KU grad injured in France terror attack By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

Left Behind Act in December. Changes to the law — made under the Every Student Succeeds Act — gave more authority to states and local school boards, including how state assessments are administered and their results used.

A Kansas University graduate is recovering in a hospital in Nice, France, after being injured in the terrorist attack that killed 84 people last week. Greg Krentzman, who was visiting the city with his wife and daughter, was struck by a cargo truck as its driver plowed through a crowd of thousands gathered to celebrate Bastille Day on July 14. Krentzman said he was standing several feet from his family to take a photograph, and it was his My wife wife, Sophie, screamed who saw the truck com- out, ‘Greg, ing. look out, “My wife there’s a screamed out, ‘Greg, truck.’ … I look out, don’t know there’s a exactly how t r u c k , ’ ” far in front Krentzman said. “… I of me it was, don’t know but I would exactly how say about 15 far in front of me it was, to 20 feet, but I would and it was say about 15 going fast.” to 20 feet, and it was — Greg Krentzman, going fast.” As part of survivor of the the Bastille terror attack in Day celebra- Nice, France tion, a main avenue that runs along the beach had been blocked off so people could gather for a fireworks show. Krentzman said the show had ended shortly before the driver of the truck began his attack. Multiple media outlets reported that the truck traveled through the crowd at high speeds for more than a mile before the driver was shot and killed by police. The driver, Krentzman said, was swerving back and forth through the crowd. In addition to the 84 people who were killed, more than 250 others were injured. Because of the driver’s erratic path, Krentzman said it was hard to tell which way to jump as he saw the truck approaching him. “I had a decision to make: Should I jump to the right or should I jump to the left?” Krentzman said. “Because the truck was coming toward me, and he was obviously swerving to do as much damage as possible, to hit as many people as possible.”

City auditor cites ‘gaps’ in incentive procedures By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

City staff defended its procedures for economic development incentives Tuesday after a presentation by the city auditor that cited “gaps.” City Auditor Michael Eglinski listed to the Lawrence City Commission 14 recommen-

dations to better the process, including scrutinizing business-provided data. He also recommended that the city more logically set application fees and gather the same information from every company seeking incentives, among other things. City officials responded that some of the recommendations

would be too time-consuming and resource-intensive to implement. Assistant City Manager Diane Stoddard said some of the extra analysis necessary to follow through on the recommendations would involve more time, money and external resources. She said that’s justified when the city

is lending up-front funds to businesses. With pay-as-yougo programs, in which businesses receive incentives after they’ve followed through on stipulations such as providing so many jobs, the costs of extra resources outweigh the risks, she explained. Please see INCENTIVE, page 2A

Incentive CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

One recommendation was to have city officials communicate more about the risks associated with incentives before commissioners choose whether to incentivize a project. Eglinski used the HERE Kansas apartment and retail development as an example. He noted the development group contracted with a robotic parking company that filed for bankruptcy before completing the job. Since last fall, the City Commission has held several meetings about the issue, hearing from residents with concerns about how the loss of parking spaces would affect the rest of the Oread neighborhood. “Right now you have been dealing with the parking at the HERE project. That’s not financial risk, but you guys are having to deal with it, and it’s causing difficulty and concern,” Eglinski said. “So there’s a risk there.” Mayor Mike Amyx responded: “So why weren’t you down here telling us about that while we were dealing with it?” Eglinski replied that the city needed to “develop a process so we look at this systematically.”

State assessments are given in English, math and science to students in grades 3-8 and 10-11 over multiple class periods. The maximum amount of time students spent taking tests for the 2015-2016 school year is estimated to be 14 hours, according to KSDE. With the 60 percent reduc-

tion in material, the maximum time students spend taking tests is expected to fall to about six hours. Because the tests have no specific time limits, the number of hours students in Lawrence spend taking state assessments will vary school by school, according to Terry McEwen, the district’s director of assessments, research and instructional resources. Though with 60 percent fewer test questions, time spent on the test by stu-

dents is likely to decrease by a similar amount, McEwen said. Kimball said she thinks that state and district staff both believe that reducing state testing will benefit teachers and students. “We can get quality information about where our students are — what they’ve mastered and what they haven’t — with less testing,” Kimball said. “I think that’s a win-win for everybody. By reducing the amount of time our stu-

dents are spending, I think that will actually improve test performance, because we have more instruction time to cover the materials and the skills that we need our students to know and to master.” KSDE plans to provide additional information on changes to state assessments after school starts in August.

Britt Crum-Cano, the city’s economic development director, said there’s “no way” she could list “every potential risk” for every project. “I can’t stand here in front of you guys and project two years down the road that some business is going to go out of business, that some contractor is going to go out of business. There’s just no way,” she said. “I don’t have a crystal ball. I can list risks that could potentially happen, but I think that would inundate you with too much noise.” Crum-Cano went on to say that the city’s current process includes “extensive due diligence” before an incentive request is presented to commissioners. In his report, Eglinski also noted a history of the city not collecting some economic developmentrelated payments on deadline. He said in the report approximately $450,000 in special assessments for property at East Hills Business Park was due in May 2014 from Douglas County, but was never received. In August 2015, the City Commission waived $45,000 of the special assessments. Eglinski said commissioners needed to be presented with options on collecting the rest of the payment, deferring or waiving it. Amyx dismissed it as

an issue of getting the decision in front of the commission. Stoddard reported that the county would come before commissioners in the next couple of months to ask that the assessment either be waived or continue to be deferred. “There was no risk to the city of either not collecting these payments or forgetting about these payments,” Stoddard said. “Staff and the county has been in regular discussions about that dating back to 2014. It was the intention of both parties to handle this issue. It’s important to note that the county isn’t waiting to hand a $400,000 check to the city, that they’re likely to request continued deferral and/or waiver.” The audit report came at a time the City Commission is considering eliminating the position of city auditor for budgetary reasons. Earlier on Tuesday, commissioners set a maximum budget for 2017, which included a 0.5-mill increase to the property tax levy, in part to fund Eglinski’s position. Commissioners still have time to go back and reduce the maximum budget — and to cut the position, if they so choose — before passing a budget in August. Commissioner Lisa Larsen said if the auditor

position makes the cut, she’d like commissioners to review Eglinski’s work to ensure he’s meeting job requirements. “I think it is also a good time to look at whether the job duties are really being completed to the degree we need for them to be completed, as well as the quantity,” Larsen said. “We need to pay closer attention to that and come up with better guidelines for what we want him to do if this position stays with us. If — that’s an if.” Before Tuesday, several people spoke to, or wrote to, commissioners, criticizing City Manager Tom Markus’ proposal to eliminate the position. A few said they didn’t think Markus had the authority to suggest the cut, as the city auditor reports only to the City Commission. City Attorney Toni Wheeler said Tuesday “in my opinion, it is not inappropriate for the city manager to include in his recommended budget the elimination of the position.” “The city auditor does not have express authority to oversee the city manager,” she said. Lawrence resident Janet Gerstner spoke Tuesday, saying there was “tension” and “defensiveness” on behalf of the commission and city staff.

“I see it as, we have modities in USA Today. these audits because it’s all done in the spirit of inquiry, and we want to keep seeing how we’re BIRTHS doing,” she said. “We Ashley Burns and Lewis want to keep the door Gillaspie, Lawrence, a boy, open to improve.”

Plans for crisis center shared

Bioscience merger gets OK Sale of assets, portfolio is planned

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

The Douglas County Commission was presented Wednesday with conceptual plans for a mental health crisis intervention center, which were significantly influenced by two public design workshops earlier this year. Representatives from Treanor Architects shared the conceptual plans with commissioners at a work session devoted to the crisis intervention center. The county hired Treanor in January to design the center, which is part of the County Commission’s reforms of the county’s criminal justice system with the renovation and expansion of the Douglas County Jail and creation of a mental health court. The jail expansion and the crisis intervention center would require county voters to approve additional property taxes, sales taxes or both to be used for their construction and operation. The County Commission’s goal is to put a referendum for those purposes before voters in 2017. After being awarded the design contract, Treanor followed up with two “charrettes” in February,

Topeka — Gov. Sam Brownback and legislative leaders Wednesday authorized the Kansas Bioscience Authority to merge with the Department of Commerce, setting up a planned sale of KBA’s assets and portfolio. Such a sale would bring to an end the state’s 12year experiment in operating a quasi-public venture capital operation that many people credit with helping the state land the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility, and helping the University of Kansas Hospital earn its status as a National Cancer Institute. “I think it’s been tremendously important,” said House Democratic Leader Tom Burroughs, of Kansas City. “Not only that, the reputation it’s brought to the Kansas City corridor, in reference to the relationships with the universities, the NCI designation for KU Hospital, the Research Triangle that was developed in Fairway that involved KU.” The governor and legislative leaders met as the State Finance Council, a group authorized to make certain financial decisions on behalf of the state when the Legislature is not in session. Brownback participated by telephone because he is attending the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.

Dog may not be culprit for boyfriend’s allergies Dear Annie: My boyfriend and I recently moved in together. We were spending so many nights at each other’s place that we decided it just made sense. We both gave up our studio apartments for a cute little house. It even has a yard, albeit a tiny one, which is great for my golden retriever. That brings me to the reason I’m writing in: My boyfriend seems to be severely allergic to the dog. I’m stumped. I’ve had her for years, and in all the time my boyfriend spent at my old apartment, this was never a problem. I used to take her over to his place, too. We’ve lived at the new house for three months, and he’s had a stuffy nose the entire time. His eyes get itchy and watery, too.

Comic-Con coverage on Syfy Convention coverage is no longer limited to political parties. “Syfy Presents Live From Comic-Con” (7 p.m.) will be hosted by Will Arnett over the next three nights. “Live” will offer coverage and commentary of the annual gathering in San Diego, meeting with fans, offering glimpses at the parties and interviewing stars from the entertainment franchises being promoted. San Diego’s Comic-Con International began in 1970 as a local comic book convention. Over the decades it has turned into a celebration of a wide spectrum of entertainment genres including horror, animation, anime, manga, toys, collectible card games, video games, webcomics and fantasy novels. I’m sure I’m leaving something out. More recently it has been the perfect place to promote new movies and series based on these genres and to gauge fan enthusiasm, or its absence. Once seen as the province of geeks, nerds and super-fans, Comic-Con culture has come to comprise an ever-growing percentage of the entertainment business. Of the 10 top-grossing films of 2015, only “American Sniper” would be considered outside of the typical movies promoted at Comic-Con. A generation ago, in 1986, only two of that year’s top 10 films, “Star Trek IV” and “Aliens,” were Comic-Con material. That also happens to be the year that William Shatner appeared in a famous sketch on “Saturday Night Live” in which he told attendees of a fictional Trekkie convention to “get a life!” Shatner’s epic rant, written by Judd Apatow and Bob Odenkirk, continued, “I mean, for crying out loud, it’s just a TV show! I mean, look at you, look at the way you’re dressed! You’ve turned an enjoyable little job that I did as a lark for a few years into a COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME!” That sketch seemed to sum up some people’s dismissive attitude toward San Diego Comic-Con and other similar conventions. But over the past 30 years, fan culture has only become more prominent.

Arts funding The governor’s decisions on state funding for the arts are resulting in the loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars in support for arts projects across the state.

f Lawrence arts supporters are unsuccessful in gaining continued city support for various arts efforts, it seems there will be no point in them looking to the state for assistance. Recent news reports indicate that Kansas will lose about $800,000 in arts funding because state funding for the arts has dropped so low that major funding entities no longer are willing to provide matching funds. In 2011, Gov. Sam Brownback defunded the Kansas Arts Commission, which had been the key agent for distributing state funds, as well as regional and federal matching money, to artists and arts groups across the state. In its place, he created the private Kansas Creative Arts Industries Commission and charged that group with raising private money to replace the lost state revenue. The KCAIC has never raised enough money to replace the state funding. Now, both the Mid-America Arts Alliance and the National Endowment for the Arts have said that Kansas isn’t eligible for grants from their organizations because the state’s investment in the arts doesn’t meet their minimum requirements. According to the Wichita Eagle, the state allocated just $191,000 to the arts in this fiscal year. That’s $250,000 short of the minimum contribution required for NEA matching funds, costing the state about $400,000. Because meeting the NEA minimum is a requirement to receive funding from the Mid-America Arts Alliance, the state’s membership in that group also was suspended earlier this month. The alliance provided about $370,000 in programs and services throughout the state last fiscal year; that money will not be available this year. Like other Brownback promises, the pledge to maintain support to arts groups around the state through private donations has not been fulfilled. A reasonable person would look at the situation and reconsider the decision that created it. Unfortunately, Brownback’s office has indicated it plans to stay the course even in the face of huge funding losses for arts in the state of Kansas. The situation is unlikely to change, at least under this administration. And, like the victims of many other Brownback policies, the arts likely will take decades to recover if and when saner policies are put in place.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for July 21, 1916: “In a bold daylight holdup, robbers took about $1500 from the years Linwood State Bank at 2:30 this ago afternoon, and made their escape IN 1916 in two automobiles. When last heard from, they were three miles north of Linwood, speeding west. The daring exploit was staged by four men and one woman. T. W. Martin, cashier, and his son, Murray, were in the bank when three men drove up to the curb in a Knox car. … Seizing the two men in the bank the robbers ordered Mr. Martin to go to the safe and get them some money. Mr. Martin did so. The robbers then forced Mr. Martin and his son into the vault and tried to lock them in, but they could not work the lock. Rushing out, they got into the car and drove quickly away.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

Texas may be losing battle for GOP Washington — Political conventions are echo chambers designed to generate feelings of invincibility, sending forth the party faithful with a spring in their steps and hope in their hearts. Who would want to be a wet blanket at such moveable feasts? Steve Munisteri would. Although he calls himself “the eternal optimist,” he respects reality, which nowadays is not conducive to conservatives’ cheerfulness. He served as chairman of the Texas Republican Party from 2010 to 2015 because he discerned “a seismic shift in demographics” that meant his state could “turn Democratic sooner than most people thought.” The fact that Republicans have won every Texas statewide office since 1994 — the longest such streak in the nation — gives them, he says, “a false sense of security.” In 2000, Republican candidates at the top of the ticket — in statewide races — averaged about 60 percent of the vote. By 2008, they averaged less than 53 percent. And Republican down-ballot winners averaged slightly over 51 percent. Texas is not wide open spaces filled with cattle and cotton fields. Actually, it is 84.7 percent urban, making it the 15th most urban state. It has four of the nation’s 11 largest cities — Houston, San Antonio, Dallas and Austin. Texas’ growth is in its cities, where Republicans are doing worst. Dallas has gone from

“

It has four of the nation’s 11 largest cities — Houston, San Antonio, Dallas and Austin. Texas’ growth is in its cities, where Republicans are doing worst.” solidly Republican to solidly Democratic. A recent poll showed Harris County (Houston), which is 69 percent minority, with a majority identifying as Democrats. The San Antonio metropolitan area is about three-quarters minority. Travis County (Austin, seat of the state government, the flagship state university and a burgeoning tech economy attracting young people) voted 60.1 percent for Barack Obama in 2012. Asian-Americans, Texas’ fastest-growing minority by percentage, were 3 percent of Texans in 2000 and 4.3 percent in 2010. They are projected to be more than 8 percent in 2040. In the 2014 gubernatorial election, Hispanics were 25 percent of Texas’ registered voters but only 19 percent

of turnout. Two years later, Hispanics are 29 percent of registered voters. Now, suppose the person at the top of a Republican national ticket gives Hispanics the motivation to be, say, 25 percent of turnout. Although it is, Munisteri says, “theoretically possible” for Texas Republicans to win by increasing the white vote, this “political segregation” is, aside from being morally repulsive, politically “a sure-fire longterm losing proposition.” The “blue wall” — the 18 states and the District of Columbia that have voted Democratic in at least six consecutive presidential elections — today has 242 electoral votes. Texas, which is not a brick in this wall, has 38 electoral votes. After the 2020 census, it probably will have 40, perhaps 41. Were Texas to become another blue brick, the wall — even if the 2020 census subtracts a few electoral votes from the current 18 states — would have more than the 270 votes needed to elect a president. Since 1994, when it passed New York (which has now sunk below Florida to fourth place), Texas has been the nation’s second most populous state. Munisteri notes that it is the Republican Party’s only large “anchor state.” The Democratic Party has two — California and New York, with a combined 84 electoral votes. Or three, if you count Illinois (20 electoral votes), which in the last four presidential elections has voted Democratic

by an average of slightly more than 16 points. Munisteri’s conservative credentials are unassailable. He was a precociously conservative teenager — a member of Young Americans for Freedom in high school in 1976 — when Ronald Reagan was trying to wrest the Republican nomination from President Gerald Ford. Munisteri, now working with the Republican National Committee, became a Reagan volunteer and had an exhilarating experience: Reagan, having lost eight of the first nine primaries, revived his candidacy by winning all of Texas’ 100 convention delegates. Munisteri’s politically formative years were the conservative movement’s salad days — the late 1970s, and 1980s, when many conservatives acquired a serene certainty that this is and always will be a center-right country. Munisteri, however, is “a numbers guy,” so serenity is illusive. He notes that beginning with Franklin Roosevelt’s first victory in 1932, Democrats won seven of nine presidential elections, and if they had succeeded in their effort to enlist Dwight Eisenhower as a Democrat they probably would have won nine in a row. Trends can be reversed but until they are, Republicans risk protracted losing in a center-left country, which America now is, and in a purple Texas, which soon could be. — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Cities should say ‘no’ to the Olympics By Dave Zirin Los Angeles Times

The overwhelming news in the lead up to the 2016 Olympics has been about the rampant dysfunction of the host city, Rio de Janeiro, and for good reason. The stories are gruesome and sensationalistic, filled with the kinds of pulpy details that make a mental imprint deeply difficult to dismiss. There have been police officers greeting people arriving at Rio’s international airport with a banner reading “Welcome to Hell,” as they fight for overtime pay. Body parts have washed onto the beaches where Olympic events are due to take place. The Zika virus is causing a few high-profile athletes to back out of participating. Some of the stories sound like they’ve been pulled from a ham-handed Hollywood satire. Two skydivers fell to their deaths while attempting, with 26 others, to form the Olympic rings in an effort to hype the Games. A real jaguar, standing in for the Olympic mascot at a torch relay event, was shot dead by a police officer when it escaped its leash after the ceremonies. Or take this slogan from Rio’s Olympic Organizing Committee: A Olimpiada traz mais do que so a Olimpiada. That means “The Olympics bring so much more than just the Olympics.” No kidding. As bad as the situation is in Rio, all the clucking about its particular problems has a disturbing side effect: It drives a narrative that the maladies of the Olympics lie with Brazil’s mangled, corrupt government and not with the Olympic system itself. In every recent Games, we’ve seen some version of the worst of the Olympics maladies: debt, displacement and police violence. Rio is definitely seeing more than its share of these evils. According to a Rio watchdog group, more than 77,000 families have been compelled to move to new homes to make way for Games construction, the Rio

“

What every city needs to do is just say no. Rejecting the Games is the only action that holds the potential to spur meaningful reform.” Olympics are over budget by 51 percent, and, as Amnesty International is cataloging, in the last year, there has been a 135 percent increase in police killings, all focused on the city’s poorest areas. Since 9/11, security imperatives have provided host cities with a rationale, and possibly a pretext, for investment in high-tech weaponry and surveillance systems. That, in turn, has added to the Games’ cost and added a reason to remove people from their homes: to create a security perimeter for the foreign dignitaries, athletes and the Games venues. I have covered every Summer Olympics since 2004 and, at each site, I’ve seen the negative effects. The 2004 Games in Athens brought 50,000 paramili-

tary troops into the streets and came in at 200 percent over budget. The Olympic structures now shelter communities of squatters and the homeless, and the cost overruns added to Greece’s catastrophic recession. In 2008, the Beijing Games displaced an estimated 1.5 million people and cost a then-record $30 billion. The Games’ signature Bird’s Nest stadium is now a mostly empty relic. The 2012 Summer Games in London also went over budget, and put surface-to-air missiles atop residential apartment buildings. In 2014, the Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, cost $51 billion — more than every other Winter Games combined. Roughly $30 billion of this was simply unaccounted for, chalked up to corruption, another common corollary of the Olympic enterprise. After the extremes of Beijing and Sochi, the International Olympic Committee came up with its Agenda 2020, reforms that were supposed to encourage more economical Games, making them more palatable to

smaller cities and governments that have to answer to taxpayers and voters, as opposed to autocracies, such as China and Russia. Any discussion of reform is welcome, but the idea that meaningful safeguards against corruption or human rights abuses have been put in place is laughable. What every city needs to do is just say no. Rejecting the Games is the only action that holds the potential to spur meaningful reform. Then perhaps we’ll see the IOC end the practice of cityby-city bids that encourages high-stakes promises and requires the creation of massive Games infrastructure, often from scratch, every four years. Then perhaps we’ll see the creation of permanent venues for the Winter and Summer Games. Rejecting the Games is the only act that will push the Olympics to change. — Dave Zirin is the sports editor of the Nation and author, most recently, of the book “Brazil’s Dance With The Devil: The World Cup, The Olympics, and the Fight for Democracy.” He wrote this for the Los Angeles Times.

Merger CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

animal and plant health, KBA also makes a number of research grants each year, mainly through state universities. Kansas lawmakers authorized selling off KBA’s assets and investment portfolio during the recent legislative session, in part to generate an estimated $25 million to help balance this year’s budget. Anything received above that amount, up to an additional $13 million, is earmarked to fund the school finance equity bill that lawmakers passed during the special legislative session in June. But if the sale falls short of $25 million, the school finance money will have to come from other designated sources. According to KBA’s most recent audited financial statement, that portfolio, along with other securities investments, were valued at just over $25 million at the end of fiscal year 2015. Its total assets, including the land and building it owns in Olathe, were valued at $82.8 million. But Commerce Secretary Antonio Soave said an outside investment banking firm is conducting another review before the state puts the assets and portfolio on the auction block. “What we would like to do is sit down with the investment banker, and in light of the new information that we obtain (today) and Friday hopefully all of it will sustain a certain perceived value,” Soave said. That new appraisal of KBA’s net value will be shared with prospective buyers, he said, but the actual market value of the assets and portfolio won’t be known until the sale closes, which officials hope will happen before the end of the calendar year. Budget Director Shawn Sullivan said merging KBA with the Department of Commerce was necessary because KBA itself is not authorized to sell off its assets and portfolio. With the merger, all of the assets and liabilities of KBA will be transferred to the Department of Commerce. That includes commitments for about $3 million in grants to be distributed in fiscal years 2018 and 2019. Burroughs said he was disappointed that the state was selling off the Bioscience Authority in what some have called a “fire sale” that was made necessary by the state’s poor fiscal condition. “I’m very concerned about devaluing the portfolio because of our reputation of not being able to financially meet the obligations we put forward with the KBA,” Burroughs said. “I hope that we find that the portfolio, along with two future grants in 2018 and 2019 will provide us a better insight of the true value.” But House Majority Leader Rep. Jene Vickrey, R-Louisburg, said there was more to the decision to sell off KBA than simply raising cash for the state budget. “I don’t believe we’re holding a fire sale,” he said. “The way this was constructed didn’t work as well as we needed it to, and we need a new structure.”

Louisburg Republican confirms he’ll run for Kansas Speaker

lthough the general elections are still more than three months away, some Kansas lawmakers are already lining up to run for leadership positions next session. The latest was Rep. Jene Vickrey, R-Louisburg, who confirmed Wednesday that he plans to run for speaker of the House in the 2017 session, hoping to succeed current Speaker Ray Merrick, of Stilwell, who is retiring from the Legislature this year. Leadership elections are typically held in late November or December following the general elections. Vickrey is currently the

House majority leader, which is considered the second most powerful position in the House. He was first elected to the House in 1992 in a stunning upset race when he unseated then-House Speaker Marvin Barkus,

the last Democrat to serve in that position. Talking with reporters Wednesday following a State Finance Council meeting, Vickrey was at first coy on the subject and said he isn’t actively campaigning for the job just yet. “I’ve told my caucus, now is not the time to be running for leadership because we have members that need to be elected,” he said. But when pressed about it, he relented. “I do plan to be running for leadership,” he said. “Running for speakership, or just leadership?” one reporter asked. “Leadership is broader than just the speakership.” “Yes,” Vickrey said.

“Yes what?” another reporter asked. “I will be running for speaker,” Vickrey said. “But, now is not ... I’m not announcing anything because we have work to do.” Traditionally, Kansas House speakers serve no more than two terms (four years) in that position, then retire from the House. A few, including Democrat John Carlin (1977-78) and Republican Mike Hayden (1983-86), have gone on to become governor. It’s not known who else might run for speaker. Rep. Peggy Mast, R-Emporia, the current House speaker pro tem, would be an obvious candidate, but she chose not to run

Bert Nash CEO David Johnson said features were also developed through conversations with partnering community agencies and local law enforcement departments. The architects did their research on law enforcement needs and presented them with ideas to make it convenient for officers to bring a person in crisis to the center. “The way to make sure law enforcement uses the facility is to make it easy to use,” Johnson said. Jeff Lane of Treanor said patient capacity could be increased with the addition of a second bed in each of the long-term ward’s rooms. He also said the building would be designed to be easily expanded.

Ryan tops GOP popularity poll House Speaker Paul Ryan is more popular nationally than Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Chris Christie and his former partner on the 2012 GOP ticket, Mitt Romney, according to polling by Gallup. Ryan was viewed favorably by 44% of adults and unfavorably by 35%. He was viewed favorably by 71% of Republicans and unfavorably by 16%. In both cases, he was more popular than Romney, Trump, Cruz and Christie. Trump is viewed favorably by 33% of adults nationally and unfavorably by 63%. Gallup polled Americans on another GOP figure, former president George W. Bush, who had higher positive ratings than Ryan among Republicans and among all adults. But he also had higher negative ratings with both groups. Craig Gilbert Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

The mother of the Iraq war veteran who killed three officers in Baton Rouge on Sunday said she urged him to seek help from the Department of Veterans Affairs after he left the Marine Corps but he returned unhappy with the care, according to an interview with PBS host Tavis Smiley. “They didn’t want to help me,” Corine Woodley said her son, Gavin Long, told her after visiting a VA facility, according to Smiley’s notes. “They only help people at the top, the 1%.” Long, an African-American who deployed to Iraq in 2008-09, was shot to death after opening fire on police on a busy commercial street. Woodley said she feared he was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder although he did not see combat while in Iraq. The VA said this week that Long had “a number of contacts” with its health care system from 2008 to August 2013. The agency declined to provide details, citing privacy laws.

Experts agreed. “He’s going to have to strike a balance between being Donald Trump and reassuring those on the fence that he understands the issues,” said Anita McBride, a former White House adviser. “If a teleprompter is what he needs to stay focused on that, he has to use it.” Trump, who once ridiculed politicians for using teleprompters, sometimes uses one himself.

Turkish president declares 3-month state of emergency Educators, judges, media suspended Oren Dorell @orendorell USA TODAY

Turkey’s government declared a three-month state of emergency and dismissed thousands of educators Wednesday, expanding a crackdown that followed last week’s failed coup. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the moves were intended to preserve Turkey’s democracy, according to the state-run Anado-

lu Agency. Human rights groups, however, said Erdogan’s harsh measures since foiling Friday’s attempted coup threaten the country’s democratic tradition. “The concern is they are going after people who supported the coup, but using this to strengthen (Erdogan’s) hold,” said P. Kumar of Amnesty International USA. “He was democratically elected, but (Turkey is) essentially becoming a one-party state.” The government suspended nearly 22,000 education ministry employees and said it would revoke the licenses of 21,000 private educators, according to

VOICES

It’s time to come together over race Sen. Tim Scott Special for USA TODAY

Our American family is experiencing turmoil we have not seen in a generation. Two weeks ago, a tragedy in Dallas, where five police officers were killed and seven more wounded, closed a disturbing week that began with the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philandro Castille. Then, early this past Sunday, three Baton Rouge police officers were ambushed and killed. Our nation needs to have a painful, productive conversation on race. But, and I cannot say this any more clearly — killing, injuring or otherwise targeting our law enforcement officers is absolutely unacceptable, and those who do so must face swift justice. We know that the vast majority of our nation’s law enforcement officers are honest, hardworking men and women looking to only do two things: protect and serve. In my hometown of North Charleston, S.C., I have walked the streets with law enforcement officers early on Christmas morning, hand-delivering presents to children who otherwise probably would not have received anything. We all saw brave officers in Dallas rush to protect the peaceful demonstra-

tors who just minutes before were protesting police brutality. But in spite of the tremendous work done by so many of those who protect us every day, there is a trust gap between the black community and law enforcement. No matter what you are seeing on TV or reading on Twitter, this is an issue that has been growing for years. Many Americans, including some of my colleagues, were surprised last week when they heard me share stories like this in one of three speeches I delivered from the Senate floor. In the Senate, where we have specially made lapel pins so that

the Capitol Police can identify members of Congress, I have been told, “The pin I know. You, I don’t. Show me your ID.” The pin identifying me as one was not enough. My then-five years walking the halls of Congress as a member of the House, and now the Senate, were not enough. Capitol Police supervisors, even the chief, have apologized to me no less than three times since becoming a senator for incidents like this. Since I was a teenager, I have felt the fear, anger, sadness and humiliation that only comes when you know you have been wronged even as you’re doing

things right. Now, we must come together, not just in government, but in living rooms, schools and neighborhoods. It’s time to unclench the angry fists and stop the hand-wringing. Let’s join hands instead. It will be hard. There is no single solution. But there are clear starting points. On the law enforcement side, police departments interested in purchasing body cameras should have the resources to do so. The FBI should track police-related shootings in a way that provides all of us the clearest picture of what is actually happening.

I have introduced legislation to help accomplish both of these goals. In addition, members of the law enforcement community have advocated de-escalation training as well as diversity training. We should encourage such steps to improve policing while beginning to close the trust gap. America is an amazing place, and our greatness is seen in the progress of her people. My grandfather was born in Salley, S.C., in 1921. He dropped out of elementary school and went to pick cotton instead. He eventually found a job at the Port of Charleston, which did not give our family great resources but did stabilize our foundation. Now, one of his grandsons is a United States senator. Another just retired as a command sergeant major in the U.S. Army. My grandfather’s American Dream is still unfolding in his greatgrandson, my nephew, who has graduated from Georgia Tech and Duke, and is preparing to enter medical school at Emory. My family went from cotton to Congress in one lifetime. We endured our bumps and bruises, and know that while challenges certainly still remain, we have come a long way. That is the true story of America, and that is what we should be striving for in every community across this great land. Scott, a Republican, is a U.S. senator from South Carolina.

Trump has rocky relationship with scripts v CONTINUED FROM 1B

It should be high drama — “in a league by itself,” said Randy Sparks, a University of Dayton marketing professor and expert on public speaking. Bill Lee, a socially conservative Utah delegate who’s undecided about whether to support Trump, wants substance, not a show: “Give us a reason to vote. Throw us a bone!” TELEPROMPTER SKILLS

A teleprompter, which allows a speaker to read a scrolling text from a series of one-way mirrors, is used by most national candidates to give important speeches. Some, such as Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama, are so good you don’t know, or forget, they’re reading. Early on, Trump scorned the machine as another trapping of politics as usual. He spoke off the cuff, free-associating like an improv comic. It helped make his rallies revivals and his candidacy a political phenomenon. In March, after a series of selfinflicted controversies threatened to obliterate his message, he began using a script and teleCorrections & Clarifications USA TODAY is committed to accuracy.

prompter for important policy addresses. Some, such as his speech in Virginia this month on veterans, were well-received. Party leaders have welcomed the trend. “People are looking for a level of seriousness that is typically conveyed by having a prepared text and teleprompter,” said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. This week, Reince Priebus, the party chairman, said Trump’s teleprompter use looked “really presidential.” Not everyone likes Teleprompter Trump. David Zurawik, media critic for The Sun in Baltimore, compared him to “someone trying to dance but couldn’t find the beat.” On CNN Tuesday night, former Obama adviser David Axelrod said Trump is “so good when he’s riffing.” As for reading, he said, “he’s just not that good at it.” As former George W. Bush speechwriter Michael Gerson put it, Trump keeps falling off the teleprompter wagon. The showman apparently feels the show must go on. That would be risky Thursday. “If he picks up the mic, walks around the podium and goes off script, his core will love it. But his advisers backstage will be having cardiac arrest,” Sparks said. “The undecided Republicans at home could say, ‘Enough is enough’ and write him off.” On the other hand, Trump must sound like Trump. Authenticity becomes even more crucial after Melania Trump’s speech Monday, in which she used the

President Reagan addresses supporters at an electoral meeting in November 1984, a few days before the presidential election. teleprompter to read words and phrases used by Michelle Obama in a speech in 2008. The key, Sparks said, is the script: If it sounds too presidential or too much like a conventional acceptance speech — lofty

and aspirational like House Speaker Paul Ryan’s on Tuesday night, the kind of stuff speech writers love to write — it will fail. Instead, the speech should be written in “plain, shirtsleeve English — ‘very, very bad’ instead of

Is the sort of semi-spontaneity many delegates favor for Trump’s speech feasible? Ad-libbing, even within a set speech, Sparks said, is “a highrisk strategy. When Trump is Trump, he elaborates. That’s when controversial things get said.” Another problem: Once he goes off script, Trump has trouble coming back. Take Saturday, when Trump introduced Indiana Gov. Mike Pence to the nation as his running mate. Trump spoke for almost half an hour — twice as long as Pence — sometimes reading flatly from a sheet of paper in his hand, sometimes soaring off on tangents. The result was the semblance of a parody, including Trump’s much-ridiculed transition “But back to Mike Pence.” As vintage Trump, it was perfect. As an introduction to Pence, it was a fiasco. Trump summed up Thursday’s challenge last month in an interview with The New York Times: “I want it to be on message. I want it to be fun. And you have to put all of those things together.” He meant the convention lineup; he could have been talking about his own speech.

Trump arrives to take control; A-list speakers take to stage Pence, Cruz, Gingrich among leaders on tap to aid party unity John Bacon and Richard Wolf USA TODAY

Donald Trump arrived here in his trademark, topdollar fashion Wednesday to take control of the Republican National Convention, but he failed to win the sought-after endorsement of his main Republican rival for president, Ted Cruz. Many delegates to the convention booed loudly when Cruz, who placed second in the primaries, urged Americans to “vote their conscience” rather than to rally around the man who defeated him in a nasty, name-calling primary campaign. The commotion came amid a continuing flap over Melania Trump’s partially plagiarized speech and deep divisions within the party, tempered only by a shared loathing of Trump’s Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton. Fresh from his official nomination as the party’s candidate for president on Tuesday, the billionaire builder stepped off a “Trump”-emblazoned helicopter to greet his vice presidential running-mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, who headlined the evening’s program at Quicken Loans Arena. Despite Pence’s much-anticipated debut on the national stage and speeches from spurned Republicans — Cruz, former House speaker Newt Gingrich, who lost out in the vice presidential sweepstakes, and Florida Sen.

GOP vice presidential nominee Gov. Mike Pence enters the convention hall during the 2016 Republican National Convention at Quicken Loans Arena. up to his acceptance speech Thursday night. “This is really an honor, and we’re going to win Ohio,” Trump told supporters at a brief arrival ceremony where he was greeted by Pence. “We’re going to win Ohio, we’re going to win it all.” With suspense hanging over the convention as it leads to Thursday’s finale, Cruz had delegates holding their breath than an endorsement might be forthcoming. Instead, the Texas senator’s

speech included just one direct reference to Trump — a simple congratulations for winning the nomination. He said Americans should “vote your conscience, vote for candidates up and down the ticket who you trust to defend our freedom and to be faithful to the Constitution.” That led to a chorus of boos and chants of “Trump!” from angry delegates and alternates — anger that Gingrich later tried to allay by reinterpreting what Cruz had said.

“To paraphrase Ted Cruz, if you want to protect the Constitution of the United States, the only possible candidate this fall is the Trump-Pence Republican ticket,” Gingrich said. There was pressure inside the arena for more unity than had been evident during the convention’s first two days. Syndicated radio host Laura Ingraham, who referred to Clinton disdainfully as “her majesty,” issued a warning to former presidential candidates

who took a pledge to support the winner, such as Cruz, Jeb Bush and John Kasich. “You must honor your pledge to support Donald Trump now — tonight,” she said. Rubio followed through later in a brief video appearance while campaigning for re-election in Florida. “The time for fighting each other is over,” he said. “It’s time to come together.” But first, Trump’s campaign attempted to end the kerfuffle over Melania Trump’s speech Monday night, in which she repeated passages from Michelle Obama’s speech to the Democratic National Convention in 2008. The campaign issued a statement from Trump Organization staffer Meredith McIver, who took responsibility for the inserts and offered to resign. The offer was rejected. Turning to his favorite form of social media, Trump attempting to turn the dust-up to his benefit. “The media is spending more time doing a forensic analysis of Melania’s speech than the FBI spent on Hillary’s emails,” he tweeted. Street protests, which had been mostly calm for two days, heated up Wednesday. A flag-burning demonstration turned chaotic; police said 17 people were arrested and two officers suffered minor injuries. Pence was to make his case with the prime-time cameras rolling. In addition to playing the traditional running-mate role of attack dog, his podium moment will provide the opportunity to further smooth over differences between himself and Trump on such issues as trade, the war in Iraq and whether Muslims should be banned from entering the United States.

Bob Dole: ‘Trump’s going to make a great president’ Nominee knows how to compromise, says venerable politician Susan Page @susanpage USA TODAY

Other past Republican presidential nominees seem sufficiently dismayed by Donald Trump as standard-bearer that they haven’t even shown up here for the GOP convention. But Bob Dole, who marks his 93rd birthday Friday, was happily sitting with the Kansas delegation on the convention floor Tuesday night after the states’ roll call officially nominated Trump, and he endorses Trump with a fullthroated enthusiasm rare among Republican graybeards. “I think Trump’s going to make a great president,” Dole declared in an interview with USA TODAY, adding that he believes Trump will win in November. “I really believe there’s — maybe ‘a movement’ is too strong — but there’s just a lot of people, Republicans, independents and some Democrats, who are angry for some reason. Government, Congress, maybe something in their own state. And, you know, they’ve all kind of rallied around Trump.” No one has deeper Republican credentials than Dole. He has atCLEVELAND

tended every convention since 1964 (”Basically, they’re the same”) as a member of the House and then the Senate, as Republican national chairman, as the running mate for then-president Gerald Ford and, finally, as the presidential nominee himself in 1996. “I had a pretty good speech,” he says ruefully, “but I didn’t have any votes. I didn’t have enough.” He has some advice for Trump on his big acceptance speech Thursday night. The two men have chatted by phone a half-dozen times in recent months. Trump’s aggressive tone “was great for the primaries, but it’s not so good for the general,” Dole says. “Now he has to tone down his rhetoric and reach out to people and become inclusive. ... You know, we’re not going to win if we just keep picking on independents or groups, whether it’s African Americans or Latinos or Asians, middle-class white people, whatever. And I sense that Trump understands that.” As president, Dole predicts Trump would have the skills to work with Congress. “I think that’s his strength,” he says. “He’s done that all his life. He’s made deals. He’ll compromise.” Dole struggles a bit when asked whether Trump reminds him of any other politician. “No,” he says, “I think Trump’s just a different animal.”

CLEVELAND A Trump aide has taken responsibility for the controversy over Melania Trump’s speech, saying she offered to resign but Trump rejected it. In a statement released by the Trump campaign, in-house staff writer (and ghostwriter of books by Donald Trump) Meredith McIver said it “was my mistake.” It took two days for the Trump campaign to even acknowledge that parts of the speech were the same as first lady Michelle Obama’s 2008 Democratic convention speech. Even on Wednesday morning, Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort was denying the overlap on CNN. But the press around the speech and the campaign’s denial of the obvious overlap in wording was proving to be a significant distraction for the Trump campaign — although just before McIver’s statement, the Republican presidential nominee tweeted that “all press is good press!” The statement from McIver: “TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: “My name is Meredith McIver and I’m an in-house staff writer at the Trump Organization. I am also a longtime friend and admirer of the Trump family. “In working with Melania Trump on her recent First Lady speech, we discussed many people who inspired her and messages she wanted to share with the American people. A person she has always liked is Michelle Obama. Over the phone, she read me some passages from Mrs. Obama’s speech as examples. I wrote them down and later included some of the phrasing in the draft that ultimately became the final speech. I did not check Mrs. Obama’s speeches. This was my mistake, and I feel terrible for the chaos I have caused Melania and the Trumps, as well as to Mrs. Obama. No harm was meant. “Yesterday, I offered my resignation to Mr. Trump and the Trump family, but they rejected it. Mr. Trump told me that people

make innocent mistakes and that we learn and grow from these experiences. “I asked to put out this statement because I did not like seeing the way this was distracting from Mr. Trump’s historic campaign for president and Melania’s beautiful message and presentation. “I apologize for the confusion and hysteria my mistake has caused. Today, more than ever, I am honored to work for such a great family. I personally admire the way Mr. Trump has handled this situation and I am grateful for his understanding.” Outside the Quicken Loans Arena, Jim Moyer, 56, of Pittsburgh, said he supports Trump’s decision to reject the resignation. “I have a lot of respect for Donald Trump for his loyalty to his people,” says Moyer. “You want to hold people accountable, but he made the right decision. I feel bad for Melania. The truth is, it’s not that big a deal. We have serious problems in our country. The last thing we need to worry about is a stupid little line in a speech.” White House press secretary Josh Earnest said he’d let people “draw their own conclusions” if the president was upset that the first lady’s speech had been used.

Meredith McIver has accepted responsibility for Melania Trump’s controversial speech.

CLEVELAND

ep. Lee Zeldin doesn’t agree with colleagues who warn that the Republican National Convention is far too risky a place to be for a member of Congress facing a tough re-election battle.

The 36-year-old first-term congressman from New York is one of 11 House Republicans whose re-election race is rated a “toss up” by the non-partisan Cook Political Report, but he is the only one attending the convention. The 10 other House members on that endangered list chose to stay home and campaign, sidestepping any controversy generated by GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump and his supporters in Cleveland. But Zeldin said he sees the convention as an opportunity to be part of setting his party’s agenda on important issues from national security to economic growth. And he has no problem showing public support for the billionaire businessman. “I’m someone who believes if you sit on the sidelines, you’re helping elect Hillary Clinton,” Zeldin said, referring to the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. “I care too much about my country’s security and future to do that.” Zeldin’s Democratic opponent, former Southampton town supervisor Anna Throne-Holst, said the congressman should not have come to Cleveland. “Lee Zeldin should be focusing on his constituents here on Long Island, not ‘partying’ in Cleveland,” she said in a statement. “Zeldin is once again putting his own political ambition before Long Island.” Zeldin has embraced Trump’s candidacy while many Republican congressional leaders, including House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., have offered reluctant endorsements, at best. Ryan said Monday in Cleveland that Trump is “not my kind of conservative.” Of nine Republican senators considered vulnerable to defeat, only one — Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin — spoke at the convention. Another, Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio, made brief appearances at the event because it was in his home state.

Endangered GOP congressman has no fear

LEE ZELDIN, IN THE MIDST OF A HEATED RE-ELECTION CAMPAIGN, IS ONE OF THE FEW AT-RISK LAWMAKERS TO COME TO CLEVELAND TO BACK TRUMP.

For vulnerable Republicans, it’s safer to stay home, said John Green, a professor of political science at the University of Akron. “It’s much easier to say ‘I want to stay home with my constituents’ than to take the risk of going to a convention with a controversial nominee who may alienate some voters,” Green said. “Very few people will fault you for staying home.” On the other hand, Green said, members of Congress who attend conventions may benefit from fundraising opportunities or from the press attention they receive. “The key thing, whatever you decide, is to have a good explanation for why you’re doing what you’re doing,” he said. If Trump wins the presidency, he is likely to look favorably on Republican members of Congress who came to the convention and supported him enthusiastically, said Paul Beck, professor emeritus of political science at Ohio State University. However, the lawmakers who avoided the convention will be in a better position to make the case that they are independent of Trump if his support among voters tanks in November, Beck said. Zeldin said he doesn’t agree with Trump on everything, but believes Trump would be a strong leader. He also noted that more than 70% of voters in his district voted for Trump in the Republican primary election in April. “You’re never going to find that absolute perfect candidate,” said Zeldin, who opposes Trump’s call for a ban on Muslims entering the U.S. “This race is between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. For me, that is a no-brainer.” Electing a strong commander in chief with a clear military strategy is especially important to Zeldin, who served on active duty in the Army for four years as a military intelligence officer, attorney and military magistrate. Zeldin, who was deployed to Iraq in 2006 with an infantry battalion of paratroopers, now serves as a major in the Army Reserves. Zeldin is spending much of his time at the convention with New York delegates as they attend events and gather on the convention floor to cheer the keynote speakers. On Tuesday, he moderated a Republican Jewish Coalition event featuring a panel discussion on foreign policy by former House speaker Newt Gingrich, former diplomat John Bolton and Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer. Zeldin is the only Jewish Republican in Congress. The congressman said he hopes the convention will help heal the divisions in the GOP that resulted from the contentious primary season. “It’s important for the Republican Party to leave here as strong and united as possible,” he said.

PROFILE: DAVID BOSSIE

Hillary Clinton’s worst nightmare The man behind the movie draws big money, power in GOP’s ranks

David Bossie has new clout as head of the Maryland delegation to the GOP National Convention.

Fredreka Schouten @fschouten USA TODAY

CLEVELAND David Bossie isn’t a household name, but he probably should be. The 50-year-old political operative, as much as any single person, is responsible for the nearly unrestricted flood of money pouring into the 2016 presidential campaign. He runs the conservative advocacy group Citizens United, and his attempt to distribute his 2007 anti-Hillary Clinton movie gave rise to the Supreme Court’s 2010 blockbuster Citizens United decision, which upended decades of campaign-finance rules and allowed corporations and unions to spend unlimited amounts to influence federal, state and local elections. Nine years after Hillary: The Movie, the barrel-chested activist now is turning one of the biggest weapons of the post-Citizens United era on Clinton. He’s the newly installed leader of the Defeat Crooked Hillary PAC, a super PAC funded largely by hedgefund billionaire Robert Mercer that plans to merge cutting-edge technology and old-fashioned opposition research in a push to sink the Democrats’ presumptive presidential nominee. At the same time, Bossie, a longtime outside agitator against the Clintons, is moving closer to the inner circle of a Republican Party now dominated by the biggest outsider of them all: Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Bossie is a first-time convention delegate at this week’s Re-

publican National Convention, but he’s chairing Maryland’s 76member contingent of delegates and alternates to the Cleveland gathering. The state’s Republicans recently elected him as GOP national committeeman, tossing out a veteran who held the seat for more than a decade. On Thursday, convention-goers can screen the latest movie he’s produced, Torchbearer, in which Duck Dynasty reality TV star Phil Robertson ties the fall of the Roman Empire, the rise of Nazism and terrorist attacks by the Islamic State to godlessness. Next week, Bossie will be at the Democratic convention in Philadelphia as one of the Republican National Committee’s anti-Clinton surrogates. “I’m now a member of the

RNC,” Bossie boasted during an interview this week, tugging at the official party credential that dangled from his neck. His ascension, he said, is a sign that the “establishment is really moving much more toward the conservative movement, which is an exciting thing for the grass roots.” Bossie emerged on the political landscape in 1990s as the top investigator for the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. He helped lead GOP probes of the Clinton administration, including the Whitewater controversy and allegations that China tried to illegally funnel political donations to the Democratic Party. (Bossie resigned in 1998 amid sharp criticism of his role in releasing edited tapes of prison conversations with Webster Hub-

bell, a Clinton confidant and former Justice Department official who was jailed for overbilling clients while in private practice.) His 2007, 90-minute documentary about Clinton was scathingly critical of the former first lady. Bossie and his allies cast it as an issue-oriented film. The Federal Election Commission and a lower court said it amounted to a political commercial that could not be distributed during the primary season because it was funded by corporate money. In the end, the Supreme Court’s 5-4 ruling swept aside those limits and said restrictions on independent corporate spending in elections amounted to “censorship.” “There are very few people who have played such a singular role as a conservative activist in these campaign-finance issues,” Sheila Krumholz, who runs the non-partisan Center for Responsive Politics, said of Bossie. “It’s back to the future for him with Hillary Clinton,” she added. “He can keep opening and reopening the same old wounds because he’s been an activist as an investigator and instigator for so long.” The father of four said young voters don’t know enough about Clinton and the controversies that dogged her husband’s administration. Part of his job, he said, is to dredge up that history, tie it to the latest controversies about Clinton Foundation funding and Clinton’s private email server and use the newest technology and money from deeppocketed donors to spread the message to voters. “That makes us dangerous,” he said. Mercer, the co-founder of Renaissance Technologies, recently poured $2 million into the antiClinton super PAC as seed money, Bossie said. Clinton campaign officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Two men framed for murder to be freed Aamer Madhani @AamerISmad USA TODAY

CHICAGO A Cook County judge on Wednesday ordered the release of two men who have spent more than 23 years in prison for murder and long insisted they were framed by a Chicago police detective who is at the center of several wrongful conviction probes. In a brief court hearing Wednesday, Judge LeRoy Martin agreed to the prosecutor’s office request to vacate the convictions of Jose Montanez, 49, and Armando Serrano, 44, who were serving 55-year sentences for the 1993 murder of Rodrigo Vargas, who was slain in what authorities said was an armed robbery. The men have remained behind bars for more than a decade after the prosecution’s star witness recanted his testimony. The move by the office of Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez comes after a state appellate court ruling issued last month found that “profoundly alarming acts of misconduct in the underlying investigation and prosecution” led to the men’s convictions. It was an about-face for Alvarez, who initially resisted a recommendation issued last year by former federal prosecutor

OF WALL STREET’ PROFITS Billions of dollars allegedly diverted from Malaysian sovereign wealth fund for luxury, gambling, personal use Kevin McCoy and Nathan Bomey

@kmccoynyc, @NathanBomey USA TODAY

The Department of Justice on Wednesday moved to seize roughly $1 billion in assets, including future proceeds from the 2013 film The Wolf of Wall Street, Old Masters art works and U.S. luxury real estate in an international corruption investigation targeting officials who allegedly profited off of a Malaysian sovereign wealth fund, possibly including the country’s prime minister. Conspirators allegedly misappropriated more than $3.5 billion from 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) in a vast money laundering scheme from 2009 through 2013 and then used a network of shell companies to buy U.S. mansions and luxury condominiums, pay gambling expenses at Las Vegas casinos, purchase paintings by Van Gogh and Monet and finance other personal expenses, investigators alleged. Federal officials said the case represents the largest attempted seizure under anti-kleptocracy laws in U.S. history. “It should make clear to corrupt officials around the world that we will be relentless in our efforts to deny them the proceeds of their crimes,” Attorney General Loretta Lynch told reporters in a news conference. The complex case revolves around accusations that certain corrupt Malaysian officials — including possibly Prime Minister Rajib Nazak — conspired to divert 1MDB capital that was supposed to benefit Malaysia’s economy as assets for their personal enrichment, entertainment and daily comfort. Among the assets the government is seeking are the L’Ermitage Hotel in Beverly Hills, rights to the Wolf of Wall Street film starring Leonardo DiCaprio, multiple Beverly Hills mansions, several New York City luxury condominiums, rights to EMI Publishing songs, a Bombardier jet and a quarter-billion dollars in capital invested in New York’s Park Lane hotel. While Lynch declined to say whether Najib is a target of the probe or suspected of involvement, the forfeiture complaint filed in a federal court Wednesday describes one beneficiary of the corruption, “Malaysian official 1,”

Those named include Malaysian national Riza Shahriz Bin Abdul Aziz, co-founder of Hollywood studio Red Granite Pictures; Malaysian national “Eric” Tan Kim Loong, holder of bank accounts that received 1MDB assets; United Arab Emirates national Khadem Abdulla Al Qubaisi; and U.S. citizen Mohamed Ahmed Badawy Al-Husseiny.

“We will not allow the United States to become a playground for the corrupt.” Eileen Decker, Los Angeles-based U.S. Attorney

FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe told reporters the investigation is ongoing, suggesting it could yet ensnare individuals in civil or criminal charges. For now, the government’s case focuses exclusively on seizing assets, such as Red Granite’s rights to Wolf of Wall Street, which was allegedly financed using $64 million in 1MDB funds. In a statement, 1MDB said it was not a party to the Department of Justice action, has no U.S. assets and didn’t benefit from the alleged transactions. The fund added that it would “fully cooperate with any foreign

lawful authority, subject to international protocols governing such matters and the advice of the relevant domestic lawful authorities.” The initial diversion involved purported investment in a joint venture between 1MDB and a private Saudi oil extraction company called PSI, the complaint charged. An estimated $1 billion in 1MDB funds allegedly flowed to a Swiss bank account held in the name of Good Star Limited. Contrary to representations by 1MDB officials, the account was beneficially owned by Low Taek Jho, a Malaysian national who had no formal position with the fund but was involved in its creation, the court complaint charged. Low laundered more than $400 million into the U.S. for the “personal gratification of Low and his associates,” the filing alleged. Subsequent alleged diversions include a substantial portion of the proceeds 1MDB raised through two bond offerings arranged and underwritten by U.S. investment bank Goldman Sachs. The bonds were guaranteed by both the Malaysian fund and an investment entity owned by the government of Abu Dhabi. Officials of 1MDB wired approximately $1.367 billion, or more than 40% of the net proceeds raised by the bond offerings, to a Swiss bank account belonging to a British Virgin Islands entity known as Aabar Investments, the complaint charged. Some of the money was diverted to a Singapore bank account controlled by Tan Kim Loong, an associate of Low, and “distributed for the personal benefit of various individuals,” the complaint alleged. Additonally, officials of 1MDB and other individuals allegedly diverted more than $1.26 billion from a third bond offering Goldman Sachs arranged in 2013. The diverted funds were laundered through a complex series of transactions that in some cases involved bank accounts in the U.S., Singapore, Switzerland and Luxembourg, the complaint charged. Balance sheets for Red Granite Pictures allegedly showed no payments indicating any investment return to 1MDB from The Wolf of Wall Street.

‘There’s no denying that the market isn’t cheap,’ pros say Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

There’s a looming downside to the U.S. stock market’s recent run: Stocks are getting pricey again. The nearly 9% surge for the large-company Standard & Poor’s 500 index since the late-June post-Brexit low has pushed its price-to-earnings ratio — a common metric used to measure if the market is cheap or pricey — to 17.2.

Stock prices are growing more expensive as the bull market moves deeper into its seventh year, which is not unusual. And even though stocks theoretically get more risky as valuations swell, P-E ratios could move even higher as investors start pricing in better corporate earnings and economic growth in the second half of the year.

Airbnb taps Holder to take on discrimination CEO says company has to ‘do more to get our house in order’ Elizabeth Weise @eweise USA TODAY

Stung by complaints of discrimination and racism among some of its hosts, Airbnb has hired former attorney general Eric Holder to help it craft an anti-discrimination policy. The home-rental company announced last month it would review all aspects of its platform with an eye to fighting bias and SAN FRANCISCO

discrimination. Critics have said that by creating a digital space that allowed individuals to choose to whom they rent apartments and houses, Airbnb unwittingly enabled its hosts to act on their biases. A Harvard Business School study last year found widespread discrimination by Airbnb hosts. Renters who have said they were repeatedly turned down by hosts — a pattern that tended to reverse if they swapped their profile photo for one of a cityscape, for instance — have protested the racial discrimination under the hashtag #AirbnbWhileBlack. Holder’s hiring is part of Airbnb’s efforts to deal with the problems that have arisen. He

Eric Holder was attorney general from 2009 to 2015.

said he was looking forward to working with Airbnb to develop and implement what the company calls “a world-class” anti-discrimination policy. “Airbnb is committed to building a community where everyone

can belong, no matter who they are or what they look like. I’m eager to help them craft policies that will be the model for companies who share Airbnb’s commitment to diversity and inclusion,” Holder said in a statement. Holder was attorney general from 2009 to 2015, during which he championed the civil rights of minorities and gays. He left a year ago and rejoined his former law firm, Covington & Burling. During his tenure, he oversaw a parallel civil rights inquiry into the shooting of Michael Brown by police officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Mo. During the inquiry, his office issued written guidance to police across the country, identifying practices to help police

maintain public safety while safeguarding constitutional rights. In a post Wednesday, Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky said Airbnb has “an obligation to be honest about our own shortcomings, and do more to get our house in order.” He said a part of the process has been learning how to fight explicit racism and implicit biases that can lead to discrimination. The company also engaged anti-bias expert Robert Livingston of Harvard University to help it improve its unconscious bias training. It previously brought on Laura Murphy, the former head of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Washington, D.C., legislative office, to help lead the review of how hosts pick guests.

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

The European Central Bank meets Thursday for the first time since Britain voted to exit the European Union, but Wall Street expects the central bank to hold off on fresh stimulus measures until they get more data and can better measure the economic fallout. Still, Wall Street sees ECB President Mario Draghi loosening policy further in the fall, perhaps at its September meeting. The ECB expanded its asset-purchase program in March but likely wants to give the fresh stimulus some time to take effect, Alex Holmes of Capital Economics told clients in a note. “Brexit,” says Patrick O’Donnell, fixed income investment manager at Aberdeen Asset Man-

Analysts expect Delta stock to hit new heights

Q: Which airline stock is the best? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Airline stocks have been descending this year as investors worry about valuations, the strong dollar and demand for travel. But that’s creating an opportunity where most of the big airlines’ stocks look attractive to analysts, at least. Analysts on average rate seven of the major airlines trading on U.S. exchanges as “outperform” or “buy,” including Alaska Air, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, JetBlue Airways, Southwest Airlines, Spirit Airlines and United Continental, S&P Global Market Intelligence says. Hopes for the stocks are highest for Delta. The stock is down 20% this year to around $40 a share, but analysts on average think it could be worth $54.46 a share in 18 months. If they’re right, that would be 34% upside, which is higher than the implied upside in any of these airline stocks. The company’s adjusted earnings per share are expected to rise 27% this year to $5.86. Investors are even willing to look past some earnings declines in search for value. United shares rose 2% to roughly $49 a share Wednesday after the company on Tuesday reported 21% lower adjusted quarterly profit of $2.61 a share. Those results beat expectations by 2%. Analysts see 23% upside for the stock.

Ackman turns up heat on Herbalife even after FTC action Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

Activist hedge fund manager Bill Ackman on Wednesday reiterated his bearish investment bet on Herbalife, saying the nutrition supplement company’s $200 million regulatory settlement found evidence of a pyramid scheme — even though the agreement didn’t include that allegation. Intensifying the more than three-year financial siege, Ackman said he will urge overseas regulators to examine last week’s

GETTY IMAGES FOR PERSHING SQUARE

Activist hedge fund manager Bill Ackman speaks at a dinner in New York City.

U.S. Federal Trade Commission findings against Herbalife and pursue their own enforcement

actions. “Herbalife has actually been shut down by the FTC; they just haven’t realized it yet,” the billionaire businessman said during an investor conference call about second-quarter results of Pershing Square Holdings, the publiclytraded security of his hedge fund. The company’s year-to-date return is down 18.3% as of Tuesday, according to data on the Pershing Square website. Part of the loss stems from Ackman’s investment in Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, which faces multiple investigations of its drug pricing and dis-

tribution actions. Alan Hoffman, Herbalife’s executive vice president for global corporate affairs, challenged Ackman’s claim. “We would not have settled unless we had the greatest confidence in our ability to comply with the agreement and grow our business, and we believe this will be proven,” he said. The high-stakes showdown focuses on opposing views of Herbalife’s business structure and whether it represents an improper scheme in which a company’s new recruits provide income that goes to previous arrivals. The FTC court complaint said

the company did not focus on retail sales of nutritional, diet and personal care products. Instead, Herbalife’s structure encouraged salespeople, known internally as members, to bring in hundreds of thousands of others who were told they could reap big profits selling Herbalife merchandise. The FTC concluded that many of the newcomers were victimized by misleading representations and made little or no profits. The regulatory settlement required Herbalife to restructure to ensure that participants’ success depends on whether they actually sell the company’s products.

Report: Diallo agrees to deal

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Beyond a doubt

J-W Staff and Wire Reports

Former Kansas University forward Cheick Diallo has reached an agreement on a three-year contract with the New Orleans Pelicans, ESPN.com reported Wednesday. Terms of the agreement have not been reported. However, ESPN.com indicates “other players who were drafted just before or just after Diallo last month have received at least two fully guaranteed years, along with a Diallo starting salary worth more than the minimum.” Diallo, 19, was acquired by the Pelicans in a draftnight trade. New Orleans sent its 39th and 40th picks to the Los Angeles Clippers, who had selected him with their 33rd overall pick in the second round. The 6-foot-9 Diallo averaged 3.0 points and 2.5 rebounds per game while logging 7.5 minutes per contest his only season at KU. According to the New Orleans Times Picayune, “Diallo was the Pelicans’ most consistent performer (in summer league), outshining sixth overall pick Buddy Hield, who has not signed his rookie-scaled contract yet.” Diallo averaged 10.8 points, 9.4 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in five Las Vegas summer-league games. He had 12 points and 10 rebounds in a 76-69 loss in the Pelicans’ summer-league finale versus the NBA Development League select team. “He has some skills right now that can translate to the NBA,” Pelicans director of player personnel David Booth said, just prior to summer league to nba.com. “Watching him in the predraft camp and the Hoops Summit in Portland, as well as the McDonald’s (high school) All-American game, the one thing we knew he can do right now in the NBA game is run the floor. He runs the floor like a deer. He’s the first one down on offense and defense. He can block a shot and still be the first guy down the floor. He can get a rebound and still beat everyone. I think his

KANSAS QUARTERBACK MONTELL COZART PLEADS FOR A ROUGHING-THE-PASSER CALL from an official after a failed third-down attempt during the fourth quarter of the Jayhawks’ game against Rutgers on Sept. 26, 2015, in Piscataway, N.J.

QB Cozart unfazed by criticism By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Fourth-year junior Montell Cozart has heard and seen just about everything during his days as a Kansas University football player. The loudest sounds have come from the doubters. From the euphoria of leading KU to a shocking Big 12 victory as a true freshman to being named the starter for the season opener twice only to fail to finish the seasons, once because of ineffectiveness and later because of injury, Cozart has put himself out there as the poster child for this era of Kansas football. And not everybody has always liked it. That the Bishop Miege High graduate keeps getting up and taking it is the reason his teammates follow him as

a leader and his coaches hold him up as an example for others. And that element of his character once again has put Cozart in the crossfire of all kinds of negativity and stinging comments from KU fans tired of watching the same scene play out year after year. “We’ve already seen what he can do,” the fans say. “He’s not a Big 12 quarterback,” the critics sing. Cozart, who has a strong presence on various socialmedia sites, hears every

word. But he has yet to let it bother him or alter the way he goes about his business. “Growing up as a competitor, you have those people who kind of talk down on you, and you use that as your motivation,” he said. “I don’t let that stuff bother me.” But that’s not to say that the negativity does not irk some of his teammates. “It really sucks to see,” junior linebacker Joe Dineen said. “But he just brushes it off. I’ve never seen it get to him. Not even once.” Cozart is currently locked

in a battle with sophomore Ryan Willis, among others, to become KU’s starting quarterback for the 2016 season. It’s a wide-open race at the moment and one that second-year coach David Beaty thinks will be incredibly competitive and carry on well into preseason camp. Up 10 pounds from last year’s playing weight and flourishing in the new offense now called by Beaty, Cozart is excited about the outlook for his fourth season as a Jayhawk and believes this will be his best season yet. Most KU fans don’t seem to see that on the horizon, and most of their skepticism is based on Cozart’s sluggish spring game back in April, during which he threw three Please see COZART, page 3C

Naquin, Indians rough up Kennedy, Royals

ROYALS MANAGER NED YOST, RIGHT, TAKES THE BALL from starting pitcher Ian Kennedy during the fifth inning of KC’s 11-4 loss to Cleveland on Wednesday in Kansas City, Mo.

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Ian Kennedy served up four home runs while striking out eight batters, all in less than five innings, which led the Royals pitcher to sum up his performance quite succinctly. “I don’t know if I’ve ever pitched that bad,” he said, “and got that many strikeouts.” The strikeout total was just about the only highlight in Kansas City’s 11-4 loss to AL Central-leading Cleveland on Wednesday. Tyler Naquin hit two of the Indians’ five home runs while driving in a career-best six runs, and Carlos Carrasco tossed six shutout innings in a dominant performance. “It was kind of a weird game,” Kennedy said.

“When I was falling behind guys, they made me pay for it. But every time I got ahead, I got outs. It was kind of weird.” Carrasco (7-3) only allowed one hit, a one-out double by Cheslor Cuthbert in the fourth he followed with back-to-back strikeouts. He walked two in the sixth for his only other baserunners. Mike Napoli, Jason Kipnis and Carlos Santana had the Indians’ other home runs. Kansas City scored all its runs off reliever Austin Adams in the eighth. “It’s not the way we planned the series to go,” said the Royals’ Eric Hosmer. “We’ve got to find some way to get hot and turn things around. We’re

just not getting it done right now.” The division-leading Indians, who are 4-5 against the hapless Minnesota Twins this season, improved to 26-8 against the rest of the AL Central. They are 8-5 against the Royals. “The Royals are really hard to play here,” Indians manager Terry Francona said. “We did a really good job here (two win two of three).” For the second day in a row, a first-inning homer — this time by Kipnis, his 16th — gave them instant offense. Naquin added a solo shot in the third before adding a two-run double in the fourth. Please see ROYALS, page 3C

The Associated Press

The good news for the Big 12 Conference is that there is no shortage of suitors. Commissioner Bob Bowlsby has been asked to start evaluating expansion candidates, and the league office should already have a stack of files from schools eager for a spot in the Power Five league. The announcement on Tuesday did not say the 10-member Big 12 is committed to expansion, but it is obvious where this is headed. Bowlsby and Oklahoma President David Boren, the chairman of the conference’s board of directors, noted plenty of schools have reached out to the Big 12, especially within the last year. Documents obtained by the Associated Press through open records requests show schools such as Connecticut, Cincinnati, UCF, Memphis, Colorado State and Houston have been touting themselves to Big 12 officials for months: n A letter sent from Central Florida’s President John Hitt to Texas President Gregory Fenves highlights a report that projects Orlando’s population growth over the next 10 years to be six times that of Cincinnati’s and 500 times that of Hartford, Conn. n A UConn student sent a report prepared by the school’s alumni to West Virginia athletic director Shane Lyons that points out the Storrs-based school provides access to TV markets (including New York and Boston) with potential to reach 11.7 million homes while the combined markets reached by Cincinnati, UCF, South Florida and Houston is 12.3 million homes. n Memphis President M. David Rudd touted the school’s effort to improve its status as a research institution and the backing of FedEx CEO and Memphis alum Fred Smith in a letter to Texas Tech interim president John Opperman. West Virginia President Gordon Gee, a member of the Big 12’s composition committee, received the same information from Memphis and responded with a thank you letter. “Very, very impressive,” Gee wrote back to Rudd. n Colorado State President Tony Frank mentioned getting the Big 12 back into the Denver market and that the football stadium expansion was “on time and on budget” in a separate email to Gee. “Indeed, Colorado State is making a statement and moving swiftly into the forefront of universities, not only regionally but nationally,” Gee responded in a letter to Frank dated July 21, 2015. n Houston President Renu Khator’s email to Gee had the subject line “TV ratings” and had a color-coded chart attached showing the 20 highestrated regular season games last season in Houston area. The Cougars had as many in the top 10 as the entire Big 12. The rest were SEC games. It’s easy to understand schools have not been shy about courting the Big 12. The league recently distributed $30 million payouts to its members for the most recently concluded school year. Most of that money comes from a 13-year television deal with ESPN and Fox that runs through 202425 and is worth $2.6 billion or more than $20 million per school per year. For perspective, the American Athletic Conference, home to Cincinnati, UConn, Memphis among others, is in the middle of a seven-year deal with ESPN and CBS that is worth $126 million or about $2 million per year per school.

ILNUR ZAKARIN RIDES DURING THE 17TH STAGE of the Tour de France between Bern and Finhaut-Emosson, Switzerland. Zakarin won Wednesday’s stage.

Zakarin takes stage; Froome increases lead Finhaut-Emosson, Switzerland — Ilnur Zakarin won the first Alpine stage of the Tour de France after using a late attack in the final climb on Wednesday while race leader Chris Froome increased his lead in the overall standings. Zakarin was part of a breakaway that formed early in the 184.5-kilometer (114.6-mile) 17th stage from Bern to the artificial lake of FinhautEmosson in Switzerland. After Rafal Majka and Jarlinson Pantano moved away from the leading pack on the descent of Col de la Forclaz, the Russian cyclist caught them and launched a furious attack on the last climb with 6.5 kilometers left. It was Zakarin’s first stage win at cycling’s biggest event. “This result is not a surprise for me, in the first week I also tried to go for it,” said Zakarin, who fractured a collarbone earlier this year at the Giro d’Italia after crashing in a downhill. Zakarin, who was suspended in 2009 for two years after testing positive for the forbidden anabolic methandienone, finished 55 seconds ahead of Pantano. Majka was third, 1:26 back. Riding several minutes behind the breakaway riders, Richie Porte attacked from the yellow jersey group around two kilometers from the finish before Froome accelerated. Nairo Quintana was the only one able to follow the defending champion’s frenetic pace, but the Colombian climber cracked after a few hundred meters. Froome and Porte — who rode in support of Froome at Team Sky before he joined BMC this season — crossed the finish line together. Froome, the 2013 and 2015 champion at the Tour, now leads Bauke Mollema by 2:27 overall. Adam Yates is third, 2:53 off the pace. Quintana sits in fourth place, 3:27 behind his British rival.

BASEBALL

Cubs trade for Montgomery Chicago — The Cubs added bullpen help Wednesday by acquiring left-hander Mike Montgomery from the Seattle Mariners for first baseman and designated hitter Dan Vogelbach. Chicago also obtained right-handed prospect Jordan Pries in the deal. Right-hander Paul Blackburn also goes to Seattle. The 27-year-old Montgomery has a 2.34 ERA in two starts and 30 relief appearances with the Mariners this season. The former first round pick of Kansas City was traded to Tampa Bay in the 2012 James Shields deal, when the Cubs’ Joe Maddon was managing Tampa Bay. Maddon described Montgomery as “big lefthander with a very good arm.” Cubs president Theo Epstein and GM Jed Hoyer were looking for a boost in the bullpen with Travis Wood and Clayton Richard the only healthy left-handers. The NL Central leading-Cubs are likely to seek more reinforcements as they aim for the club’s first World Series title since 1908. Vogelbach, 23, was hitting .318 with 16 homers and 64 RBIs in 89 games for Triple-A Iowa.

The Cubs selected Vogelbach in the second round of the 2011 amateur draft. Pries, 26, had a 4.93 ERA in Double-A Jackson and Triple-A Tacoma this season. The 22-year-old Blackburn had a 3.17 ERA in 18 starts with Double-A Tennessee.

Greinke: Progress too slow Phoenix — Arizona Diamondbacks ace Zack Greinke is making slow progress in his return from injury, too slow for his liking. “It would have been nice to be back a week ago,” he said before Wednesday’s game against Toronto, his first public comments since he went on the disabled list July 3 because of a left oblique strain. Greinke was to try to throw off the mound “nice and easy” later Wednesday, manager Chip Hale said, “then probably the first full bullpen will be in a couple of days.” Greinke had rounded into his usual form in a series of starts before the injury, reeling off seven consecutive victories. He is 10-3 with a 3.62 ERA. Asked if he was frustrated by the injury, Greinke said, “That’s a perfect word.” “It took a lot more time,” he said. “It’s just a bad injury where you have to wait for it to heal before doing stuff. I’m used to having stuff bother me all the time and just going through it. But with this one, you can’t do that or else it gets worse.” Greinke was hurt when he hit a sacrifice fly early in a June 28 game against Philadelphia. He left the game after feeling something wrong when he returned to the mound the next inning.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Attorney: NCAA too late Jackson, Miss. — An attorney for former Southern Mississippi basketball coach Donnie Tyndall said the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions missed its deadline to respond to the coach’s appeal in the case. Don Jackson said in a motion that because the NCAA missed its Tuesday deadline, any response from the committee should be denied. It also requests that all previous penalties against Tyndall be dropped. The NCAA disagrees with Jackson’s assessment. NCAA spokeswoman Emily James said in an email response to the Associated Press that the committee “did not miss its deadline for the filing.” She said she could not elaborate because of the membership’s confidentiality rules. The NCAA gave Tyndall a 10-year showcause penalty in April after the governing body ruled the former Southern Miss coach orchestrated academic fraud designed to land recruits as well as other misconduct that included trying to cover up payments to athletes and potential evidence. Tyndall was fired as Tennessee’s coach in March 2015 due to the possibility the NCAA might penalize him. The NCAA ruled in April that Tyndall “acted unethically and failed to promote an atmosphere for compliance when he directed his staff to engage in academic misconduct” while coaching at Southern Miss from 2012-14.

CLEVELAND’S FRANCISCO LINDOR IS HIT BY A PITCH from Kansas City starting pitcher Ian Kennedy during the fifth inning of the Indians’ 11-4 victory on Wednesday in Kansas City, Mo.

Royals CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

Cleveland put away the game with a seven-run fifth. With a heat index of 105 degrees at first pitch, Carrasco coolly sliced up a Kansas City offense that scored seven runs in a single inning in the opener. The right-hander retired 17 of the first 18 batters he faced around his lone single, and he struck out six while throwing just 84 pitches. He won for the fifth time in six outings and improved to 6-1 in eight starts in Kansas City. Kennedy wound up allowing seven runs and six hits in 41⁄3 innings for the Royals. It was a rare poor start for him at Kauffman Stadium; he entered the game with an AL-best 2.11 ERA at home.

Presidential visit The Royals will meet President Barack Obama at the White House today during a ceremony to honor their World Series title. It will be the fifth president that manager Ned Yost has met: Jimmy Carter and George Bush used to come to Braves games when Yost coached in Atlanta, George W.

stamina and ability to run the floor, along with his energy and competitiveness, is something he can bring on Day 1 in the NBA. “I think he was more thought of as a shotblocker and an energy big,” Booth added of Diallo at KU. “But something we saw was he has a nice left- and right-hand jump hook. He has a decent face-up game. He’s a better offensive player than people give him credit

interceptions and nearly tossed two more. “That does not reflect in the tiniest bit how he played during the spring,” Dineen said of his QB’s off day. “It just sucks because that one was in front of people.” Added Cozart, who now weighs 205 pounds and says he feels just as fast and elusive as ever: “I found myself forcing a lot of things that I wouldn’t ever do (that day). ... Throw that one out. Scratch that out the book. Rip it out. “We have this new offense that I do feel like will suit me better than in the past and give me the chance to use my talents to the best of my ability. And I’m just excited to get back out there and play football.” If he does that to the level that inspired Beaty to call his performance this spring “phenomenal” earlier this week at Big 12 media days in Dallas, then fans of Kansas football finally may get to see the side of Cozart that he and his teammates believe is there. If not? It could be more of the same, with Cozart sent to the bench and Twitter abuzz with fans insisting he can’t play. “Our guys know quarterback is no different for us than it is to play defensive tackle,” Beaty said. “You get what you earn. ... So I’m not saying that we will pull ’em quick, because I do believe that quarterbacks have to work their way through things. But they know if they exemplify characteristics that are not common to what we expect there, the next guy is going to get a shot.”

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Ramirez tags three Nationals 8, Dodgers 1 Washington — Bryce Harper led an offensive outburst with a towering home run into the third deck in right field as Washington beat Los Angeles.

The Associated Press

Interleague Red Sox 11, Giants 7 Boston — Hanley Ramirez homered three times and drove in a career-high six runs, and Boston held on to defeat San Francisco on Wednesday night even though newly acquired starter Drew Pomeranz struggled to protect an eight-run lead. Boston won for the eighth time in nine games and moved into first place in the AL East, a half-game ahead of the Baltimore Orioles. Ramirez also reached base when he was hit by a pitch in the fourth, glowering at Giants reliever Albert Suarez before the umpire quickly warned both benches. With the crowd chanting Ramirez’s name for his final at-bat in the eighth, he grounded out weakly to the pitcher. Ramirez began the day with eight home runs this season.
