KU executive leaving for Georgia State By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Sara Rosen, who has been Kansas University’s senior vice provost for academic affairs since 2011, will soon be leaving for Georgia State University, where she will take

over as dean of the College of Liberal Arts. Georgia State made that official announcement July 18. Her new appointment takes effect Aug. 17. Rosen has worked at KU for 25 years and most recently served as interim provost and

executive vice chancellor after Jeff Vitter resigned as provost to become chancellor of the University of Mississippi. KU’s former business dean, Neeli Bendapudi, took over the provost position on July 1. Please see ROSEN, page 2A

Candidate seeks probe of Kobach’s handling of documents ——

Petition submitted to summon grand jury By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

and likely under the influence of drugs, the affidavit says. Soon after the officers approached, Lawson ran outside and toward the parking lot, according to the affidavit, and the officers followed.

Topeka — A Lawrence Democrat running for a seat in the Kansas House has submitted petitions to summon a grand jury to investigate allegations that Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s office has been mishandling citizenship documents that are submitted to his office electronically, thus preventing qualified citizens from registering to vote. Steven X. Davis, who is challenging Rep. Barbara Bal- Kobach lard in the Democratic primary in the 44th District, invoked a state law Wednesday that allows citizens to summon a grand jury by petition. In a statement Wednesday, Davis Davis said people who try to register to vote online do so through a website operated by the Kansas Department of Revenue, in conjunction with the secretary of state’s office. There, they can upload scanned images of their birth certificate, passport or other documentary proof of citizenship that Kansas requires in order to register. Those images are then supposed to be forwarded to county election offices to complete the person’s voter registration.

Man faces charges after alleged scuffle with officer Police report using pepper spray, Taser in incident

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

A reportedly drug-fueled scuffle at a local hotel left one Lawrence Police Officer injured and a Fayetteville, Ark., man tased, pepper-sprayed and facing criminal charges. On the afternoon of June 12, Lawrence Police Officers

Larry Hamilton and Leo Souders arrived at the Quality Inn, 801 Iowa St., where a man — later identified as Eric Ryan Lawson — was reported to be in the middle of a nervous breakdown, according to an arrest affidavit filed in Douglas County

Repairs underway at Coronado Heights historic site Lindsborg (ap) — Work is underway to repair a national historic site that marks a spot where Spanish conquistador Francisco Vasquez de Coronado’s expedition visited in 1541. Project manager Bill Shipley says a new concrete deck and wood timbers, columns and beams have been put in at the castle at Coronado Heights near Lindsborg. “The plan is to make this look as authentic as possible to preserve the history,” Shipley said. The structure was built more than 80 years ago by Depression-era Works Progress Administration crews. The Salina Journal reports that the $150,000 project is funded by more than 200 individuals, businesses and foundations and a grant from the Kansas State Historical Preservation

Trust Fund. Shipley said that officials are looking at ways to smooth the castle floor, and that they are going to level it so that it’s more accessible. Plans also call for upgrades to the entranceways for the restrooms. Smoky Valley Historical Association president Chris Abercrombie said he was thrilled with the progress of the renovation project. “The new concrete deck and wood timbers look amazing. If you remember, the old ones were separating, had been vandalized, and just suffering from the effects of Kansas weather,” Abercrombie said. Coronado Heights has remained open throughout the renovations. Shipley says he anticipates that the project will be completed by mid- to late-August.

Believing Lawson was about to hit Souders, Hamilton used the Taser on Lawson, the affidavit says, but Lawson was apparently unfazed. “Lawson had a very brief, approximately one second, involuntary muscle contraction before frantically reaching and pulling the probes from his chest,” the affidavit says. Hamilton tried to use the Taser on Lawson

Although Lawson is described as a slender man, approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall, he was able to lift himself off the ground with Hamilton, who weighs around 245 pounds, and Souders on top of him. During the struggle, Lawson continued to yell “kill me,” the affidavit says. Soon, another officer arrived on scene, pepper-sprayed Lawson’s face, and the three police men continued to struggle.

The three officers held Lawson down, waiting for a fourth to arrive so they could handcuff him, the affidavit says, and at one point Lawson told the officers he had smoked meth. Once a police sergeant arrived on scene, the four were able to handcuff Lawson and place him in safety restraints, the affidavit says, but during the process Lawson began hitting his head on the pavement and nearby rocks. He was then transported to Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Souders’ finger was broken during the scuffle, while Hamilton suffered

behind on revamp of garden center By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

The Sunrise Project is designing its renovation of the old Sunrise Garden Center, but after months of fundraising it’s still falling short on the cost to complete it. While the Sunrise Project — a nonprofit geared toward healthy eating and environmental sustainability — looks to find more funds, a seed business also wanting to locate at the site received its first round of city approval to do so. The Sunrise Project’s director, Emily Hampton, said the campaign this spring and summer to raise the second half of renovation costs, approximately $40,000, “didn’t go well.” But the nonprofit wants to get started. “It’s happening,” Hampton said. “Just not as fast as we want.” Hampton said she’s waiting for a renovation

design to be completed before filing a building permit with the city. Once it gets a permit, work at the site, 1501 Learnard Ave., will begin. In the meantime, those with the Sunrise Project are waiting to hear whether they will be the recipients of another grant from the Kriz Foundation. Hampton applied for a grant with the foundation, which provided $39,000 toward renovation costs last December. Grant winners will be announced in November or December. “We reapplied to that same foundation hoping to get the other half,” Hampton said. “So we’ll get started and hope we’ll have the funding come through to finish it off and get moved in in late winter.” The Sunrise Project is the largest part of an Please see SUNRISE, page 4A

Lawrence to compete against Topeka in Pokemon Go Lawrence’s city government will take on the city of Topeka today in an hourlong competition of the augmented reality game Pokémon Go. One representative from each municipality will start a new Pokémon Go account and walk a route through their cities starting at noon, collecting as many Pokémon as possible in an hour. Whoever has the most Pokémon — and the most experience points — will win the competition for their city. The contest is dubbed “PiKAWchu Showdown,” a play on the name of the famous Pokémon, Pikachu. Kim Anspach, the community relations manager for Explore Lawrence and a self-proclaimed “Pokémon powerhouse,” will represent the city in the contest. The Topeka Capital-Journal reported Topeka’s assistant city attorney, Jason McIlrath, will play against Anspach. Anspach, with an entourage of people livetweeting the event, will start at City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St. Contestants can spend only 10 minutes on each block before moving on to the next. She’ll go south on Massachusetts Street to Ninth Street, and then go west on Ninth to Vermont Street. Anspach will go north on Vermont until she reaches the Carnegie Building, 200 W. Ninth St. The city is encouraging people to put down “lures” along Anspach’s route. Lure modules last 30 minutes and attract Pokémon to a location.

An employee there told me she expects the store will close sometime in September. Other stores in the area are remaining open. The closest stores are in the Wanamaker shopping district of Topeka, plus one in Lenexa. The shopping center

has been one I’ve been keeping an eye on for awhile. It was purchased a couple of years ago by a locally based development group that includes members of the Hatfield family. It has since redeveloped a portion of the space that formerly housed Discovery Furniture into a new Planet Fitness workout facility, which recently opened for business.

In December, the City Commission agreed to rezone the site to “light industrial,” opening up the potential for a mix of different uses there. Hampton plans to renovate the garden center’s old retail building into a classroom, meeting space, community kitchen and offices. Local businesses Lawrence Organics, Seeds from Italy and Central Soyfoods are also in various stages of working out of the site. The Lawrence Planning Commission unanimously recommended at its Monday-night meeting that Seeds from Italy be given its special-use permit to convert a space there. Seeds from Italy, a U.S. distributor for Italybased Franchi Seeds, is currently operated out of a home in rural Douglas County and distributes

Morning adds a few thousand more square feet that is up for grabs by retailers. Longtime commercial real estate agent Christian Ablah — who has been involved with bringing stores such as Dick’s Sporting Goods, Best Buy and others to Lawrence — is part of the development group. He told me Thursday that he doesn’t have anything new to report on tenant activity at the site, but he previously has said interest has been strong in the location. Chain retailers interested in Lawrence definitely are focused on south Iowa Street at

Semi trucks would make two deliveries to the site each year, according to information provided to the planning commission. No customers are expected there, but the business will create ADA parking and parking for two to three employees. The City Commission will make the final determination on whether Seeds from Italy can locate at the site. A date for commissioners to consider the request has not been set. Lawrence Organics is already growing organic transplants on some of the three acres. Central Soyfoods, a Lawrence tofu and tempeh production facility, will start the process of obtaining a special-use permit to locate there sometime in the future, Hampton said. — City Hall reporter Nikki Wentling can be reached at 832-7144 or nwentling@ljworld.com.

Directly behind the Planet Fitness building is a small and rather dated retail strip development that houses several small businesses. It doesn’t have good visibility from Iowa Street, but as retail interest along south Iowa increases, this may be the time that changes happen to that center. — This is an excerpt from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column, which appears each weekday on LJWorld.com.

Auburn woman accused of abusing several children loses custody Topeka (ap) — A judge has ruled that Kansas child welfare officials will keep custody of the younger children of a woman who took them to sing for the Oregon wildlife refuge occupiers and is accused of abusing them. A Shawnee County judge cited the children’s descriptions of abuse Wednesday in ruling that Auburn resident Odalis Sharp couldn’t get the younger ones back, The Kansas City Star reported. Sharp has 10 children, but several are over 18. Seven had

been temporarily placed in state custody. Three Sharp children testified that their mother hit them with rods and would say she was trying to “beat the fire” out of them. They said she also yelled and screamed Bible verses during the punishment. Sharp told the judge she loved her children, adding before the ruling that she was a woman of God and that “the real abuse is to take these children from their home.” In January, Sharp took seven of her children, who have a family gospel

band, to Oregon to sing for and support the 41day occupation by armed militants at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. One daughter, 18-year-old Victoria Sharp, was riding with Nevada rancher LaVoy Finicum and three of the other militants when Finicum was shot and killed by Oregon state police. At the end of April, five of her children bolted as she climbed in the shower, according to court testimony. Worried about the possibility of a shootout if authorities came to

Olathe — Authorities say a pickup truck has struck and killed a toddler in the Kansas City suburb of Olathe. The Kansas City Star reports that police identified the child as 14-month-old Harper Kay Rodden. Police said she was struck Wednesday afternoon on a residential street. She was taken to a hospital, where she died. Police said the driver stopped and cooperated with the investigation. Authorities are asking anyone with information to come forward. The child was at a home daycare center when the incident occurred. Online court records show the daycare is licensed and has not had any major violations during the last three years.

Kansas firefighter killed while headed to a parade Mayetta — Authorities say a northeast Kansas firefighter has died after a fire truck overturned while it was headed to a parade. The Kansas Highway Patrol says the crash happened Wednesday east of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation Reservation. The patrol says Hoyt firefighter Michael Schultz was driving northbound on U.S. 75 when the truck blew a tire near Mayetta. The truck veered off the highway to the left, crossed the median that divides the northbound lanes from the southbound lanes, crossed over the southbound lanes, struck an embankment and overturned. The patrol says the 47-year-old Schultz was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The patrol says a second firefighter was injured.

For comedy troupe Asperger’s Are Us, autism is no joke

sperger’s Are Us has a few requests for audience members in advance of the Bostonbased comedy troupe’s Aug. 5 performance at the Lawrence Arts Center. First and foremost, don’t expect to see the guys — that would be Noah Britton, Jack Hanke, New Michael Ingemi and Ethan Finlan, all of whom are openly autistic — poking fun at their condition or using the show as a lofty platform for autism awareness. And also: bring snacks. Canned goods, cereal, Pepsi and bananas are all on the guys’ wish list. “‘Cause in RV parks, the only food available is whatever you can hunt from the slower people staying in the RV park,” jokes Britton, the self-described “old man” of the group. Britton has been tasked with RV maintenance — a daunting task, as the 30-year-old pre-used vehicle has taken to breaking down quite a few times already — during the troupe’s cross-country summer tour. He’s about a decade older than his fellow

Python, Andy Kaufman and Steven Wright — but if audiences find it funny too, well, the more the merrier. A oneon-one conversation, Hanke explains, is harder to navigate for a person with Asperger’s than performing to an impersonal auditorium packed with row after row of anonymous faces. As much as the group prefers to shy away from an ambassador role, they don’t mind talking about Asperger’s with those who are genuinely curious. After every show, the troupe does a Q-and-A session with the audience, fielding questions from parents and teachers and others looking to better understand autism. “Honestly, if someone wants to hire us to do some kind of educational lecture, we will, but we’re very happy to just be funny on stage and appeal to people who have similar senses of humor,” Britton says, “And that’s really, I think, what every comedian wants.” — This is an excerpt from Joanna Hlavacek’s Out & About column, which appears on LJWorld.com.

Time to cut ties with clingy acquaintance Dear Annie: Morgan and I are from the same hometown, and a few weeks ago, she moved to the city where I live now. Though I’d never met her, we have a ton of mutual friends back home (or so I thought). She asked whether I’d show her around. I remembered what it was like to be new in town, so I was happy to help. Morgan and I got along well and had a lot in common. The first night we went out, she asked whether she could sleep on my couch because it was so late. I said sure. Then she stayed the next night, without asking — and then the next. One morning, when I woke up, my car was gone. She had taken it to the store without even asking. On top of this, she just got a job at the same store where I

work. I started to get a little nervous about the lack of space, and I told her I needed to set some boundaries and hang out less. This week, she asked whether she could live with me for a bit. I said no, but she won’t stop bombarding me with calls. I asked a mutual friend what Morgan’s deal is, and he told me that she’s crazy and all our friends stopped talking to her years ago. Now what do I do? I

A classic ecological thriller With “Sharknado: The Fourth Awakens” just three days away, we really need to re-appreciate Irwin Allen. The 1970s really belonged to Allen, the master of the disaster movie. Famous for 1960s television classics “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea,” “Lost in Space,” “The Time Tunnel” and “Land of the Giants,” he would dominate the next decade with such films as “The Poseidon Adventure” and “The Towering Inferno.” In 1978, Allen gave us the killer-bee s h o c k er “The Swarm” (9 p.m., TCM). It features a sprawling cast of actors both famous and past their prime, including Michael Caine, Katharine Ross, Richard Widmark, Richard Chamberlain, Olivia de Havilland, Henry Fonda, Jose Ferrer, Patty Duke, Slim Pickens, Fred MacMurray and many more! Decades before the “Sharknado” spoof-movie phenomenon, the disaster films of the 1970s blended blink-and-you-missedthem cameo casting with hyperbolic natural disasters to get people by the millions back to the movie theaters. A tale of millions of bees besieging Houston, “The Swarm” arrived as if to announce that the disaster movie vogue had run its crazy course. The Sunday Times of London called it “simply the worst film ever made.” Star Michael Caine — never shy about discussing his failures — generally agreed. The “Alfie” star simply felt it was unfair that despite the crowded cast, he was singled out for its epic failure. Master showman Allen never had another blockbuster. He would spend his last years making less-than-memorable television movies and receive a Worst Career Achievement Golden Raspberry Award in 1985. Irwin Allen died in 1991, but the big-concept ecological disaster movie has never gone away. Tonight’s other highlights O Auditions continue on “America’s Got Talent” (7 p.m., NBC, TV-PG). O No strings attached on “Bones” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-14). O Setting a new American standard on “Shark Tank” (7 p.m., ABC, TV-PG). O The final dozen cook for teens on “MasterChef” (8 p.m., Fox, TV-14). O “What Would You Do?” (8 p.m., ABC, TV-PG) captures ethical dilemmas on candid cameras. O “The Great British Baking Show” (8 p.m., PBS, TV-PG check local listings) returns to a Victorian confection. O A grim reunion on “Killjoys” (8 p.m., Syfy, TV-14).

For Friday, July 29: This year your patience will be tested. You might find a loved one to be unusually difficult or noncommunicative. On some level, this coldness could bother you a lot. Ask yourself why this person is behaving this way; ask him or her, too. If you are single, you could meet someone while taking a class or traveling. Be open to this person’s energy, which could be very different from what you have experienced. If you are attached, the two of you will relate more easily to each other. The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ++++ You could feel pressured by someone at a distance who continues to seek you out.

Care concerns The DCF secretary’s response to an audit of the state’s foster care services raises concerns.

indings released this week from an audit of the Kansas Department for Children and Families are, at a minimum, troubling. Even more concerning is DCF Secretary Phyllis Gilmore’s response. Among the audit’s findings were that DCF has failed to conduct thorough background checks on licensed foster care providers, failed to conduct required monthly in-home visits of children in foster care and almost always grants waivers for families who do not meet space and financial resources guidelines to serve as foster parents. Gilmore’s reaction? She simply dismissed the findings and then blamed the media for reporting them. “Twenty years ago, there was this myth that children in state custody were maltreated and unsafe, and that myth is still perpetuated here 20 years later,” said Gilmore, a former state legislator. “And I ask you to join with us in putting that myth to an end. It is not true, but it still is prevalent.” Gilmore chastised the media for writing about the audit’s findings and said such media coverage was to blame for low staff morale at DCF. How disappointing. Gilmore’s response would be laughable, except that there is nothing funny about the state’s most vulnerable children having their lives placed at risk by the agency charged with their care. The audit was conducted by the Legislative Division of Post Audit, which provides auditing services to the Legislature at the direction of the Legislative Post Audit Committee, a bipartisan committee of five senators and five representatives. State lawmakers requested the audit after a series of incidents in which children died or suffered serious abuse or neglect while in state custody. The portion released this week is the first of a three-phase audit of the overall performance and effectiveness of the state’s child welfare system. The second report, to be released in September, will examine how well DCF is complying with state and federal regulations concerning children in state custody. The final report, to be released in December, will examine how well privatization of child welfare services has worked since it was implemented in the 1990s. In the wake of this week’s findings, Democratic lawmakers called for Gilmore to resign. That ultimately may be necessary, especially if Gilmore doesn’t start addressing, instead of denying, the problems within the state’s child welfare system.

Washington — In a bizarre turn of fate, the diehard supporters of Fidel Castro’s left-wing ideology seem to be fighting their last battle in Venezuela, as the frustrated, hungry population there pushes for democracy and change. The political stalemate in Venezuela continued this week as the National Election Council, under pressure from the leftist government, failed to meet a Tuesday deadline to act on an opposition demand for a recall referendum this year that could replace President Nicolas Maduro. Though the required number of signatures appeared to have been collected, the council postponed a decision until Monday. U.S. officials fear a disintegration of the current, delicate political situation. The Venezuelan government Tuesday called for the abolition of the opposition coalition, known as the MUD, which controls the country’s parliament. The government accused the opposition of “massive fraud” in the push for a recall vote — an allegation that Venezuelan opposition leaders and U.S. officials both dismiss. U.S. officials fear that the government’s attempt to ban dissent could provoke counter-demonstrations and a crackdown in the streets. The government’s latest foot-dragging tactics are a sad illustration of the paralysis and decline that have afflicted the country since the revolution symbolized by the late Hugo Chavez

It has sputtered along under his successor Maduro, propped up by aging Cuban leftists and their Venezuelan allies. But even Cuba has now partly defected, embracing the resumption of relations with the U.S. — leaving Venezuela with a collapsing economy, desperate food shortages, a corrupt government and a bitterly polarized political elite.

his ruling group. Luis Almagro, secretary general of the Organization of American States, courageously took the lead in May when he issued a carefully documented report on the abuses of Maduro’s government and proposed revoking Venezuela’s membership in the OAS. Secretary of State John Kerry endorsed Almagro’s stand in June. U.S. officials this week discussed the next step in this isolation campaign, which would be to suspend Venezuela from the Latin American trading bloc known as Mercosur, which includes Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. Maduro was scheduled to take the rotating presidency of the group this summer from Uruguay. But at the urging of Paraguay (with quiet U.S. support), that handover has been blocked. The U.S. is also weighing sanctions that would restrict the travel and foreign banking of some top officials of the Maduro regime. Lawenforcement sources also disclose that sealed indictments have been handed up in U.S. federal courts naming nearly a dozen prominent Venezuelans allegedly implicated in drug-trafficking cases. U.S. officials say they intend to play these cards carefully — worrying that they could trigger even more disorder within the battered country. The challenge for the Obama administration has been to help Venezuelans achieve change without making the United States the issue. This reticent strategy has been aided

Keep the community conversation going Editorial Page Editor

by the increasing willingness of the region’s giants, Brazil and Argentina, to resist against Maduro’s pressure. The Vatican has also endorsed a mediation mission, which has tentative support from Maduro. That’s one ray of hope in the embattled country, according to Venezuelan opposition sources. The role of the military will be crucial in maintaining order. The majority of the military is prepared to stand with the parliamentary opposition, according to retired Maj. Gen. Hebert Garcia Plaza, a former member of Maduro’s Cabinet who left in 2014 and has been accused of corruption by the regime. He says that the Venezuelan Minister of Defense, Gen. Vladimir Padrino Lopez, is seeking to prevent further deterioration of law and order. The greatest danger to Venezuelan security, Garcia Plaza said in an interview, is a network of militias inside the country that back the most hard-line elements of Maduro’s government. Garcia Plaza shared with me documents showing that some of these militias were created years ago by Chavez himself, with the backing of Cuban Fidelistas, as a strategy to protect the regime from the kind of change movement that has now arisen. Venezuela doesn’t get much attention in the U.S. press. But stay tuned next week when the final confrontation may come over Maduro’s recall.

When my ninth-grade civics class was assigned to write term papers about careers that interested them, I wrote about journalism. I worked on my high school paper and on the University Daily Kansan while earning my journalism degree. I worked at the Parsons Sun for a year and a half before Managing Editor Ralph Gage called to ask if I’d be interested in applying for a job at the Journal-World. I was hired as the area reporter, covering all the small towns around Lawrence, and worked as a features editor and Sunday editor before replacing Bill Mayer as editorial page editor in 1987. All told, I’ve Gardner had the good fortune to work for more than 41 years at the only job I ever really wanted. There are some things about this job that I won’t miss, but not many. Being the editorial page editor at the JournalWorld is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to interact with and appreciate this community and the people in it. I’ve been fully exposed to the diversity of interests and opinions that Lawrence has to offer and certainly am the better for it.

I grew up with newspapers. I love the way they are organized and the way you can carry them around, show a story to someone else or clip something out and save it. I have a coffee mug on my desk that says “I love the smell of newsprint in the morning.” I love newspapers, but, these days, I’m less concerned with how news is delivered than with preserving the profession of journalism. Social media is an interesting delivery tool, but without the reporting of professional journalists, there would be little content to share or comment on. Professional journalists who have to go back to the same sources and the same readers day after day know the importance of accuracy, fairness and integrity. They keep an eye on all levels of government in a way that average citizens cannot. The watchdog role they play is essential to open government and a healthy democracy. At their best, editorials should give readers something to think about, a position to consider even if they don’t agree with it. Journal-World editorials aren’t signed because they represent the opinion of the newspaper and not the individual writer. They truly are a collaborative effort. I am grateful to both Dolph Simons Jr. and his father, Dolph Sr., for giving me a chance 29 years ago to help shape that editorial voice. Dolph Jr. and I freely admit that we don’t see

eye to eye on every issue, but working through those differences almost certainly has resulted in editorials that are more thoughtful and more respectful of varying viewpoints. Over the last 40 years, I’ve worked with many outstanding editors and reporters, including some who will remain on the J-W staff after the ownership change. They are dedicated to their work and fully aware of the important role the Journal-World plays in our community. I’ve also worked with many, many contributors of letters and guest columns to the Journal-World. Thank you for caring enough to express your opinions. People I’ve met over the years often are interested in the Journal-World and my job. At some point, I came up with what I thought was the perfect answer to the frequent question, “So, do you write editorials?” I always responded, “Well, yes I do, but only the ones you agree with.” I knew that wasn’t always true, but it usually kept the conversation going in a friendly direction. It’s been my honor to be part of our community conversation. Lawrence is full of opinions and people who care deeply about many issues. I urge you all to keep the conversation going. Keep it as friendly as you can, and don’t forget to listen. You never know what you might learn.

Trustworthiness challenge stems from more than just the controversies that have swirled around her for 20 years. Heidi M. Przybyla USA TODAY

PHILADELPHIA In becoming the first female presidential nominee of a major U.S. political party, Hillary Clinton did not just claim the Democratic nomination but aimed to serve as a vessel for American women during a monumental moment in their history. She and a parade of speakers before her emphasized the moment’s significance for future generations. “I’m so happy this day has come,” she said. “Because when any barrier falls in America, for anyone, it clears the way for everyone,” said Clinton. Her address came on the heels of a rousing speech by President Obama on Wednesday night, and the challenges were clear. They boiled down to how effectively she could make a closing argument to American voters after four days devoted to combating questions about her trustworthiness. In addition to stressing the need for “steady leadership,” Clinton shared more about her personal history, showcasing an average Midwestern upbringing. “Some people just don’t know what to make of me,” she said, before explaining how she grew up,

describing her grandfather who worked in a Scranton lace mill and her mother, Dorothy, who was abandoned by her parents and ended up working as a house maid at age 14. She also stressed the importance of her Methodist faith, as well as her early work going doorto-door on behalf of children with disabilities in Massachusetts. “No one gets through life alone. We have to look out for each other and lift each other up,” she said. From India’s Indira Gandhi to Germany’s Angela Merkel, many other nations have elevated women to their highest office. Yet the United States has been slow to do the same, with Clinton’s nomination coming 100 years after Jeannette Rankin became the first woman elected to Congress. The program Thursday night also aimed to paint a portrait of a devoted daughter, mother and grandmother. Chelsea Clinton gave a highly personal account of Clinton as a mother, saying “every single memory I have of my mom is that, regardless of what was happening in her life, she was always, always there for me.” Clinton sought to demonstrate v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

102 days: Now, the sprint to November Here are 3 points that will play in coming months Susan Page @susanpage USA TODAY

102 days. More than a year after Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump announced their presidential campaigns, and after months of bitter primaries that took unexpected turns in both parties, the sprint to November has started. Trump “wants to divide us from the rest of the world, and from each other,” Clinton warned in her acceptance address Thursday night, receiving tumultuous cheers from most in the hall but jeers from a few dozen supporters of her primary rival, Bernie Sanders. “We have to decide whether we all will work together so we all can rise together.” In the wake of back-to-back political conventions, here are three things we’ve learned

about the political landscape that Clinton and Trump will be running on in the most unpredictable election in a generation. 1. IT’S THIS CLOSE

In national polls, it’s a tie — at least for now. That may be a bit misleading, since Trump got a bounce from the Republican convention last week while any bounce from the Democratic convention, which ended Thursday night with Clinton’s speech and a display of fireworks at the Walls Fargo Center here, hasn’t had a chance to be measured. That said, the most recent nationwide polls averaged by RealClearPolitics.com put Trump at 45.6%, Clinton at 44.7%, a difference of less than a single percentage point. In the nation’s two quintessential swing states, the contest is closer. In Florida: Trump 43.8%-Clinton 43.5%. In Ohio: Trump 41.8%-Clinton 42.6%. Senior Democrats are exv STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Making history as the first female major-party nominee for president, Hillary Clinton said Thursday that America faces “a moment of reckoning” over the economy, terrorism, national unity and the candidacy of Republican opponent Donald Trump. “Powerful forces are threatenPHILADELPHIA

ing to pull us apart,” Clinton’s said. “Bonds of trust and respect are fraying,” and the American people “have to decide whether we’re going to work together so we can all rise together.” Clinton peppered her remarks with criticism of Trump and defined her policy agenda largely in response to her Republican opponent. Pledging to enact a “path to citizenship” for migrants who are in the country illegally, Clinton attacked Trump’s proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexican border. She promised to work with allies to combat terrorism and said

ROBERT HANASHIRO, USA TODAY

Conventiongoers hold up signs supporting Hillary Clinton.

Trump’s criticism of military alliances would undermine global cooperation. Clinton mocked Trump for saying in his convention speech last week that he “alone” can fix the nation’s problem. “Americans don’t say, ‘I alone

can fix it,’ ” she said. “We say we’ll fix it together.” Promising that her “primary mission” as president would be “more good jobs with rising wages right here in the United States,” Clinton warned that the nation faces a “stark” choice between her and Trump over national security. Clinton cited recent terrorist attacks in the USA and abroad by “determined enemies that must be defeated.” “No wonder people are anxious and looking for reassurance — looking for steady leadership,” she said.

Playing off a slogan of Republican President Ronald Reagan, Clinton criticized Trump’s negative tone by saying he has turned “morning in America” into “midnight in America.” Trump did not stay idle as Clinton accepted her nomination. He campaigned in Iowa, where he again attacked “Crooked Hillary” as an unfit candidate. In a written statement, he said Clinton and the Democrats live in a “fantasy world” that ignores the Islamic State, porous borders with Mexico and Americans who have stopped looking for work as trade deals send jobs overseas.

pressing the same bewilderment that Trump’s Republican rivals did during the primaries over the billionaire businessman’s ability to build support. “Donald Trump’s getting 15% of the Latino vote ... and in the two Quinnipiac polls, he got zero African-American votes in Pennsylvania and Ohio,” Ed Rendell, a former Pennsylvania governor and Democratic national chairman, said Thursday at a breakfast hosted by Bloomberg Politics. “He’s getting clobbered among women. He’s losing college-age white men by 10 points. And somebody please tell me how he’s even or in the margin of error.” 2. FASTEN THE RUST BELT

Back to basics. A half-dozen familiar states are likely to provide the battlegrounds for the fall. Trump’s no-room-for-error path to the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House likely begins with a trio of industrialized states that loop around the Great Lakes — Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania — and are home to many of the workingclass white voters who have been drawn to his message of economic grievance and revival. If he can carry them, hold the reliably red states and add Florida (no easy task), Trump wins. Clinton has more options. She starts with a larger number of electoral votes from reliably blue states. If she can carry Colorado and Virginia, swing states that have been heading in her direction, and then add either Florida

Clinton and Trump have starkly different résumés and political views, but they share this: Record-breaking unpopularity. or Ohio, she wins. Trump asserts he might compete in such traditionally Democratic states as New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and California. “States like Connecticut have come into play,” top Trump strategist Paul Manafort insists. “The same issues that are resonating in Pennsylvania and in Ohio resonate in Connecticut.” Democrats mock that idea. “I absolutely encourage Donald Trump to spend time campaigning in Connecticut, New York and New Jersey,” Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook responds sarcastically. Iowa and New Hampshire are likely battlegrounds this fall, though they offer only a handful of electoral votes. In the closest of contests, even the single electoral vote available in each of the two states that allocate them by congressional district could be the target of fierce campaigning. 3. IT’S NOT ME. IT’S YOU

Clinton and Trump have starkly different résumés and visions, but they share this: record-breaking unpopularity. A Gallup Poll taken last week found them with precisely equal, and equally dismal, ratings: 37% favorable, 58% unfavorable. Both conventions included efforts to soften voters’ views of them. Melania Trump and Bill Clinton spoke warmly of their spouses in prime-time speeches. Donald Trump was introduced on stage by daughter Ivanka; Hillary Clinton was introduced on stage by daughter Chelsea. At the Republican convention, Trump’s business partner delivered a tribute. The Democratic convention featured individuals with stories about how Clinton had touched their lives. But strategists acknowledge the difficulty of changing opinions about public figures who are so polarizing. For each, the crucial task is to make sure the alternative is seen as more unacceptable — that is, as the greater of two evils. “To me, the key is the relationship between the two: More people have to find her acceptable and him unacceptable than vice versa,” Democratic pollster Mark Mellman says. “She can do more to help herself than anyone else can, so that needs to be her Job One. But she doesn’t have to really increase her favs. A voter can dislike her and find her at least acceptable.” Or at least less unacceptable than her rival is.

Back in 1996, then-Nightline host Ted Koppel shocked the media and political worlds. Two days into the Republican National Convention in San Diego, Koppel announced that he and most of his team were pulling out. The reason? There was no news to be found there. “This convention is more of an infomercial than a news event,” Koppel said. “Nothing surprising has happened; nothing surprising is anticipated.” Nightline had covered every convention since the program debuted in 1980. But the events had become so tightly controlled, so scripted, that they hardly required so much reporting firepower. “There was a time when the national political conventions were news events of such complexity that they required the presence of thousands of journalists,” Koppel said. “But not this year.” And the trend has continued — until now. In 2016, both conventions have been newsy affairs replete with surprising twist and turns. To be sure, we haven’t witnessed a “brokered” or contested convention, which at one point was being anticipated for the GOP conclave, like the one in 1948 where it took three ballots for Thomas Dewey to secure the Republican nomination. There definitely has been nothing on the order of the Democratic convention in 1924,

Nothing dull about these conventions which required 103, yep 103, ballots to produce a winner. But the conventions certainly have been lively. The GOP gathering in Cleveland last week began on a sour note when Paul Manafort, Donald Trump’s top campaign aide, tore into Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who has refused to endorse Trump and boycotted the convention his state was hosting. “He’s embarrassing his party in Ohio,” Manafort said. The bad vibes continued with a bitter fight in which antiTrump forces were denied a roll call vote on proposed rules changes, prompting some angry

delegates to walk out. On the convention’s opening night, a speech by Melania Trump, the candidate’s wife, was generally well-received — until an out-of-work journalist discovered that a portion of the speech closely resembled one that had been delivered by Michelle Obama. The plagiarism flap became a major preoccupation the second day of the convention. But the convocation’s most dramatic moment occurred Wednesday night, when Trump’s vanquished rival Ted Cruz refused to endorse The Donald, instead telling delegates to “vote your conscience.” The Quicken Loans Arena was quickly engulfed by boos and catcalls, and Trump later suggested he should have allowed Cruz to be “ripped ... off the stage.” The Democrats watching at home no doubt enjoyed this carnival of chaos and anticipated a drama-free coronation for Hillary Clinton now that insurgent Bernie Sanders had at last endorsed her. But they hadn’t counted on Julian Assange and WikiLeaks, who decided this would be a great time to leak a bunch of pilfered Democratic

that her passion for issues — like helping children and people with disabilities — can be traced from her earliest days of adulthood to her current bid for the presidency. “It’s a culmination of her work over a lifetime,” said campaign manager Robby Mook. House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, who is among those who blazed the trail for Clinton as the first female House speaker, called the moment “transformational” in an interview ahead of the speech. Clinton cast herself as a unifying figure while drawing a contrast with Donald Trump on temperament. “Don’t believe anyone who says ‘I alone can fix it,’ ” she said. “America is once again at a moment of reckoning. And just as with our founders there are no guarantees. It’s truly up to us.” Given her historically low levels of support from white men, the former secretary of State is counting on a huge gender advantage with women, including with younger females and some moderate Republicans.

National Committee emails. Some of the emails reflected what many Sanders supporters already believed: that the DNC had its finger on the scales for Clinton. By Sunday night, convention eve, DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz had announced she was resigning by week’s end. But the fun was only beginning. Rather than quietly slinking away, Wasserman Schultz still planned to gavel the convention to order. That idea quickly became inoperative when she foolishly appeared before the Florida delegation Monday morning and was roundly booed. So Wasserman Schultz was gone, but the Sanders forces were hardly placated. When Sanders implored his delegates Monday afternoon to back Clinton, they booed. When the convention opened officially that night, the Sanders die-hards booed each mention of Clinton’s name and chanted “Bernie! Bernie! Bernie!” Even for Philadelphia, the acknowledged boo-bird capital of the world, this was a lot of booing. The week wore on, and things calmed down as the convention heard from a bevy of Democratic heavy hitters. But boisterous protests continued on the streets of Philadelphia, including a particularly rowdy one outside the Wells Fargo Center on Wednesday night while Obama was speaking, All in all, there has been enough news coming out of conventions to please even Ted Koppel.

PRESIDENT AND PUBLISHER

Hillary Clinton arrives on stage Thursday. November. “You can look at how the Republicans have treated President Obama in a very disrespectful way. That’s why it’s very important to have a strong victory, so that the first woman president will have a Congress that cooperates, not obstructs,” said Pelosi. The speech, while unmistakably historic, was also political and aimed at defining the terms on which Clinton hopes the general election is decided. It focused on her commitment to being an effective commander in chief; her plan to defeat the Islamic State terror group; how to repair the nation’s social fabric by bringing people together; and how to get the economy going for middle and lower wage earners.

“Some of you are frustrated — even furious. And you know what, you’re right,” she said, acknowledging the economy isn’t working the way it should. She also relished in taking swipes at Trump in a campaign that has already been highly combative. “He spoke for 70-odd minutes, and I do mean odd,” said Clinton, referring to the GOP nominee’s acceptance speech last week in Cleveland. “He had zero solutions.” Underlying it all, though, was the unprecedented moment when Clinton shattered what she’s called the “highest, hardest glass ceiling.” “When there are no ceilings, the sky’s the limit,” Clinton said Thursday night.

Baltimore philosophical as Germany vows to stay Freddie Gray cases collapse a safe haven Community is quiet, with no arrests reported after charges dropped

after attacks

Greg Toppo

Gregg Zoroya

Reaction couldn’t have been more different from a year ago, when protesters looted buildings, marchers shouted “Justice for Freddie,” and national media showed fires in the streets. This week, after criminal cases collapsed against cops accused of killing Freddie Gray, the city was quiet. Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby, who had forcefully announced the charges after raucous, sometimes violent protests following Gray’s death, on Wednesday said she was essentially dropping the case. None of the six officers would face a day of jail time and the local police union said it would push to get the officers their jobs back. Many residents from the West Baltimore neighborhood where Gray was arrested are praising Mosby in spite of the botched case. Lt. Jarron Jackson of the Baltimore Police Department said there were no reports of violence related to the Gray case. Marvin Cheatham, 66, president of the Matthew Henson Neighborhood Association, near Gray’s neighborhood, said he thought Mosby had no other choice than to drop the remaining cases. “It’s sad that someone has to have lost their life and no one is being held accountable, but ... we can’t do what we did back in April (2015),” he said. “We know we’re not happy, but let’s not get angry.” Former Baltimore Mayor Kurt Schmoke, now president of the University of Baltimore, praised Gray’s family attorney, Billy Murphy, for saying the family “was not pursuing a specific outcome — they just wanted to see the process pursued.” Schmoke also said the city’s decision last September to settle a

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Thursday Germany will stand by its principles of offering safe haven to migrants and not bow to fears stoked by a series of attacks in one week, including two claimed by the Islamic State. Cutting short a vacation to meet with reporters after the nation’s refugee policy came under fire, Merkel vowed to ratchet up security measures. “Fear can’t be a good counsel for political action,” she said in Berlin. She acknowledged the shocking nature of the terror attacks, including three by refugees seeking asylum in Germany. In the two attacks claimed by the Islamic State, a Syrian refugee blew himself up in Ansbach on Sunday and left 15 people wounded. On July 18, an Afghan teenager wielding an ax wounded five passengers on a train in Würzburg. “Taboos of civilization are being broken,” Merkel said. The remarks come after more than 1,200 women filed complaints that they were groped in Cologne and other German cities on New Year’s Eve by men described as being of North African and Middle Eastern descent. The recent assaults put pressure on Merkel’s open-door policy toward asylum seekers. On Thursday, Merkel said her 2015 policy of accepting hundreds of thousands of migrants and refugees still stands. “I am still convinced today that ‘we can do it.’ It is our historic duty and this is a historic challenge,” she said, according to Agence France-Presse. The policy has frustrated a majority of Germans, with more than 60% saying the number of refugees being accepted have become too high, according to polling published by YouGov.

STEVE RUARK, AP

Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby speaks Wednesday after her office dropped charges against three Baltimore police officers who were awaiting trial in the Freddie Gray case.

“We can’t do what we did back in April (2015). ... We know we’re not happy, but let’s not get angry.” Marvin Cheatham

civil case in Gray’s death for $6.4 million was “the right decision.” “The criminal cases were always going to be difficult to prove because of the higher standard” of evidence for criminal negligence, he said. Gray, 25, who was black, died in police custody a week after he suffered a severe spinal injury while traveling without a seat belt in the back of a van on the way to

the police station. A police probe ruled Gray’s death an accident, but the protests, aligned with the larger Black Lives Matter protests roiling cities nationwide, pushed Mosby to pursue criminal charges against the six cops involved. The charges for some of the officers included second-degree murder, manslaughter and assault. But after the first trial ended in a mistrial because of a hung jury and Judge Barry Williams acquitted three others in bench trials, including the van’s driver and the highest-ranking officer of the six, Mosby had to reconsider the cases. After telling Williams early Wednesday that her office was dropping the remaining cases, Mosby picked a key location to make her formal announcement: the West Baltimore neighborhood where Gray was arrested. Mosby got a smattering of applause as she stepped out of a

black SUV and approached the podium. A few people in the crowd began chanting, “We’re with you! We’re with you!” Speaking in the shadow of a huge mural painted in Gray’s honor, Mosby said she still stands by the medical examiner’s determination that Gray’s death was a homicide. But she said it was “highly probable” that the remaining defendants would be acquitted as well. Mosby didn’t take questions, and as soon as she was done speaking, she walked straight to her SUV. Moments later, Michelle Dickens, 55, who lives nearby, comforted Gray’s mother, a distraught Gloria Darden, who had listened to the remarks. Dickens told her that Mosby is “the only one who came to this community! We have never had a state’s attorney come out to the public and speak her heart,” said Dickens.

French officials identified the second man behind the attack that killed an elderly priest and injured three others after seizing hostages at a Catholic church in Normandy as Abdel-Malik Nabil Petitjean. Petitjean, 19, born in Saint Die des Vosges in eastern France, was identified by DNA testing, the prosecutor’s office said Thursday morning.

uHan Song Ryol, North Korea’s top diplomat for U.S. affairs, told the Associated Press on Thursday that Washington “crossed the red line” and effectively declared war by putting leader Kim Jong Un on its list of sanctioned individuals, and said a vicious showdown could erupt if the U.S. and South Korea hold annual war games as planned next month.

China and Russia will hold joint military exercises in September in the disputed South China Sea, China’s military said Thursday. The joint drills by the two countries will take place on land and at sea and will not target any third party, China’s Defense Ministry spokesman Yang Yujun said, according to the state-run Xinhua News Agency. The drills are designed to improve the China-Russia strategic partnership and their ability to jointly deal with maritime security threats, Yang said. The announcement comes one day after a meeting of 10 South Asia-Pacific and South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), ended without a joint rebuke of China’s claim to islands and rocks in the disputed waterway. A rebuke was expected after an international tribunal ruled this month against China’s vast territorial claims to the region in a case brought by the Philippines. The Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague, Netherlands, ruled July 12 that China “had violated the Philippines’ sovereign rights” in the area. The ruling also said China had interfered with Philippine fishing and petroleum exploration, constructed artificial islands and used its law enforcement vessels to block off parts of the sea and obstruct ships. China vowed after the ruling to take “all necessary measures” to protect its claim in the area, which encompasses major shipping routes for goods traveling to and from East Asia, rich fisheries and petroleum under the sea floor. China’s ruling Communist Party said it had a right to set up an air defense zone. The United States considers the area an international shipping lane open to all civilian and mili-

Connects with voters where Clinton is disliked Erin Kelly USAToday

Rep. Raul Grijalva came to the Democratic National Convention this week to urge his fellow progressives to rally behind Hillary Clinton for president, but if he could choose only one person to appear at a campaign rally on his behalf, he would pick Bernie Sanders. “If I was in a race that was really close, I would want Bernie,” the seven-term Arizona congressman said. “He can fire up young voters of all races and people who might otherwise feel like there’s nothing in the election for them. He can help create a bigger voter turnout that can change the whole nature of a race.” Although Grijalva is not expected to have any trouble winning re-election, he is hoping to persaude Sanders to campaign with progressive members of Congress who are facing tough races, such as Rep. Mike Honda of California. Sanders’ spokesman Michael Briggs said the Vermont senator and former Democratic presidential candidate has received scores of requests to appear with candidates. Sanders hopes to help at least 100 candidates running for everything from Congress to local school board seats, Briggs said. “I will be campaigning for candidates all over this country, absolutely,” Sanders told USA TODAY in a July 14 interview. At the same time, he will be urging voters in those states and congressional districts to vote for Clinton. Sanders has endorsed his former rival and plans to actively campaign for her between now and the Nov. 8 election. Sanders may be a more effective advocate for Clinton than she can be for

herself in some parts of the country, especially in areas where progressive voters and young voters are key to winning, analysts say. “Bernie can also bring the kind of tested activists that are gold to any campaign that he endorses,” said Neil Sroka, a spokesman for Democracy for America, which supported Sanders’ presidential bid and has endorsed a slate of progressive congressional candidates. It’s not unusual for a failed presidential candidate to campaign with his party’s nominee after the primary season is over, but it’s rare for congressional candidates to request that the losing candidate join them at their rallies, said Barry Burden, a political science professor and director of the Elections Research Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “What’s really different here is that candidates are asking for him specifically,” Burden said. An appearance by Sanders could boost candidates in progressive congressional districts and states — including Wisconsin — that he won, Burden said. Sanders won 22 state primaries

and caucuses. “The demographics that Clinton and Sanders appeal to are so different,” he said. “Clinton appeals to older voters and AfricanAmerican voters. Sanders appeals to young, mobile voters. In Wisconsin, Sanders may be more effective campaigning in Madison, where there are lots of students. Clinton might be more effective in rural areas and in Milwaukee, where there are more African Americans.” Sanders’ ability to connect with voters in districts where Clinton is less popular will ultimately benefit Clinton since Sanders is now urging his supporters to cast their ballots for her, said Jack Pitney, a political scientist at Claremont McKenna College in California. “Given how long Hillary Clinton has been in politics, she gets it,” the professor said. “I don’t think her feelings are hurt.” Sanders may actually be the safer choice for candidates to bring to their rallies, Pitney said: “His popularity ratings are much better than Clinton’s.” Contributing: Nicole Gaudiano

WASHINGTON Donald Trump’s entreaty to Russian hackers to find rival Hillary Clinton’s deleted e-mails has renewed the debate over a decades-long tradition of providing major presidential candidates with classified intelligence briefings. Trump told Fox News on Thursday that his comment — which drew a firestorm of protests from the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia — was simply a sarcastic reference to Clinton’s e-mail scandal. But the mere suggestion that a foreign adversary be enlisted in espionage against a political rival led Democrats in Congress to call on President Obama to cancel the briefings. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid even suggested that intelligence officials give Trump a fake briefing. “I would suggest to the intelligence agencies, if you’re forced to brief this guy, don’t tell him anything. Just fake it, because this man is dangerous,” Reid said in an interview with the Huffington Post. “Fake it. Pretend you’re doing a briefing, but you can’t give the guy any information.” Those briefings are expected to start soon. Under a tradition started by President Harry Truman in 1952, the nominees of both major political parties receive classified briefings to prepare them for the presidency. Trump accepted the Republican nomination a week ago but has not yet been given a briefing, said an intelligence official who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the briefings. Questions, too, have been raised about Clinton’s capacity to receive classified information, given an FBI investigation that found she mishandled classified e-mails that she sent to and from a home-based e-mail server off the State Department network. That investigation absolved her of criminal activity, but the State Department is conducting a review of whether she should maintain the security clearance.

Bernie Sanders and Michelle Obama commanded the headlines at the Democratic National Convention on Monday night, but Sens. Cory Booker and Elizabeth Warren got prime speaking spots. Bill Clinton was the dominant presence at the Wells Fargo Center on Tuesday night, but Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota got on stage just before him. Welcome, perhaps, to the presidential race of 2020 or 2024. Whether Hillary Clinton wins or loses in November, Democrats with White House ambitions are PHILADELPHIA

wise to use their party’s convention to boost their national profile, much as a little-known state senator from Illinois named Barack Obama did in 2004. Many of those who might run for president after the Clinton era ends were at the convention — often speaking when no one was watching, leading state delegations or hopscotching between breakfasts and events. It’s a rite of passage, just as it was for Obama and Bill Clinton. “Speaking at the convention is like checking off a box on the list of things you should do if you want to move up,” says Jennifer Duffy, senior editor at The Cook Political Report, which tracks state and national races. Until Obama electrified the Boston convention that nominated John Kerry, she recalls, “no one had any idea who this guy was.” Before lightning strikes for the likes of Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo or Senate candidate

Katie McGinty of Pennsylvania, the first tier of potential presidential candidates must shake out during the next few years.

“Speaking at the convention is like checking off a box on the list of things you should do if you want to move up.” Jennifer Duffy, “The Cook Political Report”

That list begins with vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine, whose political résumé includes stints as a U.S. senator, Virginia governor, Richmond mayor and chairman of the Democratic National Committee. At 58, with a moderate record on economic and foreign policy but a liberal

one on social issues, Kaine is perfectly positioned to accept the party’s mantle of leadership — particularly after he goes through the rigors of this fall’s national campaign. “That’s an experience that would automatically put him on the board,” says Stuart Rothenberg, a political analyst who publishes The Rothenberg & Gonzales Political Report. Behind Kaine, those most often mentioned as possible presidential candidates include: uSen. Booker of New Jersey, a young African-American firebrand with a huge following among Millennials on social media. At 47, the former Newark mayor can afford to wait — but history indicates his time to strike may be sooner rather than later. uNew York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, 58, is the son of former governor Mario Cuomo and has compiled a liberal record on so-

cial issues in the Empire State. His problem could be an ethics scandal that has resulted in indictments of state Senate and Assembly leaders. uSen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts was the darling of the party’s left wing before Sanders. Warren is 67 and would be in her 70s when the next race for the White House is run. uCalifornia Attorney General Kamala Harris, 51, is the favorite to win a U.S. Senate seat in November. Also mentioned as a potential Supreme Court nominee, Harris checks more boxes than anyone else — African American, Asian American and female. Finalists to be Clinton’s running mate, which puts them on the map, included Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper. One of her opponents for the nomination, former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley, could wage a comeback.

Florida health officials are going door to door to investigate two more Zika infections that may have been spread by local mosquitoes, bringing the total number of suspected local cases to four. Although officials haven’t yet confirmed how the infections were contracted, the spread of Zika among native mosquitoes would be a major change in the course of the disease in the continental U.S., where all cases until now have been linked to travel to Zika-affected regions. The four Florida cases under investigation are in Broward or Miami-Dade counties, according to the state health department. Because of the risk of a local Zika outbreak, the Food and Drug Administration has asked all blood donation centers in Miami-Dade, Broward and surrounding areas to stop accepting blood donations until the blood can be tested for the virus. Blood collection centers across the country also shouldn’t accept any blood donations from people who have traveled to Miami-Dade and Broward counties within the past four weeks, the FDA added.

Google’s parent tops estimates, rises 4% in extended trading Jessica Guynn @jguynn USA TODAY

Robust advertising growth propelled Alphabet to a street-beating quarter as the Google parent company showed it’s grabbing the attention and budgets of users and advertisers alike as they shift to mobile devices from desktop computers. SAN FRANCISCO

MONEYLINE DOLLAR GENERAL BUYS 41 WALMART EXPRESS STORES Dollar General is taking advantage of Walmart’s castoffs to grow its massive fleet of stores. The company said Wednesday that it bought 41 former Walmart Express stores and plans to relocate 40 existing Dollar General stores — plus open one new store — to the new sites by October. Both Walmart and Dollar General declined to comment further. Walmart did an about-face on its strategy to compete with the growing dollar store segment when it announced in January that it would close its 102 “Express” format stores to focus more on its core supercenters. FORD MOTOR STOCK DROPS ON LOWER PROFIT Ford earned $2 billion in the second quarter of this year, down 9% from a year earlier, as the long-running boom in U.S. vehicle sales showed signs of cooling. On a per-share basis, Ford earned 52 cents. That fell short of Wall Street expectations, which averaged 60 cents a share among 14 analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters. Disheartened investors drove Ford shares down 8.1% Thursday, closing at $12.71.

Shares gained more than 4% in extended trading after topping Wall Street estimates. Alphabet reported second-quarter earnings of $8.42 a share on revenue of $21.5 billion. Wall Street expected earnings of $8.04 a share on $20.76 billion in revenue. Before Thursday’s results, Alphabet had missed Wall Street consensus estimates in eight of the past 12 quarters. The earnings landed one day after Google rival Facebook reported a blow-out quarter. What’s clicking for Google? Mobile, BGC Financial analyst Colin Gillis says. Advertisers pay less for each click on mobile ads

than they do on desktop computers but the growing number of clicks on mobile ads is beginning to make up for that. Cost per click was down 7% compared with the 6% analysts expected. Paid clicks were up 29% year over year compared with the 27% analysts expected. “Marketers are flooding into mobile because they are seeing a more effective return. The clicks are cheaper and they are starting to work,” Gillis said. “You are seeing the declines in cost per clicks abating. And we are going to get to a spot where both levers, paid clicks and cost per clicks turn

businesses such as enterprise cloud, Play Store, and hardware sales, were $2.17 billion, up 33%. Alphabet’s “other bets,” businesses outside of Google, brought in $185 million in sales in the second quarter but losses widened to $859 million. A year ago, other bets such as home automation maker Nest and speedy Internet provider Google Fiber reported $75 million in revenue and operating losses of $574 million. “We continue to invest responsibly in support of our many compelling opportunities,” Alphabet’s finance chief Ruth Porat said in a written statement.

Yellow flags are as plentiful on Wall Street as yellow beach umbrellas along the U.S. coastline. Another yellow flag is August’s recent reputation as a bad month for stocks, with the S&P 500 finishing lower four of the past six years, with declines often steep. Recent rumblings of a coming interest rate hike also could dent investor sentiment. There’s a risk Wall Street will be caught off guard by an earlier-than-expected rate increase from the Federal Reserve. In a statement Wednesday, the Fed said, “Near-term risks to the economic outlook have diminished.” That opened the door to a hike as early as September, analysts warn. “The rally now is being sup-

ported by one prop — no Fed tightening,” says Nick Sargen, senior investment adviser at Fort Washington Investment Advisors. “If the Fed moves later this year, I would expect a noticeable correction (or stock decline).” Another potential headwind: Corporate earnings season, which is hitting its busiest and most important period. “The real earnings test is yet to come for stocks,” she says, adding investor optimism is getting more bullish and nearing levels that in the past have signaled market tops. Bianco warns stocks could suffer a dip of 5% to 9% in the runup to the presidential election due to risks related to corporate earnings and rising valuations. The S&P 500 is trading at 18.3 times its trailing 12-month earnings, the highest level since November 2004, according to Burt White, chief investment officer at LPL Financial. “Stock market corrections tend to be more painful when they come at higher valuations,” White noted in a report, adding that most bull markets since World War II have ended at P-E levels similar to today’s.

None of the strategists are calling for a steep decline or the end of the seven-year bull market. But they are saying a pause is possible. Most are advising clients to buy on any dip, as they expect stocks to move higher after any drop. Lee sees the S&P 500 gaining 8% to 10% in the second half of 2016, but admits he’s “scared about August.” While new highs after a wait of a year or more tend to be bullish, historical performance data show the S&P 500 “tends to see a pause over the next month” after hitting a new peak, Lee says. After 13 new peaks after year-long droughts since 1954, the S&P 500 was up an average of 1% a month later vs. gains of 4% three months later and 12% returns a year later. Also worrying Lee is the fact normally placid bonds currently are more volatile than stocks. That uncommon relationship — which Lee says signals investor “complacency” — has proved to be a “short-term negative” for stocks, with the S&P 500 declining 1.3%, on average, and down 68% of the time, a month later after similar periods.

SAN FRANCISCO Amazon said late Thursday strong demand for its e-commerce services and cloud business lifted secondquarter sales, helping it breeze past Wall Street estimates and fueling its fifth consecutive quarterly profit. Sales rose 31% to $30.4 billion. Net income surged to $857 million, or $1.78 a share, up a whopping nine times from a year ago. Profits hadn’t been a key focus for the company, even years after its late 1990s IPO, as it instead opted to plow cash into new businesses. While operating margins are

still thin, profitability is becoming a habit. Analysts polled by S&P Global Market Intelligence forecast the company would report revenue of $29 billion, with adjusted earnings per share of $1.12, and investors were primed for an even bigger rise after strong results in the past quarter. For the current quarter, Amazon forecast sales between $31.0 billion and $33.5 billion, an increase of 22% and 32% compared with third quarter 2015. Analysts were expecting $31.7 billion. The Seattle-based e-commerce company is showing shareholders it’s continuing to find new areas to grow, such as through launching Prime Day, said Christian Magoon, CEO of Amplify Invest-

ments, which tracks companies generating at least 70% of their revenue from online retail transactions. This month, at one of the slowest times of the year for retailers, Amazon held its second annual Prime Day, a sales day for members of its free shipping and entertainment service. Prime Day orders rose 50% in the U.S. com-

pared to 2015, Amazon said. Results weren’t reflected in Thursday’s financial statements, which were for the three months ended June 30. Amazon shares were up 2% after hours. Amazon’s cloud computing service, Amazon Web Services, has been a driver of recent growth, though it’s still a small portion of sales. AWS earned $718 million in profit on $2.89 billion in sales, a 58% increase. That’s a slight cooling in growth from the first quarter, when the cloud computing unit’s revenue increased 64% year over year. “The fact they beat is good, but they did not beat by a ton,” Magoon said.

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

Wall Street gets its first look at second-quarter U.S. economic growth Friday after weak — and disappointing — readings the past two quarters that raised concerns about a recession. The good news is Wall Street consensus is calling for GDP growth in the April-thru-June quarter to come in at a healthy clip of 2.6%, well above the anemic growth of 1.1% in the first quarter of the year and 1.4% in the final quarter of 2015. But Brad McMillan, chief investment officer for Commonwealth Financial Network, thinks consensus is a tad high and ticks off a few reasons why the actual growth figure might come in weaker than forecast.

The robust economic rebound, he says, relies on strong consumer spending, which has slowed somewhat based on recent data, he says. A strong GDP number also depends on solid gains in exports, which could be negatively impacted by a stronger dollar late in the quarter and ongoing economic problems abroad. McMillan says the best outcome for stocks would be if the July jobs number comes in near consensus and confirms the economy’s rebound since the first quarter, which the Federal Reserve outlined Wednesday in its policy statement. “A surprise to the downside would call the recent good news into question and probably provoke some selling,” McMillan says. “A surprise to the upside would also cause concern, in that it would raise the chances of a Fed rate increase in September.”

S&P’s broader diversification carries weight

Q: What’s better, the Dow or S&P 500? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Large U.S. stocks are a cornerstone of most investors’ portfolios. If you’re looking to add this asset class to your portfolio, it’s tough to beat the Standard & Poor’s 500 for several reasons. Both the Dow Jones industrial average and S&P 500 attempt to do the same basic thing: be a gauge of large U.S. stocks. The Dow is a storied measure that has tracked the market for more than 100 years. It is filled with 30 of the bluest of the blue-chip stocks, ranging from JP Morgan Chase to Walt Disney. When someone asks you how the market is doing, they’re probably assuming you’ll tell them what the Dow did. But when it comes to being the benchmark for money, the S&P 500 usually wins out. Roughly $7.8 trillion in investments are benchmarked to the S&P 500. Like the Dow, the S&P 500 is a measure of large U.S. stocks. But the S&P 500 has advantages for investors. The S&P 500 contains 500 stocks, giving it a broader diversification. The S&P 500 gives companies more weight in the index’ calculation based on their float, or value of shares available to be invested. The Dow, on the other hand, gives greater weights to companies with higher per-share stock prices. There also are more ETFs and mutual funds connected with the S&P 500, meaning they’re more readily available and often have lower fees.

Payments company Square will let merchants schedule deposits Edward C. Baig @edbaig USA TODAY

It hasn’t been quite a full year since Square offered a service to merchants in which they could access money from their sales transactions instantly. Thursday, the digital payments company announced it is building on this so-called Instant Deposit feature by letting merchants schedule in advance when money will show up in their bank accounts, even on weekends, holidays or the middle of the night. NEW YORK

ANDREW GOMBERT, EPA

Jack Dorsey, co-founder and CEO of Twitter, also is CEO of Square.

For restaurateurs, bartenders, hairdressers and others whose businesses peak on a Saturday, say, that’s potentially a big deal and one Square claims no com-

petitor has been able to match. “I walk a razor’s edge financially,” says Eden Myles, owner of Denver-based Five Points Pizza and a participant in the Scheduled Deposit beta. “In the first six months (of starting a business) when you have no working capital, every day is life and death.” Merchants who want such flexibility pay a 1% fee, which is instantly applied to the total deposit amount of funds they receive from making a sale after the regular fee they pay Square, typically 2.75%, has already been deducted. Otherwise money is deposited on the next business

day. (Square also makes longerterm loans to merchants through its Square Capital program.) Depending on the type of Square reader hardware a merchant has, a seller can accept all kinds of payment methods: magnetic stripe cards, chip cards or payments through the likes of Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and Android Pay. Square says sellers can jump in or out of either the Scheduled Deposit or Instant Deposit program whenever they want, which they can request by choosing the option in their online Square Dashboard. Square’s stock price has been

languishing since it went public in November at $11.20 a share. Thursday, it closed at $10.12. The company, co-founded and run by Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, reports quarterly earnings next week. Since August, when Instant Deposit launched, Square sellers have completed more than 2 million deposits instantly, with the merchants choosing to take advantage of the program more than doubling since the beginning of this year. Square says sellers who have been part of the Scheduled Deposit beta make 30% larger deposits on average than those who do so instantly.

Chicken chain sets sights on Lawrence K

eep your eyes open and your wet wipes handy. There’s rumblings of yet another fast-food chicken chain coming to Lawrence. I’m hearing that the chain Slim Chickens is close to signing a deal to locate in west Lawrence. I hear the restaurant hopes to locate in the former spot of — wait for it — Kentucky Fried Chicken near Sixth and Wakarusa. If you think it is odd that one chicken

restaurant is replacing another, don’t worry. Slim’s is not from Kentucky — it is from Arkansas — and it doesn’t have a colonel, either. Instead, its logo appears to have a fedorawearing bear that I think is holding a guitar. I’ll investigate that more, if the company indeed comes to town. It is important to note that I haven’t received any official word from the company yet, so we’ll have to wait and see if the deal gets finalized. But there seems to be magic in the air in Lawrence when it comes to completing chicken deals. In case you have forgotten, here’s a list of some of the recent developments: a new Buffalo Wild Wings, now open on south Iowa Street; a Chick-fil-A, now

I had reported earlier that the sandwich chain Schlotzsky’s was considering the former KFC location, along with others, to make a return to Lawrence. I’ll have to check with the Schlotzsky’s folks to find out their latest plans for Lawrence, but I don’t think this derails them. The Schlotzsky’s official I talked with told me they were facing competition for the Sixth and Wakarusa space, and thus were looking at other Lawrence locations too.

Pending home sales up slightly in June Associated Press

Washington — The number of Americans who signed contracts to buy homes crept up in June, a possible indication that the recent growth in real estate sales is still on track. The National Association of Realtors said Wednesday that its seasonally adjusted pending home sales index rose 0.2 percent last month to 111, regaining some ground after a dip in May. The index of upcoming sales improved 1 percent from a year ago, as buyer demand remains strong even though there are fewer properties being listed for sale. Pending sales contracts are a barometer of future purchases. A sale is typically completed a month or two after a contract is signed. The number of signed contracts Completed sales of existing homes rose 1.1 percent in June

to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.57 million, the best pace since February 2007, the Realtors reported last week. Even as demand has increased, the number of listings on the market has fallen over the past year. Many homeowners are recovering equity that disappeared after the housing bubble began to burst almost a decade ago. Even though prices are pulling closer to their peaks, these homeowners would be unable to generate enough of a profit from a sale to pay for the expense of purchasing a new home. The number of listings has fallen 5.8 percent from a year ago to 2.12 million, possibly limiting how much sales can continue to increase. The tight supplies have fed into rising home values. The median home sales price has risen 4.8 percent from a year ago to $247,700 in June. That increase is roughly double the pace of average hourly wage gains.

THE NUMBER OF PENDING HOME SALE CONTRACTS, WHICH SERVES AS A BAROMETER OF FUTURE PURCHASES, rose 0.2 percent last month, which suggests that the recent growth in real estate sales will continue.

Mortgage rates edge up for second straight week Associated Press

Washington — Long-term U.S. mortgage rates edged higher this week for a second straight week. They still are near historically low levels to encourage potential homebuyers. Mortgage giant Freddie Mac said Thursday the average for the benchmark 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rose to 3.48 percent from 3.45 percent last week. The average rate is down sharply from 3.98 percent a year ago. The 15-year fixed mortgage rate increased to 2.78 percent

from 2.75 percent last week. The low rates, along with a solid job market, have been bolstering the housing market as it recovers from the bust that began nine years ago. Americans bought new homes in June at the fastest pace in more than eight years, the Commerce Department reported Tuesday. New-home sales rose 3.5 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted rate of 592,000, the best level since February 2008. Purchases of new homes have climbed 10.1 percent year-to-date, despite volatile sales on a monthly basis.

The low rates, along with a solid job market, have been bolstering the housing market as it recovers from the bust that began nine years ago.

Still, the U.S. homeownership rate fell in the second quarter to match the lowest level on record in 1965, the year the U.S. Census Bureau started publishing the figures, according to Census data issued Thursday. The homeownership rate in the April-June period was 62.9 percent, down 0.5 percent-

age point from 63.4 percent in the second quarter of 2015. Affordability remains a problem and the potential for new-home sales to regain their historic average sales rate of 650,000 could be limited. To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie

Homeownership rate matches a 51-year low Washington (ap) — The proportion of U.S. households that own homes has matched its lowest level in 51 years — evidence that rising property prices, high rents and stagnant pay have made it hard for many to buy. Just 62.9 percent of households owned a home in the April-June quarter this year, a decrease from 63.4 percent 12 months ago, the Census Bureau said Thursday. The share of homeowners now equals the rate in 1965, when the census began tracking the data. The trend appears most pronounced among millennial households,

ages 18 to 34, many of whom are straining under the weight of rising apartment rents and heavy student debt. Their homeownership rate fell 0.7 percentage point over the past year to 34.1 percent. That decline may reflect, in part, more young adults leaving their parents’ homes for rental apartments. The overall decline appears to be due largely to the increased formation of rental households, said Ralph McLaughlin, chief economist at the real estate site Trulia. McLaughlin cautioned, though, that the decrease in homeownership from a

year ago was not statistically significant. America added nearly a million households over the past year and all of them were renters. Home ownership has declined even as the housing market has been recovering from the 2007 bust that triggered the Great Recession. Ownership peaked at 69.2 percent at the end of 2004. Home prices have been steadily outpacing gains in average earnings. This has made it harder for first-time buyers to save for down payments, thereby delaying their ability to purchase a home.

getting better and elevating the program to better days. One final reminder: This was not a list of the 25 best players on this year’s team. That would have been much easier to pinpoint and, although still key, would not exactly have demonstrated the full value that each player has in regard to the 2016 season. This is a list of the 25 players who need to have strong seasons in order for the Jayhawks to have a chance to compete. Matt Tait and I came up with the list by each making our own list of 25 and then combining the results. We did the same thing for the last two years, but the amount of fresh faces made this list much tougher to put together. In case you missed some, visit KUSports. com for a complete look at the list of 25.

With August right around the corner and another football season quickly coming, we’ve reached the top spot in our summer series of the most crucial Jayhawks for the 2016 season. In all, the series featured 13 offensive players and 12 defensive players, lending support to the idea that the Jayhawks have work to do on both sides of the line of scrimmage if they want to become more competitive in the Big 12 and erase the memories of last year’s winless season. The No. 1 player on our list represents exactly what second-year coach David Beaty and company are going for — overlooked talent with a ton of potential and extreme dedication to

A school doesn’t win 12 consecutive Big 12 basketball titles without at least a little variance in relative strengths and weaknesses. Take the case of Kansas and rebounding. In the first two seasons of the streak, in conference games only, KU ranked fifth in rebounding margin (+2.1) in 2004-05, behind Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and Nebraska, and third (+5.9, behind Texas and Oklahoma) in 2005-06. Now fast-forward to the most recent two seasons of the streak. The Jayhawks finished behind West Virginia and Baylor with a rebounding margin of +3.7 this past season, fourth the season before that with a streak-low +1.2, behind Baylor, Texas and West Virginia. So winning the Big 12 does not require winning the battle of the boards on a nightly basis, but it doesn’t hurt, either. The best team during the streak, the 2007-08 national champions who went 37-3 and prevailed in the only Final Four in history that featured all No. 1 seeds, had the greatest rebounding margin (+10.2) of any Big 12 team during KU’s active conference championship streak. The year before that, Kansas outrebounded Big 12 opponents by an average of 9.2 per game, starting a streak of eight seasons on top of the league in that statistical category. One-third of the titles came in years Kansas didn’t lead the league in rebounding, so it’s obviously not a must, but on paper, at least, it looks as if the Jayhawks will rebound better this season than in the past two. The starting backcourt returns, which means Frank Mason III and Devonté Graham are a year older and stronger. Mason in particular has added muscle, which should enable him better to withstand the pounding his body takes. Starting center Landen Lucas grows stronger every year and wiser in terms of knowing how to play physically without drawing whistles. Even if the three returning starters don’t grow significantly as rebounders, it still leaves room for major improvement for the team as a whole.

Troy Brown, a 6-foot-6 senior combo guard from Centennial High in Las Vegas who is ranked No. 10 in the recruiting Class of 2017 by Rivals.com, on Thursday cut his list of prospective colleges to eight. They are: Kansas University, Oregon, Arizona, Ohio State, Alabama, Cal, Nevada-Las Vegas and Georgetown. “I’m really cool with the coaching staff at Kansas,” Brown told JayhawkSlant. com on Thursday, his 17th birthday. “I like the way coach (Bill) Self is hard on his players and how he expects better out of them. Coach Self helps develop his players and gets them to the league. “I feel like that is something I need from a coach,” added Brown, who averaged 19 points, 9.0 rebounds and 6.0 assists last season for Centennial. “I really like the school and I’ve been on campus multiple times, because of my sister (Jada, member of the women’s team), and just being around the players and stuff like that, I just really like Kansas.” Brown this summer was a member of the United States’ gold-medal-winning Under 17 FIBA World championship team. Brown would like to play at the same college as his Las Vegas Prospects AAU teammate Charles O’Bannon Jr., a 6-6 shooting guard from Las Vegas Bishop Gorman, who has a list of KU, Arizona, Oregon and UNLV. “It’s hard to find a school that fits everything for both players,” Brown told ESPN. com. “Right now it’s just talk.”

Kansas University athletic director Sheahon Zenger’s hiring of former KU baseball standout Matt Baty to lead the Williams Education Fund indirectly represents one of the strongest public commitments to upgrading Memorial Stadium. In addition to bringing Baty back to KU, Zenger on Thursday announced a national search for a footballspecific fundraiser. “The main thing we’re looking for with this is somebody who wakes up at 6 in the morning thinking about football fundraising and goes to bed at midnight thinking about it just like I

East Carolina’s athletic department social media hashtag is “ECUndaunted.” The Pirates, for sure, are undaunted when it comes to their approach to pursuing membership in the Big 12. You can throw in unabashed and uncanny, too. The school is conducting a campaign on its social media platforms to tout the reasons it deserves strong consideration. Associate athletic director for external operations Shelley Binegar is coordinating the ongoing effort that began last week when Big 12 presidents directed Commissioner Bob Bowlsby to study expansion. Fellow American Athletic Conference schools Cincinnati, Houston, Memphis, UCF, UConn and Tulane also are in the discussion of candidates if the 10-team Big 12 expands. If those schools have voiced interest, East Carolina has all but shouted its desire. Among the Pirates’ messages: ECU leads the AAC in number of donors and donations, average football attendance over the last five years is highest among Group of Five members, and ECU can deliver a large television market. ECU also pointed out it would make an “excellent travel partner” with West Virginia. “If we do nothing and we don’t get in, then we have ourselves to blame,” Binegar said Thursday. “If we do everything we can and we don’t get in, then we’ll feel like we’ve done everything we could. We’re just not willing to do less. It’s important for our fans, for our student-athletes, coaches, community and state to say, ‘You know what, we’re going to make a push at this.’ To be honest, we’re not going to apologize about it. We think we deserve to be in. So why not be a little bit assertive in showing off our good points?” Binegar acknowledged that East Carolina is fueled by the hope of garnering the prestige and big money that would come from being in a Power Five conference. Chancellor Cecil Staton wrote a letter to Bowlsby on Tuesday to express ECU’s interest. North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory and state Attorney General Roy Cooper also wrote letters of support. American Commissioner Michael Aresco said it’s a sign of the conference’s strength that so many of its members would be considered possibilities if the Big 12 expanded. He said there are no hard feelings. “They’re doing what they feel they need to do,” Aresco said. “We’re all friends, and we still will be when this is over. We all understand the pressures they’re under. And I think they’ve appreciated that I’m sensitive to that.” Binegar said she knows there is a fine line East Carolina is walking in so boldly proclaiming it wants to change conferences. She said the American has been good for the Pirates. “It doesn’t mean ‘I don’t like you guys,’” she said. “You have to look out for what’s best for your program, university, city, state. What would be best would be going to the Big 12 for us. If we don’t get the offer, we’re very happy where we are. We don’t want to say we don’t want the offer. We want them to know we would be interested and that we would really want that. “You don’t get what you don’t ask for, so you might as well ask for it. If the answer’s no, it’s no, and you move on. If there’s a shot at it being a yes, you have to take the shot.”

IN THIS DEC. 31, 2015, FILE PHOTO, CLEMSON QUARTERBACK DESHAUN WATSON poses with the Orange Bowl trophy following a college football semifinal playoff game against Oklahoma in Miami Gardens, Fla.

CFP abandons schedule of semifinals on Dec. 31 The Associated Press

The College Football Playoff has abandoned a plan to play most of its semifinals on New Year’s Eves after television ratings tumbled last year, moving the dates of future games to ensure they will be played either on a weekend or a holiday. The changes will start with the 2018 season. The TV ratings for last year’s semifinal games played on Thursday, Dec. 31, dropped 36 percent from the semifinals played the season before on New Year’s Day. This season’s semifinals are still set for Saturday, Dec. 31. Next season’s playoff is scheduled to be back on Jan. 1. In 2018, the games initially scheduled to be played on New Year’s Eve will now be played Saturday, Dec. 29. The 2019 games will move to Saturday, Dec. 28. The other seasons affected by the change are 2024, when the semifinals will be moved to Saturday, Dec. 28, and 2025, when the games will be played on Saturday, Dec. 27. “We had a healthy discussion with a lot of people who love college football and we concluded that making these changes would be the right

thing to do for our fans,” College Football Playoff Executive Director Bill Hancock said in a statement. In a phone interview with the AP, Hancock said after looking at data provided by ESPN that considered all the factors that contributed to the drop in ratings, such as the lopsided scores and participating teams, it was clear the single greatest factor was when the games were played. Hancock said several options for altering the schedule were discussed, including giving the College Football Playoff a permanent home on New Year’s Day, but that didn’t get far. “It was clear from the get go that our group wanted to honor the traditions of the game, including the Rose Bowl, including the Sugar Bowl getting back to New Year’s Day, which they really cherish,” Hancock said. “That one didn’t stay on the table for long.” Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany, whose conference is partners with the Rose Bowl along with the Pac-12, said earlier this week the Rose Bowl would not be giving up its traditional New Year’s Day afternoon time slot. The Big 12 and Southeastern Conference now have a similar partnership

with the Sugar Bowl and have locked up the time slot after the Rose Bowl. Hancock said it was important to keep the semifinals in what he called the holiday period between Christmas and New Year’s Day because it best allows fans to travel to the games. ESPN’s Burke Magnus, executive vice president, programming and scheduling, said the network, which is paying about $470 million annually for the media rights to College Football Playoff, was pleased with the decision. “They did engage in a really thoughtful analysis of what could make the CFP more fan friendly and ultimately they got to the right place, which we’re happy about,” Magnus said. Magnus said ESPN was not directly involved in the decision nor did it exert any pressure on the CFP to change its schedule. He said there was also no pressure from advertisers. “No, it never went anywhere near that kind of conversation,” Magnus said in a phone interview. “There was never any ultimatum’s issued.” The first College Football Playoff set ratings records for ESPN on New Year’s Day 2015.

Royals’ Hochevar placed on 15-day DL

Arsenal edges MLS All-Stars

Tour record of 58 matched in Web.com

Arlington, Texas — Kansas City Royals reliever Luke Hochevar has been placed on the 15-day disabled list. The Royals made the move before Thursday night’s game at Texas and said the right-hander has symptoms of thoracic outlet syndrome. That is a condition when blood vessels or nerves between the collarbone and first rib become compressed and can cause pain in the shoulder and neck. Kansas City recalled righthander Brooks Pounders from Triple-A Omaha. The DL move was retroactive to Monday, the day after Hochevar took the loss in a 2-1 home defeat to the Rangers. He gave up a tiebreaking homer to the first batter he faced, Delino DeShields, leading off the seventh. Hochevar is 2-3 with a 3.86 ERA in 40 appearances this season.

San Jose, Calif. — Chuba Akpom scored the deciding goal in the 87th minute from about four yards out on a cross from the left side by Nacho Monreal, and Arsenal topped the MLS All-Stars, 2-1, in the Major League Soccer All-Star Game on Thursday. Once Arsenal’s young substitutes got going after entering midway through the second half, the scoring chances came. Moments before halftime, Montreal’s Didier Drogba scored on his third try following two deflections in one quick sequence for MLS to notch it at 1. Drogba’s first attempt ricocheted off goalkeeper Petr Cech then the next off Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain before he converted with a shot to the right upper corner of the net in the second minute of stoppage time in the first half. Giovani dos Santos jumped on Drogba’s back to celebrate.

Hayward, Calif. — Stephan Jaeger shot a 12-under 58 on Thursday in the Web.com Tour’s Ellie Mae Classic to match the lowest score in major-tour play. The 27-year-old German player finished the round with a birdie on the par-5 18th at TPC Stonebrae. Japan’s Ryo Ishikawa also shot a 12-under 58 to win the 2010 Crowns on the Japan Tour. Former Kansas University golfer Chris Thompson shot a 1-over 71 and was tied for 100th place. Jaeger broke the Web.com Tour record of 59 held by Notah Begay III, Doug Dunakey, Jason Gore, Will Wilcox and Russell Knox. Six players have shot 59 in official PGA Tour events. Jaeger played both nines in 6-under 29. He birdied Nos. 11, 13-17 on his opening nine, and Nos. 1-2, 4-6 and 9 on his second nine.

Hamels, Texas edge K.C. Arlington, Texas (ap) — Cole Hamels provided another reminder of what an ace means to a beleaguered starting rotation. Hamels (12-2) allowed two runs and six hits in eight innings, matching his longest start of the season, to help the Texas Rangers beat the Kansas City Royals 3-2 Thursday night. Hamels’ 123 pitches were 10 more than his previous high for the year. He didn’t allow an earned run in his previous two starts, totaling 131⁄3 innings. “It’s always great when you’re able to go out there, you’re doing well and you’re having non-stressful innings and

they’re pretty quick,” the 32-year-old Hamels said. “You’re able to keep going out there, keep a good rhythm, a good pace.” Texas manager Jeff Banister said: “He’s our front-end guy. I mean, he’s our ace. He’s the guy that sits in the front of that rotation.” The Rangers managed only four hits off Yordano Ventura (6-9) — including three home runs. Mitch Moreland’s second of the game broke a 2-2 tie in the eighth inning. Rougned Odor also went deep. Sam Dyson earned his 21st save in 23 opportunities, stranding the tying run at third base after walking the leadoff batter in the ninth.

Armstrong

An active, 6-foot-4, 241-pound NFL prospect, Armstrong batted three passes against Texas. It’s easy to see why Michigan State, Cal and several other schools from big conferences offered him a scholarship. He chose Kansas, a nice morale boost for the coaching staff. A big sophomore season from Armstrong would spread feel-good vibes throughout the program.

Bowen was convinced this was a player the Jayhawks needed to land. When Armstrong committed, Bowen was more excited about landing him than any other member of the Class of 2015. Nothing about the way Armstrong competed as a part-time, undersized true freshman changed Bowen’s mind. Armstrong added 17 pounds and didn’t lose a step during a committed offseason and in so doing kept the coaching staff’s excitement about his potential on an upward trend. Armstrong, talented enough to post the first double-digit, single-season sack total since James Holt had 10 in 2008, before his four years are up shapes up as the team’s most crucial player. If he can harass quarterbacks on a consistent basis and can shed blockers quickly enough to keep ballcarriers from running wild on the outside, that can go a long way toward Kansas significantly improving a defense that statistically was the worst in the Football Bowl Subdivision in 2015. Armstrong started the final five games of his true freshman season and ranked second to Ben Goodman with 3.5 sacks. Using his quickness to get around Oklahoma’s massive blockers, Armstrong totaled six tackles and two sacks against the mighty Sooners.

landscape or Zenger will be a key part of the search, which currently has no timeline. Chief among the challenges that await the new hire is the current status of the football program, which is rebuilding from one of the worst six-year stretches in school history. That said, Zenger believes this hire could represent the first step of momentum that he has been waiting for from the football program. The next step, of course, would be winning, but the creation of this position, which Zenger said will be the first of its kind at KU, will allow KU to be even more patient while second-year coach David Beaty and his staff continue to raise the standards of the football program on and off the field. “This is still a five-year process,” Zenger said of future Memorial Stadium renovations. “But this is a direct reflection of the fact that this is the major project for our athletic department for the next

five years. And in cases like this, it’s not uncommon for an endowment association, university foundation or athletic department to hire someone to lead a strategic effort for a project of this magnitude.” Baty, whose official title will be Associate Athletics Director, Williams Education Fund, Marketing & Sales, comes to KU from his role as general manager of the Wichita Sports Forum, an approximately 148,000-squarefoot multi-purpose facility with a staff of 85. Prior to that, the 2006 KU graduate served as a vice-president, treasury management, at Equity Bank in Wichita and worked in development at Wichita State University after starting his career in marketing at KU. He replaces former KU linebacker Banks Floodman, who left in June after three years of leading the Williams Fund. “I am deeply honored to come back to where my love for college athletics began as a studentathlete,” Baty said in a news release. “It was a privilege to wear Kansas across my chest as a student-athlete, and I will carry on that very same pride in my new role.”

The AL West-leading Rangers are 5-8 since the All-Star break, the 10game lead of late June now at three. The only wins by Texas starters during that stretch are from Hamels. He’s 3-0 since then with a 0.84 ERA, an opponents’ batting average of .190 and 23 strikeouts against four walks. The game was a pitching rematch of the Rangers’ 7-4 win in Kansas City last Saturday. Hamels allowed one unearned run over 51⁄3 innings and also got that win. Ventura was the loser then, giving up three runs in five innings. “You think you know what he’s got,” said Eric Hosmer, who went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts. “He

did a good job of mixing in a lot more offspeed pitches.” Hamels will get an extra day’s rest before his next start. Banister said that and recent struggled by Texas’ bullpen helped determine that Hamels, at 96 pitches through seven innings, would go out again for the eighth. Catcher Robinson Chirinos said he asked Hamels after the seventh how he felt. “He’s like, ‘Let’s go,’” Chirinos said. “He deserved that win. He was outstanding.” Hamels’ 12 strikeouts equaled his Texas high, set last September vs. Seattle. His career high — set with Philadelphia — is 15.

JIMMY WALKER LINES UP A PUTT on the first hole of the first round of the PGA Championship on Thursday at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, N.J.

Walker shoots 65 to open stifling PGA Springfield, N.J. (ap) — A drab year for Jimmy Walker took a turn for the worse two weeks ago at the British Open, when he stayed in what was dubbed the “frat house” at Royal Troon with Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler, Justin Thomas, Jason Dufner and Zach Johnson. Walker was the only one to miss the cut. He still stayed the weekend. He just stayed away from the golf course and his clubs. How does one kill time in such a small Scottish town? “When the first guy comes back and he’s ready for a cocktail, you have one,” Walker said. Thursday in the PGA Championship, the drinks were on Walker. In the final major of the year, Walker finally saw enough putts to fall at Baltusrol that he matched his low score in a major with a 5-under 65 and wound up leading a major for the first time in his career. Just like that, a stale year came to life. Walker had a oneshot lead over two-time major champion Martin Kaymer, Emiliano Grillo and Ross Fisher. And for Henrik Stenson, a great year might get even better. Coming off his record performance at the British Open, the Swede had three birdies on the back nine as the sweltering heat gave way to dark clouds and 20 mph gusts. That gave him a 67, leaving him two shots behind. Stenson is trying to join Ben Hogan in 1953 as the only players to win back-to-back majors at age 40. “It’s going to be a great season for me,” Stenson said. “But at the same

Woodland struggles to 73 at PGA Championship J-W Staff Reports

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland had a rough first round Thursday at the PGA Championship. Woodland opened with a bogey as part of his round of 3-over 73. He added a double time, I want to give myself a chance to try to make it the best season.” It wasn’t the best of times for Dustin Johnson or Rory McIlroy. Johnson, the U.S. Open champion with a chance to go to No. 1 in the world, was in the trees, in the water and couldn’t get out of a bunker. He managed only one birdie in a round of 77 that wasn’t enough to beat 15 of the club pros at Baltusrol. He wasn’t alone in his misery. McIlroy took 35 putts and didn’t make a single birdie in his round of 74 that left him so frustrated that he returned to Baltusrol late in the day with only his putter. Walker’s year has been so mediocre that he has finished within five shots of the winner only once this year, at Torrey Pines. He is on the verge of falling out of the top 50 in the world ranking and hasn’t given as much thought to Ryder Cup with qualifying a month away from ending. “I feel like all year it’s just been real stale and stagnant,” Walker said. “It’s just ebbs and flows of golf. Just haven’t been scoring. ... It’s frustrating. I would have loved to have had a better year

bogey on No. 7 and another bogey on No. 10 — all par-4 holes — before recording birdies on Nos. 12 and 13. He double-bogeyed the par-4 14th hole, bogeyed the par-3 16th, but eagled the par-5 No. 18. He was in a tie for 107th. than I’ve had so far to this point, but I know there’s always time to play well at the end of the year.” Kaymer had the best score in the afternoon, when the blend of poa annua and bent grass on the Baltusrol greens became a little more difficult to navigate. Baltusrol still allowed for good scoring. Twenty players were at 68 or better, a list that included defending champion Jason Day. Day played in the morning group with McIlroy and Phil Mickelson, and he was the only player without much stress. Mickelson, just 11 days after that magnificent duel with Stenson at Royal Troon, was 4 over through 11 holes when he rallied with a trio of birdies late in his round to salvage a 71. “It’s not the start I wanted. It’s not indicative of how I’m playing,” he said. “But I’m back to where tomorrow, if I play the way I’ve been playing, I should be OK.” Grillo had a chance to at least join Walker in the lead when he was at 4 under with the final two holes par 5s. He made par on both.

team’s two leading scorers last season, and they’re gone. Ellis, a threat posting up, driving to the hoop and shooting from the perimeter (.438 from three), put tremendous pressure on a defense, but rebounding never was his strength when compared to other power forwards on KU’s always-loaded schedule. Selden shot pretty well (.392 from three), finished strong with memorable dunks and brought defensive toughness, but never displayed much of knack for rebounding. In a combined 60 minutes a game, the starting forwards averaged 9.2 rebounds. If this coming season’s projected starting forwards, Carlton Bragg Jr. and Josh Jackson, combine for 60 minutes, look for them to average somewhere in the neighborhood of the combined total (13.3) Brandon Rush and Julian Wright averaged in 2006-07. This coming season’s bench also projects to lend more help on the boards than last season’s. Cheick Diallo was a productive rebounder but never acquired enough polish to his game to earn more than 202 minutes during a 38game season. Hunter Mickelson was a decent rebounder, but shot-blocking ranked as his best skill. Jamari Traylor rebounded better than Ellis, but not at an exceptionally high rate. Mississippi State transfer Dwight Coleby knows how to translate his 6-foot-9, 240-pound frame into rebounding well. He averaged 4.8 rebounds, third on the team, in just 16.5 minutes per game. Udoka Azubuike, a 7-foot, 280-pound freshman, appears to have more polish to his game than Diallo, at least based on sometimes-deceiving Bill Self Basketball Camp scrimmages. He certainly has a more developed body. His width and sure hands should translate to productive rebounding. Any way you look at it, the Jayhawks should rebound significantly better than last year, when they rebounded well enough to finish ranked third in the nation in a year three teams (Villanova, North Carolina and KU, in that order) stood above the rest by a pretty good margin.

KU volleyball adds player J-W Staff Reports

Jacqui Mostrom, a 5-foot-3, defensive specialist from Springfield (Mo.) Glendale High, has joined Kansas University’s volleyball team, KU coach Ray Bechard announced Thursday. Mostrom graduated from Glendale High a semester early to attend Wichita State and train with the WSU volleyball team — which includes sisters Danielle and Gabi — in the spring. But she changed her mind for reasons academic and athletic. Mostrom attended Parkview High for her first two years of high school, earning first-team allleague honors, before transferring to Glendale, which she led to the 2015 Ozark Conference title as a senior. “Although it’s late in the process for adding someone to our team, Jacqui comes in as very skilled and prepared to succeed at this level,” Bechard said. “Having had a ton of high-level club experience, she could push for playing time early.”

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Diaz packs punch in Cards’ victory The Associated Press

National League Cardinals 5, Marlins 4 Miami — Aledmys Diaz homered, doubled and drove in three runs against childhood pal Jose Fernandez, helping St. Louis beat Miami on Thursday. Fernandez gave up five runs in five innings and fell to 26-2 at Marlins Park. Miami’s Dee Gordon, the 2015 NL batting and stolen-bases champion, returned from an 80game suspension for failing a drug test and went 0-for-4. Ichiro Suzuki doubled as a pinch hitter in the seventh for Miami and needs two hits for 3,000. Diaz and Matt Holliday homered in the third inning against Fernandez (12-5), who had never previously given up more than one homer in a home game. His only other loss at Marlins Park came on opening day this year against Detroit. Michael Wacha (6-7) allowed three runs in six innings, and three relievers completed an eighthitter. Seung Hwan Oh pitched around a one-out single in the ninth for his seventh save. Diaz and Fernandez were neighbors growing up in Santa Clara, Cuba, and the Cardinals enjoyed their reunion. Fernandez walked Jeremy Hazelbaker to start the third inning, and Diaz followed with his 14th homer.

ST. LOUIS’ ALEDMYS DIAZ CONNECTS for a double during the Cardinals’ 5-4 victory over the Marlins on Thursday night in Miami. Rockies 2, Mets 1 New York — Mets steady closer Jeurys Familia stumbled for a second straight game, allowing two runs in the ninth inning as Colorado beat New York for its seventh win in eight games. Less than 24 hours after Familia’s streak of 52 consecutive regular-season saves was snapped, the right-hander entered in the top of the ninth with a 1-0 lead and couldn’t hold it. Trevor Story had a leadoff single and stole second. After fellow rookie David Dahl walked, Daniel Descalso bunted up the first-base line. Mets catcher Rene Rivera watched as the ball spun toward foul territory, but it stopped fair, loading the bases with no out.
