County: Petition to investigate Kobach valid By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press

Wichita — A Douglas County official said Thursday that enough signatures were gathered to allow a grand jury to criminally investigate Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s handling of Kansas’ online

But ACLU, League of Women Voters say there’s no evidence of criminal conduct voter registration system. But even Kobach’s harshest critics say they have seen no evidence he committed a crime. The petition, filed last month by Democrat Steven

Area House candidates look toward November By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

With the primary elections behind them, local candidates in Kansas House races are now turning their attention to the general election ahead. Two members of the Lawrencearea delegation, Democratic Reps. John Wilson and Boog Highberger, can relax through November. They had no challengers in either the primary or general elections. But the remaining candidates will have to work for their seats LEGISLATURE in a year when, based on the primary election results, many voters are saying they want state government to move in a different direction. Democratic Rep. Barbara Ballard and Republican Rep. Tom Sloan both face challenges from the other party, while in the 42nd District, which includes parts of Douglas and Leavenworth counties, there will be a battle between two newcomers to state politics.

Legislators question KanCare contractor on backlog Associated Press

42nd House District Moderate Republican Jim Karleskint of Tonganoxie, a retired school superintendent, succeeded in unseating five-term incumbent Rep. Connie O’Brien in the primary election Tuesday. He now faces Tonganoxie City Councilwoman Kara Reed in the general election. “Kara will be a very tough competitor,” Karleskint said Thursday. “It’s Karleskint going to be a lot of hard work between now and November.” On paper, there aren’t many major issues that separate Karleskint and Reed. Both have been critical of the sweeping tax Reed cuts that Gov. Sam Brownback championed in his first term, and both say they want to provide more funding for public education.

and voter registration suppression by deleting registration data or obstructing delivery of voter applications to county election officials. Davis believes a grand jury is the only way to get credible evidence. Kobach didn’t immediately return messages for comment. Kansas is among six states that allow grand juries by citizen petition. Kansas’ law has been rarely used in the last decade, and when it has, petition backers have targeted abortion clinics or sellers of alleged pornography. Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew said Davis’ petition had the required number of verified signatures. The next step is to send it to the county’s top judge for a standard review. The American Civil Liberties Union and the League of Women Voters — both suing Kobach over voting rights issues — said they haven’t seen evidence of criminal conduct at his office. The league contends that Kansas’ proof of citizenship requirement is “bad law,” but co-president Marge Ahrens said the group hasn’t alleged that Kobach’s conduct is criminal. Davis said he also

Republican Rep. Daniel Hawkins of Wichita said his constituents have had to send the same documents several times after Maximum lost them. “Where the heck are these documents going?” he asked. “I want to know what’s happening, why that’s happening.” Ilene Baylinson, Maximus’ general manager for U.S. health, said the application process is complex and it is difficult to identify some documents because of poor handwriting or poor faxing. But she said the company is determined to do better. “This is fixable,” Baylinson said. “This is fixable and we will fix it.” The company hired 70 people this year to reduce the backlog but Baylinson acknowledged that it should have hired them sooner.

“I think the difference is I do have some experience in public service,” said Reed, who was appointed to a seat on the Tonganoxie City Council three years ago, and then was elected to a full term last year. “I know the district well and I know the community well,” she said. “I’ve been active in the community since we moved here. I think people understand I can do that at the state level as well.” But Karleskint, who now teaches as an adjunct professor at Baker University in Baldwin City, said he thinks he’s in a better position to address one of the most pressing tasks the Legislature will face next year: writing a new school finance formula. “We have to look at school finance in the sense of providing an adequate formula for schools, but that’s not going to be a simple chore,” he said. “The block grants they enacted (in 2015), they did away with the school formula that had been in place since 1992. It’s not going to be a simple task to get everyone together on a school finance formula.” According to campaign finance reports, Reed raised nearly $20,000 for her campaign during the primary election cycle, and she goes into the general election with more than $11,000 on hand. That’s significantly more than Karleskint, who raised $6,475 during the primary and spent much of it defeating O’Brien. He heads into the general election with about $2,000 on hand.

hasn’t seen evidence of criminal wrongdoing, but was advised when he recently ran for the Kansas Legislature not to use the state’s online system for voter registration drives because submitted applications are often lost. The Kansas Democratic Party acknowledged that it discourages the use of the online form for registration drives. Cheyenne Davis, the party’s field and political director, said the party has had “dozens” of complaints from people who used the online system and later discovered their names weren’t added to voter rolls or to a list of incomplete applications. She said the online system may be faulty, but she doesn’t believe there was criminal intent. The petition’s validation marks another headache for Kobach, whose office is already embroiled in at least four lawsuits over Kansas’ voter registration laws, including two challenging the requirement that residents prove their U.S. citizenship when registering to vote at motor vehicle offices. In Kansas, citizens can call a grand jury after collecting signatures equivalent to 2 percent of votes cast in a county in the last gubernatorial election, plus 100.

party in power,” he told the Journal-World in May. “I’ve been a registered Republican all my life, and my family is strong Republican,” he said. “I don’t feel that the current GOP represents the party that I belong to, and I refuse to be pushed out by being considered moderate. I call it reasonable. The party has gone too far to the right.” Ballard has been an outspoken critic of the Sloan Brownback administration as well. But after the primary elections Tuesday, when moderate Republicans defeated a large number of incumbent conservatives, she Manies said she holds out hope that the Legislature will be a much different body in the 2017 session. “From what I hear going door to door, I would hope that we would have more people that would provide a different direction, especially in terms of education issues as well as thinking really about our tax reform,” Ballard said. “Because 334,000-plus businesses are not paying, and the economy is not getting any better, we need some relief in that area.” Lindsey has indicated he does not intend to raise any money for his campaign. In July, when campaign finance reports were due, he filed an affidavit indicating he expects to spend less than $1,000 on the entire campaign. Ballard, on the other hand, had more than $14,700 in her campaign fund at the first of the year and raised more than $5,400 during the primary election cycle. She heads into the general election with just over $16,000 on hand.

45th House District Like Ballard, Rep. Tom Sloan, R-Lawrence, had a relatively easy time in his primary, defeating his more conservative challenger, Jeremy Ryan Pierce, for the second election cycle in a row, 70-30 percent. Sloan is a moderate Republican and is seeking his 12th term in the Legislature. He works as a strategic planning consultant and farms just west of Lawrence. Until last year, he had been chairman of the House Vision 2020 Committee, which focuses on long-range planning. But he was removed last year by House Speaker Ray Merrick as punishment for having moved a bill out of that committee that would have expanded Medicaid as allowed under the federal Affordable Care Act. “I think that the ma-

jority of voters in my district, and in Douglas County, believe I’ve been advocating the right things,” Sloan said after the primary. “A fair taxation system where everyone pays income tax, not just the lowerincome people; reducing the sales tax that we increased two years ago; and that we need to be investing and protecting our water and our air and the rest of the things that go into our quality of life.” “And then of course there’s education funding at all levels,” he said. “Pre-kindergarten, K-12 and higher education. We have been decimating the educational opportunities, and we need to repair that.” He now goes into a general election against Democratic challenger Terry Manies, of Lecompton, who said she’s ready to run a fully competitive campaign. “I have been extremely dismayed at the dysfunction I have seen in the legislative system here in Kansas,” Manies said when asked why she chose to run. “Also, I was watching things on the news and was not happy with the direction things were going in this country. I decided I could spend six months fretting about it or get up and do something about it.” Manies now works as a communications consultant but has had a varied career, including work as a research archeologist specializing in Viking culture, which led her to spend several years in Ireland, Great Britain and Norway. Based on statements on her campaign website, Manies holds positions similar to Sloan on several issues. She supports expanding Medicaid, supports increased public school funding; opposes Brownback’s tax policies; and opposes the state’s strict voter registration laws that were enacted in 2012. According to campaign finance reports, Manies raised over $5,300 during the primary campaign, spent a little more than $4,000, and goes into the general election cycle with about $1,100 on hand. Sloan, however, has built up a sizable war chest in his 22 years in the Legislature. He started the year with $44,100 in his campaign account, and he raised nearly $15,500 during the primary cycle. After spending about $8,500 during the primary, he heads into the general election with more than $51,000 on hand. The general election is Tuesday, Nov. 8. Advance voting in the general election begins Wednesday, Oct. 19.

Former KU grad student accused of falsifying visa application Lights & Sirens

Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

n the batch of felony charges filed against a former University of Kansas graduate student in the journalism school, one especially stands out: He’s accused of lying. Goran Sabah Ghafour, 34, faces two felony counts of aggravated identity theft and one felony count of visa fraud, according to a news release from Tom Beall, acting

U.S. attorney in the District of Kansas. As a part of an immigrant visa application for former Iraqi nationals, Ghafour falsely claimed that he worked as a translator for the U.S. Army in Iraq, the release said. Alongside those claims he submitted two letters — later determined to be fake — from a pair of Army brigadier generals.

The two generals neither wrote nor signed the letters, the release said. Ghafour’s falsified application was submitted while he was working as a teaching assistant in KU’s journalism school, the release said. Erinn Barcomb-Peterson, a spokeswoman for KU, said Ghafour graduated this May and is no longer a student at the university.

If found guilty of the three charges, Ghafour could face up to 12 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000, the release said. Ghafour is next scheduled to appear in court for a status conference regarding the charges on Aug. 16. — This is an excerpt from Conrad Swanson’s Lights & Sirens column, which appears on LJWorld.com.

Assisted living residence planned for Baldwin City B

aldwin City ComfortCare Homes plans to build a new memory care home on a site in eastern Baldwin City recently annexed into the city. Scott Schultz, president of Baldwin City ComfortCare Homes, said the new home would be built on the property east of Washington Street between Palmyra and Eisenhower streets. The property’s trustees, Raymond, Sally and Corey Dunn, have had the land rezoned from agricultural to residential since it was annexed in May. On Monday, the Baldwin City Council approved a plat for the property. It will be the third assisted living residence for individuals with Alzheimer’s or dementiarelated illnesses that Schultz and his wife, Linda, own. In 2011, the couple opened a six-bed ComfortCare home in Baldwin City at 232 Elm St. They added six more beds to that home in 2013 and opened an eight-bed Ottawa facility in 2014. Two more beds were added last year to the Ottawa home. Schultz said the goal was to pull permits on the new 4,700-square-foot, 12-bed home in October and complete it by March 2017. It will be different from the company’s current homes, which are all remodeled 1950s or 1960s ranch-style homes. “We’re going to build this from the ground up,” he said. “This one is going to be a little

during the contentious approval process for SPL and the associated Rock Chalk Park project. Commissioners back then said at least one of the eight courts always would be open to public free-play, since local residents are paying for the bulk of the facility. At Tuesday’s meeting, relatively new City Manager Tom Markus apologized for the administrative decision. He said he wasn’t fully aware of all the history related to the court issue. He said future requests to close the court during large tournaments won’t be granted, unless the City Commission decides to create a formal policy allowing it. Importantly, though, Markus said he thinks the city should consider such a policy. (My 13-year old son also plans to lobby for a policy that would prohibit me from wearing my 1980s workout shorts during games.) Markus noted that the city doesn’t have a written policy on the court usage issue. Rather, staff has just been making decisions based on what has been said in past commission meetings. Markus said a written policy is important to have. He also said the city needs to be mindful of how to have tournaments help pay for the facility, which has about a $1.5 million annual debt payment that the city has to pay for about 20 years. Plus, Markus said the facility has good potential to become a major tournament facility in the region, if it can successfully work with tournament organizers. “One thing I will tell you about the facility is that it is a hit,” Markus said. “It is a huge attraction for our community. It gets so much heavy use that I think you need to think about some other streams of revenue to support it.” The tournaments — in addition to creating sales tax revenue generated by visitors who come to town for the tournaments — also pay several thousand dollars in rental fees for the facility. As I’ve noted before, I thought the promise by the past City Commission

for tournaments is a new $14 million youth fieldhouse in Wichita called the Wichita Sports Forum. It has six basketball courts, 10 volleyball courts, a turf soccer field, a trampoline park and other amenities. It is a privately operated venture. The competition for tournaments is likely to do nothing but get more competitive. What type of policies the city creates for use of the facility could become a factor in that competition. But there’s also something else interesting about these projects. Both projects are part of larger retail and commercial developments.

commercial development is not progressing well around Rock Chalk Park. The zoned commercial property is still awaiting its first tenant. It seems that the city should figure out why the commercial part of this venture isn’t prospering. I’m certain that previous commissioners were counting on it to do so when they agreed to spend $22.5 million to support Rock Chalk Park. Spurring a new retail and commercial area to develop was one of the hopes of the project. Will the city have to consider offering some incentives to get that first business to locate at Rock Chalk Park? I suspect there are significant costs related to being the first business to break ground in the development. Retail incentives, however, are not a popular concept with this current City Commission, which doesn’t have a single member who voted for the Rock Chalk Park project. But, can Rock Chalk Park be considered a success if the commercial development doesn’t happen? Different people probably have different opinions about that. It is kind of a $22.5 million question. — This is an excerpt from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column, which appears on LJWorld.com.

Fest CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

That’s quite a jump from just two years ago, when the fledgling festival attracted somewhere around 1,500 people — exceeding organizers’ attendance hopes fourfold — to Southwest Middle School. “It evolved out of a coffee shop conversation between three people saying, ‘You know, we need to promote creativity in the community,’” recalls Jerri Kemble, the school district’s assistant superintendent of innovation and technology. “‘And how can we give back to the community and have something where everyone can participate?’” This year’s ConfabuLarryum, as in previous iterations, invites visitors to take a “hands-on” approach to creativity and the ongoing maker movement, Kemble says. Among the many (free) attractions: arts and crafts, kids’ coding classes, drones, 3-D printing and the ever-popular “Nerdy Derby.” In the spirit of accessibility, organizers are also offering a free shuttle service to the venue from the Boys and Girls Club at 1520 Haskell Avenue and the Lied Center parking lot, 1600 Stewart Drive, throughout the day. A shuttle schedule will be

Friday, August 5, 2016 available on the ConfabuLarryum Facebook page before the festival. ConfabuLarryum makes a point of being kid-friendly, but, Kemble stresses, there’s something for everyone. New additions to the festival this year include a health and wellness zone (in addition to designated areas for arts and crafts, science and technology), a Stomp Rockets launching with Science City, and adoptable pets (and a chance for kids to create toys for shelter animals) from the Lawrence Humane Society. For a full schedule of festival events, check out ConfabuLarryum on Facebook.

In education, there’s quite a bit of research and literature devoted to what Kemble and others in her field call the “Four Cs” — communication, creativity collaboration and critical thinking. But even those of us well beyond our school years can benefit from a little imagination and out-ofthe-box problem solving, Kemble says. “Those are the skills you need in the 21st century. It doesn’t matter what career path you’re on or what career you’re doing,” she says. “Those skills will serve you well.” — Reporter Joanna Hlavacek can be reached at 832-6388.

People who have had the virus before are considered immune, according to the KDHE. The virus is not contagious from person to person. West Nile spreads primarily through infected mosquitoes of the Culex species, though the virus has been detected in more than 60 different mosquito species in the U.S. The Culex species has been known to transmit West Nile virus; it is not, however, known to transmit Zika virus. The KDHE recommends the following precautions to protect against West Nile virus and other mosquito-borne diseases: l When you are outdoors, use insect repellent containing an EPA-registered active ingredient, such as DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, or IR3535. Follow the directions on the package. l Many mosquitoes are most active at dusk and dawn, but can bite at any hour. Be sure to use insect repellent and wear long sleeves and pants at peak times or consider staying indoors during these hours. l Make sure you have good screens on your windows and doors to keep mosquitoes out. Get rid of mosquito breeding sites by emptying standing water from flower pots, buckets and barrels. Change the water in pet dishes and replace the water in bird baths weekly. Drill holes in tire swings so water drains out. Keep children’s wading pools empty and on their sides when they aren’t being used.

Nephew’s diagnosis leaves niece neglected Dear Annie: My heart hurts so much. Last January, my nephew was diagnosed with leukemia. He is 3 years old. He is only a little boy. He is so strong, and he tries to be a happy little guy. My sister is always talking about my nephew and how his appointments go, and that is fine; I want to hear about them and to know what the next steps are. But here is my problem. I also have a beautiful niece. She is 9 years old. I know my sister loves her very much, but it seems as if she gets put on the back burner when it comes to her brother.

Olympic spectacle kicks off Pageantry, sportsmanship and nationality take center stage at Brazil’s Maracana Stadium for the Opening Ceremony of the Rio Olympics (6:30 p.m., NBC). Digital streaming promises viewers a chance to watch every competition. In addition to the broadcast schedule, NBC promises 4,500 streaming hours of coverage of 35 Olympic sports. Viewers can stream via NBCOlympics.com and the NBC S p o r t s app on desktops, mobile devices and tablets, plus TVs connected via devices like Roku or Apple TV. The app can be downloaded from the iTunes App Store, Google Play, Windows Store, Roku Channel Store, Apple TV and Amazon Fire. Streaming will be available to viewers who can authenticate their cable subscription. Those without cable can stream the games through a temporary pass that allows them 30 minutes of access for the first view, and five minutes for each subsequent attempt. Such wide access to the Olympics presents a real alternative to the regular coverage that too often involves hearttugging tales about members of Team USA, the ‘‘home team,’’ as well as an unusual emphasis on beach volleyball. NBC also hopes to expand the coverage and commentary with special reports from its former ‘‘Nightly News’’ anchor Tom Brokaw. A 50-year veteran with the network, Brokaw has produced reports for previous games that were typically about culture and history. During the 2014 Sochi Winter Games, he narrated a ‘‘Space Race’’ special recalling the rivalry between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. In 2012, he produced ‘‘Their Finest Hour,’’ a glance back at Britain’s resistance to Germany’s aerial blitz in World War II. During the 2008 Beijing Summer Games, he offered perspectives on China’s history and relationship with the United States. It’s also good to have Brokaw on hand because there’s always a chance that real news may break out during these sporting events. Scant days after the closing ceremony of the 2014 Sochi Games, Russian troops entered Ukraine. Tonight’s other highlights O Ashton Kutcher appears on ‘‘Shark Tank’’ (7 p.m., ABC, TV-PG).

Dear Annie: My friend and I were talking about people who threaten suicide if their partner leaves them. I thought this was just an immature and overly dramatic response to a breakup and not something the person making the threat had any intention of going through with. However, my friend revealed to me that this actually happened to a friend of hers. Her friend was seeing an older man who had another girlfriend at the time. This girlfriend threatened to kill herself if he left her. And then she did. So I guess my ques-

Close loophole The power to set a property tax should rest with elected officials, not volunteers on the library board.

he Lawrence Public Library skirted the city’s funding ax Tuesday night, thanks to legal maneuvering that effectively gives the library’s volunteer board — not elected officials — the power to set a property tax. That shouldn’t be. As Mayor Mike Amyx hinted during the meeting, the city’s ordinance governing the library should be changed to make sure city commissioners assume ultimate responsibility for city tax rates. Doing so is the only way to ensure the residents have the opportunity to hold someone accountable at the ballot box for library tax decisions. On Tuesday, commissioners approved a $240 million budget that increases the city’s property tax rate by 0.53 mills. Commissioners described the budget as a compromise because funding was restored for some items that City Manager Tom Markus had targeted for cuts in his recommended On Tuesday, City budget. Among them were Attorney Toni keeping the city Wheeler said auditor’s posithe ordinance’s tion, restoring language actually the city’s direcof arts and requires the City tor culture and Commission reinstituting a longevity payto accept the recommendation ment program gives city from the library that employees a board, as long as bonus if they have been with it is no greater the city for than 4.5 mills. more than five years. But the biggest reprieve went to the library, which got $255,000 more than what Markus had recommended. The additional funds — which accounted for more than half of the 0.53-mill increase — will be used to upgrade library staff salaries. Historically, the City Commission has received a recommendation from the city’s library board, but commissioners had the final say on the tax rate for the library. But on Tuesday, City Attorney Toni Wheeler said the ordinance’s language actually requires the City Commission to accept the recommendation from the library board, as long as it is no greater than 4.5 mills. Wheeler said the City Commission could change the charter ordinance to give final taxing authority to the City Commission. But such a change couldn’t be implemented in time for the 2017 budget. Amyx, who joined other commissioners in a unanimous vote supporting the budget, said the city was reserving its right to change the library ordinance in the future. No reason to wait. Now that the loophole has been identified, it should be closed as quickly as possible so that decisions on city tax rates rest with elected city representatives, not volunteer boards.

Let the geeks watch over internet Washington — As Russian intelligence agencies escalate their use of the U.S.-created internet as a tool of political sabotage, it’s haunting to recall the famous communist dictum: “The capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them.” Against this menacing background, the subject of internet governance — long an arcane topic of discussion among geeks and technologists — takes on crucial political importance. Who will protect the integrity of the basic structure of domain names and addresses on which the internet operates? What protects the world from future efforts by Russia or China, or the U.S., for that matter, to subvert a free and open internet? The hero of this story turns out to be a littleknown, quasi-private oversight group known as ICANN, which stands for the “Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.” It was founded in 1998 to take over an informal system that had been managed by an early internet guru named Jon Postel, an eccentric, computer-science professor at the University of Southern California. Postel and his techie friends created a structure for public use of the communications network that had been built in the late 1960s by the Pentagon. The engineers created a system of domain names — the now-universally familiar array of “.mil,” “.gov,” “.edu,” “.org,” “.net” and “.com.” To help users find their way electronically to

The underlying system looks more secure — and is probably best protected by ICANN’s global alliance of geeks, rather than any government or agency.” the right computer, they built a naming system that had minimal central management and great autonomy for users. The genius of the early system was that it was, essentially, ungoverned. “The internet had little control at the core and innovation at the edges,” explains Steve Crocker, the current chairman of ICANN, in an interview. Rather than bureaucratic rules and boundaries, there were engineering protocols. Postel died in 1998, just before the Bill Clinton administration launched its plan to charter ICANN to take over the operations that had been run, figuratively speaking, out of Postel’s shoebox of index cards at USC. The new corporation had a contract with the Commerce Department to maintain the system. So in that

sense, the U.S. had oversight, but ICANN officials say it was rarely exercised. ICANN also supervised Postel’s system of national suffixes, such as “.uk” or “.ru,” which helped other countries join the network. This unitary, unregulated internet quickly spread to every corner of global life and commerce. This technological Arcadia inevitably drew complaints from countries that resented ICANN’s U.S. base. These critics proposed a takeover by the International Telecommunication Union, a stodgy, bureaucratic U.N. agency that was headed at the time by a Russian-educated engineer from Mali, who was succeeded in 2015 by the Chinese deputy secretary-general. But the advocates of a free and open internet fought back. Fadi Chehade, an Egyptian-American who was then-president of ICANN, began campaigning to keep control out of the hands of governments, bureaucrats and potential censors. Chehade and the Obama administration both recognized that after the Edward Snowden revelations in 2013, the price of ICANN’s continued control would be severance of its ties to the U.S. government. Chehade made that pitch to Brazil, China and India — three countries that had been eager for ITU control. And amazingly enough, he succeeded. Chehade says in an interview that the argument he made was simple: If the ICANN-managed system

broke, “we no longer have one internet.” ICANN’s contract with the Commerce Department is set to expire Sept. 30. A few Republicans, led by Sen. Ted Cruz, are trying to block the transition, arguing that it will give away control of the Internet to Russia, China and other potential abusers. But Crocker and Chehade argue that continuation of this peculiar, independent, tech-driven body is in fact the only way to keep the system open and honest. Crocker explains the protections that ICANN has designed into the system. If any nation, or private hacker, tries to introduce bad information into the architecture, it will be detected instantly. And sabotaging domain names will be impossible because the information is so widely distributed. A committee of engineers, drawn from the U.S., Europe and Asia, will oversee the “root” system that Postel created. Another global panel of engineers will guard the system’s security. The genius of the internet is that nobody owns it. The vulnerability of the information that rests atop this platform was shown by the recent Russian hacks of the Democratic National Committee. But the underlying system looks more secure — and is probably best protected by ICANN’s global alliance of geeks, rather than any government or agency.

Letters to the editor

PUBLIC FORUM

LAWRENCE

To the editor: Recently, President Barack Obama pronounced Donald Trump “unfit” to be President. Based on President Obama’s example, let’s explore what it takes to make a “fit” president. First, you need to be raised devoid of any national pride, hanging out on the beach, smoking dope with your friends. Then launch your political career in the home of a domestic terrorist, Bill Ayers, who once bragged, “Guilty as hell and free as a bird.” He has presided over an economic growth of less than 3 percent for seven and probably eight years. He has made diplomatic blunder after blunder, failing to back the Green Revolution, ensuring Iran will have nuclear weapons, insulting our closest ally in the Middle East, Israel, deposing leaders in favor of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is just a front for al-Qaida, and calling an extremely dangerous terror organization the “JV” team.

This JV team is now reaching into any nation it wants and murdering innocent people in the name of Islam. President Obama has embraced the “Black Lives Matter” group that now silences opposition at any opportunity and has encouraged the attack on police officers. His administration has ignored the rule of law whenever it didn’t suit their agenda. Tell us, President Obama, what sacrifices did you make before becoming president? Unfit? Indeed. Scott Burkhart, Lawrence

Spend, spend To the editor: The city and county commissioners’ and school board’s answer to funding for projects is to raise taxes. What happens if taxpayers can’t pay more in taxes? Could this happen? Read the bankruptcies or foreclosures. Our leaders need to focus on what they absolutely need in considering future projects.

They wanted a new library. They need a new police station. You won’t be calling the new library to report a crime. The library, rec center and the T bus service cannot survive without taxpayer money. This is wrong! Those who use these services should pay for them. Some want more funding for art; others really need funds for food and medication. The city is losing sales tax dollars. We have lost Steak and Shake, KFC, Hastings, Blockbuster, Borders, and the Menards project is on hold. The city manager recommended staff and budget cuts, which the City Commission did not support. Why? Where has common sense gone? We need to say we cannot afford projects that are on the wish list. Do we really need a roundabout at Kasold and Harvard? The city needs to be careful with the spend, spend, spend mindset that has occurred in the past few years or Lawrence will be listed in the newspaper under bankruptcies. Scott Henderson, Lawrence

Topeka (ap) — The Kansas State Board of Education has approved a total of $7.2 million in additional state aid to 31 public school districts. But it’s not clear how much money the districts actually will receive after the board’s action Thursday. Legislators financed the “extraordinary needs” aid with proceeds from selling off an economic development agency’s

assets. The sale must generate $38 million for districts to get all their funds, and state officials aren’t sure it’s possible. Thirty-four districts applied for a total of $8.4 million. All but three received some funds. The largest allocations were nearly $849,000 for the Spring Hill district in Johnson County to help it deal with increased numbers of students, and nearly $687,000 for the Wichita district to help it deal with an increase in refugee students.

Obama: ISIL still world threat

President says U.S. keeps pressure up; also addresses Zika, Iran issues Tom Vanden Brook and Gregory Korte USA TODAY

President Obama said Thursday that the Islamic State appears to be shifting its tactics to “high profile” attacks on tourists in cities around the world as it loses ground in its homeland of Iraq and Syria. “None of ISIL’s leaders are safe,” Obama said, “and we’re going to keep going after them.” Obama said the threat of ISIL attacks in the United States keeps intelligence and law enforcement officials working around the clock. “I think it is serious,” he said. “We take it seriously.” WASHINGTON

Obama talks after a National Security Council meeting. The day has arrived. The most maligned Summer Olympic Games of our time start Friday night. The 2016 Rio Olympics, the Games of Zika and pollution, of crime and chaos, are finally upon us. No Olympic city in memory has fared worse in the run-up to a Summer Games than Rio. There were grave worries about Athens in 2004 and Beijing in 2008, but those two cities would manage only the silver and bronze to Rio’s gold in the “We’re scared to death of the Olympics” competition. Rio has taken a pounding, deservedly so. This city of 6.5 million has struggled mightily to put on the largest regularly scheduled gathering of the world. The economy is in recession, bordering on depression. The president has been impeached. The budget for the opening ceremony was slashed. Traffic is as bad as advertised.

But the focus of the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, is less on 9/11-style attacks because the terrorists realize they generate attention from attacks with small arms or even a truck as happened in Nice, France. “The possibility of a lone actor or a small cell that kills people is real,” Obama said. Obama’s comments came on the third day of a bombing campaign against the Islamic State in Libya, where U.S. warplanes hammered the militants. The Libya strikes signal an expansion of the fight against the Islamic State. Obama met at the Pentagon with members of the National Security Council to discuss progress against ISIL. Defense Secretary Ash Carter and Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, took part in discussions about the air war as it nears its second anniversary.

Global warming may unleash radioactive waste from secret base Frozen toxic sewage could emerge one day Doyle Rice

@usatodayweather USA TODAY

Global warming is slowly thawing out a once top-secret U.S. nuclear test site in northern Greenland, potentially exposing the environment to radioactive coolant, PCBs and raw sewage that the military originally believed would stay entombed for millennia. The hazardous waste from an

abandoned subterranean U.S. military base in northern Greenland could emerge by the end of the century, which experts say will turn into both an environmental and a political headache. This is according to a new, peer-reviewed study published Thursday in Geophysical Research Letters, a journal of the American Geophysical Union. Camp Century was a U.S. base built on the Greenland ice sheet in 1959. To the public, its mission was scientific, and includes such tasks as drilling for ice cores. But it also doubled as a top-secret site for testing nuclear missiles during the height of the Cold War. It

was a test base to see whether launch sites could be built close enough for missiles to reach the Soviet Union. The project was named Project Iceworm. When the camp was decommissioned in 1967, the base and its waste, including radioactive coolant, tons of PCBs and thousands of gallons of sewage and diesel fuel, were abandoned, thinking they’d be entombed for millennia by winter snowfall. Indeed, since being abandoned, at least another 100 feet of snow has fallen on top of that. “Two generations ago, people were interring waste in different areas of the world, and now cli-

mate change is modifying those sites,” said Liam Colgan, a climate scientist at York University in Toronto, Canada, and lead author of the study. Climate change has warmed the Arctic more than any other region on Earth, and the portion of the ice sheet covering Camp Century should start to melt by the end of the century, according to the study. The waste would then seep into the ocean. This would threaten the ecosystems of the fish and animals that the people who live in the communities there depend on, said Mike MacFerrin, a study co-author.

Russian presence is stain on Games

VOICES

v CONTINUED FROM 1B

give us a clue. In the 17 Olympic Games I have covered, I’ve never seen a more ubiquitous military and police presence than in my four days here. This is not frightening. This is good. If Rio succeeds in keeping the Olympics safe in this turbulent summer of 2016, it will have succeeded, period. What if the most depressing story line about these Games ends up coming not from Brazil, but from Russia? The International Olympic Committee embarrassingly allowed the worst state-sponsored doping machine this side of East Germany to enter these Olympics, and enter they will, 271 Russians out of an original team of 387. This means Vladimir Putin will have 70% of his athletes here, casting doubt over every event they enter, especially those in which they win a medal. Can you imagine what fourth-place finishers will think when that happens? The Russian stain on these Games will last long after they are over, but there are other athletes here, athletes from countries who are, by and large, playing by the drug testing rules. Interestingly, the complaints in the athletes village (many of them coming from those notoriously grumpy Australians) have been replaced by what appears to be an outbreak of genuine happiness. Perhaps the athletes are sick of being asked about Rio’s problems on the eve of the most important moment of their lives and are simply toying with us now. But it doesn’t sound like it. “I personally think everything’s super convenient,” decorated U.S. swimmer Missy Franklin said. “We’re really close to the dining hall, we’re really close to the transportation. We’ve had no issues with buses or anything like that. Everything seems to be running really smoothly.” A wonderful experience, Rio? Oh, but how about the water? “The water is a lot cleaner than everyone expected,” said U.S. rower Gevvie Stone, who also is a doctor. “People who were here last year for the junior worlds say that the water is significantly cleaner than it was a year ago. … That’s a pleasant surprise.” While the history of the next 17 days is yet to be written, you have to admit we didn’t see that one coming.

GONE FROM GAMES:

THE ANCIENT IDEAL OWEN ULLMANN, USA TODAY

These are ruins of the Temple of Zeus, the Greek god who inspired the Olympic Games in the 8th century B.C.

Olympic spirit loses its luster amid scandals, politics Owen Ullmann @oullmann USA TODAY

ANCIENT OLYMPIA , GREECE It was here on the Peloponnese Peninsula that the Greeks came up with an idea in the 8th century B.C. that remains inspiring nearly three millennia later: Let’s hold an athletic event every four years in honor of the god Zeus. These ruins include athletic training sites, mounds of earth showing what is left of an oval arena and temples to the goddess Hera and to Zeus. The modern Olympic Games maintain a link to this place by lighting the Olympic torch in front of Zeus’ temple using a parabolic mirror aimed at the sun. That occurred in April for the Rio Games that start this week. Yet the spirit of the original Games is far removed from today’s extravaganza, not only in time, but also in meaning. When I toured this site, our guide explained that the ancient Games involved much more than a tribute to Zeus. The

Greeks saw the quadrennial event as an occasion to halt wars and come together in peace For participants, the Games emphasized athletes’ pursuit of physical perfection — and also a spiritual mind. For the wider population, the competition was designed to bring people together as a closeknit community and to celebrate the power of democracy, the Greek invention of rule by majority consent. While looking at the ruins, I pondered what the modern Games — resurrected in Athens in 1896 — stand for now. I immediately thought of the current doping scandal involving Russian athletes and other forms of cheating over the years. Then there’s the commercialization of the Games, the billions spent on construction, broadcast rights and sponsorships that have brought great wealth to the International Olympic Committee even as many athletes (and their families) have made enormous financial sacrifices to qualify for their Olympic teams. And it seems every host country becomes embroiled in disputes over poor planning, cost overruns and last-minute construction problems.

Community and democratic spirit? So many Games have been exploited for political purposes. At Berlin in 1936, Adolf Hitler hoped to showcase his twisted Aryan supremacy views until Jesse Owens’ remarkable victories upended those plans. There were the Black Power salutes by U.S. athletes in Mexico City in 1968 and the massacre of Israeli athletes and coaches by terrorists in Munich in 1972. In 1980, the U.S. boycotted the Moscow Games over the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan and the U.S. got Soviet payback at the L.A. Games in 1984. At the Atlanta Games in 1996, one person was killed and scores injured by a bomb that Eric Rudolph planted to draw attention to his anti-abortion and anti-gay stance. The 2008 Beijing Games were as much about China’s debut as a great world power as athletic competition. Now Rio de Janeiro is on high alert with enormous security to prevent Islamic State sympathizers or other terrorists from wreaking havoc. The nationalistic spirit the modern Games unleashes also runs counter to the original concept: bringing everyone together to enjoy and admire the athletic prowess of the competitors. To-

day, most of us have become avid fans of our national teams, and countries compete to be top dogs in the medal count, as if the number of victories equates with being a great nation. This rivalry has spawned controversies over cheating by some athletes and judges who may be biased for or against a competitor based on their nationality. I’ve been a national homeboy, too. I always wanted to see Americans win, watch the Stars and Stripes hoisted and hear The Star-Spangled Banner during the medal ceremony. But now that I have a better sense of the Greeks’ genius when they invented the Games, I will try to watch the competition in Rio to savor the amazing achievements of the athletes, no matter what country. After all, while the Olympic organizers, politicians, coaches, sponsors and critics may have drifted away from the original goal of the Games, the vast majority of athletes remain true to that spirit: Work hard, follow the rules and do your best to show what the most dedicated and well-trained humans are capable of achieving.

U.S. MILITARY MAKES BIG GAINS ON ISIL v CONTINUED FROM 1B

Obama hopes Clinton, Trump keep intel secret Gregory Korte @gregorykorte USA TODAY

ARLINGTON, VA . President Obama said he expects both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton to carefully guard secrets they learn in their classified intelligence briefings now that they’re the major-party nominees for president. Obama said he would follow both tradition and the law “that if someone is the nominee, the Republican nominee for president, they need to get the security briefing so that if they were to win they are not starting from

scratch.” Obama’s comments came in an end-of-summer press conference following a National Security Council meeting. Though dominated by questions about terrorism and the Iran hostage deal, Obama also addressed — for what he suggested would be the last time — the campaign of Republican Trump, whom he has declared unfit for office. But Thursday, he seemed to mute his criticism, rebuffing a question on whether he would trust Trump with the nation’s nuclear arsenal. “At the end of the day, it’s the American people’s decision. I have one vote,” he said.

tion Odyssey Lightning. The U.S.led coalition began attacking ISIL fighters in 2014 after they swept through large parts of Iraq and Syria. The strikes in Libya have been requested by the Government of National Accord, which is attempting to expel ISIL and consolidate control of the war-torn country. ISIL militants are under assault in Sirte, their seafront stronghold. Earlier this week, U.S. warplanes destroyed tanks, military vehicles and earth-moving equipment. U.S.-backed ground forces in Iraq and Syria have recaptured about 40% of the ground ISIL had seized. Most notably, Iraqi forces have evicted them from the western cities of Ramadi and Fallujah and are focusing their attention on Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city. Gains have been made in Syria as well where local fighters have been closing in on Manbij, a key transit point for ISIL’s foreign fighters. U.S. and allied warplanes have conducted more than 600 airstrikes on Manbij, Army Col. Chris Garver told reporters on Wednesday. About half the city has been retaken from ISIL. ISIL has not had a successful operation in Iraq or Syria in a year, Obama said.

The military campaign isn’t enough, Obama said, adding that the United States and its allies have pledged $2 billion to help build up the Iraqi government. ZIKA VIRUS

Obama also talked about the transmission of the mosquitoborne Zika virus in the United States. There have been 15 cases in the Miami area. “We’re taking this extremely seriously,” Obama said. More cases are expected, he said, but a major outbreak is unlikely. But the complications for pregnant women and their children can be severe. IRAN PAYMENTS

Obama said the $400 million paid in cash to Iran earlier this year was not ransom to release U.S. hostages. The payment, he said, was announced by the White House in January, and this “was not some nefarious deal.” Instead, “we have the manufacturing of outrage in a story we announced in January,” Obama said. The one piece of news was that the money was paid in cash, he said, and that is because the United States had a strict sanctions regime against Iran at the time that prohibited wire transfers or normal bank relationships. The Iran nuclear deal, Obama said, is working. “By all accounts, it has worked exactly the way we said it would.”

TOKYO ELECTION IS A BIG STEP FOR WOMEN IN JAPAN — BUT JUST A START First female governor a symbol, and may signal a change in malecentric culture of Japan

Kirk Spitzer USA TODAY

As female leaders make new strides in the United States and Europe, Japan appears to be following suit — but still has a long way to go. Yuriko Koike, a former defense minister and TV news anchor, became the first woman elected governor of Tokyo this week, signaling a growing acceptance of female politicians in a society that men dominate to a greater extent than in other developed democracies. Only seven other women in Japan have been elected to head prefectures, a job that combines the duties of city mayor and state governor. In Japan’s parliament, the Diet, only 45 women were elected to the 475-seat Lower House during the most recent election in 2014. Japan ranked 156 out of 191 countries in female representation in lower houses, behind such countries as China, Iraq and Pakistan, according to the Inter-Parliamentary Union. The business world isn’t much better in terms of gender equity. Women head only about 7% of Japanese companies, the credit research agency Teikoku Databank reported in 2014. By contrast, 28% of chief executives at American companies in 2015 were women, according to the U.S. Labor Department. Faced with a population that is rapidly aging and shrinking, Japan could boost its annual economic output up to 15% by increasing women’s participation in the workforce, according to a 2010 forecast from Goldman TOKYO

Tokyo’s new governor, Yuriko Koike, meets with journalists during her first day at the office at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government on Tuesday. Sachs. “Koike’s election signals a growing acceptance in Japan of women in senior leadership positions, and it will help open doors for women elsewhere in Japanese society to some extent,” said Shigeru Tamura, a professor of municipal studies at Niigata University. “But her career is somewhat unique and it’s not a role model that others can follow.” Koike, 64, crushed a field of 21 candidates Sunday to claim victory in Japan’s capital and largest city. Already one of Japan’s highest-profile female politicians, Koike’s visibility is certain to rise as Tokyo prepares to host the 2020 Olympics. A longtime member of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, Koike bucked party leaders to run on promises to ease Tokyo’s severe shortage of day care facilities and improve child care leave — major obstacles to increased female participation in the workforce.

Polls showed Koike received heavy support from women, LDP members and unaffiliated voters. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has pledged to improve conditions for women in Japan, making it a place “where all women can shine.” He has promised to shrink pay disparities that favor men and boost spending on child care. Those are big problems in a country where the general expectation still is that dads will put in long hours at the office and moms will take primary care of the children. When he took office in 2012, Abe set a goal of increasing women in government leadership positions to 30% by 2020. But with many women lacking the necessary seniority, Abe later revised that goal downward. Abe unveiled a new Cabinet lineup on Wednesday with only three females out of the 21 members — the same number as his previous Cabinet. Koike will face serious chal-

lenges as head of the world’s third-largest economy. Her two predecessors stepped down amid separate scandals involving political funds, and the cost of 2020 Olympics — for which Tokyo will foot a large part of the bill – has more than doubled from original estimates. Koike, who is divorced with no children, has vowed to cut her salary in half and skip the opening ceremony of the Rio Olympics to demonstrate fiscal responsibility. She has said she will make “a quick trip” for the handover ceremony Aug. 21. Despite her rising visibility, Koike is unlikely to break the ultimate “glass ceiling” as head of state, according to analysts. “For better or worse, in a parliamentary democracy the path to the premiership still runs through parliament, and (Koike) effectively removed herself from that struggle,” said Tobias Harris, a Washington-based political risk analyst and a former Diet aide.

Early results of municipal elections in South Africa showed the ruling African National Congress in the lead nationally, while the opposition Democratic Alliance was ahead in three major cities. However, early indications showed that support for the African National Congress (ANC) fell below 60% for the first time, The Guardian reported. The Democratic Alliance (DA) led in Pretoria (also called Tshwane), Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth in Nelson Mandela Bay — cities dominated by the ANC since the end of apartheid in 1994. The elections on Wednesday could be the most closely fought test for the ANC since it took power 22 years ago. Cape Town — the only major city not run by the ANC — is expected to remain under DA control. — Jane Onyanga-Omara

WASHINGTON The recent plunge into presidential politics by retired generals is prompting a debate over whether top officers should be taking sides at the expense of their independence as military experts. Both political conventions last month featured prominent speeches by retired generals. At the Republican National Convention, Michael Flynn, a retired Army three-star general and former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, endorsed party nominee Donald Trump and unleashed a blistering critique of the Obama administration’s war on the Islamic State. At last week’s Democratic convention, John Allen, a retired Marine Corps four-star general, endorsed party nominee Hillary Clinton, praising her judgment and saying she was the best choice to keep the country “safe and free.” “The military itself must not be politicized,” said Wesley Clark, who ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2004 after he retired as an Army general in charge of NATO. Clark said elected leaders must depend on independent advice from military commanders without worrying about political bias. Maintaining a neutral stance has not been easy in a campaign where national security issues have produced vociferous disagreements. Trump has supported waterboarding — considered a form of torture — to get information from suspected terrorists. Clinton has come under fire for allegations that she didn’t do enough as secretary of State to respond to the 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador Christo-

Trump also has talked about ramping up airstrikes against the Islamic State and suggested at times that the NATO alliance may be obsolete. Trump’s public feud with Khizr Khan, a Muslim who lost a son in the Iraq war and spoke at the Democratic convention, has kept the focus on veterans and military issues.

“As generals, they have an obligation to uphold our apolitical traditions.” Martin Dempsey, retired chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

Clark said officers have the right to add their voices to the political debate, but only after they have retired. “When someone who is retired speaks out, they speak out on their own behalf,” Clark said. Others, however, say political activity by retired officers could undermine the military’s traditional non-partisan leadership. The appearance of Allen and

Flynn at the political conventions drew an unusual rebuke from Martin Dempsey, who retired last year as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. “As generals, they have an obligation to uphold our apolitical traditions,” Dempsey wrote in a recent letter to The Washington Post. “They have just made the task of their successors — who continue to serve in uniform and are accountable for our security — more complicated.” Generals and admirals are no strangers to politics, and many went on from military careers to the White House. The most recent president to make the leap was Dwight Eisenhower. Dempsey draws a distinction between those who turn in their uniforms and run for office, such as Eisenhower, and those who dive into partisan politics as former senior officers. “If they choose to run themselves, they become accountable to voters,” he wrote the Defense One website. “In simply advocating — or giving speeches — they are not.” “If the military does a good job, the president gets praise,” Clark said. “When the military doesn’t do a good job, the president looks bad.”

The newspaper says the attacker was identified as Dwayne Marlon Stafford, 26, who allegedly left his cell and ran down one flight of stairs to attack Roof. Stafford, who was jailed in January on charges of armed robbery and assault and battery, faces third- degree assault and battery for Thursday’s attack, WCBD-TV reports. Maj. Eric Watson of the Charleston County sheriff’s office said Roof was medically evaluated and returned to his cell, the Associated Press reported.

Five reasons why market is falling more fallout often than not since July 20 record high Brexit leads Bank Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

It has been more red ink than blue skies for the Dow Jones industrial average since notching a record July 20. But the Dow’s losses in nine of the past 11 sessions look to be a case of the “summer doldrums” and not the start of a coming market hurricane. The Dow, which fell 3 points Thursday to 18,352, has had trouble closing higher since its alltime high two weeks ago.

CENTRAL BANK BURNOUT

The Federal Reserve has held off hiking interest rates all year. Long-term government bonds in Japan and Europe are below zero. The Bank of England just cut rates for the first time in seven years. Yet markets aren’t reacting as bullishly to central bank support as they once did. “There’s a realization that monetary policy is becoming increasingly ineffective as a tool to promote growth,” says Joe Quinlan, chief market strategist at U.S. Trust. U.S. growth, for example, has averaged about 1% the first two quarters of the year.

As the presidential election heats up, “there is little conviction on the part of investors to make big and bold bets.” Joe Quinlan, chief market strategist, U.S. Trust

POLITICAL HEADWINDS ARE BUILDING

The unconventional race for the White House between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump is heating up. Questions related to economic policy are creating uncertainty and could result in weaker investment and consumer spending the rest of 2016. “With central bankers flummoxed by their ineffectiveness, politicians slinging mud at each other and more than half the country believing America is headed in the wrong direction, there is little conviction on the part of investors to make big and bold bets on the upside,” Quinlan says.

BUYERS ARE TAPPED OUT

“It’s a case of buyers’ fa-

tigue,” says Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott. “The big post-Brexit rally needed a pause until the fundamentals could catch up to prices.” Luschini says the valuation of the broad U.S. stock market is “a tad stretched” but believes stocks can continue to move higher as long as incoming economic data tops forecasts and the broad Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index can start growing earnings again. Earnings for the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index are on track for their fourth consecutive quarter of contracting growth, according to Thomson Reuters, but analysts see profit growth returning in the final two quarters of 2016.

OIL RELAPSE

Stocks are again being hurt by falling oil prices. Earlier this week, U.S.-produced crude dipped below $40 a barrel and entered a new bear market after topping $50 a barrel in a rebound rally that saw the price of oil roughly double. That was after hitting a low below $27 a barrel earlier in the year. “It’s all about oil,” says Randy Warren, chief investment officer at Warren Financial Service. “If oil continues to decline in price, eventually this market will (trade in) lock-step with the declining price of oil. Anything below $40 a barrel will bring out the sellers.” The market is “assuming that energy earnings will turn around and become a net-(positive) to S&P 500 earnings by next year. But if oil can’t hold $40 and higher, that assumption will be challenged.”

CORRECTION IN TIME, NOT PRICE

The Dow’s nearly 19% run since the Brexit bottom was “too steep to be sustainable,” says Mark Arbeter, president of Arbeter Investments. “The market was overheated and needed to refuel.” Arbeter sees the recent pullback as a “pause in the longerterm uptrend” and says the minipullback is being measured “mostly through time and not price.”

of England to cut rates Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

The Bank of England on Thursday cut its key interest rate for the first time since the 2009 financial crisis and said it will buy both government and corporate bonds in a fresh round of stimulus measures designed 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 has become more visible, prompting the BoE to roll out a package of stimulus measures it hopes will cushion the blow from Brexit and support the U.K. economy, which the BoE said has slowed “markedly.” The BoE pushed its key borrowing rate down to 0.25%, from 0.50% — marking its lowest yield on record. The stimulus package, according to a BoE press statement, includes restarting its U.K. government bond-buying program. It plans on buying 60 billion pounds worth of government bonds, boosting the total amount of purchases to 435 billion pounds. The BoE said it would start buying U.K. corporate bonds for the first time, with 10 billion pounds worth of paper purchases planned. The BoE said it will finance the purchases with the issuance of central bank reserves. The financial market reaction was bullish. The benchmark FTSE 100 stock index in London was 1.5% higher after being down 0.2% before the announcement. On Wall Street, the Dow Jones industrial average closed Thursday essentially unchanged at 18,352.

Car-hacking duo says industry must get ahead of issue Elizabeth Weise @eweise USA TODAY

LAS VEGAS The hackers who digitally hijacked a Jeep over the Internet a year ago have done it again — with a twist. In 2015, automotive cybersecurity researchers Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek showed how they could remotely stop a car and disable its brakes when it was going less than 5 miles per hour. This year, they unveiled a new exploit: while in the car, plugging into its electronic system to hijack its steering and brake systems, all while going at a much faster clip. While they’re clear what they’ve done is difficult, time-

consuming and not anything that’s going to be widely possible for years, they’re also insistent that by getting the word out now, car companies can get ahead of the problem and build systems that are safer. “Let’s make this harder to do. Any technology system can be leveraged by attackers,” said Miller, who spoke with Valasek on Thursday at Black Hat, the massive computer security conference in Las Vegas. The pair walked a packed audience through how they broke into their 2014 Jeep Cherokee’s code, found its vulnerabilities and were then able to engage the brakes, take over the steering wheel and set the parking brake — all while the car was driving at speeds as high as 30 mph.

ELIZABETH WEISE, USA TODAY

Charlie Miller, left, and Chris Valasek say the latest Jeep hack is their last foray. “We did our part,” Miller said.

During testing, they managed to drive their car into a ditch in the middle of a corn field near their homes. “A nice local guy

towed us out for $10,” Miller said. The new hacks work by tricking the car’s electronics systems into listening to the messages they were sending, not the ones the various computers on the car were sending. Previously they’d found that if a car was getting messages from both it registered a conflict and shut the entire system down. The pair both work for Uber’s Advanced Technology Center in Pittsburgh, but their car hacking research is not part of their day jobs. “It’s all nights and weekends,” Valasek said. “We need to get another hobby.” Fiat Chrysler, which makes the Jeep that the pair hacked, said in a statement to USA TODAY, “while we admire their creativity, it appears that the researchers

have not identified any new remote way to compromise a 2014 Jeep Cherokee or other FCA U.S. vehicles.” It said the demonstration vehicle was updated with security-enhanced software as part of a voluntary safety recall, which appears to have been altered back to a previous level of software for the demonstration. “It is highly unlikely that this exploit could be possible through the USB port if the vehicle software were still at the latest level,” the statement read. Research released this month by KPMG found that eight out of 10 consumers were worried enough about this issue that if they knew of a brand being at risk for being hacked, it would affect their buying decisions.

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

It’s Jobs Friday. After June’s sharp rebound after a May increase of only 11,000 new jobs, one Wall Street economist says the Federal Reserve will want to see “a string” of strong monthly job reports before pulling the trigger on an interest rate hike. Wall Street is forecasting July job gains of 180,000, down from 287,000 in June, which marked a snapback from May’s dismal number. The latest jobs number is one of two key employment reports that will be released before the Fed’s next meeting in September. But not even strong jobs data in both July and August will necessarily be enough to push the

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

Fed off the sidelines next month and hike rates for the first time in 2016, says Tim Hopper, chief economist at TIAA Global Asset Management. “The July jobs report will be irrelevant for the September Fed meeting,” Hopper says. “Too much is going on domestically and internationally for the Fed to hike rates.” There’s Brexit fallout, the Bank of England’s fresh stimulus efforts to avoid a bad Brexit outcome and U.S. growth slowing to a 1.2% pace last quarter. Not even a strong 300,000 print on July jobs would change his rate-hike timetable, Hopper adds, although he says the market would start to speculate on a September hike. “I would want to see a string of strong job reports to be convinced the economy is picking up,” he says, adding December is the earliest the Fed will likely move.

Burger chain’s burrito business burgeoning Q: Does Jack in the Box have any spring left? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Jack in the Box is starting to look like one of the winners from Chipotle Mexican Grill’s issues. While the company is best known for its burger chains, its Qdoba burrito business is showing strength. The restaurant’s performance made an impression on investors Thursday. Shares soared more than 11% to roughly $98 a share following the company’s quarterly results. The company earned $1.07 a share, which topped forecasts by 23%, S&P Global Market Intelligence says. Jack in the Box’s quarterly adjusted bottom line was 41% higher than the same period a year ago. Namesake Jack in the Box restaurants saw revenue rise just 0.4% from the same quarter a year ago. But at its burrito chain Qdoba, revenue rose nearly 9% during the quarter, turning into an important growth driver. Analysts think the company can continue to drive cost savings to keep the bottom line growing. The company’s adjusted profit is expected to rise 22% to $3.65 a share in the current fiscal year. But revenue growth is a slower slog, expected to rise nearly 4%. Given the difficult growth prospects, analysts seem to think the stock has had its run. Analysts expect the stock to be worth $97.23 in 18 months, just about where it is now.

Barely growing sales, ‘flattish’ profits enough for tech bulls John Shinal

@johnshinal Special for USA TODAY

While the technology sector’s second-quarter reporting season isn’t quite over yet, the final trends for revenue and earnings growth are “already established,” according to the latest report from Zacks Research. The figures in it suggest not a take-away number but a takeaway word, and the word from here looks to be “flattish.” Sales were up 2% year over year and profits were down al-

Wall Street’s expectations for fullyear profit growth in many tech companies are heavily dependent on the back half of 2016.

most 1%, according to companies representing almost 85% of the market cap for the S&P 500’s tech

component, which already have reported — meager numbers for a sector that once earned consistent year-over-year sales growth in the high single digits during periods of overall economic growth. It shows how revenue drops at icons such as Apple and Microsoft, as measured by GAAP, offset huge sales gains at giants Alphabet, Facebook and Amazon. The financial performance was enough to drive the overall market for tech stocks to near-record highs. One explanation, besides the diminished appeal of bonds: The revenue growth figure is well above that expected for the U.S.

economy as a whole for the period, now that the government has estimated second-quarter GDP growth at 1.2%. That’s consistent with the Zacks numbers, which shows those companies in the overall S&P 500 that have already reported posted a profit drop of 3.3% and a sales slip of 1%. Tech’s better-than-average growth — and cash dividends, in some cases — has been enough to attract new money into the mostvaluable tech firms. While only 58% of the companies in the index had reported results for the period ended in June, as of Monday they repre-

sented 84.6% of the aggregate market cap. That means the 42% of tech firms yet to report second-quarter earnings will move the sector’s needle only slightly. That’s a function of the fact that Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Facebook and Amazon are five of the seven most valuable U.S. companies, period. With central banks around the world struggling to keep interest rates above zero, and both the World Bank and the U.S. government cutting various economic growth estimates for 2016, “flattish” was enough for tech bulls to power the Nasdaq to 5,199.

In Joker, there’s a Method to Jared Leto’s madness

TONY BARSON, WIREIMAGE

Compiled by Cindy Clark

Viola Davis won’t soon forget the only time she saw Jared Leto’s Joker on the set of Suicide Squad (in theaters Friday), whooping and hollering on the back of a helicopter and madly unloading a gold-plated machine gun. The shootout scene already was anxiety-inducing, Davis recalls, “and him just standing there saying, ‘Ah ha ha ha ha!’ just freaked me out. It was an existential moment: ‘Where am I? Was I just transported to another dimension?’ ” It is the Joker’s world, and Leto just happens to be the latest guy playing the psychopathic icon, following in the purple-bedecked footsteps of Cesar Romero, Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger. “The Joker lives in a world of chaos and dances on the edge of sanity. But in mania, there are high points and low points, and we wanted to explore all of those,” says Leto, who respects the 75-year legacy of the comic book character in pop culture and the actors who came before him. Yet because the supervillain has been reimagined so many times, Leto adds, “it gave me the liberty to walk down a different path.” He’s well-known in Hollywood for putting all of himself in his roles, from gaining more than 60 pounds to play John Lennon’s

killer Mark David Chapman in 2007’s Chapter 27 to never breaking character for his Oscar-winning turn as transgender Rayon in 2013’s Dallas Buyers Club. Leto, 44, took the Method route as the Joker undertakes a mission to reconnect with his girlfriend, Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie). He says total immersion was key to his success in the few Squad scenes featuring the bad guy. “The Joker is a character who has no rules, somebody who has the ability to say and do whatever they want to. It’s pretty intoxicating to have that freedom,” Leto says. “Unpredictability breeds imbalance and the Joker thrives in that space.” “He did me more of a service than maybe he understands by keeping his distance (from the cast) and being so powerful and exotic,” says writer/director David Ayer. “When he did make his appearances, he made the actual shooting of the movie feel

like an event.” Getting ready for a day as the Joker was “intense, exciting, exhilarating, funny and strange” all in one, Leto says. He has also fonder memories of that one action scene than Davis does: “Very few people laugh when they shoot a machine gun with the glee that the Joker does.” Ben Affleck has a few scenes as Joker’s nemesis Batman, though he and Leto never crossed paths. (Leto is a big Batfleck fan, calling him “phenomenal.”) Suicide Squad is just a quick reintroduction to the Joker, and Leto is already scheming to find screen time with the Dark Knight — possibly in Affleck’s upcoming Batman solo film. “It could be the beginning to an all-new reign of terror,” Leto says. “I would certainly love to see the Joker put all of his insanity, toward getting rid of the Bat once and for all. That would be incredible.”

his ending was easy enough to predict. When we reported in June that the Hastings bookstore chain had filed for bankruptcy and had put the entire business up for sale, it wasn’t hard to predict that a buyer wouldn’t

be found. Folks interested in buying national bookstore chains probably have all their money tied up in Packard and telegraph collections. Indeed, Lawrence’s Hastings store at 23rd and Iowa streets will close in the

coming months. With its closing, Lawrence will be without a national bookstore chain. That’s the part that would have been hard to predict a decade or so ago. Those of you in town long enough remember

Attachment can be big obstacle in selling a home By Debra D. Bass Associated Press

It’s not the cracked tile in the kitchen or yesteryear’s fixtures in the bathroom. Realtors say that the biggest obstacle to a sale is often the seller. In short, sellers have to get out of the way, literally and figuratively. That’s no easy task, because people are often still living in a home that’s now on the market. There’s an emotional attachment that needs to be unraveled even when people think they are thoroughly prepared to sell. Realtor Ted Wight

said it’s a sensitive issue. “Sometimes people have really strong attachments to a home because so many wonderful things happened in the house. Now you’re selling and changing, and it feels like a loss.” So what does it mean for sellers to get out of the way?

Keep it impersonal Lynne Hart Herrera of Keller Williams Realty said, “The way a buyer looks at a home is very different than the way a visitor looks at your home. Think about a hotel. It looks really simple, clean, and there’s no per-

sonal or religious items. Some people like taxidermy, but if a buyer walks into a home they might only see dead animals on the walls and now that’s what they remember.” Rajeev Tailor of Portica Real Estate said, “Personalization is a barrier to the buyer. They don’t see the great space and crown molding because they leave the property distracted by, ‘Oh, that’s the house with them in the photo with President Obama or whatever. They leave with the impression of what was in the house versus the impression of the house. You can’t have a successful sale,

if someone can’t connect to the property.” Wight, of Dielmann Sotheby’s International Realty, said, “It can feel sterile to remove all of your family photos, wedding photos and pare down to a simpler life, but I tell people to focus on their goal and keep mementos away.”

Create a not-lived-in look Wight, who’s been selling homes for 14 years, said there’s an art to staging he likes to discuss in stages because “selling a home is probably on par with death and divorce.” He said that it can be difficult because suggest-

from time to time. That’s not the point. The question is whether city officials should rely much on those guesses to determine whether new retailers should be allowed to locate in the city. It could be argued that some commissioners over the years have relied too heavily on those guesses. It is relevant today because there seems to be a lot of national retailers looking at Lawrence. Most, I suspect, aren’t interested in playing a guessing game. As for the Hastings store, there’s not much to report. The going-out-of-business sign is up. Discounts are up to 40 percent at this point. National press reports indicate all Hastings stores will be closed by Oct. 31. I suspect it could be sooner depending on how quickly inventory is depleted. The more interesting thing to watch will be what comes next for the location. The Hastings store — located at the northeast corner of 23rd and Iowa streets — is highly visible at perhaps the busiest intersection in town. It is one of the larger retail spaces on 23rd Street. I’ve chatted with some folks in the real estate and devel-

opment industries, and they said there’s certainly been speculation that Whole Foods is interested in the site, and has been for quite some time. At about 40,000 square feet, it is the right size for a Whole Foods. I don’t believe there is any deal for the property at this time, and I would note that just because Whole Foods is interested doesn’t mean it will ultimately end up there. The site, even though it has some access challenges, is so visible that it is expected to draw interest from multiple prospects. I’ll let you know as I hear more.

Homes sales increase Maybe a jet pack store will go in at 23rd and Iowa. If you are looking to buy a home in Lawrence, you certainly could use a jet pack or something else to help you move fast. The latest numbers are out from the Lawrence Board of Realtors, and homes sales posted a nice increase in June. But the report also highlighted that the number of homes on the market continues to dwindle, and in some price points homes are selling in a just a matter of hours.

ing changes can feel like an insult at a time when people feel very vulnerable. “The hardest thing is maybe saying the color of the dining room is a little strong or something, and the (seller) might have spent months picking out that color and they just love it. But I tell them that off white or taupe can get you really far.” Tailor, who’s been selling homes for 11 years, said that if the worst thing someone says is great space, but how boring, you’re in good shape because, “The seller has to detach from the property so that someone else can

Momentum is key Wight said that the first few weeks can be easy, but eventually people get frustrated living in a home that’s on the market. “I’m constantly on the phone with clients to give them pep talks, but they have to imagine that the home is always in party-ready condition.” When showings are scheduled, Wight tells people to turn all the lights on and to even play soft music if they are able. Herrera said this might be the opportunity to start a new habit, so don’t consider it a burden.

In the popular price category of $150,000 to $200,000, the median number of days a home sat on the market in June was just three days, according to figures from the Board of Realtors. Here’s a look at some other numbers from the June report: l Lawrence home sales in June totaled 176, up 8.6 percent from June 2015. l For the year to date, Lawrence home sales are basically stagnant compared with the same period a year ago. Sales total 625, down 0.5 percent. The dollar value of sales, however, is up about 3.8 percent.
