NOAH SMUTZ, A 2012 KANSAS UNIVERSITY GRADUATE who is the current Ringle Conservation intern for KU Libraries, is spending his summer preparing condition reports, treating and creating housings for early- to mid-20th-century scrapbooks kept by former students at KU. Here he shows some of the books, housed at the Spencer Research Library. BELOW: A 100-year-old piece of hardtack is attached to a page from a KU student’s scrapbook at the Spencer Research Library.

Century-old KU student scrapbooks pose preservation conundrum

T

he 100-year-old cracker, glued inside a World War I-era Kansas University student’s scrapbook, poses one of the more puzzling conservation challenges Noah Smutz is dealing with this summer.

Smutz figures his first step will involve at least cleaning away the squished bug remnants from the page housing the square of slightly

snacked-on hardtack.

“Things like these take so much special handling,” he said.

Smutz is KU Libraries’ 2016 Ringle conservation intern, and his task for the two-month internship is to inventory, treat, stabilize and conserve the Spencer Research Library’s collection of early KU student scrapbooks.

There are 41 books in all, the oldest being compiled by

The Lawrence City Commission, yet to establish changes it wants to make to the city’s policies that govern financial incentives, on Tuesday will hear from two developers, each seeking a set of subsidies for mixed-use developments.

Commissioners will first hear from former commissioner Bob Schumm, whose Vermont Street project they refused Schumm to consider for tax breaks on June 7. Schumm is coming back with a proposal to set aside one of the development’s 11 condominiums to be a low-income household, with the hope it will turn the commission’s vote.

Directly after Schumm’s request, commissioners will decide whether to have city staff study an incentives package for a brewery, restaurant and residential project on Pennsylvania Street in East Lawrence. Liquor executive Matt Williams and Lawrence businessman Adam Williams, under Williams Management LLC, filed the request.

The majority of commissioners have expressed disapproval of offering anything over a 50 percent, 10-year tax abatement for

developments.

A tax abatement is a partial exemption from taxes on a piece of property. In these cases, the properties’ values would increase with new development, and — if rebates are approved — developers would pay only a portion of taxes on those increased values until the abatement period ended, at which time the city would collect the full amount of taxes on the increased property values.

Schumm’s request is for a larger amount than 50 percent, and Adam and Matt Williams’ could be as well.

Vermont Place At the June 7 City Commission meeting, a majority of commissioners voted to have city staff work with Schumm to see whether there’s a project he could propose that would be feasible with a maximum 50 percent tax rebate.

FORMER CITY COMMISSIONER BOB SCHUMM plans to build a five-story building on a pair of vacant lots in the 800 block of Vermont Street and is seeking a 50 percent tax rebate from the city for the project. for a household earning 70 percent of the median family income. Together, the mortgage, interest, taxes, insurance, a leasing fee and homeowner’s association fee could be no more than 30 percent of the household’s monthly gross income.

In a letter to commissioners, Schumm said the unit would be “heavily discounted,” and that he would offer it for sale at $95,000. The sale price of other units would be raised $10 per square foot.

The city’s newly established Affordable Housing Advisory Board, of which Buford is a part, has stressed the importance of “bringing developers to the table” to talk about the creation of affordable housing. Buford, in a separate letter from Schumm’s, encouraged commissioners to support his proposal.

“We applaud this project for being one of the first to show how affordable housing can be implemented into a development for the benefit of all, and we encourage the City Commission to support projects like these that agree to a mixed-income development,” Buford wrote.

If commissioners vote to move it forward, city staff will look at Schumm’s request to determine whether he needs the tax break in order to finance the project.

It will go to the Public Incentives Review Committee for review, and then it will go back to the City Commission for a final vote.

“I don’t know what the city will do,” Schumm told the Journal-World last week. “But I think we can show there is a lot of public good with this project.”

East Lawrence brewery Affordable housing units also will be part of the other project commissioners will hear about Tuesday: a brewery, restaurant and apartment building in the Warehouse Arts District.

Like Schumm, Adam and Matt Williams are asking for a 10-year tax abatement under the Neighborhood Revitalization Act, as well as industrial revenue bonds.

But rather than state the amount of rebate they’re seeking, Williams Management LLC is asking city staff to perform an analysis and determine the level of assistance the project would require.

To have staff do the analysis, commissioners would need to vote

June A. Kueker Hadl, 88, of Cottonwood, AZ, passed away July 1, 2016.

She was born November 14, 1927, in Bonner Springs, KS, the daughter of Clyde and Grayce Donahue.

She moved to Lawrence in 1951 and lived here for 50 years.

June was an avid bowler in her younger days and worked at both the Hillcrest Bowl and Royal Crest Lanes. She enjoyed traveling, gardening and spending time with her family.

June was married to Harold W. Kueker, Jr. for 33 years and LaVern Hadl for 23 years.

Tuesday to move the request forward. Markus is recommending they do, according to a city memo.

When filing plans for the project in December, Matt Williams told the Journal-World the brewery would be “a real family-friendly place.”

“We just want to be a good place where people of all ages can feel comfortable to come and spend some time,” he said.

He and Adam Williams plan to undertake the redevelopment of the old Barteldes Seed Company, built at 826 Pennsylvania St. in the early 1900s. The old warehouse, currently vacant, is located between the Cider Gallery and the newly opened office building at 832 Pennsylvania St. The renovation plans include the brewery and restaurant on the main level with the addition of two stories on top of it comprising 15 apartment units.

Two units would be permanently set aside for those earning less than 80 percent of Lawrence’s median income, plans show. Rental rates for those units would be set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and a local nonprofit would manage the units.

“By providing affordable housing units within the Eighth and Pennsylvania Redevelopment Zone, the project will attract residents with unique social, economic, political and cultural backgrounds to continue the diverse heritage of the East Lawrence neighborhood,” the incentives request states.

“The project will also help address the city’s general policy directive to create affordable housing.”

Besides affordable housing and historic preservation, Williams Management says the project will eliminate blight, create seven fulltime jobs and establish sidewalks and 33 new onstreet parking spaces.

The City Commission meets at 5:45 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St.

Turnpike begins video enforcement in K-Tag lanes

THIS PAINTING OF THE ARCHITECT’S RENDERING OF LIBERTY MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL, which was completed in 1922, went through three stages of restorations over a period of 10 years. The fully restored painting now hangs in the main hallway of the school, now called Liberty Memorial Central Middle School.

Once forgotten, painting back on display at middle school

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

As workers prepared to tear through a wall at the nearly 100-yearold Liberty Memorial Central Middle School, they found a surprise: a deteriorating painting of the school building, the figures in its foreground dressed in the pleated skirts and brimmed hats of another time.

The year was 2005 and whether the painting was actually inside the wall or just discarded alongside it is not known for certain, but what is clear is that it had been forgotten.

“I think it was just not known,” said Liberty Memorial Principal Jeff Harkin. “I don’t think it

was known to the school that it existed.”

What the workers — who were beginning renovations to the school — had found ended up being the original architect’s rendering of the building, which was completed in 1922.

The painting was in bad shape — stained, warped and with areas that had aged to a reddish brown.

Art conservators with the Kansas City company that restored the painting said it had apparently spent time in the school’s boiler room, resulting in a

“It had gotten wet repeated times, and had been splattered with stuff coming out of the boiler and everything else,” said Thomas Edmondson, of Heugh-Edmondson Conservation Services.

“The board that it was on had become very badly warped; there was mold contamination.”

“I had colleagues who just thought I was out of my mind for even agreeing to take it on, and my attitude was, well, when you start with nothing you can end up with something,” Edmondson said.

In a move that should speed the daily commutes of some Lawrencearea motorists, the Kansas Turnpike Authority is looking to nix the gates at select toll plazas for KTag owners.

Jeri Biehler, KTA communications director, said the KTA started a pilot video enforcement program in the past week with the goal of eliminating gates on K-Tag-only lanes at three “main line” toll plazas. Two of the three plazas — the east

Topeka Interstate 70 toll plaza and the eastern-most I-70 toll plaza in Kansas City, Kan. — would be familiar with Lawrence-area K-Tag owners commuting to the east and west. The third plaza is on Interstate 35 on the Oklahoma border.

KU Student Alumni Association to include all undergrads by 2019

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

The Kansas University Alumni Association has a plan for rocketing KU Student Alumni Association membership up to around 19,000: buy fouryear memberships for all incoming freshmen.

By getting more Jayhawks involved as students, the Alumni Association hopes to provide them an opportunity to plug

in and also, ultimately, to strengthen KU’s alumni network for the long haul.

“We want to support the university’s goal of improving retention, progression and graduation,” Alumni Association President Heath Peterson said.

“One of the ways we can do that is create a stronger sense of belonging amongst the student body.

monitor K-Tag express lane traffic, she said. The transponders in K-Tags will continue to be read in the lane, but the newly installed cameras are capable of capturing images of the license plates of drivers using the lanes without K-Tags, Biehler said. The KTA has found over the years that many of those erroneously using the K-Tag lanes are drivers from the East Coast, who mistakenly think that their state’s express lane

tags are compatible with the Kansas system.

Others seek to take advantage of busy times when toll booth operators leave the K-Tag gates up to accommodate heavy traffic, Biehler said.

“We know people are going to get into K-Tag lanes,” she said. “That’s where the video pilot program comes in. Once we get video enforcement going, we’ll send invoices to those going through the lane without

K-Tags.

The license plates will be captured on video. There’s nothing to be gained by running the lanes.”

The benefit for K-Tag users will be the capability to exit the turnpike at the select toll plazas at higher speeds.

“We like to give our customers a good experience,” Biehler said. “We will be spending time testing the equipment, making sure we have good reads on those tags and making

sure we have the cameras in the right place.”

After the pilot program, the KTA looks to roll out what it’s calling “open road tolling” sometime later this summer, Biehler said.

KTA will continue to have manned K-Tag/ cash booths at the three toll plazas with the opening of the gate-less lanes, Biehler said. Eventually, the plan is to reconfigure the three plazas so that the open-gate K-Tag

lanes are on the left and the cash lanes are on the right, which is just the opposite of the current layout, she said.

K-Tags can be ordered online at myktag.com; account management is also available online and allows K-Tag owners to pay for tolls in advance or to be billed for turnpike use.

expected to reach about 5,400, Sanner said.

The Alumni Association plans to continue providing gift memberships for the next three incoming classes so that by fall 2019, all KU undergraduates will be members of Student Alumni Association, Sanner said. KU currently has more than 19,000 undergraduates.

The Alumni Association will evaluate the effectiveness of the expanded Student Alumni Association program as it rolls out, but won’t begin to see the long-term impact of the investment until the class of 2020 graduates, Sanner said. She said she expects the program to be fully evaluated at that point or soon after.

To pay for all those new memberships, KU Alumni Association is teaming up with KU Endowment, which also will be involved in evaluating the program going forward.

“Our mission is very

similar,” Peterson said of the fellow KU organization. “We’re both trying to really strengthen KU.” Peterson called the Student Alumni Association “the premier networking organization for students on the KU campus.”

Members participate in community service projects, hospitality events during finals week, professional development programs put on with the KU Career Center, networking

nights with professionals in different industries, and events with KU Alumni Association members.

The Kansas University Alumni Association launched an app in May and plans to launch one just for students in August, during Hawk Week.

The KU Alumni Association will maintain its recent graduate program, also in partnership with KU Endowment. That program pays for one year of

Alumni Association memberships for new graduates. Sanner said the recent graduates also have a limited-time offer to purchase an annual or life membership for half-price.

Peterson said the Alumni Association’s engagement for Jayhawks 45 and older has been strong.

But he said the organization is hoping to work on more programs that meet younger Jayhawks at their “life stage.”

“We’re missing a huge opportunity to connect with students,” Peterson said, “and more importantly than that, connect students to alumni who have a tremendous amount of professional experience and wisdom to impart on them as mentors, and also help them build their network to life after KU.”

of fundraising and restoration efforts. The Liberty Memorial parents group, alumni group and a local conservation group made contributions toward the approximately $4,000 needed to repair the painting, according to Nora Murphy, who was involved in the parents group.

Murphy said that both the architect on the project, William B. Ittner, and the artist hired to complete the architectural rending, Francis Woolrych, were known in their time. Ittner was known for the monumental look of his school buildings, which contrasted with some of the more simplistic designs of the day. The interior of Liberty Memorial, for example, includes railed staircases, crown molding and stained glass.

Mary Lou Wright, a former school board member whose two children attended the school, was involved with the school’s parent and alumni group in the past and helped gather donations for the restoration project. Wright said the painting is important to the school’s and city’s history.

“To say that a painting is a document is sort of a strange thing to say, but it really is an important document,” Wright said.

Repairs to the painting consisted of three stages.

The first was to begin stabilizing the painting, which included removing it from the warped board it was mounted on and giving it an initial surface cleaning, Edmondson said. The second and third stages involved more extensive surface cleaning, followed by extensive washing and finally in-painting with watercolors and pastels to

replace small spots where the paint was missing.

“We were very fortunate that all of the detail from the school building on down through the foreground was, I would say, probably 95 percent intact, it was just obscured with soot,” Edmondson said.

The restoration process stopped and started as funds ran out, but eventually enough money was gathered to complete it — the majority of it coming from donations by school alumni.

“They’re always there for us, supporting our efforts, and we appreciate it very much,” Harkin said.

“There’s not a line in our budget to preserve history, so we count on them to do it.”

The painting marks the beginning of the school’s long history in Lawrence.

The school was originally Liberty Memorial High School, named in honor of the 19 Lawrence high school alumni who died in World War I. When Lawrence High School was built about 30 years later, Liberty Memorial became a junior high and lost its historical name. In 2011, the school’s original name was incorporated into its current one.

In addition to individual donations raised by school groups, the Douglas County Heritage Conservation Council also contributed a $1,250 grant toward the final stage of the painting’s restoration.

The now brightly painted and newly framed rendering was recently hung in the school’s main hallway among other mementos.

“I think it’s just another layer that complements our proud history here,” Harkin said. “I think it’s something we’ll be able to highlight to students.”

Matchmaker should be invited to wedding Dear Annie: My college sweetheart, Ryan, and I are now engaged. We met at a bar because of a mutual friend, ‘‘Nancy.’’ Ryan and I are both shy people, and we were even shyer back then. Nancy actually grabbed my arm and dragged me over to meet Ryan that night because she had a feeling we’d like each other.

I lived with Nancy for two years during college, in a big house with lots of roommates, and although we were never best friends, we were still in the same friend group. When Ryan and I got engaged, Nancy contacted me saying how happy she was and how excited she was to be a bridesmaid because she was, in fact, the ‘‘reason’’ we met. That was an awkward moment!

We can’t even afford to invite all the people we would truly love to have there.

Nancy wasn’t originally on the list, and now I don’t know how to tell her she’s not a bridesmaid or even invited to the wedding. A limited budget can only go so far as an excuse, but it truly is the only

Voting rights The right to vote is at the heart of the American democracy we honor on the Fourth of July.

T

here is nothing more important to American democracy than the participation of its citizens through voting.

Voting in local, state and federal elections is a precious right that unfortunately is the subject of considerable confusion in Kansas these days. With the primary election less than a month away, Kansas remains mired in a number of court battles over which registered voters are allowed to vote and in which contests.

Last week, a federal judge refused to block a decision by the executive director of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to require voters in Kansas, Georgia and Alabama to present proof of citizenship to complete their registrations using a federal form. In other states, the federal voter registration form requires voters to swear under penalty of perjury that they are citizens but doesn’t require citizenship proof such as a birth certificate or passport.

Legal action challenging the EAC decision still is active, but the judge said the decision should stand until the case is decided at trial.

So, at least for now, the relatively few people who register using a federal form will not be able to vote in Kansas unless they provide proof of citizenship. That puts them in the same category with thousands of other Kansans whose voter registrations have been put on hold awaiting citizenship documents. That is, unless those voters registered at a Kansas motor vehicle office, in which case, according to another federal judge, the federal “motor voter” law requires that they be allowed to vote in federal, but not local and state elections.

And who knows what other confusion will be added to the Kansas voter registration system between now and the Aug. 2 primary election?

This is an especially important election for Kansas voters, who need to hold their elected representatives accountable for decisions that have had a devastating impact on the state’s economy, its K-12 schools, its state universities and other key state functions.

It’s critical that Kansas have a strong turnout of informed voters who express their opinions on the state’s direction for the future.

One of the things for which those state officials should be held accountable is the deplorable voter registration confusion that threatens to suppress the vote and compromise the integrity of the election results.

It’s unfortunate that so many obstacles have been placed in their way, but we encourage all Kansas voters to take the initiative to make sure they are properly registered to cast ballots in local, state and federal elections.

Voting is a basic right and responsibility that we all should honor — especially on the Fourth of July.

Saudi prince envisions major change Washington — For a kingdom that has survived by hedging its bets and resisting change, Saudi Arabia’s Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman proposes a series of sweeping reforms.

Saudi Aramco and other big, state-owned enterprises would be privatized; cinemas, museums and a “media city” would be created for a young population starving for entertainment; the power of the religious police would be curtailed; and, at some point, women would be allowed to drive.

MBS, as the 30-year-old prince is known, proposes to make an inward-looking, hyper-cautious Saudi Arabia look more like the neighboring United Arab Emirates, with its dizzying skyscrapers and freewheeling market economy. He seems to recognize that this economic transformation won’t be possible without easing Saudi Arabia’s strict Islamic traditions. His reform blueprint, “Vision 2030,” offered a tantalizing but unspecific commitment: “Our vision is a tolerant country with Islam as its constitution and moderation as its method.”

To appreciate the reformers’ challenge, it helps to have a clear mental picture of Saudi Arabia. This isn’t a tiny emirate like Kuwait, Bahrain or the UAE. It’s a vast sandy expanse, three times the size of Texas.

Saudi citizens number more than 20 million, just a few million fewer less than Australia. About half the popu-

“

The reform agenda, prepared with help from prominent American consulting companies, is startling.” lation is under 25, and male unemployment is 11 percent.

It’s a big country, with complicated problems.

The reform agenda, prepared with help from prominent American consulting companies, is startling. A “National Transformation Program,” issued in June, lists 178 strategic objectives; progress will be measured by 371 “key performance indicators.” The ministries will embark on 543 new initiatives.

The targets are highly specific: Non-oil revenue will more than triple by 2020.

Water and electricity subsidies will be slashed by more than $50 billion. The percentage of Saudis with digital health records will rise from zero to 70 percent. The number of cultural events in the kingdom will rise to 400 annually from 190.

The biggest piece of MBS’ reform effort may be his

plan for partial privatization of Saudi Aramco, the national oil company. The world had never seen a privatization of this size: Saudis reckon that Saudi Aramco’s valuation is between $2 trillion and $3 trillion. MBS and his advisers want to float less than 5 percent of the company to private investors, but even this tiny share could be worth more than $100 billion.

Privatization would shake up Saudi Aramco, and the welfare-state mentality spawned by the oil boom.

“Our business sector has become very lazy,” says a top Saudi source. The deputy crown prince “wants the welfare society’s destruction. He wants Saudi citizens to become more selfreliant. He wants people to be less dependent on the government.”

MBS has been barnstorming in Washington, California and New York in the last month to promote the program. He told Silicon Valley entrepreneurs on June 22 that in pushing for change, Saudi Arabia has the benefit of authoritarian rule. “There is an advantage to quickness of decision-making, the kind of fast change that an absolute monarch can do in one step that would take a traditional democracy 10 steps,” he said, according to notes taken by one participant.

The biggest question mark is whether MBS can alter the alliance between the House of Saud and the conservative religious establishment. This pact created

the Saudi state, but has also enfeebled it. He has already made some moves, including a royal decree in April that blocked the power of the religious police, known as the “mutaween,” to arrest people.

MBS’ advisers promise more such reforms, including more entertainment sites in the kingdom, museums that display Western art, more mixing of sexes in public places and, “very soon,” the opportunity for women to drive. But MBS also seems wary. He doesn’t want to give religious extremists an easy target by moving too quickly. He tells advisers that resistance from the religious leadership can be overcome, “but it takes courage.”

A prominent Arab official sums up the Saudi challenge this way: “Saudi Arabia has been accused of being too old, too slow and too backward. Finally, we have someone who’s moving forward and changing the country.

We need to give him some room to operate.”

A half-dozen prominent Saudi-watchers who’ve met MBS told me they think he has the potential to rebuild Saudi Arabia into a more dynamic country that’s much more able to protect its security and that of its neighbors. But many worry that he’s also capable of driving his country off a cliff with his headstrong, sometimes reckless behavior.

Happy Fourth of July from your flag

By James F. Burns The Miami Herald

I’ve been to the moon. I’ve been burned. But more often I’m honored.

I’m your American flag.

With 13 stars for colonies clamoring for freedom, I was first flown at Fort Stanwix in New York in 1777 — and then carried into battle for the first time at Brandywine in Pennsylvania.

By war’s end, I was saluted as the emblem of a sovereign nation, new and free. I’m your American flag.

But challenges lay ahead. With 15 stars and 15 stripes, I survived shock and shell at Fort McHenry in Baltimore in 1814. With the aid of rockets’ red glare and bombs bursting in air, I was spied from afar at dawn’s early light by a patriot poet. I was then celebrated in sight and song by a fledgling nation. I’m your American flag.

A half century later and with 33 stars and 13 stripes, I was saddened to see our nation divided. Our brothers’ blood was spilled in battle north and south. But by war’s end, Lincoln’s iconic words at Gettyburg prevailed — a unique nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. But that pledge was yet to be fully fulfilled.

I survived mustard gas and ghastly death in European trenches in World War I and, 48 stars strong, was hoisted by six soldiers on Mount Suribachi at Iwo Jima in World War II. I’m proud to be your American flag.

I was carried into battle over frozen turf in Korea, waved more proudly on flagpoles here at home with civil

It was the best of times and the worst of times, but through it all, I was your American flag.

I lost sons and daughters in the rice paddies and hellish jungles of Vietnam, saw some succumb to Agent Orange, and witnessed renewed conflict about taking me, your American flag, to faraway lands like Iraq and Afghanistan.

When and where warfare should be waged is an issue still troubling us today.

When our nation celebrated its bicentennial birthday in 1976 — 200 years after declaring our independence — I was there. When people parade on the Fourth of July and other occasions, I generally lead the parade. As I pass by, children along the parade route often stand at attention and proudly salute me while their parents or a grandmother behind them might have a tear rolling down their cheek in memory of

a loved one who served in uniform and didn’t make it home.

Often I’m inconspicuous, standing silently in the corner of a meeting hall or classroom — though far fewer of them nowadays. Indeed, I’ve fallen from favor for some incensed by actions our government takes. But I suffer in silence when abused or defiled for I represent all of our rights, including protesting and speaking our minds.

Though I spend most of my time here at home, I represent us around the globe at various foreign outposts, including military bases, embassies and consulates. And those row upon row of white crosses above the cliffs of Normandy and elsewhere where we left our honored dead are often decorated with my colors of red, white and blue. I’m your American flag.

But most of all I represent the American spirit, the indomitable demand and yearning for freedom, excellence and opportunity. I am not the flag of a ruling regime or royal family. I am the American flag, representing rights emanating from a higher and transcendent authority honored on our coinage.

Look up to me as you salute or stand at attention. Pledge yourself to fulfill lofty goals symbolized by my heavenly blue field for 50 stars. With red for valor and zeal and white for hope and purity, look up and salute with pride what the patriot poet hailed as a worthy star-spangled banner.

May it forever wave over the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Fixing immigrant impasse unlikely Whoever wins White House would have to get Congress to help Erin Kelly USA TODAY

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have vowed to take quick action on immigration as president, but Congress is poised to disappoint whomever wins the White House.

“The candidates are raising expectations that something will finally happen on immigration,” said Eric Herzik, a political science professor at the University of Nevada-Reno. “Then after one of them is elected, they’ll turn to Congress and reality will hit.”

Unless one political party unexpectedly wins a sweeping majority in both the House and Senate, Congress will remain deadlocked on the politically divisive issue, analysts say. Lawmakers have largely avoided major immigration legislation for the past three years.

“You’ll have a president who is trying to make some dramatic changes, but it seems unlikely that Congress will cooperate,” said Louis DeSipio, a professor of political science and Latino Studies at the University of California-Irvine.

Clinton has pledged that she will send legislation to Congress within her first 100 days in office to offer a pathway to citizenship for many of the 12 million undocumented immigrants already living in the U.S. and end deportation policies that split up families.

Trump has promised to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, triple the number of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, increase deportations, and stop granting automatic citizenship to anyone born in the U.S. If Clinton becomes president and Democrats win control of the Senate, it’s possible that senators could pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill similar to the one they approved in 2013.

At least 115 people were killed Sunday in a suicide bombing in central Baghdad claimed by the Islamic State, the deadliest attack in the Iraqi capital this year, officials said.

Among those killed were at least 15 children, 10 women and six police officers when a bomber’s pickup truck laden with explosives went off outside a crowded shopping center, wounding 187 other people, said police and Iraqi officials, according to the Associated Press.

The bombing was the first major Islamic State terror attack in Baghdad since U.S.-backed Iraqi forces recaptured Fallujah, a city about 35 miles west of the capital, in a major defeat a week ago for the terror organization.

The Iraqi government had hoped that driving the militants out of Fallujah would help prevent the Islamic State from getting bombs into the capital, since it straddles major roads into Bagh-

Rain may wash out some Independence Day celebrations Thunderstorms due in Washington, D.C. Trevor Hughes @trevorhughes USA TODAY

Mother Nature may dampen Independence Day celebrations on the National Mall, with rain and thunderstorms arriving in Washington, D.C., from a storm that already prompted some Midwestern towns to cancel festivities.

While many Americans will enjoy clear skies for July 4, the

nation’s capital is in the path of a slow-moving storm that could bring significant rain Monday.

The fireworks display on the National Mall has never before been canceled, but authorities are prepared to move it to Tuesday — July 5 — if safety concerns warrant. The show will begin at 9:09 p.m. ET, regardless of which day it’s held.

The storm already prompted cancellations of parades and fireworks in parts of Indiana. Some towns in southern New York delayed or rescheduled fireworks over concerns rain would wash out the festivities. Forecasters say New York City, Boston and

the Northeast should escape the rain on Monday night.

Of more significant concern are flash-flood watches Monday in northern Maryland and northern West Virginia, and flood warnings for parts of Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio. The National Weather service said areas of Maryland and Virginia could receive 2-3 inches of rain by Tuesday morning. Flooding in West Virginia last month killed 26 people and destroyed more than 1,000 homes.

“It looks like that area could see some heavy rain. That could be a major issue we see around that area,” said Allan Reppert, a

senior meteorologist with AccuWeather. “We’re not looking at very good conditions, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see some fireworks cancellations due to rains.”

Reppert said the West Coast will generally be clear, although the Seattle area could see a few light showers. He said there’s a potential for rain in parts of the West — including Denver and Salt Lake City — the Great Plains and the South, but nothing significant expected. That forecast generally holds for Texas and Oklahoma, he said, although Florida and Georgia could also see some rain.

TERRORIST ATTACKS

BANGLADESH OFFICIAL DOUBTS ISIL’S CLAIM FOR HOSTAGE-TAKING ASSAULT Six young invaders belonged to a banned local group, home minister says Trevor Hughes @trevorhughes USA TODAY

Bangladesh began two days of mourning Sunday for the 22 victims of the weekend hostage-taking assault, as a government official doubted the Islamic State’s claim of responsibility.

The attackers who killed 20 hostages and two police officers at a restaurant in the capital of Dhaka belonged to a banned domestic group, Jumatul Mujahedeen Bangladesh, and were not followers of the Islamic State, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan told Agence France-Presse and other media outlets.

The men had all apparently vanished from their normal lives some months ago, police told reporters following the attack that ended Saturday morning with six attackers killed.

“They are all Bangladeshis.

They are from rich families, they have good educational background.”

“They are all Bangladeshis.

They are from rich families, they have good educational background,” Khan said Sunday of the attackers, according to the Associated Press. One surviving suspect was detained when the 10-hour standoff ended Saturday morning, and authorities said he was being interrogated.

Police Inspector General A.K.M. Shahidul Hoque, however, said authorities were investigating the possibility the attackers might also have had ties to the Islamic State.

Three students from American universities were among those killed in Friday’s siege at the Holey Artisan Bakery in an upscale neighborhood in the capital. The 20 hostages killed included nine Italians, seven Japanese, two Bangladeshis, one Indian and one Bangladeshi American. Thirteen hostages were rescued.

Before the government launched the Fallujah operation in late May, the prime minister had faced some protests over security concerns. In one month, Baghdad’s fortified Green Zone, which houses government buildings and diplomatic missions, was stormed twice by anti-government protesters.

“What you want to achieve by killing people? Islam is the religion of peace. Stop killing people in the name Islam. ... Don’t pollute the holy religion. Come back to the right track and uphold the dignity of Islam,” Hasina said, the Dhaka Tribune reported.

The attack appears to mark an escalation from previous violence that targeted foreigners, activists and bloggers across Bangladesh, in many cases killings committed by men wielding machetes.

16, police said. No group claimed responsibility for that attack, which involved an improvised explosive device.

Sunday’s major bombing occurred shortly after midnight, when people were on the streets after breaking their daylight fast for the holy month of Ramadan.

Most of the victims were inside a multi-story shopping and amusement mall, where dozens burned to death or suffocated, the AP reported.

Zahraa Al-Nasiri, who lives a few streets from the bombing, said the blast was so strong it “pulled open the doors in our home.”

“After the explosion, there was a huge fire at the clothing and perfume stores,” she said. “Families inside the neighboring apartments were trapped inside The militants who took over the restaurant in the heart of the city’s diplomatic quarter were well-prepared and heavily armed with guns, bombs and large knives or swords, which police said were used to torture some hostages or mutilate bodies once dead.

Authorities ended the siege by crashing armored vehicles into the restaurant to rescue the hostages, firing dozens of gunshots and then tossing what appeared to be grenades or flash-bang explosives into the building.

During the siege, the attackers posted pictures from inside the restaurant to Isalmic State-affiliated websites, CNN reported. The U.S. State Department in February cautioned Americans considering travel to Bangladesh.

USA TODAY

Three cities in separate countries hit by suspected Islamic State terrorists in the past week dealt a tumultuous blow to safety in those regions, heightening fears of the militants’ capabilities and where they could strike next.

The reign of terror includes Sunday’s massive suicide bombing in Baghdad that killed more than 100 people, the weekend hostagetaking at a restaurant in the Bangladesh capital of Dhaka that left 22 dead and Tuesday’s bombing at the Istanbul airport that killed 44.

The massacres demonstrate that the Islamic State has established cells around the world — and is still capable of heinous attacks despite its recent setbacks on the battlefield.

“The Islamic State is losing territory in Iraq and Syria, but it is still a formidable opponent and very dangerous,” Bruce Riedel, a former CIA officer and an analyst with the Brookings Institution, said Sunday.

The militant group claimed responsibility for the assaults in Baghdad and Dhaka, and is strongly suspected of being responsible for the Istanbul bombing.

Since the Islamic State has suffered losses over the past two years in more conventional military operations, the extremist group is now focusing on guerilla warfare and terrorism, said Daniel Byman, a professor at Georgetown University’s Walsh School of Foreign Service.

He said that the more desperate the Islamic State becomes, the more the group, also known as ISIL or ISIS, will rely on amateurs.

san effort since neither party is expected to have the 60-vote supermajority needed to pass most legislation in the Senate. Even if a bill passes, it would likely be stopped in the House, which is expected to remain under GOP control.

Another Republican-led House would help Trump, but he would run into problems in the Senate, even if Republicans retain a slim majority there. The minority party has enormous power to block bills in the Senate.

“Major change on immigration is not going to happen,” said Jack Pitney, a political science professor at Claremont McKenna College in California.

The result, analysts predict, is that the next president will likely steal a page from President Obama’s playbook and take executive action to carry out at least some of his or her immigration goals.

Clinton has already said that, if Congress doesn’t act, she will take action to prevent the deportation of undocumented immigrants brought here as children, their parents and “others with a history of service and contribution to their communities.”

Obama took action in 2012 to give temporary protection from deportation to many undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children. In 2014, he expanded that program to protect more of those young immigrants

Immigrant activists march in front of the White House. and their parents — a move that would allow about 5 million undocumented immigrants to stay and work legally in the U.S. Those 2014 programs were effectively killed on June 23 when the Supreme Court deadlocked 4-4 over whether Obama overreached his authority. The tie vote left intact a preliminary injunction by a lower court that stopped the programs from ever taking effect.

However, if Clinton wins and fills the vacancy on the Supreme Court, she could potentially revive and expand Obama’s initiatives.

On the flip side, Trump has vowed to revoke Obama’s orders on his first day in office, effectively ending the legal wrangling over the programs.

Trump would still have trouble using executive power to accomplish his bigger goals, since only Congress can approve spending to hire more immigration enforcement officers and beef up border security, DeSipio said.

“Assuming that Mexico doesn’t offer him a check, Trump would need appropriations from Congress to build his wall,” the professor said.

But Trump could still make

significant changes by reversing the Obama administration’s deportation policy, which targeted undocumented immigrants with serious criminal records while allowing most others to remain.

Trump could rewrite that policy to deport anyone who entered the U.S. illegally or overstayed their visas, said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, which opposes most efforts to grant legal status to undocumented immigrants.

“There are a lot of things he could do immediately without Congress,” he said.

The same holds true for Clinton, said Krikorian, who predicted she might take action to give temporary protected status to the flood of Central American children who have been crossing the border during the last few years to escape gang violence.

“I think Hillary could do that, and it really would be dramatic,” he said, adding that his organization would oppose such a move.

Frank Sharry, executive director of the immigrant rights group America’s Voice, said House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., may find himself under the greatest pressure of all if Clinton wins and Democrats take control of the Senate and revive a bipartisan immigration reform bill.

“Then you’ll have a moment of truth for Paul Ryan,” Sharry said.

“What’s the House going to do?

That’s the big question.”

Weakened Turkey tourism worsens Series of terrorist attacks keeps foreign visitors from coming Onur Erem and Jabeen Bhatti Special for USA TODAY

ISTANBUL Turkey’s cratering tourism industry has prompted hotel operators and shopkeepers to file for bankruptcy, others to demonstrate against the government and some to go to mosques to perform “tourism prayers” in hopes of a miraculous turnaround.

More likely, tourism will sink even further after Tuesday’s terror attack at Ataturk International Airport, the latest in a string of bombings in Turkey over the past year that has scared away cruise ships, tour groups and other foreign visitors.

That means a huge loss of income for the country. In 2014, before the current wave of attacks began, Turkey earned $34 billion from tourism, equal to 5% of its economy, according to the Mediterranean Touristic Hotels Union. In 2015, when tourism declined, income fell to $31 billion, according to the government.

Troubles for the industry have mounted: “2016 became the worst year for tourism in the last 30 years,” said Adlihan Dere, president of the Chamber of Merchants and Craftmen of Antalya, a key tourist destination on the Mediterranean.

Antalya, known as the Turquoise Coast for its blue waters, saw a 60% drop in tourists this year, according to statistics from Antalya International Airport. More than 1,300 hotels have gone bankrupt in the region and put up for sale.

The problem is Turkey’s twofront battle raging in the southeast of the country and across the Syrian border against both Islamic State and Kurdish militants.

Since mid-2015, clashes have raged between the Turkish army and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) after the peace process fell apart. At the same time, an escalating battle against the Islamic State in Syria has led to militants

Tourists have stopped coming to see the sights of Istanbul, including the Yeni Cami mosque, following a series of terrorist attacks in the past year. The attack at Ataturk International Airport in Istanbul is likely to make the situation even worse.

“2016 became the worst year for tourism in the last 30 years.”

Businesses catering to tourists have felt the impact. “As you can see, there is nobody here,” said Tambi Yahia, owner of a shop in central Istanbul.

“In the summer we depend almost completely on tourists because many Turkish people go to the countryside,” Yahia added.

“And while last year was a little low for tourists, this year it’s 99% lower. Last year, we weren’t worried, but this year we don’t know what will happen.”

Adding to tourism woes was the Russian-Turkish diplomatic crisis following November’s downing of a Russian fighter jet in Syria by Turkey. After the attack, Russia forbid travel agencies from selling holiday packages to Turkey.

targeting Turkey, the government said.

In the past year, 17 attacks in seven cities have killed around 300 people and injured more than 1,000 by the Islamic State, the PKK and another Kurdish group called Kurdistan Freedom Falcons. After each attack, the number of tourists decreased.

In January, for example, a suicide bomber killed 10 people — at least eight of them German tourists — on the famed Sultanahmet Square near the iconic Blue Mosque. The tourist area was nearly deserted for weeks.

EXPLOSIVE DEVICE INJURES MAN IN N.Y. CENTRAL PARK

A man was seriously injured by an explosive device in New York’s Central Park on Sunday, according to local media reports.

WABC-TV reported that one man was critically injured by the explosion, which it said occurred at about 11 a.m. ET near Fifth Avenue and East 62nd Street.

An unnamed eyewitness said the man was climbing on a rock structure when he stepped on something that exploded, WCBS880 reported. The man suffered an injured leg and was being treated at the scene.

No details on the explosive device were immediately available.

NBC 4 New York, citing an unnamed senior law enforcement officer, reported that it appeared to be a fireworks device. Bomb units were arriving at the scene, according to the reports.

Nobel laureate and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel was being remembered Sunday at a private service in New York City.

Family and friends were gathering at Fifth Avenue Synagogue in the Upper East Side neighborhood of New York City to pay

tribute to Wiesel, who died Saturday at age 87.

Millions learned directly about the Holocaust through Wiesel, who began publishing work in the 1950s. He shared the harrowing story of his internment at Auschwitz as a teenager through his classic memoir Night, one of the most widely read and discussed books of the 20th century.

AUTHORITIES REVISE FLORIDA BUS CRASH DEATH TOLL TO 4

It is not clear how the death toll was first counted in the fiery crash between a bus and tractortrailer along Coastal Highway 98 on Saturday.

But authorities changed the tally of people killed in the collision from five to four the following morning. Twenty were still hospitalized.

“There was a lot of confusion when the call came out,” said Sgt. Josue Mora, a spokesman for the Florida Highway Patrol.

The large number of patients — 25 hospitalized at the time — and relaying information between multiple first-response agencies and hospitals presented a “challenge,” Mora said.

And one of the patients in critical condition, thought to have died, instead survived, he added.

WASHINGTON For nearly two decades, David Dilly worked as a strip miner for Simco-Peabody’s now-abandoned mine in Coshocton, where he helped remove layers of soil and rock to unearth Ohio’s rich coal beds.

Since being laid off in 2008, amid the global economic meltdown and a contraction in the coal industry, Dilly has received about $300 a month in pension benefits.

Now, Dilly’s retirement money is in jeopardy. The health and pension funds that Dilly and more than 100,000 other coal miners across the U.S. rely on are threatened with financial insolvency.

Ohio’s two U.S. senators — Democrat Sherrod Brown and Republican Rob Portman — are among those pushing for a legislative fix that supporters say would protect the coal miners’ hard-earned benefits, without costing taxpayers anything. The bill has broad bipartisan support, with Democrats and Republicans from Pennsylvania, Indiana and West Virginia leading an aggressive push to pass the measure before the end of the year.

But the bill has at least one powerful foe in Congress: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who portrays himself as a staunch defender of his home state’s coal industry.

“McConnell … has opposed this because he doesn’t like the United Mine Workers Union,” said Brown. “We could win this on a straight up or down vote.”

The United Mine Workers Union of America endorsed McConnell’s Democratic opponent, Alison Grimes, in the 2014 election, and the union’s political action committee spent more than $300,000 trying to defeat McConnell.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, speaks to reporters beside Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., on Tuesday.

“If we don’t get new money into this pension plan ... within the next 12 to 18 months, that fund will be past the point of no return.”

Phil Smith, United Mine Workers

Robert Steurer, a spokesman for McConnell, did not directly answer questions about whether the senator was blocking the bill.

Steurer also declined to spell out McConnell’s position on the proposal.

“Senator McConnell has been and remains committed to helping ensure the retirement security of our nation’s retirees, including coal miners,” Steurer said in an emailed statement. “He appreciates the importance of this issue ... and continues to believe this issue deserves an open, transparent debate through regular order.”

At the center of the legislative standoff is a 12-page bill called the Miners Protection Act. The bill would transfer excess money from the Abandoned Mine Land fund — a coal mine cleanup program — to the 1974 United Mine

Workers of America Pension Plan, which now pays benefits to about 120,000 retirees.

Although it’s a private, multiemployer pension fund, the UMWA plan has a special guarantee from the federal government — secured in 1946 when then-president Harry Truman’s administration helped negotiate a contract with mine workers who were threatening to strike.

“Coal miners made a commitment to provide the nation with much-needed energy even at the risk of their lives and health in often dangerous conditions,” UMWA International President Cecil Roberts told a Senate Finance Committee hearing in March. In exchange, he said, the government promised to ensure miners have health care and pension benefits.

About 6,500 Ohio retired coal miners receive these benefits, said Phil Smith, government affairs director of the mine workers union. In Kentucky, that number is approximately 10,000 retirees, he said, and “if we don’t get new money into this pension plan through this legislation within the next 12 to 18 months, that fund will be past the point of no return.”

TERRORIST ATTACKS

DEVASTATION

SABAH ARAR,, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

At top, Iraqi women walk past a damaged building at the site of a suicide car bombing Sunday, for which the Islamic State claimed responsibility. At right, Iraqis mourn the loss of five members of their family in the bombing that ripped through a busy Baghdad shopping district early in the day.

A pickup packed with explosives devastated a busy shopping area of Baghdad early Sunday. At least 115 people were killed in the suicide bombing claimed by the Islamic State.

It was the deadliest attack in the Iraqi capital this year and comes soon after the terrorist group was pushed out of territory it had controlled in the country, including Fallujah.

Iraqi officials had hoped that driving the militants out of Fallujah would help prevent them from getting bombs into the capital.

But the bombing reflects a shift in strategy as the Islamic State returns more to its terrorist origins. “They’re kind of regressing back to being a terrorist organization,” Lt. Gen. Charles Brown, who commands U.S. air forces in the Middle East, said in a recent interview with USA TODAY. Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi received an unwelcome greeting when he visited the bombing site in the Karada district later Sunday.

Video footage on social media showed an angry crowd, and witnesses said the prime minister’s car was pelted with rocks.

The White House condemned Sunday’s bombing.

APPLE SUED IN CHINA OVER WAR FILM Apple is being sued by a subsidiary of China’s broadcasting regulator over a propaganda film more than 20 years old, in the latest legal wrangling for the tech giant in China in recent weeks. A Beijing court says the case has been brought by a production center that alleges that Apple has infringed its exclusive online rights to broadcast a film that depicts Chinese fighting against Japanese soldiers in northern China in the early 1930s.

The plaintiff is also suing the developer and operator of the Youku HD app available on Apple’s App Store that it says enabled users to watch the film and caused it “huge economic losses,” according to the Beijing Haidian District People’s Court.

FORGET ABOUT BREXIT.

CORPORATE PROFIT IS NEXT HURDLE Market watchers have something new, brutal to worry about Matt Krantz

LACK OF GROWTH S&P 500 earnings growth is expected to fall again in the second quarter of 2016.

@mattkrantz USA TODAY

The Brexit scare may have passed, but there’s a potentially more serious thing to worry about: a big drop in corporate profits during the just-ended second quarter.

Some of the profit drops are likely to be brutal. Seven stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500, including mostly energy companies such as Anadarko Petroleum, EQT and ConocoPhillips are likely to see their earnings fall by 500% or more, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. That’s just the beginning.

Corporate bottom lines look pretty ugly for most companies.

Overall, S&P 500 earnings are predicted to drop 5% during the second quarter, making it the fourth-straight period of lower profit. The expected secondquarter profit drop is slightly better than the 6.8% decline in S&P 500 earnings in the first quarter, but it’s much worse than the 4.2% drop in the fourth quarter of last year and 1.4% decline in the third quarter of 2015.

It shouldn’t be a surprise to most investors that second-quarter earnings could be lousy, says Doug Sandler, equity strategist at Riverfront Investment Group.

The S&P 500 is up just 2.8% this year as investors have steadily lowered profit expectations for the quarter. “The good news is you’re coming in with low expectations,” Sandler says.

Not surprisingly, the energy

“The good news is you’re coming in with low expectations.”

Doug Sandler, equity strategist at Riverfront Investment Group

sector’s profits continue to implode. Anadarko, an oil and natural gas exploration company, is likely to lose 88 cents a share during the quarter, a brutal decline from the penny a share it earned in the same period a year ago. Oil prices, even after a 30% rally this year, are still 20% lower than they were a year ago, which puts a big crimp on the sector’s bottom line. It’s not just Anadarko: 18 of the 20 largest expected drops in quarterly profit are in energy companies. Overall, energy sector profits are likely to fall 80% from year-ago levels, including the 4,311% drop in expected profit at EQT and more than 1,000% drop expected at ConocoPhillips.

It would be a mistake to assume the profit recession is a problem just for energy investors.

Five of the 10 sectors, including consumer staples, financials, information technology, materials and telecom, will join energy in the profit decline if forecasters are right.

Outside the energy sector, toymaker Mattel is likely to post the largest decline in profit, seeing its bottom line shrivel up from a gain of a penny a share to a loss of 5 cents a share. The company is reeling from losing the Walt Disney licensing deal to make Disney Princess dolls.

If there’s a bright side to all this, it’s that investors seem to think things are bottoming for many companies. Shares of the 10 companies with the largest expected second-quarter drop have actually seen their shares rise nearly 33% this year on average.

Anadarko’s shares are up 13%; Range Resources is up 81%. Energy stocks were among the biggest winners in the second quarter.

“People are writing off a lot of the earnings weakness,” Sandler says.

You can masquerade as multilingual on Facebook, as it translates your posts Allana Akhtar USA TODAY

Facebook is letting you post messages in different languages — even if you don’t know the language.

The social networking giant announced Friday it will allow people to create posts in multiple languages, which will then display to users in their native tongue.

If you create a post in English, for instance, you could choose to let Facebook translate it into another language, like Spanish.

When it posts, English-speaking users will immediately see the post in English, while Spanish speakers will see the post in Spanish.

Facebook is introducing the feature to make all posts accessible to their vast numbers of global users.

Of Facebook’s 1.09 billion daily active users, 84.2% live outside the U.S. and Canada, and 50% of SAN FRANCISCO

Of Facebook’s 1.09 billion daily active users, 84.2% live outside the U.S. and Canada. Half of all users are non-English speakers. all users speak a language other than English.

Creators of public profiles to brands, celebrities and media companies have already been using this feature since February.

Software engineers Don Husa, Shawn Mei and Necip Fazil Ayan said authors create a post, then choose additional languages for

translation of that message. Facebook then uses a pre-fill feature and machine-learning models trained on “hundreds of thousands or millions of translations.”

Facebook displays the multilingual post to a user’s native language by determining their location, language preferences and the language they most com-

monly post in.

“We’re excited to see this tool help even more people on Facebook to connect with their friends who speak different languages,” Husa, Mei and Ayan said in a statemet.

The multilingual feature is part of a medley of changes Facebook announced last week. The social networking service also said it will increase posts from friends and family on News Feeds and allow users to create personal campaigns to raise money for non-profits.

Microsoft and Google, competitors to Facebook, had already stepped up their translation services.

Microsoft rolled out Skype Translator for Windows late last year, which translated conversations in real-time in six languages — English, French, German, Italian, Mandarin and Spanish.

Google Translate, meanwhile, allows Android users to translate text within any app merely by tapping on it.

Amazon wasn’t the only technology stock to outshine the broader market for tech shares during the past three months.

U.S. investors also hit the “play” button on shares of companies that get all or most of their revenue from the computergames business.

Sony, Activision Blizzard, Electronic Arts and NetEase all posted market-trouncing returns for the second quarter, a period when the Nasdaq was essentially flat.

So did shares of Nvidia, whose graphics chips are used in powerful computers favored by gamers.

The question now for momentum investors is how far the stocks can run, as these issues tend to be volatile.

Sony, for example, surged from $16 a share to $32 last year before diving back to $20.

Still, for investors who can stomach such swings, their recent momentum is worth a look.

Wall Street expects all five of these companies to post healthy revenue growth during their cur-

rent fiscal years.

The popularity of gaming has grown so great that it has spawned professional leagues and TV networks dedicated to showing their contests.

Meanwhile, the proliferation of consumer game platforms — from smartphones to homemedia consoles to virtual-reality headsets — is generating an explosion of new titles.

As usual, momentum investors want in on the action.

Activision Blizzard and Electronic Arts, two of the largest game developers by market cap, saw their stocks surge 17% and 14.5%, respectively, during the second quarter.

Nvidia shares leapt 32% while China-based NetEase, which hosts online games and other consumer Internet services, gained the most with a 35% surge.

Sony rose 14% after it reported a full-year profit in April — reversing two years of losses — due to sales of more than 17 million units of its latest game console, the PlayStation4.

This bullishness came during a quarter when most of the largest large-cap tech names saw their shares fall.

The surge means these companies are now among the 50-most valuable tech firms to trade in U.S. markets.

The optimism for gaming stocks also extended into Europe.

That’s where shares of Francebased Ubisoft Entertainment jumped 17% on the Paris exchange in the second quarter.

The global games business is like Hollywood, in that it’s hit-ormiss, which helps explain the volatility of these stocks.

While NetEase shares gained the most in the second quarter, for example, they started 2016 with a 25% plunge.

But for aggressive investors disciplined enough to buy on dips and take profits on price surges, there’s a case to be made for computer game stocks.

Q&A: ‘Young Turks’ founder is not so young and definitely not media-naive they can’t risk-averse.

Roger Yu

@ByRogerYu USA TODAY

Last week, Cenk Uygur expounded for nearly 17 minutes at his YouTube network studio about the suicide bombing attack in Istanbul Ataturk Airport.

The somber soliloquy revealed a personal, visceral interpretation of the attack that left more than 40 people dead in the Muslim country. The Istanbul native said he, for a fleeting few seconds after he heard the news, had to recall that his traveling parents weren’t flying out of Turkey that day.

“You couldn’t have a bombing closer to me because of my family and friends in that exact area,” he said. “The most likely culprit is ISIS. The reaction that some here in the U.S. have is ‘Let’s go get them.’ We’re already getting ISIS. That’s why Turkey just got attacked, because the planes that are bombing ISIS are taking off from Turkey. To insult (the victims’) loved ones ... and say ‘Muslims did it’ is preposterous and counterproductive.”

It was a performance his 2.97 million YouTube subscribers have come to expect from The Young Turks — unscripted, lots of hand gestures, professorial, liberal and defiant.

A child of Turkish immigrants, Uygur, 46, grew up in New Jersey as a “loudmouth” who loved talking politics with his father at the kitchen table, he told USA TODAY. Unsure of a career path after college, he went to law and practiced it for about seven months before landing a job at a public access radio station in Arlington, Va. A string of TV and radio gigs followed, including a stint as an MSNBC talk show host.

Eager to dabble in new technology, he started in 2005 the video version of The Young Turks, his radio program on Sirius Satellite Radio at the time. Now, The Young Turks, basically a no-frills politics-and-news conversation show featuring Uygur, co-host Ana Kasparian and other guests, is one of the largest and oldest online news shows, with subscriber numbers that would be the envy of broadcast networks.

He has gone corporate as well, creating TYT Media as the umbrella company. With production deals with Univision-owned Fusion, TYT Media aims to launch projects in the legacy medium of TV. His comments have been edited for brevity and clarity.

Q: ANY INTEREST IN POLITICS?

Cenk Uygur appears on a new Facebook-native show, Final Judgment. the oldest online show. Some have been streaming before us, but they went out of business. We are the lone survivor.

Q: WHAT ARE YOUR ONLINE NUMBERS?

We just crossed 4 billion lifetime views. We have 3 million subscribers for The Young Turks.

TYT Network has 30 channels and it has 6 million subscribers just on YouTube and 8 million subscribers across the Web, including Facebook. In March, we had 218 million views and 86 million unique viewers.

Q: WHAT’S THE SECRET SAUCE?

I don’t think we’re great hosts. I think anyone who’d have done shows like ours would have had this kind of success. The country was thirsty for an authentic voice.

We look to the camera and tell real stories. No teleprompter. We are excited about the news. The old school is taught to be dispassionate and that gives off vibes to the audience that they don’t care.

Q: HAVE YOU ALWAYS BEEN COMFORTABLE ON CAMERA?

Yes and no. I was always kind of a loudmouth to the point where I annoyed my teachers and friends.

But I was super nervous for the first seven shows. I got a little better after that because I came up with a trick. I looked at the camera and think it’s my girlfriend.

And I’m telling (her) a story.

Q: WHAT’S YOUR CURRENT REVENUE?

We’re in many millions in revenue. But we are also in many millions in expenses. The company is up to 60 people now. But it’s a healthy business.

Q: HOW DO YOU GENERATE REVENUE?

YouTube sells advertising for us.

There are subscribers (who) pay $10 a month. That sustains us and gives us the right financial incentives. Be true to your audience or you will lose money. There are other smaller ways, like merchandising. We sold a lot of Bernie Sanders shirts in the last few months. There’s original programming. We sold a TV show to Fusion. It’s their show and they pay us to produce it. Another huge component is Facebook and Facebook Live. We had over 1 million views in January (2015).

We now have 55 million to 60 million views a month just on Facebook. On (“over-the-top” video services), we are top five in minutes viewed. We’re on Comcast’s Watchable. We just did a deal with Amazon.

You’re like fourth or fifth person to ask me that in a week. In this system, hell no. Spending 50% of your time asking rich people for money. And which congressman or senator gets to talk to 86 million people a month? Why would I give that up?

Q: MUCH OF YOUR POPULARITY COMES FROM THE YOUTH MARKET. WAS THAT DELIBERATE?

It was totally accident.

Our audience is young.

But it turns out we’re older than the average YouTube audience.

It’s 13 to 24, whereas we’re 18 to 34. Now that we have a big presence on Facebook, that’s made us older. We’re stretching to 45. But I want the whole spectrum.

Q: YOUR NOTELEPROMPTER, CONVERSATIONAL APPROACH HAS STRUCK A NERVE. WHY AREN’T WE SEEING MORE OF IT ON TV?

Same reason why they didn’t want me going off the teleprompter at MSNBC. If I’m off the teleprompter, management doesn’t get to see what I’m going to say. They deem it to be a risk

HP’s MacBook rival comes loaded with trade-offs Spectre 13 laptop is super thin, but that charger you’ll need to tote adds to burden

Ed Baig

@edbaig ebaig@usatoday.com USA TODAY

PERSONAL TECH

NEW YORK HP says its Spectre 13 laptop is the world’s thinnest. My question: What concessions

did it make?

I’ll get to those trade-offs, which range from battery life to the lack of a touch-screen.

First, I must praise the physical attributes of this sexy-looking, dark-gray-and-gold premium Windows 10 notebook.

HP Spectre 13 is skinnier at 10.44 millimeters than the MacBook from Apple, though at 2.45 pounds it is a bit heavier than its Apple rival. Forced to choose, the MacBook still wins my aesthetics vote.

That said, Spectre is light and appealing, and the carbon-fiberand-aluminum machine feels sturdy. HP’s designers are using a recessed piston hinge to fold it down into its svelte profile. The company says it was inspired by high-end furniture design.

The Spectre starts around $1,170 but can climb north of $1,550, depending on your choice of processor, storage and other specs.

Indeed, computers in this slim,

HP Spectre 13 is light, appealing and sturdy. ultraportable category typically carry the weightiest prices. The MacBook starts at $1,299.

Most satisfying on Spectre is the full-size, back-lit keyboard, which to my digits feels as good as many of the keyboards I’ve used on far chunkier notebooks.

The keys have a proper amount of “travel.” I never totally warmed up to the flattened keys on the MacBook.

Another edge for the Spectre comes with the powerful Intel Core i5 or i7 processors that HP employs, more robust than the chips used in many rival ultraportable machines, including the MacBook. Of course, you’re only likely to notice the extra processing power if you’re involved in more intense computing chores, perhaps high-end photography

THE BOTTOM LINE HP Spectre 13 $1,170, www.hp.com uPro. Thin and light. Excellent keyboard, snappy processors, nice screen. uCon. Lacks touch. Mediocre touch pad. Fair battery life.

editing or when you’re transcoding video.

The audio on the Spectre, piped through Bang & Olufsen speakers, sounded good.

There’s one more chief advantage that HP has over the MacBook: the number of ports. Both computers exploit the emerging USB Type-C flavor, but where Apple supplies just one such port, which is often occupied by the machine’s power adapter, HP gives you three (on the rear). Two of the USB-C ports on Spectre can drive Thunderbolt connections to 4K displays, or docks.

And you can plug in the power adapter to any of the trio. Tradeoff: You’ll still need an adapter to connect regular USB accessories.

Now, about those other concessions. The 13.3-inch, Gorilla Glass-protected full-HD display screen is very nice. Given the machine’s premium status, however, I wish HP had given us 4K. Apple does not offer 4K on the MacBook, but its 12-inch display (smaller than the HP) offers sharper resolution.

Neither machine supports a touch-screen display but that seems like more of a critical omission for HP, again factoring in price, and because Windows 10 (unlike the Mac operating system) relies more on touch. Out of habit, I periodically touched the display on the Spectre 13, to no avail of course. If touch is a must, consider a viable Windows 10 al-

ternative in this class such as the Dell XPS 13, a notebook I’m particularly fond of. To get it with a touch-screen from Dell, however, you’re looking at around $1,500 or higher.

HP’s reasoning is that two of three customers surveyed would choose thin and light over touch, anyway, and that 79% of premium laptops sold last year were non-touch. That may be so, but I’m squarely in the camp that wants touch. I didn’t find the relatively modest-size glass touch pad on the Spectre particularly responsive either.

Battery life was also lacking.

HP says it used whatever available internal space it could find to fit in four battery cells (in two shapes), and the company claims up to 91⁄2 hours of juice. But in my intentionally harsh test, in which I cranked up the brightness all the way, turned off battery saving measures and streamed video off Netflix, I barely approached five hours. You’ll do better under more “normal” circumstances, but I still found the result disappointing. And the charger you might want to keep handy adds to your traveling weight.

On balance, HP has legitimate reasons to brag about this thinnest of notebooks — the keyboard’s terrific, there’s processing oomph. But Spectre 13 also demonstrates that keeping to a diet means giving certain things up.

Maxwell shines in ‘blackSUMMERS’night’ Neo-soul pioneer channels Prince in sensual new album “I just wanna dance, baby,” Maxwell sings on III, a pulsing track on his new album, blackSUMREVIEW ELYSA MERS’night (eeeg GARDNER out of four), out Friday. Then, a moment later, he begs, “Let me feel something/More than just an ordinary night.”

There’s the yearning, positiveminded duality Maxwell embraced as a leading proponent of what came to be known in the late ’90s as neo-soul. The singer/ songwriter was one of a few artists who channeled the textures and values of a more idealistic era to break through the colder carnality that often prevailed in pop and hip-hop at the time.

It’s poignant that blackSUMMERS’night — the second installment in a trilogy that kicked off with 2009’s BLACKsummers’night — should arrive just months after the death of the genre-bending giant who greatly impacted Maxwell, and neo-soul

blackSUMMERS’night is the second in a planned trilogy.

generally. There’s no contemporary artist who carries Prince’s torch more conspicuously than Maxwell, both in his singing — grainy and sultry in his middle and lower registers, reaching for delirious depths, but floating to a breathy, fluttery falsetto — and his refusal to see sensual and spiritual fulfillment as contradictory goals.

Maxwell’s new album opens, fittingly enough, with a song ti-

tled All the Ways Love Can Feel, its brisk, lithe arrangement spiced with funky horns and shimmering peals of guitar. The blissful single Lake By the Ocean delivers a deeper, more insistent groove, as Maxwell pines to “live in a flame where we’ll never burn.”

Relationships are seldom that simple, of course, as Maxwell, now in his 40s, acknowledges. On Fingers Crossed, his voice is raw with urgency as he chases a wary lover over charging piano strings, pleading, “If you get the courage baby. ... Maybe your love was just a world away.”

Gods offers a more somber assessment of a love gone wrong, and affirms Maxwell and long-

time collaborating producer/ writer Hod David’s affinity for sprinkling electronic accents into spacious, organic-sounding tracks. (In III, keyboards serve a very different mood with a brighter foundation.) The ominous, bluesy Lost wears its darkness in the form of wailing guitars and darkly buzzing, swelling strings.

But the overall tone on blackSUMMERS’night is still one of hope and gratitude. If Maxwell seems to approach bitterness or desperation on the previous two songs, he never succumbs to them, or tries to drag his subject down. At once meditative and playful, sexy and sincere, the album proposes that romantic love can grow even more intense, and rewarding, with time.

“There’s no song that defines it,” Maxwell sings over lush strings on the twinkling, beatific 1990x, adding, “There’s just you and the moment. ... Let’s ride the galaxy and find who we are.”

Judging by the evidence here, that curiosity and optimism should carry over to his creative journey as well.

Aldrich, Arthur cash in already

Pushing forward

It’s not exactly LeBron James returning to Cleveland, but NBA free agency provided former Kansas University star Cole Aldrich with an opportunity to go home and play for a franchise that means a lot to him.

According to various media reports Sunday, the 6-foot-11 Burnsville, Minn., native agreed to a threeyear, $22 million contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Drafted 11th overall in 2010 after a standout college career with the Jayhawks, Aldrich struggled to earn playing time in his first few seasons in the NBA, before having breakout success this past year with the Los Angeles Clippers.

WIMBLEDON

London (ap) — Serena Williams has won so many Grand Slam matches that she’s lost count.

Then again, as she noted Sunday, it’s her losses that get a lot more attention nowadays.

Looking much more ready for Week 2 at Wimbledon than she did in her previous outing, Williams joined Martina Navratilova as the only women with 300 victories at major tournaments in the Open era by overwhelming Annika Beck 6-3, 6-0 in 51 minutes to get to the fourth round.

“Every time I step out on the court, if I don’t win, it’s major national news,” Williams said a day after her counterpart in the men’s draw, No. 1 and defending champion Novak Djokovic, was ousted. “But if I do win, it’s just like a small tag in the corner.”

Pushed to three sets her last time out, Williams was about as dominant as can be against her 43rd-ranked German opponent. Nearly perfect, even.

Williams won the last 17 points she served. She won 24 of the last 28 points overall. She accumulated 25 winners to two for Beck.

Afterward, the six-time Wimbledon champion was asked whether she knew she had reached a milestone by getting her 300th Grand Slam match win, breaking a tie with Chris Evert for second place behind Navratilova’s total of 306.

“No. Was it? Cool. Oh, nice,” the 34-year-old American said with a laugh. “I had no idea.

That’s awesome, right? That’s good, right?”

She’s now 300-42, an .877 winning percentage, and will go for No. 301 right away: All 16 men’s and women’s fourthround matches are scheduled for Monday, when Williams faces two-time major champion Svetlana Kuznetsova.

Yes, thanks to sun on Sunday, the tournament is all caught up after persistent rain left a backlog of matches. This was only the fourth time since The Championships, as they’re called around these parts, began 139 years ago that matches were played on the middle Sunday.

On the other three occasions — 1991, 1997, 2004 — fans lined up overnight to buy tickets that normally are so difficult, and expensive, to come by, creating a loud festival of flag-waving, face-painted folks thrilled to be on-site for once. This time, seats could only be purchased online, and there was a far-lessvibrant vibe than in the past on what was known as “People’s Sunday.”

“I thought it would feel really different,” Williams said, asked to compare this day with an average one at the grasscourt Grand Slam, “but it didn’t feel really different.”

If anything, this middle Sunday was oddly subdued. Silent, even. Arenas were filled with rows and rows of unclaimed green chairs. .

“Strange feeling, a little bit,” said No. 7 Richard Gasquet, who helped give France four men in the round of 16 at Wimbledon for the first time since 1929, “because ... I don’t see many people around.”

DUSTIN JOHNSON TEES OFF ON THE SECOND HOLE of the Bridgestone Invitational on Sunday at Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio.

Dustin Johnson claims (another) World crown Akron, Ohio — Dustin Johnson returned from celebrating his U.S. Open victory by taking down the world’s No. 1 player to win another World Golf Championship.

Johnson didn’t miss a beat from Oakmont to Firestone, powering and putting his way to a 4-under 66 on Sunday to win the Bridgestone Invitational for his second straight victory, making him the player to beat heading into the British Open in two weeks.

“This golf course is playing so tough, it’s not like I need to go out and shoot 63,” Johnson said.

“You just try to hit it in the fairway and get to get it on the green and try to make some putts. I knew if I shot 4 or 5 under I’d have a chance.”

Jason Day, poised for his first victory in his adopted home state of Ohio, helped make it easy for Johnson.

Day had a one-shot lead when he missed a four-foot par putt on the 15th hole, and then collapsed with a series of bad shots and bad choices. He tried to play it safe off the tee on the 655-yard 16th hole and hooked a 3-wood into the trees. He blasted through the branches and through the fairway, getting a good break when a young fan picked up his ball, allowing Day to drop it from behind a tree.

Then, he tried to squeeze a shot from 200 yards around the pond. It came up short and rode the collar of the bank into the water, leading to double bogey. Day didn’t hit a green in regulation over the final six holes, closed with a bogey and shot 72 to tie for third.

“Disappointed, but I’ve got to try and focus on what I did great this week, move on, and try and get better for the next one,” Day said.

Scott Piercy was a runner-up to Johnson for the second straight time. He narrowly missed birdie chances, and the birdie putt he made on the 18th gave him a 70 and allowed him to finish alone in second.

Johnson, who finished at 6-under 274, moved to a career-best No. 2 in the world.

Spieth closed with a 67 and tied for third with Matt Kuchar (66), Kevin Chappell (67) and Day.

GOLF

Chalmers holds off Woodland Reno, Nev. — Greg Chalmers won the Barracuda Championship on Sunday at Montreux for his first PGA Tour title, eagling the final hole for a six-point victory in the modified Stableford scoring event.

The 42-year-old Australian left-hander broke through in his 386th start after entering the week as the active player with the most events without a victory.

A point ahead of former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland and needing at least a par on the par-5 18th to wrap up the victory, Chalmers made an eight-foot eagle putt after hitting a 320-yard drive and 230-yard approach. Earlier, Woodland three-putted for a bogey on 18.

Chalmers earned a two-year tour exemption and a spot in the British Open in two weeks at Royal Troon. With only conditional status, he split time between the tour and the Web.com Tour this year.

Chalmers had a four-point round to finish with 43 in the scoring system that awards eight points for double eagle, five for eagle, two for birdie and deducts a point for bogey and three for double bogey or worse.

Woodland, the 2013 winner, also had a fourpoint round to finish second.

Jaidee takes French Open Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, France — Thongchai Jaidee produced an impressive display of front-running to win the French Open by four strokes, as Rory McIlroy failed to deliver a final-round surge Sunday.

Starting the day with a two-stroke lead over McIlroy, the 46-year-old Jaidee birdied two of his first six holes and shot a 3-under 68 to finish on 11-under 273 at Le Golf National outside Paris, where the 2018 Ryder Cup will be staged.

Henderson defends at Portland Portland, Ore. — Defending champion Brooke Henderson survived some tense moments on the back nine on the way to a four-stroke victory Sunday at the LPGA Cambia Portland Classic.

The second-ranked Henderson shot a 14-under 274 after a final round 71 at Columbia Edgewater Country Club, pulling away from American Stacy Lewis.

Sagan claims Tour stage Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, France — Strangely, Peter Sagan did not celebrate his first Tour de France yellow jersey with his trademark wheelie.

He did not even pump his fist or raise his arms as he crossed the finish line on Sunday to end a three-year winless run at cycling’s showpiece race.

The world champion simply didn’t know he had won the stage.

“I’m very surprised I won, because I was thinking there were still two guys in front,” said Sagan.

Sporting KC tops Crew, 3-2 Kansas City, Kan. — Matt Besler scored in stoppage time to help Sporting Kansas City beat the Columbus Crew 3-2 on Sunday night and extend its unbeaten streak to four games.

Besler headed home the winner, off Ike Opara’s feed, in the 91st minute. It was Besler’s first goal since 2011.

Ola Kamara gave Columbus (3-6-7) the lead in the 22nd minute.

Tyson Wahl received a red card in the 48th, leaving the Crew a man down the rest of the way, and Benny Feilhaber’s penalty kick tied it about a minute later.

Graham Zusi’s first goal of the season put Sporting (7-8-4) up 2-1 in the 56th minute, but Kamara raced behind the defense to side-net a long feed from Tony Tchani and tie in the 75th.

Kamara has seven goals in the last five matches.

Columbus, limited to just six shots, has just one win in its last nine games and is winless in its last four.

Last season, according to basketball-reference. com, Aldrich earned $1.1 million with the Clippers before opting out of his contract to test the open market. He’s set to bring in nearly seven times that much this coming season.

Previously, the burly pivot’s biggest paydays came in the third season of his rookie deal, which paid him $2.4 million for the year. The following season, he made $981,084 with the Knicks.

SCOREBOARD

Booker Workout Warrior, I’ve had to tell each one of those guys at some point, ‘All right, you’ve got to pick it up.’ Something.

I never have to tell him anything.

“It’s crazy. I don’t know if I’ve ever been around a guy like him. A lot of people can do it for a few days or a few weeks, but, I mean, he’s done it for a year, and the level is what’s kind of astonishing because it’s all as hard as he can freaking go.”

At 6-foot-2, Booker is a big target. KU’s quarterbacks looked to him often last season as a possession receiver. He caught 23 passes but averaged just 9.91 yards per catch and didn’t find the end zone.

Booker’s work toward improving that figure extends beyond the practice field, where he said he has benefited greatly from the tutelage of Phillips, whom he called “a great technician.” Booker learns by watching as well.

He mentioned Dez Bryant, Calvin Johnson, Julio Jones and Demaryius Thomas as his favorite NFL receivers.

“I look up to Demaryius Thomas a whole lot, the way he plays the game, the way he runs his

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Strasburg pulled from no-hit bid The Associated Press

National League Nationals 12, Reds 1 Washington — Stephen Strasburg was removed from a no-hit bid after 62⁄3 innings, and Ramon Cabrera singled against Matt Belisle leading off the eighth for Cincinnati’s first hit in Washington’s rout of the Reds on Sunday.

Activated from the disabled list before the game after missing two starts due to an upperback strain, Strasburg (110) threw 109 pitches, five shy of his season high.

Strasburg has won a franchise-record 14 straight decisions and is the first NL starter to begin a season 11-0 since San Diego’s Andy Hawkins in 1985.

Danny Espinosa homered twice, including his second grand slam in four games, and Wilson Ramos, Bryce Harper and Anthony Rendon hit solo homers.
