He played as if there was nowhere he rather would be, nothing he rather would be doing. Not so a season ago, when nothing about him suggested he had confidence in his ability. His numbers suffered as well, particularly on the defensive glass, where a former strength became a liability. As a sophomore, Traylor had a respectable defensive-rebound percentage of 18.5. As a junior it plummeted to 11.2 percent, which ranked him seventh on the team, behind Cliff Alexander (19.9), Kelly Oubre (19.2), Landen Lucas (19.1), Perry Ellis (17.2), Hunter Mickelson (15.1) and Brannen Greene (13.0). Defensive rebounding is as much about energy and effort as anything. If Traylor doesn’t stand out in this area, he’ll lose playing time to players with more natural talent. If Traylor can bring the energy he brought in Tuesday’s exhibition on a consistent basis this coming season, Self will play him. If he lapses into 2014-15 mode, the coach has plenty of other options, including freshmen Cheick Diallo and Carlton Bragg, junior Landen Lucas and senior Hunter Mickelson to complement All-American candidate Perry Ellis. Sometimes just seeing the word “senior” next to his name can make a college basketball player feel more important, more responsible. “I just wanted to get other guys going,” Traylor said after the game. “I feel like I was talking to (freshmen) Carlton (Bragg) and Lagerald (Vick) the whole time in the game. I feel like that’s my role, to help guys out when I can because I know a lot and I’ve been here. I know what coach expects from guys. Be a vocal leader out there and lead by example, my hustle, my energy, and guys will follow from that.” That’s his ticket to playing time. Only he can punch it. He seems well aware that his time is running out and he can’t afford to waste any of it moping. He’s approaching last call for college basketball.

Finishing touch McLemore working to complete his game By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

FORMER KANSAS UNIVERSITY STANDOUT BEN MCLEMORE, RIGHT, works with youths during his camp Monday at Sports Pavilion Lawrence.

It’s not often that Ben McLemore takes a break from basketball. After two seasons with the Sacramento Kings, Kansas University’s former one-year sensation knows he is far from a finished product in the NBA, so his offseason mostly consists of working out and developing more tools and tricks. The 22-year-old carved out a small chunk of his schedule this week to offer a three-day youth hoops camp at Sports Pavilion Lawrence, and provided full camp tuition to five youngsters from low-income families. “I just want to give back and work with the kids,” said McLemore, who offered the same format to youngsters in Sacramento, California, earlier in the month. The chance to impact his college’s community brings with it, of course, a perfect setting for personal improvement, as well. The 6-foot-5 shooting guard has spent much of the past week in Lawrence, using KU’s facilities and running the floor with Bill Self’s Jayhawks. “Every time I come back Please see MCLEMORE, page 3C

Next stop for Stigler: USA Championships By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

With the vivid memory of crossing the finish line first at the recent NCAA Championships in Eugene, Oregon, fresh in his mind, Kansas University’s 400-meter hurdler Michael Stigler is setting his sights even higher. Competing in the same city and on the same track today through Sunday, Stigler will take his shot at running down some of the best hurdlers in the world at the USA Championships. While the idea of an

N C A A champion going toeto-toe with a handful of world-class veterans might qualify as a reach Stigler in many sports, it’s not so crazy in track and field. And Stigler knows it, which is why he plans to enter this week with the same goal he has taken into every meet this season — to win. “I know that I’m ready to run with these guys,” Stigler said. “And I’m sure

they know it, as well. I know they’re waiting for me.” By saying “these guys,” Stigler’s talking about some big names. Bershawn “Batman” Jackson has long been one of the sport’s biggest attractions and two other hurdlers — Johnny Dutch and Michael Tinsley — qualified with times faster than Stigler’s 48.44-second mark. Those four, however, are the only men in the field to crack the 49-second mark. Because of that, Stigler believes he has as good of a shot as anybody to win. But it’s his past connection to

Jackson that has him feeling comfortable about his first professional appearance. Stigler, a native of Canyon, Texas, first met Jackson back in high school, when he was competing at junior nationals and Jackson was competing at the event they both will run in this weekend. “I met him while he was doing his victory lap,” Stigler recalled. “And got his autograph and then I got a chance to sit down and talk to him for about an hour.” Since then, Jackson has Please see STIGLER, page 3C

Oubre, Alexander to learn NBA fate tonight By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kelly Oubre Jr., has made some bold, brash, entertaining statements in media interviews on his recent workout tour of various NBA cities preceding tonight’s NBA Draft. “I’m not a slouch. I’m going to be one of the greatest to ever play the game.” Oubre, a 6-foot-7, 203-pound former Kansas University guard from New Orleans told the Indianapolis Star. Oubre — he averaged 9.3 points and 5.0 rebounds a game his one season at KU — says the team that picks him — Indy’s Pacers pick 11th — simply will not be sorry.

“I want to go top seven. It’s definitely one of my goals,” Oubre told Draftexpress.com. “They have great players in this draft, no knock to anybody but I feel I’m the hardest-working guy in this draft because I have a chip on my shoulder. I’m going to show everybody what they said I couldn’t do. That’s my main motivation.” ESPN.com’s Chad Ford, who covers the draft yearround, has Oubre being selected No. 16 by Boston. ESPN’s Jeff Goodman has Oubre being tapped No. 13 overall by Phoenix. It is believed Utah has interest at

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Hometown to honor ex-Jayhawk Harris By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The hits just keep coming for former Kansas University cornerback Chris Harris, now a member of the Denver Broncos and one of the better defensive players in the NFL. Tonight, in his hometown of Bixby, Oklahoma, Harris will be on hand as a portion of Riverview Road in front of the Bixby High football stadium

will be renamed C h r i s Harris Jr. Road. In addition, the mayor of Bixby has Harris declared that Friday henceforth will be known as Chris Harris Jr. Day in Bixby. Harris, who recently celebrated his 26th birthday on June 18, will be

joined by his wife and daughter and several members of his family who still live in or around Bixby. On Friday, he will work with Bixby-area youths at a free football camp put on by the Chris Harris Jr. Foundation.

Shepherd honored Former KU cornerback JaCorey Shepherd has been named one of seven male athletes from the Big 12 Conference up for the

annual 2014-15 Sportsperson of the Year award. Shepherd, a Mesquite, Texas, native and standout on the football field, also made a name for himself throughout his KU career for his off-thefield work in the community, most notably through his association with the Big Brothers, Big Sisters program. A sixth-round draft pick of the Philadelphia Eagles in this year’s NFL Draft, Shepherd recently

180-pound, 2-star prospect according to Rivals. com, visited SMU last week and appears to be exploring his options. “I committed (to KU) really early, but my recruitment is still pretty much open,” he told SMU Rivals site TheHillTopics.com. “I still want to get out and see other schools. I have to go out and commit to being somewhere for four years so I want to make sure it’s the right place.”

he often has to check the opposition’s top perimeter player on defense. “There’s tons of talent, but I think the toughest matchup I’ve had is probably James Harden,” McLemore said of Houston’s MVP runner-up. “He’s a great superstar, and so tough to guard, because he can do everything out there on the floor.” In three games versus Sacramento this past season, Harden scored 26 (Nov. 26), 44 (Dec. 11) and 51 (April 1). When an opponent has that kind of success, McLemore said he has to find a way to keep fighting. That’s part of what makes all the summer work — in the gym or watching video — so exciting for him. “I know I can be a great superstar in this league,” McLemore said, “so I’ve gotta continue to keep that mindset and keep doing what I gotta do.” The Kings need their young shooting guard to make that type of quantum leap, too. Sacramento finished 13th (2953) in the West, behind Denver, Utah, Phoenix and Oklahoma City, all of which also missed the playoffs. “We’ve got a young, talented team,” McLemore said of a core that currently includes 24-yearold center DeMarcus Cousins and small forward Rudy Gay, 28, “but at the same time we’ve gotta go against teams that have been through the playoffs, know the way to win and how to get to that spot.” The conference offers so many unique challenges night after night, breaking into the top eight spots requires toiling in the offseason, too. McLemore aspires to begin making a noticeable impact from the moment he arrives at preseason training camp in the fall. So as the draft looms tonight — the Kings own the No. 7 overall pick — and trade rumors involving franchise player Cousins swirl, McLemore focuses on himself, not knowing for certain what exactly the roster will look like by the time next season starts. “It’s crazy in the offseason, you don’t know what’s gonna happen,” McLemore said. “Let the front office handle all of that stuff.”

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Royals romp over M’s The Associated Press

American League Royals 8, Mariners 2 Seattle — Mike Moustakas hit a two-run home run and Omar Infante had three-run double in a seven-run fourth inning and the Kansas City Royals beat the Seattle Mariners 8-2 on Wednesday night. Alcides Escobar opened the fourth with a single to right off Roenis Elias (4-5), who had retired the first nine batters. Moustakas followed with his seventh homer over the right-field wall. The Royals would score five more, all with two outs. Infante unloaded the bases with his double to left, then Jarrod Dyson and Escobar each followed with left-field RBI doubles.

Interleague Yankees 10, Phillies 2 New York — Ivan Nova stifled the Phillies on three hits over 6 2/3 scoreless innings in his first major league appearance in 14 months, leading the New York Yankees over Philadelphia and Cole Hamels. A 28-year-old righthander, Nova returned to a big league mound for the first time since April 19, 2014. He had Tommy John surgery 10 days later and the Yankees, seeking to stabilize an erratic rotation, activated him after just three minor league rehab appearances.

LAWRENCE HIGH SOCCER COACH MIKE MURPHY works with members of the LHS boys soccer team Wednesday at LHS.

Lawrence High soccer making offseason strides By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Lawrence High’s boys soccer team is thin in terms of varsity experience that will be returning for the upcoming season, but expectations have not changed for LHS coach Mike Murphy and the Lions. Murphy planned out a summer schedule that has the Lions traveling to tournaments throughout the Midwest to gain experience against quality teams. The Lions will play a total of 17 matches between friendlies and tournament games by summer’s end, and they have already tasted some success. A majority of LHS’ varsity squad competed in a three-day tournament in Iowa a week and a half ago, and the Lions posted a 3-2 record. “I think that’s maybe the first time we’ve come out of there with a winning record, so that’s really good,” senior Brennan Davies said. “We’ve got a pretty young team. We don’t have much leadership in the senior area, but it’s going really well.” Davies is taking it upon himself this summer to fill the void of that leadership role. “It is something we lacked last year. We had a lot of seniors, but none of them really took the role of a true leader,” Davies said. “If we can get someone like me or Piper (Hubbell) to really step up and be that vocal leader on the field, I think that will help. Especially with the young guys.” Hubbell, Piper and

the rest of the Lions will have another full slate of matches to wrap up the week. LHS will scrimmage De Soto tonight before playing friendlies against Wichita East, Hutchinson and Derby on Saturday in Salina. Murphy has been focusing on fundamentals, quickness and core strengthening to get the team to buy in to this season’s motto. “Our theme to this year has been ‘Lion strong.’ We’re really trying to make them a little bit more mentally and physically tough,” Murphy said. “That all has to start in the summer. You can’t just expect in the fall season to walk in with 10 practices and start playing and expect them to be there.” Junior Charlie Carr, who Murphy hopes will have a big impact as a midfielder, knows that the speed work that Murphy has installed this summer will be key, as well as being more physical than last year. “A second can make a difference if there is a through ball or something,” Carr said. “It’s important to be there first.” While the Lions’ ultimate summer goal is to be much improved by the time of their season opener Friday, Aug. 28 against Manhattan, they will have a good test to see where they are in two weeks. “We’re actually doing a showcase tournament in St. Louis July 9-11,” Murphy said. “The thing that I really like about that is that it will give particularly our upperclassmen some exposure to college coaches.”

Murphy believes that the Lions will also be back at full strength by the time they play in St. Louis, as goalkeeper Jeremiah Barbe is currently sidelined with a stress fracture in his wrist. Barbe suffered the injury in Iowa while helping the Lions earn a win in a shootout, and he has impressed his teammates as he steps in for Andrew Ornburn, who graduated last year. “He has been looking good,” said Davies of Barbe. “We had a PK shootout in Iowa and he guessed right on every single penalty and saved I think two or three, so he’s looking really strong. I think he’ll be really good.” With Barbe in between the pipes and Davies stepping into the center back position that was vacated by Ellis Springe, Murphy believes he has good pieces in place defensively. Offensively, Murphy is looking for big contributions from forwards Cain Scott and Avery (German-Martinez). The Lions went 8-7-2 in 2014, with their season ending with a 2-0 loss to Free State in a first-round regional matchup. The loss to the Firebirds left a bad taste in the Lions’ mouths, which has served as another motivational factor to gear up for the season. “Everyone is improving week by week,” Scott said. “We’re going to need the entire summer to still get better, but I think by the time the season rolls around, we’ll look like a strong team.”

JORDAN SPIETH HITS FROM THE 14TH TEE DURING the third round of the U.S. Open on Saturday at Chambers Bay in University Place, Washington.

Spieth might be Chambers’ friend University Place, Wash. (ap) — The course that was built for a U.S. Open needs a makeover. And when that’s finished, then it can fix the greens. Chambers Bay deserves another shot at hosting the U.S. Open for no other reason than the finish it produced. Jordan Spieth, with a big assist from Dustin Johnson, did more to put this course on the map than views of Puget Sound or the design of Robert Trent Jones Jr. For all the complaints — a tradition nearly as old as the U.S. Open — the lasting image is the guy holding the trophy. It helps when the winner is a 21-year-old with polished manners and a tenacious short game who made “Grand Slam” a summer topic for only the third time in the last 50 years. Throw in some heartache and it’s an ending that won’t be forgotten. The real mystery is how Johnson’s 5-iron into the 18th green didn’t come off that slope instead of leaving a 12foot eagle putt that was like putting down a luge track.

That’s ice, not broccoli. Golf courses don’t always define great players. Sometimes it’s the other way around. Valhalla, for example, cannot be considered on the A-list of championship courses. But it gave us Tiger Woods winning in a playoff for his third straight major, and Rory McIlroy holding off Phil Mickelson, Rickie Fowler and Henrik Stenson in the dark. The greens at Chambers Bay were terrible. Everyone could see that. A few players — Billy Horschel comes to mind — couldn’t wait to say it. But they weren’t that much worse than Pebble Beach in 2010 (“These greens are just awful,” Woods said that year). They were only slightly more dead than those at Shinnecock Hills in 2004. Go back and watch that 12-foot putt Woods made at Torrey Pines to get into a playoff and try to count the bounces. This is the U.S. Open, not the Immaculate Open. It is meant to be the toughest test in golf, even when it gets a little extreme.

No. 12 and Oklahoma City at 14. “I will not be denied. I’m relentless at everything I do,” Oubre told Utah’s Deseret News. “You could say stuff about me, but I’m going to prove you wrong 100 percent of the time. I’m just here with a smile on my face and a calm, cool demeanor because I know I’m going to be great one day.” Oubre, a player the Deseret News called the “nicest cocky guy in the draft,” told that paper he’s studied film of three NBA players he looks up to: Jimmy Butler, Kawhi Leonard and James Harden. “I feel like I can be as good as or better than those guys,” Oubre said. “Whoever calls my name on draft night, I’m going to help them win a championship and give them the best shot. That’s why defense is so important to me, because I know I’m going to excel at the next level.” After hearing such comments, Deseret News reporter Jody Genessy wrote: “Oubre didn’t mention becoming a Hall of Famer, but judging from his quotes after an impressive workout, it might’ve been simply due to a time restraint.” The most optimistic projection for Oubre has been No. 8. Detroit apparently is intrigued by his 7-foot-2 wingspan and desire to be a good defender. “I’ve been relentless,” Oubre told the Detroit Free Press. “I’m in the gym. I won’t be stopped. That’s my mindset.’” Oubre told the Free Press he hired a shooting coach in an attempt to improve his 44.4 percent shooting stats at KU. He hit 35.8 percent of his threes. “I feel like I’m a little more mature than the other freshmen. I can go into any setting and perform. I’ve had multiple adversities, through Kansas, through my life.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

I feel like I’m ready for whatever the NBA has for me,” Oubre said. One shouldn’t get the impression Oubre has only been boasting about himself on his media tour. He told the Oklahoman he did not deserve more than the eight minutes a game he received in KU’s first seven games. “When I was sitting on the bench, it was because of my doing,” Oubre told the Oklahoman. “It wasn’t because somebody was slighting me. It didn’t come as a surprise. But as I continued to watch guys around the country who were top recruits in high school thrive in their college systems, I kind of said ‘No more of this for me.’ So I just turned it up a notch and sat with coach and got over that hump. He was just trying to let me know that my defense was my offense. I can’t just be a one-way player. Once that message got across to me, the sky was the limit from there. I took off,” Oubre added. The bottom line? “I’ll fall where I fall,” he told the Free Press. “I’d be blessed to fall here (Detroit at 8), but I’ve worked out for everybody I need to show my face to.” l Alexander a second rounder?: Former KU forward Cliff Alexander enters the draft as somewhat of a mystery, generally regarded as a secondround pick. The 6-foot-9, 240-pounder with a 7-4 wingspan hurt his knee during a workout with the Lakers on June 2 and thus had to cancel some workouts for individual teams. “Cliff’s very athletic, very athletic and strong,” Boston GM Danny Ainge told ESPN.com. “He can shoot a little better than you could see at Kansas.” Alexander averaged 7.1 points off team-best 56.6 percent shooting. He grabbed 5.3 rebounds per contest (17.3 minutes a game in 28 games), missing the last eight games because of an NCAA issue. He also had 37 blocked shots.

“I think we all know what happened. It’s certainly not the end of the world. I don’t think it reflects everything that Cliff is about,” Ainge told ESPN.com, referring to the NCAA issue. “I’m not (a bad) guy,” Alexander told the Chicago Tribune. “I’m a great guy to be around. When I was at Kansas, it was just a struggle. I got dealt a bad deck of cards, that’s all it was.” Alexander said he’s been working on his shooting and “getting my timing better on blocking shots, moving my feet, getting my lateral movement going.” His strengths: “My high energy level,” he said, “running the floor non-stop, grabbing every rebound. I have a lot to prove. I feel I have to get my name back out there more and redeem myself.” SLAM Magazine remains optimistic, recently writing that Alexander’s “strong play in the month of January and the way he got his stats will make him a firstround pick. His chiseled 239-pound frame has shoulders that are nowhere near filling out and he has simply effortless explosiveness around the rim. The physical profile is there of an elite NBA big man, now it’s just a matter of getting his skills to a similar level,” SLAM Magazine added. ESPN’s Ford has Alexander being taken No. 14 in the second round by Phoenix. Self’s take on the Jayhawks in the draft: “The updates I have is Kelly has a great chance to go in the lottery, late lottery,” Self said. “Everybody seems to be impressed with him that I talk to. Cliff obviously won’t go that high but people I talk to say he’s really tried hard, worked out well in his workouts. Time will tell how the dominoes fall, maybe he’ll sneak into late first or go early second.” Self said Alexander, “can be a very good prototypical power-type power forward. I always thought he was a Buck

Williams type when he was young, which is a huge compliment to Cliff. I know he’s hungry and thirsty.” l New rule coming?: College underclassmen will be allowed to return to school after declaring for the NBA Draft, if a new proposal sponsored Wednesday by the NCAA basketball oversight committee is adopted by the NCAA in January, ESPN’s Andy Katz reports. If a player is without an agent and decides he wants to head back to school, he would have until 10 days before the draft to undeclare. If the rule was in effect this year, a player (that has no agent) could attend the NBA Draft combine, be evaluated, then decide by June 15 if he wants to stay in the draft or return to school. Of course this could put some programs in a bind recruiting-wise, not knowing what players are definitely leaving until mid-June. l This, that: KU, which beat Canada, 91-83, in a World University Games exhibition on Tuesday in Sprint Center, will again tangle with Canada at 7 p.m., Friday, in Sprint Center. Self told the J-W that longtime broadcaster Max Falkenstien will serve as an honorary assistant coach and sit on the bench during the game. “Can you believe Max has never done that? He’s going to sit on the bench and do it Friday,” Self said. ... Tuesday’s Sprint Center attendance was 8,235. With a similar crowd expected Friday, the Jayhawks figure to easily pay for their trip to South Korea, estimated at about $250,000. USA Basketball is not paying KU’s expenses for the World University Games. ... Jamal Murray, a 6-4 point guard from Orangeville Prep in Ontario, on Wednesday chose Kentucky over Oregon. He’s expected to be a first-round pick in the 2016 NBA Draft.
