KU Endowment campaign tops state record $1.66B

“

By Peter Hancock

Every gift sent a message that our donors want to elevate KU to greater heights.”

phancock@ljworld.com

The University of Kansas Endowment Association reported this week that it raised $1.66 billion in its just-completed fiveyear fundraising campaign, far exceeding its original goal of $1.2 billion.

That makes the campaign, “Far Above: The Campaign for Kansas,” which officially ended June 30, the largest higher education fundraising effort so far in state history.

— Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little

“The success of ‘Far Above’ is a testament to the confidence our alumni and friends have in KU,” Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said. “Every gift sent a message that our donors want to elevate KU to greater heights.”

Money raised from the

campaign will help fund 16 new buildings or major renovations on campus, along with 53 new professorships and 735 new scholarships and fellowships, the Endowment Association said.

IN 2012, AFTER A LONG DROUGHT IN TEXAS WAS BROKEN, populations of butterflies such as the red admiral greatly increased. Butterfly expert Chip Taylor, with Monarch Watch at the University of Kansas, says the current drop in butterfly populations may also be due to conditions in Texas, where the butterflies migrate in the winter.

“I’m not seeing any butterflies,” she said. “I have a butterfly garden and phlox. Usually, they are all over the phlox.”

Cashatt said she mentioned the butterfly scarcity to her gardening friends.

“They said they weren’t seeing butterflies in their gardens,” she said.

The Baldwin City gardeners were correct in their observations, said Chip Taylor, head of Monarch Watch at the University of Kansas. The state’s butterfly populations are down. He’s not sure of the exact reason, but he’s pretty certain it can be traced to conditions in Texas sometime in the last year.

a referendum on Gov. Sam Brownback and his conservative allies in the Legislature who have reshaped state government in Kansas for the last six years.

> LOSSES, 2A |

After more than seven days, a trial mired in arguments over betrayal and investigative omissions ended Wednesday morning without a verdict.

Over the course of three days jurors deliberated on 21-yearold Galen Satoe’s case before telling Douglas County District Court Judge Paula Martin that they would be unable to reach Satoe a unanimous decision on the charges, even if given more time.

Martin declared a mistrial, the second such result in the reported rape of a Haskell Indian Nations Univer- Wheeler sity student.

Satoe and 20-year-old Jared Wheeler are both accused of raping a 19-year-old freshman in a university dormitory room in the early-morning hours of Nov. 15, 2014.

Wheeler’s trial in June also ended without a unanimous verdict.

Satoe faces two felony counts of rape, one felony count of aggravated criminal sodomy, one felony count of attempted rape and one felony count of attempted aggravated criminal sodomy.

Evidence presented throughout Satoe’s trial showed that the woman, alongside her friends — which included Satoe and Wheeler — spent time partying in the evening hours of Nov. 14, 2014, and into the next morning.

Eventually the woman was left alone with Satoe and Wheeler in the dormitory room that the two men shared, said prosecutor Catherine Decena. Satoe then allegedly began to force himself on the woman, and when she called for Wheeler’s help, Wheeler instead held her down and the two men raped her, according to the prosecution.

Dale Seuferling, president of KU Endowment, said the focus of the new scholarships was to offset the rising cost of tuition, which has risen significantly in recent years in the face of flat or declining state funding.

More than one-third of all the money raised, $523 million, was earmarked for student support, KU Endowment said.

Seuferling said that with students facing increasing costs of attaining higher education, “scholarships help make that a more level playing field.”

Many of the new scholarships are earmarked for specific schools and degree programs, but many are also designated for students in financial need, Seuferling said.

“They’re pretty broadbased across all areas of the university,” he said.

KU officials began planning for the capital campaign in 2008 as KU was preparing for new leadership, shortly before Gray-Little was named chancellor.

That was at the beginning of the Great Recession, which caused KU officials to be more conservative in their initial planning, Seuferling said.

The public kickoff of the campaign began in April 2012, and it generated donations from more than 131,000 donors, nearly half of whom were new donors. People from all 50 states and 59 countries made donations, KU Endowment said.

The largest single gift, $58 million, came from late alumni Al and Lila Self. But 87 percent of

spring during their annual migration north. It fits in a recorded pattern of recent fluctuations in butterfly populations.

In 2011, Texas suffered through a long drought that dried up lakes and left hills gray with dead trees, Taylor said. Butterfly populations fell, but so did those of fire ants and other predators.

The drought was followed by seven months of more than normal rainfall, starting in September 2011 and continuing through March 2012.

Taylor said vegetation thrived with the rain, and butterfly populations bounced back before fire ants and other predator populations recovered.

The result was an explosion of butterfly populations, and the number of butterflies and

diversity of species that migrated to Kansas and other northern locales in 2012 were much greater than normal, Taylor said.

One species, the red admiral, was noted in large numbers that year as far north as Canada.

Taylor said he expected butterfly populations to noticeably increase in late summer. The butterflies that migrate to the area continue to breed in the state, producing new generations of insects throughout the season.

“Populations are highest in the last generation in September,” he said.

“If we don’t see a lot in September, we really are having a bad year.”

“Kansas is not immune from the wide-spread anti-incumbency sentiment we have seen across the nation this election season,” his spokeswoman Eileen Hawley said.

“Governor Brownback looks forward to working with strong Republican majorities in the legislature to make Kansas the best place in America to raise a family and grow a business.”

But Senate President Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, took a subtle dig at Brownback, suggesting the public was not satisfied with his performance.

“Too many Kansans still feel that the sun is not rising for them and their families, despite what some leaders tell them,” Wagle said, referencing a slogan used frequently in Brownback’s own 2014 re-election campaign.

She also said she is confident that going into the general elections, “Republicans will unite this fall to keep Kansas conservative.”

the individual gifts were from donors giving $500 or less, and just over half of the donations came from Kansas residents.

Seuferling said the top priority early on was gaining National Cancer Institute designation for the KU Cancer Center in Kansas City because there was a deadline for that. That was achieved in June 2012.

“As the economy recovered, we were able to be more aggressive with fundraising for other projects,” Seuferling said.

“When people looked in the rear view mirror and saw that the worst was behind them, they were more forthcoming with support.”

Among the new buildings and renovations on the Lawrence campus that were funded through the campaign were Capitol Federal Hall, which now houses the School of Business; the Forum at Marvin Hall; the Lied Center Pavilion; renovations to the Spencer Museum of Art and Swarthout Recital Hall; and the KU Clinical Research Center.

Funds also went toward the Bloch Cancer Care Pavilion and the Cambridge North Tower at KU Hospital in Kansas City, Kan.

There are about 150 species of butterflies that flutter about the fields and gardens of Kansas, Taylor said. About 20 of those species migrate from Texas or other southeastern states.

“Many of the most conspicuous ones come in mostly from Texas,” he said. “It’s not clear what, but something occurred with their overwintering conditions. It can be hard to diagnose because it was something that happened six months or more ago.”

Taylor, who is currently in Alaska, said he noticed smaller than normal butterflies late in the

Teen murder suspect’s hearings on other charges rescheduled

By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

Court hearings related to two felony charges against a 17-year-old Lawrence boy accused of killing his grandmother will have to wait until a decision is made in the

murder trial.

Wednesday afternoon Douglas County District Court Judge James George rescheduled an appearance for Jaered Long, at the request of Long’s attorney, Branden Smith.

Long faces one count of firstdegree murder, to which he has

pleaded not guilty.

In March prosecutors motioned to try Long as an adult rather than as a juvenile. A three-day hearing, where a decision will be made on that motion, is scheduled for late September.

Long is also accused of bat-

tering a juvenile detention center employee on May 12 and June 9 of this year and now faces two felony counts of battery against a law enforcement officer. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Smith requested on Wednes-

When it comes to approving tax breaks and other economic development incentives, operating on a case-by-case basis rather than with rigid city policies is the best course, city officials were told on Wednesday.

The community’s Joint Economic Development Council crafted a recommendation that expressed concern about a host of proposed changes to how the city grants economic development incentives. Several members on the

County to work with city, KDOT on bike access at K-10, Kasold

By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

Although the cost of a solution raised eyebrows, the Douglas County Commission directed county staff to work with the city of Lawrence

and the Kansas Department of Transportation to find a way to provide access across Kansas Highway 10 at a soonto-be-changed intersection.

The staff direction came after commissioners acknowledged receiving a letter from

the Lawrence-Douglas County Bicycle Advisory Committee.

The letter expressed concern that bicyclists would lose the ability to cross K-10 at its intersection with Kasold Drive and East 1200 Road when the intersection is converted to a

right-on, right-off configuration. That work is to be completed this fall in conjunction with the opening of the South Lawrence Trafficway.

The letter asks the county to work together with the city and KDOT to provide

access at the intersection.

The Lawrence City Commission received the letter Tuesday night and directed its staff to work with the county and KDOT on the issue.

Several Monday spats lead to injuries, citations A

slew of unrelated arguments on Monday left several with minor injuries and criminal citations, police say.

I’m sure there were some hurt feelings as well.

In all, Monday’s reported crimes involved a bit of workplace violence, babysitter troubles and stranger danger.

The following is a short recap of the reported events: Around 1:35 p.m., police were dispatched to a fast-food restaurant in the 500 block of West 23rd Street for a report of a battery, said Lawrence Police Officer Andrew Fennelly.

Three officers responded to the scene, according to Lawrence Police Department activity logs.

Fennelly did not disclose which restaurant was involved in the reported incident. If you’re familiar with the area, there are a number of restaurants within the block, some of which are seated inside a strip mall on the street’s north side.

argument had been about.

About an hour later, around 2:30 p.m., officers were dispatched to the 3700 block of Elizabeth Court to check on a child, Fennelly said.

Earlier, a man left his child with a babysitter, Fennelly said. The child’s mother then began to argue with that babysitter, he said, although it was unclear what the argument was about.

The man told officers an unknown man had approached him and — unprovoked — began yelling at him, Fennelly said; the stranger then took a knife and cut a cardboard sign owned by the reporting man.

The stranger then walked away, Fennelly said.

Officers, however, noticed the reporting man’s sign was still intact as they spoke to him, Fennelly said.

One witness did report seeing the argument, noting the unknown man had something in his hand, Fennelly said. They could not confirm whether it was a knife, though.

Officers were unable to find the man, Fennelly said.

Further information was not immediately available.

Statistician who tried to audit voting machines runs exit poll

Board CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

“The case-by-case approach is still an important test,” said Larry McElwain, president and CEO of the Lawrence chamber of commerce and a member of the economic development council.

McElwain advocated for the case-by-case approach because he said each economic development deal is unique, and it is difficult for a government to come up with a policy that covers every scenario.

“We believe maintenance of maximum flexibility is critical,” the board’s recommendation to the City Commission reads.

are set to consider a set of proposed changes to how the city offers economic development incentives. Among the changes are a requirement that residential projects — like the multistory apartment buildings being constructed downtown — enroll a certain percentage of their units into an affordable housing program in exchange for receiving a tax break.

Another proposed change is related to companies that are seeking a sales tax break for construction materials used to build their projects.

The city has issued millions of dollars in sales tax exemptions — a process that involves industrial revenue bonds — over the last several years. The new proposal

would require that companies pass a “but for” test, meaning that they would have to show the project could not proceed but for the sales tax break.

A majority of members of the economic development board balked at that suggestion, though there was significant back and forth on the issue.

“This reads like we won’t be treating all applicants the same,” said Melinda Henderson, a

His “very basic” projection was that the half-mile long bike path would cost $300,000. That was the cost of a 10-foot wide asphalt path. Concrete might be a better, if more expensive, solution because of the threat of flooding near the creek, he said.

— County Commission Chairman Jim Flory

KDOT has indicated that the cost of the bike path should be a “shared local project,” meaning the city and county should pay for it, Browning said.

However, Bicycle Advisory Committee member David Hamby noted KDOT proposes spending $70,000 to alter the Kasold Drive intersection to rightin, right-out after first sharing plans for that configuration cost-

Hearings CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Long was arrested in late December 2015 after police found Deborah Bretthauer, his 67-yearold grandmother, dead in her apartment with “obvious traumatic injuries.”

He was 16 at the time, and both he and Bretthauer were living in the apartment at 1200 George Court.

At the time Long was not a student at either of the Lawrence school district’s high schools, said district spokeswoman Julie Boyle.

Requests for the arrest affidavit, a sworn document filed by police detailing the reasons for an arrest, have been denied

by Douglas County District Court.

In June, Douglas County District Court Judge Kay Huff ordered Long to undergo an evaluation through Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, after which he was declared competent to stand trial.

If Long is tried as an adult and found guilty of the murder charge, he could face more than 40 years in prison. The maximum sentence a juvenile would receive is 60 months in prison or, in Long’s case, to the age of 22.

Long is scheduled to appear in court next on Sept. 21 for the threeday hearing on his trial status.

“We just want to give commissioners the ability to use good judgment,” he said.

Henderson ultimately ended up voting for the recommendation that said the but for test should be applied with discretion. Rebekah Gaston was the only board member to vote against the recommendation, although half a dozen members also were absent from the meeting.

“I believe it should be smart economic development,” Gaston said. “If we are giving (a residential project) economic development incentives, they should provide some affordable housing.”

Ultimately, city commissioners will decide whether to implement the changes to the economic

Economic development incentives were a hot issue during the last City Commission campaign, with several commissioners running on platforms that commissioners had gone too far with tax breaks in the past. City Commissioner Lisa Larsen is on the economic development board. She abstained from Wednesday’s vote on the recommendation.

The city’s Public Incentives Review Committee is scheduled to make recommendations about the possible incentives changes later this month.

Then the issue will await a vote by the City Commission.

Unavailable partner should be broken up with Dear Annie: My significant other and I were in a relationship for 15 years. One evening, I was feeling insecure and asked whether there was someone else. Very soon after that, my significant other completely cut off all contact with me.

We were in a commitment and planning to get married, but now there is absolutely no communication, which just drives me to want to contact him even more than I would have in the past.

I’m trying to stay anchored in optimism, hoping that this storm will pass, he will get back in touch and we will restore our relationship.

How does a person shut down and not have any communication?

This has spurred me to start obsessing. Without the ability to know when we will speak again, I feel paralyzed.

It’s very irritating, and it makes me feel totally separate from this person.

Wouldn’t it create a better outcome if there were a resounding ‘‘no’’ or if we talked it through? How long do I hold on?

Maybe it’s too late.

Or maybe even if he were to come back, I

‘Colorado’ a thorough take on water issues The two-hour documentary “Killing the Colorado” (8 p.m., Discovery) examines one drought crisis while reminding us of another. Employing six celebrated directors and joining forces with the nonprofit journalism organization ProPublica, “Killing” takes a careful look at a looming disaster that one participant calls “the Godzilla of all wake-up calls.”

It’s a serious, s o b e r , thoughtful look at a multifaceted subject that reminds us of the arid journalistic Sahara on our television screens, a place where screaming talking heads have reduced the idea of cable “news” coverage to a sad joke.

For decades, the Colorado River has supplied the vast majority of the American West’s water. And the lion’s share of that goes to agriculture in California’s Imperial Valley, a region that supplies a great deal of the country’s fruits, vegetables and animal feed. Consumers as far away as the East Coast are reliant on food from the Imperial Valley.

Attempts to conserve and reallocate water use are highly contentious, and legislative solutions have not been without negative unintended consequences. Successful water conservation has dried up the Salton Sea, an artificial body of water normally replenished by pesticide-filled agricultural runoff. The parched soil has created toxic dust storms, threatening the health of California residents.

“Killing” reminds us that in order to understand an issue like water, you have to examine the history of water rights and the power and politics behind existing law. Then there’s the science and engineering of dam building, aqueducts and irrigation -- and the economics of agriculture and the planning required to ensure a water supply for future generations.

“Killing the Colorado” is that rare television program that recognizes the complexity of a serious topic and respects its audience’s intelligence and its thirst for serious reporting.

Bob Costas introduces viewers to the host city of the 2016 games on the “Rio Olympics Preview Special” (7 p.m., NBC).

Tonight’s other highlights A winner emerges on “Home Free” (7 p.m., Fox, TV14).

Sixteen teams enjoy three minutes of glory on “BattleBots” (7 p.m., ABC, TV-PG).

should be wary and concerned that he could have ever completely shut down like this. Thanks in advance for your input. — Left Behind Dear Left: People often live in a state of open-ended anguish when a loved one goes missing or dies in a way that makes a body irretrievable.

Denial is a stage of grief, and without concrete evidence of a person’s death, it can be very hard to move past it.

Similarly, without a definite breakup from your partner, you’re stuck in a holding pattern. That’s what makes his cowardly behavior so unbelievably cruel and selfish.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, Aug. 4: This year you could morph from your usually charming self into an efficient yet fussy person. The good news is that this less-amiable facet of your personality will exist only sometimes. If you are single, you could meet someone just by going to the cleaner’s or joining a friend at a favorite restaurant. You smile, and others appear. If you are attached, the two of you always have a good time together.

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) Perhaps it is time to try a new approach. Tonight: Let someone know where you are coming from.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You might feel as though your roommate or partner is acting like a volcano that’s about to erupt. Tonight: First nap, then decide.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) One-on-one communication flows with ease all morning.

Tonight: Make it early.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) A serious conversation takes you down a new path. Tonight: Hang out with a friend.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Beam in more of what you wanth. Tonight: Make it your treat.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

for all that things are over between you.

Truly over. Only then can you have closure, properly mourn the relationship and move on.

Whatever you do, don’t blame yourself. One moment of your feeling insecure should not lead your significant other to cut off all ties after being in a relationship for 15 years. I would ask what prompted your suspicions in the first place. Trust your intuition.

School strategy The Lawrence district has found a reasonable approach to dealing with the effects of budget constraints

T

he Lawrence school district is growing and its revenues aren’t.

That means fewer teachers and larger class sizes.

But the adjustments are modest and appropriate given the budgetary constraints. Besides, the consensus of education research conducted for decades is that smaller class size isn’t as important to student success and achievement as having quality teachers in the classroom.

The Lawrence district has eliminated 17 full-time classroom teachers for this year, bringing to 31 the number of full-time teaching jobs eliminated in the district in the past two years. That contrasts with a student enrollment increase of 250 last year and an anticipated increase of another 150 students this year. Throw in the school finance challenges that districts in Kansas face and you’ve got a volatile mix.

“The reality is It’s anyone’s that we’ve got more students and no guess what more money comchanges are ing in, and so we in store for have to figure out how to manage Lawrence said school schools. Until that,” board Vice Presithat time, dent Shannon Kimsacrificing ball.

Because of changmodest es the state Legisincreases lature made to the in class size school finance forwhile working mula, state funding for the 2015-16 and to retain the 2016-17 school years district’s best is not calculated on classroom a per-pupil basis as before, meaning instructors is enrollment growth as prudent a hurts the district. strategy as any. Nevertheless, the district has found an appropriate strategy. The Lawrence district bumped class size caps in the third grade by two students, while keeping classroom thresholds for kindergarten through second grade and for fourth and fifth grade the same.

Administrators increased studentteacher ratios at the district’s middle schools by one. The district does not expect changes in the student-teacher ratios at its high schools. Even though some high school teaching positions were eliminated, district officials were able to keep class sizes the same by combining some elective courses.

School board President Marcel Harmon noted that the staff cuts in Lawrence have been minimal compared with steeper reductions in other Kansas districts.

Of course, school funding is apt to change. In September, the Kansas Supreme Court is expected to begin its review of whether the overall amount of state aid provided to Kansas schools is adequate. And next year, the Legislature is again expected to go to work on a new school finance formula.

It’s anyone’s guess what changes are in store for Lawrence schools. Until that time, sacrificing modest increases in class size while working to retain the district’s best classroom instructors is as prudent a strategy as any.

Open letter to the Republican Party Dear Republican Party: Congratulations. By now, one thing is beyond dispute: You have produced a candidate for the ages.

This column is only 600 words or so, which gives me not nearly enough space to do justice to the many ways Donald Trump has proven himself unfit to be president. He is an overgrown frat boy trying to masquerade as a statesman. But even by the somewhat elastic

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

I respect the honorable members of your party who have recognized him for the despicable little man he is and the existential danger he represents and refused him their endorsement.”

new standards you and he have embraced, his attack on Khizr and Ghazala Khan represents a breathtaking new low.

As the whole country knows by now, the Khans, Muslim-American immigrants, appeared last week at the Democratic National Convention to speak about their son, Army Capt. Humayun Khan, who was killed in Iraq in 2004 as he approached a suicide bomber.

Your candidate, of course, has made Muslim- and immigrant-bashing a cornerstone of his campaign.

With his wife standing silently beside him looking sick with sorrow, Khizr Khan questioned whether

Trump has ever read the Constitution and offered to lend him a copy. And he reminded your candidate of the sacrifices of a rainbow coalition of patriots, as reflected in the tombstones at Arlington. “You,” he cried, “have sacrificed nothing and no one!”

It was, granted, a stinging rebuke. But a smart candidate would have known that you don’t waste energy attacking the other candidate’s surrogates. A smart candidate would have recognized the argument as unwinnable. A smart candidate would have let it ride.

Your candidate belittled the grieving parents of an American hero.

In interviews Sunday, he suggested Ghazala Khan was silent because she was not “allowed” to speak, i.e., a woman rendered mute and subservient by Islam. He also pushed back against her husband’s charge that he has made no sacrifices.

“I think I’ve made a lot of sacrifices,” he told George Stephanopoulos of ABC

News. “I work very, very hard. I’ve created thousands and thousands of jobs.” When pressed on whether that really constitutes sacrifice, he doubled down. “I think those are sacrifices,” he said.

For the record: Ghazala Khan says she was silent because even now, 12 years later, she cannot see her son’s image, which was projected on a screen behind her, without breaking down.

So she was just trying to hold herself together. And working hard in your own interest is emphatically not a “sacrifice,” especially as compared with losing your son in this country’s service.

I could elaborate, but as I told you, space is limited and I need to reserve some to say this: Shame on you. Have you no honor? Are you really so bereft of basic human decency?

That question applies to every one of you, from House Speaker Paul Ryan and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, all the way to the everyday voter who endorses

this man, knowing that he’s a flaming oil spill of a human being. That’s incomprehensible.

The economy doesn’t explain it. Party loyalty doesn’t excuse it. Remember the pious lectures you gave on patriotism in 2008 because Barack Obama declined to wear an American flag lapel pin?

I do. And it makes your affirmation of this guy all the more inexcusable. As his attack on the Khans proves, Trump can’t even fake patriotism.

I respect the honorable members of your party who have recognized him for the despicable little man he is and the existential danger he represents and refused him their endorsement. For the rest of you, I offer this reminder: History is watching.

History will not forget.

And history will not forgive.

Trump’s case: immunity through profusion Washington — In the 1870s, when Boss Tweed’s Tammany Hall controlled New York City, and in the 1950s and 1960s, when Chicago’s Democratic machine was especially rampant, there was a phenomenon that can be called immunity through profusion: Fresh scandals arrived with metronomic regularity, so there was no time to concentrate on any of them.

The public, bewildered by blitzkriegs of bad behavior, was enervated.

What Winston Churchill said about an adversary — “He spoke without a note and almost without a point” — can be said of Donald Trump, but this might be unfair to him.

His speeches are, of course, syntactical train wrecks, but there might be method to his madness. He rarely finishes a sentence (“Believe me!” does not count), but perhaps he is not the scatterbrain he has so successfully contrived to appear. Maybe he actually is a sly rascal, cunningly in pursuit of immunity through profusion.

He seems to understand that if you produce a steady stream of sufficiently stupefying statements, there will be no time to dwell on any one of them, and the net effect on the public will be numbness and ennui. So, for example, while the nation has been considering his interesting decision to try to expand his appeal by attacking Gold Star parents, little attention has been paid to this: Vladimir Putin’s oc-

cupation of the Crimea has escaped Trump’s notice.

It is, surely, somewhat noteworthy that someone aspiring to be America’s commander in chief has somehow not noticed the fact that for two years now a sovereign European nation has been being dismembered. But a thoroughly jaded American public, bemused by the depths of Trump’s shallowness, might have missed the following from Trump’s appearance last Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.”

When host George Stephanopoulos asked, “Why did you soften the GOP platform on Ukraine?” — removing the call for providing lethal weapons for Ukraine to defend itself — Trump said: “[Putin’s] not

going into Ukraine, OK? Just so you understand.

He’s not going to go into Ukraine, all right? You can mark it down and you can put it down, you can take it anywhere you want.”

Stephanopoulos: “Well, he’s already there, isn’t he?”

Trump: “OK, well, he’s there in a certain way, but I’m not there yet. You have [President] Obama there.

And frankly, that whole part of the world is a mess under Obama, with all the strength that you’re talking about and all of the power of NATO and all of this, in the meantime, he’s going where — he takes — takes Crimea, he’s sort of — I mean ... “ What Trump, in that word salad, calls the “certain way” that Putin is in Crimea is called annexation, enforced by the Russian army. But Trump — channeling his inner Woodrow Wilson and his principle of ethnic selfdetermination — says what has happened to Crimea is sort of democratic because “from what I’ve heard” the people of Crimea “would rather be with Russia than where they were.”

Before the interview ended, Trump expressed his displeasure with the schedule for presidential debates, two of which are on nights with nationally televised NFL games.

(There are such games three nights each autumn week.)

“I got a letter from the NFL,” Trump claimed, “saying this is ridiculous.” The NFL says

it has sent no such letter. But before this Trump fib/figment of his imagination/hallucination can be properly savored, it will be washed away by a riptide of others. Immunity through profusion.

The nation, however, is not immune to the lasting damage that is being done to it by Trump’s success in normalizing post-factual politics. It is being poisoned by the injection into its bloodstream of the cynicism required of those Republicans who persist in pretending that although Trump lies constantly and knows nothing, these blemishes do not disqualify him from being president.

As when, last week, Mike Pence reproved Barack Obama for deploring, obviously with Trump in mind, “homegrown demagogues.”

Pence, doing his well-practiced imitation of a country vicar saddened by the discovery of sin in his parish, said with sorrowful solemnity: “I don’t think name calling has any place in public life.” As in “Lyin’ Ted” Cruz and “Little Marco” Rubio and “Crooked Hillary” Clinton?

Pence is just the most recent example of how the rubble of ruined reputations will become deeper before Nov. 8. It has been well said that “sooner or later, we all sit down to a banquet of consequences.” The Republican Party’s multicourse banquet has begun.

A BLIND EYE TO SEX ABUSE ROBERT HANASHIRO, USA TODAY SPORTS

How USA Gymnastics protected coaches over kids by failing to report allegations of misconduct Marisa Kwiatkowski, Mark Alesia and Tim Evans The Indianapolis Star

One of America’s most prominent Olympic organizations failed to alert authorities to many allegations of coaches’ sexual abuse — relying on a policy that enabled predators to abuse gymnasts long after USA Gymnastics had received warnings.

An Indianapolis Star investigation uncovered multiple examples of children suffering the consequences, including a Georgia case in which a coach INDIANAPOLIS

Republicans: Obama paid off Iran White House says plane full of $400M in cash wasn’t related to American hostage release

Gregory Korte @gregorykorte USA TODAY

Revelations that a plane carrying $400 million in cash arrived in Iran as the regime released U.S. hostages prove President Obama engaged in a cash-for-hostages deal, Republicans charged Wednesday.

That detail, reported in Wednesday’s Wall Street Journal, reignited a months-old debate about the Iran nuclear deal.

“This report makes plain what the administration can no longer deny: This was a ransom payment to Iran for U.S. hostages,” Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., said in a letter to the State and Justice Departments.

“Iran sent American hostages back on the same day it received the cash. Sounds a lot like a ransom payment to me,” said House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, RWis., hedged his criticism with WASHINGTON

spections. The extraordinary method of making the payment — via dollars converted into euros, Swiss francs and other currencies, loaded on pallets, then flown on an unmarked cargo plane — was disclosed in The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, launching new protests from Capitol Hill.

In a side deal to the nuclear agreement, the United States agreed to a settlement of a 37year-old dispute pending in an international tribunal. Iran made a $400 million deposit for military equipment before the Islamic SAUL LOEB, AFP/GETTY IMAGES revolution in 1979, but the equipment was never delivered. The White House said the payment the words “if true” but said the President was not directly related to the rereport would “mark another Obama chapter in the ongoing saga of speaks about lease of five U.S. hostages, including Washington Post reporter misleading the American people U.S.-Iranian to sell this dangerous nuclear relations Jan.

D.C. transit cop arrest raises fears of radicalization in ranks 1st case of U.S. officer linked to terrorists Gregg Zoroya USA TODAY

The arrest of a D.C. transit officer on charges of trying to aid the Islamic State could raise concerns among U.S. police departments about radicalization within the ranks, especially given officers’ ability to access potential targets.

“They would be trusted by other officers, especially if they’re in uniform or have identification

and would therefore get access to areas that average commuters would not,” said Phil Schertzing, a retired inspector for the Michigan State Police. “And, of course, they’re carrying weapons.”

Authorities arrested Nicholas Young, a 13-year veteran of the Metro Transit Police Department in Washington on Wednesday. He is charged with attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State. He is the first U.S. police officer to face a terror-related charge.

Joshua Stueve, spokesman for the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, said Young posed no threat to the transit sys-

tem. Court documents show Young directed his efforts at seeking to help the Islamic State overseas. Still, the case illustrates the potential havoc a radicalized police officer could represent and raises questions about how law enforcement agents are vetted.

“You think about an airport or a subway system, the kind of damage that could be done with explosives and so on ... we’re talking vulnerable targets,” said Frederick Shenkman, a law enforcement expert and professor emeritus at the University of Florida.

Experts said police agencies typically screen new applicants

“You think about an airport or a subway system, the kind of damage that could be done with explosives... we’re talking vulnerable targets.”

by checking prior employment, doing a criminal records check and ascertaining the type of discharge received if they were in the military.

Some agencies will assign someone to do a background in-

vestigation, interviewing people who knew or worked with the applicant. But such background investigations can be expensive, and many smaller departments don’t do them, Shenkman said.

“There are 18,000 police agencies in the United States and they have 800,000 officers,” he said.

“They average 12 to 14 officers each. They’re closer to being like Andy in Mayberry (of the 1960s Andy Griffith Show) than they are to being the NYPD.” Dan Stessel, chief spokesman for Metro Transit, said all new police applicants undergo background checks, but he declined to provide any further details.

L awrence J ournal -W orld - USA TODAY THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 2016

Some question USA Gymnastics’ priorities v CONTINUED FROM 1B

ple to report suspected child abuse.

“USAG failed at this,” said Lisa Ganser, whose daughter filed the Georgia lawsuit that is ongoing.

“USA Gymnastics had enough information, I think, to have done something about this. It didn’t have to happen to my daughter, and it didn’t have to happen to other little girls.”

USA Gymnastics, the sport’s national governing body, develops the U.S. Olympic team and promotes the industry. Its members include more than 121,000 athletes and 3,000 gyms.

The organization touts itself as a brand with sponsors such as AT&T and Hershey’s. After the Rio Olympics, which start this week, its premier athletes will be showcased on a 36-city tour.

USA Gymnastics would not disclose the total sexual-misconduct allegations it receives each year. But records show the Indianapolis-based organization compiled complaints on more than 50 coaches.

The contents of those files remain under seal in the case filed

by Ganser’s daughter. The Indianapolis Star, as part of the USA TODAY Network, filed a motion seeking to make the files public.

The judge has not yet ruled.

Without access to those files, reporters tracked down four cases in which USA Gymnastics was warned of coaches’ suspected abuse but did not go to authorities. The coaches went on to abuse at least 14 gymnasts: uMarvin Sharp of Indianapolis was named 2010 national Women’s Coach of the Year. In 2011, the organization received a complaint describing inappropriate touching, warning he shouldn’t be around children.

Four years later, USA Gymnastics reported Sharp to police only after he was accused of touching a 12-year-old gymnast’s vagina, trimming her pubic hair and taking sexually explicit pictures.

Shortly after he was charged last year, he killed himself in jail. uMark Schiefelbein of Brentwood, Tenn., had a thick file of complaints at USA Gymnastics headquarters before he was charged in 2002 with molesting a 10-year-old.

Schiefelbein penetrated her with his finger multiple times, according to police records. He also videotaped her exposed vagina for what he called “training purposes, so he would know where not to touch her.”

The old complaints against Schiefelbein came to light only after prosecutors subpoenaed records from USA Gymnastics.

He is serving a 36-year sentence. uJames Bell of Spokane, Wash., had a sexual-misconduct complaint on file at least five years before his 2003 arrest for molesting three young gymnasts in Rhode Island.

Allegations contained in that file are not known, but Star reporters found prior police reports Corrections & Clarifications USA TODAY is committed to accuracy. To reach us, contact Standards Editor Brent Jones at 800-8727073 or e-mail accuracy@usatoday.com.

on Bell in Oregon.

Bell continued coaching until his former employer reported him to police in Middletown, R.I. He fled in 2004 and was re-arrested last year.

In December in Newport, R.I., Bell pleaded guilty to child molestation and is serving eight years in prison. uWilliam McCabe of Rincon, Ga., had at least four complaints as early as 1998.

One gym owner warned that McCabe “should be locked in a cage before someone is raped.”

USA Gymnastics never reported the allegations to police, and federal authorities say he began molesting a girl in 1999.

McCabe coached children for nearly seven more years until Ganser went to the FBI with emails to her then-11-year-old daughter. McCabe was charged with molesting gymnasts, secretly videotaping girls changing clothes and posting their naked pictures on the Internet.

He pleaded guilty in 2006 in Savannah, Ga., and is serving a 30-year sentence.

USA Gymnastics said it follows reporting laws and is doing enough to protect children.

President Steve Penny declined to be interviewed, citing privacy issues and the McCabe suit. But he released a statement.

“USA Gymnastics has a long and proactive history of developing policy to protect its athletes and will remain diligent in evaluating new and best practices,” the statement reads. “We recognize our leadership role is important and remain committed to working with the entire gymnastics community and other important partners to promote a safe and fun environment for children.”

In member publications, the organization describes its coaches and gyms as the “gold standard … a distinction that parents look for and depend upon.”

Shelley Haymaker, an Indiana lawyer who represents childabuse victims, said USA Gymnastics’ approach sickens her.

“USAG may not have been the hand that ultimately abused these innocent children,” Haymaker said. “But it was definitely the arm.”

CONFIDENTIAL FILES In McCabe case records, USA Gymnastics acknowledged it seldom forwarded child-abuse allegations to police or child-protective services without being asked.

When questioned under oath, Penny and his predecessor, Rob-

ert Colarossi, shed light on why.

Concerns included damage to a coach’s reputation if an allegation were false.

Colarossi said he inherited a policy of dismissing complaints unless they were signed by a victim or victim’s parent — a policy that experts said could deter reporting. It’s not clear exactly when that policy was created or by whom.

Michael Athans, a lawyer representing USA Gymnastics, said those policies date to at least the 1990s. USA Gymnastics bylaws do not specifically address when a complaint sexual-misconduct should go to authorities.

The 54 coaches’ complaint files “prove that complaints were handled in a variety of ways,” according to court records.

Sometimes, USA Gymnastics “investigated rumors, anonymous claims or hearsay allegations.”

Other times, it didn’t investigate complaints that appeared to meet its requirements.

Athans said he wished he could clarify organization policies, but the McCabe litigation limits him.

In court testimony, Penny suggested USA Gymnastics was not obligated to pass allegations of sexual misconduct to authorities.

“To the best of my knowledge, there’s no duty to report if you are — if you are a third-party to some allegation,” Penny said in a

deposition taken last year. “You know, that lies with the person who has first-hand knowledge.”

ERR TOWARD PRECAUTION Legal experts said the law doesn’t require firsthand information. All it requires is a reason to believe abuse has occurred.

“One is encouraged to err on the side of precaution,” said Haymaker, the Indiana lawyer.

After reviewing documents from the McCabe lawsuit, Haymaker said she believes that USA Gymnastics violated state law.

“There is no question that USAG is not interpreting the law of our state, but rather their own internal law and system,” she said.

All 50 states have laws that require people to report suspected child abuse to authorities. In Indiana, the law specifically mandates everyone — including coaches, gym owners and sports organization officials — to report child abuse.

The need to report quickly is so important that the Indiana Supreme Court ruled a high school principal violated the law when he waited four hours to report the alleged rape of a student.

FAILURE TO REPORT Courtney Kiehl, a survivor of sex abuse by a gymnastics coach and co-founder of Abused Children

Heard Everywhere Foundation, called USA Gymnastics’ requirement that a victim or victim’s parent sign a complaint absurd.

Talking about these crimes can be traumatic, Kiehl said. Victims may be reluctant to file a formal report but could confide in a friend or trusted adult.

“It’s like they don’t want people to report,” she said.

Some in gymnastics question whether USA Gymnastics is too preoccupied with producing Olympic champions, winning sponsorships and growing the sport — or protecting its image — to ensure the safety of tens of thousands of children.

Molly Shawen-Kollmann, a member of the U.S. National team from 1991 to 1993, said she thinks USA Gymnastics officials have good intentions, but the clubs’ growth has overwhelmed them.

“Gymnastics is such a bubble.

It’s its own universe,” ShawenKollmann said. “The federation is thinking about the Olympics, then the World Championships.

It’s go, go, go.”

Some experts recommend USA Gymnastics simply report all allegations. It’s a no-risk proposition in all states because of state laws that provide immunity from civil or criminal liability to individuals who make a report in good faith.

Ross Robinson, father of the Tennessee girl abused by Schiefelbein, said USA Gymnastics’ approach to his daughter’s predator was “kind of like Pontius Pilate: ‘I wash my hands of it.’ ” “When kids are involved, then we have to take the extra steps,” he said.

When those steps aren’t taken, children can suffer. Ganser said the effect on her daughter and other girls will be everlasting.

“Bill McCabe could have been stopped close to 10 years before he got these girls,” she said.

In Rhode Island, Kaylin Brietzke, molested by Bell for two years starting at age 7, said it shouldn’t have happened to her either. The USA TODAY Network doesn’t identify sex-abuse victims, but Brietzke agreed to be identified.

“It doesn’t matter who you’re protecting,” said Brietzke, now 22. “It doesn’t matter that they’re part of your organization and you want to save face.”

She paused, collecting herself.

“How about saving me?”

“Underlying all the president’s commutation decisions is the belief that these deserving individuals should be given the tools to succeed in their second chance,” he said.

Political scientist P.S. Ruckman Jr., who tracks pardon and commutation data, said it’s the largest one-day grant of commutations in history.

The previous record: July 26, 1935, when President Franklin Roosevelt issued 151 for immigration-related offenses.

Advocates for more aggressive presidential clemency say even that pace is not enough to fulfill the promise of Obama’s 2014 clemency initiative, which aimed to shorten the sentences of offenders who would have been given shorter sentences if they had NICHOLAS KAMM, AFP/GETTY IMAGES been convicted of the same crime President Obama meets in March with formerly incarcerated individuals who today. received commutations, including Phillip Emmert.

“While the commutations President Obama granted today are an important step forward, they remind us of how much more work this administration has to do if it is to grant relief for every person eligible,” said Mark Osler, a law professor at St. Thomas University.

Clinical trial underway for an experimental Zika vaccine, NIH says Liz Szabo

@lizszabo USA TODAY

As health officials work to contain the country’s first Zika outbreak, centered in a Miami neighborhood, scientists at the National Institutes of Health announced the launch Wednesday of a clinical trial of an experimental Zika vaccine.

It’s the second such study to begin this summer: Inovio Pharmaceuticals offered the first dose of its Zika vaccine July 26.

There are no effective vaccines or treatments for Zika, leaving scientists scrambling to protect people, particularly pregnant women whose unborn babies are at risk of birth defects.

With 15 people infected by local mosquitoes in Miami, and more than 1,600 people in the continental U.S. infected through travel, scientists pushed themselves to begin the trial as quickly as possible, launching it a month ahead of schedule, said Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

“A safe and effective vaccine to prevent Zika virus infection and the devastating birth defects it causes is a public health imperative,” Fauci said. “Results in animal testing have been very encouraging. We are pleased that we are now able to proceed with this initial study in people.”

“Although it will take some time before a vaccine against Zika is commercially available, the launch of this study is an important step forward,” he added.

The NIH study began Tuesday, when the first volunteer was vaccinated. The vaccine will be tested in 80 healthy volunteers, ages 18 to 35, at three locations: the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Md.; Emory University in Atlanta; and the University of Maryland in Baltimore, Fauci said. The vaccine is similar to an experimental West Nile Virus vaccine already developed by the NIH, but not yet approved.

Zika can cause catastrophic birth defects in fetuses.

SUPREME COURT BLOCKS TRANSGENDER VICTORY

The Supreme Court sided Wednesday with a Virginia school board opposed to the Obama administration’s directive that transgender students be allowed their choice of public bathrooms.

The justices blocked a federal appeals court ruling against the Gloucester County School Board while they consider whether to hear the case. If they do, it would mark the high court’s first foray into the issue of transgender rights.

The case was brought by a transgender student, Gavin Grimm, who contested the school district’s refusal to let him use the boys’ bathroom.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit ruled in his favor in April but put its ruling on hold, so the school board could appeal.

The Supreme Court’s order keeps the old rules in place.

A woman is dead and five others are injured after a knife attack in London’s Russel Square that authorities say may be terror-related.

Authorities are investigating terrorism as a possible motive for the stabbing late Wednesday night, the Metropolitan Police Service said in a news release.

Officers responded around 22:33 p.m. Wednesday to reports of a man stabbing people in Russell Square, Metropolitan police said. They found six people who were stabbed. One of the victims, only identified as a woman, was treated at the scene but was later pronounced dead.

Police arrested a man in connection with the incident, tasing him before he was taken into custody.

WASHINGTON Hillary Clinton’s historic bid for the presidency is driving women to historic levels of political giving as they race to support the nation’s first female major-party nominee.

Women account for a little more than 60% of the identifiable contributions to Clinton’s campaign and outside groups supporting her through the end of June, according to Federal Election Commission data analyzed

by Crowdpac, a political crowdfunding website. By contrast, nearly 31% of the donations to help Republican Donald Trump came from female donors.

The gap is the largest in the recent history of presidential fundraising and an indication that support for Clinton among women could set records this fall.

Gender has factored heavily into the campaign. A slew of recent polls point to female voters overwhelmingly backing Clinton over Trump, a threat to his White House ambitions. Nearly 10 million more women than men cast ballots in 2012.

“Once somebody makes a financial investment in a candidate, you certainly are looking at a person who has a much higher potential for actually going out and voting for that candidate,” said Debbie Walsh, director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.

Crowdpac’s analysis examined individual contributions reported to the Federal Election Commission. Candidates do not have to disclose details about donors who

contribute $200 or less.

Clinton collected nearly $90 million last month for herself and Democratic Party committees as she accepted the party’s nomination. Trump’s camp said Wednesday that he and the Republican Party raised $80 million in July.

Last week, Clinton’s campaign posted its best online fundraising day, pulling in $8.7 million in a 24-hour period, tied to her speech at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

Regina Montoya, a Texas lawyer, serves as one of Clinton’s “Hillblazers,” the campaign’s designation for the nearly 500 individuals and couples who have collected at least $100,000. More than half are women.

Montoya won’t say exactly how much she’s raised but said she has brought in “substantially more” than $100,000. Women make up about 60% of the contributors she’s drawn into the Clinton camp, she said.

“It’s almost a badge of honor for them” to donate, said Montoya, a Wellesley College and Harvard Law graduate. “The fact that they have the ability to make that contribution, even if it’s a stretch contribution, makes them feel so good.”

Paul Saffo, Silicon Valley forecaster

It’s an unexpected sight inside an Internet giant best known for helping its 1.7 billion users keep up with friends and family. The cavernous, highly secure lab with polished surfaces and gleaming concrete floors is divided into two areas: an electrical engineering lab with rows of long desks to test and debug designs and a prototyping workshop with large machine tools. These include a 5-axis water jet that can cut sheets of any material from steel to granite.

Tinkering with hardware is a throwback to Silicon Valley’s roots that stretch to the 1930s with Bill Hewlett and David Packard. It also marks a groundbreaking new approach for Facebook.

Over the years a smattering of isolated labs sprang up with every new project: Oculus’ facilities in Seattle, the hangar for the Aquila drone in the U.K., a laser communications lab in Southern California.

Jay Parikh, Facebook’s head of engineering and infrastructure, believes Facebook can leap ahead by incubating everything in one space where people and ideas commingle. Over time he hopes engineers can crank out in days what used to take weeks or even months.

Facebook is banking its new hardware lab will speed the pace of innovation.

most heralded. Its brain trust of engineers and programmers developed critical hardware for the modern personal computer.

More recently, Internet giants have taken up the mantle. In 2010, Google created a corporate lab, X, to experiment with driverless cars, balloons that deliver the Internet and other speculative pursuits. Microsoft has a “Special Projects” group under the umbrella of its research division. Apple is famous for its top-secret machinations on unannounced products.

“This is a very good sign that large company innovation is very much alive,” Silicon Valley forecaster Paul Saffo said. “This could be where next big ideas come from.”

Advances in technology are fueling innovation. Today, companies can quickly and cheaply experiment with product designs by using low-cost 3-D printers to make prototypes. With its new lab, Facebook can more quickly turn those into actual objects.

Facebook broke ground on the hardware lab nine months ago, and when Facebook says it broke ground, it literally broke it. It ripped up the floor, and then used heavy equipment to drive pylons 60 feet into bedrock, says Spencer Burns, a Facebook model maker who turns engineering designs into functional prototypes.

“We are standing on 3 feet of concrete reinforced by rebar supported by over 100 pylons,” Burns says speaking over the constant whirring of the heavy machinery.

“This is a serious floor.”

Need for such a serious floor is clear when you look at the scale of the equipment sitting on top of it, like the 9-axis mill-turn lathe used for making complex components. It weighs 60,000 pounds.

Solid 179,000 jobs added in July, ADP projects ‘We’re transitioning to a more sustainable pace,’ economist says Paul Davidson @Pdavidsonusat USA TODAY

Payroll processor ADP’s report Wednesday that businesses added 179,000 jobs in July could signal that the Labor Department will say Friday the U.S. logged a second consecutive month of solid employment gains. But it also underscores many economists’ belief that job growth is slowing.

Employers added a booming 287,000 jobs in June, Labor Department figures show, but that likely reflected pent-up demand after a meager 11,000 additions in

May. In the first half of 2016, monthly job growth has averaged 171,000, well below the 251,000 pace of 2014 and 229,000 last year. Economists estimate Labor will announce Friday 180,000 new jobs were created in July.

Friday’s employment report could be pivotal because it will be among the most significant economic data the Federal Reserve reviews before deciding whether to raise interest rates in September. The Fed lifted its benchmark rate in December for the first time in nearly a decade but has held it steady since.

After the government reported last week that the economy grew just 1.2% in the April-June period, the third consecutive quarter of feeble gains, it likely will take job gains that top 200,000 in both July and August, as well as an ac-

In the first half of 2016, monthly job growth has averaged 171,000.

celeration in wage growth, to prod a cautious Fed to act in September, says Gus Faucher, deputy chief economist of PNC Financial Services Group.

Over the next few months employment data will reveal whether the volatile payroll counts early in the year stemmed from quirks such as warm winter

weather and market turbulence or whether the trend has downshifted for the longer term, as many economists believe.

“We’re transitioning to a more sustainable pace of job growth,” Faucher says.

That’s not a bad thing. With unemployment at 4.9%, there are simply fewer available workers to fill job openings that remain just modestly below record levels. The tight labor market is expected to continue to push up average annual pay increases that reached 2.6% in June after hovering around 2% for most of the recovery — a positive for consumer spending and economic growth.

Economist Paul Ashworth of Capital Economics looks for average monthly job gains of about 170,000 during the second half of the year.

The Bank of England is expected to take steps Thursday to offset the economic fallout from Britain’s vote to exit the European Union.

The economic downside for the United Kingdom since the June 23 Brexit vote is becoming more visible, boosting odds the BoE will inject more stimulus into the financial system.

The BoE opted to keep interest rates steady at a seven-year low of 0.5% in July, saying it wanted more official data to determine how big an economic hit Brexit has caused.

Per-share price of a stock won’t tell you much Q: When will Facebook split its stock?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Facebook (FB) now has so many friends on Wall Street it is splitting its stock. But while the timing of the 3-for-1 split isn’t known, it’s a financial nonevent.

Shares of Facebook have been on a tear, rising more than 30% over the past year. Facebook, which some thought couldn’t survive as a public company, is now the sixth-most-valuable company in the Standard & Poor’s 500. The rally has pushed shares of Facebook to more than $120 a share, which is beyond the level some investors might expect a company to split.

In a 3-for-1 stock split, for instance, a company would triple the number of shares investors own. But at the same time, it would cut the per-share price in a third, leaving the value of the stake unchanged.

Some investors like the idea of owning more shares. There is also academic research suggesting stock splits might signal a management is comfortable enough with the future as to not be pessimistic. Facebook’s split is being structured, too, to allow CEO Mark Zuckerberg to keep control. But when it comes to valuation, the per-share price of a stock by itself doesn’t tell you much.

Investors know to examine other benchmarks like the price-to-earnings ratio.

Nine companies’ profits help investors breathe a bit easier Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

Nine companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 have knocked the cover off earnings estimates for the second quarter so far, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. Each of these companies topped expectations by 30% or more as well as exceeded quarterly revenue forecasts.

Earnings surprises like these helped make the corporate earnings recession less ugly than ex-

pected. Now that more than 350 companies in the S&P 500 have reported, earnings are looking to be down 2.2% from the same year-ago period. That’s much better than the 5.2% decline expected when earnings season began.

So far 66% of companies have beaten expectations, in line with the long-term average. Meanwhile, 42% of companies have beaten revenue expectations in addition to earnings forecasts. Individual sectors have done better still, such as health care, where 77% of the companies that have reported so far have exceeded earnings and revenue targets.

EARNINGS SURPRISES S&P 500 companies delivering earnings, revenue surprises: Q2 surprise % Company EPS Revenue Diamond 932.9% 6% Offshore Electronic Arts 389.7% 4.8% Devon Energy 130.4% 8.6% XL Group 100.1% 4.2% Mattel 64.5% 2.2% Alcoa 56.6% 1.3% Cincinnati Fncl.

47.1% 2.8% Newmont Mining 42.7% 6.7% Diamond 932.9% 6% Offshore Drilling SOURCE S&P GLOBAL MARKET INTELLIGENCE, USA TODAY

Just 10% of energy companies in the S&P 500 exceeded earnings and revenue forecasts. But two of the companies to top earnings forecasts by 30% or more were energy companies, including Devon and exploration company Diamond Offshore Drilling.

Devon was expected to lose nearly 20 cents a share during the quarter but wound up reporting a profit of 6 cents a share. Diamond’s adjusted profit of 16 cents a share was 934% more than the roughly 2 cents a share expected by analysts.

Video-game maker Electronic Arts also pulled out an unexpect-

ed profit. The company earned an adjusted profit of 7 cents a share, topping expectations for a loss of more than 2 cents a share.

But when it comes to tech, Amazon.com’s 60% better-thanexpected profit was a stunner.

The stock is up 4% over the past 30 days, making it one of the most valuable companies in the world at more than $360 billion.

Don’t assume all is clear yet.

Analysts expect S&P 500 companies to post 0.8% earnings growth in the current quarter. That’s down from the 9.1% growth they expected for the period when asked at the start of the year.

Barcelona is a fine duet, taken off the Queen frontman’s 1988 joint album of the same name with the Spanish opera star, whose sublime soprano complements his elastic vocals. But the classical, yearning love song is unlikely to light a fire under any athletes’ feet and is better suited as an homage to the city, which played host to the 1992 summer event.

admittedly grows on you after a few listens, and its impassioned lyrics about perseverance are inspiring during such a distressingly violent summer. But one can’t help but wish that the effervescent pop queen had tried something a little more adventurous with the ultimately forgettable Rise, which sounds like a retread of past songs Wide Awake and Unconditionally.

‘BANG THE DRUM,’ BRYAN ADAMS AND NELLY FURTADO

By no stretch of the imagination is Bang the Drum a lyrical masterpiece. (Sample lyrics: “From the East / From the West / Each of us trying our best.”) And yet, the 2010 Winter Olympics anthem is a refreshingly upbeat addition to the Games’ often somber catalog, fueled by a peppy drum solo and unabashedly cheesy chorus about dreaming big.

5 Hip-hop artists have mostly been passed over when it comes ‘SOMEDAY,’ FLIPSYDE

Olympic theme songs should be judged. Also written for the 1988 summer event, this top-5 hit perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the Games: giving one’s all, facing the pain and ultimately becoming “more than I thought I could be.” But it’s also an expertly constructed pop anthem, which gradually builds to a trumpeting finish as Houston belts “I will be free.” It’s a knockout vocal performance that only she was capable of giving, and one that elevates this from a rousing torch song to a timeless classic.

In Big 12 volleyball history ...

KU’s Payne pegged as Big 12’s best J-W Staff Reports

The preseason Player of the Year has been chosen from six teams since 1996.

The tallies, per team (includes coplayers of the year):

The Kansas volleyball team, which set program records during the 2015 season and postseason, will carry its streak of firsts into 2016.

Junior right-side hitter Kelsie Payne became KU’s first Big 12 preseason player of the year in a vote of the league’s coaches, announced Wednes-

day. The preseason award has been given out since 1996.

“It’s insane and I am honored,” Payne said in a news release. “With everything that we accomplished, I have to thank my teammates for any individual accolades I receive. I couldn’t do it without my setter, libero, hitters and everyone who took part in helping me get where I am.”

Payne earned AllAmerica and All-Big 12 honors last season as the Jayhawks had their best

start (19-0) and best finish (30-3) and advanced to their first NCAA Final Four, where Payne was named to the All-Tournament Team.

She set a KU single-season record for total kills (496) and led the league in kills per set (4.4).

For the second year in a row, Payne is joined on the preseason All-Big 12 Team by junior setter Ainise Havili and senior middle blocker Tayler Soucie.

Payne and Havili are unanimous selections on the 2016 team. All three earned first-

team honors at the end of the 2015 season.

The Jayhawks return five starters for the 2016 season, which opens Aug. 26 at Mississippi State.

“Last year we had great team chemistry,” Payne said, “and it is important for us to focus in on everyone finding their new role — whatever that might be. The best thing we can do now is to build on what we did last year, but at the same time move on from that and realize that we are starting with a blank slate this season.”

No. 1 QB. But a shoulder injury knocked him out of the lineup four games into what turned out to be an 0-12 season, opening the door for Ryan Willis to make his claim as the top signal-caller.

As a true freshman, Willis completed 52.1 percent of his 315 passes for 1,719 yards, nine touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Any perceived notion of Willis beginning his sophomore year as the starter disappeared, however, when a broken wrist forced him to

miss spring football, which included the installation of Beaty’s new-and-improved Air Raid offense.

Each time the quarterbacks take a snap at practices, they’ll find themselves competing for the starting job.

“Every day, we’re going out there competing,” Cozart said recently, “making each other better. That’s what it’s all about. You’ve gotta love competition.”

Summer abroad offers head start for Svi

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

A year ago, most members of the Kansas men’s basketball team had an opportunity to get a jump on the 2015-16 season by competing internationally, in the World University Games in South Korea.

This summer, one of the players who was forced to stay home got his turn.

Junior-to-be Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk spent a good chunk of this summer away from his Kansas teammates preparing for and playing with his countrymen in the Under 20 European Championships in Finland.

Mykhailiuk, who led his Ukrainian team with a 14.9-point average in seven games — and also averaged 5.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 2.1 steals and 4.7 turnovers —

remains one of the most intriguing returning players on KU’s roster despite his somewhat limited participation during his first two seasons in Lawrence. During his freshman and sophomore seasons, Svi played in 61 of a possible 74 contests and averaged 12.1 minutes per game.

KU coach Bill Self said last week on Rock Chalk Sports Talk that Svi was ex-

pected to return to campus in late August (likely the 18th or 19th) and, like many fans, the KU coach admitted he was curious to see if this would be a breakthrough season for the still-young Ukrainian.

By Brian Schmitz

Overlooking Rio de Janeiro is an iconic, 98-foot tall mountaintop statue of Christ, his arms spread wide.

The host city of the Summer Games needs divine intervention to salvage this longrunning global event that has clearly jumped the shark like your favorite TV series.

The Rio mess is another exhibit in why the Olympics has outlived its purpose and usefulness.

There are threats of viruscarrying mosquitoes, highpowered pollution and runaway sewage. Don’t drink the water — seriously. Or swim in it or row in it, either, lest you turn into “The Creature from the Black Lagoon.”

Human body parts washed ashore near a beach volleyball venue. It all sounds like something out of a ghastly horror movie.

Is Stephen King lighting the torch?

Then there’s the very real concern of a worldwide predator: ISIS. After the senseless violence and death in Orlando and most recently, Nice, France, you wonder if Brazil can protect athletes and fans on this sprawling international stage.

Rio is having enough trouble combating crime in its streets.

Some athletes had property stolen from their hotel rooms after they had been evacuated by a fire alarm. Visitors were met at the Rio airport by police who couldn’t guarantee their safety, brandishing a sign that read, “Welcome to Hell.”

So hold your breath — and your nose — for the next couple of weeks.

You can understand why some athletes decided not to go to Rio. Golden State star Steph Curry was as much worried about being bitten by a Zika-carrying mosquito as he was being carried off by one. Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy passed. You couldn’t blame Spieth and McIIroy if they couldn’t have stopped giggling through their backswings about the thought of golf, like horse dancing, actually being an Olympic sport.

Opening Ceremonies are set for Friday.

Let the Games begin.

But here’s an idea for the U.S. to consider: Let the Games end.

With apologies to every noble, hard-working athlete from Simone Biles to Michael Phelps to the Unknown Synchronized Swimmer … do we really need the Olympics anymore?

We don’t need the Games in their current state, that’s for certain. Would you really miss it, with NFL training camps now open?

I’m as patriotic as the next guy or gal, but the Olympics just don’t seem relevant anymore — even with a four-year build-up. I’ve covered my share of Summer and Winter Olympics, and there’s nothing better than watching the hearttugging dreams come true for our amateur athletes (not the pros … sorry, NBA stars).

But the thrill of competition and the triumph of the human spirit — the original Olympic mission statement, however corny — have been long lost, buried by corruption and scandal.

The good ol’ USA has the clout to demand change from the top to the bottom. Weed out the usual suspects. Bring in some bright minds with new ideas. Downsize or streamline these massive, unruly five-ring circuses — whatever it takes.

Now that would fit the definition of going for the gold, for heaven’s sake.

U.S. women win opener ————

Americans take 2-0 soccer victory over New Zealand Belo Horizonte, Brazil (ap) — Carli Lloyd and Alex Morgan scored as the U.S. women’s soccer team defeated New Zealand, 2-0, in its debut at the Rio Games on Wednesday, getting off to a solid start in its attempt to win a fourth straight Olympic gold medal.

Lloyd put the Americans ahead with a header in the ninth minute, and Morgan added to the lead with a low shot from inside the area less than a minute into the second half at the Mineirao Stadium in Belo Horizonte.

“That was the best way we could have started,” said Tobin Heath, who made the cross that led to Lloyd’s goal. “We came out with a lot of energy and a lot of determination. I think in that regard we put our best foot forward and got that goal and I think that helped propel us throughout the game.”

The U.S. dominated from the start to earn the convincing victory and remain unbeaten in 2016, with 14 shutouts and only one draw in 16 games.

“I was really pleased that we got the clean sheet,” U.S. coach Jill Ellis said. “I thought we moved the ball against a very determined team.”

Near the end of the game, many of the nearly 10,000 fans at the stadium chanted “Zika,

Zika” at goalkeeper Hope Solo, who before coming to the Olympics upset some Brazilians by tweeting a photo of herself wearing a hat with mosquito netting in a reference to the virus. The chants were repeated after the final whistle.

“I’m glad the fans had fun,” Solo said. “And if they had fun at my expense, more power to them.”

The Americans are trying to become the first team to win the Olympics after succeeding at the World Cup. The Olympic tournament is the first major competition for the U.S. since the retirement of key players such as Abby Wambach and Lauren Holiday following last year’s world title in Canada.

The revamped Americans next play France on Saturday, again at the Mineirao.

New Zealand, playing in its third consecutive Olympics, barely threatened the U.S. at the Mineirao, which holds more than 60,000 spectators.

Lloyd opened the scoring after Heath beat a couple of defenders just outside the area before making a cross to the far post, where the U.S. captain outjumped a defender to head the ball into the other corner and score her seventh Olympic goal. Lloyd has scored in three straight Olym-

pics, including in the finals both in 2008 in Beijing and 2012 in London.

It was the 89th goal in 225 appearances for the midfielder.

She has 13 Olympic appearances, tied with Solo for the most on the team.

Morgan scored the second goal with a low shot by the near post after receiving a pass by Morgan Brian inside the area.

It was Morgan’s 12th goal of the year, and fifth at Olympic tournaments.

The U.S. is trying to win its fifth gold medal since women’s soccer became an Olympic sport in 1996 in Atlanta.

The only time it didn’t win the Olympics was in 2000 in Sydney, when it lost the final to Norway.

The Americans have a fresh team with 11 Olympic newcomers, although many who made it to Rio were in the World Cup-winning squad in Canada last year.

In addition to playing with a younger team, the U.S. arrived in Rio with some players recovering from injuries, including regular starter Megan Rapinoe, who was on the bench the entire match on Wednesday.

Mallory Pugh, 18, started the game to become the youngest American women’s player to start in an Olympic match.

BRIEFLY OLYMPICS

Phelps may consider returning in 2020 Rio de Janeiro — Michael Phelps kept saying this would definitely be his final Olympics.

No chance of any more comebacks, right?

Not so fast.

During a news conference Wednesday, Phelps called Rio “my potential last Olympics.”

With that, the media in the packed interview room erupted in gasps and laughter, cutting off Phelps in mid-sentence as he talked about the chance to share the Olympics with his infant son, Boomer.

“Just so you guys don’t beat me to death if I come back,” he went on. “I’m not. But I’m just going to say that.”

Teammate and longtime rival Ryan Lochte, who is rooming with Phelps in the Olympic village, predicts the 31-year-old Phelps will be back in the pool for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

“I just have a weird feeling,” Lochte said. “Once you compete on this stage at the Olympics, that passion, that excitement, that thrill of racing the top people in the world, when that goes away, you miss it. You miss it really quick.”

Phelps initially retired after the 2012 London Games, but he changed his mind about a year later.

Lochte believes the same thing will happen after Rio. “I think that’s why he came back,” Lochte said. “He missed it. He wasn’t done accomplishing what he wanted to accomplish in this sport. I don’t think he’ll be done after this one. I hope not.”

Mathieu signs Cards contract Glendale, Ariz. — On what he called “a proud day,” Tyrann Mathieu added a rich chapter to his remarkable comeback story

by signing a five-year, $62.5 million contract extension Wednesday.

The deal makes him one of the highest-paid defensive backs in the game.

Although an initial report put Mathieu’s guaranteed money at $40 million, a person close to the situation clarified that the player was guaranteed $21.25 million at signing, including a $15.5 million signing bonus.

Cavaliers sign veteran swingman Cleveland — The Cleveland Cavaliers have re-signed veteran swingman James Jones for a third season.

While Jones hasn’t made a huge contribution on the floor, the Cavaliers value his leadership. Jones has been teammates with LeBron James for the past six seasons, winning two titles with Miami and a third in Cleveland.

Royals’ struggles start early in 12-0 rout St. Petersburg, Fla. (ap) — Edinson Volquez had focused between starts on doing better in the first inning.

Things didn’t quite pan out as Volquez allowed four of his eight runs in the opening inning of the Kansas City Royals’ 12-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday night.

“I’ve really struggled the first inning in my last couple outings,” Volquez said. “Me and (pitching coach) Dave (Eiland) tried something different tonight to take that away, but it didn’t work.”

After Evan Longoria had a sacrifice fly, Steven Souza Jr. put the Rays up 4-0 on his three-run shot off Volquez (8-10) in the first.

Souza had gone 109 at-bats without a homer after going deep June 4 against Minnesota’s Ervin Santana.

Transfer RB, young CB arrive for camp

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

While every member of the Kansas football team reported to campus Wednesday for the first day of the Jayhawks’ preseason camp, two players in particular stood out as welcome arrivals.

Not listed prior to Day 1 of camp, junior running back Denzell Evans and freshman defensive back Mike Lee now appear on KU’s official roster.

Evans, a graduate transfer running back from Arkansas, confirmed to the Journal-World earlier this week that he had made it to Lawrence.

Football CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

Given the state of the rebuilding program and the fact that neither Cozart nor Willis enters camp as a clear-cut leader, the snaps handled by other QBs might prove just as interesting in this preseason competition. Beaty has remained complimentary of redshirt freshman quarterback Carter Stanley, and it’s hard to rule out true freshman Tyriek Starks as a dark horse candidate at this juncture.

More experienced ‘D’ KU’s defense certainly experienced more than its fair share of struggles in 2015, when opponents averaged 560.8 yards and 46.1 points a game. But many of the Jayhawks who fought through those woes return, with the hope their scars will make them that much more prepared to improve.

Thirteen of the Jayhawks’ top 15 tacklers from last year come back to take on the Big 12’s offenses again, under the direction of defensive coordinator Clint Bowen: senior safety Fish Smithson, junior line-

Lee, a Class of 2017 recruit from New Orleans, showing up qualified was even bigger news for second-year Kansas coach David Beaty and his staff.

The 5-foot-10 cornerback from Landry-Walker High received a four-star rating from Rivals.com and graduated early in order to join the Jayhawks a backer Joe Dineen, senior linebacker Marcquis Roberts, senior safety Tevin Shaw, sophomore safety Tyrone Miller Jr., senior cornerback Brandon Stewart, senior corner Marnez Ogletree, senior linebacker Courtney Arnick, senior corner Chevy Graham, senior safety Bazie Bates IV, sophomore defensive tackle Daniel Wise, senior defensive end Anthony Olobia and sophomore end Dorance Armstrong Jr. In order to win in the Big 12, Beaty thinks building a reliable defense has to be the first step.

“You have got to find a way to slow these offenses down,” Beaty said, “and we are putting a lot of work and time into evaluation, making sure we get the right guys.”

Air Raid tweaks In Beaty’s first season offensive coordinator Rob Likens coached the quarterbacks and called in plays for Kansas. But once Beaty felt more acclimated to running the program, he took over those responsibilities for Likens, who remains on the staff.

Beaty’s love for offense and familiarity with the Air Raid system have him optimistic the change will mean more points and

full year ahead of schedule.

Both Evans, who completed his undergraduate degree this summer, and Lee are expected to gain immediate eligibility this season — though a KU spokesperson couldn’t confirm that Wednesday.

“I had been (at Arkansas) awhile and I just felt that getting close to graduating, it would be time for me to step out and go somewhere else where I could get some more (playing time) and get some more carries,” Evans told the J-W earlier this summer.

wear No. 23, Evans joins a KU backfield that includes senior Ke’aun Kinner, sophomore Taylor Martin, sophomore Ryan Schadler and freshman Khalil Herbert, among others.

Lee, a 176-pound corner who had offers from Cal, Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Texas A&M, Wisconsin and other programs, will wear No. 11.

Cornerbacks on the Kansas roster include senior Brandon Stewart, junior Derrick Neal, senior Marnez Ogletree and freshman Kyle Mayberry.

KU’s first preseason practice will begin this evening.

smoother, longer possessions this fall.

“It is a unique system,” Beaty said. “I learned a lot from (Texas Tech coach) Kliff Kingsbury, who is one of our rivals here. I owe that guy a ton, because he’s a smart dude and I learned a bunch from him … but we’re excited to be running what we’re running.”

Whomever emerges at QB for Kansas, the idea is Beaty’s version of the offense will play with more pace and find more quickhit opportunities.

The addition of junior LaQuvionte Gonzalez (a transfer from Texas A&M) should greatly improve the receiving corps, which includes sophomore targets Jeremiah Booker and Steven Sims Jr., as well as junior tight end Ben Johnson and redshirt freshman tight end Jace Sternberger.

Cornerbacks Kyle Mayberry and Mike Lee, defensive end Isaiah Bean, running back Khalil Herbert, linebacker Maciah Long, receivers Evan Fairs and Keegan Brewer, offensive lineman Cam Durley and quarterback Tyriek Starks all could factor in the Jayhawks’ success this fall.

Immediate contributors In a utopian program, the head coach would never need to play a true freshman. But that world doesn’t exist for Beaty at Kansas.

While no newcomer will open camp atop the depth chart, the most talented new Jayhawks figure to have a legitimate chance to play on Saturdays (and during a Thursday road trip to Texas Tech).

Asked what signs someone looking from the outside should seek to confirm that strides have been made up front, Gibson said, “Us running the ball better. Us being more confident as players, quarterback having more time to throw, being more confident in the pocket.”

As for signs of improved confidence, Gibson said, “Not getting down on ourselves and when we mess up

New voices The Jayhawks who played spring football know them well already, but the voices of a handful of new assistants figure to influence KU’s progress in the weeks ahead — both in meeting rooms and on the practice fields.

The turnover that accompanies the coaching profession brought in assistants Todd Bradford (linebackers), Tony Hull (running backs), Jason Phillips (receivers), Michael Slater (defensive line) and Joe DeForest (special teams).

“We’re not afraid of losing good people,” Beaty said, “because we know there are good people out there to come in and fill those gaps for us.

Every single guy that we hired, I knew ’em. Most of them I offered the job the first time around. I am really excited about our staff.”

in five-plus innings. He has allowed 22 earned runs in the first inning over 23 starts, including seven in the last two outings.

Jake Odorizzi had his third consecutive scoreless start for the Rays,

who are 7-25 against the Royals since the start of the 2012 season.

Odorizzi (6-5) allowed two singles, walked two and had six strikeouts in six innings. The righthander has not given up a run in 20 2/3 innings over the three-start stretch.

Enny Romero and Ryan Garton completed a twohitter.

Kansas City had three errors, and has three games this season where it has given up at least 12 runs and made at least three errors. It happened once in the previous six seasons.

Kevin Kiermaier hit a three-run drive off ChienMing Wang in a five-run sixth to put the Rays ahead 11-0.

After the final six batters reached against Wang in his previous outing July 26 against the Los Angeles Angels, the first five Rays got on Wednesday before he recorded an out.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Cubs rally in ninth The Associated Press

National League Cubs 5, Marlins 4 Chicago — Chicago rallied for three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning — capped by a bases-loaded walk for a tie and a wild pitch to score the winning run — for a victory over Miami on Wednesday and a sweep of the three-game series.

Ben Zobrist drew a bases-loaded walk with two out to tie the score. With Willson Contreras at the plate, Marlins closer A.J. Ramos (1-1) threw a wild pitch to allow Matt Szczur to score the winning run from third base.

It was Ramos’ second blown save of the season in 33 chances.

Jeff Mathis hit a tworun home run, Christian Yelich homered and drove in a pair of runs and Tom Koehler tossed six strong innings to give the Marlins a 4-1 lead heading to the bottom of the eighth.

Tigers 2, White Sox 1 Detroit — J.D. Martinez broke an eighthinning tie with a pinch homer on the first pitch he had faced since June, and Detroit beat Chicago for its eighth straight victory.

Playing for the first time since fracturing his elbow June 16, Martinez received a long standing ovation on his way to the plate to hit for James McCann leading off the inning.

The cheers got a lot louder when Martinez launched Sale’s first pitch into the shrubs above the centerfield fence.

Twins 13, Indians 5 Cleveland — Joe Mauer had four hits and four RBIs, Brian Dozier hit a three-run homer, and Minnesota defeated Cleveland.

Cleveland, the AL Central leader, fell to 4-8 against last-place Minnesota. The Twins have outscored the Indians 35-16 in winning the first three games of this series.

The Indians’ frustration boiled over when manager Terry Francona was ejected in the third inning.

The Indians’ lead over Detroit in the AL Central lead has shrunk to two games.
