JAYHAWK BOULEVARD SET TO REOPEN BY AUG. 14

n 2008, it seemed the public transit question in Lawrence was settled. Lawrence residents loved the idea of a city-owned bus system. Voters went to the polls in November of that year with a do-or-die question. Voters were asked to approve a two-tenths of a percent sales tax to fund the T’s basic operations. CITY Without the sales tax, it COMMISSION was likely that the transit system would be shuttered. Voters made their answer clear. The tax was approved by a 70 percent to 30 percent margin.

Last summer, the world was introduced to a new way to keep (sometimes painfully) cool while raising money for research into the neurodegenerative disease known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. What began in Boston as an act of solidarity for a few friends quickly spread around the world. Soon, it was commonplace to see videos of friends, family members and celebrities pouring water over their heads, donating to the Washington, D.C.-based ALS Association and challenging others to follow suit. Brian Frederick, a Lawrence native who now lives in the nation’s capital and is chief of staff for the ALS Association, said the popularity of the Ice Bucket Challenge can be traced back to three men who suffer from ALS: Pat Quinn, Anthony Senerchia and Peter Frates. Currently, more than $220 million has been raised for the association globally, Frederick said. In late June, Frederick, Quinn and several others accepted 11 Gold Lions and the Grand Prix For Good award in Cannes, France. “We were incredibly, incredibly humbled and overwhelmed,” Frederick said. “Many people spend their careers trying to win one Gold Lion, and we were lucky enough to win 11 and the Grand Prix For Good. It was an amazing experience and spoke to how truly big of a global phenomenon this was.” Now, Frederick said, he and the rest of the movement are trying to keep the ball rolling. “($220 million) is certainly amazing and huge, but it’s still a small fraction of the amount that it takes to bring a new treatment to market,” he said. “It’s well over a billion dollars to bring a new treatment to market. It’s a constant push to get funding to make sure we’re funding the best science and advancing the research.” Frederick said the association wants to make the Ice Bucket Challenge an annual event, quoting Quinn’s fiveword acceptance speech for the challenge’s 2015 Webby Award: “every August until a cure.” The organization is working to keep the challenge interesting and reach those who escaped last summer’s bitter-cold waters. “This year, we want everybody that didn’t partake last year to try it and take the challenge,” he said. “It’s a lot of fun, and the people that did try it last year can make theirs bigger and better.” Lastly, Frederick challenges the entire city of Lawrence to this year’s Ice Bucket Challenge.

KU asks Regents for $7M to replace science buildings By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

Topeka — Kansas University’s aging science buildings have “major shortcomings” — major enough that the antiquated facilities could in the future cost KU its membership in the prestigious

research institution club known as the Association of American Universities, KU Provost Jeff Vitter told the Kansas Board of Regents on Thursday. Moving forward with constructing new integrated science buildings — as called for in the Campus Master Plan un-

veiled last year — is KU’s top budget enhancement request for fiscal year 2017, Vitter said. KU is asking for $7 million, phased in at $3.5 million per year beginning in fiscal year 2017. Vitter said that represents roughly a third of the cost; the rest would be

funded with money saved through KU’s Changing for Excellence ongoing efficiency initiative, as well as donations and public-private partnerships. During Thursday’s Regents budget workshop, board members got a look at budgets and priority

budget enhancement requests for the next couple years from KU and the state’s other Regents universities. It’s one step in a long and ever-cycling higher education budget process. The 2015 Legislature appropriated capital projects for fiscal years 2016

and 2017, according to a Regents memo, and during the 2016 legislative session amendments may be made to the approved capital appropriations. Vitter called the construction of new integrated science buildings — Please see REGENTS, page 5A

More than 2 hours needed to remove truck from between rail, wall after crash Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

Drunken driving is suspected as the cause of a one-vehicle accident that landed in an unusual spot Thursday afternoon in North Lawrence. A truck overturned and became wedged between a guardrail and a wall near Locust and North Sec-

ond streets shortly after 3:30 p.m. It took crews more than two hours to remove the truck from its odd position. The truck became stuck on the east side of the road, just north of the intersection. Two men, whom Lawrence police Sgt. Craig Shanks described as “highly intoxicated,” were northbound in the vehicle when the crash occurred.

and a case of beer and at least one open can of beer were visible in the truck’s cab. Three tow trucks were on scene to remove the wedged vehicle. Crews cut off a section of the metal pedestrian railing before lowering the truck several feet to the road below. A woman known to the alleged passenger picked up the man from the scene about two and a half hours after the incident. While he was waiting for his ride, he became belligerent with onlookers, head-butting one. Shanks said no one reported the man’s behavior and police didn’t witness the incidents, so the

man was not arrested or issued a citation. “Absent fighting words, there’s not a lot (police can make an arrest on),” Shanks said. About five minutes after the man left the scene, he returned to tell officers that he was the individual driving, not Bullard. “Hey, guy, I was driving that truck when it flipped almost upside down,” the man told police. “Will you guys arrest me? I can’t let my father go down for this.” The man was again released to the woman, but police continued to investigate the incident. Bobbi Reid, who lives

Ultimately, (lawmakers) have to decide if they want to fund it to the (level) where they can continue their mission, which I think has been somewhat irreparably damaged.”

Topeka Capital-Journal reported. The KBA helps invest in Kansas companies engaged in agribusiness, animal health, human health and life sciences. Although it will continue to meet its current obligations, its reputation has suffered because of the uncertainty about its future. “Ultimately, (lawmakers) have to decide if they want to fund it to the (level) where they can continue their mission, which I think has been somewhat irreparably damaged,” KBA President Duane Cantrell said. As originally envisioned, the KBA was to receive $35 million a year from the state. But over the past four years, only $23 million has made it to the agency as Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration often held appropriated funds back.

“While the governor supports the mission of the KBA, its operations must be conducted within its budgetary constraints,” Brownback spokeswoman Eileen Hawley said in an email. Four years ago, the KBA was caught up in a scandal over financial misconduct that led to a management overhaul. The Legislature took up a bill in May that would have killed the KBA and left it up to the Department of Commerce to wrap up the agency’s functions and obligations. The bill got a hearing in the Senate Ways and Means Committee, but it never went to a vote and thus didn’t advance. The issue could come up again next year.

Peterson has been with the association since 2005. Putnam said a search committee has been formed and that its goal is to name Corbett’s successor in the next three to six months. However, he said, the committee will take the time needed to ensure it finds the right person. He said strong leadership and relationshipbuilding skills would be key and that maintaining

All lanes of traffic were open by 6 p.m. Shanks said Thursday night city employees were working to place a barricade on the sidewalk until the guardrail can be fixed.

— Kansas Bioscience Authority President Duane Cantrell “I think what just happened with the layoffs, it’s premonition,” said Sen. Laura Kelly, a Topeka Democrat. “We being the Legislature will come back next year and pull out the bill and essentially abolish them.” A number of people spoke in favor of the KBA at the Senate hearing in May, with only one person speaking against it. Despite that, Rep. Lane Hemsley, a Topeka Republican who sits on the House Commerce Committee, indicated lawmakers are concerned about the state’s tight budget situation. “Nobody wants to see the biotech industry extinguished, but I think fiscal reality may necessitate further review,” he said.

The preliminary hearing for four defendants charged in the case of the alleged kidnapping and brutal abuse of a Lawrence woman in June were pushed out to a later date on Thursday. On June 19, Tabatha Jalayne Mallory, 25, of Lawrence, along with Christopher Cody Fast, 26, of Topeka, and Chelsea Rayne Adams, 23, of Edwardsville, were charged with aggravated kidnapping and aggravated battery in connection with the alleged threeday mental and physical abuse of their 22-year-old roommate, a mother of one. Anthony Wayne Thomas, 29, of Lawrence, was originally only charged with aggravated assault in connection with the incident, but prosecutor C.J. Rieg changed the charge to aggravated kidnapping and tacked on additional charges of aggravated battery and two counts of child endangerment. The codefendants were scheduled for a preliminary hearing Thursday, but the date was continued to Wednesday to allow time for attorneys to review case information. Also on Thursday, Thomas asked Douglas County Chief District Judge Robert Fairchild to lessen his bond from the current amount of $15,000. Thomas’ attorney, Craig Stancliffe, argued that his client

“

Given the charges, ($15,000) is an extremely low bond. Normally, bond would be a couple hundred thousand, at least (for the charges).” — Douglas County Chief District Judge Robert Fairchild could not afford the $15,000 and the amount was too high. “(Bond was set at $15,000) for what reason, I have no idea,” Stancliffe said, “I suppose to punish him up front.” Rieg argued that the $15,000 amount was still left over from when Thomas was only charged with aggravated assault, which would have yielded probation if convicted. She said the new charges would bring prison time if convicted, thus making Thomas a flight risk. Rieg said that if Thomas is convicted of the kidnapping charge, it would bring a 15.5-year minimum prison sentence. Fairchild said that because of the nature of the charges, he would not consider lowering the bond amount. “Given the charges, this is an extremely low bond,” Fairchild said. “Normally, bond would be a couple hundred thousand, at least (for the charges).” The four remain in the Douglas County Jail awaiting their next court appearance on Wednesday.

on how much we spend, not how wisely we spend it. And so people on the right conclude that since what we have done over 50 years hasn’t worked, all we need to do is cut the budgets and then put stringent requirements on poor people to discourage dependency,” he said. Woodson, 78, is the president and founder of the Washington-based Center for Neighborhood Enterprise, an organization that provides training and support for community and faith-based organizations to address issues such as child poverty, crime and neighborhood decay. The Kansas Department for Children and Families hired Woodson’s firm this year on a one-year contract for about $300,000 to conduct a series of two-day training sessions around the state, working with local governments, churches, schools and community organizations in different parts of the state. In his youth, Woodson said, he was a liberal activist in the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s and a strong supporter of the “Great Society” anti-poverty programs begun under President Lyndon Johnson. Over the years, though, he grew disillusioned with those programs, and he became more conservative, and even spent four years as a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a rightleaning think tank. Woodson said the social service industry needs to think like entrepreneurs. “The reason that the word ‘enterprise’ is in our name is because we believe principles in market economy apply to our social economy,” Woodson said. “Most innovation occurs at the smallest unit. It’s in the hearts and minds of individuals. It’s not at universities where academics sit and design solutions. It was all in the hearts and minds of individuals.” Woodson said his team has developed individualized projects in communities across the country, from helping residents of a high-crime public housing complex in St. Louis take over management of the complex, to identifying the leaders of warring gangs in Washington, D.C., and training them to become neighborhood and community leaders. “Imagination is more important than knowledge,” he said. “We just lack new creative thinking when it comes to helping poor people. It’s not about economic incentives — it’s how can we more intelligently invest in remedies that work.” The remainder of the conference was conducted by staff at the center who led participants through a series of exercises to identify critical issues in their communities and to brainstorm strategies for addressing them. The event in Salina also included participants from Hays, Great Bend and Pawnee County. It’s an initiative of the department’s Faith Based and Community Initiatives. But while Woodson occasionally drew references from the Bible to make his point, his basic message was more economic than religious. At times, Woodson’s message seemed out of sync with that of Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration, which has put a high priority on incentivizing traditional marriage as a means of combating childhood poverty. In 2012, DCF began publishing an annual State of the Family Report, which tracks education, employment and “family” data at both the statewide and county level to come up with an index to measure “family wellbeing.” Among the family-related trends it tracks are divorce rates, numbers of single-parent households and numbers of out-of-wedlock births. Jared Anderson, a Kansas State University pro-

fessor who is part of the team that compiles the report, said that “on average,” children from twoparent families fare better than those raised by single parents, but he cautioned against interpreting that too strictly. “There are a lot of kids from single-parent households who do fantastic, and there are other kids in married households who don’t do well at all because those households are troubled,” he said. “But on average, yes. Children do better with two parents because of resources, time, attention, emotional availability — a lot of things.” Deb Marseline, of Salina, who volunteers with a local nonprofit group called Circles of the Heartland, said one of the biggest issues facing her community involves job training and housing. “I think one of the things that we see as big challenges here is that manufacturers are talking about finding the skilled workers to do the jobs,”

she said. “And I think one of the challenges we have is finding affordable housing for workers that earn a manufacturing salary could live in.” Ken Loos, who works at the High Plains Mental Health Center in Hays, said there are unique challenges in northwest Kansas, a sparsely populated region of small towns and large wheat farms. “A lot of our clients earn $10,000 or less annually as an income,” he said. More than anything else, Loos said, he came to the summit to make connections and share ideas with people from other communities facing similar problems. “I think what I’m taking out of it is ‘community empowerment.’ We always think about how local government governs best. Well, an offshoot of that, then, is local communities recognizing problems and concerns they have and identifying some of the existing resources they have that can have an impact.”

and Innovation Way, the larger master plan section they are a part of — the most important one of his time at KU. Tentatively, the plan calls for building two facilities in the Irving Hill area currently home to Stouffer Place apartments, which closed permanently this summer. The average age of KU’s current science buildings is 59 years, and they are fraught with problems, Vitter said. Electricity outages, explosions and fire alarms triggered by experiments have led to a 30 percent loss in productivity time, he said. Precise temperature control, dust control and water quality needed for experiments also is lacking. Meanwhile, Vitter said basic chemistry lab enrollment has “zoomed” up and

Donors have made major gifts to enable a number of other new buildings on the KU campus in recent

years, including the new school of business and the new home for Naismith’s original rules of basketball, under construction now. Science buildings housing freshman and sophomore labs, while crucial for recruiting and retaining student and faculty researchers, simply aren’t as exciting for donors, Vitter said. He noted that science buildings were identified in KU Endowment’s last fundraising campaign, KU First, some 15 years ago but “went nowhere.” “Now it’s getting to be crucial,” Vitter said.

Boon for Baker Access to super-fast Internet service will be an attractive selling point for students and faculty at Baker University.

mall colleges like Baker University in Baldwin City offer a number of advantages for some students over larger schools like Kansas University. By the beginning of the coming fall semester at Baker, one of those advantages will be super-fast broadband service. RG Fiber, which is based in Baldwin City, is rolling out gigabit broadband service in that community and is making Baker its first customer. By mid-August, the company says, the super-fast Internet services will be available at Baker’s academic buildings, sports venues, student union and residence halls. That means Baker students will have access to an Internet system that most KU students would envy. Baker certainly benefited by the presence of RG Fiber in Baldwin City, but this is an area where small campuses generally may have an advantage over their larger counterparts. Providing super-fast Internet to the number of students and buildings served by Baker is a far smaller challenge than providing the same service to a campus the size of KU’s. Once Baker is hooked up, RG Fiber will extend the faster service to the rest of Baldwin City and then to Eudora. The company also plans to move into the Lawrence market but not until at least 2016. The first phase of the service in Lawrence probably will be near major city streets that already have cityowned fiber in the rights-of-way. It’s uncertain what the plans are to extend the service to KU. It’s not clear how big a selling point the gigabit Internet service could be for a school like Baker, but it is an attractive amenity for many students who can tap into the service for a variety of academic and entertainment uses. At least for now, that’s a service KU and other major universities can’t match.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for July 24, 1915: “J. M. Johnson, who represents the Baker Manufacturing comyears pany of Springfield, Illinois, is in ago the city today looking over the IN 1915 ground preparatory to starting a campaign toward selling the board of city commissioners a street sweeper. The machine which the commission went to Independence, Mo., to look at several days ago was one that Mr. Johnson had sold and he is an ardent believer in the superiority of sweepers over flushers. At the present the board is divided on the matter.... ‘While I have both kinds of the street cleaners for sale,’ said Mr. Johnson this morning, ‘I know that the sweeper is much the better proposition for Lawrence. The construction of the brick pavements here is such that the use of a flusher would be a big mistake. The sand and filler between the bricks would be washed out and soon the street paving would be ruined.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

‘Lone wolf’ terrorism hard to combat Washington — “He acknowledged the truth, he gives (allegiance), the order has been given, his heart beats, he accepts, butterflies kick in. ... The target is given, the anticipation is over, a sense of relief.” With this stream-of-consciousness narrative, an Islamic State fighter using the name of Abu Abdullah Britani posted this call May 10 on Twitter to would-be jihadists in the West. Don’t secondguess yourself, he cautioned, in messages translated by the SITE Intelligence Group. “Thoughts going through your head, how many will be killed, how will they react, but you snap out. ...” This is the menacing but murky face of the “lone wolf” attackers that U.S. counterterrorism officials see as an emerging threat for the American homeland. They’re disparate, confused, Internetsavvy, eager for self-promotion and hard to find. Their very anonymity is frightening, to the point that one Middle East expert worried aloud last week, after the still puzzling Chattanooga murders by Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez, that America was “one attack away” from a national furor about the lonewolf threat. Terror, of course, is precisely what these Internet recruiters want to generate. But U.S. officials caution that the best response is calm, steady work by police and intelligence agencies — and a resilient public. “It’s a problem we’ll have for the foreseeable

“

The new lone-wolf era will test America’s ability to balance security and civil liberties, hopefully more wisely than was the case in the overreaction after Sept. 11, 2001.” future,” says one official who deals closely with the problem. “The U.S. is much better off than other parts of the world, but we have a lower threshold (of pain).” After the Chattanooga attack, administration from the top down warned that the problem doesn’t have quick or easy fixes. “This threat of lone wolves and small cells is hard to detect and prevent,” President Obama told the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Pittsburgh on Tuesday. He promised “to keep doing everything in our power” to protect the country. But officials admit that the best measures are the simplest — communities watching for signs that may predict violent behavior, and a public that doesn’t panic when attacks come.

FBI Director James Comey was frank this week in Salt Lake City about the “troubled souls” the online jihadists are trying to mobilize. “Their message is travel to the Caliphate, their so-called Islamic wonder world. Join us here in Iraq or Syria, and if you can’t travel, kill somebody where you are. Kill somebody in uniform, preferably in the military or law enforcement, but just kill somebody.” Comey isn’t exaggerating. On May 24, an Islamic State fighter calling himself Abu Awlaki tweeted: “I don’t understand my ikwa (brothers) in the west. How can u walk past a police officer without stabbing him?” Last week, a fighter named Sayfullah al-Yemani posted a call to African-Americans: “I know there are black brothers who are fighting eliminationism and racism and need help. I urge you to embrace Islam and give Ba’yah (oath of fealty).” In these jihadist postings, the brutal call to war is mixed with fantasies that might be drawn from a video game. That’s one reason some U.S. counterterrorism experts such as Michael Leiter, former head of the National Counterterrorism Center, don’t often use the phrase “lone wolves.” They prefer “lone offenders,” which doesn’t play into the jihadists’ self-dramatization. What troubles U.S. officials is the problem Comey has described as “going dark.” He says the FBI can’t break the strong encryption that com-

munications and IT companies are offering users. He told Congress this month that he doesn’t want greater surveillance authority, but rather technical help from IT companies to access encrypted information “to ensure that we can continue to obtain electronic information ... to keep us safe.” This presumably means “back doors” for decryption, which many companies resist. The new lone-wolf era will test America’s ability to balance security and civil liberties, hopefully more wisely than was the case in the overreaction after Sept. 11, 2001. It’s a delicate task. More attacks will drive new calls to crack down through surveillance and more aggressive policing — creating more jihadists. The jihadists’ tech skills are undeniable. Nearly every day, the SITE Intelligence Group translates new postings offering tutorials on encryption, phishing, secure messaging and other tools. One techie has even created an Islamic State version of the online game “Flappy Bird.” Here’s a taunting message tweeted this month by a jihadist named Kacamack: “where you are with whatever tool you have at your disposal. ... Or is it that you are all just talk and no walk?” The right response to these taunts, say U.S. officials, is to keep cool and avoid playing the terrorists’ game. — David Ignatius is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Lift finance limits but identify donors By Doyle McManus Los Angeles Times

A remarkable thing just happened in the chaotic race for the Republican presidential nomination, and it wasn’t the rise of Donald Trump. It was the impressive numbers reported for the first stage of the GOP’s “money primary”: the competition to raise the hundreds of millions of dollars a White House campaign requires. Jeb Bush’s campaign and its affiliated organizations had raised more than $114 million by the end of June. That’s more than any non-incumbent has ever raised this early in a campaign. At this point four years ago, Mitt Romney had raised about $30 million. A Bush aide said the early haul was intended to send a dose of “shock and awe” through the race, but it didn’t frighten anyone out. Bush’s top rivals showed that they could raise enough to compete. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz raised $52 million; Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, about $45 million; and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who wasn’t even a candidate last month, $32 million. Other challengers finished well behind. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul reported raising only $7 million, a disappointment. So maybe the GOP field isn’t as chaotic as it looks. If money matters — and, as any campaign manager will tell you, it does — there are only four candidates with a real shot: Bush, Cruz, Rubio and Walker. There’s one more thing about those fundraising numbers that’s important: They’re so big because the money was raised mostly by the candidates’ “super PACs,” not their campaign committees. That’s a huge change in the way presidential campaigns work, and it has consequences. Traditional presidential campaigns can raise money up to a ceiling of $5,400 per donor — $2,700 for the primary campaign plus $2,700 for the general election. When that was the only option, candidates had to ask thousands of people for contributions — and not only rich people.

“

There’s something tawdry about a system that allows a candidate to set up a super PAC, appoint its managers and appear at its fundraisers — but then requires him or her to maintain an artificial distance from its actual operations.”

But super PACs, spawned by a series of Supreme Court decisions including Citizens United, can accept donations of any size. As a result, candidates can now finance much of their advertising by raising money from a smaller number of big donors, making those donors even more influential than they were before. Bush’s total receipts of $119 million, for example, included $103 million raised by his super PAC, mostly in large amounts. At one point, the super PAC reportedly told donors it would limit donations to $1 million per person, apparently for appearances’ sake. (The donors’ identities won’t be reported until July 31.) Legally, there’s a flip side to the super PACs’ freedom

to raise big money: The committees are prohibited from “coordinating” their actions with the candidate or the campaign. But inventive political strategists have found ways to minimize that restriction. There’s something tawdry about a system that allows a candidate to set up a super PAC, appoint its managers and appear at its fundraisers — but then requires him or her to maintain an artificial distance from its actual operations. And it gets worse. In another innovation, candidates are setting up “social welfare” organizations, taxexempt entities that don’t even need to disclose who their donors are. On paper, those committees are supposed to pay for messages that focus on public policy, not a particular candidacy. But Rubio’s social welfare committee is already running commercials that feature the senator denouncing President Obama’s nuclear agreement with Iran — a campaign advertisement in poor disguise. Others are certain to follow suit. Don’t Democrats do this too? Yes — most of them, at least. But this year, the action has been on the GOP side; the Democrats’ numbers have been smaller, and

they haven’t funneled so much into super PACs. Hillary Rodham Clinton has reported $69 million in fundraising, a total that’s second only to Bush. But unlike Bush, less than half of her money came through her super PAC. Bernie Sanders reported raising $15 million, all in traditional campaign donations (and most from small donors). In keeping with his message that campaign finance needs immediate reform, he doesn’t even have a super PAC. There’s no simple solution to the campaign spending problem — at least, no solution that wins support in both parties. Obama and Clinton have endorsed a constitutional amendment reimposing limits on donations, but constitutional amendments are very hard to pass. I find myself drawn reluctantly toward de-regulation: Lift the ceilings on donations; as a practical matter, they’re already gone. But make the donors identify themselves, and make the candidates take responsibility for their fundraising and their expenditures. That wouldn’t be pretty, but it could hardly be worse than what we have now. — Doyle McManus is a columnist for the Los Angeles Times. His email address is doyle.mcmanus@ latimes.com.

about it, you take the bus to get a Tijuana Taxi. (It is a delicious Yellow Sub Sandwich, and yes, I am afraid to ask the origins of its name.) If you want to walk an extra two minutes, you can get to the CVS on the southeast corner of 23rd and Iowa. And, I know what you are thinking: You would have to be crazy to try to walk across 23rd Street, but the intersection there has made that crossing — at least on 23rd Street — much easier. So, with an approximately five-minute walk, you have a lot of amenities to choose from. Transit riders are probably some of the best walkers in the city. Is a five minute walk going to discourage them much? I don’t know. It seems a reasonable question though. I asked Boley about it, and he thinks the site at 21st and Iowa is problematic for a number of reasons. He’s thrown out an idea that has a real twist to it: Ninth and Iowa streets, but in Centennial Park rather than in the parking lot behind The Merc. That likely would open a whole other can of worms related to whether the city wants to decrease its park space to accommodate lots of buses. Don’t get me wrong: I’m no transit site expert. And, furthermore, I don’t particularly care whether the hub goes at 21st and Iowa streets. But as someone who has watched City Hall a long time, I sense the transit system entering a danger zone. The biggest risk to the system is that commissioners get bogged down in trying to find a transit site, and the job doesn’t get done before the 2018 election, the transit system isn’t operating the way leaders want it to, and the system suffers at the polls. Another possibility is that a transit hub is chosen late in the game, and the city hasn’t got all the kinks worked out of the new route system before voters go to the polls. Maybe it won’t matter at all. It is tough to predict how voters will think at any given moment. But this much is clear: The city has been trying to figure out the location for a transit hub for more than two years. That’s a long time. As interim City Manager Diane Stoddard pointed out to commissioners on Tuesday, there is never going to be a perfect site for the hub. And she reminded commissioners that getting a site is really important to the future of the T. “The site is really key to us being able to provide better service, which I think is one of the things we talked to voters about a number of years ago” Stoddard said. — This is an excerpt from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column , which appears each weekday at LJWorld.com.

Heading into that vote, prognosticators weren’t sure how the public would respond. It could be close, we thought, because there were significant pockets of discontent with the city’s transit system. Instead, the tax measure won every single precinct in Lawrence. It continues to be one of the more lopsided elections I’ve ever covered. It seemed Lawrence had buried the hatchet on the T, or the empTy, as its detractors called it. Today, questions are back, and the loudest ones are coming from City Hall. They started to get louder on Tuesday night when commissioners balked at the idea of installing a new transit hub near 21st and Iowa streets. Commissioners rejected a proposal to build the hub on the vacant piece of KU Endowmentowned property that is just south of the city’s Fire Station No. 5. They didn’t settle on a different location to build a transit hub, which basically is the place where buses congregate and riders make transfers to other buses on a regular basis. Talk of locations near Ninth and Iowa and perhaps near 19th and Iowa, where KU’s Stouffer Place apartments are in the process of being demolished, were discussed as possibilities. Now, I want to be clear, I don’t think Lawrence city commissioners are trying to kill the T. But just because they’re not trying to, doesn’t mean that it won’t happen. The big issue facing the transit system is that the very successful sales tax approved by voters in 2008 came with a 10-year sunset. Voters are likely going to be asked to approve a renewal of that sales tax in 2018. If they don’t renew the tax, the T is likely back in jeopardy again. The transit hub plays a key role in this because transit leaders want to get on with the work of redesigning transit routes to make them more efficient. But they can’t redesign routes until they know where the system’s hub is going to be located. And they say that they can’t get the type of route efficiency they want by having a hub in downtown because the downtown area is too congested to accommodate the number of buses that need to come to a hub. The 21st and Iowa location has been a favorite of transit leaders because it is centrally located in the city, and to boot, KU Endowment is offering a long-term, no-cost lease for the city to use the land. Plus, it is what is available. The city has tried to swing a deal to put the hub at Ninth and Iowa, behind

The Merc, but the property owner isn’t interested. Commissioners balked at the site for a variety of reasons, but one of the louder critics of the site has been Commissioner Stuart Boley. He’s said the site is a poor one because it doesn’t offer any amenities for riders. In particular, he’s talking about opportunities for riders to get off the bus and spend some money. That would be possible at the Ninth and Iowa site, he notes. Commissioner Matthew Herbert at various times has echoed those comments. Both have said they like the idea of a “destination hub.” That is an issue that may benefit from some perspective. One issue to understand is the nature of a bus transfer, particularly under the new route system that city transit leaders envision. Under the new system, the average time a rider would be waiting at the hub to make a transfer is about 3 minutes, transit administrator Bob Nugent has told me. So, for someone to decide they are going to want to do some shopping at the transit hub, they are going to have to decide to delay their trip. I’m sure some folks would do that. But if they are willing to delay their trip, they can shop anywhere up and down the route that they happen to be on. For example, your bus goes by Dillons, you have the bus stop near Dillons, you get off and do some shopping, then you catch the next bus when it comes by in about 30 minutes. Dillons doesn’t need to be at the hub for you to do some shopping. That said, I’m sure there are some benefits to having the shopping convenient to the hub. But, it seems a question worth pondering is, how isolated is 21st and Iowa streets? I decided to do a little test. I did a little walking yesterday in my cowboy boots and black suit to see how far you really are from amenities at 21st and Iowa. There is a big tree in the center of the site proposed for the transit hub. So I started there and timed how long it took me to get to the shopping center on the northeast corner of 23rd and Iowa streets. It took me three minutes and 30 seconds to get to CiCi’s Pizza. I think that qualifies as a destination. Of course, there is quite a bit more to do at that shopping center. There is Cork & Barrel next door to CiCi’s. There is Hastings next door, which would allow you to shop for books, music or even buy a guitar to serenade fellow bus riders with. There are numerous restaurants at the site. In fact, I think you could even win some sort of national transit award by taking the bus to get to the famed sandwich shop The Yellow Sub. Think

Special for USA TODAY

Scientists have spotted a planet much the same size as our Earth orbiting a star that closely resembles our sun, making it the most likely known place outside our solar system to harbor life. The newfound planet, Kepler-452b, “is the closest thing we have to another place that somebody else might call home,” Jon Jenkins of NASA’s Ames Research Center told reporters Thursday. The planet has been at just the right temperature to boast liquid water for some 6 billion years, “a considerable time and opportunity for life to arise somewhere on its surface or in its oceans,” assuming the place has all the necessary ingredients for life, Jenkins said. Researchers have found other planets outside the solar system that are nearly the same size as the

Earth cousin spotted by Kepler telescope Earth and that are probably rocky, as Earth is. But those planets circle dim, cool stars very different from our own sun, whereas 452b is hitched to a star very much like ours. If we could send plants to 452b, Jenkins said, they could comfortably photosynthesize. “We want to find planets around solar-type stars like our sun, because we’re here on Earth and we know that there’s life here, and we’re around a solar-type star,” Jeffrey Coughlin of the SETI Institute told reporters today. The new planet is about 60% bigger in diameter than Earth, the researchers said. It has a better-than-even chance of having a rocky surface, which would make a good platform for life to gain a foothold. Assuming it’s rocky, it would have active volcanoes and

perhaps a thick atmosphere. This new Earth cousin was spotted by NASA’s Kepler telescope, which watched for barely perceptible dips in the amount of light coming from stars in the constellations Lyra and Cygnus. The planet, which is some 1,400 light-years from Earth, is described in a new article in The Astronomical Journal. Other scientists who were not involved in the research called 452b an exciting example of a planet in the “Goldilocks” zone, where it’s neither too hot nor too cold for liquid water to persist. “You could say this is the first viable ‘Goldilocks’ planet — with dozens more potentially,” said MIT astronomer Sara Seager via email. All the same, it’s not clear that 452b is rocky. It could be made of ice, or it could have a thick hydrogen envelope that would choke off the possibility of life, said astronomer Joshua Pepper of Lehigh University.

How vulnerable is your car to hackers? That question has gained urgency after Wired magazine documented a staged incident in which hackers remotely disabled a Jeep SUV, leaving its hapless journalist driver stranded in a ditch. The short answer is that modern cars are ripe for cyber mayhem. Cars have become smartphones on wheels — giant rolling cages of software code controlling brakes, steering and propulsion, not to mention radio, weather apps and air conditioning.

GEORGE PETRAS AND FRANK POMPA, USA TODAY

The Veterans Health Administration has 41,500 job vacancies for doctors, nurses and other medical professionals across its sprawling health care system while it struggles to provide timely medical care for veterans, according to records analyzed by USA TODAY. The failure to fully staff hospitals is one reason why the Department of Veterans Affairs paid for 1.5 million veterans to see doctors outside the agency in the past year, VA Deputy Secretary Sloan Gibson testified late last month. Those private visits have cost U.S. taxpayers more than $7.7 billion, the VA said. The expenses left the VA with a $2.6 billion shortfall this year, prompting VA Secretary Bob McDonald to plead with lawmakers Thursday to quickly pass a bill that would give him flexibility to shift money within the VA budget to cover the gap. Gibson testified before Congress June 26 that the shortfall would not have been so large “if we were fully staffed up.” Neither McDonald nor Gibson told Congress how many medical jobs are unfilled in its 150-hospital system, which funds roughly 210,000 full-time medical positions. Instead, both told lawmakers they have increased medical and non-medical staff by 12,000 in the past year. USA TODAY discovered the 41,500 vacancies as of late June in data obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request. The full- and part-time positions include openings for 5,000 physicians, nearly 12,000 nurses and more than 1,200 psychologists, according to the data. Janet Murphy, deputy undersecretary for health operations and management, confirmed the 41,500 vacancies, saying the VA is working hard to recruit and hire medical professionals. “I will say some of these facilities have too many vacancies and they need to get them filled and we need to help them fill them,” she said. Murphy said the VA was competing in a tough market to attract medical professionals. One reason she cited was President Obama’s expanded health insurance program that has made medical professionals more in demand. In addition, pay for many VA positions is lower than in the private sector.

Pentagon: Poor testing led to Army shipping live anthrax Alison Young and Tom Vanden Brook USA TODAY

A Pentagon investigation blames inadequate killing and testing of anthrax specimens among the main causes of why an Army lab mistakenly shipped live spores for a decade that ended up at 183 labs in the USA and abroad, according to a report released Thursday on the military’s investigation of the blunders. “By any measure, this was a massive institutional failure,” Deputy Secretary of Defense Bob Work said Thursday.

The Pentagon review found that when the Army’s Dugway Proving Ground in Utah killed a batch of anthrax with radiation, it only tested 5% of the material to see if all the spores were dead. The small sample size was “prone to error,” the report said. “We believe there were indicators that people should have known there was a problem,” Work said. He has directed Secretary of the Army John McHugh to conduct an accountability assessment. Dugway’s own records, based on its limited testing, showed a 20% failure rate for inactivating anthrax specimens, the

Eighty-six labs received live anthrax.

Pentagon found. The military’s ongoing investigation has determined that Dugway sent live anthrax specimens to at least 86 labs operated by companies, academic institutions and government agencies for use

in developing tests and equipment to protect against bioterror attacks. Those labs are in the USA and seven foreign countries: Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Italy and Germany. But some of those labs shared their samples with other re-

searchers. Further tracing by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has identified an additional 97 labs that received live specimens, bringing the total to 183, the CDC said late Thursday. Though no illnesses have been linked to the specimens, at least 21 people who had direct contact with the specimens have been given antibiotics as a precaution. House Energy and Commerce Committee has scheduled a hearing Tuesday to examine the effectiveness of federal oversight of labs working with potential bioterrorism pathogens that will focus on Dugway’s anthrax mistakes.

Trump repeats wall pledge at border Security heavy for candidate’s trip to edge of Texas David Jackson USA TODAY

Donald Trump spent Thursday touring the U.S.-Mexico border, the area that has fueled his rise in Republican politics and spawned criticism of him by opponents and Hispanic groups. “There is a huge problem with the illegals coming through,” Trump said, repeating his pledge to build a wall on parts of the border. “In certain sections, you have to have a wall,” Trump said. Under attack for accusing Mexico of sending “criminals” and “rapists” across the U.S. border, Trump said he supports legal immigration, and claimed that most Hispanics agree with him. The New York businessman, wearing a white hat with the slogan “Make America Great Again,” said he employs “thousands” of Hispanics, and his relationships with them are very good. A group of protesters greeted Trump when his plane landed Thursday in Laredo, a city with a population that is nearly 96% Latino. One critic, referring to the businessman’s recent criticism of Sen.

Former Texas governor Rick Perry said he’s glad the businessman is “finally” traveling to the border, and “I hope he will explain to the Hispanic Americans he meets why he thinks they are rapists and murderers.” During a brief news conference, someone told Trump that

“killers come from all over the globe.” Trump replied, “I agree with that.” Trump, who had questioned the safety of the trip, traveled to border areas in a long motorcade with heavy security, including

roadblocks that backed up local traffic. Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, criticized local elected officials in Laredo for accommodating the visitor. “Donald Trump just used you and the other council members to make him look good,” he said in a tweet. “Embarrassing for South Texas and Hispanics.” The Republican candidate, who’s leading recent national polls, met with local law enforcement officials, with one notable exception: A union of border patrol agents says its members would not accompany him because, they said, the event had be-

come too politicized. “Just to be clear, an endorsement was never discussed for any presidential candidate,” said a statement from Hector Garza, president of Local 2455 of the National Border Patrol Council. “Local 2455 does not endorse candidates for any political office.” Trump said border agents extended the invitation in order to show the “tremendous problems” and “tremendous crime” they have to deal with. He accused the agents’ superiors in Washington of silencing them just ahead of the visit, and said that agents “want to be able to do their jobs.” In his statement, Garza said the intention to meet with Trump “was to provide a ‘Boots on the Ground’ perspective to not only Mr. Trump, but to the media that would be in attendance at this event.” Garza also said, “Make no mistake. Our border with Mexico is not secure, and there’s no doubt that we need to have an honest discussion about that with the American people.” Trump has made illegal immigration the centerpiece of his campaign, but also has drawn criticism from immigration groups who say the businessman is anti-Hispanic. After his tour, Trump pledged to drive tougher trade deals with Mexico, China, and other global competitors. “I’ll bring those jobs back, and the Hispanics are going to get those jobs,” Trump said.

Vehicles’ cyberware is open to infection v CONTINUED FROM 1B

The Wired hackers, Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek, targeted the 2014 Jeep Cherokee because they deemed it among the most hackable based on a survey of two dozen different models. Other vehicles they found particularly vulnerable included Toyota Motor’s 2014 Infiniti Q50 and Prius, General Motors’ 2015 Cadillac Escalade, the 2014 Ford Fusion, the 2014 BMW X3 and i12 and the 2014 Range Rover Evoque. Cars most susceptible to hacking attempts are among the newest vehicles on the road, typically having Internet connectivity, mapping capability or infotainment systems linked to other networks on the car, such as those operating brakes and propulsion. The “least hackable” vehicles surveyed were the 2014 Dodge Viper, 2014 Audi A8 and 2014 Honda Accord. In February, CBS’ 60 Minutes demonstrated how a General Motors car could be hacked through its OnStar connectivity system. The test was done in conjunction with a researcher from the U.S. military’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, which is trying to eliminate the threats. “Everything is hackable,” said Thilo Koslowski, who heads the automotive practice group for Gartner, a technology advisory firm. “But remember that the automotive industry invented the term firewall. Now they need to apply it to bits and bytes.” INTERNET ACCESS

Like personal computers, cars can’t be completely shielded from digital intrusion. One crucial step is to ensure that communication networks such as those responsible for brakes and acceleration cannot be accessed via the Internet. “This is a violation of some very basic and known best practices,” said Steve Manzuik, director of security research at Duo Security, whose investors include Google. “It is this practice that makes attacks like what happened with the Jeep example possible.” The Wired hackers accessed their Jeep Cherokee remotely by penetrating its UConnect infotainment system and reprogramming the vehicle. That was alarming for industry watchers who had questioned whether hackers could infiltrate a vehicle’s systems without wired connections inside the cabin. “It’s hard to do, but the fact that it’s possible is disconcerting,” said Matt Clemens, a security solutions architect at Arxan Technologies. The average modern car has about 16 “clear attack points,” according to Frost & Sullivan, a

Charlie Miller, left, and Chris Valasek, exposed the security vulnerabilities in automobiles by hacking into cars remotely. business management consultant. Those include routes that aren’t immediately obvious to the average driver, such as seemingly harmless tire-pressure monitoring systems. The good news: Hackers have not shown much interest in cars. There has never been a documented incident of hackers causing an accident on the roadways. For one thing, there’s little financial incentive to attack vehicles. By directing their energy into computers and mobile devices, hackers can steal financial information. Cars typically don’t store much personal data. Sophisticated hackers simply looking to create mayhem could do some damage. “It’s creeping closer to where you could say that could be a malicious hacker,” said Richard Wallace, director of transportation systems analysis for the Center for the Automotive Research. The auto companies say they’re investing heavily in R&D and sharing information with each other to improve vehicle cyber security. GM hired a chief product cyber security officer, Jeff Massimilla, in 2014. Ford said it integrates cyber security principles into its de-

sign “from the outset” of the product development process. “We are not aware of any instance in which a Ford vehicle was infiltrated or compromised in the field,” a Ford statement said. A few weeks before the Wired report, carmakers representing 98% of vehicles on the road agreed to join a new consortium called the Auto Information Sharing Advisory Center (ISAC), which will allow manufacturers to share information on cyber security measures without violating antitrust laws.

“They’re staffing up with a lot of really good software engineers, or they’re teaming with software companies that are already ahead of the game on this,” said Jon Allen, a consultant on ISAC. Some lawmakers in Washington are disgruntled over the industry’s response. Sens. Ed Markey, D-Mass., and Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., introduced long-in-the-making legislation Tuesday that would require federal regulators to establish cyber security standards and ratings for the automakers. Markey released a report in February accusing the auto industry of “a clear lack of appropriate security measures to protect drivers against hackers.” Resilient cyber security technology is particularly vital as software engineers pack cars with code to handle automated driving systems. Analysts expect fully driverless cars to hit the roadways within the next decade or two.

Although over-the-air updates could open cars to other vulnerabilities, experts say they’re a critical step to enable quick fixes. “It needs to be easier for them to mass update their vehicles. ... Most of the people driving out there won’t bother to update if it’s hard to do,” said Clemens, the Arxan security solutions architect. Automakers are hesitant to say much publicly about their cyber security efforts. That’s partly because they don’t want to make themselves a target for hackers looking for a challenge. They also don’t want to scare customers into believing there’s a serious problem. Many consumers will avoid products they view as susceptible to hacking. Frost & Sullivan analyst Praveen Narayanan said it’s crucial for automakers to consider cyber security concerns at the beginning of their product design process. He urged consumers not to panic. “Yes, there is a growing concern,” Narayanan said. “But let’s not get too much ahead of ourselves. All of this noise is coming from the security community — the community that wants business at the end of the day.” Corrections & Clarifications USA TODAY is committed to accuracy.

NEXT, DRIVERLESS CARS

When computers are driving cars, the bar will be higher. Semiautonomous technologies are already here. General Motors and Tesla Motors are introducing features this year that will allow luxury cars to self-steer in highway lanes. “There’s all these benefits we’re getting from this technology, but it also is giving control of the vehicle over to computers — and those computers might start being controlled by someone,” said Karl Brauer, an analyst with Kelley Blue Book. One way for automakers to shore up cyber security is by adopting systems that allow overthe-air software updates. Luxury automakers such as Tesla Motors and BMW can already do this. When BMW discovered a flaw that could have allowed hackers to open vehicle doors using a smartphone, it set a security fix over the air to cars this year.

CHEMO WON’T HELP END-STAGE CANCER Study finds quality of life is often harmed rather than improved Liz Szabo

USA TODAY

A new study finds that half of cancer patients received chemotherapy in their final months of life, even though the therapy — which can cause nausea, vomiting and other grueling side effects — had no chance of curing them. Doctors often prescribe chemo to people in the end stages of cancer in the hope that the drugs will shrink patients’ tumors and make them feel better, said study co-author Holly Prigerson, co-director of the Center for Research on End-of-Life Care at Weill Cornell

Summer is so bad here that cops arrest weathermen

t gives a whole new meaning to the concept of an AMBER Alert. Fed-up police in Canada’s Newfoundland and Labrador have become so desperate about the lack of good weather in recent weeks that they have issued a plea to locate the missing season. Yes, the hunt is on for summer — that period of hot weather fueled by that bright, amber-colored orb otherwise known as the sun. “SUMMER was last seen in early August of 2014,” said a pitiful press release from the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC). “When last seen, SUMMER was described as being between 20-30 degrees Celsius (68-86 degrees Fahrenheit), blue skies with a bright and warm source of light in the sky. There have been sporadic sightings of this bright object, but these sightings have been rare since May 2015.” Kind of dreary: Newfoundland is a lovely place, but this summer has been plagued with rain, drizzle and fog, known by locals as RDF.

(RDF, to locals) in the province, which is situated in the far east of the country. An RNC officer even came by the CBC and NTV stations in the provincial capital, St. John’s, to take the woeful weathermen into custody. Said police spokesman Constable Steven Curnew, tongue somewhat in cheek, after he arrested Snoddon: “He’s being charged with impersonating a meteorologist, failing to provide the essentials of summer — that being sunshine, good forecasts and blue skies — and we also have him on trafficking of RDF.” And at NTV, Curnew had similar comments about Sheer, adding, however, that the consequences could be more dire. “With Eddie being from the United States,” he warned, “he could possibly be facing deportation. Unfortunately, due to the weather, it could be two weeks before we could get a flight out of St.

City Marshal Brian Pope confirmed to The (Lafayette) Daily Advertiser that six people were injured at the Grand Theatre. The shooter then turned the gun on himself and is dead, Pope said.

The slab of stone in an obscure museum was labeled “unknown fossil vertebrate.” But when British paleontologist David Martill saw it, he knew at once that it was something extraordinary. “I thought, ‘Blimey! That’s a snake!’ … Then I looked more closely and said, ‘Bloody hell! It’s got back legs!’” says Martill, of Britain’s University of Portsmouth. When he noticed the fossil also had front legs, “I realized we’d actually got the missing link between lizards and snakes.” Martill and his colleagues say the fossil, dating back 110 to 125 million years and found in Brazil at an unknown date, is the first snake ever discovered with four legs.

JAYNE CLARK, USA TODAY

Local meteorologist Ryan Snoddon of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) even launched a competition asking residents to come up with a new name for July, explaining on his blog that it has been the worst summer in more than 20 years. “This July is not only shaping up to be the coldest since 1993 ... it will very likely end an amazing run of 21 straight years where the average July high was 20 degrees or warmer. That stat is even more impressive when you look back between 1942-1993 and find that the previous longest trend of 20 degrees or warmer, was just four years in row!” But Snoddon’s weather-geeky excitement cannot hide the fact that he and fellow prognosticator Eddie Sheer of NTV are taking much of the blame for the lousy conditions. In late June, Snoddon predicted sunny weather for July, a month that, so far, has delivered a diet of rain, drizzle and fog

The default option for patients expected to live less than six months should be to withhold chemo, according to an editorial accompanying the study, written by Charles Blanke and Erik Fromme, physicians at Oregon Health and Science University. Doctors should only prescribe chemo for these patients after talking to patients about their “prognosis, goals, fears and acceptable trade-offs,” they wrote. Many doctors never initiate these difficult conversations. “We as oncologists don’t want to give up on people, and patients don’t want to be given up on,” Smith said. A growing number of hospitals now offer palliative care, which focuses on relieving symptoms and providing support to patients and families, Smith said.

rise to today’s boas, rattlers and copperheads could’ve looked like this new specimen, the researchers say. The fossil also illuminates how early snakes survived the Early Cretaceous. One clue comes from the remains of an animal — perhaps a salamander or frog — in the animal’s gut. The fossil also had a hinged jaw and curved teeth. All that suggests “snakes really early on, 100 million years ago, were already eating meat,” says study coauthor Nicholas Longrich of Britain’s University of Bath. The fossil coils on its slab, which researchers take as a sign that it was able to squeeze its meals into submission. Thus its scientific name: Tetrapodophis amplectus, or “four-footed snake that embraces.” “Huggy the Snake,” Longrich jokes, “because he hugged his prey.” Huggy’s tiny limbs are equipped with long “fingers” and toes, reminiscent of the appendages of sloths or bats. There are skeptics of Huggy being related to snakes. Michael Caldwell of the University of Alberta says via email that the specimen lacks “key features” of the vertebrae that would identify it as a snake. But Longrich says the fossil had more than 150 vertebrae in its back and neck and a layer of large, flat scales on its belly. Those traits are “uniquely snake-like,” he says.

Wildfires have burned a phenomenal 5.5 million acres across the U.S. so far this year, an area equal to the size of New Jersey. This is the 2nd-highest total in at least the past 25 years, according to data from the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise. Only 2011, which saw 5.8 million acres charred as of July 23 of that year, had more. On average, at this point in the year, 3.5 million acres would have burned. As of Thursday afternoon, 18 wildfires were burning in seven states, mostly in the West. This includes one in California’s wine country that has forced numerous evacuations and is being fought by hundreds of firefighters, CALFIRE, the state’s firefighting agency, reported. Summertime heat and ongoing drought conditions have left vegetation starved of moisture throughout the West, making it more susceptible to catching fire and starting a massive wildfire, AccuWeather reports.

E-commerce giant tops forecasts with 20% revenue gain Elizabeth Weise @eweise USA TODAY

Amazon surprised Wall Street with a profit in the second quarter, sending shares 18% higher after hours. The e-commerce giant said revenue for the three months ended in June rose 20% to $23.1 SAN FRANCISCO

Amazon stock has been sweet for investors.

billion on a profit of $92 million, or $0.19 cents a share. Analysts were expecting Ama-

zon to post a net loss of $0.14 per share on $22.4 billion in revenue, according to estimates from Thomson Financial. The results also topped its own forecast that second-quarter sales would increase between 7% and 18%, to between $20.6 billion and $22.8 billion. Its outlook was a sweetener for investors. For the September quarter, Amazon said Thursday it expects to post sales of between $23.3 billion and $25.5 billion, a growth rate of 13% to 24%. Analysts were predicting revenues of between $22.9 billion and $24.7

billion for the third quarter. Amazon stock has been doing well overall. Shares hit a 52-week high of $493.20 on Monday. In after hours trading Thursday, they were up to $568.98. Over the past year and a half, Amazon has been quite volatile at earnings time, said Colin Gillis, an analyst with BGC Partners in New York. “Billions of dollars are being made, billions are being destroyed,” he said. “You’ve got two big up moves on earnings and then the four quarters before that were four big down moves. You

have to go back to the June quarter of 2013 to see the stock move less than 7% either way on earnings.” Last quarter, Amazon topped Wall Street expectations, based in large part by the news, broken out by the company for the first time, that its cloud computing services had net sales of $1.6 billion. Amazon’s big Prime Day sale last week won’t affect this quarter’s earnings, though it was expected to be much-discussed on the company’s earnings call later in the day.

MONEYLINE OIL PRICES DRIP LOWER Oil prices fell further a day after U.S. benchmark crude tumbled below $50 a barrel for the first time since April as bloated U.S. inventories and the prospect of increased Iranian crude shipments fueled concerns about swelling supplies as demand is waning. West Texas crude for September delivery fell 39 cents, or 0.8%, to $48.80 a barrel after dropping 2.3% on Wednesday.

The House bill is backed by the food industry. The legislation, which passed 275-150, would prevent states from requiring package labels to indicate the presence of GMOs. So far, Vermont is the only state set to require the labels. CARNIVAL CORP.

Japanese publisher Nikkei agreed Thursday to buy the Financial Times for $1.3 billion, a deal struck by the paper’s parent, Pearson, as it seeks to exit the print advertising-dependent business and focus on its larger education unit. For Nikkei, which traces its roots to 1876 and operates Japan’s largest business newspaper, the acquisition expands its reach globally with a highly respected brand and provides access to the FT’s more advanced know-how in retaining digital readers. The price paid by Nikkei raised eyebrows among media industry watchers. It far exceeds the $250 million paid by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos in 2013 for The Washington Post. That same year, The Boston Globe was sold for $70 million. The New York Times Co.’s market capitalization totals about $2.2 billion as of Thursday. The deal to buy the FT Group, a Pearson unit that publishes the

The deal will likely be completed in the fourth quarter. “Pearson has been a proud proprietor of the FT for nearly 60 years. But we’ve reached an inflection point in media, driven by the explosive growth of mobile and social,” Pearson CEO John Fallon said in a statement. “In this new environment, the best way to ensure the FT’s journalistic and commercial success is for it to be part of a global, digital news company.” FT Group had 24 million pounds of operating profit in 2014, or about $37.3 million. Sales totaled about 334 million pounds, or $519 million. “We share the same journalistic values,” Nikkei Group CEO Tsuneo Kita said. “Together, we

will strive to contribute to the development of the global economy.” The Financial Times, which has a heavy emphasis on markets, business, politics and international news, is arguably Pearson’s best-known brand. Like other newspapers, it has struggled to maintain print circulation and advertising sales. But the FT has been an industry leader in finding revenue online and has sought to expand paying readership by charging for content. It now claims about 720,000 in total circulation, including about 500,000 digital subscribers. Digital subscriptions increased 21% last year and now make up about 70% of the FT’s total paying audience. “The strong digital circulation growth offset continued structural declines in print content and advertising,” the company said in its 2014 annual report. Pearson, whose company-wide revenue last year fell 4% to $7.6 billion, is looking to shore up other businesses that are far larger. Its textbook business continues to be pressured by schools’ use of e-books and other online sources.

EU accuses U.S. studios of antitrust violations Says contracts block movies, media access in U.K., Ireland Jane Onyanga-Omara and Kevin McCoy USA TODAY

The European Union is going after Mickey Mouse. The EU’s antitrust arm on Thursday accused six major U.S. film studios and a British television firm of improperly blocking viewer access to movies and other media content. Intensifying a probe that began in January 2014, the European Commission filed formal charges known as a statement of objections against the Disney, NBCUniversal, Paramount Pictures, Sony, Twentieth Century Fox and Warner Brothers studios, along with broadcaster Sky UK. The commission alleged that viewers on Europe’s mainland were unfairly blocked from watching pay TV services avail-

Paramount Pictures is one of six U.S. movie studios accused of restricting access across the 28country European Union.

able in the United Kingdom and Ireland. “European consumers want to watch the pay-TV channels of their choice regardless of where they live or travel in the EU,” said Margrethe Vestager, the EU’s commissioner for competition. “Our investigation shows that they cannot do this today, also because licensing agreements be-

tween the major film studios and Sky UK do not allow consumers in other EU countries to access Sky’s UK and Irish pay-TV,” Vestager said. The case focuses on licensing clauses that require Sky UK to block access to films through its online pay-TV services — a procedure known as “geo-blocking” — or through its satellite pay-TV services to all European consumers outside the U.K. and Ireland. Conversely, the commission said some contracts required studios to ensure their licensing deals with European broadcasters other than Sky UK blocked those firms from making their pay-TV services available in the U.K. and Ireland. The commission also is examining licensing agreements between the studios and France’s Canal Plus, Sky Italia, Sky Deutschland and Spain’s DTS. The new antitrust charges mark an interim step in the investigation process that enables the companies to respond. Under EU regulations, the

companies could face fines as high as 10% of their most recent global annual sales if the allegations ultimately are upheld. Confirming it had received the statement of objections, Sky UK said: “We will consider this and respond in due course.” NBC Universal said: “We will have the opportunity to formally respond to the statement and are communicating constructively with the European Commission.” Warner Brothers said it was cooperating with the EU, and 20th Century Fox and Paramount declined to comment. Other studios did not respond to messages. U.S. movie studios have been selling exclusive territorial licensing rights to their films and other content “for longer than there’s been a EU,” said Neil Begley, a Moody’s senior financial analyst who covers the companies. Enabling viewers in other European nations to gain access to Sky UK’s transmissions of movies “would undermine the studios’ rights to sell that content in those other countries,” Begley said.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch David Craig @davidgcraig USA TODAY

Could Wall Street analysts be wrong again? Investors can only hope. Right now, Standard & Poor’s 500 companies are expected to register their first earnings decline in almost six years with their second-quarter results. But as more companies reveal their actual results, the size of the expected loss is shrinking. Currently, analysts expect second-quarter earnings to be down 1% from the year-ago period, says earnings-tracker Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. But that is a lot better than the 3% drop expected on July 2, and two-thirds of S&P 500 companies still haven’t reported earnings. If that sounds familiar, it

should. The same thing happened as first-quarter earnings reporting season unfolded. On April 3, Thomson says analysts were predicting first-quarter earnings would fall 2.8% — the first profit drop since the third quarter of 2009. But by May 1, when a majority of S&P 500 companies had reported, earnings were actually up 2.0%. Thomson’s David Aurelio says history could easily repeat. “The similarities between the two quarters are shocking,” he says. Unfortunately, there is one other similarity between the two. S&P 500 revenue — the all-important top line — now is expected to be down 3.8%, only slightly better than the 4.1% drop expected July 2. Revenue expectations were consistently negative as first-quarter earnings season progressed. Stocks really haven’t gone anywhere since.

Get paid while you decide which stock to buy Q: How can investors get 1%? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: If you leave cash parked in your brokerage account — stop it right now. You’re giving your brokerage a free interest-free loan. It’s a dirty little secret in the brokerage industry — uninvested cash gets 0% interest at most firms. But here’s the good part: Using the same technology brokerages use to get your cash in, you can get your cash out to in a place where you can get 1% interest. That way you get paid while you consider which stock to buy — not your broker. Nearly all online brokerages allow investors to electronically move money in and out from external banks. Setting this up varies by brokerage, but there’s usually a “transfer” money section or tab to establish a so-called “ACH” link with an outside bank. Typically, the brokerage will transmit a small deposit first — to confirm the link is working before you move big chunks of cash. You’ll need a bank to link to. A number of online banks are paying close to 1% or better. There’s Ally Bank, for instance, which pays 0.99% on online savings accounts. But that’s just one example; you can get more suggestions at Bankrate.com. The 1% isn’t going to make you rich. But if you have lots of dry power, it might be more than you realize. And it’s better you get money than your broker.

Starbucks sales perk up 18%; Pepsi deal expands market Aamer Madhani @AamerISmad USA TODAY

The caffeine juggernaut Starbucks is showing no signs of slowing down. Starbucks (SBUX) announced on Thursday that sales were up 18% in the last quarter on $4.9 billion in revenue. The growth was driven in part by a 4% increase in customer traffic, the equivalent of 23 million more visits globally than the coffee chain saw during same period last year. “Starbucks Q3 fiscal 2015

stands as among the strongest and most remarkable quarters in our over 23 years as a public company,” said company CEO Howard Schultz. Shares were trading at $59.40 up 5% in after-hours trading for the Seattle-based coffee company, which saw global and domestic same-store sales jump 7% for the third fiscal quarter. The company beat analyst expectations with net income of $0.42 per share. Analysts had projected net income of $0.41 per share, according to the consensus of analysts surveyed by Consensus Matrix.

The strong quarterly results follow a second quarter record in which revenues jumped 18% to $4.6 billion. Even as Starbucks celebrated the strong earnings report, Schultz said that double-digit growth was not something that the company can sustain longterm. “We don’t expect internally to maintain these kinds of high-level, high single-digit (growth) numbers and the kind of traffic numbers” Starbucks saw during the third quarter, Schultz told analysts. “I think going forward mid-single digit numbers and a

Starbucks and PepsiCo Inc. also announced Thursday that the companies have entered into an agreement for the marketing, sale and distribution of Starbucks ready-to-drink coffee and energy beverages in 10 Latin American countries starting in 2016.

DIMITRIOS KAMBOURIS, GETTY IMAGES, FOR TAS

Taylor Swift has apologized to Nicki Minaj after a misunderstanding over a tweet she thought was directed at her after the MTV Video Music Awards nominations. “I thought I was being called out. I missed the point, I misunderstood, then misspoke. I’m sorry, Nicki,” Swift tweeted Thursday. “That means so much Taylor, thank you,” Minaj replied via Twitter. The apology comes after a Twitter back-and-forth between the two singers Tuesday when MTV announced the nominees for the VMAs, for which Swift leads with nine. Minaj was upset she didn’t earn a nomination for video of the year for ‘Anaconda,’ and she tweeted about how slim women earn top nominations and black female entertainers are “rarely rewarded” for their influence on pop culture.

In ‘Southpaw,’ gloves off for chiseled Gyllenhaal He took a beating to tell this tale of redemption Donna Freydkin @freydkin USA TODAY

If there’s a shortcut to shooting a movie, Jake Gyllenhaal dodges it. Take Southpaw, the boxing drama in theaters Friday. Gyllenhaal plays Billy “The Great” Hope, the light-heavyweight boxing champion who spirals into self-destruction after his adored wife (Rachel McAdams) dies in an accidental shooting. His daughter (Oona Laurence) is taken away, his career is in disarray and his house is repossessed, and Billy has to return to the ring to win his life back. So far, sounds like your typical sports-themed redemption story, directed by Antoine Fuqua. Except Gyllenhaal completely altered his physique to play Billy. Every muscle, every flex is real, courtesy of twice-daily workouts with former professional boxer Terry Claybon, who trained Gyllenhaal for six months, seven days a week, six hours a day of boxing, strength training and conditioning. He ran 8 miles a day; he did 2,000 sit-ups. “He ate and slept boxing,” Claybon says. It all helped Gyllenhaal get into Billy’s head space. “I tried to initially use anger as motivation when I was training. And that just exhausted me,” Gyllenhaal says. “I realized I had to NEW YORK

SCOTT GARFIELD, THE WEINSTEIN COMPANY

Gyllenhaal trained like a pro: He ran 8 miles a day, did 2,000 sit-ups a day — and “ate and slept boxing,” his trainer says. calm down and learn the skill. I had to be humble. Over the course of five months, I just started living and breathing it.” And, yes, Gyllenhaal took a beating. Many times. “Knowing that I would probably get hit, I came to terms with those things,” he says. Fuqua had made it clear that “if you get hit, if you break your nose, that’s how we’re going to film it,” Gyllenhaal says. “I didn’t break my nose. My jaw got generally messed up. My neck is still a little messed up. I got hit in the body a lot.” Gyllenhaal’s discipline impressed his onscreen wife. “Jake had never boxed before,” McAdams says. “He was completely transformed. He didn’t

have a stunt double. He ate a lot of vegetables. “He really did become this person who was different from Jake himself. The pentameter of his voice, his mannerisms, his whole being was very altered.” That’s par for the course for Gyllenhaal, 34, who has carved out a career based on passion projects. In last year’s Nightcrawler, he whittled himself down to play a creepy, bug-eyed ambulance-chasing videographer. And he’s able to see it all with humor. “I’m aware of the absurdity of the process as well as taking it seriously,” he says. “I’m able to keep my sanity amidst the strange commitment I make to the roles that I play.”

Understanding real estate terms and abbreviations Linda a. ditch

Hometown Lawrence

Reading some real estate listings can be a challenge, not to mention the actual contract and loan information. Short sale, W/W crpt, ARM, lien… what does it all mean? This glossary may help ease some of the confusion. • 4B/2B: Four bedrooms and two bathrooms. • Appraised Value: The estimated value of the property as determined by a real estate appraiser. • ARM: Adjustable Rate Mortgage is a type of loan where the interest rate varies according to market conditions. • Assessed Value: The value of the property used to determine the amount of property tax the owner will pay. Usually not the same amount as the appraised value.

• Comps: When a real estate agent creates a list of recently sold properties in the area which are similar to the one that interests you. Comps, otherwise known as comparable sales, are a way to determine a property’s market value. • Dk: Deck • EIK: Eat-in kitchen • FDR: Formal dining room. • Fixed Rate Mortgage: The interest rate does not change for the life of the mortgage. • FP: Fireplace • FSBO: For sale by owner. • HDW: Hardwood floors. • Home Warranty: A type of insurance which covers certain home system repairs (heating and air conditioning; plumbing; electrical; appliances). Buyers often request a seller pay for

a home warranty as part of the sale. • Loan Origination Fee: The fee charged by a lender for processing a new loan. The fee can vary from lender to lender. • REO: A real estate property that is owned by the bank or lender because it didn’t sell at a foreclosure auction. • Reverse Mortgage: A lender pays older homeowners based on the equity of their home. When you sell the home, move out, or die, you or your estate pays back the loan, which sometimes means selling the home to cover the cost. • Short Sale: A property where the homeowner’s lender is helping them avoid foreclosure by allowing them to sell the house for less

than what is owed on the mortgage. • Title Company: A company whose role is to make sure the title to a piece of property is valid and there are no liens or legal proceedings tied to the property. Title companies issue title insurance to protect against any claims made on the property’s title and

On the last Saturday of April, a day designed for Kansas University’s football players to reap the rewards of the previous few weeks’ practices, the Jayhawks watched a nightmare play out in front of them at Memorial Stadium. Quarterback Michael Cummings, entering his senior season with KU, took a helmet to his left Cummings knee in the program’s spring game.

COMMENTARY

In his biography, Chris Froome recounts how his two elder brothers used to amuse themselves by locking him in a dog kennel with an angry, scratching turkey. “Only when I was in absolute floods of tears would they open the cage up and let me out,” the Tour de France race leader recounts. Thick skins are built on such experiences. Froome has needed that armor against cynics and skeptics pecking at his probity and performances on the bike as the 2013 winner cruises toward a second win at the world’s toughest cycle race. The British rider hasn’t failed a doping test or been caught cheating. All he’s guilty of is winning. And that, if Froome is clean as he and his Team Sky insist, is terribly unfair to him, to his teammates and to their sport. If anyone is at fault for the corrosive atmosphere of suspicion that now eats at the Tour, it’s Lance Armstrong, not Froome. It is clearer than ever now that the damage Armstrong did to the Tour wasn’t limited to the seven he won and then lost because he doped. The American took a big bite out of cycling’s present and future, too, by making the very act of winning suspicious in itself. Skepticism is healthy. Being duped by Armstrong’s systematic cheating and the systematic lying that covered it up served as a lesson that all remarkable sporting performances must be questioned, and not just those in cycling. But that’s not to say that they must be systematically doubted, too, especially not without hard, concrete proof of deceit, which is entirely lacking in Froome’s case. The line between asking the necessary questions and casting aspersions can be a thin one. Commentators who shape public opinion about the Tour are absolutely right to point out that Froome’s performances on the bike are remarkable, because they are. Just as when he first won the Tour, the speed at which Froome spins his pedals and his apparent ease on the brutal climbs again make him seem in a class of his own against other podium contenders who have labored. But to insinuate on that evidence that there’s something fishy about him is wrong. In the feverish atmosphere of suspicion that is Armstrong’s poisonous legacy, commentators must be careful in choosing their words. With time, and with no scandal, perhaps Froome’s reward will be that those who watch the Tour will re-learn that winners aren’t automatically cheats and will learn to forget Armstrong. Not an easy position for Froome to be in. But hopefully not as bad as being locked in with that turkey.

THE GROUP WITH BRITAIN’S CHRIS FROOME climbs the Montvernier Laces on Thursday during the 18th stage of the Tour de France.

Bardet best in Stage 18; Froome keeps lead Saint-Jean-De-Maurienne, France — Chris Froome is halfway through the Alps, the last obstacle to his second Tour de France victory, after comfortably maintaining his race lead on a Stage 18 won in style by Romain Bardet on Thursday. Bardet rode alone down the huge Glandon pass and up the 18 hairpin bends of the Montvernier Laces, previously unclimbed by the Tour, to take a solo victory at Saint-Jean-DeMaurienne on the second of four days in the Alps, the last big test before the finish in Paris on Sunday. Pierre Rolland of the Europcar team made it a 1-2 French finish, coming in 33 seconds behind the winner for AG2R La Mondiale. As they did on the first Alpine stage on Wednesday, Froome’s rivals again tested the Team Sky rider but couldn’t make him crack over seven climbs. “Everyone attacked,” Froome said. Two-time champion Alberto Contador showed spirit, with a burst of speed on the 14-mile-long climb up to the Glandon pass, but he couldn’t claw back the minutes he lost on Wednesday in a crash. “One of the hardest days for me,” Contador said. “I was in pain.” Froome, Contador, and other podium contenders finished together in a group of 10 riders who rode in three minutes behind Bardet, who remains too far down the overall standings — in 10th place, nearly 13 minutes back from Froome — to have realistic ambitions for the podium this year. But, at age 24, the second French stage winner confirmed that he is a big talent for the future. He placed sixth at the Tour last year. He hasn’t been consistent enough to improve on that this year, but he is the highest-placed French rider so far. Bardet rode away at the top of the punishing Glandon climb — the hardest Alpine ascent so far — and built a lead on the long descent. He held it up the Montvernier Laces, where the road spaghettis back and forth in a spectacular series of switchbacks. “A crazy stage,” Bardet said. “I can’t believe it.” The hairpins are so narrow that police stopped fans from lining the road there as they do elsewhere, making the telegenic ascent eerily quiet. But a cheering crowd waiting for Bardet at the top gave him a burst of energy to the finish. “I had goosebumps,” he said. Froome remains 3 minutes, 10 seconds ahead of second-placed Nairo Quintana, and 4:09 ahead of the Colombian’s Movistar teammate, Alejandro Valverde. Froome identifies those two as the riders he must watch most closely over last two days in the Alps, especially since they could work together against him on the very tough climbs. The crescendo will come Saturday on the 21-hairpin bends to the Alpe d’Huez ski station that will be teeming with fans. “It’s the last challenge,” said Froome. “We can really expect it to be a big finale.” The Tour has covered 1,865 miles.

Vaughan Taylor and Brian Harman were a stroke back. Two-time heart transplant recipient Erik Compton was at 66 along with Steve Wheatcroft, Tyrone Van Aswegen and Australian amateur Ryan Ruffels. Jason Day, coming off a tie for fourth Monday in the British Open, opened with a 68. Bubba Watson also was in the group at 68. His wife, Angie, is from Pickering, Ontario.

Brett’s shot comes with two outs in the top of the ninth to give the Kansas City Royals a 5-4 lead. Brett’s homer is ruled an out because the amount of pine tar exceeded what was allowed.

Leaders emerging for Kansas football But sophomore tight end Ben Johnson, who joined Beaty in Dallas, tipped his cap to a few other Jayhawks for their roles as leaders this summer. “(Senior wide receiver) Tre’ Parmalee’s a big one,” Johnson said. “He’s another one of our veterans. (Junior running back) Ke’aun Kinner’s a leader, as well. Defensively, (junior linebacker) Courtney Arnick is not as vocal, but he’s definitely a leader. And (junior quarterback) Montell Cozart is a leader too. If somebody has a bad play, he’s right there to pick him up.” The mention of Kinner, a 5-foot-9, 185-pound back from Navarro Junior College, is a bit unusual. But it speaks to both his impact since arriving prior to spring practice and the lack of experience on the KU roster. “I say Kinner because he’s one of our biggest playmakers,” Johnson said. “Even if you’re not as vocal, when you make plays like that, that brings energy and pumps everybody up.” As for Johnson himself, he said he had done everything he could to pick up the slack for the absence of three-year starter Jimmay Mundine.

“Once he left, I kind of tried to take over that role and saw myself as being that person,” Johnson said of his role as the leader of the tight ends. “I try to be first in line. I try to be positive, make sure guys aren’t bending over when they’re tired.”

the Jayhawks, “but I texted coach (Norm) Roberts at Kansas last week. He texted me asking when we were playing. I don’t talk to him on a regular basis, but we’ve talked.” Reese was one of three KU targets who were scheduled to play. Wyatt Wilkes, a 6-8, 205-pound small forward from Winter Park High School (Florida), scored 11 points SE Elite Florida 16-and-under’s 75-68 loss to Southern Stampede. Wilkes is unranked by Rivals but has offers from Clemson, Rice, UAB, Central Florida and Virginia Tech, and has drawn interest from KU, Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Miami and others. 6-foot-11 center Rodney Miller Jr. did not make the trip to Lawrence because of a hand injury.

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

There’s a point during every football offseason when a new crop of leaders steps up and takes the place of the former head honchos who left the team after running out of eligibility. For some teams — usually the more veteran and established programs — the transition happens quickly, and the new lead dogs are off and running before winter conditioning begins. For others, it can take into spring football and even summer conditioning before the new crew takes over and truly begins to function and feel like the leadership arm of the program. For the 2015 edition of Kansas University’s football team, which is being asked to replace all but a couple of starters on defense and basically an entire batch of playmakers on offense, that leadership began to emerge over the summer. Earlier this week at Big 12 media days in Dallas, first-year head coach David Beaty made no secret of the fact that senior defensive end Ben Goodman had been “by far” the team’s most impressive leader this offseason.

to not only win, but win big to put the Cagers in position for the rest of the tournament. “Since we lost that game (to Pumas White), it’s about point spread, so we needed to beat every team by a certain amount of points,” Quartlebaum said. The Cagers will play two more games today, the first starting at 10:15 a.m. against the Missouri Rain Makers and the second tipping off at 7 p.m. versus Nebraska Select Sullivan. Hoy enjoyed playing in the local tournament today and said it has been convenient to compete so close to home. “It’s really nice be-

cause we’ve had to go all over the place for tournaments,” Hoy said. “Playing at a place where I can drive five minutes and be here, that’s really great.”

KU target Reese helps SE Elite Alabama Alex Reese, a 6-foot-9, 225-pound forward who lists Kansas University as one of many schools where he could play college hoops, scored 12 points in SE Elite Alabama 17-and-under’s 82-74 overtime win. The Pelham High (Alabama) standout, ranked No. 49 overall by Rivals, has received offers from Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Murray State and Vanderbilt, but has had recent discussions with the KU coaching staff. “I haven’t talked to them a lot,” Reese said of

Simple message Wednesday night, offensive-line coach Zach Yenser announced on Twitter that he was having the KU offensive linemen over to his house for dinner to provide the big guys in the trenches another opportunity to build some chemistry and get away from the grind of summer conditioning. The gesture is pretty common throughout the coaching staff, but this particular dinner party featured something a bit unusual. Yenser ordered a giant frosted cookie for the linemen and said on Twitter: “What’s the best way to get a point across to college O-linemen? Put the message on a cookie cake!” The message, which was written in crimson and blue icing surrounding pictures of a KU helmet and football made of icing, was simple: “If you don’t cut, you don’t play!”

Preps plan to attend Late Night By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Overland Park — Michael Porter Jr., the No. 2 ranked player in the Class of 2017 by Rivals. com, cut his list of potential schools to 17 in June, but Kansas University still ranks high among the remaining choices. The 6-foot-8 small forward from Columbia, Missouri, scored a gamehigh 27 points for MoKan Elite in his first game at the Hardwood Classic, an AAU tournament at Shawnee Mission South

High. He plans to make a trip to Lawrence for Late Night in the Phog. “I love Bill Self. I’ve talked to him a lot,” Porter said. “(Assistant) coach (Norm) Roberts … I’ve talked to him a lot. I plan to be at late night this upcoming year. I like KU. I like their style of play and how they develop their players.” Trae Young, a 6-foot-1 point guard ranked No. 28 by Rivals, is Porter’s AAU teammate and is considering joining Porter at Late Night. Young attended Late Night last year.

“I love Kansas. Coach Self, (assistant) coach (Jerrance) Howard, coach Roberts — all of them — we’ve been in close contact for a while now,” Young said. “Just trying to build a better relationship. Stay in close contact as much as possible. I’m planning on going up there for Late Night, but I need to work that out with my family. When that time comes closer, I’ll let everyone know. “If I don’t go to Late Night this year, I’m going to go when they play Kentucky.”

the makeup of a rainout last month. As in the originally scheduled game, St. Louis and Kansas City led their league in wins, and Lackey (9-5) and Young (8-6) were the scheduled starters. Young gave up four runs in three innings, his shortest outing since he allowed five runs while getting just two outs for Seattle last Sept. 1 at Oakland. He struggled with control and had no issue with getting pulled for pinch hitter Kendrys Morales, who flied out with two on to end the fourth. The 6-foot-10 righthander has surrendered 14 homers, half of them on two-strike counts. “I understood the situation,” Young said. “I absolutely had no problems with it. It was the right decision.” Paid attendance of 46,003 was the 24th sellout for St. Louis, which took the season series 4-2, but there were sev-

eral thousand no-shows for the opener of an elongated 11-game homestand. Both teams wore throwback jerseys from the 1985 I-70 World Series won by Kansas City in seven games. Salvador Perez and had consecutive RBI singles in the first for the Royals, but they managed just two more hits in Lackey’s final six innings. The 36-year-old right-hander is 5-1 with a 1.75 ERA in his last eight starts, working seven or more innings in all but one of them. Carpenter’s 10th homer, and just his second in two months, put the Cardinals ahead 4-2 in the third. Grichuk, who also singled and flied out to the wall in right, has a team-leading 13 RBIs this month. The Cardinals are 6134 overall and 34-12 at Busch Stadium, both major league bests.

Hot bats Eric Hosmer had two hits and is 13-for-25 during a six-game hitting streak. ... Rios matched his season high with three hits and has 11 hits in his last six games.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Kershaw blanks Mets, 3-0 The Associated Press

National League Dodgers 3, Mets 0 New York — Clayton Kershaw pitched a threehitter, retiring the first 18 batters in his second shutout of the season, as the Dodgers beat the Mets on Thursday night. Kershaw (8-6) now has thrown 29 consecutive scoreless innings — 142⁄3 fewer than teammate Zack Greinke — and 11 career shutouts. He was perfect until Curtis Granderson lined a leadoff single in the seventh inning. The worst-hitting team in the majors was all but helpless against the threetime Cy Young Award winner. Kershaw struck Frank Franklin II/AP Photo out 11 and did not walk a batter. He has fanned 38 THE DODGERS’ CLAYTON KERSHAW GRIMACES after allowing a single by the Mets’ Lucas without a walk in his last Duda in the eighth inning of Los Angeles’ 3-0 victory Thursday in New York. three outings.

Pirates 7, Nationals 3 Pittsburgh — Francisco Liriano allowed three hits over six-plus dominant innings, and Pittsburgh raced by Washington. Liriano (6-6) struck out 11 against three walks as the Pirates returned from a miserable post-AllStar-break road trip to drop the NL East-leading Nationals. Andrew McCutchen, Pedro Alvarez and Francisco Cervelli homered for Pittsburgh, which ended a sevengame losing streak to Washington. Starling Marte and Jung Ho Kang added two hits apiece for the Pirates, who acquired third baseman Aramis Ramirez from Milwaukee before the game to bolster an infield dealing with injuries to Josh Harrison and Jordy Mercer.

Chris Taylor started the 12th with a single off Ian Krol (1-3), and Zunino tried to bunt him to second. After two failed attempts, Zunino doubled down the left-field line.

Husband won’t seek help with intimacy issues Dear Annie: I am 62 years old and have been married to “Clyde” for 12 years. We do not have a sexual relationship. Clyde had a horrible childhood. He told me that his mother had sex with various men in his presence. On the weekends, he would stay with his paternal grandparents, where he witnessed his uncle abusing his aunt. Prior to meeting my husband, I contracted herpes. I am allergic to latex so sex is always a risk. He knew this prior to our marriage and things were OK then. But after we married, sex became infrequent, partly due to his erectile dysfunction. He informed me that I was no longer attractive to him because I had gained weight (so has he) and he fears getting herpes.

I don’t know what to do. Clyde is moody and I sometimes feel that I’m walking on eggshells. He can acknowledge that he is difficult, but he doesn’t change. We love each other and share a fairly comfortable life, but I miss an intimate relationship. Clyde will not go to counseling. Any advice? — Missing My Husband Dear Missing: Clyde’s background indicates a lot of unresolved issues about sex

On History, reason goes ‘Missing’ Friday nights belong to the credulous. The gullible. The lovers of tall tales and campfire stories. The more bizarre, the better. As discussed last week, Friday is already home to “Treasure Quest: Snake Island” (9 p.m., Discovery), the perfect summertime snipe hunt, a sixpart reality TV search for Incan gold hidden off the coast of Brazil. Will viewers care if they never find the treasure? Will they feel let down? Will they be any more disappointed than the viewers who tune into every season of “The Bachelor” in hopes of watching happy couples march down the aisle? ‘‘Treasure Quest” is a model of restraint and hyperrealism compared to the series “Missing in Alaska” (9 p.m., History), debuting tonight. This show combines two of cable’s most overworked themes: anything set in Alaska and wildly speculative supernatural conspiracy theories. ‘‘Missing” begins with a sobering observation: Apparently, almost 4,000 people vanish in the 49th state every year. While that’s a staggering number, it could be explained by the state’s size and small population. Alaska has twice the landmass of Texas, but a population of more than 730,000 — just a few thousand less than North Dakota. The Bronx has nearly twice as many people as Alaska. Beyond that, Alaska’s vast, uninhabited stretches are all too inviting to a certain kind of visitor. The 2007 film “Into the Wild” and the 1996 book from which it was adapted remind us that the state’s terrifying immensity tends to attract fatalistic loners, people with every intention of “getting lost” in the most extreme, risky ways. But don’t go looking for psychological discussions or reasonable speculation here. This is the History Channel, after all. “Missing” explores the theory that there is an “Alaska Triangle,” a space-time portal that whisks people away to another dimension. Gee, that sounds reasonable. “Missing” begins with “Vanished in a Vortex,” a look at the rumors surrounding a 1950 plane crash involving a military transport that claimed the lives of 44 passengers. Did they simply go down in an unexplored stretch of Alaska’s frozen tundra? That would be too sad — and entirely logical. Belief in the Alaska Triangle as a gateway to eternity is infinitely more entertaining. Tonight’s other highlights O A city under siege on “Defiance” (7 p.m., Syfy). O Rogue bounty hunters become the target on “Killjoys” (8 p.m., Syfy).

and intimacy, but if he refuses to address them, there is little you can do to change how he responds. However, you can get counseling for yourself. A good counselor will help you focus on what’s important to you and decide what is best for you, including ways to cope with the situation you have with less frustration. Dear Annie: “Good Daughter” said her mother endlessly stole the limelight. I’ve observed the exact same behavior in both my husband’s mother and mine, and it seems to have started in their 70s. I wondered if it had to do with them fighting the feeling of being invisible or irrelevant in their families’ lives. As I transition into the empty-nest phase of life, I’m beginning to

For Friday, July 24: This year a pay raise or promotion is likely. You might keep many of your feelings to yourself; there also could be a few that you are not even aware of yet.

get a glimpse of what it feels like to go from being the center (and coordinator) of all family activities into a much less active role in my kids’ lives, and I’m sure it will be even more pronounced over time. We all need to feel needed. In our younger years, we race through our busy lives. Once we reach our senior years, all of these connections and obligations fade. We need others to validate that we still matter. While this doesn’t make it any more pleasant to observe the redirection of every conversation, a little perspective might encourage more tolerance. — Patient Daughter — Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O.
