Downtown grocery plans growing

rust me, I’m familiar with the idea of supersizing at the grocery store. There’s a reason my house has cereal boxes that can double as walk-in closets.

Lawrence skates by teacher drought Local schools ‘fortunate’ amid statewide shortage By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

Kansas may face a teacher shortage in coming years. Fewer Kansas college students are majoring in education, shrinking the supply of certified teachers to replace those who are retiring and resigning, according to a report issued this week by a Kansas State Board of Education task force. “That gives us the most concern,” Ken Weaver, dean of The Teachers College at Emporia SCHOOLS State University and co-chair of the task force, said in a news release. For now, though, unfilled teacher vacancies are confined to specific districts, and the Lawrence school district continues to fare well in the teacher hiring market. In the Lawrence district, 118 certified teachers left their positions last school year, about one-third of whom retired. That number is consistent with years past, and Please see TEACHER, page 2A

Federal appeals court agrees to quickly hear Kansas voting rights case Associated Press

Wichita — A federal appeals court has agreed to quickly hear an appeal that could affect the voting rights of thousands of voters in Kansas, Georgia and Alabama. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia set on Wednesday an expedited schedule in the case of a U.S. election official who without public notice required documentary Newby proof-of-citizenship on a federal registration form for residents of the three states. People in other states need only swear they are citizens. A federal judge in Washington, D.C., sided against a coalition of voting rights advocates who seek a temporary order overturning the move by Brian Newby, the executive director of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission. The appeals court set deadlines for July and early August for the parties to submit written arguments.

publicly funded arts center that Lawrence has, and it does not invest large amounts of public money in public art the way many in Lawrence would like to see their city do. Instead, Topeka has had to rely more heavily on drawing significant investment from private sources within the community. “I consider myself from Lawrence and strongly support the arts, visual and performing, there,” Stockwell said. “Having lived in Topeka the last 15 years, I’ve found differences. However, the struggles remain the same. Those struggles primarily consist of convincing the community of the value of the arts, not only to increase the value of life, but also to the local economy.” Herbert apologized on Facebook Wednesday evening for his comment, saying that he was referring to “the legislature which convenes in Topeka,” not “the private citizens and artists of Topeka.” “In expressing my desire to see Lawrence stick to their culturally vibrant roots I didn’t need to degrade anyone else’s city,” Herbert wrote. “That was a very poor choice and for that I am truly sorry.” — This is an excerpt from Peter Hancock’s Statehouse Live column, which appears on LJWorld.com.

iums in the Hobbs Taylor Lofts. There are covenant issues related to the former Borders property that would make it difficult to build a traditional grocery store on the site. Those covenants were put in place, in large part, to protect the adjacent Hobbs Taylor Lofts development. Fleming said the development group is actively engaged in conversations with Hobbs Taylor Lofts, and said that issue hasn’t yet been resolved. “We’re listening to their concerns,” Fleming said. It also will be interesting to watch what the reaction is to tearing down the old Borders building. The Borders building isn’t a historic one. It was built in the 1990s. But it replaced an older building, and there was a nasty fight about whether that building should be demolished to make way for the Borders building. Part of the compromise that was reached is that a couple of the walls of the original building remained. Fleming and I didn’t get into details about how they plan to construct this new three-story building, but that will be an issue to watch. Donald Trump’s wall may not

be the only one that gets discussion this fall. Tearing the building down, though, appears unavoidable, if the project is to move forward as now proposed. Fleming said the underground parking garage is a key to the entire deal. He said grocery stores demand a lot of parking before they commit to a project. The project easily could require 200 spaces or more. “It is hard to do that without digging a hole,” Fleming said. And, he added, it is hard to dig a hole, if the building remains. Watching the reaction of the East Lawrence Neighborhood Association also will be interesting. Fleming said the developers have begun discussions with that group. He said he thought the discussions have gone well, thus far. But this project is still in the early stages. No development plans have been filed yet, so there are probably more twists and turns to come. Although I didn’t delve into the topic with Fleming, I suspect this project will request a significant amount of incentives from the city. The city currently is debating how or whether it should of-

fer incentives, especially for projects that include apartments. Fleming told me he anticipates the developers would seek to set aside about 15 percent of the apartments for an affordable housing program. Whether that will be an acceptable number to the city also will be worth watching. Warm up the forklift to fetch the supersize popcorn because there will be many things worth watching on this project. The project has the chance to be fascinating because it is the rare one that has caused downtown developers and East Lawrence residents to both say the same things at times: Both groups essentially have ached to have a downtown grocery store for a number of years. Both think that it can be pretty positive to the health of downtown and the adjacent neighborhoods. But now we are getting down to the details, and you know what they say about those. Of all the art forms that Lawrence is proud of, it will be interesting to see if the art of compromise is among them.

Teacher

tions in special education also remain open. “We’re feeling the pinch, I suppose, just like everybody else, in the context of when you have fewer people in education, the whole pool of people in the market place is a little bit lower,” Cunningham said. “But we’re not having trouble hiring people.” That the Lawrence district continues to fill its positions despite the decreasing supply also follows statewide trends. The report says that rural districts and high-poverty urban districts, such as Wichita and Kansas City, have the hardest time hiring teachers. Of the approximately 275 unfilled vacancies in the state last school year, many were clustered in those regions. The task force did not have data indicating the reasons that teachers are resigning, but noted that

some factors included low salaries, low esteem for the profession and instability of state funding. The starting salary for a teacher with a bachelor’s degree in Lawrence is $37,730 for the upcoming school year. A teacher’s salary increases with additional years of service and education, and the average teacher salary for the district in 2015 was $54,207, according to Kansas State Department of Education databases. Cunningham said the district also doesn’t have empirical data indicating why teachers resign. “We don’t necessarily know how many people are saying, ‘You know, I just don’t want to work in education at all,’ Cunningham said. “We don’t really track that kind of exit data.” The task force, which includes educators and state board members, rec-

ommended that the board create a committee to report annually on the supply and demand of teachers. It also recommended that school districts develop incentives, such as hiring bonuses and additional steps in pay scales, to recruit and retain teachers. Cunningham acknowledged that even for districts such as Lawrence that tend to draw a steady number of applicants, the statewide trends are important to watch. “The fact is, as the total number of people going into education decreases and you have more and more people retire over time, at some juncture, one would theorize everybody is going to struggle hiring people,” Cunningham said.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

the district has already filled a large part of those vacancies, according to David Cunningham, the district’s executive director of human resources and legal services. “While we know that on a statewide basis things are slowing down — there are not as many people going into education and some people are getting out,” Cunningham said. “… We’re pretty fortunate. We’ve been able to find quality teachers.” This is the first time that the state board of education has tracked the supply and demand of teachers statewide. The report says that about 2,800 Kansas teachers left the profession last year, about 40 percent of whom retired.

In the meantime, the report says the most recent data available shows the number of students choosing to major in education has decreased significantly. From 2011 to 2014, the number of education majors in public and private colleges in Kansas decreased 31 percent, from about 7,750 to 5,400. The number of teaching degrees completed dropped 16 percent during that time, from about 2,270 to 1,900. Those numbers didn’t seem to affect hiring in Lawrence for this year. Cunningham said that of the 118 certified teaching positions vacated last school year, the district has already made 93 new hires to date. All elementary positions are filled, and only about 5 classroom positions remain open at the secondary level, he said. In addition, some traditionally hard-to-fill posi-

County praises proposed quarry agreement By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

The Douglas County Commission accepted Wednesday the 2015 review of a quarry north of Clinton Lake, while lauding staff’s efforts to develop a new maintenance agreement for a haul road to the site. Douglas County Public Works Director Keith Browning told commis-

sioners a new agreement negotiated with N.R. Hamm for the Hamm Buchheim Quarry would have the quarry pay the county 25 cents for every ton of rock transported from the COUNTY 70-acre site on East 550 Road COMMISSION just north of Clinton Lake. That payment would allow the county to treat the section of East 550 Road that Hamm uses

to transport rock from the quarry with a more effective dust control “stabilization” method, Browning said. The agreement would soon be ready for the County Commission’s consideration, Browning said. For their part, commissioners agreed Please see QUARRY, page 4A

Additionally, Douglas County Treasurer Paula Gilchrist requested her first additional staffer in 10 years to help process work that the state has passed down to the county level. Wednesday’s requests came a day after commissioners heard requests from Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center and Cottonwood Inc. to provide additional support to offset the loss of state dollars.

“It’s matured over the years through word of mouth,” says event organizer Bob Sanner, who alternately describes his title as “head trash collector” of the races. “From the first several Tours of Lawrence, it was people coming through and seeing if Lawrence knew anything about hosting or organizing a cycling event. We’re into year eight, and I think it’s been demonstrated that, yes, we do.” The city of Lawrence, he says, provides a perfect backdrop for the tour, which this year includes venues such as the Haskell Indian Nations University campus and the Breezedale

Downtown Lawrence also plays a vital role, with the stretch of Vermont Street between Seventh and Ninth streets hosting street sprints, the tour’s first official event, Friday at 6:30 p.m. From 6:30 to 10 p.m. that night, Tour of Lawrence will host a free kids’ zone in the nearby area of Eighth Street between Vermont and Kentucky streets.

Topeka (ap) — A top Kansas lawmaker is questioning an arrangement that has seen a state agency’s interim leader in the position for more than six months. The Topeka CapitalJournal reports that Tim Keck has served as interim secretary for the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability since Jan. 1. Democratic state Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley says a state law appears to prohibit acting secretaries from serving more than six months. “The issue here, I believe, is we went through an entire legislative session where we could have confirmed Tim Keck to be secretary of KDADS, and we didn’t do that,” Hensley said. Hensley said that he is not suggesting that Keck step down, but that Brownback needs to correct the situation and submit Keck’s name as permanent secretary.

it would cost county taxpayers $800,000, he said. The influence of decisions from the Statehouse also affected the proposed budget in less direct ways. Weinaug said he didn’t recommend including Sheriff Ken McGovern’s requests for five additional correctional officers at the Douglas County Jail, one additional transport deputy and four patrol deputies because such positions were exempt from tax lid legislation that goes into effect with the 2018 budget. Except for such exempt spending, proposed property tax-supported spending greater than inflation as measured by the consumer price index in next year’s budget would have to be approved by a countywide vote. McGovern said his request for additional patrol officers was in anticipation of the South Lawrence Trafficway opening this fall and the traffic that would add to Kansas Highway 10. The sheriff’s office is assuming a greater role in working accidents and enforcement on highways as the Kansas Highway Patrol cuts back its presence with state funding issues, he said. One new full-time position recommended for 2017 that grew solely from local needs is a

$70,000 fairgrounds coordinator position. Assistant County Administrator Sarah Plinsky said the employee would supervise janitorial services of fairgrounds’ facilities and work with those renting facilities “to ensure they had a good experience.” The county would look for someone with a background in hospitality or facilities management, she said. The county was reviewing rental rates as new facilities open with the ongoing fairgrounds renovations and to help provide revenue to offset additional expenses, Plinsky said. One project made its appearance for the first time on the county’s road and bridge five-year capital improvement plan in part as an attempt to influence Topeka. Last month, Douglas County Public Works Director Keith Browning told commissioners that a plan to extend Wakarusa Drive from K-10 south to Route 458 would signal to the Kansas Department of Transportation that the county was serious about the need for a new K-10/ Wakarusa Drive separated-grade interchange. That interchange could be built before the K-10 west leg was expanded to four lanes, he said. Browning has slotted the $8.9 million Waka-

rusa Drive extension for 2021 on the capital improvement list. The entry shows the county paying $4.9 million for the project and the city of Lawrence providing $4 million. In response to a question from Commissioner Nancy Thellman, Browning said he hadn’t discussed that breakdown with the city, but there was general agreement on the need for the project and the need to share costs. The extension would provide Lawrence the benefit of greater access to the city’s Youth Sports Complex, Eagle Bend Golf Course, the adult softball complex, dog park and other recreation facilities either on or planned for the 1,515 acres the city leases east of Clinton Dam, Browning said. The big road project slated for next year is the $3.4 million reconstruction of Route 458 from East 800 Road to the vicinity of its intersection with North 1150 Road, Browning said. Commissioners took a big-ticket facilities project that stemmed from new state legislation off the capital improvement list, but agreed they needed to start planning for a related improvement. Removed from the list was a $1.25 million plan

to provide security improvements to the Douglas County Courthouse, which was considered with passage of a measure allowing concealed carry in public buildings. Commissioners agreed the cost was too great and the proposed modifications too damaging to the building’s historic character. Commissioners did agree the county would have to start planning with the city of Lawrence to provide upgraded security at the Community Health Building, which is shared by Bert Nash, the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department and the Douglas County Visiting Nurses Association. Douglas County Commission Chairman Jim Flory said he was disappointed the county needed to consider such measures. “I don’t like it that the Douglas County Courthouse has less security than a Dodge City open saloon of 100 years ago, but that’s the Kansas we live in,” he said. Commissioners will start making decisions on the 2017 budget at an 8:15 a.m. meeting Tuesday at the Douglas County Courthouse.

use permit to operate the quarry, as well as with supplemental conditions added in 2014 after mining resumed at the longidle site in 2012. There was a delay in forwarding the latest review to commissioners after neighbors identified a number of areas not in compliance with the added conditions, which required, among other things, the

relocation of the quarry’s entry and the installation of fencing and berms. The report commissioners received showed that those concerns had been addressed and that the quarry was in compliance with the original permit and supplemental conditions. Commissioners were not required to approve the report. In addressing the com-

mission, quarry neighbor Stephen Freidell said the original conditional use permit was nearly 40 years old, which was a much longer duration than the length of use permits now approved for quarry operations. He suggested the county and Hamm agree to a date for ending mining at the quarry, suggesting 50 years from the original

1977 as a shutdown date. That would benefit the county as it would allow the development of the quarry and surrounding property, and would be a plus to Hamm because it could resell the property after its required reclamation, Freidell said.

biggest day of the tour with criterium races at 9 a.m. The course starts and ends at the intersection of Ninth and Massachusetts streets, with some of the top names in competitive cycling whirring past spectators on a track looping the blocks between Seventh and 10th streets. Little ones are invited to get in on the action, too — aside from the return of the kids’ zone from 9 a.m. to noon Sunday on Eighth Street between Vermont and Massachusetts streets, young cyclists will have the chance to compete in a free kids’ race that day at 11 a.m. Mandatory registration will take place between 9:30 and 10:45 a.m. on Ninth Street between Vermont and Massachusetts streets, and helmets are required. Prizes include a Tour of Lawrence medal for

the first 300 participants, coupons for downtown businesses such as TCBY and Ingredient, and the opportunity to win one of three $300 gift certificates to Sunflower Outdoor & Bike Shop. Sunday also marks the return of Ad Astra Running Mass Street Mile footrace from 7 to 8 a.m. The event (registration is capped at 200 participants) includes categories for adults and kids. Event organizers will be on hand throughout the races with water and pop-up tents to provide protection from the sun, Sanner says, though he’s hoping the projected forecast of slightly cooler temps (mid-80s for the weekend, as of press time) holds up. And even if you’re not necessarily a cycling fan, you’re likely to encounter — and safely negotiate with, ideally —

cyclists on the street this weekend, Sanner says. Bottom line: respect one another and the rules of the road. “I would encourage motorists to have an even greater awareness of what’s happening around them, and maybe take a second look before they turn or cross an intersection,” Sanner

says. “These riders who are coming in have spent a lot of hours and have ridden a lot of miles on the highways and on the streets, so they’re very attuned and aware of their surroundings.”

eing president of the Douglas County Fair Board has one big perk, Matthew Fishburn said. “Every morning, we have the president’s pie contest,” he said. “Residents from all over the county bring in pies for the contest, and then we have different organizations decide the best ones. I get to eat them to make the final decision. That’s what I enjoy the most, eating all those pies.” Fishburn is serving his last year as president of the fair board, a position he has held for four years. His final year will be a transitionary one for the fair as work continues with the $7.95 million renovation of the fairgrounds. In late June, crews were installing new parking lots to the north and south of the Douglas County Extension Office and at the new Meeting Hall. “Everything is on schedule or ahead of schedule,” he said. The fair will be “a little different” with its mix of new facilities, ongoing construction of the open air pavilion that will be ready for the 2017 fair and the final year of such structures as the livestock show barns and the Derby Arena, which will be razed at the conclusion of the fair to make way for more construction, Fishburn said.

LEAVENWORTH COUNTY

90 YEARS AND STILL GOING STRONG

Shawn F. Linenberger/Journal-World File Photo

A FERRIS WHEEL TOWERS OVER THE LEAVENWORTH COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS during 2014’s fair in Tonganoxie. The fair’s first year was 1926.

Leavenworth County Fair looks to future as it marks milestone anniversary By Shawn F. Linenberger Twitter: @LJWorld

t’s been 90 years since the first installment of the Leavenworth County Fair. The first year, 1926, was a celebration of a bumper crop of corn in downtown Tonganoxie,

and the next year it was corn and apples. The event officially was known as the Leavenworth County Fair in 1928 and in 1938 moved from downtown to its current site along Kansas Highway 16 at the Leavenworth County Fairgrounds. For fair board president

Mike Johnson, the event has been a part of his life for more than 50 years. “I started 4-H in 1964, so a day or two,” Johnson said with a laugh. His family has been a part of Glenwood 4-H Club for generations. Johnson recalled how the fair has changed through

“I want my car to go to Tallman’s”

the years, noting it’s become a more urbanized event. There still are a number of livestock entries every year, but with them have come rocketry, photography and others. “Farm implement dealers brought tractors up with plows behind them,” Johnson

said about fairs in the 1960s and 1970s. “Now, you don’t really have any of that at the fair.” Since then, open class exhibits such as cooking and sewing have become bigger. This year’s fair runs July Please see FAIR, page 8A

26 through 30 at the fairgrounds in Tonganoxie. Festivities begin with an opening ceremony at noon July 26, with Tonganoxie VFW Post 9271 presenting colors and the Tonganoxie High School Band performing. The first major event of fair week actually is in downtown Tonganoxie with the annual fair parade. This year’s theme is Decades of Horsepower. Other highlights of the fair in the evenings are the Draft Horse Pull at 8 p.m. July 26 at the grandstand, singer David Patton performing at 7 and 9 p.m. July 27 under the Big Top, the horse show at 6 p.m. Thursday in the horse arena and the garden tractor pull at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the grandstand. A petting zoo, pony rides, games, concessions and carnival rides — including unlimited rides available for $22 each night — are nightly attractions. During every day of the five-day event, 4-H/FFA and open class exhibits and commercial exhibits will be available to the public. Johnson said the Tuff Stuff competition was a new attraction for this year’s fair. Trucks will make their way through the grandstand arena course, but allterrain vehicles and other four-wheel variations will race through the course. A monster truck will make an appearance at the competition also. Parking is $4 and a free shuttle service will run from 6 to 8:30 p.m. each day. The fair has had its share of changes since 1926, but it has grown to be a big annual attraction in Tonganoxie. Like other aspects of the event, food offerings have

Johnson recalled that years ago a group took milk from the dairy cows shown at the fair and eggs from the chickens to help make ice cream that was sold as a fundraiser during the fair. The ice cream at this year’s fair won’t be quite the farm-to-table version of years past, but several food options are available at the fairgrounds’ food court and nearby food buildings.

Friend needs to know about cheating — now Dear Annie: My friend has been dating the same guy for about a year, and I have always gotten along with him just fine. That’s why I’m struggling now. Another friend of mine, from a completely different circle of friends, was telling me about the guy she recently hooked up with. Well, lo and behold, he’s already taken ... by my other friend. I’m really struggling with this information and feeling conflicted. First of all, I can’t believe that this guy had me fooled while he’s been fooling around with two of my friends. But I just don’t know whom to confront first and how to get this pig out of my friends’ lives! — Fierce Friend

ESPN recalls troubled ’80s athletes Get ready to walk like an Egyptian! The mid-1980s are back. At least for tonight. The latest installment of “30 for 30” (8 p.m., ESPN) captures the promise and excess of the era with “Doc & Darryl.” Young outfielder Darryl Strawberry and teenage pitching phenomenon Dwight “Doc” Gooden brought hope to the New York Mets, carrying them from perennial doormats to significant seasons in 1984 and 1985, a World Championship in 1986, and a return to the National League Championship Series in 1988. They had all the makings of Hall of Fame players and should have been part of a long-lasting dynasty. But both men succumbed to the addictions that were part of the fabric of the decade known for junk bonds and casual cocaine use. Filmmakers Judd Apatow (“Trainwreck”) and Michael Bonfiglio (“You Don’t Know Bo”) reunite the older and presumably wiser tandem at a diner in Queens, not far from the site of the old Shea Stadium. Mets fan Jon Stewart appears in this melancholy effort, wondering what might have been had Doc and Darryl avoided self-destruction. O On the same theme, “Greatest Hits” (8 p.m., ABC, TV-PG) celebrates the music of the years 1985 to 1990. Kenny Loggins returns us to the “Danger Zone.” Foreigner and Nate Ruess collaborate on “I Want to Know What Love Is.” Listen for numbers by Bret Michaels and duets by Chicago and Aloe Blacc. And Wilson Phillips performs “Hold On.” Wilson Phillips may be a relic of the past, but Carnie Wilson has never really gone away. She hosted the eponymous chat fest “Carnie!” back in 1995 and has been seen on a range of shortlived series ever since, from hosting a revamp of “The Newlywed Game” to “Carnie Wilson: Unstapled,” both on GSN. She is scheduled to appear on the latest variation of “The Celebrity Apprentice” when that franchise returns. O Fans who insist on going back to the time of “Back to the Future” can revisit the original 1984 incarnation of “Ghostbusters” (5 p.m., AMC) and it’s not-so-welcome sequel “Ghostbusters II” (7:30 p.m., AMC) from 1989. Tonight’s other highlights Freeform offers views four chances to catch up with “Guilt” (6 p.m. to 10 p.m., Freeform). O Vernon Davis guest-judges on “Battlebots” (7 p.m., ABC, TV-PG).

to cry on, and tell her, as gently as possible, that he cheated. It’s not going to be fun. But in the end, your friend will move on. Dear Annie: All of a sudden, I found myself being the only single one in my group of close girlfriends. I’m totally fine with being single right now; we are all second-year law school students and have a lot going on. I’ve just been focusing on school and myself since getting out of a four-year relationship last year. My friends are at different stages in their relationships. Two are in long-term relationships.

Budget process The good news is that the city’s budget discussions are drawing more than the normal amount of public attention and participation this year.

he Lawrence city budget process already is spurring some heated exchanges among city commissioners and local residents. Balancing the budget, while addressing some new city priorities and avoiding a tax-levy increase, isn’t an easy task, but this is just the beginning of the process. Before the budget is completed, there will be some changes and some compromises. It’s a process that works best if everyone works together rather than becoming polarized. City Manager Tom Markus’ budget proposal included some staff and funding cuts that have drawn sharp criticism. But his overall goal of providing a realistic budget that preserves the city’s reserve funds is hard to argue with. Maybe the reserves don’t need to be as large as what is called for in his budget proposal, but it isn’t sound financing for the city to consistently dip into those reserves to cover expenses. The proposed budget calls for no increase in the mill levy. That’s something many taxpayers would applaud, but maybe taxpayers would rather see a moderate tax increase than to eliminate all of the spending Markus has suggested. It’s arguable that a moderate increase this year would be a good idea in light of the fact that state law will make property tax increases more difficult in future years. Employee wages and benefits are a big portion of the city budget, so Markus’ strategy to trim the budget included personnel cuts that have drawn considerable attention. His plan calls for the elimination of one part-time and eight full-time staff positions, including the relatively new positions of city auditor and arts and culture director. His recommendations are a subtle reminder that creating new staff positions is a lot easier than eliminating them. Markus defended his recommendations by noting that most of the eliminated positions weren’t standard for other cities. The response from some residents was basically that Lawrence isn’t a standard city. There even was the smug assertion from Commissioner Matthew Herbert that if the city reduced funding to the arts, “congratulations, we just became Topeka, Kansas.” That kind of rhetoric not only is needlessly condescending to Topeka but also does little to contribute to constructive discussion of the city budget. City commissioners have said they are concerned about affordable housing, bicycle and pedestrian transportation and the need for more mental health services in the community, so the proposed budget dedicated funding to those areas. If city commissioners would rather spend that money on maintenance at the Lawrence Arts Center, higher salaries for Lawrence Public Library employees or maintaining city staff positions, they have the power to do that. If they have to raise taxes to accomplish everything they want to do, they have the power to do that, too. The goal of all city officials should be to come up with an honest budget that includes realistic spending and revenue figures and doesn’t depend on dipping into reserve funds. Difficult choices will be involved, but the choices will be easier if local officials and residents maintain a thoughtful and constructive conversation and don’t lapse into a polarized, nasty debate.

Calif. tenure laws harm students Los Angeles — The mills of justice grind slowly, but life plunges on, leaving lives blighted when justice, by being delayed, is irremediably denied. Fortunately, California’s Supreme Court might soon decide to hear — four years after litigation began — the 21st century’s most portentous civil rights case, which concerns an ongoing denial of equal protection of the law. Every year, measurable injuries are inflicted on tens of thousands of already at-risk children by this state’s teacher tenure system, which is so politically entrenched that only the courts can protect the discrete and insular minority it victimizes. In 2012, nine Los Angeles students recognizing the futility of expecting the Legislature to rectify a wrong it has perpetrated asked California’s judiciary to continue its record of vindicating the rights of vulnerable minorities by requiring the state’s education system to conform to the state’s Constitution. After 10 weeks of testimony, the trial court found the tenure system incompatible with the California Supreme Court’s decision, now almost half a century old, that the state Constitution, which declares education a “fundamental” state concern, guarantees “equality of treatment” to all K-12 pupils. It “shocks the conscience,” the trial court said, that there is “no dispute” that “a significant number of grossly ineffective teachers” — perhaps more than 8,000, each with 28 students — are doing quantifiable damage to children’s life prospects. Technically, California

“

Every year, measurable injuries are inflicted on tens of thousands of already at-risk children by this state’s teacher tenure system, which is so politically entrenched that only the courts can protect the discrete and insular minority it victimizes.” teachers are granted lifetime tenure after just two years. Actually, they must be notified of tenured status after just 16 months. (Thirty-two states grant tenure after three years, nine states after four or five. Four states never grant tenure.) When incompetent or negligent teachers gain tenure, dismissal procedures are so complex and costly that the process can take up to 10 years and cost up to $450,000. The trial court called the power to dismiss “illusory.” Each year approximately two teachers are dismissed for unsatisfactory performance — 0.0007 percent of California’s 277,000 teachers. Instead, school districts are forced to adopt what is called the “dance of the lem-

ons,” whereby grossly ineffective teachers are shuffled from school to school. Another facet of the tenure system — the teachers last hired are the first fired when layoffs are required — reinforces the powerful tendency for incompetent teachers, who must teach somewhere, to accumulate in schools with the most teacher vacancies. These are disproportionately schools attended by low-income minority children. Abundant research demonstrates that teacher quality is the most important school variable determining academic performance. This is why there is more variation in student achievement within than between schools. This variation is especially dramatic among students from educationally disadvantaged families. A single grossly ineffective teacher can deprive students of a full year of learning, with consequences that include lower graduation and college attendance rates, and lifetime earnings more than $250,000 lower than for pupils without a single incompetent teacher. Because teachers’ unions insist that financial appropriations are the allimportant determinants of schools’ successes, they are perversely reluctant to acknowledge the importance of quality teachers. The appeals court responded with a judicial shrug to the trial court’s factual findings. It said California’s tenure system does not constitute a denial of equal protection because the identifiable class of people being injured have no “shared trait.” Oh? What

about their shared injury? The injured pupils share a susceptibility to injury because of their shared trait of being economically disadvantaged. This trait concentrated them in schools that themselves have a shared trait — disproportionately high numbers of bad teachers. The appeals court breezily said the injured were merely an “unlucky subset” of pupils, a “random assortment” produced not by the tenure laws but by the administration of them. This, however, is a distinction without a difference: The tenure laws’ purpose is to dictate outcomes by depriving administrators of discretion. Systemic results cannot be dismissed as “random.” Even if the tenure laws were neither written with a discriminatory motive nor administered with a discriminatory intent, the system is now known to produce — not invariably but with a high probability — predictable patterns of disparities. Liberal and conservative legal luminaries, from Harvard’s Laurence Tribe to Stanford’s Michael McConnell, have urged California’s Supreme Court to do what the appeals court neglected to do — apply heightened scrutiny to the tenure laws that prioritize teachers’ job security over pupils’ constitutional right regarding education. California’s Supreme Court will have national resonance if it affirms that public schools are established to enable children to flourish, not to make even dreadful teachers secure. — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Jail concerns To the editor: I attended the County Commission meeting where $518,000 was approved for further jail expansion architectural designs, and I join Rick Frydman in sharing my concerns. I have yet to find a figure projecting the increased operational costs after a $30 million expansion. The projected $30 million appears to only cover the brick and mortar of expanding the jail. At a time when Douglas County is being sued for $1.35 million for the tragic death of a female inmate, it is questionable that our community would be receptive to such a request for funds. There is clearly a need to provide appropriate services to inmates suffering from serious mental issues. But a vote in favor of a mental health crisis center should be separate from a vote for jail expansion, rather than including both on the same ballot as the County Commission has decided. Furthermore, the public deserves a response to the disproportionate incarceration of people of color in the county jail. The Criminal Justice Coordinating Council’s recently released summary findings of the jail population fluctuations waited until the conclusion to mention this issue, only to

say that more study needs to be conducted. As a retired school psychologist, I understand the importance of trained personnel who demonstrate proficiency in handling sensitive populations. Providing indigent citizens with proper staff support and resources so that attendance at court hearings can be better guaranteed would help reduce the significant number of bookings for “failure to appear.” Jeff Lough, Lawrence

Economic legs To the editor: No legs? Hogwash! 1. Aviation. Beginning in the 1920s with Laird, Stearman, Cessna and Beech, the aircraft industry has been a part of Kansas. In the ’70s, Cessna was making 16,000 small aircraft per year. Then liability costs took over. Cessna stopped small aircraft production. Beech had a similar pattern. Likewise, Boeing began a southward movement. Even so, manufacturing (largely aircraft and related products) is still a leading leg of the Kansas economy. 2. Agriculture. Add up the annual total of wheat, corn, cotton, soybeans, alfalfa, cattle, hogs, poultry, eggs, milk and other products and it must be a strong leg. Admittedly, many of the

products are about half the price of a few years ago. 3. Oil and gas. True, prices have dropped dramatically and this has made a number of wells unprofitable. It has also stopped the development of new fields. It is still an important income area. 4. Government. In recent years, the federal and state governments have become the fourth leg of the Kansas economic stool. The farm bill, of which about 80 percent goes for food stamps has been a big gain. Add the many programs of medical aid, retirement, welfare, etc., and this relatively new leg is a strong one. Without income from these four legs, where would the real estate, rental, leasing, wholesale and retail trade be? Have you ever noticed the effect on these dependent services when one of the four legs is in trouble? Vincent Muirhead, Lawrence

Trump faces resistance.

Theresa May became the British prime minister Wednesday after David Cameron formally stepped down. May is the second woman to hold that post. Margaret Thatcher was the first more than a quartercentury ago. May immediately faces some formidable tasks in leading the United Kingdom after it voted to leave the European Union in a referendum June 23. Here are five challenges May must tackle:

“It’s really hard to put a dollar amount on what the effect of the nominee is. People don’t give us a detailed explanation of why I’m giving or why I am not.”

LONDON

ANNOUNCING A CABINET

For the latest national sports coverage, go to sports.usatoday.com

WASHINGTON Days before the Republican Party’s national convention opens in Cleveland, organizers remain $6 million short of their $64 million fundraising goal for the four-day political extravaganza. The Cleveland host committee has collected $51 million in cash and $7 million through inkind donations as it grapples with boycott calls by activist groups, the loss of taxpayer funding for the event and deep skepticism about Donald Trump, the GOP’s nominee-inwaiting, from some of the party’s leading figures.

May quickly started assembling her new government, making several appointments, including the announcement that Boris Johnson, the flamboyant former London mayor, will be foreign secretary — one of the most high-profile positions in the British government. Johnson, who led the push for Britain to leave the EU in the contentious referendum, was the leading choice to replace Cameron, but he quickly dropped out of the running. Johnson replaces Philip Hammond, who was named treasury minister, called chancellor of the exchequer. May filled her former job of home secretary with Amber Rudd, Britain’s former energy secretary. Rudd’s appointment means two of the top four jobs in the

May, who supported the campaign to remain in the EU, said, “Brexit is Brexit,” and the United Kingdom will leave the bloc with no attempt to “remain through the back door.” Top EU

leaders want Britain to leave as soon as possible. May must trigger the negotiation process by invoking Article 50 of the EU treaty, thereby launching the two-year exit process. “She’s said that we will trigger Article 50 around the end of this year,” Chris Grayling, who managed May’s leadership campaign, told the BBC. May named veteran Conservative lawmaker and Euro-skeptic David Davis on Monday to lead Britain’s exit talks with the EU, a newly created post. Davis, who has clashed with May over privacy and free speech issues, has long advocated leaving the EU and will be in charge of implementing the exit.

David Gilbert, Cleveland Host 2016 Committee

The opposition Labour Party

The controversy over Trump’s unorthodox candidacy has had “some effect” on fundraising, said David Gilbert, president and CEO of the Cleveland 2016 Host Committee, the non-profit group responsible for underwriting the convention, which opens Monday. But, he said, “it’s really hard to put a dollar amount on what the effect of the nominee is. People don’t give us a detailed explanation of why I’m giving or why I am not.” Several prominent firms, ranging from Coca-Cola to Hewlett Packard and Apple, have either decided not to sponsor the convention or to reduce their traditional convention giving amid calls by activists to boycott the event over Trump’s tough

ANOTHER ELECTION?

Scientists discover dual-digit dinosaur — and a curse Fossil search was plagued by mishaps Traci Watson

Special for USA TODAY

Maybe this dinosaur really, really didn’t want to be found. Scientists digging for fossils in rural Argentina found themselves beset by misfortune, ranging from bureaucratic interference to a serious truck accident. The researchers gave an appropriate name to the strange new species they finally discovered: gualicho, the local word for a curse.

If bad luck befalls anyone in the region where the fossil was uncovered, “people say that somebody made a gualicho on you,” says paleontologist Sebastián Apesteguía of the Azara Foundation in Buenos Aires, coauthor of a study in this week’s PLOS ONE about the new animal. Of all the dinosaurs he’s worked on recently, “this was the most difficult by far.” Gualicho was found on the second-to-last day of the scientists’ research at the site. Study co-author Peter Makovicky recalls he jokingly ordered one of his workers “to go find something.” Minutes later, “she did.”

JORGE GONZÁLEZ AND PABLO LARA

An artist depicts gualicho, the curse-bearing dinosaur. What she found was a meateating dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous that stood upright on

two slender legs, making it “reasonably speedy,” says Makovicky of The Field Museum in Chicago.

It weighed as much as a big Clydesdale and would’ve towered over a 6-foot-tall human. Gualicho could’ve used a little upper-body work. Its short arms — roughly as long as a child’s — were shriveled and apparently not very useful. The animal probably relied on powerful jaws to grab and grip its quarry. Its two-fingered “hands” look like those of the formidable T. rex. Tyrannosaurs had stumpy arms, as did a separate clan of upright carnivorous dinosaurs. Gualicho is on a different branch of the dinosaur family tree, meaning it must have evolved puny arms independently.

May warns ‘big business’ it better behave v CONTINUED FROM 1B

and the Liberal Democrats party said May should call a snap general election — the last parliamentary vote took place in 2015, and the next is due in 2020. May has said there will be no general election before 2020 and ruled out a second referendum on the EU membership issue. A petition calling for a second referendum will be debated in Parliament in September after attracting more than 4 million signatures, but that will not result in a decision. SAFEGUARDING ECONOMY

The vote to leave the EU roiled global stock markets and sent the pound to a 31-year low in the immediate aftermath. May promised to “get tough on irresponsible be-

havior in big business.” In a speech shortly before becoming the Conservative Party leader, she said, “There are business leaders whose response has not been to play for Britain’s departure from the EU or to think of the opportunities withdrawal presents but to complain about the result and criticize the electorate.” Finance Minister George Osborne attempted to calm markets and visited Wall Street banks Monday, telling MSNBC’s Morning Joe, “We’re out there selling Britain to the world.” He will travel to China and Singapore on that mission in the coming weeks.

New Conservative Party leader Theresa May leaves No. 10 Downing St. in London on Tuesday after attending Prime Minister David Cameron’s final Cabinet meeting.

voted to leave, and Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to remain in the EU. The Conservative Party was also sharply divided. Some members campaigned to leave the bloc, and others fought to remain. May supported remaining with the EU, but she kept a low profile during the campaigning. She has presented herself as a unifying figure, with a vision “of a country that works not for a privileged few but for every one of us.” Unifying the country may prove difficult. Scottish leader Nicola Sturgeon said Wednesday that “Brexit means Brexit” does not apply to Scotland. “I, too, have a mandate, and that mandate is to respect the wishes of the people in Scotland and now to find a way to keep Scotland in the European Union,” she said.

In an interview with USA TODAY, Gilbert downplayed the fundraising gap, noting that the Cleveland host committee has exceeded what previous conventions collected. He said the last 10% or so of these budgets often is raised in the final weeks. “While it would have been great to say a week ago, a month ago, two months ago, that we had every penny raised, past history shows we are in pretty good shape,” Gilbert said. Gilbert said the group has carefully managed its expenses and will “make sure every obligation is fulfilled,” even as it aggressively seeks more last-minute funding from companies and individuals. He would not identify those potential donors. The 2012 Republican and Democratic conventions each received $18 million in public funds four years ago and collected about $57 million and $37 million, respectively, from other sources, federal records show. The Democrats’ total included $13 million in loans. In the face of the Democratic convention’s fundraising struggles that year, utility giant Duke Energy decided to forgive a $10 million line of credit it provided to event organizers. How will Cleveland make up any gaps? “We don’t have a line of credit, per se,” Gilbert said. “But we have set up, early on, a way to make sure that, no matter what, nobody is going to be left with any unpaid bills.” He said he was “not prepared to talk about” the host committee’s backup plan. The Democratic National Convention, scheduled for July 25-28 in Philadelphia, has about $1.3 million left to raise, boosted by a $10 million infusion this week of state funds, former Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell said Wednesday. Rendell is chairman of the Democratic host committee.

GOP WILL SEE CLEVELAND IN FLUX

Rust Belt city in transitional state after years of decay Paul Singer @singernews USA TODAY

Delegates to the Republican National Convention may be shocked by what they find in the old Rust Belt city — a vibrant and growing downtown and several nearby neighborhoods stocked with hip dining options and trendy night spots. It is not the vision of Cleveland most people have in their heads, but it is also not a complete picture of the city, which still has some of the highest concentrations of poverty in the nation and is facing crushing budget shortfalls. The city is riding a wave of good feeling, with the Cleveland Cavailers capturing the first professional sports title for the city in half a century and the Cleveland Indians starting the second half of the baseball season in first place. But while boosting the city’s psyche, those victories have not changed some underlying economic challenges. Cleveland “is on parallel, almost paradoxical tracks,” said Cleveland State University professor Richey Piiparinen. “We are getting worse, and we are getting better.” On the one hand, Cleveland has seen vibrant growth in the downtown area and several close neighborhoods. Former Cleveland mayor Jane Campbell said that when she was elected in 2001, she decided “to invest in building a downtown that was a place to live as well as a place to work.” At the time, there were about 7,000 people living downtown, and now around 15,000 people live there. The residential occupancy rate is over 90%.

Downtown has also had an infusion of cash in preparation for the convention, including a $50 million renovation of Public Square, the historic plaza at the heart of the city. And the city has also established a thriving health care corridor, anchored by Case Western Reserve University and the world-class medical care of the Cleveland Clinic. Convention-goers will also be able to quench their thirst at the newly renovated Flats, a riverfront nightlife district that was for years the home to seedy

everywhere,” said Jim Russell, Piiparinen’s colleague at CSU’s Center for Population Dynamics. The model for Cleveland is nearby Pittsburgh, another Rust Belt city that has seen a dramatic economic rebirth based mostly on health care and university research. But Cleveland “has got a long way to go even to catch up to Pittsburgh,” Russell said. Meanwhile, the city is facing a fiscal crisis. Mayor Frank Jackson has proposed raising the city’s income tax rate for the first time since 1981, from 2% to

beer-soaked bars and strip clubs. But other neighborhoods have seen none of that investment. “We have now said, ‘If it is attached to the (Republican National Convention), we are going to get it done,’ ” said Zach Reed, a city council member from a largely black district on the Southeast side of the city. But “you go back to our neighborhood, we might as well be on the damn moon,” Reed said. A March report from the Brookings Institution demonstrated the city’s troubles outside the booming downtown. The report concluded that 28% of Cleveland area residents live in areas of “concentrated poverty,” meaning nearly half of their neighbors live below the poverty line — the ninth-highest total in the nation. “What you are seeing is this archipelago of economic activity, that doesn’t necessarily spread

2.5%. The city faces a budget shortfall in part because of a decision by Gov. John Kasich to cut a statewide fund that paid for local government services. The city also reached a deal with the Justice Department for a dramatic overhaul in the police department’s use-of-force procedures that the city has said will cost $45 million to implement over five years. That deal came after 12-year old Tamir Rice was shot and killed by police in November 2014. Rice’s family received a $6 million settlement from the city. Reed said the city needs “an infusion of cash,” and he hopes for a public-private partnership to pay for projects in neighborhood that have so far been passed over. “Tax breaks and trickle down aren’t going to help those people in our neighborhoods,” Reed said. “They need real investment.”

A YEAR AFTER NUCLEAR DEAL, TAKING STOCK OF A NEW IRAN Oren Dorell l @orendorell l USA TODAY

ne year ago Thursday, Iran and world powers reached a historic nuclear accord. Since then, a potential showdown was averted and Iran’s economy is in recovery, but its hard-liners continue to expand their anti-American agenda. Iran appears to have scaled back its nuclear program and to be abiding by most terms aimed at curbing its nuclear ambitions. Iran’s economy is improving with the lifting of international sanctions and the release of billions in frozen assets. But so far, the deal has not produced the economic boom Iran was hoping for, and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards are growing stronger and more confrontational. Here are five things that changed:

NUCLEAR THREAT DIMINISHED

Under the deal, Iran reduced its stockpile of nuclear fuel and dismantled thousands of machines. Iran destroyed the reactor core in its heavy water reactor, eliminating another path to a bomb. And it accepted international monitoring to ensure compliance. President Obama pledged that the deal would prevent Iran from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon. Wendy Sherman, the State Department’s chief negotiator on the agreement, said the deal made the world safer. Without it, “we might be faced with Iran racing toward a nuclear weapon and a delivery system for that weapon,” Sherman told USA TODAY. “Instead, Iran committed to taking steps to make sure its nuclear program is peaceful.” State Department officials knew that Iran’s backing for terrorists, human rights abuses and anti-American policies would continue, but without limiting Iran’s nuclear capabilities “it would be much worse,” she said. Some of Iran’s illicit activities

involving nuclear weapons and technology continue. The U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon said missile tests Iran conducted in March were “not consistent” with the spirit of the nuclear agreement, Reuters reported last week. In Germany, Iran continued “illegal proliferation-sensitive procurement activities” in the field of nuclear and missile technology, according to Germany’s domestic intelligence service. State Department spokesman John Kirby said last week the U.S. has “no indication” those efforts succeeded.

OIL PRODUCTION UP, KEEPING WORLD PRICES DOWN

Iranian oil exports jumped by more than half since January. The increased supply helped produce a global oil glut and lower prices. Dozens of other deals to develop Iran’s energy and other industrial sectors stalled because of remaining U.S. sanctions and internal Iranian politics, said Sara Vakhshouri, an analyst at SVB

CEPSA HANDOUT VIA EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

The tanker Monte Toledo leaves after unloading 1 million barrels of Iranian crude oil in Algeciras, Spain, in March. It was the first tanker in Europe carrying Iranian oil since sanctions ended.

Several Republican members of Congress seek to block the Boeing deal, arguing that Iran has a history of using commercial jets to transport missiles and weapons for terrorists.

REVOLUTIONARY GUARDS GROW STRONGER

VIA AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, speaking to university students in Tehran, continues to lead anti-American rhetoric. Energy International. Banks and businesses that use the U.S. financial system are afraid of violating sanctions on Iran for its support of terror groups and human rights violations. And Iran has yet to produce a contract model for about 40 proposed projects that require foreign investment, Vakhshouri said.

ECONOMIC BOOST, BUT DEALS STALL

Iran’s economy grew by 0.7% since the deal was signed and is forecast to grow 3.7% in the next year. Inflation is 8%, down from 80% in 2013, said Mark Dubo-

witz, executive director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies in Washington, D.C. The benefits mean Iranians were spared an economic collapse, Dubowitz said. Many Iranians remain frustrated with the pace of recovery, which has been stunted by confusion in world financial institutions about which U.S. sanctions remain and which have been lifted, said Michael O’Hanlon, an analyst at The Brookings Institution. Iran reached deals with aircraft manufacturers Airbus and Boeing for more than 170 aircraft for its national airlines.

Areas of the economy that are growing the most are controlled by Iran’s hard-line Revolutionary Guards, Dubowitz said. The Guards ran most of the smuggling operations required to keep Iran’s economy going. They now control Iran’s petrochemical, automobile, construction, heavy industry, shipping, aircraft and telecommunications sectors.

USA AND IRAN STILL AT ODDS BUT FIGHTING ON SAME SIDE

Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, continues to lead followers in chants of “Death to America.” The State Department has listed Iran as the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. Iran detained two U.S. Navy patrol boats and 10 U.S. sailors in January, when they entered Iranian waters days before sanctions lifted. The U.S. commander was later fired from his job. Despite ongoing official enmity, U.S. and Iranian military forces have been fighting the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

TRUMP PLANS TO ANNOUNCE RUNNING MATE ON FRIDAY

Donald Trump and his aides bore down on a running mate selection Wednesday while making final plans for the Republican convention that opens Monday. Trump, top aides and members of his family are evaluating potential vice presidential finalists, a group that includes Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions and former House speaker Newt Gingrich. An announcement is planned for Friday in New York. — David Jackson ACLU SUES BATON ROUGE POLICE OVER PROTESTS

The ACLU of Louisiana and local organizations filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday accusing the Baton Rouge Police Department of violating the First Amendment rights of demonstrators arrested last weekend. More than 200 people have been arrested in the past week at protests following the death of Alton Sterling, a black man who was shot to death July 5 by two white police officers in Baton Rouge. Part of the struggle between police and Sterling was captured on video that was spread via social media, setting off protests nationwide. The lawsuit claims police used excessive force, physically and

verbally abused protesters, and made wrongful arrests to disperse demonstrators. — Claire Taylor, The (Lafayette, La.) Daily Advertiser JUNO SPACECRAFT SENDS ITS FIRST IMAGE OF JUPITER

Well, that didn’t take long. The Juno spacecraft sent back the first image of Jupiter this week. The image shows atmospheric features on Jupiter, including the Great Red Spot, and three of the giant planet’s four largest moons — Io, Europa and Ganymede, from left to right in the image. The probe shot the photo Sunday, when the spacecraft was 2.7 million miles from Jupiter on the outbound leg of its initial orbit. — Doyle Rice AIRSTRIKE KILLS PLANNER OF MAJOR TERROR ATTACKS

A militant leader who orchestrated a series of deadly terrorist attacks in Pakistan, including a 2014 assault at a school that left more than 130 children dead, was killed by a U.S. airstrike in neighboring Afghanistan, the Pentagon said Wednesday. The airstrike Saturday killed Umar Khalifa and four other “enemy combatants” in Nangarhar province, which borders Pakistan. — Jim Michaels

The solarpowered plane Solar Impulse 2, piloted by Swiss pioneer André Borschberg, flies over the pyramids of Giza on Wednesday prior to landing in Cairo. The penultimate leg of the craft’s round-theworld-tripcovered a distance of 3,700 kilometers from Seville in Spain and took almost 49 hours.

Hillary Clinton said Donald Trump’s campaign represents “an ugly, dangerous” message that poses a threat to U.S. democracy, in a speech at the Old State House in Springfield, Ill., on Wednesday, billed as a major address on healing race relations. Clinton repeatedly cast Trump as contemptuous and ignorant of the U.S Constitution, hostile to women and minorities and so unstable that he might even use the powers of the presidency — including the IRS and the military — to pursue his own personal vendettas. “Given what we’ve seen and heard, does anyone think he’d be restrained?” said Clinton. “This man is the nominee of the party of Lincoln. We are watching it become the party of Trump,” said Clinton. “And that’s not just a huge loss of our democracy, it is a threat to it, because Donald Trump’s campaign adds up to an ugly, dangerous message to America.” The venue for the speech, the site of Abraham Lincoln’s famous “House Divided” speech on slavery in 1858, was chosen for its historic significance. It is also where President Obama launched his presidential campaign in 2007 and where he introduced Joe Biden as his vice presidential choice in 2008. The speech is an extension of an argument Clinton has delivered in previous speeches as she has pivoted to the general election, casting Trump as temperamentally unfit both to serve as commander in chief and to manage the nation’s largest economy. It is an attempt to draw contrasts with Trump in the aftermath of shootings in Minnesota, Louisiana and Dallas that have ignited racial tensions. The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee devoted the

ANDREW HARNIK, AP

first portion of her remarks to highlighting the need for racial healing, calling for criminal justice reforms and more support for the nation’s police force. She also called for a greater effort to revitalize economically depressed areas where people have been “stripped” of their security and dignity, citing “a sense of dislocation and even pessimism about whether America holds anything for them or cares about them at all.” Yet Clinton’s most pointed remarks were directed at Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. In one notable moment, she also seemed to refer to her own past comments that have been criticized by some African Americans, including when she called some black youth “super predators” during a debate over a crime bill. Clinton said she “cannot claim my words and actions haven’t fueled the partisanship” at times and “I recognize I have to do better too.” At its outset, her speech focused on the recent shootings, as Clinton declared America’s “long struggle with race” is “far from finished.” In addition to calling for criminal justice reform and more support for the nation’s law enforcement community, Clinton said the U.S. government must follow in Lincoln’s steps in using “the tools” of government to give everyone “a fair chance in the race of life.”

MONEYLINE FED SAYS ECONOMY GREW MODESTLY IN MAY AND JUNE The U.S. economy picked up modestly in late May and June as the recovering housing market underpinned growth while the beleaguered manufacturing sector improved, the Federal Reserve said in a report Wednesday. The Fed’s “beige book” showed activity expanding at a modest pace in most regions. Surprisingly, the summary said that employment continued to grow modestly despite the 287,000 June job gains reported by the Labor Department last week. And consumer spending was “generally positive but with some signs of softening.”

er, that a modest decline “does not necessarily signal that further contractions or an automotive recession is imminent.” Edmunds.com stands by its prediction that auto sales will hit 18.1 million in 2016. “We still forecast a record-breaking year,” spokesman Aaron Lewis says. “We’re going to see what summer has in store before we make any changes.” Same, too, for Kelley Blue Book, which has yet to see enough evidence of a change of heart by consumers. “There is certainly a much greater chance of missing the record this year following June’s sales, but right now the industry is still on pace to narrowly beat last year,” KBB analyst Tim Fleming says. He noted that in the two months this year that sales have dipped, they came bouncing back strong the following month. Potentially most troublesome for the auto industry, the bulk of the decline is expected to come from fewer sales of cars to individuals, not from sales to corporate, government or rental car fleets. Individual sales are considered the most profitable because they don’t involve bulk discounts. One thing that’s not worrying LMC or TrueCar: Neither believes demographic shifts will be a major factor going forward as Millennials become a bigger player in car sales. Nearly the same percentage of Millennials are buying cars now as in the past, Schuster and Lyman say. “We believe they will perform like past generations,” Lyman says.

The Federal Communications Commission is set to jump-start the 5G era. As part of their monthly meeting Thursday, the FCC commissioners were expected to vote to designate a huge block of spectrum for the use of next-generation wireless broadband, services up to 100 times faster than current wireless connections. These applications — called 5G, as they are meant to succeed current 4G wireless technology — promise not only faster but more robust capabilities than current services and could be used to supplant wired home broadband connections, too. Companies such as AT&T and Verizon within the U.S. — and providers in other countries — have begun 5G testing. But the FCC’s move would be the first global set-aside of high-band

FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler says Thursday’s vote could be the most important of 2016.

spectrum, specifically the 28 Gigahertz, 37 GHz and 39 GHz bands, for licensed uses. Such a move “puts this country on … a home-field advantage,” FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler told a House subcommittee hearing Tuesday. “I truly believe the decision we make Thursday could be most important decision this commission makes this year.” Additional spectrum in the 6471 GHz band would be set aside

for unlicensed uses. This spectrum previously could not support mobile devices, but ongoing technological advances will make the airwaves valuable. That’s because the bands have more than five times the space of lower bands and can deliver more data much more quickly than today’s services. These new 5G networks will require local, state and federal cooperation to create the dense network of cells needed to connect all manner of devices and advance the vision of the Internet of Things, said Richard Adler, a distinguished fellow at the Institute for the Future. “Advanced 5G networks will have a transformative effect on entire sectors of the economy, including healthcare, education, manufacturing, energy, agriculture, hospitality, transportation, among others,” Adler said in a statement Tuesday. 5G testing is at its infancy, with major trials expected next year and early deployment in 2018.

The bulls celebrated the Dow’s push to another new high Wednesday. But investors taking a closer look can see the index is still full of sour apples. There are 12 stocks in the Dow Jones industrial average, including Goldman Sachs, Apple and American Express, that have dragged down the widely watched market measure since it last hit its peak last year, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. Not only are these stocks being left out of the Dow’s run to new highs this year but they have collectively erased more than 1,200 Dow points from the Dow’s former peak set on May 19, 2015. The drag from these lagging stocks is a big hurdle for the rest of the Dow members to overcome. Fortunately for the bulls, the winning Dow stocks have been powerful enough to push the Dow up 50 points from its former high. The Dow rose nearly 24 points to 18,372 Wednesday to a new high for the second day in a row.

SOURCE S&P GLOBAL MARKET INTELLIGENCE; USA TODAY

The fact there are so many bigtime losers in the Dow signals just how cautious investors remain, even as the Dow retakes high ground, says David Sowerby, strategist at Loomis, Sayles. “Skepticism, while challenging, is a good thing for stock prices to find higher levels,” he says. “It’s better than the bliss at a market top.” Goldman Sachs continues to dog the Dow. The bank’s shares are off 23% from the Dow’s 2015 high to $157.92. Since the Dow gives a greater weight to stocks with the highest per-share prices, Goldman’s decline has wiped 327 points from the measure. Goldman’s woes are symbolic of the challenges other economically sensitive financial stocks are facing, says Devin Ryan, analyst at JMP Securities. Low interest rates around the world and tepid global economic growth are hurting the banks’ shares. American Express is another example of a struggling Dow stock. Shares are down 22% from the time of the Dow’s high last year. It’s hard to find a better example of a fallen apple in the Dow than Apple. The gadget maker’s shares are down nearly 26% to $96.87 from the 2015 high, which is a larger percentage drop than any other Dow component. Apple investors continue to lose their enthusiasm for the stock. The company’s adjusted earnings growth in the June quarter is expected to drop 25% to $1.39 a share. That would be the second consecutive quarter of adjusted quarterly profit declines. But SunTrust Chief Market Strategist Keith Lerner thinks the market still has enough power to keep going. Future returns tend to be strong when stocks take a year from a previous high to make a new high, he says.

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

There was a time when stock market strategists advised investors to seek out “GARP” stocks — or names that provided growth at a reasonable price. But in a world awash in negative interest rates and investment income at a premium, Savita Subramanian, equity and quantitative strategist at Bank of America Lynch, is advising clients to seek out “YARP” stocks — or equities that offer “yield at a reasonable price.” “Given lower-for-longer rates and (global) growth (concerns), and with a record proportion of global bond yields in negative territory, stocks with high dividend yields can continue to work in the second half,” Subramanian said in

No matter who wins, sectors will be shocked

Q: How will a new president affect stocks? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Political rhetoric is hitting a fever pitch. Investors are wondering not only who will win in November but which stocks will win or lose. Examining the key aspects of both the Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump campaigns, investors can try to see which topics will affect individual stocks and sectors. S&P Global Market Intelligence sees all 10 sectors experiencing shocks. Minimum-wage legislation and illegal immigration will be factors for consumer discretionary and consumer staples stocks, respectively, S&P Global says. The debate over federal support for renewable energy will affect the energy sector, and the future of Dodd-Frank regulation will hit financials. Debate over the Affordable Care Act will be a driver for health care stocks while defense spending is an issue for industrials. Technology companies continue to be subject to debate over foreign earnings and taxes while U.S.-Chinese trade negotiations are pivotal to materials stocks. Net neutrality continues to be a touch point for telecom stocks and coal-based energy generation has been an influence on utilities. Expect these issues and the affected sectors to start to react even more once the conventions kick off next week.

Valeant stock plunges after top investor Sequoia Fund sells stake Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

Shares of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International plunged after the mutual fund that had been the troubled drugmaker’s secondlargest investor sold its stake and a short-seller renewed a bearish bet on the company. Valeant shares closed down nearly 6.9% Wednesday at $21.94 following the Sequoia Fund’s disclosure in a letter to investors issued a day earlier. The drop also came as short-seller Andrew Left,

BLOOMBERG VIA GETTY IMAGES

whose Citron Research first alleged Valeant accounting issues last October, renewed his bet that the Canada-based pharmaceutical firm’s financial fortunes would continue to fall. “People have no confidence in the business model, and it shows in the stock price,” Left said in an interview with Real Money before

referencing apocalyptic fiction. “This thing looks like The Walking Dead.” The latest decline extended a drop that has seen Valeant shares lose nearly 92% of their value since early August, as the company denied Left’s allegations and coped with multiple investigations of its drug-pricing and distribution policies. Sequoia Fund said the 80% fall in Valeant’s shares through June 30 “badly penalized our results,” helping produce a negative return of 13.2% return for the first half of 2016, compared with a positive 3.8% return for the S&P 500 In-

dex. The Valeant-related drop prompted redemption requests from some of the fund’s investors. Valeant had represented the largest position in Sequoia’s portfolio at the start of the year. The fund’s investment had ranked second behind billionaire Bill Ackman, via his Pershing Square Capital Management hedge fund. Emphasizing disappointment over the results, Sequoia officially confirmed completion of a previously announced leadership change. Longtime CEO and comanager Robert Goldfarb retired at the end of March, the fund said. Goldfarb was succeeded by

Ruane Cunniff CEO David Poppe, who joined other members of Sequoia’s investment committee in decisions to sell the Valeant stake and other investments. Sequoia also sold its shares of pet health diagnostics company Idexx Laboratories, Ireland-based drugmaker Allergan and camping and hunting retailer Cabela’s. As part of the portfolio reshuffling, Sequoia established new investment stakes in used-car company CarMax, fast-casual food chain Chipotle Mexican Grill, discount brokerage Charles Schwab and Wells Fargo, the San Francisco-based global bank.

ain’t afraid of no haters

Bryan Alexander @BryAlexand USA TODAY

LOS ANGELES There are Internet doubters, even haters, who don’t think the new Ghostbusters can roll with an all-female cast — even with four of the funniest women in comedy battling the specters. To these vocal few, Melissa McCarthy has one word: Hummus. “This is all a lot like Leslie, prehummus,” says McCarthy, looking at fellow Ghostbusters Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon as they sit comically stacked sideby-side on a sofa in a Four Seasons Hotel suite. “Leslie had a violent fuss about hummus. She didn’t like us eating it. I told her to try it before you critique it, for the love of God.” “Melissa grabbed my face and shoved it in my mouth,” Jones says. “And I ate a whole tub.” To clarify, there was no hummus force-feeding on the set of the Paul Feig-directed reboot. But Jones sampled hummus and now obsesses about the glories of the chickpea delight, which serves as an apt and delicious Ghostbusters metaphor before the movie arrives in theaters Friday. Try it. You could just love it. “So stick this movie on a pita and munch away,” McKinnon adds, nailing the landing. “See what you think.” After months of online posturing over the parts originally brought to life by four funnymen in the 1984 classic — Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson — moviegoers will have the chance to decide for themselves about the new chapter. That’s clearly a relief to the cast of the remake. (Fourth team member Kristen Wiig, who was sick, missed the group talk.) “I have been waiting for this in the best way. It’s like, ‘Let’s get this out there,’ ” McCarthy says. “That’s the feeling you pray to have at the end of a movie: You cannot wait for people to see this.” “But save the critique until after you’ve seen it,” she adds. The cast insists that none of the Internet noise ever invaded their funny time on the set, which involved extensive ad-libbed scenes with Feig and the unfettered joy of strapping on the famed proton pack for the first time. (“When you put that gear on, it definitely puts a little swagger into your step,” McCarthy says.) But it turns out the props were truly heavy. “You know those montages in

TIM RUE FOR USA TODAY

The women of Ghostbusters — Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones and Melissa McCarthy, minus Kristen Wiig (below), who was out sick — got more than they bargained for, but not more than they could handle, with the online reaction to the all-female remake of the beloved comedy.

Pulling on those ghostbusting jumpsuits and proton packs “definitely puts a little swagger into your step,” McCarthy says.

movies when they are gearing up to save everything?” McKinnon says. “Well, it was like that every day. Only there was groaning involved. Universal groaning.” They display the gear and the jokes well enough. Aggregate site RottenTomatoes.com shows 78% of the movie’s reviews are positive, and The New York Times review trumpets, “Girls rule, women are funny, get over it.” But now isn’t the best time to ask whether these Ghostbusters will ride again. Some of this movie’s burdens are still too raw. “It’s like talking about having a second baby while you’re still delivering the first. It’s like, let’s just get this one out,” McCarthy says as her fellow Ghostbusters break into surprised laughter. “Is that too much, too visual?” she asks. “But with this group of ladies, it would sure be fun.”

If you want to paint a picture of the ever-shifting music landscape, look no further than Views. Drake’s latest is the top-selling album of 2016 so far with 2.6 million equivalent album units sold since April, according to Nielsen Music’s midyear report. The colossal haul reflects a tracking metric adopted by the Billboard 200 albums chart in 2014, which counts 1,500 song streams as one album sale and 10 digital track sales as a single album sold. Views accumulated 1.5 billion streams, 3.2 million song downloads and 1.3 million traditional album sales. That most people are choosing to stream Views — in a year when digital sales are down — shows that streaming platforms such as Apple Music, Spotify and Tidal are fast becoming the go-to methods for music consumption. “The growth of (streaming) is exploding,” says David Bakula, Nielsen Entertainment’s senior vice president of analytics. With Drake, “it’s one of those things

But Adele tops in pure album sales with 1.4 million for 25.

where you’ve got the right artist, the right fan base that is very active on streaming platforms and the right partner in Apple (Music),” which premiered Views exclusively on its service. But how impressive is Drake’s reign? When it comes to pure albums (both physical and digital), Adele actually tops midyear sales with last year’s 25, which sold 1.4 million copies between Jan. 1 and June 30, 2016, and hit streaming services only in midJune. And although Drake’s One Dance is the year’s most “consumed” digital song when you

factor in its 286.4 million streams, Flo Rida’s My House easily bests it in sales (1.9 million downloads vs. Dance’s 1.4 million). Overall, album sales dropped 14% from the first six months of last year (100.3 million), while digital song sales plunged 24% (404.3 million). The latter is partly because one song hasn’t captured the zeitgeist quite like Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars’ Uptown Funk!, which amassed 4.9 million downloads in the first half of 2015 alone. “We’re not even in the ballpark of coming up against that,” Bakula says. “Unless you

get a song that goes viral and is used everywhere, we’re going to have a very tough time coming back in digital tracks.” But there are still some bright spots among the buying masses: Vinyl sales rose 3% to make up 12% of all physical music business, led by David Bowie’s Blackstar (57,000 copies sold). And while Taylor Swift’s 1989 was the only album to sell at least 1 million copies in the first half of 2015, 2016 already has laid claim to three platinum sellers: 25, Views and Beyoncé’s Lemonade, which has sold 1.2 million physical and digital copies since April. The real test of sales will come in the second half of the year, Bakula says. Despite releasing 25 in late November, Adele managed to score the top-selling album of 2015 in just a matter of weeks. “You look at the artists ‘due’ for an album, and you say, ‘Hey, is there going to be a new Eminem record? A Taylor record? A Katy Perry record?’ Which of these superstar artists are going to come with something in the fourth quarter that’s going to help us in our struggle to (match) last year?” Bakula says. “Last year ended very strongly; the Adele numbers were out of this world. It’s going to be very difficult to come up against that this year.”

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Big 12 honors elude Kansas Wednesday, the Big 12 Conference released this year’s preseason all-conference football selections as voted by the media. As you might have guessed, no Kansas University players were mentioned. Because it’s just the preseason, the list was limited to a first-team offense, a first-team defense, place kicker, punter and return man. Just one member of this year’s squad — Oklahoma running back Semaje Perine — also was voted to last year’s All-Big 12 preseason list. And only 15 of the 31 total selections (ties added extra spots) earned spots on last year’s postseason first or second teams. Those facts prove that a lot of good players left the conference after the 2015 season, and their departure created the potential for a Jayhawk to crack the list. But it did not happen. It should not have happened. And nobody, anywhere, was even a little surprised. Imagine for a second, though, if the Big 12 operated like Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game. I’m not talking about the glitz and glamour and celebration. I’m talking about MLB’s decades-old tradition of including every team in its mid-summer classic, regardless of how lousy or devoid of talent a team is. Until the recent resurgence of the Royals, the only All-Star-related noise out of Kansas City came in the form of debates in the weeks leading up to the game about which average player deserved to be included. Today, things are different. Eric Hosmer is the All-Star Game MVP, and Kansas City’s boys of summer have been all over recent All-Star rosters. So what if the Big 12 made a rule that every program had to be represented on the All-Big 12 teams? Which 2016 player would represent KU, and why? Here’s a quick guess, ranked from most likely to least. 1. Joe Dineen, Jr., linebacker — Dineen already has cemented himself as one of the best tacklers in the Big 12, and he had a breakout season in 2015, finishing 10th in the conference with 86 tackles. Six of the nine players ahead of Dineen in the top 10 also play linebacker, but only one (OU’s Jordan Evans) claimed one of the three linebacker spots on this year’s preseason squad. That leaves two spots for Dineen, who should have an even better year this year than he did last year, to slide into. 2. Fish Smithson, Sr., safety — Last year’s Big 12 leader in tackles per game (10.1) and the nation’s leader in solo tackles per game (7.9), Smithson also would be an obvious guess. Here’s the problem: While Smithson no doubt has

Sacramento Kings guard Ben McLemore, who has been working diligently on his game this summer as he prepares to complete the final year of his first NBA contract (four years, $13,087,722), has developed a reputation as a guy who spreads his wealth around. The former Kansas University standout, who is in Lawrence hosting a youth basketball camp with Andrew Wiggins at Sports Pavilion Lawrence, has received the NBA Cares Community Assist award in recognition of his charitable efforts in Sacramento and his hometown of Wellston, Mo.

We’re going to continue to do this.” McLemore likely will need to improve on his 7.8 pointsa-game average of a year ago to net another huge NBA contract and continue his financial influence on youths. “My confidence this summer has been tremendous, been at a higher level as it’s always been,” he said. “I’m working on my all-around game, just getting myself prepared not just for the season but my career, to better myself.

He still is the man you want to hide behind when fearing that a nearby compulsive talker will spot you and make your ears die either from bleeding out or sheer boredom. Yet, even at a wide, muscular, massive 6-foot-8, former Kansas University weight thrower Mason Finley has a distinctly different look these days. He looks so much thinner, which makes sense because he has lost more than 80 pounds over the past three years. “I tipped the scales at 437 one time,” Finley told a gathering of reporters Wednesday at Rock Chalk Park. “I’m at 350. It’s a pretty good weight for me. Next

year I’d like to try 330 just to see how that would be. At 430, almost 440, I couldn’t spin very well. I wasn’t very flexible.” His improved discusthrowing ability earned him an all-expenses-paid trip to Rio de Janeiro, site of the Games of the XXXI Olympiad, aka Rio 2016. Finley entered last week’s USA Olympic trials in Eugene, Ore., ranked No. 5 in the nation and had a personal record, with a toss of 218 feet, 11 inches (66.72 meters), the fourth-best mark in the history of the trials and the best of the meet. “I definitely think I did,” Finley said when asked if he surprised himself. “I knew I was going to throw pretty Please see OLYMPICS, page 3C

Waco, Texas (ap) — Baylor hired Mack Rhoades as its new athletic director on Wednesday, bringing in an experienced administrator it believes will help the reeling program rebound from allegations that it didn’t properly handle sexualassault claims against its football players. Rhoades had been Missouri’s athletic director only since April 2015, a month after he was named to the position. “He is a charismatic leader who pays careful attention to details and cultivates solidarity among the coaches and staff,” interim school president David Garland said in a statement. “He intends to build champions on the field and on the court and to mold student-athletes into champions in their lives after sports.

The College Football Playoff is considering moving future semifinals off New Year’s Eve after television ratings for last season’s games plunged. Executive director Bill Hancock told reporters at Southeastern Conference Media Days in Hoover, Ala., that the conference commissioners who make up the playoff management committee are open to changing future schedules, starting in 2019 when the semifinals are scheduled for New Year’s Eve, and are exploring options. “Our goal is to find the best day when the most people can watch the games,” Hancock said Wednesday. It was a very different message from Hancock than the one he initially delivered after ESPN’s rating for this past season’s College Football Playoff semifinals fell 36 percent from the year before, when the games were played on New Year’s Day. Hancock said in January that several factors could have contributed to the ratings drop and gave no indication the commissioners were ready to change course. The first College Football Playoff after the 2014 season drew record television ratings for ESPN. The first game, the Rose Bowl, kicked off around 4:30 p.m. CT. Last year was the first of a scheduled eight times during a 12-year contract with ESPN that the semifinals were to be played on New Year’s Eve, which fell on a Thursday. The Orange Bowl between Clemson and Oklahoma started around 3:30 p.m. CT, when many people are still at work on what is not a federal holiday. The playoff semifinals are on New Year’s Eve again this season, but Dec. 31, 2016, falls on a Saturday. The semifinals return to New Year’s Day after the 2017 season (Jan. 1, 2018). After last season’s games, Hancock said when the semifinals were played was one of several possible factors that caused TV ratings to fall. Neither the Clemson-Oklahoma game nor Michigan State-Alabama matchup in the Cotton Bowl were close in the fourth quarter. Plus, the matchups for the first semifinals, which included two Heisman Trophywinning quarterbacks (Marcus Mariota of Oregon and Jameis Winston of Florida State), along with Ohio State and Alabama, were particularly appealing and set an almost impossible standard for the second playoff to match. Also, ESPN’s digital platforms drew more viewers in year two.

A TEAMMATE, REAR, OF PETER SAGAN, FRONT, celebrates as Sagan crosses the finish line ahead of Chris Froome to win the 11th stage of the Tour de France on Wednesday, with a start in Carcassonne and finish in Montpellier.

Sagan wins Tour stage ahead of Froome Montpellier, France — World champion Peter Sagan won the windy 11th stage of the Tour de France on Wednesday after getting in a late four-man breakaway that also included overall leader Chris Froome. With 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) remaining in the 162.5-kilometer (101-mile) leg from the medieval city of Carcassonne to Montpellier near the Mediterranean coast, Froome and his Sky teammate Geraint Thomas joined the Tinkoff duo of Sagan and Maciej Bodnar in the lead. “Again it was just another one of those spurof-the-moment kind of things,” Froome said. “When Sagan went I thought, ‘Well, why not? Let me go after him and see what happens.’ The four of us worked well together. It was in all of our best interests to work together. “Peter wanted the stage, and we wanted to gain time on the GC (general classification, or overall) guys,” Froome added. Sagan easily won the sprint finish ahead of Froome, while Bodnar crossed third. It was Sagan’s second victory in this Tour and his sixth career win in cycling’s biggest race.

Brady’s remaining hope is to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. The Patriots open the season Sept. 11 at Arizona. If Brady is suspended, backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo would take his place. Anthony Barkow, a lawyer who submitted an amicus brief on behalf of Kenneth R. Feinberg, the special master of the Sept. 11 Victim Compensation Fund and a longtime arbitrator, said: “We wish the result were otherwise, but respect and understand the decision and know that it is extremely rare for the Second Circuit to grant en banc review.”

pick-up games with current members of KU’s team, including freshman Josh Jackson, who some say will be the top pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. “From what I’ve heard from all the coaches and media and recruits, he’s a great, talented guy,” McLemore said. “Athletic, skilled. Coach Self told me he’s nice. I can’t wait to meet him.” Jackson is the latest in a long line of talented wings in the Self era. Malik Newman also is on board for the following season. “A lot of guys have come here: me, Wiggins, Mario (Chalmers), Brandon Rush, (Keith) Langford,” McLemore said. “They came in and did what they were supposed to do. Xavier (Henry) as a freshman … everybody was, like, that’s a big freshman coming in. He dominated. Bill Self likes those type of guys. He wants to continue to build that especially in his program.”

Daina Levy: making Jamaican history Sprinters, not throwers, have made Jamaica famous in the track world. But Levy sees that changing now that she has become the first Jamaican to qualify for the Olympics in the hammer throw.

Charlotte, N.C. — Former Kansas University pitcher Frank Duncan threw one perfect inning in the International League All-Stars’ 4-2 victory over the PCL All-Stars in the Triple-A All-Star game on Wednesday. Duncan, an All-Big 12 pick as a senior at KU and 13th-round draft pick in the 2014 MLB Draft, threw eight pitches — six for strikes — with a strikeout. “It means a great deal to be an All-Star,” Duncan said before the game. “I have always wanted to be part of an All-Star team, and I am fortunate enough to have had the success this year to be in Charlotte for this celebration with all the talent in Triple-A from all over the country.” Duncan made his TripleA debut May 10. He is 6-4 with a 2.49 earned-run average for the Indianapolis Indians. “The last month has been great, but it has also felt like a blur,” Duncan said. “When you get to this level, each time you take the mound you need to treat it as the most important outing in your life.”

KU’s Smithson on awards lists Kansas University senior football safety Fish Smithson was named to the Wuerffel Trophy watch list and the Allstate American Football Coaches Association Good Works Team on Wednesday. The Wuerffel Trophy, known as “College Football’s Premier Award for Community Service,” is presented annually by the All Sports Association in Fort Walton Beach, Fla. The AFCA Good Works Team was established in 1992 to recognize a select group of college football players who have made a commitment to service and enriching the lives of others.

They said I ran some ridiculous (slow) time, and I said, ‘That’s not right.’ I had to run across the field and talk to the coaches for Nigeria. We talked to the video people, and they realized it was me. Then they weren’t sure if I was Zainab or not. It was kind of weird. They were like, ‘You’re not Zainab.’ I said, ‘I am Zainab.’ It was weird.” It pays to speak up when on the wrong end of an injustice. “If I hadn’t spoken up, I definitely wouldn’t be part of the 4x100 because I wouldn’t have run the finals, and I wouldn’t have placed top-six,” Sanni said. “So my place would have been given to somebody else.”

OK because practices were going great. Meets were going great. I did not expect to P.R.” Being ranked 13th in the world does not kill Finley’s dreams of winning a gold medal. “If you look at the competition going into the Olympic trials, I was fifth,” he said. And look what happened. He was first on both days of the trials. Finely transferred to Wyoming for his final two seasons of indoor eligibility and final outdoor season because of “family issues,” he said. His heart, however, remains in Lawrence. He trains with his KU coach, Andy Kokhanovsky, who competed in the 1996 Olympics for Ukraine. “Definitely have a shot,” Finley said. “It’s basically a mental game now. I’ve never been in an arena this big. Luckily, I have a coach who has. I definitely have that going for me, and I’m excited to see what I can do.” Five Jayhawks, current and former, qualified for the Olympics. Triplejumper Andrea Geubelle is training in her hometown of Tacoma, Wash. Finley and the three others conducted interviews Wednesday at Rock Chalk Park.

MASON FINLEY COMPETES DURING THE MEN’S DISCUS-THROW FINAL at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials in this photo from July 8 in Eugene, Ore. “Having exposure for the hammer is going to make a huge difference with people actually learning what it is and getting more opportunities to train in the hammer,” Levy said. She did not make it to the NCAA championships this past spring because she fouled out at the regional meet. “It was a humbling moment, but it kind of lit a fire,” Levy said. “It made a huge difference, and I think it’s what got me over the edge and got me where I am.” She relived the moment that made her an Olympian. “When I saw it sailing, I was just screaming,” Levy said. “Then when I heard the mark, I was

running, screaming, hitting stuff. I was all over the place. I just lost my mind. It was the most joy I’ve experienced in my entire life.” As she spoke, her words painted a picture of her running as fast as she can, which isn’t all that fast by Jamaican standards. “People don’t realize, even Jamaicans don’t realize, that there are more than just sprinters in Jamaica,” she said.

Zainab Sanni: ‘I am Zainab’ She moved with her family from Nigeria to Colorado at the age of 9 because her parents wanted their children educated in America. Her first trip back to her native country came

last week in the Olympic trials. “Overall, it was a great experience, going back home for the first time in 12 years,” she said. “I was happy to be back.” Sanni saw relatives, some for the first time. “When I landed, I was able to see my uncle, and before coming back here I visited my aunt, my dad’s younger sister, and my cousins,” she said. “I spent a day with them, and that was really nice. I had met my dad’s sister, but not my cousins.” Plus, she finished sixth in the 100-meter finals, securing a spot on the 4x100 relay team. Note, however, she said that “overall” the experience was a good one,

which meant that not every aspect of it was. “The 100 meters, it was kind of rocky because they said I didn’t make it to the final,” Sanni said. “I had to talk to the officials, and it turned out I did make it, and I got first in the heat. That was like 20 minutes to the final, and I had to warm up again, but I got sixth, and I’m still happy with that because I got sixth, and they take the top six.” She elaborated, to the best of her ability, on the clerical mistake that nearly cost her a trip to the Olympics. “I don’t know why they got it messed up,” she said. “They gave my place to some other girl. I heard the list who was running in the finals, and my name wasn’t on it.

Kyle Clemons: ‘I’m an Olympian’ A two-time Big 12 champion in the 400 meters in 2013 for Kansas, Clemons finished sixth at the Olympic trials to earn a spot on the 4x400 relay team. “The most exciting thing I keep thinking about is the opening ceremonies,” Clemons said. “Seeing it on TV, seeing everyone dressed up in their polo outfits and stuff like that, USA, and each country. The race itself is also going to be cool, but I feel like at this point it’s almost just the fun part. It’s going to be a lot of nerves, of course, but we worked so hard to get to this point so the hard part is over with.” He summed up the aspects of the Rio trip he most looks forward to experiencing. “The opening ceremonies, the race, and just making new memories, being in a new place,” Clemons said. “Being able to say I’m an Olympian, that’s going to be the cool part.”

Troon, Scotland (ap) — Jordan Spieth, going for the third leg of the career Grand Slam, spent more time talking about a golf course he will never see. The majority of his news conference was taken up with questions about the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro and why he chose not to play. Spieth knew that was coming. It was only when he was leaving the room that the 22-year-old Texan smiled and said to no one in particular, “Do we have a tournament this week?” Finally, yes. Colin Montgomerie, who lived across the street from Royal Troon when his father was the club secretary, was to hit the first tee shot when the British Open begins today. That should put to rest three days of consternation about another tournament — the Olympics — that doesn’t have nearly the history or the tradition of golf’s oldest championship. The International Golf Federation, run by former R&A chief Peter Dawson, took over Open week on Monday to announce that Olympic qualifying had ended and that Spieth (along with Rory McIlroy, Jason Day, Dustin Johnson and 16 other men) was not playing. The next day, Spieth stood by his decision (“health concerns”) and said his goal would be to get to the Tokyo Games in 2020, assuming the men are still in the games. McIlroy followed him into the room and blasted golf officials who for the last seven years have preached the Olympics as an opportunity to grow the game. “I didn’t get into golf to grow the game,” McIlroy said. “I got into golf to win championships, and win major championships.” Even on Wednesday,

DUSTIN JOHNSON, CENTER, TALKS WITH Gary Woodland during a practice round for the British Open on Tuesday in Troon, Scotland. Woodland, a former Kansas University golfer, was scheduled to tee off in the first round at 3:47 a.m. (CDT) today. the day before the 145th Open began, another news conference was held with the IGF backdrop to announce Britain’s golf team. Claret jug, anyone? Spieth let it slip through his fingers last year at St. Andrews going for his third straight major, and he wound up holding it later that evening — but only because he was with Zach Johnson, the champion golfer of the year, when it was over. “I crave to have that trophy in my possession at some point,” Spieth said. “And to reach a third leg of the Grand Slam this week would be a fantastic achievement.” History is on his side, even if it’s more of a coincidence. The last six British Open champions at Royal Troon dating to 1950 are Americans, and it didn’t escape Spieth when he looked at photos of the winners in the clubhouse. The last two winners, Todd Hamilton and Justin Leonard, lived in Dallas. Spieth arrived on the weekend and already saw the unpredictable nature of these Ayrshire links off the Irish Sea. The wind was into his face on Saturday and Sunday on the easier

opening holes, and the prevailing wind at his back returned the following three days. Royal Troon is clearly a tale of two nines. The front nine typically is downwind and doesn’t have a par 4 longer than 422 yards. The back nine turns into the wind and doesn’t have a par 4 that is shorter than 430 yards. The common denominator?

Jordan Spieth, going for the third leg of

the Grand Slam, missed the playoff by one shot. Last time at Royal Troon: Todd Hamilton got up-anddown from 40 yards away using a hybrid for his fourth straight par to defeat Ernie Els in a four-hole playoff in 2004. Open champions at Royal Troon: Arthur Havers (1923), Bobby Locke (1950), Arnold Palmer (1962), Tom Weiskopf (1973), Tom Watson (1982), Mark Calcavecchia (1989), Justin Leonard (1997), Todd Hamilton (2004).
