Judge to monitor Kansas’ actions on gay marriage

By John Hanna Associated Press

COURTS

Topeka — A federal judge told Kansas on Friday that for three more years he will monitor its

compliance with the U.S. Supreme Court’s historic decision legalizing gay marriage across the nation.

U.S. District Judge Daniel Crabtree issued a permanent order Friday barring

the state from treating samesex couples differently than opposite-sex couples in allowing them to marry or extending “other rights, protections, obligations or benefits of marriage” to them.

“It’s a shame that the court had to spell this out,” said Joshua Block, a senior attorney with the American Civil Liberties Please see MARRIAGE, page 2A

Topeka — The Kansas Supreme Court on Friday upheld the conviction and death sentence of Scott Cheever, the man who shot and killed Greenwood County Sheriff Matt Samuels during a drug raid in 2005.

It was only the second time the state’s high court has upheld a death Cheever sentence since Kansas reinstated capital punishment in 1994.

And the decision comes amid intense political scrutiny of the court during an election year in which the Kansas Republican Party has openly called for four of the seven Supreme Court justices to not be retained this year, in part over controversy stemming from earlier death penalty cases.

In 2012, the court initially overturned Cheever’s conviction and death sentence, saying in part that the trial court in Greenwood County violated his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination by allowing evidence to be introduced from a court-ordered psychiatric examination.

The court said the testimony of Dr. Michael Welner should never have been admitted. It did not address the question of whether Welner’s testimony unfairly influenced the jury.

But the U.S. Supreme Court the following year reversed the Kansas court in a unanimous opinion Please see DEATH, page 2A

coordinator, said so far there’s been a “healthy skepticism” about the program.

“It’s almost too good to be true,” she said. “Basically, they can turn $25 into $50 to spend at the market. It feels good to have families be able to afford healthy food.”

In June, the U.S. Department of Agriculture awarded $2.9 million for the program to a coalition in Kansas and Missouri. The Douglas County Sustainability Department is a subcontractor that’s tasked with using $218,000 in grant money — $471,000 total with matching funds — to oversee the program in eastern Kansas over the next three years.

The grant funding will be used to provide the match at farmers markets, for marketing and to bring on a full-time position to coordinate it all.

The city, county, community foundations and other groups in the eastern half of Kansas provided the matching funds.

Besides being a benefit to those using SNAP, the program will also bring new customers to farmers markets, Horn said, which now compete with large grocery stores that

There are plans to establish the match program at rural grocery stores in eastern Kansas.

Horn also wants to eventually reach out to Wichita, a city that contends with the “urban food desert phenomenon,” Horn said. Wichita has six markets that could offer the program.

Douglas County is taking the lead on organizing the program in other Kansas counties, Horn said, because Douglas County leaders “understand the local food system boundary doesn’t just stop at the county boundary.”

“When they think about our local food economy, they recognize that it’s the eaters outside of the county that eat at our restaurants, and it’s the farmers outside of Douglas County that produce and sell to our grocery stores and restaurants,” Horn said. “So food access issues, increasing access to healthy food and supporting farmers can’t just be a county level initiative — it has to be regional.”

Union, a lawyer involved in the lawsuit that led to the order.

A spokeswoman for Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt did not immediately return telephone and email messages seeking comment.

Crabtree ruled in a lawsuit filed in 2014 by five gay and lesbian couples against officials in the state’s health and revenue departments, as well as two local court clerks.

The health department maintains marriage and birth records, while the Department of Revenue handles tax filings and issues driver’s licenses.

Kansas law already barred gay marriage when the state’s voters in 2005 approved an amendment to the state constitution to reinforce the ban. The amendment declared that only het-

actions means aggrieved couples will not have to file new lawsuits — resolving their complaints far more quickly.

The judge specifically cited the state’s handling of birth certificates for children conceived through artificial insemination for samesex couples. Crabtree said one couple initially faced additional steps not required of oppositesex couples to get both names listed as parents and that later officials +12 cents, $4.19 gave conflicting information about a change in the department’s practices.

erosexual couples were entitled to “the rights or incidents of marriage.”

The U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision on gay marriage last year, and two months later Crabtree declared the state’s ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional. But he held off on issuing a permanent order to see how fully the state complied.

Republican Gov. Sam Brownback and many members of the GOPdominated Legislature strongly supported the ban and have been vocal critics of the Supreme Court’s order. The Kansas Republican Party’s platform declares that “traditional marriage is the foundation of society.”

Crabtree wrote in his 33-page order that while the state took steps to follow the U.S. Supreme Court ruling, it did not comply fully and its conduct “raises doubts about the reliability” of its efforts. His decision to continue monitoring Kansas’

It also said none of the other issues that Cheever’s attorneys raised on appeal warranted reversing the verdict or death sentence.

Justice Lee Johnson, who is also not up for retention this year, wrote a dissenting opinion saying he believes the death penalty violates the Kansas Constitution’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment.

Attorney General Derek Schmidt said Friday’s ruling probably marks the end of the first phase of Cheever’s appeals.

AG Schmidt suing to obtain Gitmo planning records

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said Friday that he is suing the Obama administration to obtain records about its plans for transferring detainees from a U.S. facility at Guantanamo Bay, and he suggested the administration is Schmidt withholding those documents for political advantage.

The lawsuit was filed Friday in federal court in Kansas. It names the U.S. Department of Defense as the defendant.

In a news release, Schmidt said he first filed a request under the federal Freedom of Information Act in December and that the administration acknowledged it has some of the records. But he said the Department of Defense is now refusing to release the records until Nov. 15, a week after the general election.

“The Obama administration now claims it will not transfer detainees to the mainland, but we want to verify this claim because it appears the administration previously

Elect

violated a federal ban on even preparing for such a transfer,” Schmidt said.

“Our concerns are heightened because the administration admits it has the records we requested and initially promised to produce them but now are inexplicably dragging their feet until after the November election,” he said. “We are seeking some court-ordered sunshine now to discourage mischief later in the final weeks before the president leaves office.”

The U.S. has been detaining suspects of being “enemy combatants” at Guantanamo since the invasion of Afghanistan in 2002 during the George W. Bush administration.

People detained there are technically not considered prisoners of war and so are not protected by international treaties.

And because the prison is not on U.S. soil, the Bush administration initially claimed the prisoners did not enjoy the same constitutional protections that prisoners here would have, including the right to a speedy Please see GITMO, page 4A

The invitation came after Ramsay met with local activist leaders about replacing another planned protest with a

cookout that aimed to open a dialogue. Nearly 2,000 people attended Sunday’s event.

Ramsay said that he believes some people may question the motive behind the cookout and wondering whether it was a way to placate protesters. He said the point of the gathering was to have face-to-face conversations with concerned citizens.

“People don’t really have a lot of police contact. When they do, it’s

when something bad’s going on: a ticket or an arrest.”

Some local community organizers have mixed feelings about the national attention the cookout has received.

Cooper Overstreet argued, however, that Richardson was not justified in entering the home and questioned his ability to recall what happened inside the home.

Richardson’s testimony was “motivated by justifying his actions after the fact,” Overstreet said.

However, Melton argued that Richardson’s actions were not a question for the jury to decide. Rather, the jury’s task was to determine

whether Ortiz committed an assault in leveling the shotgun.

The Douglas County District Attorney’s Office determined in July 2014 that Richardson’s use of force in shooting Ortiz was justified.

After he was shot, Ortiz was flown to Kansas University Hospital in Kansas City, Kan., where he was treated for his injuries.

After more than two hours of deliberation Friday the jury found Ortiz

guilty of the single felony charge of aggravated assault of a law enforcement officer.

Accepting the jury’s verdict, Douglas County District Court Judge Peggy Kittel ordered the completion of a pre-sentence investigation and scheduled Ortiz to appear in court at 3:30 p.m.

constitutional protections.

Nevertheless, the continued practice of detaining suspected terrorists there has drawn international criticism. During his first campaign for president, Barack Obama vowed to close the prison, releasing those who were no longer deemed a threat and transferring

the remaining detainees to U.S. prisons, possibly including the military prison at Fort Leavenworth.

But Congress has refused to allow that. In military budget bills passed in both 2014 and 2015, Congress specifically prohibited the use of federal funds either to transfer or assist in the

transfer of Guantanamo Bay detainees.

Those appropriation bills also prohibited the use of federal funds to construct or modify any facility for the purpose of housing Guantanamo Bay detainees.

Despite that, Schmidt alleges in the lawsuit, the Defense Department in 2015 sent survey

teams to various alternative sites, including Fort Leavenworth, to determine whether they would be suitable to house the Guantanamo Bay detainees.

An estimated 780 people have been detained at the facility since 2002.

Most of those have since been released without charges while about 76

Community organizer Djuan Wash said the cookout “was to provide an opportunity for the chief to address the reforms he intends to make.”

Ramsay urged police departments around the nation in a recorded Facebook Live post to hold events similar to the one held in his city.

“It shows you the power of face-to-face discussion and getting to know each other when there’s not a crisis,” Ramsay said.

According to Ramsay, other police chiefs have voiced concerns about hosting a cookout because of a current perception of “us against them.”

Lawrence city commissioners on Aug. 9 will discuss two large upcoming road projects on Kasold Drive and Wakarusa Drive.

In his recommended 2017 budget, City Manager Tom Markus is proposing funding the reconstruction of Kasold Drive from Sixth Street to Bob Billings Parkway and Wakarusa from Inverness Drive to Harvard Road. Commissioners will review designs for both projects — but not vote on them — during an Aug. 9 study session at City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St. As is, the 2017 capital improvement plan allocates $5 million for the Kasold Drive project and $3 million for Wakarusa.

Last fall, the city heard from dozens of residents off Kasold Drive with concerns about its reconstruction. The city is proposing two options for the project, one of which is a “typical street” option calling for four 11-foot traffic lanes and a center turn lane.

It includes the installation of a traffic signal at the Harvard-Kasold intersection.

The other option, and the one recommended by city staff, is a “Complete Street” design allowing for a buffer — 3 feet wide — between a 12-foot traffic lane and an 8-foot bike lane. It also includes a roundabout at the intersection of Harvard and Kasold.

Cut in state virtual school funding felt in Lawrence district’s budget

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

One in 10 students enrolled in the Lawrence school district attend the district’s online school, meaning that the Kansas Legislature’s recent reduction in state aid for virtual schools amounts to a significant loss in funds for the district.

Of the $2.8 million that was cut statewide from virtual schools’ budgets at a special Legislative session in June, more than $440,000 was pulled from funding that the Lawrence district expected to receive and could have used toward its general budget expenses.

“It would have just been built into the budget picture to help make

things work until there’s new funding, hopefully, down the road,” said Kathy Johnson, the district’s director of finance.

Unlike funding for regular students, aid for virtual students is calculated on a per-pupil basis. Prior to the changes made in the special session, the amount of money districts receive per full-time virtual student was expected to increase by $600. As a result of that rate increase as well as an increase of about 40 virtual students, Lawrence expected to receive $440,225 in new money for next school year.

“That didn’t occur,” Johnson said. “With the special session, they decided to stay at the 2016 funding level.”

As the district prepares to release its budget proposal for the upcoming school year on Monday, those additional funds could have made a difference. Similar to last school year’s budget, the district’s budget plan for the upcoming school year will likely include deficit spending as well as some reductions in staffing.

“So it’s possible through the budget planning that maybe some of the cuts could have been different had we realized those dollars, and/or just applied to the deficit spending,” Johnson said.

The Lawrence Virtual School is one of only 13 district-affiliated K-12 virtual schools in Kansas, and serves more than 1,200 students. LVS is

The city is warning that smoke could enter homes through defective plumbing or drain traps. If it does, residents are asked to ventilate the room and contact the crews doing the testing. To prevent smoke from coming in, the city suggests pouring water and a bit of vegetable oil into seldom-used drains.

KU team hunting T. rex backed by crowdfunding

By Mará Rose Williams Associated Press

It had been a long day baking in the 100-degree sun and digging in the dry Montana earth, the end of a four-week paleontological dig last summer.

Then one of David Burnham’s graduate students spotted a dinosaur bone in the rock.

Burnham, paleontologist, finder and preparer of fossils, had been ready to pack up and head home with his team of students and volunteers, back to Hannah Quinteros, the University of Kansas. landscaping, “Thrilling” is how Lawrence Burnham described the “About 50-50. But the unearthing.

ResearchWorld Series, that’s a 0 ers, he said, sometimes percent chance.” can dig for 10 to 12 hours a day, for days, without finding a thing.

“It can be frustrating.”

Not this time.

“I knew the minute I saw it that it was a toe bone. A Tyrannosaurus rex’s toe bone,” Burnham said.

There was no better way to end the excavation, he said. The money for the dig had run out, and they were heading Chris Hughes, home the next morning, works at Rally House, He was certain more of Lawrence that T. rex foot, more of the “I’d say about a 40 whole monstrous creature, percent chance.” was there in a hole where the grad student had been digging. Earlier expeditions had found about 15 percent of the specimen’s bones, and now there suddenly was hope the rest would be uncovered.

Jill Toyoshiba/The Kansas City Star via AP

KANSAS UNIVERSITY PALEONTOLOGIST DAVID BURNHAM holds a Tyrannosaurus rex rib bone June 15 in the department lab on the KU campus. The university is acquiring a Tyrannosaurus rex and funding the dig through crowdsourcing.

Canada, the Hell Creek formation runs through Montana, the Dakotas and Wyoming. Owned by the Bureau of Land Management, it’s world famous among scientists. Geologists and paleontologists have found a bounty of 66-million-year-old animal and plant fossils there.

It is where, in 1895, University of Kansas alumnus Barnum Brown, who at the time was an assistant curator for the department of vertebrate paleontology at the American Museum of Natural History, dug up the first T. rex fossil.

And get this — the first part of T. rex that Brown found? Yup, it was a toe bone.

That very bone digit is now displayed at the Kansas University Natural History Museum, a part of the KU Biodiversity Institute and where Burnham works.

Missing pieces Weeks before leaving for this summer’s dig, Burnham descended the metal steps to his lab in the belly of the museum.

The lab appears to be a disorganized mass of animal fossil finds — some encased in plaster, some resting in white jewelry-

size boxes, others lying naked on a wooden work table that runs the length of the space.

Fossils share the table with dental picks, X-Acto knives, pickaxes and various brushes.

Throughout the place, precisely pieced-together skeletons of the dinosaurian community perch on shelves and towering file cabinets. Replicas of small birdlike dinosaurs dangle on wires from the ceiling.

Already displayed in glass-covered cases in the upstairs museum is the 15 percent of the T. rex found on two previous trips — leg, ribs and foot bones discovered by the KU team and other parts of a jaw, a skull and pelvis bones found even earlier by a field crew from the Saint Louis Science Center, which then passed the dig site to KU to complete the find.

That toe bone the grad student found? It fit “like Cinderella’s slipper” to a foot piece found earlier, Burnham said.

If Burnham and his crew find the rest of the bones encased in the Montana rock, it will bring KU’s relationship with T. rex full circle.

Burnham could give the university its first full T. rex, making KU

one of only a handful of universities in the country to have the big, bad, flesh-eating beast under its roof.

For the record, T. rex is one of the largest theropods — that means beast-footed — that ever existed.

The hope is that it will be the only T. rex with skull intact in Missouri or Kansas. The Museum of World Treasures in Wichita has the body of a T. rex that it bought in 2007 for display.

But what Burnham and his seven-person crew are doing is more science than show.

“We are giving this animal context,” Burnham said. “We are doing the whole picture. Taking not just the bones, but everything we find with it, plants, soil, revealing the depository environment.

It’s huge.”

“It’s a window into time. It’s a time capsule, and we get to open it up and go through it page by page, to step into their world.”

And the prize, Burnham said, would be to find even one of the ferocious creature’s puny, two-fingered forearms.

Full forearms have not been found, Burnham said. Finding any portion of them, he said, is rare.

Crowdsourcing help A dig like this is expensive. To pay for it, KU launched a crowdfunding effort.

By the time the team arrived in Montana on July 3, it was just $700 shy of the $16,700 needed to pay for a three-week dig.

Photos of the team back on the dig site, displayed on Facebook, pushed the crowdfunding campaign more than $7,000 over the top.

Crowdsourcing for such expeditions is gain-

ing popularity among research institutions.

When KU Endowment, the independent fundraising arm of the institution, approved crowdsourcing as another tool for small-scale fundraising, Jen Humphrey, director of external affairs for the university’s Biodiversity Institute & Museum of Natural History, waited for just the right project to test it.

“I wanted something with broad public appeal,” Humphrey said.

“Everybody loves dinosaurs. I also wanted it to be a project that could reach out to people not so familiar with our museum.

“I think crowdfunding succeeds best in the $3,000 to $5,000 range,” Humphrey said. “People who don’t have much to give can still contribute. A $20 here or $50 there adds up.”

‘The smoking gun’ Burnham’s team has already made some significant scientific breakthroughs at Hell Creek formation in South Dakota.

In 2013, Burnham and a KU team of paleontologists unearthed the first physical proof that T. rex was definitely a flesh-eating hunter and killer.

Believe it or not, until that find, scientists weren’t all so sure. Ever since the giant creature was discovered, scientists have debated whether it was a predator or a scavenger.

But Burnham and his team found proof when they unearthed the crown of a T. rex tooth — nearly a foot long — lodged in the fossilized spine of a planteating hadrosaur that had survived the attack.

“We found the smoking gun,” he said. “We now know the monster in our dreams is real.”

Dear Annie: I graduated college earlier this year, and after six months on the job hunt, I am finally employed full time at a large nonprofit as one of the receptionists.

The problem is that I share the front desk with another woman and she is getting on my nerves. She’s been working at this job for almost three years, and I don’t see her going anywhere any time soon. Sharing a desk with her is becoming unbearable, and it’s only been a few months. She will hum throughout the day, tap her pen loudly on the desk while on the phone and chew obnoxiously while snacking. She doesn’t seem to notice her habits.

When I’ve brought up the humming, she says she’ll try to stop, but

Several shows end their runs Tonight brings an end to several series. CBS has been burning off episodes of the canceled “Angel From Hell” (TV-PG) for some weeks now, and the series, starring the irrepressible Jane Lynch, concludes with two very familiar story lines regarding an answering machine mishap (7 p.m.) and the wobbly anticipation of a walk down the aisle (7:30 p.m.).

An unaired episode of “Rush Hour” (8 p.m., CBS, TV-14) follows. That moviefranchise reboot has also been canceled, so look for the network to burn this off on subsequent Saturdays. l The epic Western series “Hell on Wheels” (8 p.m., AMC, TV-14) lasted five seasons and becomes that rare show with a conclusion that makes historical sense. “Hell” culminates with the driving of the golden spike linking railway lines and completing a herculean act of transcontinental transportation — and ending a gold rush opportunity for the adventurers and grifters who have populated this series. l HBO had every right to ax “Looking” after its largely unwatched second season. But the network has allowed its creators to wrap up its story with “Looking: The Movie” (9 p.m.). As I wrote in an earlier review, “It’s a bit unfair to call ‘Looking’ the ‘Girls’ for gay men, but it shares that series’ penchant for turning a cinematic look at the dating scene into a grim cautionary tale.”

And I suggested that both series ask viewers “to spend large chunks of time with insecure narcissists.”

“Looking” is/was also plagued by some pretty obvious dialogue. Banter over rice balls at a Chinese restaurant inspires double entendres that would not tax the sophistication of a seventh-grader.

Washington — The main purpose of the modern political convention is to produce four days of televised propaganda.

The subsidiary function, now that nominees are invariably chosen in advance, is structural: Unify the party before the final battle. In Cleveland, the Republicans achieved not unity, but only a rough facsimile.

The internal opposition consisted of two factions. The more flamboyant was led by Ted Cruz.

Its first operation — an undermanned, underplanned, minirebellion over convention rules — was ruthlessly steamrolled on Day One. Its other operation was Cruz’s Wednesday night con-

“

The other faction of the anti-Trump opposition was far more subtle. These are the leaders of the party’s congressional wing who’ve offered public allegiance to Trump while remaining privately unreconciled.”

vention speech in which, against all expectation, he refused to endorse Donald Trump.

It’s one thing to do this offsite. It’s another thing to do it as a guest at a celebration of the man you are rebuking.

Cruz left the stage to a cascade of boos, having delivered the longest suicide note in American political history. If Cruz fancied himself following Ronald Reagan in 1976, the runner-up who overshadowed the party nominee in a rousing convention speech that propelled him four years later to the nomination, he might reflect on the fact that Reagan endorsed Gerald Ford.

Cruz’s rebellion would have a stronger claim to conscience had he not obsequiously accom-

modated himself to Trump during the first six months of the campaign. Cruz reinforced that impression of political calculation when, addressing the Texas delegation Thursday morning, he said that “I am not in the habit of supporting people who attack my wife and attack my father.”

That he should feel so is not surprising. What is surprising is that he said this publicly, thus further undermining his claim to acting on high principle.

The other faction of the antiTrump opposition was far more subtle. These are the leaders of the party’s congressional wing who’ve offered public allegiance to Trump while remaining privately unreconciled.

You could feel the reluctance of these latter-day Marranos in the speeches of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan.

McConnell’s pitch, as always, was practical and direct. We’ve got things to achieve in the Senate. Obama won’t sign. Clinton won’t sign. Trump will.

Very specific, very instrumental. Trump will be our enabler, an instrument of the governing (or if you prefer, establishment) wing of the party.

This is mostly fantasy and rationalization, of course. And good manners by a party leader obliged to maintain a common

front. The problem is that Trump will not allow himself to be the instrument of anyone else’s agenda. Moreover, the Marranos necessarily ignore the most important role of a president, conducting foreign and military policy abroad, which is almost entirely in his hands.

Ryan was a bit more philosophical. He presented the reformicon agenda, dubbed the Better Way, for which he too needs a Republican in the White House.

Ryan pointedly kept his genuflections to the outsider-king to a minimum: exactly two references to Trump, to be precise.

Moreover, in defending his conservative philosophy, he noted that at its heart lies “respect and empathy” for “all neighbors and countrymen” because “everyone is equal, everyone has a place” and “no one is written off.” Not exactly Trump’s Manichaean universe of winners and losers, natives and foreigners (including judges born and bred in Indiana).

Together, McConnell and Ryan made clear that if Trump wins, they are ready to cooperate. And if Trump loses, they are ready to inherit.

The loyalist (i.e., Trumpian) case had its own stars. It was most brilliantly presented by the ever-fluent Newt Gingrich, the best natural orator in either

party, whose presentation of Trumpism had a coherence and economy of which Trump is incapable.

Vice presidential nominee Mike Pence gave an affecting, self-deprecating address that managed to bridge his traditional conservatism with Trump’s insurgent populism.

He managed to make the merger look smooth, even natural.

Rudy Giuliani gave the most energetic loyalist address, a rousing law-and-order manifesto, albeit at an excitement level that surely alarmed his cardiologist.

And Chris Christie’s prosecutorial indictment of Hillary Clinton for crimes of competence and character was doing just fine until he went to the audience after each charge for a call-and-response of “guilty or not guilty.” The frenzied response was a reminder as to why trials are conducted in a courtroom and not a coliseum.

On a cheerier note, there were the charming preambles at the roll call vote, where each state vies to out-boast the other. Connecticut declared itself home to “Pez, nuclear submarines and ... WWE.” God bless the United States.

Wishes, needs

Nevertheless we like him.

His speeches ring with fear and rage, He has no use for the minimum wage, He treats the world as his private stage, Nevertheless we’re for him.

(PS: To avoid any implications of plagiarism, it should be noted that the above is a paraphrase of a poem from the 1930s

by Ogden Nash. He was satirizing the report of President Hoover’s Commission on Prohibition. So, take that, Melania.)

Jeff Southard, Lawrence

To the editor: The July 13 front-page headline read “Commissioners, public criticize proposed budget cuts.”

Lawrence seems to be a city which is unable to differentiate between a “want” and a “need.”

Need I say more? We hired Tom Markus to do a tough job. I’m glad he has the guts to tackle difficult issues. I support him!

The front page article on July 14 was, “Citizens’ park, rec wish list revealed.” If I recall correctly, in the early ’90s, a 1/4cent sales tax was put in place for parks and recreation, which is still in place. If the money isn’t there, then it can’t be done.

To the editor: Wishes are not needs!

Silly, scary To the editor: Like many of you, I watched the much-anticipated Donald Trump acceptance speech Thursday night and found it both scary and silly, equal parts dystopia, strongman, xenophobe, trickle-down economics, trade protectionism and big government/big spending liberalism.

The best summary was by Andrew Sullivan — Everything is terrible. I alone can solve. Just don’t ask me how. — or, as Ber-

of Jennings, Mo., “agreed last year to a settlement (with the U.S. Department of Justice) over its jailing practices, which ended the system of putting people in jail for unpaid fines, got rid of the use of cash bail and required the court to set up a payment plan for a person who owes a fine, depending on the person’s ability to pay.” It is possible our municipal and district courts can adopt some of the new practices the city of Jennings has put into place. The goal should be to keep people from re-offending and not punishing them with jail for relatively minor offenses.

nie Sanders tweeted, “Is he running for president or dictator?”

That was the scary part. The silly part was how few specific policy proposals he offered. He pledged to spend vast amounts in rebuilding our infrastructure, expanding our military, increasing care for our veterans, expanding the war against ISIS and reducing college debt. His daughter added in making affordable child care available to all.

At the same time, he proposes a $9 trillion tax cut, mostly to the wealthy, as usual.

It’s not clear where all this money comes from, but he seems to imply that all we need to do is cancel and renegotiate all our trade deals, which would surely take many years, increase the cost of almost everything and likely produce a recession or even a worldwide depression, and hit up our NATO partners for protection money in exchange for a promise to not abandon the alliance which has contained Russia since World War II. Comes to think of it. I don’t know if that’s silly or scary or both. Perhaps the scary part is how many people believe a word he says.

Hillary Clinton and U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia appeared together at a campaign rally in Annandale, Va., on July 14.

Is a hot dog a sandwich?

Heidi M. Przybyla USA TODAY

Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia is Hillary Clinton’s pick to be her running mate on the Democratic Party’s ticket for the White House, Clinton said in an email announcement sent to supporters Friday.

Kaine, a former governor, has “devoted his life to fighting for others,” Clinton’s announcement said.

The 58-year-old Kaine had been the focus of increasing speculation in recent days, as Clinton insiders said that former President Bill Clinton, the presumptive nominee’s husband, was backing Kaine.

of Americans think it is not; 41% think it is.

NOTE The National Sausage Council says it’s not; Merriam-Webster dictionary says it is.

SOURCE Hebrew National survey of 1,000 adults MICHAEL B. SMITH AND VERONICA BRAVO, USA TODAY

The Clinton team had been high on Kaine from the start because of his extensive governing experience — he is a former governor, lieutenant governor and Richmond mayor.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, a former Iowa governor, had reportedly been on the short list.

Clinton campaign officials did not respond to a request for comment.

Clinton headed to Florida on Friday for a series of events that include the introduction of her running mate ahead of the Democratic National Convention,

which kicks off Monday.

As a member of the Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees, Kaine will add to the Democratic ticket’s national security credentials, which could already tout Clinton’s tenure as secretary of State.

The presumptive Democratic nominee had been weighing whether she needed a more outspoken liberal on her ticket to satisfy the Bernie Sanders wing of the party. Yet with polls showing Sanders voters moving toward v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Trump gets cash boost from GOP nomination, raises $4M in a day Fredreka Schouten

59%

With her running mate announcement, Clinton looks to seize the campaign spotlight back from Trump.

CLEVELAND This week’s Republican National Convention helped send a torrent of new cash into Donald Trump’s campaign.

Donors contributed more than $4 million Thursday as the realestate tycoon accepted his party’s nomination, Paul Manafort, the campaign’s chairman, tweeted early Friday morning.

“Way to go #TrumpTrain!!!”

he wrote.

Trump has boosted his efforts to collect online donations as he races to compete with Democrat Hillary Clinton’s well-established fundraising network. The campaign previously touted raising $3.5 million online in a 24-hour period, tied to Indiana Gov. Mike Pence’s speech Wednesday to the convention crowd.

The campaign said it has added more than 750,000 new donors since launching its digital fundraising operation a month ago.

Trump, who largely self-fi-

nanced his campaign during the GOP primary, posted his best fundraising month of the election in June, collecting more than $26 million. His campaign also is moving aggressively to win the support of big donors who can write large checks to an independent group backing his bid.

Pence and Manafort voiced support this week for a super PAC called Rebuilding America Now, a sharp reversal from Trump’s earlier denunciations of these free-spending political committees.

Police declared an “acute terrorist situation” Friday in Munich and shut down traffic and rail service in the southern German city after a gunman went on a shooting rampage at a shopping mall, killing at least nine people.

Police said a 10th body was found at the scene of the attack.

The body was that of the shooter and he appeared to have acted alone, officials told the Associated Press and Reuters.

Munich police chief Hubertus Andraes says the suspect is an 18year-old German-Iranian from Munich.

Andraes said at a news conference that the attacker’s motive was still “fully unclear.”

Witnesses had reported seeing three men with firearms near the Olympia Einkaufszentrum mall, but police said on Twitter that “as

part of our manhunt we found a person who had killed himself — the person is likely to have been the attacker who, according to the current state of the investigation, acted alone.”

Major roads in the Bavarian city were largely empty as special police teams swarmed the area and helicopters carrying snipers swept over rooftops looking for as many as three perpetrators carrying long guns.

“We are categorizing this as a terror attack only in our response of freeing up the largest possible force to handle the situation,” Police spokesman Marcus da Gloria Martins told reporters.

Horst Seehofer, prime minister of the state of Bavaria, and Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann scheduled a crisis meeting at the State Chancellery in Munich.

Details of the shooting were unclear, but witnesses indicated it began at a McDonald’s in the mall.

Back home in Japan, Pokémon Go finds success is unreal Given USA incidents, players get safety tips Kirk Spitzer USA TODAY

The wildly popular Pokémon Go augmented reality game finally arrived in Japan on Friday, and not a minute too soon for hometown fans.

The free app that lets users “capture” monsters on their phones and wage war against each other was downloaded more than 1.3 million times in the first three hours after its release here, TOKYO

according to local media reports.

A runaway international success, Pokémon Go launched in Japan two weeks after it became available in the United States.

By early afternoon, scores of players could be seen chasing virtual Pikachus, Snorlaxes and Jigglypuffs — characters from the game — near busy train stations and shopping districts.

“There’s no question this is going to become the No. 1 downloaded application in Japan,” said Serkan Toto, a Tokyo-based game industry consultant. “It’s become a worldwide phenomenon, and that includes Japan.”

Investors seemed to agree.

TOMOHIRO OHSUMI, GETTY IMAGES

One of 1.3 million Japanese who got the Pokémon Go app.

Nintendo shares closed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange at 28,220 yen Friday. They are up 96% since early July.

Pokémon Go uses augmented reality — a real-world environment modified by computer-generated images — and satellite-based navigation to place digital images in settings like homes, offices, streets and parks.

Players use mobile devices to search for and capture the Pokémon characters, which can then do battle with other virtual creatures.

The game has been a global hit, with more than 30 million downloads and $35 million in revenues through Monday, according to the app tracking firm SensorTower. Pokémon Go is the first mobile game to surpass 10 million down-

loads in seven days, according to the firm.

Alarmed by reports of obsessed players being injured in the United States and elsewhere, Japan’s government warned players not to enter dangerous places, wander into obstacles or ride bicycles while playing.

There were no reports of accidents or injuries Friday.

The game’s release in Japan was accompanied by a tie-in with Japan-based McDonald’s Holdings, which operates 2,900 McDonald’s outlets in this country.

About 400 shops will act as “gyms” where Pokémon Go characters can train and do battle.

Obama disputes Trump’s criticisms of U.S. ‘Let the American people judge’ how well Republicans made their case David Jackson @djusatoday USA TODAY

WASHINGTON President Obama dismissed Donald Trump’s criticism of conditions in the United States on Friday, saying crime is actually down, the economy is up and most Americans believe things are going relatively well.

“This idea that America is somehow on the verge of collapse — this vision of violence and chaos everywhere — doesn’t really jibe with the experience of most people,” Obama said the day after Trump painted a dark picture of the U.S. in formally accepting the Republican presidential nomination.

“We’re not going to make good decisions based on fears that don’t have a basis in fact,” Obama later said as he repeatedly weighed in on the race to be his successor. “That, I think, is something that I hope all Americans pay attention to.”

The president, who will speak at next week’s Democratic convention on behalf of party candidate Hillary Clinton, said he would “let the American people

judge” how well Trump and the Republicans made their case at this week’s GOP conclave.

Obama spoke at a joint news conference with President Enrique Peña Nieto of Mexico, a meeting that invited questions about the Republican candidate who has criticized Mexican trade policies, accused it of sending “rapists” to the U.S. and proposed building a wall along the U.S. southern border.

Nieto — who in the past has likened Trump’s rhetoric to Hitler or Mussolini — declined to discuss the U.S. presidential race on Friday, saying he respects both Trump and Clinton. Nieto said Mexico will work with the election winner in a “constructive manner” after November.

“The Mexican government will be observing with great interest the electoral process,” Nieto said, “but it will not get involved in said process.”

Obama, citing the “heated rhetoric” from Trump about immigration and trade with Mexico, said the U.S. “values tremendous-

ly” the relationship with its southern neighbor and both countries benefit from it.

“Mexico is a critical partner and is critically important to our own well-being,” he said.

Throughout his campaign, Trump has listed Mexico as

Donald Trump and President Obama have opposing views.

among those countries that have “stolen” jobs from the U.S. via free trade agreements. He also says Mexico migrants undercut U.S. wages by taking American jobs.

In his speech accepting the GOP presidential nomination, Trump blamed the Obama administration — and Clinton, the former secretary of State — for problems ranging from crime and attacks on police

to “bad” trade deals and Islamic State terrorism. Their convention took place “at a moment of crisis for our nation,” the nominee told Republican delegates.

The country is wracked by high crime rates and an economy in which too many people have given up looking for work, Trump said. He accused the government of selling out citizens through self-dealing and bad trade deals with other countries, including Mexico.

“Nobody knows the system better than me, which is why I alone can fix it,” Trump said.

In a reference to Mexico, Trump said that “we are going to build a great border wall to stop illegal immigration, to stop the gangs and the violence and to stop the drugs from pouring into our communities!”

Obama said Trump mangled crime statistics and the nation is much safer than it has been in years past. He said the Republican nominee ignored the benefits of immigration and free trade. He also took another shot at Trump in saying the globalized economy is a fact of life, and the U.S. must deal with it.

“We’re not going to be able to build a wall around that.”

her and given Republican Donald Trump’s pick of Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, a strong conservative, as his running mate, strategists say Clinton had more freedom to pick a conventional swing state candidate such as Kaine.

With her running mate announcement, Clinton looks to seize the campaign spotlight back from Trump and Republicans who capped off their convention Thursday with Trump accepting the GOP nomination — a milestone the Clinton campaign highlighted in a bid to rally supporters.

“This is real — Donald Trump just accepted the @GOP nomination,” the campaign tweeted, urging supporters to retweet the message if they agreed “we can’t let him become president.”

Donald Trump takes the stage to accept the GOP nomination for president Thursday in Cleveland.

uTrump said after Hillary Clinton’s four years as secretary of State, “Iran is on the path to nuclear weapons.” But Iran was already on that path. At issue is whether the deal will prevent Iran, as intended, from becoming a nuclear power. uHe also blamed Clinton for the resignation of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. But Clinton and former Defense secretary Robert Gates both urged President Obama not to be quick to abandon support for Mubarak. uTrump claimed Clinton “plans a massive … tax increase,” but tax experts say 95% of taxpayers would see “little or no change” in their taxes under her plan. uHe correctly noted a 17% increase in homicides in the 50 largest cities from 2014 to

2015 but called it a reversal after a decades-long decline in crime.

Experts say that’s not enough data to draw conclusions about a trend. uTrump claimed Clinton “illegally” stored emails on her private server while secretary of State and deleted 33,000 to cover up “her crime.” But the FBI cleared Clinton of criminal wrongdoing and found no evidence of a coverup. uTrump said “there’s no way to screen” Syrian refugees to determine “who they are or where they come from.” But all refugees admitted to the U.S. go through an extensive vetting process that takes 18 to 24 months to complete. uHe said the “trade deficit in goods … is $800 billion last year alone.” It was nearly that, but it discounts the services the

U.S. exports. The total trade deficit for goods and services is just over $500 billion. uReince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, also spoke, and he erroneously claimed the Iran nuclear deal “lined the pockets of the world’s No. 1 state sponsor of terrorism with your money.” The assets that were unfrozen by the deal weren’t held by the U.S. government.

That’s not all: Trump made other factual errors and omissions on NAFTA, Libya, household income, government regulation and the Affordable Care Act.

Kaine may not be the attack dog Clinton had wanted to combat Trump. Kaine recently acknowledged that “I am boring.”

The GOP convention highlighted the aggressive posture Republicans are likely to take against Clinton in the fall campaign, as delegates throughout the four-day gathering chanted “lock her up” when the former secretary of State’s name was mentioned.

Kaine is considered a safe pick — a moderate who appeals to independent voters and may be able to bring in more white male support — and he was already vetted by Barack Obama’s team in 2008 (he was an early supporter of the then-Illinois senator during his primary campaign with Clinton).

Kaine and Clinton took a test run during an appearance together in northern Virginia on July 14.

Kaine is also fluent in Spanish and a strong advocate of overhauling the immigration system — both assets as Clinton counts on a strong Hispanic voter turnout, given Trump’s controversial statements about Mexican immigrants and proposed wall along the southern border.

Still, Kaine has liabilities, particularly with progressives.

Kaine also may not be the attack dog Clinton had wanted to combat Trump. On NBC’s Meet the Press, Kaine recently acknowledged that “I am boring.”

‘Bernie or Bust’ backers ready to protest Among party reforms they seek in Philly: no more super delegates

Aamer Madhani @AamerISmad USA TODAY

Bernie Sanders may have ended his battle for the White House with his endorsement of presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, but that’s not stopping thousands of his backers from planning to flock to Philadelphia next week to protest the Democratic National Convention and send a message to party leaders.

The fact that Sanders said last week he would do “everything I can” to help Clinton beat Republican nominee Donald Trump is not dissuading proSanders protest organizers.

They say Americans are frustrated with the Democratic Party establishment, and they’ll still be out in large numbers.

“It’s ‘We the People’ who are going to continue to lead this revolution,” said Billy Taylor, a pro-Sanders activist who was issued permits to hold rallies on each day of the convention. “We are not going to vote for the demon named Hillary just because you are threatening us with the devil named Trump.”

Philadelphia is projecting 35,000 to 50,000 demonstrators will gather at a half dozen sanctioned protest sites near the Wells Fargo Center each day of the convention, which opens Monday.

The showing for the proSanders demonstrations — whose organizers have received nine of the 28 permits issued and are expected to draw the largest crowds, according to city officials’ estimates — could provide a sense of the road Clinton has in front of her as she tries to win over some of Sanders’ most rabid backers.

A Pew Research Center Poll published earlier this month found that 85% of respondents who voted for Sanders during the primaries and caucuses say they will back Clinton in the general election, while 9% said they’d vote for Trump. Six percent say they’ll vote for a third party candidate or did not know how they’ll vote.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re going to hold your nose and vote for Hillary.

We want people to know that you can still denounce the party.”

Billy Taylor, a pro-Sanders activist

Some pro-Sanders protest organizers said they’re still holding on to a thread of hope that a big showing will persuade super delegates committed to Clinton to vote for Sanders. Short of a super delegate uprising, organizers say they will use their protests to push for major reforms in the party—including calling for abolishing super del-

egates in future elections, ousting Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and pressing party leaders to push for laws that would trigger automatic voter registration for Americans when they turn 18.

Without major reforms, Taylor and other protest organizers said they’ll begin an effort to get voters to “deregister” from both major political parties to send a message that Americans are fed up.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re going to hold your nose and vote for Hillary,” said Taylor, who owns a Philadelphia landscape business. “We want people to know that you can still join us to denounce the party. The Democratic Party has to earn back our respect.”

Non-Sanders groups that were approved for permits include Green Party candidate Jill Stein and the Poor People’s Economic Human Rights Campaign

Fake Wi-Fi hotspots set up to lure RNC attendees

Survey shows some conventioneers logged on to ‘I Vote Hillary’ John Shinal

@johnshinal Special for USA TODAY

Many of the Republican party faithful gathered in Cleveland this week are as sloppy about Internet security as Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, an experiment has found.

GOP convention-goers also favor iPhones over Android devices, Facebook posts over Twitter tweets and some even played Pokémon during the party’s nomination of Donald Trump.

All that is according to data shared with USA TODAY by Avast Software, whose research engineers lured more than 1,200 people onto fake Wi-Fi hotspots set up near the GOP convention site at Quicken Loans Arena and at Cleveland’s Hopkins International Airport.

The phony networks had fictitious names such as “I Vote Trump,” “I Vote Hillary,” “Google Starbucks” and “ATTWiFi,” according to a blog post from Avast, a Czech-based security firm.

Of those users who logged on, 68% exposed their identities while also revealing other personal info such as email addresses and preferences for apps, smartphones and websites, Avast said.

The experiment raises privacy concerns, but Avast said while it scanned the data, it did not store any personally identifiable information.

The company, the largest tech employer in the Czech Republic, has conducted other high-profile experiments in the past, both to promote its brand and point up the poor security habits of mobile device users.

But this is the first time its targets were selected based on likely political affiliation, and the fake Wi-Fi networks reveal some interesting facts on some who traveled to downtown Cleveland this week. uNearly 56% of those who logged on to the non-secure networks, for example, did so via an Apple device. That was double the

A group of men carrying firearms attracted a lot of attention, including one woman who posed for a selfie.

28% who used Android devices, while only 1% used Microsoft phones or tablets. Those numbers could be either be a reflection of mobile market share among convention-goers or a sign that Apple users have the least-secure online habits. uAlmost 40% of those logging on had Facebook or its Messenger app installed, while only 10% had the Twitter app and 8% that of Instagram. While Twitter’s weak user growth of late may explain its low figure, the single-digit number for Instagram users could be a function of age, as that imagebased social network skews young. uIn between listening to speeches by Trump family members touting their man and Republican officials railing against Clinton, 6% of those who unknowingly revealed their data also found time to shop on Amazon.com. uFive percent played Pokémon, suggesting at least some of the GOP conventioneers are hip to the latest consumer tech trends. uLess than 1% of the duped users visited dating or porn sites, suggesting either a high moral

character or a preference for finding pleasure without the help of technology.

In one more notable comparison, almost a third of the attendees (30%) logged on to the “I Vote Hillary” network, while 70% chose “I Vote Trump.”

No word yet on whether those were protesters or rabid Clinton haters seeking a digital confrontation.

Clinton of course has had her own problems with cybersecurity, during her time as U.S. secretary of State.

In a nod to political neutrality, the company has plans to repeat the experiment at the upcoming Democratic convention in Philadelphia next week, an Avast spokeswoman told me.

That could reveal whether Clinton supporters are more Internet savvy than their candidate — or if they learn from the sloppy mobile habits of their political opponents.

(PPEHRC).

Cheri Honkala, organizer for the Philadelphia-based PPEHRC, said her group’s demonstration is meant to spotlight homelessness and poverty in the city. She also is planning a bean supper for Sanders’ delegates ahead of Clinton’s acceptance speech on Thursday, hoping that they will return to the Wells Fargo Center and greet Clinton with flatulence.

“The idea is to send the message to the Democratic Party establishment that the whole system smells,” she said.

Laurie Cestnick, a Sanders supporter who has been organizing protesters, said she was disappointed by Sanders’ endorsement of Clinton. But she said too much is at stake to keep from speaking out.

“I want (the Clinton campaign) to squirm for the rest of the election season, wondering what’s going to happen,” she said.

Protests like this one during the GOP convention in Cleveland will show up in Philadelphia next week as Democrats convene.

IN BRIEF MH370 SEARCH CLOSE TO BEING STOPPED

The search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 will be suspended after investigators finish scouring 38,610 square miles in the Indian Ocean, authorities said Friday, more than two years after the plane mysteriously disappeared.

Malaysian Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai made the announcement at a news conference with his Australian and Chinese counterparts. Liow said the search, the most expensive in aviation history at $135 million, would end sometime between October and December.

“Should credible new information emerge which can be used to identify the specific location of the aircraft, consideration will be given in determining next steps,” he said. The ministers acknowledged that “the likelihood of finding the aircraft is fading.”

— Kim Hjelmgaard SEARING HEAT WAVE HITS 3 BIGGEST CITIES

For the first time in at least a decade, portions of the nation’s three largest metro areas — New York, Los Angeles and Chicago — were all under heat wave alerts Friday morning.

Daryl Herzmann, a scientist at Iowa State University, said reli-

able records for such data only go back to October 2005, meaning the last time all three were under such an alert could go back much farther.

Other big cities such as Philadelphia, St. Louis, Kansas City, Mo., Phoenix and Minneapolis were also under heat watches, warnings or advisories. Washington, D.C., could join that list later Friday or Saturday.

In all, 122 million Americans in 26 states were under heat alerts, according to the National Weather Service.

— Doyle Rice EX-KKK LEADER DUKE TO RUN FOR SENATE SEAT

Former Ku Klux Klan wizard David Duke emerged from a 17year political hiatus Friday to officially sign up to run for U.S. Senate in Louisiana, a state already roiling with racial tension.

Duke, a Republican who served one term in the Louisiana House, hasn’t run for office since 1999.

He is running to fill the seat that will be vacated by Republican Sen. David Vitter.

Duke said he will fight to end what he believes is “massive racial discrimination” against whites and called Black Lives Matter “a terrorist organization.”

According to the Bloomberg Billionaires list, Bezos, 52, was worth $65.1 billion as of Thursday. That puts him at No. 3 on the list, slightly ahead of Warren Buffett, who’s now worth $65 billion.

Ahead of him are Spanish retail magnate Amancio Ortega, worth $73.4 billion, and former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates, worth $89.1 billion.

PHILLY AIRPORT WORKERS PLAN STRIKE DURING DNC The fight to raise the minimum wage is headed to the doorstep of the Democratic National Convention, with local airport workers planning to go on strike when delegates descend upon Philadelphia next week. Roughly 1,000 workers, including those who handle luggage, attend to passengers in wheelchairs and clean plane cabins, are expected to not show up for work to call attention to their demands for a $15 minimum wage and the ability to join the Service Employees International Union.

Corporate profits are expected to hit a wall again in the second quarter. But the profit recession can’t seem to hold back this group of companies as they cruise right through (see chart).

These seven companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 keep putting up big profit growth despite a drought for the rest of Corporate America, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence.

These companies have posted at least 20% growth in adjusted profit in each of the past four quarters and are expected to do it again in the second quarter of 2016 (two have already reported).

Seeing mondo profit mojo is a welcome distraction for investors as second-quarter earnings season goes into full swing next week. These seven stocks putting up profit growth are up an average of 23% over the past 12 months, blowing away the S&P 500’s 2% gain, as investors are being drawn to rare spots of dependable growth.

Wall Street is bracing for another drop in quarterly profit, 3.7% to be exact, for the second quarter. That would be the fourth consecutive quarter of declines.

Investors looking for growth, not excuses, are finding Adobe.

The maker of graphics software has been shifting its customers away from buying pricey software programs upfront and toward paying a smaller monthly fee to rent software instead. The benefits of this new model to bottom-

Verizon is reportedly close to finalizing its purchase of Yahoo.

The two companies were in discussions Friday and may announce a deal soon, according to several published reports. However, the transaction — which approaches $5 billion, one person told Bloomberg — is not final and could fall apart.

Shares of Verizon Communications ended up 1.3% to $56.10 Friday. Yahoo shares closed up 1.4% to $39.38.

Representatives for Verizon and Yahoo declined comment.

Yahoo’s board began the sale process four months ago after abandoning a spin-off of its stake in Chinese retailing giant Alibaba, worth $32 billion, over concern about transaction taxes. In an effort to separate Yahoo’s core business from that stake, the board agreed to explore a sale at the urging of activist investors including Starboard Value. Under the potential deal, Verizon would buy Yahoo’s core business, which includes advertising, search and content such as Yahoo Finance, Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Mail.

MANDEL NGAN, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Verizon’s bid could eventually include real estate, CNBC’s David Faber said. The company has sought to sell its portfolio of thousands of patents, real estate and other assets. That would leave only its Alibaba stake and perhaps its 36% stake in Yahoo Japan, worth about $8 billion.

Verizon long has been considered the candidate to come out on top because the telecom provider has been beefing up its online video content and advertising on mobile networks.

As far back as December 2015, Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam and CFO Fran Shammo said the company would look at Yahoo should it go up for sale.

Yahoo had been expected to announce the results by month’s end. The company reportedly received final bids Monday, the same day it announced results for the second quarter.

Other reported bidders for Yahoo are AT&T; a consortium that includes Warren Buffett’s firm Berkshire Hathaway; Dan Gilbert, founder of Quicken Loans and owner of the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers; and private investment firm TPG.

King of growth can’t keep up its own lofty record Q: How bad will Apple’s profit be?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Apple’s second quarter could be a classic example of why enormous companies have trouble being great stocks. The bigger a company gets the harder it is to keep the growth needle moving in the right direction.

By initial impressions, Apple is expected to have a bonanza of a quarter in terms of raw profit when it reports Tuesday. The gadget market is expected to earn $7.6 billion during the quarter, which dwarfs all other companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500. That’s a massive profit and explains why Apple has a higher market value than any other U.S. company.

But leading up to the results has been a huge disappointment. While the S&P 500 sets all-time highs, shares of Apple are down by more than 20% over the past year. While Apple has size, its growth days are over for now. The company’s adjusted profit per share is expected to drop by 25% to $1.38 in the second quarter.

The company’s newer smartphones lack the innovation of earlier models, so many consumers are replacing them less frequently. Meanwhile, Apple’s high price point is challenging as equally capable phones from rivals are more popular in emerging markets and in value segments.

Adjusted profit this calendar year is seen falling 15%.

Business travelers ditch taxis to travel via Uber, Lyft Charisse Jones @charissejones USA TODAY

With a growing number of companies giving the green light to ride-hailing services, corporate travelers are increasingly choosing Uber or Lyft over hopping in a cab.

Among all the business trips taken that involved some form of ground transportation, 49% used ride-hailing services in the second quarter, according to expense management company Certify, which analyzed more than 10

million receipts.

Meanwhile, cab rides continued to plummet, down to 14%

of trips, compared with 37% just two years ago.

Car rentals fared better at 37%, but that was still a steep drop from the 55% of trips business trekkers took in the second quarter of 2014.

“The business traveler is seeing ride hailing as a viable alternative,” Certify CEO Bob Neveu says. He noted the ability to hail and track a car via a smartphone app, as well as pay with a credit card on file, boosts such services’ appeal. “The users are preferring the experience of ride hailing over taxis just in terms of quality and satisfaction,” he added.

The shift is a vivid example of how a younger, more tech-savvy workforce is changing the workplace, some executives say.

AGC Partners, a Boston-based investment banking firm, has long allowed its staff, made up mostly of people in their 20s, to use Uber and Lyft on business trips and to get home after working late.

“It was really (their) demand ... that drove us to use Uber, which we probably wouldn’t have moved to as quickly if they had not done it,” CEO Benjamin Howe says. They’re “a significant influence in the workplace today,

and it’s a good thing because we’re adopting more efficient practices because of it.”

Pricing, cleanliness and reliability are some of the key reasons several members of USA TODAY’s panel of Road Warriors say they prefer ride-hailing services to local taxis.

“I travel regularly for business and have not used a taxi in over three years because of Uber and Lyft,” says business traveler John Shaski, 37, a government affairs officer who lives in Lansing, Mich. “They are game changers when it comes to ease and access.”

Sweetie, darlings, they’re back.

The outrageous, champagneswilling masters of scandal who took over British television are heading to the big screen in Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie (in theaters Friday).

And this time, Kate Moss’ life is in Edina and Patsy’s hands.

For the uninitiated, in 1992, Jennifer Saunders created Absolutely Fabulous, a TV sitcom about publicist Edina Monsoon (Saunders) and her magazine editor best friend Patsy Stone (Joanna Lumley), who drank their way through cases of Bolly (Bollinger Champagne), hit clubs, rarely turned up to work and constantly harassed Edina’s disapproving daughter, Saffy (Julia Sawalha).

The BBC show, as genre-defining as Amy Schumer’s take-noprisoners sketch comedy and Lena Dunham’s Girls have been today, launched a new brand of comedy with its bold, unapologetic take on women behaving badly.

But while Edina and Patsy haven’t changed, the selfie and celebrity-laden times have. “I don’t think the way they behave is shocking because they’re so old now,” says Saunders, 58, noting that now the notorious characters’ behavior is merely “unwise. Nowadays, everyone falls out of a cab without their knickers on.”

Ab Fab, which ran for five seasons and seven specials and became a cult favorite in the USA, bubbled up to the top of the British box office this month, marking the U.K.’s biggest opening since Spectre.

Lumley, 70, speculates that Brits needed a break from the heavy news cycle. “Britain was in exactly the right state to want to go see a ludicrous comedy, because we’d had the Brexit vote,” she says. “The political scene was changing every hour.”

It might be why the world needs Eddy and Patsy more than ever.

When the movie catches up with the Ab Fab BFFs, Patsy is still employed at her magazine, but Edina’s PR company is failing; she’s left with a boutique vodka company and managing an aging pop star.

PHOTOS BY DAVID APPLEBY

When we climb on board again with BFFs Edina Monsoon (Jennifer Saunders) and Patsy Stone (Joanna Lumley), Edina’s PR company has fallen on hard times, and Patsy is still plugging away at her magazine.

“They run out of champagne, which to them is terrible,” Lumley says. “It’s a frantic situation.”

That’s when Edina hears Kate Moss (who plays herself ) is looking for new representation and stalks the supermodel at a party.

Trouble is, she accidentally tips the icon into the River Thames. Branded a murderer, she and Patsy go on the run in the South of France.

Signature Ab Fab traits are there, including the original cast.

Edina’s clothes are still too tight, and ever in search of youth, Patsy begins her morning with a Botox needle plunged into the cheek.

Saunders, who wrote the movie, “was true to the show, except it was just on a much larger canvas,” Lumley says. The film is stocked with 60 celebrity cameos,

When supermodel Kate Moss enters publicist Edina’s sights, everyone ends up in a river of trouble. from Joan Collins to Jon Hamm.

Since the show’s debut, celebrity has completely engulfed pop culture, Saunders says. “The world is incredibly self-obsessed now,” she says. “It’s not just celebrities, it’s everybody.” But one key to Ab Fab will never change.

“I mean, they’re revolting characters — which is why we love playing them, because they’re so funny,” Lumley says. “But the one thing that they do have is their great friendship.”

‘Top Model’ getting a fall makeover for VH1 New host, new judges, new expectations Andrea Mandell @andreamandell USA TODAY

There’s a new formula to becoming a top model.

This fall, America’s Next Top Model moves to VH1, and everything is changing, from the show’s new host, pop star Rita Ora, to an all-new judging panel.

The new judges, USA TODAY exclusively reveals, are plus-size model Ashley Graham, the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition cover star known for her body-positive messaging; Drew Elliott, chief creative officer of Paper magazine (behind Kim Kardashian’s “Break the Internet” bare-booty cover); and stylist Law Roach, who counts Zendaya and Ariana Grande as clients and recently worked with Céline Dion in Paris.

The shake-up reflects how the modeling game has changed, executive producer (and former host) Tyra Banks explains by phone on vacation with her family as her baby son York babbles in the background.

“It’s no longer just about having the highest cheekbones and

A new team will lead the way down the runway for America’s Next Top Model: from left, Paper magazine’s Drew Elliott, host Rita Ora, stylist Law Roach and model Ashley Graham. best pout and the best hair,” Banks says. “My goal is to really get into these girls’ heads that I’m not looking for some successful model and I’m not looking for some social-media star. I’m looking for both. I’m looking for a hybrid, because that’s where the world is.”

As CW put Top Model to bed last December after 22 seasons on that network and predecessor UPN, VH1 bid on the show. “I thought we were done with the brand. But the fact that the brand still has viability, and that VH1 really, truly sees a strong future

with it — how could I say no to that?” says Banks, adding that she will make “a couple of appearances” on the new show.

The new concept includes a weekly pop culture challenge.

“While there never will be a Tyra replacement, what we wanted to do was really infuse that panel with style, fashion and pop culture experts,” says VH1 and Logo president Chris McCarthy.

With Ora, 25, at the helm, supported by the new panel of tastemakers, “together they collectively have the power of what is driving fashion and pop culture

today,” he says.

Ora says that like Banks, she wants the contestants to think about their business futures first.

“The approach I wanted to have as a host and judge to the girls is what my career stands for at this moment in time, which is being a businesswoman and being able to do multiple things at the same time, whether it’s music or shooting (magazine covers) and being in movies and designing clothes,” says Ora, citing a week in June when she finished designing her 14th collection with Adidas, shot a spread for Vogue Italia and wrapped shooting back-to-back sequels of Fifty Shades of Grey.

The pop star also recently exited her contract with Jay Z’s Roc Nation and signed with Atlantic Records. “I’m so excited about it,” Ora says. “I’m actually recording my album as we speak.”

The new Top Model returns to New York for 14 episodes with all female contestants. A week into production, Ora says her previous reality experience, as a judge on BBC’s The Voice and Britain’s The X Factor, “wasn’t as intense” as her new gig.

“I actually just finished my first elimination,” Ora says. “I can’t go into detail, but it was definitely an emotional one.”

eing a “master� gardener is more than a fancy title: It signifies participation in an international volunteer program centered around education.

Getting started with the program is typically the hardest part because

it requires participation in a multiweek training session that is often held during the work week.

basic training sessions.

Basic training sessions are scheduled for Tuesday evenings from 5:30 to 8:30, from Aug. 23 to Oct. 18.

The class will also meet on Saturday, Sept. 17, and Saturday, Oct. 15, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. New trainees should plan to at-

tend all sessions.

Prior gardening experience is unnecessary, but an interest and willingness to give back to the community is a must.

For better home decor, don’t skip the staircase

By Melissa Rayworth Associated Press

We give lots of thought to decorating rooms but often overlook the staircase, despite the fact that in many homes it’s the first thing people see when they walk in the door.

Staircase areas can be “a great spot to introduce your personal style,” says Brian Patrick Flynn, who designed HGTV’s “Dream Home 2016,” the design network’s annual house giveaway.

A bold paint color that might be overpowering in a large living room can be perfect used on the tiny risers between steps. And a rug pattern that “might seem kind of wild in a room” can add a nice pop of style when used as a slender runner down the center of a staircase, says Bethany Willard, lead designer and founder at the Pittsburgh-based interior design firm Studio 1049.

“The simplicity of a stairBradfield & Tobin via AP case allows for a bit of fun,” A STRIKING STAIRCASE DESIGNED BY THE NEW YORK-BASED DESIGN FIRM BRADFIELD & TOBIN has leather she says. treads on the stairs rather than traditional carpet.

Blend style and function Runners and stair treads are another place to add color or pattern.

“Stairwell runners in masculine prints are becoming popular in all sorts of homes,” says Flynn.

And they serve a practical purpose: Bare wood can look good but be noisy and slippery. Most of Tobin’s clients opt for stair runners or treads to eliminate noise.

These are traditionally made of carpet, but Tobin suggests considering other materials. For a client in Mexico City, he added leather stair treads.

Finishing touches Make sure lighting fixtures are right for your staircase and that the light is flattering, Willard suggests. “That can be such an inexpensive change and an update that makes a lot of difference,” she says.

And you don’t have to wait for the winter holidays to add decorations. As summer ends, consider “adding a touch of fall with baskets at the end of the stairs in autumnal tones,” says Flynn, “then keeping sweaters and knit caps out as accessories.”

paint, which can easily be painted over if you decide the pattern isn’t for you. Or paint them one or several rich colors.

Willard has a client who chose to paint her risers in various shades of green — lightest at the top and darkest at the bottom, in a sort of ombre effect.

Flynn is a fan of wallpapering risers, then covering each one with a sheet of clear acrylic for durability.

And if you’re sure that patterned risers are for you, go for an even more permanent approach by adding ceramic tile work in a pattern you love.

Repair a roller chain W

Fix-It Chick

hether it is a bike chain or a drive chain on a piece of equipment, roller chains sometimes break. Repairing a broken chain is easy, especially if you have a chain repair tool.

Step 1: Locate the bad link. If the link is broken, it should be easy to find.

If the link is not broken, watch as the chain rolls over the sprocket. The bad link should be easy to identify as it skips over the teeth of the sprocket.

Step 2: Determine the size of the chain link. The most common roller chain links adhere to ANSI standards and are sized in eighth-inch increments. The distance between the centers of the two pins on a link is referred to as its pitch.

The distance between the two inner plates on a link is its width. A chain with an eighth-inch pitch would need a No. 25 link, a chain with a quarterinch pitch would need

Linda Cottin a No. 30 link, and so on.

Measure the pitch and refer to a roller link chart to identify the correct size.

above the opening in the nut. Place the punch on the top of the pin and use the hammer to tap the pin down until the bad link can pull away from the adjoining link.

Step 5: Replace the broken link with a matching link by reassembling the chain and using the chain tool or the hammer and punch to reinsert new pins into the link.

Step 6: The chain can also be repaired using a master link.

Master links have nonremovable pins. Some master links are joined together by notched outer plates that lock in place when the chain is pulled tight. Others are held together by clips or cotter pins. Install the master link in place of Step 4: If a chain tool the bad link for a quick is not available, use a nut, and easy fix. a hammer and a punch — Have a home improveto remove the pins from ment question for Fix-It Chick? the bad link.

Slip the link into the grooves of the tool. Center one pin in the opening. Turn the handle of the tool until the pin is pushed far enough out of the link to allow it to pull away from the adjoining link.

Keep strawberries healthy Master by renovating their beds

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

By Lee Reich Associated Press

If you saw my strawberry bed, you might think I don’t like strawberries. The leaves have been lopped off, some plants were ripped out of the ground, and those that remain are partially buried in dirt.

It’s not a pretty sight.

But I do like strawberries, and what I’ve done to this bed is actually good for the plants. I carry out this renovation, as it is called, every year not long after gathering the last berries for the season.

The short rest that June-bearing strawberry plants naturally take after their harvest season helps them tolerate the more brutal aspects of renovation. (Renovation is not for everbearing strawberry varieties, which bear again in late summer into fall, or day-neutral varieties, which offer berries pretty much all season long.)

Off with their leaves Over time, leaf diseases from wild strawberries and related plants can sneak into and build up in a cultivated strawberry bed.

The first step in renovation, cutting off all the plants’ leaves, helps keep such problems in check. No leaves, no leaf diseases — at least until the leaves grow back, but then at least any new infections must originate from outside the bed.

I cut the leaves with a scythe — a supersharp “European-style” scythe — and follow up with grass shears. The shears alone work well, especially for smaller beds. A lawnmower works well for larger beds as long as it’s set high enough so the crowns of the plants, which are the shortened stems from which the leaves arise, are not injured.

Healthy, new leaves will begin to sprout soon after the renovation.

Cut down on runners Strawberry plants strew themselves about by means of runners, which are horizontal stems that develop daughter plants. Those take root at intervals along their lengths. (The word “strawberry” may have originated from “strewberry.”)

Over time, an untended bed

gardeners are expected to support and impart research-based gardening information rather than that based solely on anecdotes and may not use the title for personal gain.

Interested parties should apply for the program by Aug. 3.

Applications are available at K-State Research and Extension-Douglas County, 2110 Harper St., Lawrence, or online at www.douglas.ksu.edu.

Applicants will be contacted after Aug. 3 with more information.

Upon completion of the basic training sessions in fall 2016, new master gardeners are expected to volunteer 40 hours of time (in calendar year 2017) through the organization to complete the certification.

To stay certified as a master gardener, an individual must volunteer 20 hours through the organization and participate in 10 hours of advanced training.

Training courses are taught by Kansas State University professors, extension agents and

Basic training topics include soil function and management, ornamental plants, turf management, understanding pesticides and their uses, plant pathology, entomology, fruit and vegetable production, urban wildlife management, plant propagation and landscape maintenance. local specialists. Basic training topics include soil function and management, ornamental plants, turf management, understanding pesticides and their uses, plant pathology, entomology, fruit and vegetable production, urban wildlife management, plant propagation and landscape maintenance.

There is a course fee of $125 to cover the costs of a training manual and course materials. Scholarships are available.

Volunteer activities of the Douglas County Extension Master Gardeners include op-

eration of a gardening hotline, maintenance of educational demonstration gardens, a speakers’ bureau, a Junior Master Gardener program, organization of educational events including spring gardening fairs and biannual garden tours, participation in community events with informational booths, promotion of Plant a Row for the Hungry, collection/distribution of excess garden produce for donation, and other community partnerships.

Douglas County Master Gardeners contributed a combined total of 10,100 hours in 2015 and reached more than 8,700 area residents. There are currently 162 active members. According to a 2009 survey, there are nearly 95,000 master gardeners in the United States and Canada.

Applicants are also invited to attend a reception on Sunday, Aug. 21, at the Union Pacific Depot to meet and greet with other participants.

becomes so crowded with mother, daughter, granddaughter, etc. plants that they shade each other and production suffers. Diseases also fester in those dank conditions.

So after clipping off the leaves, I went through my strawberry bed and thinned out enough plants so that those remaining stood about 8 inches apart. I selectively removed the oldest plants, which become more susceptible to winter cold and less productive.

I leave well-positioned younger plants that are in a row and far enough apart.

Don’t forget the mulch That “dirt” under which I said my plants are partially buried is not, incidentally, dirt.

It’s compost, which I laid a half inch or so

deep over the whole bed, except right over the plants. This compost dressing suppresses weeds, feeds the plants, and keeps the strawberry crowns, which rise slightly in the soil with age, protected from the elements.

The “icing” on the cake is a mulch of pine needles on top of the compost. Equally suitable would be a mulch of wood shavings, straw or any other weed-free, organic material. (The traditional straw mulch for strawberries is another hypothesized origin of the word “strawberry.”)

I apply this mulch at my leisure, sometime after renovation and before late autumn.

In a few weeks, my strawberry bed will again look vibrant, like a fruit that I do like.

Kansas pledge switches to Tulsa

BIG 12 EXPANSION

Look familiar?

KANSAS STATE FOOTBALL COACH BILL SNYDER, MAIN PHOTO, CREATED A BIT OF A STIR at this week’s Big 12 Media Days, when he said a couple of former Big 12 Conference members wanted back in the league. THE CANDIDATES: at left, from top, Colorado and coach Mike MacIntyre; Nebraska and coach Mike Riley; Missouri and coach Barry Odom; and Texas A&M and coach Kevin Sumlin.

Some old friends might be on radar

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Big 12 Conference expansion is hot again — maybe hotter than ever — and universities across the country are making comments, pushes, pleas even, to the Big 12 brass to find a way to place themselves on the VIP list.

This, of course, is a reaction to the Big 12’s announcement earlier this week that commissioner Bob Bowlsby has been given the go-ahead to gauge the interest and viability of particular schools that might be —

And then there are the schools that have been mentioned several places and would be equally as excited even to get a shot to make their case. Think Colorado State, Tulane, Central and South Florida.

But a couple of the more interesting options, which a mtait@ljworld.com few people have discussed today or someday — good during recent weeks, surfits for the Big 12 should it faced this week when Kansas elect to expand back to 12 or State football coach Bill perhaps even to 14.

Snyder would add if the

decision were exclusively up to him.

Here’s the quote: “I may be wrong, and other people may see it differently, but I don’t think anyone could be in a better situation than the teams we have in our conference,” Snyder said. “I’ll tell you what: There are teams that left our conference right now that wish they could get back in our conference.”

Asked how many, Snyder twice responded: “Two I know of.”

Kansas University football’s strong recruiting stretch took a hit this week, when three-star Texas defensive back Akayleb Evans announced he was de-committing.

Evans, a 6-foot-2, 180-pound safety from McKinney, Texas, who picked Kansas over offers or strong interest from Iowa, Iowa State, SMU, TCU and Tulsa back on his birthday in late June, declared his intentions on Twitter earlier this week, saying simply, “I am officially de-committing from the University of Kansas and reopening my recruitment.”

Late Thursday night, Evans orally committed to Tulsa.

The move leaves Kansas coach David Beaty with 11 commitments in the 2017 recruiting class and, in some ways, seems to be a slight step in the right direction.

During the past several years, with Kansas struggling and in rebuilding mode year after year, the Jayhawks consistently have been in competition with the Tulsas of the world for high school prospects, losing players to those schools as often as they signed them.

This move, however, seemed to be the reverse, with Evans jumping on the Jayhawks early only to back out possibly because of a surplus of talented defensive backs committing to KU in the same class.

Four-star Louisiana prospect Mike Lee already is on board, and three-star Chicago talent Robert Topps committed to Kansas one hour after Evans on June 22, giving KU three defensive backs with a three-star rating or higher.

As it stands today, Kansas has six three-star commitments and one four-star commitment in its 11-man class. By comparison, Evans became the third threestar prospect to commit to Tulsa, which currently has a nine-man class for 2017.

Evans also is the only defensive back among the nine Tulsa commitments.

Duffy dominant; Royals rip Rangers Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Perhaps it simply took a whirlwind trip to the White House for the Kansas City Royals to remember that they’re the reigning World Series champions.

Danny Duffy scattered four hits while pitching into the seventh inning, the Royals scratched out three runs off the Rangers’ Yu Darvish, and Kansas City shrugged off a sluggish start to the second half to beat Texas

3-1 on Friday night in the opener of their three-game series.

“I think being around the guys on an off day was a positive,” said Duffy, who along with the rest of the Royals slipped out of town to see President Barack Obama in the midst of a long homestand. “We got to do something not a lot of people get to do.”

The Royals had dropped four of six since the All-

Star break before Friday night, when Duffy (6-1) gave up only Rougned Odor’s homer in the fourth inning.

The left-hander struck out four, walked two and gave his bullpen a breather on a steamy evening that began with a heat index of 108 degrees.

Luke Hochevar wiggled out of Duffy’s jam to end the seventh, Kelvin Herrera pitched a perfect eighth, and Wade Davis worked around

a two-out single in the ninth for his 21st save.

The victory kept the Royals (48-47) from dropping below .500 for the first time since May 17.

“Duffy’s got a big fastball with a quality changeup and breaking ball. He was really tough on us,” Rangers manCharlie Riedel/AP Photo ager Jeff Banister said. “A quality start, a quality starter, KANSAS CITY’S CHESLOR CUTHBERT CELEBRATES he’s been doing that all year.” as he crosses the plate after hitting a solo home run in the Royals’ 3-1 victory over the Rangers Please see ROYALS, page 3D on Friday in Kansas City, Mo.

Minneapolis (ap) — Dennis Green, the trailblazing coach who led a Minnesota Vikings renaissance in the 1990s before a less successful run with the Arizona Cardinals, has died.

He was 67.

Green’s family posted a message on the Cardinals website on Friday announcing the death.

“His family was by his side and he fought hard,” the statement read. Other details were not immediately disclosed, though the Cardinals said Green had died of a heart attack.

“

This is the hardest couple of days I’ve ever experienced in my coaching life. You say goodbye to players when they graduate and that’s one thing. Making that phone call to a mother is — there’s no words.”

— Oklahoma State basketball coach Brad Underwood Mike Holder said, adding that the team will thoroughly examine its practices following Coger’s death. “If you want to be great at something, you’ve got to push the envelope.

That’s what conditioning is all about.”

Coger died from an enlarged heart — “cardiomegaly with left ventricular hypertrophy” — and the manner of death was natural, Oklahoma State Medical Examiner’s Office spokeswoman Amy Elliott said in an email Friday. The office’s family assistance coordinator, Eddie Johnson, told The Associated Press that the final report is not likely to be ready and released for another eight weeks.

Oklahoma State basketball coach Brad Underwood broke down Friday, noting that he was in Las Vegas on a recruiting trip when he learned of Coger’s death.

“This is the hardest couple

of days I’ve ever experienced in my coaching life. You say goodbye to players when they graduate and that’s one thing,” Underwood said, pausing to wipe away tears with a towel.

“Making that phone call to a mother is — there’s no words.”

The NCAA handbook says heatstroke is the third-leading cause of sudden death in athletes, and that athletes should be gradually introduced to activity in warm temperatures over a “minimum period of 10 to 14 days.” Coger had been in Oklahoma since July 5, the school said.

The NCAA handbook also provides a list of signs and symptoms of heat injury, notes that heatstroke is most likely to occur at the start of preseason practices and says that some athletes with certain health conditions or who are not adequately in shape can be more susceptible to heatstroke.

It was not clear whether that was the case with Coger, whom Shutt said underwent health screenings to ensure he was physically able to participate in sports. Federal laws prohibit the school releasing those results.

In an interview with the Stillwater NewsPress published earlier this month, Coger spoke of frequent headaches that plagued him during his high school days and said he underwent surgery several years ago to drain fluid from around his brain.

Royals CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

Darvish (2-2) nearly matched Duffy in his third start off the disabled list. He allowed single runs in each of the first three innings, struck out 11 and made only one big mistake — Cheslor Cuthbert’s home run.

Still, it wasn’t good enough to keep the AL West-leading Rangers from losing for the eighth time in nine games. The slide has been marked by poor pitching, inconsistent hitting and a series of devastating injuries — sluggers Prince Fielder and Shin-Soo Choo went on the DL earlier this week.

Without them, the Rangers certainly struggled to create scoring chances Friday night.

Duffy carved through the lineup without allowing a hit the first time through, the only baserunner a walk to Elvis Andrus. He went on to load the bases on a single and hit batter in the third inning, but Duffy calmly struck out Ian Desmond on three pitches to leave them stranded.

His only other trouble came when he put runners on the corners with two outs in the seventh, forcing Hochevar in from the bullpen. He got pinch-hitter Mitch Moreland on a liner to preserve a 3-1 lead.

They built it in typical Royals fashion: They scored a run in the first on a single, stolen base, error and groundout then scored again in the second on a walk, stolen base and consecutive singles.

It wasn’t until Cuthbert went deep leading off the third that they made Darvish look fallible.

“Darvish is a really good pitcher,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “To scratch

They’re happy and seemingly much better off in the SEC, where they enjoy the best of both worlds — drawing the highest conference revenue distribution check out there year after year and still having a strong recruiting presence in the state of Texas. The Big 12 could offer A&M the moon and the stars to return — which it wouldn’t — and I still don’t think the Aggies would even consider it.

So there you have it.

My best guess at which institutions Snyder was referencing when he talked about former conference members wanting back in earlier this week.

One key thing to remember here, in case some of you out there are rolling your eyes about the mere thought of all of this: Snyder is a man of few words and one who likes to avoid the spotlight and keep things close to the vest at all times and at all costs. So if he’s publicly saying that two former Big 12 programs would be interested in rejoining the conference, you can bet there’s a whole lot of truth to that. He does not play games or become a part of tactics to put pressure on others or move an agenda forward.

He calls it like he sees it, when he’s calling it at all, and that’s what makes his recent comments all the more interesting.

It will not be easy for the Big 12 to get two of its former members back even if it wanted to. But my guess is that if there’s genuine interest from both sides, it could one day happen.

Beyond that, if it were to happen, I think the Big 12 would go past 12 to 14 during its next round of expansion.

It sure seems like it’s coming. As always, it’s just hard to pinpoint the names of those who will be involved.

Buckle up.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Yankees edge Giants The Associated Press

Interleague Yankees 3, Giants 2 New York — San Francisco Gold Glove shortstop Brandon Crawford made three errors for the first time in his career, with his wild throw in the eighth inning helping give New York a victory that sent the Giants to their season-worst sixth straight loss.

Masahiro Tanaka shut out San Francisco for six innings, giving up four singles. Giants ace Madison Bumgarner went seven innings, allowing two runs.

The Giants nicked Dellin Betances in the seventh, pulling within 2-1 on a walk, a double by Denard Span and a wild pitch. That ended a streak of 31 scoreless innings by Yankees relievers. A double by Giants pinch-hitter Mac Williamson off Andrew Miller (6-1) tied it in the eighth.
