“This is a direct impact from the state’s action, or inaction, in making

sure that they provided us with additional funds, particularly in Lawrence because we’re a growing district,” school board Vice President Shannon

Kimball told the board, noting the district’s enrollment has been rising the past several years.

“I just want to point that out, because it’s not something we’re doing because we want to.”

Because state aid for

the previous and upcoming school years was not calculated on a per-pupil basis, school districts do not automatically receive additional funds when enrollment increases. The Please see BUDGET, page 6A

Town Talk

here were lots of folks in town for basketball this past weekend. As we reported, the Hardwood Classic has moved its tournament from Overland Park to Sports Pavilion Lawrence at Rock Chalk Park. The event attracted about 300 youth basketball teams and an estimated 4,000 to 5,000 people in total for multiple days.

That no doubt made hotels, restaurants, gas stations and other such businesses happy. But the tournament

Commissioners and staff members made a point to say that promise included during busy tournament times.

Kansas leaders’ rejection of Medicaid expansion isn’t felt in Douglas County as much as other, more rural and financially stressed areas of the state — but it is felt.

That was the message Monday at a public forum in Lawrence hosted by supporters of Medicaid expansion. Alliance for a Healthy Kansas started several weeks ago travHEALTH eling across the state, talking about the need for the Kansas Legislature to “have the discussion” about the expansion.

About 45 people gathered at Plymouth Congregational Church for the alliance’s stop in Lawrence.

Karen Shumate, chief operating officer at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, told the group LMH provides $30 million worth of care each year that’s not paid for — approximately $6 million of which could be paid if Kansas expanded Medicaid.

Shumate went on to say that, though the Affordable Care Act has caused a “huge regulatory burden” that was supposed to be offset by Medicaid expansion, LMH is “very lucky to be operationally and financially sound.”

POLICE BLOTTER

Teen smoking prevention progresses in KC metro Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Officials say a campaign to prevent teen smoking in Kansas City is progressing faster than expected.

A local campaign called Tobacco 21 began in October, and now nearly half the residents in the metro area must be 21 to buy tobacco products, The Kansas City Star reported.

Organizers say the progress is due to a partnership between public health advocates and the business community.

“It is a powerful example of what can be done to drive public health when health experts and the business community work together,” said Scott Hall, who now leads the chamber’s Healthy KC initiative. “The marriage of the

two has been the thing that has driven this so fast.”

Traditionally, antitobacco campaigns have focused on raising taxes, and many felt those increases unfairly targeted smokers. Hall said that the Tobacco 21 campaign has encountered less opposition because it happens at the local level and focuses on teenagers and young adults.

Ninety-five percent of adult smokers start before they turn 21, according to Campaign for TobaccoFree Kids spokesman John Schachter. Ninety percent begin when they’re 18 or younger.

A report from the Institute of Medicine said if all states raised the legal age for tobacco purchase

to 21, there would be a 12 percent drop in teen and young adult smokers.

“In the 21st century, communities that are the healthiest are communities that grow the fastest and are the strongest,” Hall said. “Tobacco cessation is a key part of building that healthy community.”

The campaign’s ordinances also give cities the authority to regulate e-cigarettes, which were essentially unregulated by the federal government until recently.

Implementing ordinances to increase the minimum age of sale and purchase of tobacco products is being discussed in the Missouri cities of Liberty and Lee’s Summit, as well as Tonganoxie.

I suspect staff members are being sincere when they say that it would help Lawrence attract more tournaments if organizers could be guaranteed use of all eight courts. Lawrence needs for Rock Chalk Park to be a magnet for visitor dollars, especially since plans to develop a large retail area around the park have thus far fizzled. The city spent too much money on the project for it to be just a recreation center.

I also suspect, though, that there is still a significant number of people in Lawrence who remember the promise that was made, and still aren’t happy with the manner in which past city officials pushed the Rock Chalk Park project through the approval process. The Rock Chalk Park project, more than anything else, led to a house cleaning on the City Commission, and officials said it helped them understand trust needed to be rebuilt between City Hall and residents.

That’s the really big question that commissioners must remain focused on: How is the trust-building work progressing?

Manhunt north of Lawrence leads to arrest

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

One man was arrested Monday after an hourslong manhunt north of Lawrence, police said.

Justin Price, 36, was booked into the Douglas County Jail on suspicion of felony fleeing and eluding and possession of stolen property, said Sgt. Kristen Dymacek of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.

After 10 a.m. Monday, a sheriff’s deputy attempted to pull over a silver Honda, driven by Price, near Teepee Junction, east of the intersection of U.S. Highway 40 and North 1800 Road, Dymacek said.

Price pulled the car over but sped off as soon as the deputy was outside their car, Dymacek said.

The deputy did not give chase.

Soon after, deputies found the car — which was reportedly stolen from the Kansas City, Mo., area — about a half-mile north of the intersection of North 2000 and East 1250 roads, Dymacek said. The car was locked and abandoned with Price nowhere to be found.

Setting up a perimeter and with rifles drawn, police began to

Douglas County.

According to campaign finance reports that were filed with state regulators Monday, Sloan raised more than $15,000 between Jan. 1 and July 21, far more than any other local candidate facing a primary this year.

He already had a large war chest built up at the beginning of the year, and he heads into the final week of the primary campaign with just more than $51,000 on hand.

impostor was first fingerprinted as a teenager using the false identity. After years of fighting, Calvillo almost gave up on trying to clear his name, but then read an Associated Press story about a case in 2013 in which a Houston teacher’s entire identity was stolen. Calvillo contacted the prosecutor in Wichita who was involved in that case, Assistant U.S. Attorney Brent Anderson, hoping he might help him as well.

In court Monday, Calvillo struggled to compose himself as he tearfully recounted in detail how the loss of his good name cost him his family, jobs and house. The Grand Prairie, Texas, man also has been hounded over bad checks he never wrote, collection letters from creditors he did not know, and back taxes

for income at companies where he never worked. He has even had his driver’s license suspended.

“I feel bad. I want to say I am sorry,” NeaveCeniceros said in court.

“I didn’t know it was going to be this bad. I never meant to hurt anybody.”

Judge J. Thomas Marten, who initially rejected the plea agreement in the case, seemed ready to give Neave-Ceniceros the maximum 30 months under the sentencing guidelines Monday. But he relented after defense attorneys and prosecutors urged him to accept the proposed year-and-a-day term.

Marten noted the victim did not ask for a longer sentence. “All he really wants to the extent this court can provide it ... is his good name back,” the judge said.

Eudora

Eudora Police Chief Bill Edwards had requested the hiring of two additional officers for 2017 to address the frequent times one or fewer officers were patrolling the city’s streets.

The biggest portion of the 2017 mill levy increase would be the 4 mills included in the budget to support the capital improvement fund. Matite said the added revenue was needed if the city was to realize the goals set out its strategic plan.

Commissioners also approved authorizing the sale of $1.44 million in general

obligation bonds. The 15year bonds provide financing for a $475,000 new fire truck to replace the city’s 30-year-old pumper and $965,000 to pay for the electrical department’s new wireless meters.

Tom Kaleko, the city’s financial adviser with Springsted Financial Inc., said electrical department revenue would be earmarked to pay for the new meters, while property taxes would retire the fire truck debt.

In other business, the commission: l Approved the city seeking requests for qualification from architectural/engineering firms with an interest in developing a

conceptual plan for a new soccer, softball and baseball complex on land the Eudora school district has agreed to make available between Eudora high and middle schools. The fields will be needed to replace those lost with the redevelopment of the Nottingham Elementary School site for commercial uses.

Matite said the plans would give the city a cost estimate for the complex, which would be needed to approach sources of private funding. l Approved imposing a penalty of $1,250 on RG Fiber should it fail to meet the conditions of its service agreement with

the city by Wednesday.

Earlier this month, RG Fiber CEO Mike Bosch requested commissioners not impose the penalty, saying the city’s regulations regarding plans outlining use of city easements “lacked transparency.” RG Fiber had submitted several sets of plans, only to have them rejected on grounds that weren’t put in writing, he said.

On Monday, Matite repeated his assertion that what the city requested of RG Fiber was asked of other companies seeking to use city easement and city staff had not hindered RG Fiber’s application process. RG Fiber has been

issued a permit for a portion of the work it needs to do to satisfy the service agreement, but Matite and Mike Hutto, city public works director, agreed it would not be possible for the company to get all the work completed before the Wednesday deadline.

The service agreement negotiated 15 months ago requires RG Fiber install by Wednesday four strands of gigabit fiber to Eudora City Hall and the Eudora Public Service Building and connect service to one of the buildings.

came in the form of five checks, four of which were from individuals outside Kansas.

In the neighboring 44th District, Ballard held a comparable fundraising lead over her challenger, Steven X. Davis.

Ballard is seeking her 13th term in the House. She is the associate director for civic programming and outreach at the Dole Institute of Politics at Kansas University and currently serves as chair of the House Democratic Caucus.

Her financial report shows she had $14,744 in her campaign account to start the year. She has raised $5,400, spent a little more than $4,000, and goes into the final week before the primary with $16,015 in cash on hand.

Most of Ballard’s contributions came from businesses and political action committees including BNSF Railway, the Kansas NEA and the Kansas Livestock Association.

She faces a political newcomer in the Democratic primary: Davis, 27, who works as a freelance writer, copy editor and math tutor in Lawrence.

Davis raised a little more than $1,400 for his bid to unseat Ballard and spent $968 of that leading

up to the primary, leaving him with $455 on hand for the final week.

Davis is the only local candidate who reported raising money through the internet. He reported $350 coming in the form of “e-funds” from five individuals in Kansas and Kansas City, Mo. In the 42nd District in eastern Douglas County, Rep. O’Brien had not yet turned in her finance report

by 5 p.m. Monday, the official due date. But her last report, filed at the end of the 2014 election cycle, showed she spent a little less than $4,000 defending her seat that year, and she ended the cycle with almost $5,000 in her account.

But her challenger this year appears to be mounting a tougher campaign.

Karleskint, a retired school superintendent, reported raising $6,475 since Jan. 1

and spent $4,421, mainly on mailings, yard signs and “push cards,” the small cards candidates hand to you or hang on your door knob when they campaign door to door.

Karleskint received at least a dozen individual contributions from people who identified themselves as educators. He also received a $500 contribution from the Kansas NEA. O’Brien, 69, has worked

as a special education teacher and substitute teacher, and she has been a strong supporter of Brownback’s policies in the House. She chairs the House Committee on Children and Seniors and is vice chair of the Special Committee on Foster Care Adequacy.

The trial for the second of two former Haskell Indian Nations University students accused of rape began on Monday with jury selection.

The defendants, a 21-year-old man and a 20-yearold man, are accused of raping a 19-year-old fellow student on Nov. 15, 2014, in a university dormitory.

The 21-year-old suspect, whose trial began Monday, faces felony counts of aiding and abetting attempted rape and two counts of rape.

In June a trial was held for the 20-year-old suspect, who faces two felony rape charges and one felony count of aggravated criminal sodomy. However, the jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict and a mistrial was declared.

A second trial is set to begin for the 20-year-old suspect on Dec. 12.

Both men were arrested Nov. 15, 2014, and released from the Douglas County Jail after posting a $75,000 bond each. Both were expelled from the school after the incident.

Attorneys questioned a pool of prospective jurors on Monday. The trial, which is scheduled to last seven days, is set to resume at 9 a.m. today.

Grocery plans Some compromises may be necessary, but it would be great to find a way to accommodate a full-sized grocery store in downtown Lawrence.

M

any issues remain to be settled, but it’s good news that plans are moving forward for a downtown grocery store at Seventh and New Hampshire streets.

Neighborhood residents for several years have been eyeing the former Borders bookstore building as a potential store site, and the owners of that property are working to make such a store a reality. However, while residents had envisioned the effort as a remodeling project of the existing space, the developers now are looking at a much larger project.

Instead of a 20,000-square-foot store in the existing building, developers envision a 40,000-square-foot store on the first floor of a three-story structure on the site.

About 80 apartments would occupy the upper two floors. The underground parking needed to accommodate the project would require demolition of the existing building.

The bigger store and apartments may not be quite what some residents envisioned, but if those additions are important to make the store financially viable, the community may need to find a way to accommodate a larger project.

A number of issues still must be addressed, not the least of which is what company will operate the store: Lawrencebased Checkers or the Price Chopper chain out of Kansas City. The developers also will need to come to an agreement with the Hobbs Taylor Lofts about covenants that currently would prevent a grocery store in the former Borders.

Some concerns also may be raised about the demolition of the Borders building, which most likely would include demolition of a couple of walls of an old livery building that were preserved on the north side of the Borders structure.

Preserving those walls was a major issue for the Borders project, and it will be interesting to see whether their perceived historical significance will be an obstacle for a new development at that site.

Completing this project likely will involve a number of compromises, but having a grocery store in downtown Lawrence for the first time in several decades may inspire a spirit of cooperation.

Current covenants may not allow a grocery so close to Hobbs Taylor lofts, but people living in that complex and other new downtown residential developments surely would welcome the new store, as would residents north of the river and east of Massachusetts Street.

Lawrence’s downtown has seen considerable evolution in recent decades.

Not so long ago, grocery stores, car dealerships and a wide range of retail occupied the area that now is more dominated by restaurants, bars and small shops.

The recent rise in residential development downtown is a good sign because it helps preserve the vitality of downtown. A full-sized grocery store would make living in downtown Lawrence an even more attractive choice, as well as being a major convenience for people living in central-city neighborhoods.

Clinton needs to be more likeable Philadelphia — En route to fight one of his many duels, French politician Georges Clemenceau bought a one-way train ticket. Was he pessimistic? “Not at all. I always use my opponent’s return ticket for the trip back.”

Some Hillary Clinton advisers, although not that serene, think her victory is probable and can be assured.

Her challenge is analogous to Ronald Reagan’s in 1980, when voters were even more intensely dissatisfied than they now are.

There were hostages in Iran and stagflation’s “misery index” (the sum of the inflation and unemployment rates) was 21.98. By August 1979, 84 percent of Americans said the country was on the wrong track. A substantial majority did not want to re-elect Jimmy Carter but a majority might do so unless convinced that Reagan would be a safe choice. Reagan’s campaign responded by buying time for several half-hour televised speeches and other ads stressing his humdrum competence.

Now, voters reluctant to support the unpleasant and unprepared Republican also flinch from Clinton, partly because of the intimacy the modern presidency forces upon them: As one Clinton adviser uneasily notes, a president spends more time in the average family’s living room than anyone who is not a family member. Clinton is not a congenial guest.

Her opponent radiates

“

Clinton’s selection of Virginia’s U.S. Sen. and former Gov. Tim Kaine represents the rare intersection of good politics and good governance.” anger, and America has not elected an angry president since Andrew Jackson, long before television brought presidents into everyone’s living room, where anger is discomfiting. Clinton’s campaign must find ways to present her as more likable than she seems and more likable than her adversary, both of which are low thresholds.

Regarding the threshold that matters most — 270 electoral votes — she would not trade places with her opponent.

Since 1976, Florida, today’s largest swing state, has been somewhat more Republican than the nation.

Clinton now is in a statistical tie there (in the Real Clear Politics average of polls), where the Hispanic vote is growing and moving left. She leads in Virginia, the third-largest swing state

(behind Ohio), by RCP’s 5.3 points and in another purple state, Colorado, by 8 points.

One state that might indicate a tectonic shift in American politics is Arizona, which has voted for a Democratic presidential candidate only once since Harry Truman in 1948 (Bill Clinton in 1996, by 2.2 points). In 2012, Mitt Romney defeated Barack Obama there by 9 points.

Today, however, John McCain’s sixth Senate campaign may be becoming his most difficult. His trademark has been “straight talk” but now he must mumble evasions about the man at the top of the Republican ticket who has disparaged McCain’s war service. McCain, who has won his five previous elections by an average of 33.4 points, today leads in the RCP average by 5.5.

If Clinton, who is in another statistical tie in Arizona, decides to compete there, one reason will be the Mormons. They are just 5 percent of the state population, but 8 percent of the general election turnout. In a competitive election, their deep cultural antipathy toward Donald Trump might swing 11 electoral votes. Utah Republicans in this year’s caucuses voted 69.2 percent for Ted Cruz, 16.8 for John Kasich and 14 percent for Trump. If Arizona becomes a presidential battleground this year, it will validate The Atlantic’s Ron Brownstein’s analysis that any Trump gains for the

GOP among white blue-collar votes in Rust Belt states (e.g., Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan) may be more than matched by Clinton gains among minorities and persons with college educations in Sunbelt states and elsewhere.

Clinton’s selection of Virginia’s U.S. Sen. and former Gov. Tim Kaine represents the rare intersection of good politics and good governance.

He increases her chance of winning the 13 electoral votes of his state, which has voted with the presidential winner in four consecutive elections and seven of the last nine. He, like she, has been an executive, so perhaps experience has inoculated him against the senatorial confusion between gestures and governing.

There probably is no Democratic governor or senator more palatable than Kaine to constitutional conservatives. Such conservatives are eager to bring presidential power back within constitutional constraints, and Kaine is among the distressingly small minority of national legislators interested in increased congressional involvement in authorizing the use of military force.

And as a member of both the Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees, Kaine can, if their paths ever cross on the campaign trail, patiently try to help Trump decipher the acronym NATO. — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Budget CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

staffing cuts make up the bulk of reductions made to the district’s budget, which was proposed as part of the board’s meeting on Monday.

The 17 teacher positions that will not be filled consist of eight elementary, four middle school and five high school teachers. One districtwide nursing position was also not filled. All but three of those staff reductions were positions that were not filled after being vacated by either resignations or retirements.

The three staff members directly cut — their contracts were not renewed at the end of the school year — were at the high school level.

Superintendent Kyle Hayden told the board that district administration worked with the high school principals over the course of the year to find “efficiencies” in the high

. school curriculum in order to save money.

“There were proposals that allowed us to combine some classes, rename some classes and essentially consolidate and gain some efficiencies, where we felt like we could reduce three teaching positions and still deliver the same curriculum,” Hayden said.

The staff reductions are part of a published budget report that outlines the district’s funding, expected expenditures and the estimated property tax mill levy needed for the upcoming school year. Once the budget is published, district officials may adjust the budget downward but not upward.

Deficit spending The budget also includes a significant amount of deficit spending, which is being covered by the district’s cash reserves. The budget includes $2.75 million of funds from the district’s contingency reserve, a fund that functions as the

district’s savings or emergency fund. Kathy Johnson, the district’s director of finance, said that hopefully the district would not end up using of all of that.

“We’re getting to where it’s a little scary to get it too much lower, just because we need that ability to navigate cash flow,” Johnson said, noting that the reserve is at about $5.4 million.

Kimball noted that the spending down of cash balances was an action taken in response to criticism from some state legislators that districts had an abundance of reserves, but that it was time to reevaluate.

“They’ve been fussing at school districts in general for holding cash balances that they deem to be too high, that we’re sitting on money,” Kimball said. “So we’ve spent it down. As I said to somebody today, we’ve kind of reached that point where we’ve spent it.

insured people would flush about $4,300 each into the local health care system per year, for a total of approximately $21 million.

As of Monday night, the Kansas Hospital Association was estimating Kansas had forfeited $1.3 billion in federal funding for expansion.

Thirty-one states and the District of Columbia have expanded Medicaid programs since Jan. 1, 2014. The federal government has fully funded coverage for newly eligible adults under the expansion in those 31 states.

By 2020, the federal government will phase down funding to 90 percent.

“Nineteen states have chosen not to do this, but Kansas is even a little special in that group,” said Sheldon Weisgrau, of the Health Reform Research Project. “They’re debating it in their legislatures. They’re talking about it. In Kansas, we’re not even having the discussion.”

Weisgrau said Kansas has some of the most restrictive income eligibility requirements, which bar any childless adult, no matter their income.

Kansas Department of Health and Environment

Secretary Susan Mosier has testified to legislators against expansion, saying Kansans with disabilities were still waiting for Home and Community Based Services — an issue that should be dealt with first, she said.

Weisgrau said Monday that was a “false choice.”

While being steamrolled on the issue in the Kansas Legislature, Weisgrau said the main objection he heard was that the expansion was part of the Affordable Care Act. “We have to get past that,” he said. “Obamacare has been the law of the land for more than six years. It’s not going anywhere. We have to figure out how to make it work and design a program that is palatable here in Kansas.”

Jon Stewart, with Heartland Community Health Center, and Dr. Sherri Vaughn, a physician with Total Family Care, spoke Monday about patients who fell in the coverage gap and limited their health care visits because of it.

Stewart said he heard of a mother bringing her children to Heartland who denied undergoing a mammogram or cervical screening.

Property tax decrease The budget also includes relief for local property owners: a 3.165 mill decrease in the district’s property tax rate.

The majority of that reduction was made possible after recent state funding changes essentially walked back reductions to equalization aid made by state lawmakers last year. The $1.5 million increase for the district allows it to generate the same amount of money in its local option budget but with less local tax dollars.

Taxes are levied on 11.5 percent of a home’s assessed property value, and 1 mill is equivalent to $1 for every $1,000 of that value.

Under the school district’s current tax rate, the owner of a home valued at $160,000 pays about $1,047 in property tax per year toward the district. The 3.165 mill decrease amounts to about $58 less per year for that owner.

Though the property tax reduction was welcome news, Superintendent Hayden recognized that more changes needed to be made in the upcoming year to improve the district’s outlook.

“The good news is the mill levy went down,” Hayden said. “The bad news is we are deficit spending and we are dipping into our reserves at a pretty high rate, and we’re going to have to develop a pretty good plan to address that.”

The budget will not be final until the board votes to approve it. The board’s budget hearing and approval will take place Aug. 8 at district offices, 110 McDonald Drive.

“But we’re a rarity in health care today, especially looking around the state,” she said.

Looking back on her childhood in rural Chase County, Shumate said she was 40 miles from the nearest hospital, Newman Regional Health in Emporia. She would later attend nursing school at Emporia State University Newman School of Nursing and have a decadeslong career there.

Newman used to be a full-service hospital like LMH, Shumate said, but it’s now classified as a Critical Access Hospital, a designation that allows it federal dollars through a program designed to keep small hospitals afloat.

PHILADELPHIA It’s a sign of how divided the Democrats are that Hillary Clinton is counting on Bernie Sanders to put it back together.

Through a long and sometimes bitter primary battle, Sanders had gone from annoying critic to increasingly serious challenger for the Democratic presidential nomination. But in his address Monday in the Wells Fargo Arena, at the close of the convention’s chaotic opening day, the Clinton camp was hoping the Vermont senator would be able to staunch the noisy protests from some of his supporters not ready to embrace Clinton as the party’s

standard-bearer.

“I understand that many people here in this convention hall and around the country are disappointed about the final results of the nominating process. I think it’s fair to say that no one is more disappointed than I am,” Sanders said in prepared remarks. After listing a litany of his key causes, he concluded, “By these measures, any objective observer will conclude that — based on her ideas and her leadership — Hillary Clinton must become the next president of the United States.”

At risk with the convention’s conflict was the image the Clinton campaign had hoped to project this week of competent and steady leadership, a contrast to the roiling disputes at the GOP’s convention last week in Cleveland. The Republicans had faced an angry rules showdown and a chorus of boos that filled the

“I ask you as a personal courtesy to me to not engage in any kind of protest on the floor.”

Bernie Sanders, in a text to supporters

MICHAEL B. SMITH AND VERONICA BRAVO, USA TODAY

PHILADELPHIA The Democratic convention that will make Hillary Clinton the first woman ever nominated for president opened Monday with protests in support of the man she defeated, Bernie Sanders — who received the night’s lengthiest and most rousing reception.

Mimicking the dissension that marked the Republican National Convention in Cleveland last week, disconsolate delegates supporting Sanders interrupted speakers with cries of “Bernie!” A few even chanted the GOP mantra: “Lock her up!”

Their anger was prompted by an email scandal that revealed favoritism inside the Democratic National Committee for Clinton and forced party chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz to relinquish the job. As a result, days after Republican nominee Donald Trump’s controversy-laden Republican convention staggered to a finale, Democrats stumbled out of the box themselves.

The protests subsided as the evening wore on, and the Democratic faithful were treated to speeches from Sanders and others popular among the party’s left wing, including Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker.

“I understand that many people here in this convention hall and around the country are disappointed about the final results of the nominating process,” Sanders said. “I think it’s fair to say that no one is more disappointed than I am.”

But he said his “political revolution” will go on, and “any objective observer will conclude that — based on her ideas and her leadership — Hillary Clinton must become the next president of the United States. The choice is not even close.”

First lady Michelle Obama made a passionate appeal on behalf of a former first lady, “who has the guts and the grace to keep coming back and putting those cuts and those cracks in that highest glass ceiling.”

“Because of Hillary Clinton, my daughters and all of our sons and daughters now take for granted that a woman can be president of the United States,” she said.

Speakers included all elements of the diverse party, displaying a different image than the Republicans’ mostly white mosaic: African Americans and Asian Americans, Latinos threatened by

For the first time, every square inch of all 50 states will see above-average temperatures for the next three months, according to a forecast map from the federal government’s Climate Prediction Center.

An entire forecast map awash in the red and orange colors of unusually warm temperatures for

a three-month period is unprecedented, according to Dan Collins, a meteorologist with the prediction center. Typically parts of the heat map register blue, depicting the likelihood of cooler-than-normal air, or white for equal chances of cool and warm.

The archives for the center’s climate predictions go back to 1995, Collins said.

U.S. locations. The Weather Company, the parent company of the Weather Channel, predicts heat relief for one part of one state: Montana.

The ongoing heat is due to a “blocking” pattern in the upper atmosphere that allows highpressure ridges to build. Air sinks under high pressure, preventing clouds and rain from forming.

Todd Crawford, chief meteorologist with the Weather Company, said that these types of blocking patterns during the summer have been more common in recent years, and it may be related to a decline in Arctic sea ice because of climate change.

Attacks shadow Clinton’s moment

Why her achievement may seem less acclaimed than Obama’s 8 years ago Rick Hampson @rickhampson USA TODAY

Feminists here to see Hillary Clinton become the first major-party female presidential nominee worry the historic sound of her breaking what she calls “the hardest glass ceiling’’ is being drowned out by insults: “Liar!” “Crook!’’ and worse.

“We always knew this would PHILADELPHIA

happen to the first woman,’’ says Eleanor Smeal, a founder of the modern U.S. feminist movement.

“She would have to be the most qualified, and she would be the most vilified.’’

And now, “she alone is catching all the crap — all the sexism, all the misogyny,” said Terry O’Neill, president of the National Organization for Women.

Clinton has been vilified from the floor of the Republican convention — where delegates

chanted “Lock her up!’’— to the dark side of Twitter. There, some detractors moved from casually calling her a five-letter word beginning with “b’’ to a four-letter one beginning with “c.’’

In his convention speech, Ben Carson linked Clinton to Lucifer.

A New Hampshire state legislator said that because of her inaction during the attacks on U.S. diplomats in Benghazi, she should be shot for treason.

Whatever the impact of such vitriol, Clinton’s achievement seems less acclaimed than Barack Obama’s eight years ago.

Clinton counts on Sanders’ aid v CONTINUED FROM 1B

PATRICK T. FALLON, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Marchers hold signs showing support for former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders in Philadelphia.

“I can see there’s a little bit of interest in my being here, and I can appreciate that interest.”

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla.

A DNC statement apologized to Sanders for the “inexcusable remarks made over email,” saying the comments “do not reflect the values of the DNC or our steadfast commitment to neutrality.”

Sanders sent an email to his delegates warning that “our credibility as a movement will be damaged by booing, turning of backs, walking out or other similar displays. That’s what the corporate media wants. That’s what Donald Trump wants.”

Late in the day, convention leaders moved Sanders’ speech to the end of the night to assure prime-time TV coverage.

In Charlotte on Monday, Clinton dismissed the Trump campaign as divisive and negative, accusing Trump of “trash-talking the United States.”

“We’re going to have a convention that highlights success stories,” she said.

Despite Sanders’ vigorous endorsement of Clinton, there was dissent.

Texas delegate Barbara Fetonte, 63, expressed the frustration of many Sanders supporters.

“We know Bernie would be a much stronger candidate against Trump,” Fetonte said. “That’s also what’s making this so hard — she’s not a strong candidate.”

Clinton’s fans predicted the Sanders crowd would come around. “They’ve got a little bit of stuff they need to get out of them, and then they’ll be ready to get on board,” said Patsy Keever, who chairs North Carolina’s Democratic Party.

Quicken Loans Arena when Texas Sen. Ted Cruz concluded his prime-time speech without endorsing nominee Donald Trump. “Vote your conscience,” Cruz had said.

While Democrats are undeniably more unified than the GOP — for one thing, the party’s former presidents and presidential nominees are showing up in Philadelphia — the person wielding the gavel to open the conclave at the Wells Fargo Arena here was Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, a last-minute fill-in for Debbie Wasserman Schultz. The very presence of the Democratic chair was deemed inflammatory after the leak Friday of nearly 20,000 Democratic National Committees emails, some snarky toward Sanders.

The WikiLeaks disclosures reinforced Sanders’ longstanding complaint that the Democratic establishment had “rigged” the system against him. In a bid at damage control, DNC leaders late Monday afternoon issued a “deep and sincere” apology to Sanders and his supporters for “inexcusable remarks.”

That wasn’t enough.

Even during the opening prayer, chants of “Bernie!” erupted when the Rev. Cynthia Hale invoked Clinton’s name.

They continued to reverberate despite the entreaties of speakers. A few in the crowd chanted “Lock her up,” echoing the most popular anti-Clinton chant in Cleveland.

Before he arrived at the convention, Sanders tried to quiet the disruptive chants by his supporters. “Our credibility as a movement will be damaged by booing, turning of backs, walking out or other similar displays,” he said in an email to his delegates. “I would ask you as a personal courtesy to me to not engage in any kind of protest or demonstration on the convention floor.”

That did seem to tamp down

some of the protests, and first lady Michelle Obama received a tumultuous reception that ignited the hall.

That said, some Sanders delegates in the New York sat on their hands during Obama’s speech. And when Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a liberal heroine, delivered a speech denouncing Trump and lauding Clinton, there were a few chants in the hall of “We trusted you.”

Party unity isn’t enough to guarantee victory in November, but disorder and divisions often contribute to defeat.

Over the past half-century, Democrats were split in tumultuous conventions three times, in 1980, 1972 and 1968; they lost all three elections.

Republicans split three times, in 1992, 1976 and 1964; they lost all three.

This time, the divisions in the GOP are deeper and more fundamental. The convention’s home-state governor, John Kasich, refused to endorse Trump or address the gathering. The GOP’s senior mayor, Mick Cornett, addressed the convention but told USA TODAY he was considering voting for Libertarian Gary Johnson.

That said, the Democratic convention hall took on a more raucous tone from the start.

Clinton campaign officials thought they had defused the opposition of the Sanders forces once they had won the senator’s endorsement. In an analysis by the Pew Research Center, nine of 10 Sanders supporters nationwide said they plan to vote for Clinton in the general election.

“The fact of the matter is, in contrast to the Republicans, our party is unified right now,” campaign manager Robby Mook told reporters. “We have no minority report on our platform. ... We have no minority reports on our rules. There was a unified effort to commence some important party reforms in the year ahead. And that was worked out with the Sanders campaign. ...

Donald Trump’s desire to crack down on immigration, gays and lesbians, people with disabilities and mental illness. The most popular sign held aloft by delegates read, “Love trumps hate.”

Speaker after speaker denounced Trump for his divisive rhetoric. “That’s Donald Trump’s America: an America of fear and hate,” Warren said. “An America where we all break apart. Whites against blacks and Latinos. Christians against Muslims and Jews.

Straight against gay. Everyone against immigrants. Race, religion, heritage, gender — the more factions, the better.”

Speakers sought to bridge the gap between Clinton’s and Sanders’ supporters by stressing the former rivals’ similarities — such as on education, where Clinton has endorsed debt-free college at public universities. Sanders would go further.

“Bernie’s ideas. Hillary’s ideas.

Our shared ideas,” Booker said.

“We cannot be seduced by cynicism about our politics because cynicism is a refuge for cowards,” the New Jersey senator said.

The stakes are high: CNN and CBS polls released Monday indicate that the GOP convention may have provided enough bounce for Trump to inch ahead of Clinton.

The four-day homage to the nation’s first female nominee for president took an early hit with the pre-convention release by WikiLeaks of almost 20,000 DNC emails, some of which showed staffers favoring Clinton over Sanders during hard-fought primaries. In one email, an official suggests the party could damage Sanders in the South by pressing him on his religious beliefs.

“I’m disappointed that this isn’t more of a story,’’ she adds.

“Are we more apathetic to gender issues than racial issues?’’

A Morning Consult poll taken after Clinton clinched the nomination last month found that only 38% of voters (33% of men, 42% of women) viewed it as a “historic moment” for the country.

Possible reasons Clinton’s nomination seems less resonant:

Baton Rouge police officer Montrell Jackson, one of three law enforcement officers killed July 17 by a lone gunman, was laid to rest Monday.

Like the services for Baton Rouge police officer Matthew Gerald on Friday and East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Deputy Brad Garafola on Saturday, Jackson's funeral was attended by thousands of mourners, including law enforcement officers from across the country.

Jackson, who is survived by his wife and 4-month-old son, served on the Baton Rouge Police Department for 10 years.

Jackson was gunned down July 17 alongside Gerald and Garafola about a half-mile from Baton Rouge police headquarters by a shooter identified as Gavin Long of Kansas City, Mo. The suspect was killed by police.

2 teens dead in shooting at club As many as 16 others hurt at teen party in Florida nightspot Dan DeLuca, Michael Braun, Melanie Payne and Melissa Montoya The (Fort Myers, Fla.) News-Press FORT MYERS , FLA .

Two people are dead, including a 14-year-old boy and a local high school basketball star, and up to 16 have been injured after a deadly shooting during teen night at a Florida nightclub. Police said the shooting “is not an act of terror.”

The gunshots rang out just after midnight Monday as parents picked up their kids from what was billed on Facebook as a teen “Swimsuit and Glow Party” at Club Blu in Fort Myers. (The post was subsequently removed and the page taken down.)

Fort Myers interim Police Chief Dennis Eads, who was at the crime scene Monday morning, declined to answer questions about whom shooters may have targeted.

Fort Myers police said they detained three people who are being questioned about the shooting.

Police named the victims as Sean Archilles, 14, and local high school basketball star Stef’an Strawder, 18.

Jean Robert Archilles, Sean’s father, told The News-Press he still can’t believe his son is dead.

He said the boy went to Royal Palm Exceptional School and he can’t imagine why anyone would kill him.

Strawder, a promising high school basketball player who aspired to play Division I college basketball, was pronounced dead at Lee Memorial Hospital at 3:30 a.m., according to his mother, Stephanie White.

The teen was shot in his right shoulder as he walked through Club Blu’s door on his way to the parking lot, his mother said.

White heard Strawder had pushed his cousin out of the way right before he was hit.

Earlier, the newspaper interviewed a woman who identified

People comfort one another at the scene of a shooting at Club Blu in Fort Myers, Fla. where two young men were killed and as many as 16 others were injured early Monday.

“We did everything we could to make sure these kids were safe.”

Club Blu co-owner Cheryl Filardi

herself as Adline Azemard, Archilles’ relative.

“My cousin called and said Sean is dead,” Adline Azemard said. “We were at Lee Memorial (Hospital) all night, and they don’t tell us nothing.”

Azemard said she sometimes works at the club as security for adult events.

“They should have had security,” she said. “I didn’t know they had kid parties.”

Fort Myers Mayor Randy Henderson said the city will investigate why so many young people were at Club Blu into the early morning hours. The city has a 9 p.m. curfew for minors Sundays through Thursdays and 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

Most of the 18 victims treated

Police work to gather evidence outside Club Blu. Three people were being held for questioning in the incident. at hospitals were released, though two remained in the intensive care unit, said Cheryl Garn, spokeswoman for Lee Memorial Health Systems.

In total, 18 victims were transported to hospitals.

The most seriously injured have “potentially life-threatening” wounds that, in the case of

one patient, required surgery, physican Drew Mikulaschek said at a news conference Monday.

He would not comment on the nature of the injuries or the ages of the hospitalized victims, citing medical privacy regulations.

In a statement by Club Blu on its Facebook page, which is no longer available, the club said it

was “deeply sorry for all involved.”

An earlier statement on Facebook, which has since been deleted, said: “No ID was required because it was a middle school/ high school event.” The post said family members were picking up the teens, which is why there were adults in the parking lot.

At the top of the club’s Facebook page, Club Blu described itself as a restaurant and lounge with “New Orleans Style Soulfood.”

However, an earlier version of the page advertised a “no panties night,” saying that women without underwear would be admitted free. According to local reports, the “Girls Gone Wild: No Panties Edition” was held a week before the “Swimsuit and Glow Party.”

“We did everything we could to make sure these kids were safe,” Club Blu co-owner Cheryl Filardi told the News-Press, adding that at least eight armed guards were there for security.

“There was nothing we could do. ... A car rolled up and just started shooting,” she said.

There was a series of gunshots fired in rapid succession, she said, leading her to believe one of the guns involved was an automatic.

One of the security guards was shot, she said.

After the melee, police responded to two other areas in Fort Myers they believed to be tied to the club shooting.

In the first, officers went to a home just east of the club after it and some cars were shot at, leaving one person with a minor injury. At the second location, one person was detained.

Fort Myers police and deputies from the Lee County Sheriff’s Office are canvassing the area in search of anyone else who may have been involved.

This incident comes six weeks after the deadly shooting at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, about 150 miles north of Fort Myers.

The Orlando gunman, who pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, killed 49 club patrons June 12 before being shot by police in what is considered the worst mass shooting in recent U.S. history.

One last landing Amid attacks, Germany and a record flight sticks by refugee policy events occurring in for Solar Impulse 2 Violent ‘unthinkable timeline’ has some Ryan W. Miller USA TODAY

The Solar Impulse 2 airplane touched down early Tuesday morning, completing its final leg of the first entirely solar-powered flight around the world.

The experimental airplane landed amid much fanfare in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates — the same city where the historic voyage began more than a year ago, in March 2015.

Moments after landing Swiss pilot Bertrand Piccard, stuck his hand out of the cockpit, giving a thumbs up, and said: “We made it! We made it! All together, we did it!”

Piccard took off from Cairo early Sunday local time for the last portion of the journey that combines global circumnavigation and solar energy. He alternates legs of the flight with fellow Swiss pilot André Borschberg, who landed the plane in Cairo on July 13.

United Nations SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki Moon on Monday joined a live-stream video call of the flight and encouraged Piccard during the pilot’s final leg.

“You are always welcome on our team,” Piccard told Ban from the cockpit. Musician Akon also

called into the live stream to support the mission.

During one stretch of the plane’s world tour using only energy from the sun, Borschberg completed the world’s longest non-stop solo flight last July — a four-day, 21-hour, 52-minute trip from Japan to Hawaii.

After that record-breaking flight, the damage it caused to the plane’s battery delayed the project until the plane resumed its flight in April. The aircraft then made multiple stops in the United States, from San Francisco to Phoenix, then to Tulsa.

on edge and blaming ‘open door’ Angela Waters

Special for USA TODAY BERLIN Germany is on edge following a string of attacks by refugees, including a 27-year-old Syrian man who pledged allegiance to the Islamic State before blowing himself up outside an open-air music festival in the southern part of the country.

The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the bombing, which left 15 people wounded in Ansbach on Sunday evening.

The bombing was the fourth attack in Germany in a week. The worst was Friday’s mass shooting at a Munich shopping mall by a mentally disturbed German“The Iranian teenager that left nine attacks dead before the gunman killed are sad himself.

Wendt blamed the country’s George Crisan, “open door” policy toward refconstruction worker ugees, which allowed more than a million asylum seekers to enter Germany last year, according to the German daily Die Welt.

Early Sunday, a 21-year-old Syrian refugee killed a pregnant woman with a machete in the town of Reutlingen. The first attack in this series happened when a 17-year-old Afghan refugee wielding an ax wounded five on a train in Würzburg on July 18.

The German government cautioned the public Monday not to make generalizations about refugees and not to assume all the attacks are related to terrorism.

Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière insisted the nation’s “welcome culture” has nothing to do with these attacks.

“In both the cases of Ansbach and Reutlingen, the attackers had gone through a full asylum application and security check,” de Maizière said. “We can’t rule out a connection to the Islamic State, as well as we can’t rule out that this was a lone-wolf attack.

We have to let the authorities do their work.”

Authorities ruled out terrorist motives for the Friday shooting in Munich, but investigations into Sunday’s attacks are still ongoing.

Sanders’ delegates boo his call to back Clinton, vow protests ‘This is the real world that we live in,’ senator says Nicole Gaudiano USA TODAY

Bernie Sanders drew loud boos from his delegates Monday afternoon when he told the crowd of nearly 1,900, “We have got to elect Hillary Clinton.”

The eruption came during a speech in which the Vermont senator was cheered for nearly every point he made — including his call to defeat GOP nominee Donald Trump.

“This is the real world that we live in,” he said, following up his call to elect Clinton. “Trump is a bully and a demagogue. Trump has made bigotry and hatred the cornerstone of his campaign.”

Monday’s meeting followed angry protests by Sanders supporters who already have hit Philadelphia’s streets to oppose Clinton’s nomination. Sanders has endorsed Clinton and has said he will do whatever is necessary to defeat Trump.

Michael Tafe of Hingham, Mass., said he and other Sanders delegates continue to believe the Vermont senator is the best candidate to defeat Trump and expressed unhappiness with Clinton’s decision to choose Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine as her running mate.

“We feel alienated by the Clinton campaign,” he said. “They’ve made zero effort to reach out to us. Hillary’s VP choice is doubling down on her moderate platform, and I think the people in this room are smart enough to realize once she gets into office, she’s just going to flip.”

MICHAEL CHOW, USA TODAY NETWORK

Bernie Sanders supporters cheer during the 2016 Democratic National Convention at Wells Fargo Arena. The Vermont senator was cheered for nearly every point he made.

“We feel alienated by the Clinton campaign.

They’ve made zero effort to reach out to us.”

Michael Tafe, Sanders delegate, Hingham, Mass.

sorb Sunday’s announcement by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida that she will step down as chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee after the convention over leaked emails that reveal earlier DNC attempts to undermine Sanders’ presidential campaign.

Democrats had hoped to project an image of unity at the convention, but the emails make that more difficult. So does Clinton’s appointment of Wasserman Schultz as honorary chairwoman of her campaign’s 50-state program to elect Democrats.

“It kind of all reaffirms in the

minds of Bernie delegates that we were given a raw deal, that we are dealing with a rigged system, that the primary was very much rigged from the very beginning in favor of Mrs. Clinton,” said Karen Bernal, one of the leaders of the California Sanders delegation, during a morning news conference.

A majority of Sanders delegates surveyed in a straw poll said they want to protest the nominations of both Clinton and Kaine on the floor, said Norman Solomon, a Sanders delegate from California and national coordinator of the independent “Bernie

Delegates Network.”

“If Hillary Clinton wants to move today toward more party unity, she certainly has it within her power to say it’s a mistake to make an honorary chair out of Debbie Wasserman Schultz,” Solomon said. “We shouldn’t be honoring someone who ran such a, we now know, disreputable shop at the DNC.” Sanders issued a statement Sunday saying Wasserman Schultz “has made the right decision for the future of the Democratic Party.”

“While she deserves thanks for her years of service, the party now needs new leadership that will open the doors of the party and welcome in working people and young people,” Sanders said.

“The party leadership must also always remain impartial in the presidential nominating process, something which did not occur in the 2016 race.”

In appearances on talk shows earlier Sunday, Sanders had again called for Wasserman Schultz’s resignation but said Democrats should focus on defeating Trump, whom he called “perhaps the worst Republican candidate that I’ve seen in my lifetime.”

“We have to elect Secretary Clinton, who on every single issue — fighting for the middle class, on health care, on climate change — is a far, far superior candidate to Trump,” Sanders said on Meet the Press. “That’s where I think the focus has got to be.”

Sanders will hammer that point home in his speech and will “rip into Trump” for denying climate change is real. He also will note the “most progressive platform in Democratic Party history” includes agreements he reached with Clinton to expand access to health care and make public college tuition-free for students from families with annual incomes up to $125,000 a year.

Same party but different email scandal Trump weighs in on Wasserman Schultz’s ouster, Dem hubbub Michael Collins USA TODAY

PHILADELPHIA Democrats ousted convention Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Monday in an effort to get past an email scandal that stoked simmering resentment among fans of Sen. Bernie Sanders who feel the party mistreated him.

Wasserman Schultz on Sunday said she would step down as chairman of the Democratic National Committee in the wake of the leak of DNC emails showing top officials there trying to undermine Sanders’ campaign. In one of the emails, Wasserman Schultz called Sanders’ campaign manager a “damn liar.”

The release of the emails threatened to undercut Democrats’ efforts to unify the party around Hillary Clinton as she AFP/GETTY IMAGES faces Republican nominee Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz Donald Trump in the fall.

Trump used the chairman’s ouster to craft an attack on Clinton, accusing the presumptive Democratic nominee of “disloyalty” toward Wasserman Schultz. Trump claimed Clinton knew all along about DNC efforts to tilt the nomination race toward her.

“Man, I don’t want her covering my back,” Trump said of Clinton.

Antonio Silba, a Clinton delegate from Orlando, called the behavior of Sanders’ supporters shameful.

“They are not listening to their candidate — Bernie doesn’t want them to be doing this,” he said.

“Bernie needs to control his people. I don’t consider them Democrats.”

A breakfast for Florida delegates to the Democratic convention turned raucous on Monday when Sanders’ supporters booed the Florida congresswoman off stage.

Kent Willis, a Sanders delegate from Gainesville, said he helped organize the protest at the Florida breakfast to draw attention to the party’s unfair treatment of Sanders.

“Our objective was to express our feelings that the behavior of Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the Democratic National Committee tipped the scales during the primary,” he said. “It’s a fact now.”

People march protesting the DNC email scandal and holding signs in support of Bernie Sanders.

It will be hard to prove Russians are behind DNC hack, experts say Elizabeth Weise @eweise USATODAY

SAN FRANCISCO Computer security researchers say it’s difficult to definitively say the cyber theft of files from the Democratic National Committee was perpetrated by Russian hackers as some media outlets have reported.

“Just because you find an AK-47 at a crime scene doesn’t mean a Russian pulled the trigger,” said J.J. Thompson, chief executive of Rook Security, an Indianapolis-based firm.

On Friday, Wikileaks released what it said were 19,252 emails and 8,034 attachments from leaders at the Democratic National Committee.

The documents, which the DNC has not dismissed as fraudulent, show antipathy toward Bernie Sanders, who had hoped to win the party’s presidential nomination.

They infuriated Sanders supporters and led to U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s announcement she would step down as the committee’s chair.

On Sunday, Hillary Clinton’s cam-

paign manager, Robby Mook, said on ABC’s This Week that the emails had been extracted by the Russians to help Donald Trump’s campaign. To support his claim, Mook cited “experts.”

Mook added to this charge Monday, telling reporters, “All we know right

“Russian state actors were feeding the emails to hackers for the purpose of helping Donald Trump.”

Robby Mook, Clinton’s campaign manager

now is what experts are telling us,” which is that “Russian state actors were feeding the emails to hackers for the purpose of helping Donald Trump.”

In an article published Monday, The New York Times reported that researchers at CrowdStrike, an Irvine, Calif.-based cybersecurity firm, had concluded the breach was the work of two Russian intelligence agencies, or

people working for or with them.

Crowdstrike declined to comment for this article. However, in May and June it blogged that an analysis it had completed of the long-known intrusion into the DNC’s computer network was the work of Russian intelligence-affiliated adversaries, one of whom it called Cozy Bear and the other Fancy Bear.

Crowdstrike said that it had run into both of these groups in previous attacks.

“Both adversaries engage in extensive political and economic espionage for the benefit of the government of the Russian Federation and are believed to be closely linked to the Russian government’s powerful and highly capable intelligence services,” Dmitri Alperovitch, the company’s cofounder, wrote in its blog.

However, experts within the cybersecurity world say it’s extremely difficult to know exactly who is behind an attack without the kind of on-theground surveillance that only government agencies are able to provide.

The FBI said in a statement that it was investigating the intrusion into the DNC’s computer network.

Closed tunnel could tangle commutes Karina Shedrofsky USA TODAY

The New York subway system will close one of its busiest tunnels for 18 months to make repairs, a move that will cause one of the largest commuter disruptions in the transit system’s history.

The repairs will begin in 2019, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) said Monday.

The L train, one of New York City’s most crowded subway lines, travels through the almost 100-year-old Canarsie Tunnel, which transports 225,000 passengers a day under the East River between Brooklyn and Manhattan. The transit authority says it must close the tunnel to repair serious flood damage caused by Hurricane Sandy in 2012.

New Yorkers have long awaited the decision as the agency considered two options: Close the tunnel entirely for 18 months, or partially close it for three years, leaving only one track open during construction.

The MTA said it chose the 18-month plan after a detailed operational review and talking to commuters.

MTA Chairman and CEO Thomas Prendergast and other officials led four large-scale meetings in communities af-

being left in a car for several hours downtown.

RHODE ISLAND Providence: Secretary of State Nellie Gorbea said her office won’t certify a state lawmaker’s nomination papers until officials determine whether he actually lives in his district.

New York subway riders will need to find an alternate route when the Canarsie Tunnel closes in 2019 for 18 months. fected by the closure. A survey by the Riders Alliance, a public transit advocacy group, found that 77% of New Yorkers living along the line preferred the 18month option.

“There is no question that repairs to the Canarsie Tunnel are critical and cannot be avoided or delayed,” Prendergast said in a statement.

The MTA and other city agencies are working to develop alternative plans to accommodate the thousands of riders who commute into Manhattan each day to work. The authority

is considering adding extra subway services on nearby lines, according to a statement.

John Raskin, executive director of the Riders Alliance, thinks the shorter, more comprehensive shutdown was the right choice, but will still be troublesome for riders who depend on the L train.

“The L train is a lifeline for many communities in Brooklyn, and there are few other options,” he told USA TODAY. “This is why we need to think creatively to make sure L train riders can get to work.”

Labor market, stocks have rebounded, but global risks remain Paul Davidson @Pdavidsonusat USA TODAY

Despite encouraging rebounds in both job growth and markets in recent weeks, the Federal Reserve is expected to maintain its poker face this week, offering few, if any, clues as to whether it will raise interest rates in September, economists say.

Fed policymakers are wedged between a recent upturn in economic and financial news and a lingering cloud of uncertainty.

benchmark rate at two-day meetings that conclude Wednesday.

Fed officials also stood pat in June, highlighting a sharp slowdown in job gains in April and May and the United Kingdom’s looming Brexit vote on whether to leave the European Union. The Fed lifted its key rate in December for the first time in nine years but has held it steady since.

Since then, the labor market has bounced back resoundingly, adding 287,000 jobs in June. And while the U.K.’s affirmative Brexit vote bore out the Fed’s fears and drove down stocks, U.S. markets reached new highs last week before giving back some gains.

Yellen told reporters last month after the anemic payroll growth in the spring, “We need to assure ourselves that the underlying momentum in the economy

has not diminished. I don’t know what the timetable will be to gain that assurance.”

It’s certainly not just one booming payGETTY IMAGES roll report, exFed Chair perts say. Fed Janet Yellen officials likely “will desire further evidence of labor market improvement before signaling” an upcoming rate increase, Michael Gapen, Barclays chief U.S. economist, wrote in a note to clients.

Despite June’s strong job growth, average employment gains the past three months were just 147,000, Gapen notes. That’s well below last year’s average monthly additions of 229,000.

And while stocks have rallied and corporate borrowing costs have eased after initial post-Brexit jitters, “it is likely too soon for Fed officials to signal the allclear,” Goldman Sachs says in a research note. “Brexit may have raised (economic) uncertainty.”

The Fed is also at a disadvantage because the Commerce Department is slated to announce second-quarter economic growth Friday, two days after the release of the Fed’s post-meeting statement.

Economists believe strong consumer spending drove growth near a healthy 3% at an annual rate after a feeble performance the previous two quarters. But policymakers likely want to see the hard data.

VERIZON’S TOP 5 DEALS MAYER BY LAURENT GILLIERON, EPA

MARISSA MAYER’S PAY THROUGH THE YEARS Marissa Mayer’s awarded pay since joining in 2012 Year Total as reported pay ($ millions) 2012 $36.6 2013 $24.9 2014 $42.1 2015 $36.0 Change in control $54.9* provision * As of latest proxy statement SOURCE: USA TODAY, COMPANY FILINGS

fraction of that. Yahoo’s stake in Alibaba is worth roughly $32 billion, and its stake in Yahoo Japan was valued at $8.7 billion. That implies the market sees Yahoo’s core business as worthless. That masked the value of Yahoo since the core business was being discounted due to the risk of triggering a tax bill, Mogharabi says.

At its peak in 1999, Yahoo was valued at more than $109 billion.

Mayer pushed to boost mobile, video and social efforts by spending more than $3 billion buying or investing in more than 51 companies, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence.

But the deal that captures the failures of the strategy was the biggest one, Yahoo’s $1.1 billion buy of Tumblr in May 2013. Yahoo has since written off 70% of the price it paid, Mogharabi says.

Verizon’s $4.8B cash deal for Yahoo’s assets isn’t one of its biggest. But it’s one of the few large ones focused on content.

Verizon is making a major bet that it can put together two fading giants — Yahoo and AOL — to create a new mobile and online powerhouse.

The telecommunications giant announced Monday that it will spend $4.8 billion to acquire Yahoo’s operating business, which includes advertising technology and popular online content such as Yahoo Sports, Yahoo Finance and micro-blogging site Tumblr.

Also included in the deal: the Yahoo brand and real estate attached to the core business, including Yahoo’s headquarters in Sunnyvale, Calif.

By pairing Yahoo with AOL — which Verizon bought in May 2015 for $4.4 billion — Verizon’s resulting digital media unit could represent another competitive option for advertisers currently flocking to Google and Facebook. In addition to its valuable ad tech, Yahoo also has digital content such as Yahoo Sports, Yahoo Finance and Tumblr, the blogging service it acquired in 2013 for $1.1 billion.

Across its various properties, Yahoo draws 1 billion monthly users.

“For advertisers, it creates a third platform of scale,” said Robert Peck, an Internet equity analyst at SunTrust Robinson Humphrey. “Right now, you only have two of them, which are Google and Facebook. Advertisers are looking for another platform of scale that can reach mass audiences, and this creates that.”

Verizon has been the leading candidate in Yahoo’s five-month sale process. Verizon, and its AOL unit, were attracted by those 1 billion monthly users, said AOL CEO Tim Armstrong, who will oversee the integration under the purview of Marni Walden, Verizon’s executive VP and president of the product innovation and new businesses organization.

“The scale game has really changed, and my guess is in the next five years it’s going to even more dramatically change,” Armstrong told USA TODAY on Monday. “So putting these companies together gives us a very significant leg up in terms of competing for the future.”

Not included in the deal: Yahoo’s 15% stake in Chinese retailing giant Alibaba, worth $32 billion, and its 36% stake in Yahoo Japan, worth about $8 billion. When the transaction closes — which is expected in the first quarter of 2017 — Yahoo will change its name and become a publicly traded investment company, the company said. CEO Marissa Mayer will help with the transition and could stay on long term, Armstrong said.

Shares of Verizon were down Monday 0.4% to $55.87. Yahoo shares were down 2.7% to $38.32.

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

The Dow Jones industrial average’s next move could hinge on how earnings stack up when seven members of the blue chip stock gauge report quarterly profits Tuesday.

After falling 78 points Monday, the Dow gets a slew of marketmoving earnings reports before Tuesday’s opening bell when six components report. Heavyequipment maker Caterpillar, burger giant McDonald’s, mobile player Verizon, as well as Dupont, 3M and United Technologies all release results early Tuesday. iPhone maker Apple reports after the closing bell.

Last week the Dow climbed to record highs before pulling back two of the past three sessions.

Facts about America’s investors who use SigFig tracking services:

Whether the Dow can top its alltime record close of 18,595.03 on July 20 could hinge on Tuesday’s profit results.

The only two Dow stocks reporting that are forecast to grow earnings from the same quarter a year ago are McDonald’s, which has benefited from a move to allday breakfast, and Dupont, according to earnings-tracker Thomson Reuters.

Apple, which has been hurt by slowing iPhone sales, is expected to earn $1.38 per share, down more than 25% from a year ago.

Similarly, earnings for Caterpillar, which have been held back by a strong dollar and a slowing global economy, are expected to contract by more than 24%. Verizon’s earnings will likely be overshadowed by Monday’s big news, when it announced that it was acquiring Yahoo’s core Internet assets for $4.8 billion.

Investors will be relieved when conventions end Q: Do stocks react to political conventions?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Stocks hate uncertainty. Political conventions are great examples of events that stoke questions and concerns.

These political bashes are often a time where hopefuls promise change and reform, which are often things investors don’t want to hear about. Investors like stability and consistency.

Investors historically have been unnerved most by the Democratic National Convention. During the 17 Democratic conventions since 1948, the Standard & Poor’s 500 recorded a median price decline of 0.2%, according to research from Sam Stovall of S&P Global Market Intelligence. Even a week after these Democratic conventions, the market was 0.24% lower.

The Republican National Convention has tended to be more positively received by investors. Stocks rose 67% of the time after the 18 Republican conventions since 1948 by a median of 0.22%. A week after the conventions, those gains subsided to 0.12%.

If there’s one thing investors seem to agree upon, though, it’s a sense of relief when convention season is over. Stocks posted a median gain of 0.9% in the week after the Democratic convention when that meeting came after the Republican convention.

Starbucks CEO has big plans for higher-end coffee shops Hadley Malcolm @hadleypdxdc USA TODAY

With its shops circling the globe, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz is doubling down on the company’s commitment to court premium coffee drinkers with new store formats.

Schultz will shift his focus toward the higher-end roasteries that Starbucks is starting to open, as well as 500-plus shops aimed at selling the chain’s line of rare “reserve” coffees, according to a strategic plan outlined Monday.

SCOTT EKLUND, FOR USA TODAY

Barista trainer Chris Smith brews a Colombia roast coffee on the siphon at the Starbucks Roastery in Seattle.

A new business group called Siren Retail will oversee the initiatives, which include growing the

Teavana tea business and building stand-alone stores for Princi, an Italian bakery chain Starbucks became an investor in this month.

In a letter sent to employees, Schultz emphasized the need for innovation and better customer experiences in the future.

“Going forward, I will intensify my focus on our overall longterm strategy and innovation,” he said, including opening more roasteries in “iconic cities.”

The announcement comes with a number of executive shake-ups that may signal an eventual departure for Schultz,

63, from the company he founded. While Schultz focuses on long-term projects such as the roastery expansion, President and Chief Operating Officer Kevin Johnson will head the senior leadership team and day-to-day business.

“Kevin and I will continue our daily collaborative relationship, calling upon our complementary skills to lead the company,” Schultz said.

“My faith and confidence in Kevin is unwavering.”

Cliff Burrows, group president for the U.S. and Americas, will become the head of the Siren Retail

group. John Culver, group president for Starbucks Coffee China and Asia Pacific, will become group president of a new division called Starbucks Global Retail.

The changes take effect Sept. 1.

Burrows will be tasked with differentiating the roasteries and reserve cafes enough not to jeopardize the company’s core business.

He also has the opportunity to make Starbucks a bigger competitive threat to artisanal local coffee joints and chains such as Peet’s Coffee & Tea, says Neil Saunders, CEO of retail research firm Conlumino.

Special to the Journal-World

To recognize World Breastfeeding Week on Aug. 1 through 7, the Breastfeeding Coalition of Douglas County has planned an event to increase support for breastfeeding families and help them celebrate.

Cary Allen, breastfeeding peer counselor at the Lawrence Douglas County Health Department said, “The breastfeeding journey is different for every mother and every baby. We want families to know there are community resources in place to support their unique breastfeeding journeys.”

Some of the resources in Lawrence include support groups such as the Lawrence Memorial Hospital Breastfeeding and New Parent Support Group, which meets every Monday from 10 to 11:30 a.m. at LMH. Another group, Breast is Best Social, meets every fourth Wednesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. at the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department.

Another group, La Leche League of Lawrence, meets the second Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. at LMH. These groups offer mothers the chance to ask questions about breastfeeding as well as socialize with other families.

Valerie LaMont, a participant in the Lawrence Memorial Hospital Breastfeeding and New Parent Support Group, said, “I appreciate these groups so much. I have been able to get advice and tips on breastfeeding, interact with other moms and their babies and receive information about other parenting resources or events.”

One of those events is World Breastfeeding Week. The theme for 2016 is “Breastfeeding: A Key to Sustainable Development.” The theme is meant to get people to think about how to value our well-being from the start of life, how to respect each other and care for the world we share.

To celebrate World Breastfeeding Week, the Breastfeeding Coalition of Douglas County and additional partners are hosting a free event at the Lawrence Public Library on Aug. 6 from 10 a.m. to noon. The event will offer activities and education for parents and children.

Children’s activities will include Story Time, Please see SUPPORT, page 2C

this isn’t one of them.

Back then it stung, but these days I recognize the right of the adult in the room to be a buzzkill whenever necessary. I do it all the time with my preschool-age kids, although my advice has less to do with pop culture than foreign objects that don’t fit up nostrils. So I figured I had a few years left before I encountered my son’s version of Sonny Crockett.

That was before I ever heard of Matt3756.

Heroes stay larger than life, only the screens get smaller. My parents’ idols were movie stars, mine were on TV, and my kids’ are online. In a bygone era, people may have referred to my son’s new hero as “some goofball from Penn-

sylvania.” His hometown newspaper, the Ellwood City Ledger, was more generous, sort of, when they called him “a man whose YouTube channel has gone semi-viral.” However you describe him, videos of Matt3756 playing mini-golf with his celebrity sidekick, who in the old days would have been known as “some other guy named Zach,” never get old. At least for the one person in our house obsessed with mini-golf. And all the other people out there who have viewed these videos over a million times.

“Hey there! I’m Matt3756, and you just stumbled upon my channel,” begins an introduction to the 692,002 followers who await Matt3756’s next visit to a Pittsburgharea arcade, carnival or mini-golf course. He may not sport around LA with Melanie Griffith on his arm like Don Johnson did, but

exemption for parents who have strong objections to vaccinating their children, but she does not recommend that route.

“The thing that parents have to understand with that is when one of these vaccine-preventable diseases shows up in a classmate, then the person who is not vaccinated may have to stay out of school for at least 21 days or longer,” she said.

Additionally, Colson said she believes in the safety and validity of vaccinations, and everyone should get them.

“I think they are a tremendous benefit to your general health and to the health of the community at large as things have changed, where we have more people

Sing and Sign, and activities from Lawrence Parks and Recreation. Adult activities will include demonstrations of baby wearing, a slide show highlighting the unique experience of breastfeeding, and information on local facilities and organizations that support breastfeeding.

In preparation for the event, the coalition is offering families the opportunity to share their breastfeeding journeys.

Visitsurveymonkey.com/ r/2YP8PS5 to share your story.

In addition, the coalition will be sponsoring the “Big Latch On,” a global event where women gather together to breastfeed and offer peer support to each other. The Big Latch On will be taking place simultaneously at registered locations all around the world. Mothers who are breastfeeding or pumping/expressing milk who wish to participate in the Big Latch On and be counted in the official numbers for the Douglas County event can register at the library at 10 a.m. The official count for the global event will be from 10:30 to 10:45 a.m. Last year, 15,336 women participated from 654 locations in 28 countries.

Betty Moles, a registered nurse at Lawrence Memorial Hospital and an international board certified lactation consultant, said, “We wanted to provide a variety of activities for families and give mothers a chance to tell their breastfeeding stories. Every story is different, but they all start with the same goal — giving their babies what they need to grow.”

On average, 95 percent of new moms who deliv-

should shave and wear socks, I wish Matt3756 would straighten his ballcap and pull up his pants.

Or at least use a name without a number in it.

Most of all, I wish my son’s hero were someone he didn’t just stumble upon.

But I have to admit, Matt3756 knows his way around a claw machine, and watches his language.

I should know. My son repeats everything he says (“Sheboingo!” being our favorite Matt3756-ism). And what’s the harm, after all, if my son likes to wind down before his bedtime reading routine by watching a little mini-golf, however disconcerting it is when he allows me “to be” Matt3756 during our own mini-golf games?

It was during such a game I realized that my own message to my dad during the Miami Vice years, echoed now to me by my own son, may have been as harsh to his ears

he’s a legitimate star, and small potatoes compared with online celebrities like Shane Dawson, Tyler Oakley and PewDiePie, each of whose best-selling books have flown off library shelves this year.

A book deal may seem like a step up for Shane Dawson, whose empire was built on videos of his own reactions to tasting fast food. Or just for anyone unfortunate enough to be called PewDiePie. But the media establishment needs online celebrities more than they need it.

The trick-shot bros known collectively as Dude Perfect now have a show on cable, but probably consider that audience secondary to their YouTube channel’s 10.5 million subscribers, a higher number of viewers than some World Series games have garnered in recent years.

as his disapproval of my favorite show was to mine.

For it was news all dads eventually hear, that we are not our sons’ heroes anymore.

To his credit, my dad was wise enough not to make me turn off the television. Instead, he gave me a couple of paperbacks

by Joseph Wambaugh, one of his favorite writers, who quit the LAPD of the “Dragnet” era to dramatize its unflattering realities in critically acclaimed books like “The Blue Knight” and “The Onion Field.” My dad could have put a little sugar on it, but as I struggle for an appropriate response to Matt3756, and the many other questionable heroes my kids will worship in the future, I find a hint in what I suspect my dad wanted me to know. He was paying attention.

There was nothing glamorous about the police work they depicted, but

I devoured those books, because the truth I sensed in them was way more interesting than Don Johnson peacocking around in a shoulder holster. Thirty years later, I’ve devoted much of my adult life to books, and while I can’t draw a direct line from that moment to now, the connection I shared with my dad around reading led me toward a career as a librarian. I know when I was 12, and in the years to come, I left no doubt as to his status as a fallen hero.

I only hope he saw that all the while, I still paid attention, too.

with immune disorders; we have people living longer, who then maybe do not have good immune systems also,” she said. “By vaccinating ourselves we are also helping protect their health when they have no choice in the matter.”

Some parents have particular concerns about the HPV vaccine, and according to an Associated Press article

from February, Kansas ranks last in the nation in the percentage of girls who have received it.

Colson said the HPV vaccine doesn’t need to negate the values parents instill in their children about sex; rather, because HPV can lead to cervical and several other types of cancer, she said she sees it as a means of cancer prevention.

er at LMH successfully initiate breastfeeding, compared to a statewide average of 77 percent and a national average of 79 percent.

Melissa Hoffman, a registered nurse and Community Education Specialist at LMH, said, “One of the most highly effective preventive measures a mother can take to protect the health of her infant is to breastfeed.” She noted that the World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding up to six months of age, with continued breastfeeding along with appropriate complementary foods up to two years of age or beyond. In Kansas, only 11 percent of infants are exclusively breastfed after six months.

Dear Annie: My wife and I met this new couple at a function, and they seemed really nice, so we exchanged information in hopes of meeting up again. We like meeting new couples and thought we’d see whether we have more in common.

We have hung out with them a handful of times now but don’t see any connection or really have much in common.

They are always bringing up politics and their strong beliefs in a particular party, followed by negative comments about what the state of our country would be if the other party were to win the presidential election and all the doom and gloom we would be in for.

My husband and I

Dear Annie

Annie Lane

dearannie@creators.com

have never been very political and don’t find much interest in discussing it.

We have a decently fun time with them, but my wife and I often talk about what else we could’ve done that evening or that day. The woman of the other couple texts my wife almost every Friday now to invite us out. We’ve said no a few times, but now we don’t wish to meet up with them anymore because these politi-

MADtv comes back on the air Summer’s over, fall has arrived. And the first “new” network show of the season is more than 20 years old. The CW reboots “MADtv” (8 p.m., TV-14), the sketch comedy series that ran on Fox from 1995-2009.

The new series features an ensemble of eight comics including Carlie Craig, Chelsea Davison, Jeremy D. Howard, Amir K, Lyric Lewis, Piotr Michael, Michelle Ortiz and Adam Ray. The old “MAD” was a late-nightSaturday affair often more cutting edge, and with a far more diverse cast, than “Saturday Night Live.” It remains to be seen if a prime-time slot results in a tamer sensibility.

O Television turns everything into television. Evidence of that can probably be found watching coverage of the Democratic National Convention (7 p.m., PBS, CSPAN, Fox News, MSNBC, CNN; 9 p.m., ABC, CBS and NBC).

And that goes double for reality television, a genre where the varieties of human experience seem whittled down to familiar patterns.

The good news is that the series “Born This Way” (9 p.m., A&E, TV-PG) showcases seven young people born with Down syndrome as they explore friendships and passions and make their way in a society that is not always understanding.

At the same time, the documentary is processed through reality TV conventions that have been around since “The Real World.” After all, this show airs right after the fourth season premiere of “Married at First Sight” (7:45 p.m., A&E), a series more contrived that it sounds.

O “Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel” (9 p.m., HBO) devotes an entire show and four correspondents to the upcoming Rio Olympics. Just more than a week off, the games will unfold against political chaos in Brazil, concerns about an exotic new virus, numerous scandals at the heart of the International Olympic Committee and a growing consensus that the social, political and financial costs of hosting the games have become unbearable.

That said, let the games begin!

O Faced with non-stop ghoulish mayhem, Deb and the counselors do what anybody would do — go camping deep in the woods — on “Dead of Summer” (8 p.m., Freeform, TV-14), where most of the characters seem addled, at least from the neck up.

Tonight’s other highlights Is it wrong of me to wish that the great white monster from “Jaws” (6 p.m., AMC) could guest-star on “Below Deck Mediterranean” (8 p.m., Bravo, TV-14), wrapping up its first season tonight?

O Twelve acts perform live on “America’s Got Talent” (7 p.m., NBC, TV-PG).

O “Bizarre Foods With Andrew Zimmern” (8 p.m., Travel, TV-PG) visits Shanghai.

cal conversations are such a drag.

It feels as if we are trying to break up with this couple but they don’t know it yet. We don’t know what to do.

BIG 12 EXPANSION

KANSAS CITY PITCHER IAN KENNEDY DELIVERS during the Royals’ 6-2 loss to the Angels on Monday at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.

Angels keep Royals reeling

Sizing them up ————

What do prospective conference members offer?

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

If you’ve followed any of the Big 12 expansion talk, whether in the past few years or just the past few days, you’ve probably heard it all.

From which universities are most likely to join the conference to which are the best fit and whether those who already are in the conference are planning to stay there, you’ve likely heard it all.

A good chunk of that time was spent deciphering whether the Big 12 was even going to expand at all.

And although we still do not know with certainty that is going to happen, the conference’s recent vote that authorized Commissioner Bob Bowlsby to strongly dissect the pros and cons of all interested parties leads many to believe that Big 12 expansion is coming.

We may know more as soon as September, and the big questions now are this: Who’s joining, and will the Big 12 expand to 12 or 14?

Hindsight many years from now may tell us otherwise, but as things stand today, it does not seem like expansion will be a bad thing for Kansas University.

There’s the fear by some that the revenue split will go down, which certainly would be bad for KU, but if the TV contracts are renegotiated, then the bottom-line number may not drop that much and could even go up.

With that element of this whole situation understood and still as vague as it can be, let’s take a quick look at what the addition of each rumored contender would mean for Kansas.

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Albert Pujols, even at 36 years old, is still an RBI machine for the Los Angeles Angels.

Pujols drove in four runs, Hector Santiago won his fifth consecutive start, and the Angels beat the Kansas City Royals 6-2 on Monday night.

Pujols drove in two with a bases-loaded single during a four-run first, then added RBI singles in the seventh and ninth innings. He leads the majors with 26 RBIs in July, including 16 in his past eight games, and he has 76 this season despite a .254 average.

Part of that is from hitting behind Mike Trout, Yunel Escobar and Kole Calhoun, all of whom entered Monday ranked among the top 40 major-leaguers in onbase percentage.

“Any time you’re hitting Tony Gutierrez/AP Photo behind Mike, you’re going BIG 12 COMMISSIONER BOB BOWLSBY ADDRESSES ATTENDEES DURING BIG 12 MEDIA DAY, July 18 in to get your opportunities,” Dallas. Bowlsby has referred to expansion as a seller’s market.

COMMENTARY

When I first heard what Chris Sale had done, I didn’t know whether to slap him or shake his hand.

In one mad flurry of weekend insanity the Chicago White Sox’s ace pitcher had nominated himself as the worst kind of petty, petulant, pampered, tone-deaf professional athlete — while at the same time unintentionally making a rather sharp point about a sports trend gone overboard.

Saturday he transmogrified into enraged fashion critic Christopher Scissorhands, destroying his and many other of the team’s 1976 “throwback” jerseys the Sox had planned to wear that night. Instead they had to pivot and wear 1983 throwbacks. Sale, who had been scheduled to start, was sent home.

Sunday he was suspended five games by the team, meaning the left-handed vandal would be eligible to pitch again Thursday. The suspension will cost Sale $250,000 of his $9.15 million salary. Also he was fined $12,500 for the cost of the unis he butchered to rags.

The gut reaction is to marvel at the insubordinate gall of any athlete who would do that.

Or the mental state, perhaps. I mean, what kind of emotional high wire are you teetering on to see slashing scissors as a reasonable reaction to your team’s sartorial choice?

I could hear a million sports fans all over the country shaking heads and saying something to the effect, “You pay me $9.15 million a year for playing in 35 games and I’ll take the mound wearing fluorescent orange leotards or a wedding dress if you ask me to.”

Sale’s spasm of derangement is only defensible as a statement against sports’ growing trend of throwback and other alternative jerseys. The anti-throwback movement finally has a face, and it is Sale’s scowling mug.

Enough with this parade of decades-old uniform looks, most of which were hideous and have not aged well. That includes the ‘76 White Sox unis with that ridiculous collared jersey. Nobody needs to see the Pittsburgh Steelers stepping out of the 1940s or the Miami Heat in the pastels of the ABA Floridians circa 1971. Camouflage uniforms?

Hide them. Forever.

Redesigned uniforms, throwback uniforms, alternate uniforms and different colors are done for one reason only: Money. It isn’t to honor a franchise’s heritage. It’s to move new merchandise, which fan-consumers flock to like lemmings or Pavlov’s dogs.

You want to honor your heritage, teams? Do it with a video montage or a halftime ceremony, not by making your current players dress like clowns.

YANKEES RELIEF PITCHER AROLDIS CHAPMAN DELIVERS A PITCH against the Red Sox in this photo from July 17 in New York. Chapman was traded Monday to the Chicago Cubs.

Cubs trade with Yankees for closer Chapman Chicago — Before the Chicago Cubs completed a trade for Aroldis Chapman, owner Tom Ricketts and president of baseball operations Theo Epstein decided they had to hear from the closer himself about a domestic violence allegation in the offseason.

So Ricketts and Epstein asked Major League Baseball for a window to speak with the left-hander, and they got him on the phone Monday. When the conversation was over, the blockbuster deal was on.

Chasing their first World Series title since 1908, the Cubs addressed one of their few weaknesses by sending a pricey package of four players to the New York Yankees for Chapman, one of the most dominant relievers in the game, but one who also comes with some risk for a franchise riding a positive wave.

“This is a game-changer. Aroldis Chapman is a game-changing-type pitcher in the postseason,” Epstein said. “As you sit around and game plan how you’re going to win a big game or how you’re going to win a postseason game, it makes it look a lot easier when you see him there on your lineup card.”

Chapman is expected to join the Cubs for tonight’s game at the crosstown White Sox. For the Yankees, it was a rare July trade that saw the best player in the deal leaving New York. But Chapman is eligible for free agency after this season, New York also has All-Stars Andrew Miller and Dellin Betances in the bullpen, and its haul included top shortstop prospect Gleyber Torres, versatile pitcher Adam Warren and minor-league outfielders Billy McKinney and Rashad Crawford.

“This was an easy call, and this was the right call,” general manager Brian Cashman said. “Easy because we traded from an area of strength and we are excited about the players that we’ve received for someone that obviously was only under control for two more months.”

The Yankees had won six of eight heading into Monday night’s game at Houston, but they still face long odds of getting to the playoffs.

They made the decision to trade Chapman after his agents said he would not agree to a new contract that would start in 2017, a person familiar with the talks said. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no public statement on those talks was authorized.

NFL

WR Gordon reinstated Cleveland — Josh Gordon’s curious and complicated career has taken a new turn.

He’s getting yet another chance.

The talented but troubled wide receiver has been reinstated on a conditional basis by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who met face-to-face with Gordon last week and said he believes the 25-year-old can “make the right choices” going forward.

Gordon has been banned since February 2015 for multiple violations of the league’s drug policies. He will be suspended for the first four games of the 2016-17 season, but he’s allowed to join the team in its upcoming training camp and can participate in meetings and conditioning work.

The league said once Gordon meets clinical requirements, he can take part in preseason activities, including practices and games. The Browns have their first practice of training camp Friday.

It’s a fresh start for Gordon, who emerged as one of the league’s rising stars in 2013 before several missteps led to his banishment.

LJWorld.com/highschool • Facebook.com/LJWorldpreps • Twitter.com/LJWpreps

Gordon expressed his gratitude in a message on Twitter.

“I’m blessed and grateful to be granted this opportunity,” he wrote. “I can’t wait to get back out there and play the game I love in front of the great fans of Cleveland.”

Manning cleared in HGH probe The NFL says it found no credible evidence that Peyton Manning was provided with human growth hormone or other prohibited substances as alleged in a documentary by AlJazeera America last year.

The league said the quarterback and his wife, Ashley, fully cooperated in the seven-month investigation, providing interviews and access to all records sought by investigators.

Tale of the Tait

McCollum gets 4 more years Portland, Ore. — CJ McCollum agreed to a four-year, $106 million contract extension with the Portland Trail Blazers, a person familiar with the deal said.

The person spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity Monday because the deal hadn’t been announced. It was first reported by Yahoo Sports.

McCollum was voted the NBA’s Most Improved Player after averaging 20.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 4.3 assists during the regular season. He raised his scoring average by more than 14 points over the previous season.

As the 10th overall draft pick in 2013, McCollum bided his time on the bench his first two seasons. The 24-year-old guard became a starter in the backcourt with Damian Lillard last season after four of the team’s starters left in the offseason.

With one of the youngest rosters in the league (24.6 years), the Blazers were considered a team that was rebuilding. But they overachieved to earn the fifth seed in the West and advanced to the second round of the playoffs.

McCollum averaged 20.5 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.3 assists in the postseason.

Waiters joins Heat for year Dion Waiters has been looking for a team that can offer him a prominent scoring role.

The Miami Heat could have just the role for him after a disappointing split with franchise star Dwyane Wade.

Waiters and the Heat were finalizing a oneyear contract worth $2.9 million, two people with knowledge of the negotiations told the Associated Press on Monday. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the contract has not been signed and announced.

Waiters averaged 9.8 points for the Oklahoma City Thunder last year, but had several big games in the playoffs.

Source: Cavs extend Lue Cleveland — Along with a sparkling diamond ring, Tyronn Lue’s getting another reward for an NBA title.

Cleveland’s easygoing coach has agreed to a multiyear contract extension with the Cavaliers, a person familiar with the deal told the Associated Press. Lue, who took over when David Blatt was fired in January, agreed to the deal Monday said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because it has not yet been signed.

The Royals did not have a base-runner against four relievers.

sliding open — for football and basketball — would probably be the most noteworthy aspect of this addition for Kansas.

COLORADO STATE — Kansas is already used to this trip, having partnered with Colorado in the Big 8 and Big 12 for years, so expansion to its neighbor to the west would not be as big of a transition for KU as it would for others. At least today, KU has a bigger athleticdepartment budget than CSU and would be well positioned to stay ahead of the Rams in the Big 12 pecking order. But CSU is in the process of bringing to Fort Collins a $200-million on-campus football stadium and, under former Iowa State coach Larry Eustachy, who is more than a little familiar with Kansas basketball, has enjoyed a strong but somewhat silent stretch of basketball during the past few seasons. Clearly, this is a program on the rise, and, if what I’ve heard about their campaign for Big 12 inclusion is accurate, this is going to be one of the most aggressive schools out there when it comes to bidding for a Big 12 spot.

HOUSTON — I’m a big fan of what Houston is doing right now, but I’m not sure Kansas should be. Houston, in many

He has positioned himself well to become the next great linebacker at KU on a list that features

ways, is a bit of a sleeping giant and could really blow up if it lands under the Big 12 umbrella. That would not necessarily be good news for Kansas, especially the football program. Right now, KU football can go into Houston and get some of those athletes who do not choose to sign with Texas, Texas A&M, TCU and Baylor, occasionally even beating out UH for some of the same recruits. But if the Cougars are added to the conference, KU’s edge of being in a Power 5 conference goes away, and it would make sense to assume that more than a few of those athletes would decide to stay home.

MEMPHIS — That high-dollar FedEx sponsorship that has been promised, should Memphis get in, would be a great thing for the Big 12 Conference, and every school in the league would benefit big-time from that. From a competition perspective, it doesn’t seem like the Tigers would be too much of a threat to what KU can do. We’ll find out more about that in midSeptember, when the Jayhawks head to Memphis for their third football game of the season.

If anything, adding the Tigers would be a boost for the KU basketball program, provided that new head coach Tubby Smith can do in Memphis what he was start-

ing to do at Texas Tech, giving KU an even greater strength of schedule than it already would have and another quality component to battle with in the weeks leading up to the Big Dance.

TULANE — Like the addition of Houston, this would be another blow to KU football, given KU’s recent success in recruiting the New Orleans area.

If Tulane gets in, it joins LSU in becoming the only other Power 5 program in the state. That would do wonders for the Tulane football program, which, after inclusion, would have a lot more to offer all of that in-state talent that now is looking elsewhere for its college football needs. There are two sides to every coin, though, so as much as adding Tulane could hurt, it also could help make the mileage gap between Lawrence and Louisiana seem a little smaller given the conference brotherhood.

UCF — Orlando’s a bigtime market, and there’s a lot to gain for the entire conference, should the Big 12 brass believe that now is the time to expand its footprint into Florida.

The guess here is that it won’t be, but UCF recently has upgraded its coaching by bringing in Johnny Dawkins (of Stanford and Duke fame) to coach hoops and Scott Frost (of Nebraska and Oregon fame) to coach football.

If that doesn’t tell you

how serious the Knights are about upgrading their athletic department, nothing will. Adding a Florida-based program would be a bigger lift for KU football than KU hoops. Right now, Bill Self can go anywhere on the planet to recruit an athlete, while KU football has a more focused recruiting region. Adding UCF to the Big 12 would probably be the push KU needed to start exploring with a little more regularity what it can do in the Sunshine State.

UCONN — By far the biggest basketball program on the list that would add buzz to the Big 12, UConn in would give Kansas its first truly elite conference partner in the college basketball world. Iowa State, Oklahoma and Texas during the past decade or so all have been big-time in the college basketball world.

But those three combined can’t touch what UConn has done on the college basketball landscape. National titles — both men’s and women’s — and Hall of Fame coaches are commonplace in Storrs, Conn. Add to that the fact that the UConn campus is less than an hour from ESPN headquarters in Bristol. The travel hit here would be significant. Storrs is 524 miles east of West Virginia (think Lawrence to Dallas), but the advantages seem to far outweigh the disadvantages.

some pretty impressive names from the recent past. Late last season, defensive coordinator Clint Bowen told me that Dineen had a legit chance to crack that list, and, with two years of eligibility still remaining, he appears to be well on his way.

Dineen is far from a perfect player. But his

heart, desire to develop his craft and the passion for both the program and to represent the city in which he grew up helps overcome any weaknesses he has as a player.

In short, Dineen is exactly the kind of Jayhawk that head coach David Beaty is trying to sign and develop more of. And the

mere thought that he has only scratched the surface on how good he can be at the position makes for an intriguing 2016 season.

We know Dineen will be a huge and crucial part of the Kansas defense.

What we don’t know yet is how good he’ll be and how impressive his stats will look.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Chisox take walk-off win The Associated Press

Interleague White Sox 5, Cubs 4 Chicago — Tyler Saladino hit a game-ending RBI single to put a damper on the Cubs’ trade for Aroldis Chapman.

J.B. Shuck sparked the winning rally with a leadoff single against Mike Montgomery (3-5), who was acquired in a deal with Seattle last week.

Shuck advanced on Dioner Navarro’s sacrifice, and Saladino followed with a bouncer into center field.

Dan Jennings (4-2) got two outs for the win. The White Sox also got two victories in their last atbat on Sunday against Detroit.

The Cubs trailed 4-2 before Dexter Fowler and Anthony Rizzo each hit an RBI single in the ninth.

They had runners on first and second with two out when Jennings struck out Jason Heyward to escape the threat.

Spieth striving to ignore history Springfield, N.J. (ap) — Jordan Spieth walked with purpose down the long corridor toward his locker, not stopping to look at the photos and scorecards that cover more than a century of golf history at Baltusrol.

Maybe that was just as well.

History has proven to be his toughest opponent this year, and it was bound to be a losing battle.

Dating to 1934 when the Masters began, Spieth is among 14 players who have won two majors in one year. Only five of those players ever won a

“I think it’s been a solid Spieth is not trying to year, and I think had last salvage his season at the year not happened I’d be PGA Championship.

MAJORS AT BALTUSROL 2005 PGA Championship (Lower Course) Winner: Phil Mickelson Score: 276 Margin: 1 shot Runner-up: Steve Elkington, Thomas Bjorn Summary: Mickelson was tied for the lead in the 18th fairway when he tapped the plaque commemorating Jack Nicklaus' 1-iron to the green when he won the 1967 U.S. Open.

Mickelson missed the green to the right, but chipped to 2 feet for a tap-in birdie and his second major championship.

... when the questions I get make me feel like it’s not.”

Trouble is, last year did happen. Comparisons were inevitable.

Graeme McDowell recalls his magical season in 2010 when he won the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach and delivered the winning point from the final match at the Ryder Cup. He ended the year by taking down Woods at his own tournament in California. It was tough to back up a year like that.

“It feels like a disappointment, like a certain young American who’s

having the same issue,” McDowell said, smiling because it was clear he was speaking about Spieth. “It’s the same way when you shoot 62. It’s very hard to come out on the golf course and back up a 62. That’s the micro version. The macro version is coming off a year like that trying to replicate it. Obviously, there’s a lot of traps.”

Are the expectations too high? Is the scrutiny too much?

“The kid is not having a bad year,” McDowell said.

“But he’s in a different stratosphere now. He’s in the Tiger stratosphere,

1993 U.S. Open (Lower Course) Winner: Lee Janzen Score: 272 Margin: 2 shots Runner-up: Payne Stewart Noteworthy: Janzen became the second player to win a U.S. Open with all four rounds in the 60s, and he tied the U.S. Open record that Jack Nicklaus set in 1980, also at Baltusrol.

Field: 156 players (136 tour pros, 20 club pros) Estimated prize money: $10.5 million Winner’s share: $1.89 million Defending champion: Jason Day

1980 U.S. Open (Lower Course) Winner: Jack Nicklaus Score: 272 Margin: 2 shots Runner-up: Isao Aoki Noteworthy: Tom Weiskopf became the second player to shoot 63 in the U.S. Open in the first round, only for Jack Nicklaus to match him on the same day. Nicklaus won his 16th major at age 40.

Jordan Spieth, Jason Day and Rory McIlroy have one final chance for a major in 2016 at Baltusrol.

MAJOR

Turnaround

1967 U.S. Open (Lower Course) Winner: Jack Nicklaus Score: 275 Margin: 4 shots Runner-up: Arnold Palmer Noteworthy: Nicklaus closed with a 65 to break the U.S. Open scoring record for 72 holes that had stood since Ben Hogan at Riviera in 1948. He would break his own record 13 years later.

1954 U.S. Open (Lower Course) Winner: Ed Furgol Score: 284 Margin: 1 shot Runner-up: Gene Littler Noteworthy: Furgol won his only major by closing with a 72 to hold off Gene Littler, who had won the 1953 U.S. Amateur the year before.

1936 US. Open (Upper Course) Winner: Tony Manero Score: 282 Margin: 2 shots Runner-up: Harry Cooper Noteworthy: The U.S. Open record score had stood for 20 years until Manero shattered it with a closing 67 for what turned out to be his only major.

1915 U.S. Open (Old Course) Winner: Jerome Travers Score: 297 Margin: 1 shot Runner-up: Tom McNamara Noteworthy: Travers was the second amateur to win the U.S. Open, following Francis Ouimet two years earlier at Brookline.

He previously had won the U.S. Amateur four times. He did not return to defend. In fact, he never entered another U.S. Open. Travers had a successful career on Wall Street.

1903 U.S. Open (Old Course) Winner: Willie Anderson Score: 307 Margin: Playoff (82-84) Runner-up: David Brown Noteworthy: Anderson shares the U.S. Open record of four victories with Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan and Jack Nicklaus. This was his second, and the first of three in a row.

where every shot he hits is going to be questioned, every move he makes is going to be questioned.

It’s something he has to get used to.”

And there’s another sobering reality that Spieth will have to consider: History suggests he might never have another season like last year.

Spieth didn’t just win two majors. He came as close as anyone to being the first to capture the calendar Grand Slam. He missed the British Open playoff by one shot and was runner-up to Jason Day in the PGA Championship.

Players head to PGA Championship just two weeks after the British Open to make room for this year’s Olympics

T

hey spent four days in the wind and cold at Royal Troon, competing for a major championship and most of them losing the battle. So imagine how players felt when they trudged off the course for the last time and were reminded that the PGA Championship started in 11 days.

"That's pretty mad," Graeme McDowell said, a slight grin as he shook his head. "An unusual summer."

Blame it on Rio. Golf is back in the Olympics for the first time since 1904, a dozen years before the PGA Championship even began. To make room for it, the PGA Championship agreed to move up to last week of July ahead of the Rio Games. The silver claret jug one week, a Wanamaker Trophy the next.

Historically, this is nothing new.

The PGA Championship, until it settled comfortably into a traditional August date, used to be all over the calendar. Jack Nicklaus won the 1971 PGA Championship in February when it was held at PGA National in Florida. It was held in December 1929 at Hillcrest Country Club in Los Angeles. Over the years, the PGA Championship has been played in every month except for January, March and April.

One thing doesn't change about the 98th PGA Championship. It's the last one of the year, one last chance for players to reshape their seasons.

That starts with Jordan Spieth, Jason Day and Rory McIlroy.

They began 2016 as the modern version of the “Big Three” because they had traded turns at No. 1 in the world and had combined to win five of the previous six majors. All three risk being shut out in the majors if they don't win at Baltusrol Golf Club on July 28-31.

Spieth is having a good year. He already has won two times, including in his home state of Texas.

He was one bad swing away from winning the Masters. It just feels like a failure compared with last year, when he won two majors and his worst finish was missing the playoff at St. Andrews by one shot. That was always going to be the case, and it's starting to wear on him.

"Had last year not happened I'd be having a lot of positive questions," he said. "Instead, most of the questions I get are comparing to last year and, therefore, negative.

Because it's not to the same standard. So that's almost tough to then convince myself that you're having a good year when nobody else ... even if you guys think it is, the questions I get make me feel like it's not."

One major could change everything.

Ditto for McIlroy, whose only victory was the Irish Open before a home crowd. McIlroy ended 2014 with two straight majors. Since then, he hasn't finished closer than five shots to the winner in six majors. Day has been No. 1 in the world since March, and his three victories are the most on the PGA Tour. They include a World Golf Championship and The Players Championship. It has been a very good year. A major makes it a great one.

The PGA Championship no longer uses the slogan, "Glory's Last Shot," even though it still applies.

MAJOR BREAKTHROUGHS Only three times in the last 50 years have the four majors been won by players who had never won one, most recently in 2011. Now there's a chance of that happening again. Danny Willett won the

Masters. Dustin Johnson won the U.S. Open. Henrik Stenson won the British Open.

They were first-time major champions with a strong pedigree.

Willett was No. 12 in the world when he won the Masters, and the others were No. 6. Go all the way back to the height of Tiger Woods in 2000 to find four major champions with such a high world ranking.

BALTUSROL The last two times Baltusrol hosted the U.S. Open, scoring records were set by Jack Nicklaus in 1980 and Lee Janzen in 1993. When it hosted the PGA Championship for the first time in 2005, only nine players broke par, led by Phil Mickelson at 276. The Lower Course designed by A.W. Tillinghast doesn't have a par 5 until the very end, and then it closes with two of them.

RYDER CUP The PGA Championship used to be the final event to qualify for the Ryder Cup. This year, there will be four more tournaments to collect points, though this still is a big one because majors count double. Spieth and Johnson each have clinched one of the eight automatic spots. Mickelson took a big step with his runner-up finish at the British Open. This will go a long way in deciding the other five.

Phil Mickelson won the PGA Chmpionship the last time it was held at Baltusrol in 2005.

COMPILED BY DOUG FERGUSON, ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOTOS

Last year: Jason Day became the first player in major championship history to finish at 20-under par. He closed with a 5-under 67 at Whistling Straits for a three-shot victory over Jordan Spieth, who was trying to be the first player to sweep the American majors.

Check the calendar: The PGA Championship was moved to the last week in July because of golf being on the Olympic program for the first time since 1904. The last time the PGA was not played in August was in 1971, when it was held at PGA National in Florida in February. The last time it was held in July was in 1968 at Pecan Valley Country Club in San Antonio.

Key statistic: Eleven of the last 12 winners of the PGA Championship had already won a tournament earlier in the year.

Noteworthy: The PGA Championship has been held in every month of the year except for January, March and April.

Quoteworthy: “The PGA Championship alone could become one of the most special weeks I've ever had.”
