FROM BROADWAY TO BAKER City audit: Incentives process has ‘gaps’

THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD KELSEY FISHER, OF LEAWOOD, IS AMONG THE FIRST TO GET STRETCHED OUT before an afternoon of dance practice during Broadway at Baker, a musical theater training intensive July 11 in Rice Auditorium. Fifty-three selected students from around the Midwest and elsewhere collaborate at the camp to produce a Broadway-style musical in one week.

hen he sat down 26 years ago in the theater seat at what was then West Junior High School, Drew Starlin had no idea his life was about to change.

Up to that time, he was a ninthgrader crazy about sports, participating in football, basketball and track at school and playing baseball in the summer. As he watched the performance of a troupe former Lawrence resident Cary DanielsonPandzik brought to the school, another passion began to take hold of his imagination.

“I was a sports guy — a big sports guy,” he said. “There was something in that show that was so much more fulfilling. It resonated with me. I had never done anything like that, but for some reason I was completely enthralled about the possibility.’”

Danielson-Pandzik told the West students of a camp for young performers she would have that summer at Bethel College in Newton. The newly enthralled Starlin decided to give it a try, convincing a friend to make the trip with him.

The city auditor issued 14 recommendations to alter Lawrence’s practices for giving subsidies for economic development, including consistently gathering information from the companies seeking them.

After looking into the city’s economic development incentives over the past several months, Auditor Michael Eglinski will present an audit report Tuesday to the City Commission. Overall, Eglinski said, Lawrence is already following many of the best practices established for deciding on — and monitoring — incentives. But, he said, “there are some gaps.”

“A lot of the recomCITY mendations in there COMMISSION are intended to add in some of the best practices that maybe we’re not doing,” he said.

Besides gathering the same information from every company seeking incentives, Eglinski is recommending city officials communicate more about the risks associated with economic development incentives, scrutinize businessprovided data and more logically set application fees.

The audit report is being released during a time when commissioners must decide whether to eliminate the position of city auditor for budgetary reasons. In his 2017 budget proposal, Markus recommended cutting the city auditor position, along with eight other full-time positions and one part-time position.

t is the time of year at city halls, county courthouses and other seats of local government where one of two items usually gets thrown: Sofa cushions get tossed in search of loose change, or rotten tomatoes get hurled at those who instead choose to find their money by raising taxes.

It also is the time of year where residents ask the natural question of: Are taxes too high here?

So, back to the question: Are taxes too high here? For some, the default answer is always yes. But for others, they like to pause and consider a community’s quality of life, its amenities, and how it stacks up against the taxes of other cities.

When they’re systematically communicated in a process, you can say, ‘OK,’ or you can look at it a little closer and say, ‘Maybe CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A we need to think about a way to manage the The recommendations risk.’ That’s a best practice. If we want to aim also come as two city higher, we can do that.” boards are in the process of providing commissioners their thoughts on proposed changes to the city’s incentives policies. The Joint Economic Development Council and the Public Incentives Review Committee have cited concerns about some of the commission-initiated changes, which include a cap on the amount of tax abatement projects can receive.

Ideas from the boards will be sent to the City Commission, which will have a work session on the issue. City officials have said the session would take place after the city budget is voted on in August.

One proposed change is to increase application fees — an action city staff is recommending. Eglinksi said “there’s not currently a logic” to the fees, and the city should set them based on the costs they want to recover for staff time spent reviewing and analyzing applications.

While reviewing incentives granted in the past few years, Eglinski found city officials were collecting disclosure information, such as bankruptcies and ongoing litigation, from “some, but not all applicants.”

In his report, Eglinski noted Neuvant House Inc., an assisted living community, provided disclosure information for industrial revenue bonds it received from the city in 2013. In 2015, owners of The Eldridge Hotel were not asked to provide disclosure information in an application for industrial revenue bonds and a tax abatement, the report shows.

“Before you do business with someone, you want to know if they’re bankrupt, if they’re on default of something,” Eglinski said. “I’m not saying a decision would be different, but if we think this information is useful and we think the Neuvant House should provide it, then we should also think The Eldridge Hotel should provide it.”

In a response to Eglinski’s report, City Manager

Tom Markus wrote he agreed “disclosure information should be provided related to projects requesting up-front incentives, such as loans or grants.”

With other, pay-as-yougo incentives, such as tax increment financing — in which the city diverts collecting property taxes on the increased value of a developed property — “staff does not believe that additional due diligence work would add value,” Markus wrote.

“In these cases, no incentives are provided until the project has been completed and annual performance is shown,” he said.

“Staff believes that the analysis and due diligence should be commensurate with public risk.”

When combing through staff reports and listening to City Commission meetings about four recently granted incentives, Eglinski said he did not see that risks regarding the subsidies were consistently identified and communicated.

“Risks, to me, are not communicated as well,” Eglinski said. “I went through every staff report, listened to every City Commission meeting; I wanted to hear what we say.”

According to the Government Finance Officers Association, which Eglinski used as a resource for his recommendations, some risks involved with economic development projects are: project failure, not achieving results within the desired timeframe or with the desired outcome, revenues falling short and negative environmental effects.

In his response, Markus wrote that “pay-as-yougo” incentives, which require companies to perform in order to receive incentives, “really carry no risk to the city in the event of underperformance.” He went on to say that Eglinski’s recommendation to

analyze risks and uncertainties, and provide them to decision-makers, should be a “case-by-case determination, not a blanket requirement.”

“When they’re systematically communicated in a process, you can say, ‘OK,’ or you can look at it a little closer and say, ‘Maybe we need to think about a way to manage the risk,’” Eglinski said.

“That’s a best practice.

If we want to aim higher, we can do that.”

In annual reports about economic development incentives — which Markus said in his response is “extensive, thorough and informative” — city officials include information on how companies receiving incentives are performing. Eglinski said city officials should “take steps to verify” the data in those reports, which is self-reported from the companies.

When submitting the data, companies are currently asked to sign a statement that the information is correct.

“In some performance agreements, the city has access to records that could help verify reported information,” Eglinski wrote in his report. “Verifying data helps improve the reliability of the reporting.”

Markus noted the city could verify information when a question arises about the reliability of a company’s information.

But the cost of additional staff time to look at every company’s information likely outweighs the risk that a company is reporting inaccurately, he wrote.

The City Commission will see a presentation with all 14 recommendations at its Tuesday meeting. Commissioners convene at 5:45 p.m. at City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St.

education next year.

The Lawrence BLAST program is a component of the communitywide “Be Active Safe Routes” initiative, which works to make routes to school more accessible by foot and bicycle. A state grant provided a large part of the funding for the month-long pilot of the BLAST program this past school year, in which about 300 students at four elementary schools participated.

“When it was finished, our PE teachers loved it,” Showalter said. “All of them got together to talk about how they thought they could integrate it into the curriculum that they’ve already developed. They’d already talked about pedestrian and bicycle safety, and it just seemed like a really good fit.”

For the pilot, the district borrowed bicycles from the coordinators of the BLAST program, BikeWalkKC. In the future, the district and its program partners would like to purchase additional bicycle fleets in order to expand BLAST to more grade levels.

“For right now we’re going to see how many schools we can reasonably provide BLAST education to with the bike fleet in both spring and fall of this coming year,” Showalter said. “And hopefully we see some improvement in the number of bicycles we have in the next couple of years.”

Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department to purchase a fleet of bikes to launch the program districtwide next school year. Maintenance costs for the bikes will come from the district’s capital outlay budget.

Making bicycles available to all students is a key component of the program, said Michael Showalter, health promotion specialist with the health department.

“It was just magical,” he said. “I worked so hard and found out so many things about myself. I did a show. I’d never done a show before. It was my first time on stage.”

This past week, Starlin’s life came full circle. Since July 10, he has served as the head choreographer for Broadway at Baker. The annual youth musical theater summer camp is a collaboration between Baker University and Danielson-Pandzik’s Music Theatre for Young People of Kansas City.

Danielson-Pandzik said it was her 25th year of bringing talented teens to Baker since she moved from Wichita to Kansas City. Each year, she brings about 50 of the most talented students from northeast Kansas and northwest Missouri to Baker for each of two one-weeklong camps, using the same format that introduced a young Starlin to the stage.

After auditions on the first day of the camp, the teens are assigned roles and engage in a week of intense rehearsals before they put on a campending performance of “Footloose” on Sunday at Baker’s Rice Auditorium.

The camp crams into one week the same amount of rehearsal time that students get in two months preparing for high school musicals, Starlin explained.

“Cary realized if the campers rehearsed 12 hours a day in three intense, four-hour sessions, she would have the same amount of time,” he said.

For Starlin, the intense week of camp 26 years ago was transformative, he said. He surprised those who knew him by not going out for any sports his first year at Lawrence High School until he joined the baseball team in the spring.

Instead, he took part in the school’s theatrical performances. He started reading books on acting by the likes of Uta Hagen and Constantin Stanislavsky and watched movies and plays attentive to what the actors were bringing to their roles.

“It was a curious transition for my life,” he said. “When you think about the transition into high school, that’s when

Miscarriage opens rift in women’s friendship Dear Annie: My husband was recently transferred at work to New York City from Chicago. That meant having to start all over again.

Three years ago, we had a beautiful baby girl, Sophia. As a stay-at-home mom, I had worked hard at building a strong support network in Chicago with friends and family.

When we first arrived at Sophia’s new school, we found people to be a little standoffish.

A month passed by and still no friends or community. My husband and I just thought this would be the new normal. Then I met Chloe at Central Park.

She has a little girl, named Madeline, who is just Sophia’s age. She introduced me to some of the other neighborhood moms. Within weeks, I felt a sense of community and was

beginning to love my new city.

One sunny spring day while Chloe and I were pushing our daughters on the swings at Central Park, she said, ‘‘I’m pregnant. We’re expecting in September.’’

I was so surprised. I was pregnant, too, but had wanted to wait the traditional 12 weeks before telling anyone. I was so caught off guard that I blurted out, ‘‘I am, as well.’’ Chloe was so enthusiastic about

HBO delivers eye-opening documentary A sweet, short documentary running just over a half-hour, “Open Your Eyes” (6:30 p.m., HBO) transports viewers to another world. Nearly 20 million people suffer from cataract blindness, a highly treatable disease. In fact, the intraocular lens at the heart of cataract surgery is now available for less than $2.

The problem is reaching the world’s blind, many who live in rural poverty in far-flung locations. “ O p e n Y o u r Eyes” travels to the top of the world to document the treatment and surgery for Manisara and Durga, an aging couple located in the remote Himalayan Mountains of Nepal. Simple farmers, they’ve both been blind for more than a dozen years and have several grandchildren they’ve never seen.

Over the course of this film, we see specialists visit their village and transport them to a city clinic, where the procedure that transforms their lives takes less than a minute.

The appropriateness of the film’s title becomes apparent over its brief running time.

“Open Your Eyes” unfolds in a matter-of-fact fashion, asking viewers to stare at the wrinkled faces of its elderly subjects, to contemplate their exotic and austere customs. Manisara may be blind, but she has an amazing fashion sense, and gold nose piercings to boot. Shown with subtitles, the film does not feature a single Western doctor or nurse.

But like the most predictable reality show, there is a “reveal” in the third act, when Grandmother Manisara sees her own hands for the first time and marvels at the faces of her grandchildren and the aged face of her own husband and old girlhood friend. Her husband, Durga, always more stoic, says very little and appears to be unmoved. But he later explains that the restoration of his sight has left him speechless.

Tonight’s other highlights

The Atlanta finals unfold on a two-hour “American Ninja Warrior” (7 p.m., NBC, TV-PG).

The top 10 compete on a two-hour helping of “So You Think You Can Dance” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-PG).

Channing Tatum, Chris Pratt and Rosario Dawson star in the 2011 high school reunion drama “Ten Years” (7 p.m., CW, TV-14).

Photographers besiege Grace on “Guilt” (8 p.m., Freeform, TV-14).

Cole and Railly seem resigned to the past on the season finale of “12 Monkeys” (8 p.m., Syfy, TV-14).

the whole thing, going on and on about how the new babies could be best friends like our daughters or how they could get married someday.

I was really starting to love New York — until my husband and I went for our 12-week checkup. There was no heartbeat. A few days later, I miscarried.

At first, all I wanted to do was stay in bed all day and cry. But I knew that I had to be strong for my daughter and husband. I joined a support group for women who have miscarried, and eventually I shared my tragedy with Chloe. Her eyes became watery as I shared the news with her.

But very quickly, she changed the subject. As time went on, she never spoke of her pregnancy.

When she delivered her baby in September, she

Cooperative effort Lawrence should work with Johnson County officials to preserve the beneficial K-10 Connector service.

L

awrence officials may not believe the city can pay as much for the K-10 Connector bus service as Johnson County officials have requested, but it might behoove them to approach the issue with a more cooperative attitude.

The K-10 Connector makes several trips each day between Kansas University, Johnson County Community College and KU’s Edwards Campus. It is a useful service for many Lawrence residents and helps reduce traffic on Kansas Highway 10. It seems like the kind of service that the city would like to support or even expand. (How about an I-70 Connector bus between Lawrence and Topeka?)

However, as The K-10 budget discussions are ramping up in Connector Lawrence, deliberprovides a ations are getting a good service little testy, and turf issues are rearing to Lawrence their ugly heads. residents — a At a meeting of the service that Lawrence Public Lawrence Transit Advisory Committee on couldn’t afford Tuesday, Transit to provide on Director Robert its own — and it Nugent was quick to debunk the asdoesn’t seem sertion of Johnson unreasonable County officials for the city that former Lawto cooperate rence City Manager David Corliss with another had “approved in community to concept” a plan provide that that would raise Lawrence’s finanservice. cial support of the bus service from $120,000 per year to $327,800 per year. Without the increased support, which Nugent estimated was about a third of the total cost of operating the service, Johnson County said it would need to “revisit and reassess its support of the route.”

Not only was that deal not struck, Nugent said, but he questioned how much Lawrence should contribute to a service it doesn’t operate. “They’re not running that route for us — we didn’t ask them to provide that route,” he said. “I’ve been in business for almost 30 years, and I’ve never funded somebody else’s service.”

That may be true, but the city has worked hard to coordinate its services with the KU bus service and is working with KU on plans for a transit hub. The K-10 Connector provides a good service to Lawrence residents — a service that Lawrence couldn’t afford to provide on its own — and it doesn’t seem unreasonable for the city to cooperate with another community to provide that service. Nugent told the advisory committee that, according to Johnson County, 60 percent of the ridership is people going from Douglas County to Johnson County.

Officials may be right that $327,800 is too much for the city’s budget to handle this year. Maybe they could help the K-10 Connector explore other options like fare increases or asking KU to help share the cost. There’s no need to draw a line in the sand. Let’s try to work together on a workable plan to continue a service that benefits both Lawrence and Johnson County.

Female leader could be spark for U.N. Paris — When it comes to Western political leaders, we have definitely arrived at The Time of the Woman.

Hillary Clinton is the first serious female candidate for U.S. president, Theresa May just took over as British prime minister and Germany’s Angela Merkel remains the most powerful European politician. Moreover, the nationalist Marine Le Pen will most likely make the final round for French president in 2017.

So why not a woman to succeed Ban Ki-moon for secretary-general of the United Nations when he steps down later this year?

At a time of overwhelming global crises, when the U.N. is flagging and international institutions are under attack, might a female leader provide the spark to rejuvenate the world body? That’s a question member states are pondering. Even Ban has weighed in, saying it is “high time for a secretary-general to be a woman.”

That would be a big jump for an organization that had a reputation for rampant sexism not so long ago.

The top U.N. official is selected by the Security Council in what used to be a secretive process that generally rotated the job by region. Last year, the rules were changed to produce a more transparent selection process; six of the 12 candidates are women, and the betting is that this year’s choice will come from Eastern Europe.

The Security Council will still make the final cut — and will conduct an informal “straw poll” on July 21.

I sat down in a Left Bank café with Irina Bokova, one of the leading candidates, who is a Bulgarian diplomat

Even Ban has weighed in, saying it is ‘high time for a secretary-general to be a woman.’” and the first female directorgeneral of the Paris-based United Nations Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

I asked the elegant, grayhaired Bokova, who is fluent in English, French, Spanish and Russian as well as her own language, why she thought a woman secretarygeneral could make a difference.

“We need a critical mass of women to take up serious positions, so it becomes natural,” she told me. “I don’t say we are better than men, (but) it changes the overall culture of doing politics.”

The implication is that a woman might do better at promoting programs for mediation and prevention of war.

Perhaps, although we seem to be entering a global phase in which testosterone-driven violence trumps efforts at conflict resolution.

Still, there is every reason that qualified women should have the chance to show their stuff, and Bokova has become a role model for them.

What the Lawrence Journal-World stands for

Wall of Jerusalem’s Old City as part of a holy Muslim complex while ignoring its status as Judaism’s holiest location. And she successfully fought to get jihadi looting and destruction of ancient Mideast cultural sites, such as Palmyra, officially labeled a war crime.

However, when UNESCO members recognized the state of Palestine in 2011, triggering a cutoff of U.S. dues, Bokova had to manage a 30 percent cut to her budget (a skill that led Ban to appoint her chair of a highlevel management committee).

Whether Bokova’s experience at UNESCO and as acting Bulgarian foreign minister will suffice to manage, let alone reform, a balky U.N. staff of 44,000 is a question.

She must also overcome rumors, which she strongly denies, that she is close to Russia’s Vladimir Putin. She notes that both her children live in the United States, one is a U.S. citizen, and her brief meetings with Putin were part of official U.N. delegations.

Then there are the five other female candidates, including ex-Croatian Foreign Minister Vesna Pusic and the head of the U.N.’s development program, Helen Clark, a former New Zealand prime minister. Not to mention those six male contenders.

But by promoting female U.N. leadership by her example, Bokova has already done the world body a service. Men have few bragging rights when it comes to running the United Nations. So why not give a highly qualified woman the chance?

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for July 18, 1916: years “With the apago pointment of A. IN 1916 E. Blair as building inspector, the city commission today took the final step toward putting the new building ordinance into operation. The appointment came after considerable discussion of what should be expected of the new official. It was pointed out that he could not be a practicing plumber, since the city attorney’s opinion was to the effect that a man could not inspect his own work....

Mr. Blair is an architect. He is at present out of the city on business. It is expected that his duties will begin here about August 1.”

she said. Under Bokova, UNESCO has worked intensively to expand education prospects for girls and women in poor countries.

Of course, the challenges facing the United Nations go far beyond gender parity.

With xenophobic nationalism on the rise in the West, as well as in Russia and China, the future of multinational organizations is in question.

As civil wars and terrorism increase, U.N. negotiating efforts to end the Syrian conflict have failed, and its agencies have been deluged by refugee crises and pandemics such as Ebola. Meantime, peacekeeping operations (with 104,000 troops) are in a negative spotlight after allegations of sexual abuse by some of its troops.

As for the job itself, the U.N.’s chief executive must simultaneously function as mega-manager, fundraiser, mediator and global proselytizer for peace, economic development and human rights — even when members aren’t listening.

I asked Bokova why she would even want the job.

“My husband asks me the same question,” she replied with a laugh. But she insists — despite a world moving in the opposite direction — that she still fervently believes in multilateralism and the possibilities of preventive action.

She is no stranger to uphill battles. On her watch, UNESCO, whose member states often take anti-Israel positions, developed a teacher-training program and curricula on preventing genocide and on Holocaust education. Last year, she blocked a resolution by UNESCO’s executive board to reclassify the Western

Key position To the editor: The success of events such as Final Fridays, Lawrence Buskerfest and the Free State Festival are proof that arts and culture activities pull people into our community and generate sales tax revenue. The redevelopment of industrial buildings in East Lawrence is a prime example of how arts and culture spur outside investment in the community, increasing real estate values of the whole neighborhood and generating additional revenue for the city through property taxes.

The director of arts and culture is building on these efforts and will create new ones that will continue to impact the economy of our community.

Eliminating the position of the director of arts and culture from the city budget seems short

sighted and would negatively impact the momentum that is bringing added revenue to our community.

This position is not a luxury but a key ingredient in the mix of economic development strategies needed to have a thriving community.

Countless studies have shown the impact of arts and culture in terms of economic development, quality of life and education. Forward thinking cities across the country have recognized the power of the arts as an income generator and have created whole departments of arts and culture to capitalize on the opportunities presented by thriving arts communities, organizations and individual artists.

Previous city commissioners, city staff and community volunteers have recognized the value of a staff position to coordinate and expand the economic

development opportunities provided by a thriving arts community. We must stay the course set by these visionaries and continue to reap the rewards of their efforts.

“Bridge street is receiving its first sprinkling of the summer at the hands of city officials this morning. A team from the fire department was put to work this morning with the water wagon to settle the heavy dust that has been bothering the merchants on the north side. Early in the summer a few lengths of hose from the fire department were loaned to the merchants along the street to use in connection with the fire plugs. But the plan did not work satisfactorily according to the officers of the water company, and it was said that the damage to the fire plugs made fire protection inadequate. The hose was removed and since that time no sprinkling has been done. The work started this morning is to be permanent, according to the city commissioners, and the street will be kept in good condition during the remainder of the summer.”

The bill for an average home in Leawood has increased by $3 in the last two years.

The income equation In case you are wondering how many plasma banks there are in Leawood to help a fellow pay nearly $6,000 a year in property taxes, let me explain something important: The average Leawood resident earns a lot more than the average Lawrence resident. Just like housing values, the average income in each community varies widely.

What I do here is use a Census number that measures the median earnings for a full-time, year-round worker in each community. (Technically, it is a male worker. Data that combines earnings for females and males were a little tougher to get a hold of for each community.)

I used this number because more ordinary numbers, like per capita income, catch a lot of college students in Lawrence who don’t have much income because they are being supported by their parents or living off student loans. I think the more ordinary numbers artificially deflate Lawrence’s income totals, so I use this figure for full-time workers to try to account for that.

One last caveat: This method really is just a way to rank the communities. It isn’t meant to show how much of the average household’s paycheck goes toward property taxes. I recognize many households have dual incomes. For the purpose of this ranking exercise, I’m only using a single income from the average male worker. So, while the percentages may not be as meaningful as I would like, I believe the ranking

Lawrence and Manhattan probably share some of the same problems in this category. The demand for rental housing in a college community pushes up the overall price of houses. Unless your economy becomes loaded with high-tech jobs connected to the university, home prices often can get ahead of incomes. Lawrence, thus far, hasn’t seen that type of income growth.

DEADLIEST ATTACKS ON LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS IN RECENT YEARS July 17, 2016 Baton Rouge

3 killed

Bart Jansen @ganjansen USA TODAY

Three police officers were fatally shot in Baton Rouge and three others were wounded, according to officials, in what one witness described as a fusillade of dozens of shots shattering the calm of a Sunday morning.

President Obama condemned the attack, which came just 10 days after a gunman killed five police officers in Dallas — and 12 days after police in Baton Rouge fatally shot 37-year-old Alton Sterling while he was pinned to the ground.

Police have said the officers, who were white, thought Sterling, who was black, was reaching for a gun in the July 5 shooting. Sterling’s funeral was Friday.

Speaking from the White House, Obama said there was no justification for Sunday’s “cowardly and reprehensible” violence against law enforcement. “Regardless of motive, the death of these three brave officers underscores the danger that police across the country confront every single day,” Obama said.

The gunman, who was African-

American, was killed at the scene, police said. But no motivation for the shootings was immediately been revealed. A law enforcement official identified the gunman as Gavin E. Long, 29.

The official, who is not authorized to comment publicly, said Long is from the Kansas City area and did not appear to have family links to Baton Rouge.

Ivanka Trump will try to help her father win women’s votes.

Authorities recovered a rifle and a handgun that Long is believed to have used in the attack.

Investigators were looking at Long's possible links to black separatists groups.

The official said authorities believe that Long acted alone, despite initial reports from local law enforcement that as many as two others were being sought.

“There are a lot of undercover Trump voters, and a lot of them are female,” said KellyAnne Conway, a pollster and strategist who supported Texas Sen. Ted Cruz during the primaries but recently joined the Trump campaign.

“They agree with him on issues, but they aren’t there yet” to support him as a candidate.

The four-day convention is the best opportunity Trump will have, at least until the debates in the fall, to convince them they should. Women make up a majority of the American electorate, and as many as three-fourths of them tell pollsters they have a negative view of him. That’s a big boost for Democrat Hillary Clinton: A majority of her backers say they plan to vote for her mostly because they are against Trump.

“Trump’s weakness with women is one of the biggest hurdles he faces in terms of making the numbers add up in the country,” says Geoffrey Garin, a Democratic pollster who advised Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign and is a strategist for Priorities USA, the

Turkey resumes fight against ISIL after coup is crushed Incirlik air base reopens operations Jim Michaels @jimmichaels USA TODAY

U.S. air operations at Turkey’s Incirlik air base — critical in the fight against the Islamic State — resumed Sunday, a day after flights were canceled because of an attempted military coup, the Pentagon said.

The base was reopened as the Justice Ministry announced that Turkey had detained about 6,000

people in connection with the failed coup. Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag said the number could grow.

“After close coordination with our Turkish allies, they have reopened their airspace to military aircraft,” Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook said in a statement.

“As a result, counter-ISIL coalition air operations at all air bases in Turkey have resumed,” he said, using an acronym for the Islamic State.

Turkey is a vital partner in the U.S.-led coalition’s war against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. The attempted coup raised concerns that political instability

there could set back the fight against the militant group.

Beginning last year, Turkey allowed U.S. aircraft to use the base to conduct airstrikes against the Islamic State, a move that placed attack planes and refueling aircraft closer to targets in Iraq and

Syria, both of which border Turkey.

Saturday, as the coup collapsed, Turkey closed its airspace to military aircraft, forcing the U.S.-led coalition to rely more on other bases to launch strikes.

The continued use of Incirlik

suggests that Turkey’s commitment to the fight against the Islamic State won’t waver, at least in the short term.

Turkish President Recep Erdogan has begun a purge of officers suspected of participating in or supporting the coup.

Turkey’s Justice minister said in a television interview Sunday that he was confident the United States would extradite Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen, who lives in exile in Pennsylvania.

Erdogan alleged that Gulen, 75, a onetime political ally, was behind the coup and called for his extradition. Gulen denied any involvement in the plot Saturday.

It was immediately unclear what precipitated the attack, though the official said investigators were reviewing 911 calls to determine whether the officers were lured to the location of the shooting.

Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards earlier suggested the attack may have involved more than one assailant, but Col. Michael Edmonson, superintendent of state police, told reporters, “We do believe that the person that shot and killed our officers — that he is the person who was shot and killed at the scene.”

One of the slain officers was identified as 32-year-old Montrell Jackson, a 10-year-veteran of the Baton Rouge Police Department.

The second victim was identified as Matthew Gerald, 41.

The third slain officer was a 45year-old East Baton Rouge sheriff’s deputy, according to Sheriff Sid Gautreaux III. A 41-year-old sheriff deputy was fighting for his life in critical condition after surgery, he said. A third, 51-year-old deputy suffered nonlife-threatening injuries, he said. A 41-year-old city officer also suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

“We will continue to do our job in light of what’s happening,” Baton Rouge Police Chief Carl Dabadie said at the news conference.

“This is not going to tarnish this city or this department. We’re going to move forward.”

Ex-Marine killed Baton Rouge cops on birthday Doug Stanglin and Kevin Johnson USA TODAY

The gunman who allegedly shot and killed three Baton Rouge police officers on Sunday was identified as Gavin Long, 29, a Kansas City, Mo., resident, according to two federal law enforcement sources. A Pentagon official confirmed that Long is a Marine veteran who served in Iraq in 2008.

After opening fire on police, Long was killed at the scene. The attack occurred on his 29th birthday.

Long, an African-American, is from the Kansas City area, but does not appear to have family links to Baton Rouge, according to a federal law enforcement source who is not authorized to speak publicly. Investigators are looking at Long’s possible links to black separatists groups, the source said.

Police believe that Long may have been in a rental car that had been stolen five or six days ago in a Midwestern state, according to the source.

EDMUND D FOUNTAIN FOR USA TODAY

Two “persons of interest” have been detained near Baton Rouge, a police spokesman told The Associated Press.

Authorities were continuing to investigate the shootings that began about 8:40 a.m. less than a mile from police headquarters, in the area of Airline Highway and Old Hammond Highway.

Kelly Zimmerman of Our Lady of the Lake said the hospital received five patients. Three were dead, one is in critical condition and the other is in fair condition,

Zimmerman said.

Obama urged politicians to temper their rhetoric and focus on unity as the Republican and Democratic conventions loomed.

“We don’t need inflammatory rhetoric,” Obama said. “Someone once wrote: a bullet need happen only once, but for peace to work we have to be reminded of its existence again and again and again.”

Contributing: Chris Woodyard, Ryan Miller, Jack Richards, Brett Blackledge and Greg Toppo.

Pentagon officials said Long was a data network specialist in the Marines, where he held the rank of sergeant. He served an 8month tour of Iraq, beginning in the summer of 2008. Records indicate that Long has lived in Kansas City and Grandview, as well as Tuscaloosa, Ala., where he apparently was a student at the University of Alabama.

Several media outlets said Long appears on social media under the pseudonym Cosmo Setepenra, who describes himself online as a holistic teacher and author. He also has what appears to be a self-published book available on Amazon.

On the Cosmo website, he describes himself as self-educated on fitness, nutrition and diet.In a recent video on YouTube, under the account “Convos with Cosmo,” Long, purportedly speaking as Cosmo, discusses oppression, protests and Baton Rouge.

Speaking directly into the camera, Cosmo says protests are a waste of time, that the only thing that oppressors understand is “blood and money.”

leading pro-Clinton super PAC. “Democrats can’t win without winning women, and Republicans can’t win unless they find some way to reduce their disadvantage with women.”

Trump hasn’t found the way to do that, at least so far. His 34% support among women in an ABC News/Washington Post poll released Sunday is a record low — lower than the level of female support on Election Day for any Republican presidential candidate since World War II. It’s even lower than the backing from women that George H.W.

comes the first presidential candidate to face a major-party rival who is female.

Here are some ways his campaign hopes to begin winning women’s support: uCool the rhetoric: The signature bluster that propelled Trump through the Republican primaries — denouncing Mexicans as rapists and murderers, proposing a temporary ban on Muslim immigrants and taunting the appearance of rival Carly Fiorina — has fueled the unease many women feel about the prospect of Trump as president.

Trump has begun to dial down the rhetoric, especially when he reads from prepared texts rather than riffing at rallies. “Look at the statement Mr. Trump put out after the Dallas shootings,” Conway notes. “It was very different in tone and content from what people are accustomed to.”

In somber comments, Trump called the assault that killed five Dallas police officers “an attack on our country,” but he also noted the “senseless, tragic deaths” of black men in recent police shootings in Louisiana and Minnesota.

He offered “my thoughts and prayers for all of the victims’ families.” uFocus on security: Trump, who is seen as a stronger leader than Clinton, hopes to make the case to women that he would be a better choice both to provide economic security at home and protect Americans from the threat of terrorism around the world.

Trump tweaked his now-familiar campaign promise Saturday when he formally announced his running mate, calling Indiana Gov. Mike Pence “my partner in this campaign and in the White

Former Arizona governor, an early supporter of Trump, calls the issue of security “a priority” for women.

House ... to make America safe again and to make America great again.”

Former Arizona governor Jan Brewer, an early supporter of Trump, calls the issue of security “a priority” for women. “That’s something I think will resonate with all women,” she said in an interview. “They want the peace of mind to know that they are secure and that their families are secure.”

She predicts it could offset negative factors. “He’s said a couple of things I was very uncomfortable with,” she said, “but I could overlook it because of the other things he stands for. At least he’s a truth-teller. He’s trying to tell you what he believes in, unlike Hillary Clinton, who can look you in the

face and lie and lie and lie.” uSpotlight his family: Trump’s adult children have emerged as his closest advisers, and aides say the open affection and respect they express toward their father gives voters a more flattering and three-dimensional view of a figure sometimes prone to caricature.

On the convention’s opening night Monday, Trump’s wife, Melania, is scheduled to be among the featured speakers. She is often by her husband’s side but has spoken on only a few occasions. At a rally in Milwaukee this spring, she described Trump as “kind” with a “great heart.” (That said, she also noted, “When you attack him, he will punch back 10 times harder.”)

Ivanka Trump, 34, could be a particularly effective bridge to female voters. She has pushed back against accusations of sexism against her father, saying he has been a pioneer in promoting women in his companies and calling him “a feminist.” She is an executive vice president of the Trump Organization and head of her own brand, and she has a book in the works titled Women Who Work: Rewriting the Rules of Success on how to achieve a worklife balance.

To be sure, the Clinton campaign is trying to make Trump’s outreach to women more difficult. Fifteen minutes after Pence was picked as Trump’s running mate, Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta called the Indiana governor “the most extreme pick in a generation” and someone who had “threatened women’s privacy and limited their choice” by signing one of the nation’s most restrictive antiabortion laws.

Republican pollster Whit Ayres — author of 2016 and Beyond, which in the wake of the party’s defeat in 2012 urged the GOP to focus on appealing to the nation’s increasingly diverse electorate — is skeptical Trump can overcome his provocative statements about women and others.

But the candidate could try to change the subject.

“His better bet is to try to get them to focus on something else,” he said. “Trump’s best argument, with two-thirds of the voters in the country thinking we’re off on the wrong track, is to argue that something needs to change.”

That means continuing one thing Trump has been doing from the start: bashing Clinton.

A century of attacks on police Ryan W. Miller l USA TODAY

A

mid a month of racial conflict and gun violence, at least three police officers were killed in Baton Rouge on Sunday, adding to the tally of law enforcement officials slain in the line of duty in 2016.

Before Sunday’s shooting, 60 line-ofduty deaths had occurred in the USA this year, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.

Twenty-eight of the fatalities were firearm-related, a 56% increase from firearm-related fatalities at this point in 2015.

Ten days before Baton Rouge, five police officers were killed in the greatest loss of life for law enforcers since 9/11.

Though rare, these attacks are not the first time police officers have been targeted. Here is a look at some of the deadliest attacks on law enforcement officers in the past 100 years:

After failed coup, cheers — and fears for democracy

Turkish leader urges celebration Victor Kotsev and John Dyer Special for USA TODAY

Hundreds assembled in the city’s main Taksim Square Sunday night to show their support for President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who urged people to come out and display their loyalty a day after his government thwarted a military coup attempt.

“People from all walks of life are here, and we are happy the coup failed,” said Recep Alpay, 42.

“For one week or 10 days, we’ll be celebrating in the streets.”

Some demonstrators wore baggy pants common during the Ottoman Empire that preceded the Turkish Republic in the 1920s.

Erdoğan has vowed to restore Turkey to the international stature that the empire once enjoyed.

Others donned headbands that were red and white, the colors of the Turkish flag. Young men chanted, “Allahu Akbar” (God is great) in the streets, and buses were filled. The government waived public transportation fares for the day to help people ISTANBUL

travel to assemblies.

“You will fill up the squares. ...

This is not just a 12-hour operation,” Erdoğan said at Istanbul’s Fatih Mosque during a funeral for people killed during the attempted coup, according to The Hurriyet Daily News. The government said nearly 300 were killed during the failed takeover.

In response to the president’s speech, many in the crowd chanted, “We want the death penalty” to execute coup leaders, the newspaper reported. That would require the government to restore capital punishment, which was repealed in 2004 as part of Turkey’s efforts to join the European Union.

Not everyone who came out Sunday supports Erdogan, who is trying to turn Turkey into a more religious state and enhance the powers of his office.

“I am afraid of the mobs on the streets,” said Mustafa Goksul, 21, a student. “I am afraid that Turkey is becoming more Islamic and less democratic than ever.”

Flowers pile up at a makeshift memorial near the Promenade des Anglais in Nice on Sunday, in tribute to the victims of the Bastille Day attack that left 84 dead.

Muslims fear backlash after deadly rampage in Nice Elena Berton

Special for USA TODAY NICE , FRANCE Fatima Charrihi, a Muslim mother of seven, was the first victim to be struck by a truck driver on a murderous rampage through a crowd of Bastille Day revelers Thursday. Several other Muslim residents of this French Riviera tourist spot perished in the attack by Muslim Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, who killed 84 people and injured 200.

Though they suffered losses from the horrific attack, many Muslims fear their entire community will be the target of blame, just as French Muslims were victims of hate crimes after two terror attacks in Paris in January and November 2015.

“Life in Nice won’t be the same again,” said Nora Louzgani, 20, a university student from Morocco who was one of the thousands of celebrants on the waterfront when the truck drove over people for more than a mile before police shot Bouhlel dead.

Louzgani escaped unharmed,

“The attack wasn’t a Muslim act, only the act of an ignorant person who was hiding behind our religion.”

but she said she’s traumatized.

“People are still going to the beach, there are lots of tourists, but that carefree summer mood isn’t there anymore,” she said.

Even as the southern French resort struggled to return to normal, authorities announced Sunday that they detained two more people, an unnamed man and woman, in connection with the attack, bringing to seven the number of suspects in police custody.

Oumaïma Kraimi, 21, another student, said she feared Muslims will be targeted again. “There will be people who will stigmatize us,” she said. “We shouldn’t let these

people debase our image. The attack wasn’t a Muslim act, only the act of an ignorant person who was hiding behind our religion, but who was not a real Muslim.

The Quran tells us that if a man kills another, it’s as if he had killed all of mankind.”

Nice is one of the French cities that has seen the most Muslims become radicalized: more than 100 from the region have left to fight in Syria and Iraq, according to authorities who have monitored 236 individuals in recent months and track five new individuals every week.

Bouhlel, 31, a native of Tunisia who moved here several years ago, had not been under surveillance and may have been radicalized recently.

Otmane Aïssaoui, the imam at the Ar-Rahma Mosque and president of the Union of Muslims of the Alpes-Maritimes, said he hoped France would remain united against terrorism.

“Like the other attacks in 2015, terrorists want to divide our nation, but we need to remain united,” Aïssaoui said.

Call it ‘unconventional’

Melania Trump headlines GOP’s opening night as part of unorthodox lineup of speakers David Jackson @djusatoday USA TODAY

A speech by Melania Trump will highlight the opening night of the Republican convention Monday, a program that may include an appearance from husband and nominee-in-waiting Donald Trump.

Top Trump campaign aide Paul Manafort declined to comment on whether Trump would attend his wife’s speech, saying, “We’ll deal with that tomorrow.”

Saying the party has united behind the maverick businessman, Manafort said, “It’s going to be a solid convention.”

Though Trump and new running mate Mike Pence stayed off the campaign trail Sunday, convention officials put the final touches on the convention hall, the security set-up and the schedule of events.

“I can assure you that the city’s going to be safe,” Republican National Committee Chairman CLEVELAND

Reince Priebus said on Fox News Sunday. “And it’s going to be a lot of fun.”

The program stayed in flux until the very last minute.

A source close to the discussions said Trump is fixated on injecting the program with non-traditional speakers, and a number of planned speeches are being rewritten, which is unusual for what it is normally a highly scripted affair.

Each night of the convention is devoted to a different theme playing off Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan, according to the schedule released: “Make America Safe Again,” “Make America Work Again,” “Make America First Again” and “Make America One Again.”

Speakers over the course of four nights include Trump’s children, House Speaker Paul Ryan and actor Scott Baio — a group the RNC described in a statement as “an unconventional lineup of speakers who have real-world experience and will make a serious case against the status quo and

Donald Trump may make an appearance when his wife, Melania, addresses the convention Monday.

for an agenda that will make America great again.”

Also on the schedule: Former Trump opponents such as Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Marco Rubio of Florida, though Rubio has said he will not attend the convention.

The Democrats have already slotted in speakers for their convention next week. Asked why the GOP held off until the afternoon

before the convention to release its schedule, Priebus told Fox, “It’s not disorganized, I think it’s just different.”

Besides, he said, the most important speech is pre-scheduled: Trump’s nomination acceptance speech Thursday night.

“Thursday night is a really big deal for our party,” Preibus said.

The campaign of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton respon-

ded to the Republican schedule by putting out a fake speaker’s list that included Republicans who will not speak at the convention, having criticized Trump at one point or another. That group includes former Republican president George W. Bush and presidential nominees Mitt Romney and John McCain.

Trump and Pence conducted a joint interview to air Sunday on CBS’ 60 Minutes.

Pence, who has criticized negative campaigning, told CBS that Trump’s efforts are about issues.

“In the essay that I wrote a long time ago, I said campaigns ought to be about something more important than just one candidate’s election,” Pence said.

“And this campaign, and Donald Trump’s candidacy, has been about the issues the American people care about.”

Trump said he and Pence are “different people,” and Trump plans to be more aggressive on the campaign trail.

It’s ‘game time’ for police in Cleveland Trevor Hughes @trevorhughes USA TODAY

Officers from across the USA are on duty to help with crowd control

CLEVELAND Delegates, journalists and protesters pouring in for the Republican National Convention find a city transformed, swarming with police officers and blocked with fencing and road closures designed to keep people away from each other.

Cleveland is now proportionally the most heavily policed city in America. Thousands of cops from across the USA have been sworn in as special officers. They’re there to help protect, and if necessary, detain the tens of thousands of protesters expected to flock to this Midwestern city. Authorities have monitored protest groups for weeks, from the Westboro Baptist Church to white supremacists, anti-Trump groups and Black Lives Matter.

“I don’t think there’s a group out there that we’re concerned about ... but we can’t read people’s minds,” Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams said Sunday morning. “I’m ready to get this started, to be honest. It’s game time, and we’re ready for it.”

As of Sunday at noon, police reported no major incidents, conflicts or arrests.

Williams said he hoped to make it through the convention without arresting anyone, although it’s clear that officers are

prepared for mass detentions, and the municipal court has cleared its docket to handle protest-related cases. The chief wouldn’t say exactly how many officers have converged on Cleveland beyond “hundreds of agencies, thousands of officers.”

Security consultant Sam Rosenfeld, who lives in downtown Cleveland, said he worries the

city is suffering from “well-meaning overconfidence.” Rosenfeld is chairman of the Densus Group, which provides security training and surveillance to corporations and governments. A former British army officer, Rosenfeld said he’s watched preparations.

“What you’re seeing downtown is the increasing realization of what might happen,” he said.

The official protest/rally zones are blocks from Quicken Loans Arena, where the convention begins Monday afternoon. Police officers are quick to chide anyone who is blocking the streets around the center. Police patrol the city on bikes, on foot and horseback, along with patrol cars and utility vehicles.

A major rally took place Saturday afternoon as about 100 people watched members of the New Black Panthers in Perk Plaza. Police officers were absent, other than one marked patrol car idling nearby. Members of the Black Power group have threatened to openly carry rifles around the city, which is legal, although none was on display Saturday. Authorities banned squirt guns and tennis balls over concerns that people could fill them with gasoline, yet guns are permitted under state law.

About 100 people watch Saturday as members of the New Black Panther Party stage a protest near the site of the Republican National Convention.

Choice of Pence gives Clinton greater options She could pick a moderate for ticket Heidi M. Przybyla USA TODAY

Donald Trump’s choice of Mike Pence as his vice presidential running mate may free up Hillary Clinton to put a politician with a more moderate profile — such as Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine — on the Democratic ticket.

Pence is a reassuring pick to the GOP’s religious conservatives, the Tea Party and official Washington. Given his stances on such Democratic priorities as abortion and gay rights, the Indiana governor probably will further motivate liberals to oppose a potential Trump presidency, Democratic strategists say.

That may allow Clinton to worry less about teaming with a liber-

al firebrand in favor of someone with governing experience who appeals to independent voters and more socially liberal Republicans, the strategists say. Kaine is a former governor, lieutenant governor and Richmond mayor.

“Trump is moving to the right, and that leaves a lot of room for Hillary to pick Tim Kaine,” said Joe Trippi, a political consultant who has worked on the presidential campaigns of Howard Dean, Ted Kennedy and others.

Kaine could help Clinton in Virginia, a key swing state where the two took a dry run, campaigning together Thursday.

Another potential pick with a similar profile is Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, a former Iowa governor.

“In a general election campaign, you pick a VP who can expand your support (or fill out a résumé), not narrowly satisfy your base,” Trippi said.

JASON SZENES, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

“In a general election campaign, you pick a VP who can expand your support.”

Joe Trippi, political consultant

In 2016, populist, anti-Washington furor has been a dominant theme for both parties, leading candidates to focus more on base supporters. In Trump’s case, it heavily influenced his pick of a running mate.

That’s a contrast to previous cycles when candidates have tried to strike a more moderate tone as the general election kicks in.

Clinton has been weighing whether she needs someone who would appeal to the backers of her former primary rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders, as she struggles to unite Democrats behind her amid polls showing declining favorability numbers.

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren has proved herself an effective attack dog as she’s sparred with Trump.

Clinton could make her running mate announcement Friday.

Peter Fenn, a Democratic strategist, agreed that the Pence

pick does little to expand Trump’s base beyond white conservatives.

“You wanna go after the suburban and exurban vote, boom, it’s right there,” he said of Clinton.

“If I were Hillary, I’d be breathing a large sigh of relief that there’s not some wild card out there,” Fenn said.

There are other reasons Clinton may feel freer to pick a more conventional running mate.

A recent Pew poll shows 85% of Sanders backers will support Clinton, while just 9% say they’ll back Trump. That’s a faster rallying effect than President Obama saw in 2008 from Clinton supporters after their drawn-out primary.

Kaine was an early Obama supporter in the 2008 election cycle, though as a member of the Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees, he has been critical of President Obama’s policy on Syria.

TAXES TRUMP

Proposes streamlining the seven tax brackets into three, with the top rate falling to 25% from 39.6%. All Americans would pay less in taxes, with the lower-income owing nothing. But highearning households, who tend to spend less of their savings, would derive the biggest benefits, according to the Tax Policy Center.

Itemized deductions would be sharply curtailed.

The corporate tax rate would fall to 15% from 35%. uImpact: The lower rates for both households and companies initially would spur more consumer spending and business investment. And the decline in the corporate rate theoretically should make the U.S. more competitive with other countries, attracting multinationals and creating jobs. Moody’s Analytics estimates the economy would grow 3.7% in 2017 under Trump’s plan, vs. 3% under current law.

But the overhaul would cut federal revenue by $9.5 trillion over 10 years, the TPC estimates.

Trump has said the loss could be offset by closing tax loopholes, increased income in a more vibrant economy and eliminating government waste, fraud and abuse. But both Moody’s and Oxford Economics say the bulk of the gap would have to be financed by more borrowing that swells the deficit.

CLINTON

Calls for raising taxes on highincome households, with nearly all of the increases borne by the top 1%, TPC estimates.

Clinton hasn’t yet echoed President Obama’s call to trim the corporate tax rate to 28%. uImpact: The tax proposals would increase federal revenue by $1.1 trillion over the next decade, the TPC says. The windfall would be spent on initiatives such as paid family leave, education and economic development.

Moody’s chief economist Mark Zandi says the tax plan largely would be neutral for the economy.

TRADE

Paul Davidson l @Pdavidsonusat l USA TODAY

CANDIDATES DIFFER SHARPLY ON ECONOMY The Republican and Democratic conventions the next two weeks are likely to highlight the sharply divergent economic visions of presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton and prompt closer scrutiny of their plans.

At the Republican gathering in Cleveland this week, Trump is expected to lay out his swashbuckling blueprint for shaking up the status quo. The real estate mogul has advocated slashing both personal and business taxes, including for the wealthy, aggressively confronting China on trade, and repealing much of the Dodd-Frank financial reform law. Clinton is largely proposing to maintain and tweak the Obama administration’s policies by raising taxes on the wealthy, investing in infrastructure, lifting the minimum wage and toughening financial reform. Here’s a breakdown: China a currency manipulator because of its past efforts to push down the value of the yuan, bolstering its exports at the expense of U.S. shipments to China. He has threatened to slap a 45% tariff on Chinese imports and a 35% tariff on Mexican imports. He opposes the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal with Pacific Rim countries, which Congress has not ratified. uImpact: Such hefty duties would almost certainly trigger retaliation from China and Mexico, crimping exports to those countries and hurting U.S. economic growth, Zandi says. Trump has said he’s aiming to bring thousands of manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. from China. But Zandi says it’s unlikely companies will take such a step given the uncertainty of how long the tariffs would remain in place. And Oxford economist Gregory Daco says U.S. companies doing business in China would be unlikely to quickly shift to the U.S., where they’ll have to pay significantly higher wages. Also, large tariffs would increase U.S. consumer prices by 3% within 18 months, Zandi says.

CLINTON

Says she wants to crack down on Chinese currency manipulation, and her website says she’ll Is taking a bare“stand up to Chinese abuses.” She knuckled approach to the nation’s massive trade deficit has not been specific but says with China. He wants to declare she’ll triple the number of trade TRUMP

enforcement officers. She initially supported the Trans-Pacific trade deal but reversed herself during her campaign against Bernie Sanders. uImpact: Would largely retain President Obama’s open trade policies that have supported U.S. exports, Zandi says.

MINIMUM WAGE TRUMP

Initially said he opposes a hike in the $7.25-an-hour federal minimum wage. Months later, he said he supports a higher pay floor for American workers but would prefer to leave it to the states. uImpact: Little or none, as he largely would maintain the status quo.

CLINTON

Supports a boost in the federal minimum wage to $12 an hour.

Also says she’ll encourage states and localities to go further. uImpact: A Congressional Budget Office study in early 2014 found that increasing the federal minimum to $10.10 an hour within two years would lift 900,000 people out of poverty but result in 500,000 fewer jobs. Daco, however, says that if the increase is implemented gradually, it would just modestly temper hiring while boosting consumer spending.

INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT TRUMP

Doesn’t have a specific proposal but says he has discussed a “trillion-dollar rebuilding plan” to revamp the nation’s crumbling highways, bridges, airports and waterways, according to New York magazine. uImpact: Trump says the initiative would create 13 million jobs. Each dollar invested in infrastructure bolsters productivity and increases gross domestic product by about $1.23 a year later, Moody’s says. The question is how Trump would pay for the program while cutting more than $9 trillion in tax revenue.

CLINTON

Wants to spend $275 billion over the next five years and create a $25 billion infrastructure bank to support projects. Would fund the plan by closing corporate tax loopholes. uImpact: It would increase economic growth by 0.3 percentage points the first year, Daco says.

DODD-FRANK FINANCIAL REFORM TRUMP

Says he would dismantle most of the 2010 law passed in the wake of the financial crisis. It created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and requires large banks to keep more capital buffers, among other things. He has said it has restricted bank lending. uImpact: Modification of targeted provisions in the law could bolster economic growth, Daco says. But a wholesale repeal would wreak havoc for banks, which have spent millions to implement it, Zandi says.

CLINTON

Would defend the law and expand it by imposing a “risk fee” on the largest banks, toughen a rule that bars them from making risky trades with their own accounts and tax high-frequency trading. uImpact: Additional constraints on financial firms could have a small negative effect on the economy, Daco says, while reducing the odds of another crisis.

Pokémon merchandise suddenly flying off the shelves Alexandra Mosher and Chris Woodyard @ChrisWoodyard USA TODAY

As millions of Pokémon Go fans take to the streets to play the summer’s hit smartphone game, others are hitting their keyboards or stores to buy suddenly-hot Pokémon merchandise.

From stuffed Pikachu toys to vintage video games, the Go craze will likely lead to a licensing fee windfall for part-owner Nintendo and others who can cash in on the revived interest in the Japanese animated characters.

Kyoto-based Nintendo is a major beneficiary. It’s part owner of Niantic Labs, the developer behind the augmented reality mobile game, and also owns about a third of Pokémon Co., which controls the merchandising of the colorful monsters.

“Over the years, Pokémon has either been a saving grace or the footnote to Nintendo sales,” Masolova says. The licensor is Pokémon Co. International, composed of Nintendo, developer Game Freak and another company called Creatures, Masolova says.

Pokémon Go, which leads players into the streets to try to catch characters that show up on the

screen in the player’s actual surroundings, is credited with forcing gamers to exercise and discover new locales in their city.

But the trekking has also been accompanied by news reports of some who were robbed, shot at, or accidentally plunged off a seaside cliff while playing the game.

Those risks have done little to slow demand. Online polling company SurveyMonkey estimates just under 26 million Americans played in just one day last week. Even before its launch in Europe this weekend, it had been downloaded more than 20 million times, according to researcher Sensor Tower.

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

Hillary Clinton visits Late Night With Seth Meyers in December.

Patrick Ryan @patryanwrites USA TODAY

There’s a good reason why latenight shows are going all-out for the Republican and Democratic national conventions.

“We’re very excited, and it’s going to be a lot of fun,” says Bill Maher, host of HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher. “I’ve never seen any election like this, ever, and I don’t think anybody has. What a choice: between a hysterical woman — and Hillary Clinton.”

During the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, which starts Monday, and Philadelphia’s Democratic National Convention next week, Maher and fellow late-night hosts Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, John Oliver and Trevor Noah will be expanding their political coverage. Real Time will air four halfhour live episodes Wednesdays and Thursdays (11 ET/delayed PT), in addition to its usual hourlong live Friday show (10 ET/delayed PT).

The format, he says, will be similar: airing from Los Angeles with a studio audience and panel discussions. With Donald Trump, whom Maher relentlessly mocks, expected to accept the Republican nomination, “I just thought, ‘Wow, people are going to be tuning in in droves just like they did for the Republican debates,’ ” Maher says. “There’s probably too much news to try to fit in just one show on Friday night.”

That’s also what Meyers, host of NBC’s Late Night, is thinking:

COLBERT BY TIMOTHY KURATEK, CBS; OLIVER

BY ERIC LIEBOWITZ, HBO; NOAH BY BRAD BARKET; MAHER BY JANET VAN HAM; MEYERS BY PETER KRAMER, GETTY IMAGES JON PACK, NBC

He’s adding a live show Thursday (12:35 a.m. ET/delayed PT) after the final session of the GOP convention. The special won’t include on-the-ground coverage from Cleveland but will feature comedic commentary from Ghostbusters’ Leslie Jones and a variation on Meyers’ “A Closer Look” segments, in which he breaks down various topics.

The quick turnaround will be a familiar effort for the Saturday Night Live alum, who hopes to do another live show for the DNC. Meyers, a Trump detractor who has been softer on Clinton, says he and his writers “don’t hide from having a point of view” but will continue striving to “(lay) out facts as much as possible.”

As for what he hopes to cover out of the RNC, “the stories will hopefully reveal themselves,” Meyers says. “We all have high expectations that this will be a unique convention compared to past ones.”

Colbert’s Late Show will air live shows from New York Monday through Thursday both weeks (CBS, 11:35 ET/delayed PT), including guests Jon Stewart, Elizabeth Warren and Oliver (whose own Last Week Tonight returns to HBO July 24 with commentary about the conventions).

But the biggest late-night effort will come from Comedy Central’s The Daily Show With Trevor Noah, which will tape episodes from Cleveland and Philadelphia Tuesdays through Fridays, as Stewart did during his 16-year tenure, with clip-based specials airing Mondays (11 ET/PT).

In Cleveland, “we’re going to be talking to the delegates, try and find a lot of those ‘Never Trumpers,’ and make (segments) with them,” Noah says.

“We don’t know what the restrictions will be because of riots and so on, but all we know is that we’re going to be in the thick of it.”

‘Pets’ digs in to hold off ‘Ghostbusters’ ‘Tarzan’ is still swinging; ‘Dory’ swims to history Brian Truitt @briantruitt USA TODAY

The new Ghostbusters took care of ectoplasmic enemies but couldn’t hold off a kid-friendly bunch of dogs, cats and rabbits.

The animated hit The Secret Life of Pets clamped tight for a second consecutive No. 1 finish at the box office with $50.6 million for the weekend, running its 10day total to $203.2 million. It was enough to outdo director Paul Feig’s high-profile Ghostbusters reboot, which made its debut with $46 million, according to studio estimates from comScore.

Everything continues to come

ILLUMINATION ENTERTAINMENT/UNIVERSAL PICTURES

Fat cat Chloe (voiced by Lake Bell) and terrier Max (Louis C.K.) continue to charm in The Secret Life of Pets.

together for the critter-laden cartoon, says Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for comScore. “Anyone who has a dog or a cat or a pet can relate to it, and

it’s just a really fun movie.”

Ghostbusters, though, has been weathering Internet backlash for updating the 1984 classic, and some bloggers and fanboys took offense to the reboot becoming a female-centric affair starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon.

While reviews were mixed, they skewed positive — Ghostbusters has a 73% “fresh” rating on aggregate site RottenTomatoes.com — and audiences gave it a B-plus at CinemaScore.

Overall, Dergarabedian counts it as a “solid” opening for one of the year’s more controversial films. “At least people are talking about the movies, and sometimes that’s a victory in itself.”

The ghost-filled comedy took the lead Friday, but Pets came on strong Saturday — usually a “huge” day for family outings in theaters, Dergarabedian says.

The Legend of Tarzan con-

tinued its swing through cinemas, coming in third with $11.1 million and scooting past the $100 million mark domestically.

Finding Dory was fourth with $11 million. More impressive for the Pixar fish tale: The sequel’s $445.5 million haul makes it the highest-grossing animated film ever, surpassing Shrek 2’s $436.7 million.

The bawdy comedy Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates rounded out the top five with $7.5 million.

In limited release, director Woody Allen’s new comedy Café Society had an impressive outing, scoring $355,000 in five theaters.

Dergarabedian says it’s a big number for the 1930s period film with Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart and Blake Lively. “They were filling theaters,” he says.

“The Woodman’s still a draw.”

Final figures are expected Monday.

Jayhawks set to face Big 12 media

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Transformed

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Dallas — Some of the top athletes and coaches in the Big 12 Conference will invade the heart of Big 12 country today and Tuesday for the annual and unofficial start of the college football season known as Big 12 media days.

No, preseason camps do not begin this week, or even next, but the prodding, poking and prognosticating does.

At the Omni Hotel in downtown Dallas, five Big Beaty 12 teams — including Kansas — will get their shot in the spotlight today and the other five will take center stage on Tuesday.

Media members from all across the Big 12 map will fire their best questions at the coach and player reps for each team, searching, of course, for those stories and statements that provide a good look at the season ahead.

Fresh off of their 0-12 season, the first winless run in Big 12 football history and just the second in KU history, the Jayhawks will be represented by second-year head coach David Beaty, senior safety Fish Smithson, junior quarterback Montell Cozart and junior linebacker Joe Dineen.

If history tells us anything, it’s a safe bet that the Jayhawks won’t have to deal with hordes of reporters crowding around their tables during the breakout sessions this afternoon. That’s not to say people don’t or won’t care.

More that, in a room that includes schools like TCU, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech, programs in the position of Kansas and Iowa State don’t exactly draw top billing.

Having said that, KU has performed — if that’s what you want to call it — fairly Please see FOOTBALL, page 2C

Lufkin, an East Texas town of 35,000 hit hard by the job reductions in the oil industry, still brings spirited passion for its main attraction.

“People call it a small town,” Lufkin native and Kansas University defensive tackle D.J. Williams said. “It’s really a big town. It’s really big on football. Football is everything in Lufkin. That’s all it is. It’s packed every Friday night. Win, lose or draw, it’s always packed.”

Jackson, who named Williams the program’s Workout Warrior of the Week, said that the summer between a second and third full year in a program is when it clicks for many athletes, but going from the back of the line to the front is what has made Williams special.

CYCLISTS IN THE MEN’S PRO 1/2 COMPETE during the Pro races of the Tour of Lawrence Downtown Criterium race Sunday.

Joseph Schmalz finished his weekend at the eighthannual Tour of Lawrence by slapping hands with spectators as he cruised toward the finish line on Sunday.

The hometown cyclist had plenty of reasons to celebrate.

One day after winning Haskell’s campus criterium, Schmalz swept the weekend by winning the Free State Brewery Downtown Criterium among

men’s professional racers.

Jennifer Sharp, of Boulder, Colo., completed the same feat in the women’s pro races.

It was the first time Schmalz, a 2008 graduate from Free State High, won the downtown criterium.

“I’ve always been second or third,” Schmalz said. “I’ve never been able to win it. It was good to finally get the win down here.”

Schmalz won in dominant fashion. In the first third of the race, Schmalz and five other cyclists — including two of his Elevate Pro Cy-

Loudon, N.H. — Matt Kenseth pulled away down the stretch to win the Sprint Cup race Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Kenseth also won the New Hampshire race last September.

He has 38 career victories.

Tony Stewart finished second and strengthened his spot inside the top 30 in the points standings. Stewart has a win this season and needs to secure a spot in the top 30 in points to clinch a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. He entered the race in 30th.

PHIL MICKELSON PLAYS A SHOT FROM THE first fairway during the fourth round of the British Open on Sunday in Troon, Scotland. final round of a major. Usually, that’s good enough to do it, and I got beat. I got beat by 10 birdies.”

He got beat by arguably the best final round in 156 years of major championships.

Miller also made 10 birdies in his final round of the 1973 U.S. Open, and then waited to see if anyone could catch him. Stenson started the final round with a one-shot lead over Mickelson, and knew it would be a two-man race from the opening hole when Mickelson nearly holed out from the fairway.

He answered each great shot with one of his own, finally pulling away with birdies on the 14th and 15th holes, and then a third in a row after Mickelson drilled a 3-wood onto the green at the par-5 16th and came within a fraction of an inch of making an eagle.

The last birdie was for the record book.

Stenson finished at 264, breaking by one shot the 72hole scoring record in the majors that David Toms set in the 2001 PGA Championship at Atlanta Athletic Club. His 20-under par matched Jason Day’s record for lowest under par at last year’s PGA Championship.

His biggest challenge was 46-year-old Mickelson, who has won five majors.

“I knew he wasn’t going to back down at any point, and in a way that makes it easier for myself,” Stenson said. “I knew I had to keep on pushing, keep on giving myself birdie chances. He wasn’t going to give it to me, so I had to pull away. I’m just delighted I managed to do that with a couple of birdies at the right time.”

This was heavyweight material, reminiscent of the “Duel in the Sun” just down the Ayrshire coastline at Turnberry in 1977, when Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus battled to the final hole, and no one else was closer than 10 shots.

Stenson and Mickelson were never separated by more than two shots over 40 straight holes until the Swede’s final birdie. In the final round, they combined to make 14 birdies and an eagle.

If this was a better-ball match, they would have shot 59.

J.B. Holmes won the B-Flight.

He finished third, 14 shots behind.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland tied for 12th. He shot a final-round 70 and finished at 1-under 283, 19 strokes back.

and his players will talk more about the progress they’ve made in the past 12 months than anything else.

With that in mind, here’s a quick look at a few other topics that figure to dominate Big 12 media day headlines this week: n Expansion — This topic may never go away, even if the Big 12 does expand at some point.

Commissioner Bob Bowlsby and the board of directors are expected to meet on Tuesday and expansion figures to be among the topics discussed. A news conference is set for 30 minutes after the meeting ends, so that’s when we’ll know if anything of any significance went down behind closed doors.

Bowlsby also will kick off this week’s festivities with his opening remarks this morning. n Baylor — With all of the offseason fireworks leading to

the departure of head coach Art Briles and athletic director Ian McCaw, the media figure to be more than a little interested to see what the Bears look and sound like under new head coach Jim Grobe and the off-the-field rebuilding project that may be more difficult to navigate than any on-the-field endeavors. n Iowa State — First-year coach Matt Campbell, hired from Toledo to replace the fired Paul Rhoads, will get his first taste of the Big 12 spotlight. Although the Cyclones will be going through a transition period, Campbell’s roster features some exciting players, including preseason first-team all-Big 12 running back Mike Warren and wide receiver Allen Lazard.

total 180 from last year, oh my gosh, it’s been incredible,” Jackson said.

“This is 17 years for me being a Division I coach and I have not seen a transformation like D.J. in that amount of time.”

Williams, who stands 6-foot-5, said his weight has grown from 265 pounds when he stepped foot on campus two summers ago to 306 now.

“And now I move much better and I’m not slouchy and tired and my back’s not hurting, things like that,” Williams said.

“I came a long ways.

When I first got here, I wasn’t hard-working like I am now. My high school coaches did a good job of preparing me, I just wasn’t big on the weight room in high school. I was one of those when I’d get on the field I’d make things happen kind of guys.”

Williams said he is able to squat 490 pounds now, compared to 275 pounds when he arrived. If Williams can approach the extent of the forward leap he has made in the weight room on the field, the defensive line shapes up as the team’s best unit. Sophomore Dorance Armstrong, an undersized defensive end as a true freshman and still able to show serious talent in flashes, has grown to 241 pounds. Seniors Anthony Olobia and Damani Mosby compete for time at the other defensive end and red-shirt sophomore Daniel Wise, the first Workout War-

by Jackson, is one of the more promising players on the defense.

“Sometimes we don’t realize that as coaches this kid has only been here a short amount of time,” Jackson said. “He still has three seasons to play, which is incredible. It’s unbelievably exciting to have him and Daniel Wise having that much time left to play.

I’m so looking forward to watching these two guys play.”

Wise appears to have rubbed off on Williams.

“Daniel’s always been a hard worker. He’s always been the motivator,” Williams said. “Even when you don’t want to do things he’s always like, ‘Come on, man, let’s go.

Let’s do it.’ He’s always energetic, always happy.

He never has a bad day.

That’s someone who can keep motivating you to keep getting better.”

Williams and several teammates have referenced the sting of last season’s 0-12 record as a motivator.

“Instead of everybody

getting in fights and things like that, we’re all coming together and working hard,” Williams said. “At the end of the day, it’s always going to be about work because you don’t want to see that zero and then that 12.

You want to see that 12 and then the zero. That’s keeping everybody going.

We don’t want to lose so we make it ‘Keep fighting.

Keep fighting. It’s going to be worth it.’”

Jackson said he is not surprised that a football program as prestigious as Oklahoma recruited Williams.

“The dude’s 6-foot-5, 305 pounds and can really run,” Jackson said. “He’s just freakish athletically.

He can jump. He can run, change direction, bend his knees. Now he’s finally getting to where he’s strong.”

Williams gave credit to Rob Ianello, wide receivers coach/recruiting coordinator under Charlie Weis, for convincing him Kansas was the right place for him.

“He kept calling me, showing a lot of interest

Sharp, who was competing in the Tour of Lawrence for the first time this weekend, sprinted ahead of the main pack in the final laps and held her ground for her second win in as many days.

She said the biggest key was conserving more energy than she did in Saturday’s race on Haskell’s campus because of the heat.

“It couldn’t have gone better, really,” Sharp said.

“It’s super awesome. The town of Lawrence has been amazing and the race organizers who have put everything on. Like I’m looking forward to next year already.”
