hen Adam Sterling is sworn in today as a U.S. ambassador — the coveted pinnacle of a career in the Foreign Service — he’ll likely give some thought to how it all began: in Kansas, in the 1970s, when he was a teenager itching to see the world. “Nobody in my family had ever left the United States,” he said earlier this week in a phone interview from Washington, D.C. So not long after graduating from Lawrence High School in 1977, he found himself spending a magical college

Arts Center, city disagree on nature of budget cuts By Rochelle Valverde rvalverde@ljworld.com

The Lawrence Arts Center sustained a $55,000 cut in funding for building maintenance as part of the city’s 2017 budget, and years to come will likely bring more reductions. Arts Center leaders said the cut came as a surprise, and is moving the center closer to a private entity that may have to reduce some of

Wichita — The Kansas Board of Regents said Thursday that its top budget priority for the next legislative session will be to restore the $30.7 million that Gov. Sam Brownback cut out of university budgets this year, even though Brownback is asking all OF state agen- BOARD REGENTS cies, including universities, to study the prospect of additional cuts. The Regents’ decision came at the end of a threeday meeting in Wichita during which each of the state’s six universities offered wish lists for projects they would like to have funded. “We are going to include those (other projects), but as narrative, just to be sure to communicate that we have those priorities, but our number-one priority is to restore the cuts and the stability to higher education,” Regents President and CEO Blake Flanders said. At the end of the 2016 legislative session, lawmakers passed a final budget for the fiscal year that began July 1, knowing that the state likely would not have enough money to completely fund it.

Farmer CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Will Katz, president of the nonprofit Just Food board, said the filing of the federal charge goes a long way in answering a major question in the community. “One of the main complaints we have heard as a board is ‘Why hasn’t he been brought to justice?’” Katz said. “We have preached patience. It wasn’t our step to take. We’ve certainly cooperated and wanted the facts to come out.” Farmer left both Just Food and his elected seat as Lawrence city commissioner in August 2015 after it was revealed he had not paid more than $50,000 in federal and state payroll taxes on behalf of Just Food. He said at the time it was an oversight that the taxes weren’t paid. A month later, Just Food’s board of directors released results of its own investigation that alleged Farmer made unauthorized payments to himself of more than $52,000 in salary and benefits over a two-year period. On Thursday, Katz said the food bank believes the total is now closer to $56,000.

The allegations The court filing makes several allegations. They include: l As executive director of Just Food, Farmer “made adjusting entries in the QuickBooks and financial statements provided to the board of directors for Just Food to conceal his actions and embezzlements.” l After having committed the embezzlement, the court filing alleges that Farmer knowingly transported the stolen money across state lines, which is a violation of federal law. The JournalWorld has previously reported that Farmer had been living in Missouri after he resigned his positions with Just Food and the city of Lawrence. Jim Cross, public information officer for acting U.S. Attorney Tom Beall in the Federal District of Kansas, said that in situations similar to Farmer’s the suspect is generally not placed under arrest once charges are filed. “Normally in a nonviolent crime — crime that

“

Personally, this is not a moment where I’m pumping my fist in the air and talking about people getting what they deserve. It is really just a sad tale of what can go wrong.”

— Will Katz, president of the Just Food board

What’s next The next step in the case is for Farmer to appear in court for an initial appearance, Cross said. “He’ll hear the charges and the judge will inquire as to whether he needs a lawyer or whether he can provide his own,” he said. That appearance has not yet been scheduled, Cross said. The court filing holds out the possibility that Just Food could receive restitution from Farmer, but Katz said it was difficult to know whether that ever would happen. Katz said the board is not surprised that criminal charges ultimately were filed against Farmer. “We just want to see the process play out the right way,” Katz said. “Personally, this is not a moment where I’m pumping my fist in the air and talking about people getting what they deserve. It is really just a sad tale of what can go wrong. It is a story of someone making some bad decisions. “But there are consequences to actions. People are innocent until proven guilty, but there probably will be some consequences here.”

bers in the wake of the scandal to pay the past due payroll taxes. The organization also has put several new controls in place to ensure more financial accountability. An audit conducted after the incident found that the Just Food board lacked several key financial controls that likely made it easier for Farmer to bilk the organization. “It was shocking both personally and professionally in every way,” Katz said of the alleged embezzlement. “The lesson is you buckle down and try to do the right thing and trust the community to support a cause that is worth supporting.” Katz said the most important internal control the organization has added is the board members now have regular contact with Just Food’s outside accountant. Before, dealing with the accountant was left primarily to the executive director. Just Food’s investigation alleges that Farmer fired the organization’s previous accounting firm and concealed that information from the board. Thursday’s court filings held out the possibility that Farmer would be required to make restitution to Just Food, and that prosecutors could seek forfeiture of Farmer’s personal property to help make Just Food whole. Katz said it is difficult to know whether the nonprofit will ever get everything back it lost from the alleged crime. But Katz said the nonprofit is focusing on what it can control. Just Food is on pace this year to feed more people than it ever has this year, and Katz said the organization’s finances also are solid. “I would say the community really has helped make us whole,” Katz said. “We were going through a tough time and the community really helped us through it.”

Just Food’s recovery Katz said the Just Food organization largely has recovered. The organization raised about $60,000 from community mem-

is what most people call ‘white collar,’ no violence involved — the defendant is not jailed pending trial,” he said. “They just issue a summons and say you shall appear on this date.” In a press release issued later on Thursday, the U.S. attorney’s office said Farmer could face up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000, if convicted. Those penalties are maximums and could be less depending on Farmer’s criminal history and other circumstances. An attempt to reach Farmer for comment Thursday afternoon was unsuccessful. The court filing does not list a defense attorney for Farmer.

BRIEFLY $2M gift will benefit KU Med in Salina Salina (ap) — A foundation has donated $2 million to help with expansion plans at the University of Kansas-Salina Medical School. The gift to the Salina Regional Health Foundation from the Dane G. Hansen Foundation was announced Wednesday. The gift goes toward a goal of $7.5 million for the expansion. The Hansen Foundation has already donated thousands of dollars to the medical school. The Salina Journal reports the medical school opened in 2011 in a former nursing school dormitory. The health foundation bought a former bank building to relocate the medical school. Contracts for construction will be awarded in April. The medical school is expected to relocate in spring 2018, with classes beginning that June.

Woman accused of human trafficking involving a minor By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

A Lawrence woman is accused of human trafficking involving an underage person over the course of several weeks. Jakaynah Maylene Burtzloff, 18, was arrested Wednes-

day morning in the 400 block of Eldridge Street, just a block north of her listed address, according to Douglas County Jail booking logs. Thursday morning two felony charges of aggravated human trafficking were filed against Burtzloff in Douglas County District Court.

Between April 18 and April 30, Burtzloff is accused of recruiting, harboring, transporting or obtaining a 17-year-old person “knowing that the person ... will be used to engage in forced labor, involuntary servitude or sexual gratification,” according to the criminal complaint.

Burtzloff was booked into the Douglas County Jail where she is being held without bond. She is scheduled to appear in court at 3 p.m. on Aug. 18, when her charges will be read to her and she will have a chance to enter a plea. Lawrence Police Depart-

ment representatives did not immediately respond to questions asking for more information on Burtzloff’s arrest. Additional details were not immediately available. — Public safety reporter Conrad Swanson can be reached at 832-7284. Follow him on Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

County certifies primary results ——

Clerk says write-ins could be problematic under new rules By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

A final canvass of votes cast in the Aug. 2 primary in Douglas County did not change the outcome of any major races. But Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew said a new state law could add some confusion to township and precinct committee races in which write-in candidates were Shew nominated. The Douglas County Commission met Thursday as the Board of Canvassers to finalize the election results, which included counting provisional ballots that were cast. Provisional ballots had been a concern statewide because shortly before the election, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach enacted a new, temporary regulation that said an estimated 17,500 voters who had registered at motor vehicle offices without showing proof of U.S. citizenship would

Low-income families get outfitted at Back2School supplies drive By Joanna Hlavacek jhlavacek@ljworld.com

hen Kennedy Elementary School paraeducator Carmen Seusy returns to work next week, she’ll also return to the colorful backpacks, crisp notebooks and freshly sharpened pencils that accompany the start of another school year. Yet several of her students, Seusy recognizes, may go

without new school supplies on their first day back at Kennedy, which serves primarily lowincome families. For children whose parents can’t afford these essentials and aren’t capable of understanding why, the effects can be emotionally and academically crippling. “They show their frustration in other ways,” Seusy said. In her experience, that could mean anything from behavioral problems to sinking grades to

developing, at a very young age, the feeling that perhaps school isn’t for them. That’s why Seusy — along with Max, her 6-year-old son — decided to spend one of the few remaining days of summer vacation handing out school supplies to kids and parents Wednesday at the former Borders building in downtown Lawrence.

have to cast provisional ballots, and only their votes in federal races would be counted. But on the Friday before the election, a Shawnee County District Court judge blocked enforcement of that rule and said those voters could vote in all races. However, they still had to cast provisional ballots, which are set aside on election night and not counted until the official canvass. But Shew said there were only 175 provisional ballots cast during the primary. Of those, 129 were counted, but 46 were not counted, most often because the voters were not registered with the party in whose primary they tried to vote, or because they were not registered to vote at all in Douglas County. Five ballots were cast aside because the voter did not provide photo identification.

do it,” she said. “It just happens it’s very convenient for me because I live here. The chamber has always had very good intentions, which is why I joined the board in the first place. We’ve just needed to give it a little bit of attention.” She will be in the

office from 1 to 4 p.m. weekdays. It’s not a long commute to the job as she lives above her yoga studio next door, Kirkendoll said. Moreover, Brian Dennis of University of Kansas Small Business Development will be in the office from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesdays, she said. Kirkendoll invited residents to stop by the office to visit, expressing hope the space becomes a place people

can gather and enjoy a cup of coffee. She hasn’t had much traffic through her office yet because few chamber members or Eudora residents know about the office or her taking the position. That will change in the next week with the mailing of a chamber newsletter and announcements at the chamber’s monthly meeting.

“The reduction in funding is consistent with the written document that exists from the very origins of that center,” Markus said. “…That document says that’s their responsibility, so it’s hard for me to understand the argument then that we’re shifting away from some obligation that we never had to begin with.” The cut to the Arts Center amounts to a 50 percent reduction to the $110,000 the city is currently paying toward interior maintenance of the 40,000-square-foot building. The center had requested about $156,000 for interior facilities maintenance in 2017. Lawrence city commissioners at their meeting Aug. 2 unanimously ap-

That meant Brownback had to order allotment cuts at the same time he signed the budget bill into law. Those cuts totaled $97 million, or about 4 percent to all state agencies except public safety services and K-12 education. For state universities, though, the cuts were not distributed evenly. Instead of reducing each university’s state funding by 4 percent, the cuts were proportionate to each school’s “all funds” budget, which meant larger research universities like the University of Kansas and Kansas State University took cuts of about 5.1 percent of their state aid. That meant roughly $7 million for the KU campus in Lawrence and about $5.1 million for KState. KU officials are expect-

None of those came from voters affected by the court decision, and there were not enough of them in any race to change the unofficial outcomes announced on election night. There were, however, a number of lower-profile races in which write-in campaigns had an impact. Those were for township boards and political party precinct committee positions where it is not uncommon if nobody files for the seat. This year, seven individuals won races based on write-in votes, including one who will likely be elected because there is currently no other candidate.

. proved an approximately $240 million city budget for 2017, which forewent some other reductions recommended by Markus by increasing the property tax rate by 0.53 mills. But the majority of commissioners agreed with the reductions to the Arts Center. “We thought we were phasing it back into what the language absolutely says,” Markus said. Markus said the 50 percent cut this year was a way to phase in the changes so the Arts Center didn’t feel the full impact of shifting funding back to what the lease agreement says, The intent is to cut the remaining $55,000 in 2018. He added there was no good explanation as to why the city was paying more than what was laid out in the agreement. “If in fact it was a conscious decision, the question that remains is why

If in fact it was a conscious decision (to pay the Arts Center more than what the lease agreement specified), the question that remains is why wasn’t the agreement amended?”

wasn’t the agreement amended?” Markus said. “I suspect somebody didn’t follow the agreement at some point, or refer back to it.” Tate said she thinks the 50 percent reduction for 2017 and the intent to eliminate the interior facilities maintenance funding altogether by 2018 is not in line with the spirit of a public arts center. “Public support for the arts has been an important value in Lawrence since the Lawrence Arts Center opened in 1974, in a different city-owned building,” Tate said. “Removing public funding for the arts has happened

in the state of Kansas, but is not something we expect to see in Lawrence.” The city will continue to provide $30,000 toward scholarships that allow low-income students to enroll in Arts Center programs. The Arts Center had requested $60,000 for scholarships in 2017. Together, the interior facility’s maintenance and the scholarship funds amount to about 4 percent of the Arts Center’s $3 million operating budget, Tate said. The city, however, also spends funds over and above those two line items that benefit the arts center. The Arts Center previously operated out of

of enhancements they would like to see included in that budget. KU said it hoped to get $5 million over two years to expand its medical residency program at the KU Medical Center’s Wichita campus, and $1.3 million for a program to help at-risk, nontraditional students succeed in their freshman year. Regents did not specifically address any nonbudget legislative items that they want to address next year. But it’s widely expected that one of those will be to seek legislative approval to merge Wichita State University and Wichita Area Technical College into a single entity. The two schools proposed that during the 2016 session, but the bill did not come to the floor of either chamber. In the coming months, Board of Regents members said they plan to make policy decisions on several other topics that may also be of interest to legislators.

One item discussed during the retreat concerns board policies on the financing and construction of new facilities through public-private partnerships like the one KU used to raise $350 million for its Central District project on the Lawrence campus. Some lawmakers were infuriated when they learned KU had used a Wisconsin public finance agency to issue bonds for that project, even after they had told KU officials earlier that they had reservations about the financing arrangement. Regents also said they will continue reviewing policies about how universities should comply with federal Title IX rules that prohibit gender-based discrimination on college campuses, and how lawsuits alleging Title IX violations should be defended.

To make matters even more interesting, you do not need to be a declared member of the party of nomination to be on the ballot, so some individuals may be listed on the General ballot for township office for a party to which he or she does not belong.”

does not belong.” That did not happen in Douglas County this year, but Shew said he has heard of that happening in other counties. Six other people won seats as Democratic or Republican precinct committeeman or committeewoman on the basis of write-in votes. Historically, that has resulted in some people being nominated who don’t wish to serve. Precinct committee posts are the basic building blocks of party organizations. Every precinct is entitled to elect one committeeman and committeewoman. They, in turn, elect officers to their party’s county, congressional district and state committees.

ed to announce soon how they intend to apply this year’s $7 million cut. The Board of Regents plans to finalize its budget request for the next two fiscal years during its next monthly meeting in September. Once approved, it will be submitted to Brownback’s budget office for review. Brownback then will decide what items to include in the budget he submits to the Legislature in January. The governor’s office, however, is now asking agencies to submit contingency plans for a possible 5 percent reduction next year, in the event that the next revenue forecast in November comes in lower than the current forecast. When lawmakers return to Topeka in January, they will be expected to craft a two-year budget for the fiscal years ending in June 2018 and 2019.

City-issued bonds funded the remainder, and the city continues to pay more than $200,000 per year in debt payments on those bonds. The city also pays the utilities and service contracts on the building, which are about $130,000 per year, according to Assistant City Manager Casey Toomay. Though scholarship and building payments will not change, Tate said the interior maintenance funds are important because they help keep the center accessible to the community.

This week, Seusy and her fellow volunteers have distributed backpacks, pencils, pens and other classroom necessities to hundreds of Douglas County students in need. The annual Back2School program, which also provides new shoes to students in sixth grade and below, is a coordinated effort led by The Salvation Army, the East Central Kansas Economic Opportunity Cooperation, the United Way of Douglas County, Penn House and the Lawrence Rotary Club. Community donors collectively gave around $20,000 to the cause this year. Around 35 percent of Douglas County students qualify for free or reduced lunch plans at school, said Lt. Marisa McClure of The Salvation Army. Even in dual-income households, it can be difficult to spare $100 or more on just one child’s school needs, she said. For single parents trying to support a family on their own, it can be even more so. “When our families are really stretching their dollars, it’s stressful,” McClure said. “It’s emotionally stressful to think you can’t provide what your kids need, and the kids feel that stress, too. We’re trying to take away some of that stress.” It’s a struggle Deanna Milton knows well. The Eudora mother of four stopped by the old Borders building Wednesday afternoon, with her 14-year-old daughter, an incoming freshman at Eudora High School, in tow. As a single parent, she has turned to the

positions that provide interior upkeep to the building as well as allow it to be open to public for extended hours, Tate said. She said that in addition to being open every day for 12 hours, the Arts Center allows other nonprofit groups or artists to use the building at no or low cost. “We have made no decisions about what we will cut, but the fact is cutting interior maintenance of the building in half is something we are going to feel and it will have an impact on how open we can be, and how often we can allow free or low-cost uses of the building,” Tate said.

But this year, having just spent the last 12 months recovering from medical problems, she could use some extra help. “When you’re living on a fixed income, it’s a great resource,” Milton said. “There’s no other resource out there for school supplies.” Now, thanks to the Back2School program, Milton’s daughter will kick off her freshman year in style — with a brandnew, pink-and-black floral-patterned backpack on her shoulder.

Time to break away from toxic friendship Dear Annie: I need advice on how to sever a guy friendship that has become increasingly difficult. We first met on the golf course and played several rounds together. Both of us enjoyed playing and talking about the game of golf. But it soon became apparent that he has very few friends because of his attentionseeking, self-absorbed personality. He calls me on a regular basis, sometimes to discuss golf on TV and sometimes to talk about his various health issues, real and imagined. Now that he’s given up playing golf, we have very little in common. He spouts outrageous opinions on health topics, women, racial issues and politics. He is an unabashed bigot.

Hip-hop history on Netflix We all know the Bronx was out of control in 1977. So is “The Get Down,” the operatic six-part hip-hop history now streaming on Netflix. Intense, dazzling, slipshod, audacious and rambling — often all at the same time — “The Get Down” defies expectations while ignoring conventions. This is about the birth of hiphop, after all. It’s also from Baz Luhrmann (“The Great Gatsby,” “Moulin Rouge”), a filmmaker whose visual amplifier is always turned up to 11. “The Get Down” sports a sprawling cast to match its ambitious story. Much like the series, many of the youthful players are more passionate than polished. Herizen Guardiola plays Mylene Cruz, a sheltered teenager with a gorgeous voice set on becoming a diva and desperate to escape the confines of her church and her violent minister father (Giancarlo Esposito). She’s utterly blind to the affections of her piano accompanist, Ezekiel “Books” Figuero (Justice Smith), a dreamer who writes poems about his deepest feelings as well as the violence that left him an orphan to be raised by a resentful macho uncle. “The Get Down” unfolds as Ezekiel’s extended flashback, reflecting on how he collaborated with graffiti artist, visionary and martial arts comic book figure Shaolin Fantastic (Shameik Moore), and how they became hip-hop legends. The show contrasts the aching innocence of its youthful players with the spectacular grime and chaos of the preKoch era Bronx. Many of the scenes appear shot before a rear screen or a digital projection of period images of the still-burning urban war zone.

Fewer quakes Wastewater injection limits are a good way to reduce the occurrence of once unheard-of earthquakes in Kansas

udos to the Kansas Corporation Commission for continuing to limit oil field wastewater injected underground in southern Kansas. The move is designed to further reduce the occurrence of earthquakes in the region. Previous limits on wastewater injections have proved successful in reducing earthquakes. As recently as 2012, Kansas had no recorded earthquakes. But in the fall of 2013, recorded earthquakes started becoming a monthly occurrence in southern Kansas as oil and gas production ramped up in the region. In 2014, there were more than 120 earthquakes in Kansas, including 31 in the month of November. Last year, the Kansas Geological Survey counted more than 160 earthquakes, including 56 that were magnitude 3.0 or greater. The earthquakes began occurring after an increase in hydraulic fracturing, commonly referred to as fracking, which uses high-pressure liquid to fracture Some deep below commissioners rock the surface, freeing wanted to go pockets of oil and gas. Fracking itself further with causing the the limits. That isn’t earthquakes, the ultimately Kansas Geological Survey said. Rathmay be er, the practice of necessary. In wastewathe meantime, injecting ter — a byproduct it’s appropriate of fracking — into rock formations to continue underground was tightening the most likely restrictions and cause. The Associmeasuring the ated Press reports that in Kansas the results. extraction of one barrel of oil produces 16 barrels of wastewater polluted with oil and salt. The preferred disposal method is deep-well injection. Kansas isn’t the only state experiencing the problem — areas of Oklahoma near its border with Kansas now match northern California for the nation’s most earthquake-prone. In March 2015, the Kansas Corporation Commission limited wastewater injection to 8,000 barrels per day in five areas in Harper and Sumner counties, the most quake-prone areas of the state. That move has had an impact, as seismic activity has slowed to fewer than 10 quakes per month in 2016. On Tuesday, the commission added a limit of 16,000 barrels per day in the rest of Harper and Sumner counties as well as parts of Kingman, Sedgwick and Butler counties. Violators of the disposal limit face fines of up to $10,000 per day, as well as a shutdown of the well. Some commissioners wanted to go further with the limits. That ultimately may be necessary. In the meantime, it’s appropriate to continue tightening restrictions and measuring the results. Kansans should not be subjected to the risks associated with hundreds of manmade earthquakes per year.

What do elite do in anti-elite time? Aspen, Colo. — For 32 years, a group of Republican and Democratic foreignpolicy experts has gathered here each summer to debate strategic issues facing the country. This year the bipartisan group had a strange imbalance: None of the Republicans was prepared to argue the case of the GOP nominee, Donald Trump. Trump would probably be pleased to know that he failed to muster support from the Aspen Strategy Group, as this gathering is known. In a sense, he’s running against the elite foreign policy establishment that the group represents. He is happy to lose the Aspen primary if that strengthens his populist appeal in November. Trump’s shadow hung over this week’s meeting here. Fifteen prominent Republicans who had served in past GOP administrations met Sunday for a private soul-searching session that one attendee described as “painful and empathetic.” The next day, eight of them joined in signing the public declaration by 50 top GOP former national-security officials warning that Trump would be “the most reckless president” in U.S. history. “We’re seeing a mass exodus of senior and experienced Republicans from Trump on national security. They are deserting him because he has denigrated NATO, appeased (Russian President Vladimir) Putin and shown little faith in American power,” argued Nicholas Burns, director of the Aspen Strategy Group, who served as undersecre-

Bush. Burns had earlier announced that he would support Hillary Clinton for president. Trump seemed to relish this defection by the establishment. He described the 50 signers of the declaration as “nothing more than the failed Washington elite looking to hold onto their power,” and thanked them “for coming forward so everyone in the country knows who deserves the blame for making the world such a dangerous place.” What does the foreign policy elite discuss in a time of anti-elitism?

and immigration that have fueled Trump. But the conversation focused mostly on the technical details of strategic planning: How should the National Security Council staff be organized to give better foresight and efficiency? How can U.S. technology be leveraged to deter Russia and China? A convention of machinists likes to talk about its tools; so too with this collection of experts. What’s unusual about the Aspen group is that in a time of deep political polarization, it struggles for bipartisan consensus. Explains Peter Feaver, a Duke professor who served on Bush’s NSC staff: “Principled disagreement of the sort that happens in the ASG opens the door to both pragmatic compromise ... and persuasion, where you actually learn from the other side.” However elitist this may sound, such a consensusbuilding process is part of what makes American democracy work. Stephen Hadley, who served as national security adviser during Bush’s second term, is a prime example of quiet, principled, bipartisan public service. He didn’t sign the letter denouncing Trump, and he cautioned me here that foreign policy experts should pay careful attention to the growing public anger that “globalization was a mistake” and that “the elites have sleep-walked the country into danger.” “This election isn’t just about Donald Trump,” Hadley argued. “It’s about the

discontents of our democracy, and how we are going to address them. The genius of our political system is that these discontents are being worked out this year within our political parties. Whoever is elected will have to deal with these discontents. If not, the anger against the system may be played out next time in the streets, as in the 1960s.” Philip Zelikow, a University of Virginia professor who also served in the Bush State Department, argues that the global engagement Trump resists can be summed up in two simple sentences: “The future of America depends on partners and friends in the world. The future of America depends on doing business in the world.” Most Americans, even Trump supporters, would endorse these principles if they could be articulated more clearly, he says. With Trump running so hard against the traditional foreign policy consensus, there’s an unusual opportunity for Clinton to rebuild this framework in a way that speaks to the voters’ discontent — and also reweaves the narrative of American power for the 21st century. Prominent Republicans are helping Clinton make her argument. But she has to make the case that updated global engagement on trade, security and economic issues as discussed by this group of professors and diplomats in a pristine mountain resort will benefit the average citizen. — David Ignatius is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Kasold woes

LAWRENCE

To the editor: One lane going south on Kasold is already a problem! The construction at Kasold and Bob Billings has closed the right southbound lane from 14th to Bob Billings. Several days have seen traffic backed up clear to Harvard. So, how do we residents on Kasold get out? Last Sunday, for instance, I tried to leave Presbyterian Manor to go to Walgreens on Sixth. Traffic was backed up solid to the north way past Harvard. It could have been way to the Eighth street turnoff. Luckily a friendly driver stopped and let me cross over on 24th. Pete Anderson, Lawrence

Pay them all To the editor: A recent headline in the JournalWorld reads “What if Kansas paid its basketball players?” Why shouldn’t all students receive a paycheck for attending KU? After all, if it were not for the thousands of students attending a university there could be no basketball team. This would certainly put a huge dent in the college debt fiasco created by the fraudulent student loan scam that has been underway for probably 20 years. Providing each student with $40,000 a year for expenses would

come back to the university — anyway the lion’s share. And could be set up as an expense for doing business, thus a deduction at tax time. Sounds good to me. Add the source below to the university bottom line in addition to taxdeductible donations, there is no way our learning institution could ever go broke. I say let’s get on with it. Let’s start demonstrating some respect for ALL students and what they bring to our community. Also, please, all sources of tax-exempt donations are forbidden to interfere with university operations to include subject matter. Keep your special interest opinions and demands to yourselves. Richard Heckler, Lawrence

Leave Kasold alone To the editor: The city staff members who want to reduce a section of Kasold Drive from two current lanes to one lane each direction evidently don’t ever travel on Kasold Drive to see how busy that street can be with traffic. I travel Kasold Drive many times, as many other drivers do, to get from the north side of town to the south side of town. Please leave Kasold Drive as it is now. I don’t understand why any street that our tax money had been used to

construct two lanes for traffic would need to go back and spend more money to change back to one lane in each direction. And we sure don’t need another roundabout at the Kasold and Harvard Road intersection. As for the bike lanes, why do the bicycle riders need that one stretch of lanes to ride in when they ride on other streets all the time and eventually the riders would have to get back on the current streets? Please spend that money that is planned for the lane reduction and resurface Kasold Drive from Sixth Street to Bob Billings Parkway and construct and pave Queens Road. Please save our tax dollars and don’t make the lane changes. Darlene Hill, Lawrence

gusting that somebody would do that to him,’” said Angie Meyer, assistant manager at the Wal-Mart. “He said ‘go ahead and we’ll get him a bike and a lock.’” So, Wednesday, Abbott

caught a ride to the store and began to snoop around for some new wheels. And that’s when he noticed a shiny green Huffy, Meyer said. The woman he was with asked Abbott if he wanted to keep looking, Meyer said. “And he said ‘no, this is it, this is the one,’” Meyer said. Now, Abbott is back in action and as mobile as he ever was, Barnes said. “As long as he continues to lock his bike this won’t happen again,” Barnes said with a laugh. — This is an excerpt from Conrad Swanson’s Lights & Sirens column, which appears at LJWorld.com.

hen you’re known in Lawrence for riding your bicycle around town, any time spent without your wheels is too long. Fortunately, Dennis Abbott was without a bicycle for only a few days. Abbott, a longtime fixture of downtown Lawrence, reported on Sunday morning that his bicycle was stolen in front of Jefferson’s Restaurant, 743 Massachusetts St. Since that report, there has been an outpouring of support for Abbott. Tim Barnes, a manager at Jefferson’s, said Abbott has worked there and other downtown establishments for many years and folks around these parts are quite fond of him. “He’s super nice,” Barnes said. “I mean, he gets grumpy and grouchy, but he’s walking around in the heat all day, I’d be grumpy too. He’s a lovable guy and definitely a fixture in this town.” Tuesday night Barnes said he received a phone call from a manager of the Wal-Mart near Sixth and Wakarusa streets. They said the store would like to give Abbott a brand new bicycle. “Our store manager knew of Dennis and was like ‘this is pretty dis-

Airlines at risk from aging technology Old computer systems, layered together over years, need complete overhaul, experts say Charisse Jones and Elizabeth Weise USATODAY

The technical glitches that have plagued airlines like Delta, which was forced to cancel and delay thousands of flights this week, are unlikely to end any time soon. The industry is grappling with an aging, increasingly complex web of computer systems responsible for tasks ranging from selling tickets to scheduling flight crews. Where once software was used primarily to book flights and isNEWSLINE

sue tickets, today it’s now a matrix of overlapping, often disjointed systems that interact with mobile apps, track loyalty awards, and help the airline industry bring in billions of dollars through the sale of perks like extra leg room. That growing complexity makes for hiccups, and they are difficult to avoid. Some of the systems, like Delta’s, are built on top of systems that are decades old. For instance, Delta’s reservation and passenger service system is multilayered, built on a 52-year-old program called Deltamatic. “It’s a ‘Mad Men’-era computer

system,” says Henry Harteveldt, an analyst with the travel industry company Atmosphere Research Group. By Wednesday, Delta had been forced to ground or delay well over 4,000 flights, the biggest disruption to the airline’s operations since the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The fact that Delta, known for its on-time reliability, took days to get back on track illustrates the intricacy at play when so many systems have to work together. “They genuinely are a very reliable carrier and this is a tremendous aberration which came as a surprise to everybody,’’ says Daniel Baker, CEO of flight tracking site FlightAware. “I think it’s a combination of an extremely in-

As campaign rolls on, so do Trump’s lawsuits in Florida Greg Stanley

USA TODAY NETWORK

Donald Trump’s lawsuits haven’t stopped during his presidential campaign, perhaps most notably in the must-win battleground of Florida.

SOURCE Microsoft survey via Ipsos of 1,000 college and post-grad students ages 18-25 MICHAEL B. SMITH AND JANET LOEHRKE, USA TODAY

A Miami judge recently ordered Trump to pay a small businessman almost $300,000 over an unpaid paint job at his Miami golf resort, and a trial is set to begin Monday in Palm Beach County over claims that Trump owes refunds to 60-some members of his Jupiter golf club. The cases are examples of hundreds of lawsuits involving Trump in his adopted home state of Florida. He and his companies have been aggressively suing Floridians and getting sued by them since the New York developer bought an estate here in 1985, court records show. Trump argued that it’s unfair

to use lawsuits as a measure of his standing in Florida, a tightly contested swing state critical to his chances of beating Democrat Hillary Clinton. She leads by 2 percentage points in the RealClearPolitics.com average of recent statewide polls. “I have a great relationship with Florida and employ tremendous numbers of people there,” Trump told the USA TODAY NETWORK. “We’ve done well there.

Meet the shark that’s older than George Washington Life span of Greenland species stuns scientists Traci Watson

Special for USA TODAY

The Greenland shark has long been belittled as sluggish, homely and dim-witted. But now the species can demand respect: Scientists say it is the planet’s longest-lived vertebrate, or animal with a backbone. Eight of 28 Greenland sharks profiled in a new study in today’s Science were 200 years or older, by scientists’ best estimates. One

enormous female was aged at least 270 when she was caught — and she may well have been 390. That would make her possible birth date in the era of Rembrandt and Galileo. Even the study’s authors were astonished by the results, which allow the humble Greenland shark to steal the longevity prize from the bowhead whale, the previous record-holding vertebrate. The oldest bowhead reached a mere 211 years. The study turned up such mind-boggling ages that the scientists “kept checking the math,” says study author Peter Bushnell of Indiana University-South

who was not associated with the study. For starters, females can stretch 15 feet, which is longer than a station wagon. Those proportions mean the shark has few predators. The Greenland also has a low

metabolism, befitting the ultracold northern waters where it’s most often found. It putters along at less than half a mile per hour, “the tortoise of the undersea world,” says Chris Harvey-Clark of Canada’s Dalhousie University, who wasn’t part of the study. The biggest sharks probably “don’t have to eat every day. They might just have a big meal once or twice a year,” hypothesizes study co-author Julius Nielsen of Denmark’s University of Copenhagen. That meal most often consists of seal or large fish, but the Greenland is not above gulping down carrion, from dead reindeer to chunks of moose.

Child falls from Pa. roller coaster in 3rd U.S. park incident in 5 days String of mishaps prompts safety experts to call for more stringent federal rules for rides

A child was airlifted to a Pittsburgh hospital Thursday after falling from a ride at SoakZone park in Ligonier, Pa. The Rollo Coaster ride that was involved dates to 1938.

John Bacon @jmbacon USA TODAY

The accidents are a parent’s nightmare: a child airlifted to a Pittsburgh hospital after a fall from a roller coaster. Another brain damaged after falling off a Ferris wheel in Tennessee. A 10year-old boy killed on a Kansas water slide. The nightmares are reality and have all happened in the past five days, bringing renewed worry and call for safety reforms at amusement parks in several states across the USA. Safety experts such as Ken Martin have called for more stringent uniform federal regulations of amusement parks. They say that in the zeal to build more thrilling rides, some amusement parks may be building in more danger. “To have fun, you don’t need to necessarily be the tallest or the fastest,” Martin says. In the latest accident Thursday at a western Pennsylvania amusement park, there may be a silver lining, according to Westmoreland County officials. The child, whose age was not available, was conscious and alert after the incident at Idlewild and SoakZone park in Ligonier, about 50 miles east of Pittsburgh. Park spokesman Jeff Croushore told WTAE-TV in Pittsburgh the incident occurred on the Rollo Coaster, a ride that dates to 1938. “Our rides are inspected daily. ... Safety is always our number one priority,” Croushore told the TV station. It is the third major incident at a U.S. amusement park since Sunday, when a 10-year-old boy died on a giant water slide at Schlitterbahn Waterpark in Kansas City. Caleb Schwab was

riding on the “Verrückt,” German for “insane,” which is billed as the world’s tallest water slide. The park reopened Wednesday amid an ongoing investigation. The water slide will remain closed for the season. On Monday, three children fell more than 30 feet from a Ferris wheel when their basket overturned at the Greene County Fair in Greenville, Tenn. All were injured and Briley Reynolds, 6, remained in critical condition Thursday. The rides at the fair were being dismantled Thursday. The ride was operated by Family Attractions Amusement, a Georgia-based firm linked to an accident three years ago at the North Carolina State Fair that injured five people, the Associated Press reported. A 2013 study by the Nationwide Children’s Hospital, a pedi-

“To have fun, you don’t need to necessarily be the tallest or the fastest.” Ken Martin, safety expert

atric health care and research center, found that from 1990 to 2010, 92,885 children under 18 were treated in U.S. emergency rooms for amusement ride-related injuries — or an average of 4,423 per year. More than 70% of those injuries were in the summer months of May through September, for an average of 20 injuries per day. U.S. fixed-site amusement and theme parks — permanent sites like Disney and Six Flags parks — attract about 335 million visitors a year and water parks draw about 85 million visitors a year, according to the International

Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions, or IAAPA. In Pennsylvania, the Idlewild park features numerous amusement rides ranging from kiddie ones to two roller coasters. Park visitors must be at least 3 feet tall to ride the Rollo Coaster, and those under 4 feet must be accompanied by an adult, the park website says. The coaster’s two trains “carry riders up and down along a wooded hillside then turn around in a swooping curve and return to the station,” the park website says.

than 4,000 USA TODAY identified nationwide — reflect Trump’s blunt, take-it or leave-it approach. They reveal a neighbor, developer and business leader whose first response to even small disputes is often overwhelming legal force. More than half of the Florida cases — 150 of them — were filed by his casino to collect unpaid gambling debts, ranging from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands of dollars. More than 20 personal injury suits were filed in Florida against his companies as well as a handful of discrimination complaints against middle managers. What’s left includes condominium projects gone bad, battles over golf course memberships, property fights with neighbors and local governments, and claims by dozens of workers and contractors alleging he doesn’t pay even relatively small bills. A small shop that installed chandeliers at his mansion for his third wedding ($17,000), a paint shop ($32,000) and a group of cooks and servers hired for a special event (an average of $1,754 per worker) all filed claims in Miami and Palm Beach saying they were stiffed. Untrue, Trump said, that he’s left deserving small businesses unpaid. “When they do their work, I pay them. And if they do outstanding work I give them a bonus,” he said. “When somebody doesn’t do their work, they’re not going to be paid. And that’s how our country should be.” Small businesses in Florida and elsewhere have repeatedly accused Trump of stiffing them when it came time to collect the last payment on a job. Juan Carlos Enriquez, owner of the Paint Spot in South Florida, had a $200,000 painting contract as part of a dramatic $250 million renovation of Trump National Doral golf resort in Miami. But when the job was over, Trump’s company refused to pay the outstanding bill. Enriquez sued and spent more than two years in court. Circuit Court Judge Cueto in June ordered a foreclosure sale of the entire Doral resort to satisfy the bill, but Trump’s attorneys offered to

OVERSEAS WARNINGS ABOUT TRAVEL TO USA COULD HURT TOURISM

MIKE NELSON, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

From gun violence to Zika, problems make U.S. look less than desirable

Angela Waters

Special for USA TODAY BERLIN Government travel advisories are common for war-torn, disease-ravaged nations, but a growing number of countries are warning their citizens about taking trips to the United States. The United Arab Emirates, Bahamas, France, United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand and Germany are among those urging caution to U.S.-bound travelers. The concerns include mass

shootings, police violence, antiMuslim and anti-LGBT attitudes and the Zika virus. While it is too soon to determine if the warnings are hurting U.S. tourism, the warnings tarnish the image the U.S. promotes abroad of a country that prides itself on being a welcoming society. “All of the warnings that come from specific instances add up and can potentially erode the positive image of the U.S.,” said Tom Buncle, managing director of the Yellow Railroad, an international tourism consultancy in

Scotland. Buncle said the warnings about gays and Muslims may deter some from taking U.S. vacations. “If you are in any of those groups, ... you might feel threatened,” he said. Another turnoff is gun violence. “America has surprised a lot of the world because of all the mass shootings and the attitudes on gun control, or lack of it,” Buncle said. Foreign tourism to the U.S. is lucrative. An estimated 77 million foreigners visited the United

Passengers go through a security check at Los Angeles airport. Tourists from abroad are being warned of risks when they come to this country.

States last year, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council. They contributed $218 billion to the U.S. economy, according to the State Department. Countries such as the U.K. have added the U.S. — the state of Florida in particular — to the list of countries where travelers face a “moderate risk” of catching the Zika virus. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a warning this month about an outbreak in a Florida county north of Miami. European governments have warned about a spate of gun violence in the U.S., including June’s mass shooting at an Orlando nightclub that left 49 dead, and the murders of police officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge in July. France’s travel advice website informs citizens that it is legal for many Americans to carry firearms. Germany warns, “If you find yourself the victim of a gun attack, do not try to resist!” Xenophobia is another worry. The UAE released a travel advisory in July urging men not to wear traditional clothing after a citizen was tackled and injured by police in Ohio. Officers had been alerted by hotel staff who feared the businessman’s robe and headscarf indicated terrorist intentions. A Muslim couple was removed from a flight from Paris to Cincinnati after a crew member complained that she was uncomfortable with them. The woman was wearing a head scarf and using a phone, and the man was sweating, the crew member told the pilot. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s repeated calls for a temporary travel ban on foreign Muslims and people from countries where terrorist groups operate has added to the woes. Britain’s Foreign Office issued advice to LGBT travelers about laws prohibiting transgender people from using public bathrooms corresponding to their gender identity. “Attitudes towards LGBT people differ hugely across the country,” the website said. Despite the advisories, the U.S. “remains a first-rate tourist destination,” said Mark Toner, deputy spokesman for the State Department. “We value the enormous economic benefit that foreign tourists bring.”

IN BRIEF AAA: ROAD DEBRIS CAUSES AVOIDABLE CRASHES, DEATHS

From shredded tires to a sofa sitting in traffic lanes, roadway debris caused more than 200,000 crashes with 500 deaths over four years across the USA, according to a new report. About 39,000 people were injured in the crashes from 2011 through 2014, according to the study released Thursday by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. More than one-third of the deaths resulted from a driver swerving to avoid hitting debris, the report said. In other cases, cars struck the debris, sometimes setting off a chain-reaction of collisions. — Bart Jansen DEA: MARIJUANA TO REMAIN ILLEGAL UNDER FEDERAL LAW

Marijuana advocates who hoped the cascade of states moving to legalize medical marijuana would soften the federal stance on the drug faced disappointment Thursday as the Drug Enforcement Administration announced it will keep marijuana illegal for any purpose. Marijuana will remain a Schedule 1 substance under the Controlled Substances Act. Substances in Schedule 1 are determined by the Food and Drug

Administration to have no medical use. States that allow marijuana for medical use or legalize recreational use remain in defiance of federal law. The announcement, to be published Friday in the Federal Register, relaxes the rules for marijuana research to make it easier for institutions to grow marijuana for scientific study. The DEA currently authorizes just one grow facility in Mississippi. — Donna Leinwand Leger ACTIVIST WHO CLIMBED UP TRUMP TOWER CHARGED

The Virginia teen who audaciously attempted to climb New York’s Trump Tower using suction cups was formally charged Thursday with reckless endangerment and criminal trespass. Stephen Rogata’s climb Wednesday drew a live audience of hundreds in Midtown Manhattan and millions on TV and social media before it ended abruptly when police removed a window and wrestled him into the building. Rogata, 19, was taken by ambulance to Bellevue Hospital, which handles psychiatric cases. The teen, from Great Falls, Va., recently changed his name from Michael Joseph Ryan, the New York Daily News reported. — John Bacon

Attack lull ends as Israeli is stabbed by Palestinian Suspect sought in screwdriver assault; last incident July 1 Shira Rubin

Special for USA TODAY JERUSALEM A Palestinian man used a screwdriver to stab an Israeli man in the neck and back in Jerusalem on Thursday, the first such attack after a five-week lull in assaults by Palestinians that began last fall. The assailant, who was not identified, fled the scene and was being sought by security forces. The previous attack occurred on July 1, when a Palestinian from the West Bank shot at a car near Hebron, killing a father and wounding a mother and two children, according to the Israeli military. Israel has tamped down attacks by retaliating against the assailants’ families rather than cracking down on all Palestinians and provoking a widespread push for new violence against Israelis, according to security analysts. “Unlike in the previous intifada (uprising), Israel has seen

much higher rates of success in isolating the terrorists from their communities,” rather than applying collective punishment and further inflaming the tensions that spur revenge attacks, said Shlomo Brom, an Israeli strategy analyst at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv. Israel has revived the controversial practice of demolishing homes of the families of assailants. While the harsh, punitive measure often fuels the targeted families’ animosity toward Israel, it seems to work as a deterrent among neighbors who witness the demolitions. At the same time, Israel has been letting more Palestinian workers into the country and is planning to distribute thousands of work permits in the near future, a move intended to spare the wider Palestinian community punishment for the acts of a few. Since the violence erupted last September, prompted by false rumors that Israel would take control of the sacred Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, Israeli security forces have struggled to stem assaults by mostly “lone wolf” assailants armed with knives who

are urged on through social media rather than as members of an organized terror campaign. Israel’s domestic security agency said there were 103 attacks in June, down sharply from 620 last October. Since the violence began, 39 Israelis have been killed by Palestinians and more than 200 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces, most of whom Israel alleged were assailants. Elad Ratson, a representative of the Israeli Foreign Ministry, said the government has developed online algorithms to identify and take down online posts that incite assaults. In addition, other ministries have worked on a system to find potential attackers based on their online comments in support of violence and a desire to avenge the death of a relative by Israeli forces. “The largest amount of martyrs have been teenagers who are looking for fame through Facebook,” said Murad Ruben, 24, a factory worker here. He said that there have been a number of assailants from the neighborhood, but after nearly a year of home demolitions and arrests, “people are tired and things have become much quieter.”

2 dead, several missing after gas explosion Karina Shedrofsky USA TODAY

At least two people were killed and several remained missing after a natural gas explosion and fire leveled an apartment building late Wednesday in the Washington suburb of Silver Spring, fire officials said. Assistant Chief Russ Hamill of the Montgomery County Police told reporters Thursday that two bodies were found in the ruins and that the scene would be handled as a “death investigation.” Hamill said 34 people, including three firefighters, were taken to the hospital. Many of the injuries were sustained by people jumping out of windows, according to Montgomery County Fire Chief Scott Goldstein, WJLA-TV reported. “People were dropping children and jumping out of other windows,” he said. “Everybody was getting out of the building as rapidly as possible.” Injuries included abrasions, broken bones, burns and smoke inhalation. Around midday Thursday, relatives of missing family members stood vigil near the burned-out structure. Goldstein said each unit contained a natural gas furnace and a stove.

Bystanders take photos Thursday after an overnight explosion and fire destroyed an apartment building in the Flower Branch Apartments complex in Silver Spring, Md. most two hours to put out the fire and turn off the gas. Montgomery County Fire and EMS spokesman Pete Piringer tweeted that more than 160 firefighters and emergency workers made “numerous rescues” at Flower Branch Apartments. Rescue efforts were hampered by power lines and the natural gas fueling the blaze, he said. The fire displaced nearly 100 people and damaged multiple buildings, fire officials said. Firefighters reported part of a building collapsed. Debris on adjacent streets and parking

lots indicated an explosion, Piringer tweeted. Tom Hucker, a Montgomery County Council member, said he saw “a lot of people in some degree of shock all over the sidewalks,” when he arrived on the scene a few minutes after hearing the explosion from his home a few blocks away. Flames towered over the three-story apartment building at the height of the blaze, he said. The explosion that ripped through the building left piles of glass and wood debris and sent pieces flying into a parking lot 150 feet away, he added.

Macy’s will close approximately 100 stores next year as the department store continues to pare back its business in the face of changing shopping patterns and more online competition. The company announced a series of strategic changes Thursday aimed at setting up the retailer for more sustained growth in the future. The plan includes bringing in more brand shops within the stores, improving online search and ordering and hosting in-store events to drive traffic. The 100 closures, about 15% of Macy’s 675 full-line locations, are only the latest round of closures Macy’s has done in recent years to cast off stores where profitability has waned. Macy’s hasn’t announced which locations will close but said they represent about $1 billion in annual sales, excluding sales the company expects to retain online or at nearby stores. That’s nearly 4% of Macy’s total annual sales in 2015. Macy’s has been undergoing significant transformations lately to try to become more valuable to shoppers who have hundreds of other options to choose from, online or off. Now, the company is rethinking the role physical stores play in an environment where fewer people see the need to shop

Facebook is altering the formula that determines what its 1.71 billion users see when they log into the social network to give priority to posts that make them feel informed, the Silicon Valley tech giant said Thursday. It’s the latest in a series of changes to guide Facebook users to compelling content — be it status updates from friends, news articles about current events or the latest about their favorite celebrity — that sucks them in longer and keeps them coming back. Facebook says its goal is to put the updates that are most important to each individual user highest in their News Feed, yet Facebook users often complain that News Feed, coming up on its 10th anniversary, doesn’t know what they want to see there. News Feed is critical to Facebook’s success. The more time users spend in it, the more ads Facebook can show them. SAN FRANCISCO

in them, Macy’s President Jeff Gennette said. “We decided to close a larger number of stores proactively so we can invest in a winning customer experience in our most productive and highestpotential locations,” he said in a statement. Gennette will take the CEO post from Terry Lundgren in early 2017. The closures are generally seen as a good idea by analysts who follow the company because they’ll allow Macy’s to focus more on

digital investments and improving the better-performing stores. “We are encouraged by the fact that Macy’s sees this move as part of a wider program to reinvent itself and will direct the savings from shuttered stores into its remaining locations,” Neil Saunders, CEO of retail research firm Conlumino, wrote in a note Thursday. Macy’s also announced secondquarter results Thursday — sales fell 3.9% to about $5.9 billion, beating analyst expectations for sales of $5.8 billion, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Sales at stores open at least a year fell 2%. The company also beat earnings estimates for 48 cents a share — excluding certain onetime costs, it earned 54 cents a share. Investors seemed pleased with the financial performance and plans to become a leaner business. Shares surged nearly 17% in afternoon trading. Trends that have plagued the company in recent quarters seemed to level off, as summer travel led to a smaller decline in tourist spending and weather patterns became more normal, driving up sales in apparel. Transactions fell 5% in the quarter and tourist credit card sales were down 12%, but the company noted that was better than a 20% drop in the first quarter. Macy’s is also in talks to sell its men’s store in San Francisco, which would likely result in the store closing.

The more time users spend in News Feed, the more ads Facebook can show them.

Last week Facebook said it was weeding out junk by cracking down on “clickbait,” articles with misleading or vague headlines that lure people into clicking on them. In June, Facebook said it would give preference to posts from friends and family over content from public figures and publishers. To define what is “informative” to people, Facebook had users in its “Feed Quality Program” rate posts from local news to hobbies to recipes on a scale of one to five, one being “really not informative” and five being “really informative.” The Feed Quality Program surveys the opinions of tens of thousands of people a day, Facebook said. From there, Facebook developed a methodology — a ranking signal combined with how relevant the story might be to you personally — to predict which of the posts would most interest individual users, taking into account their relationship to the person or publisher and what they typically choose to click on, comment on or share.

Arianna Huffington leaving ‘The Huffington Post’

Founder, editor in chief says she has funding for new wellness media venture, Thrive Global Roger Yu

@ByRogerYu USA TODAY

Arianna Huffington, founder of the pioneering digital news operation that bears her name, said Thursday she will step down as editor in chief of The Huffington Post to start a new venture, ending her controversial reign at the liberal online news company. Huffington, 66, has held talks in recent weeks with venture capitalists to fund her new media company, Thrive Global, which will launch in November and provide content and training seminars on wellness. Thrive closed a new round of funding, led by other co-founders of The Huffington Post, she said. In a staff memo, Tim Arm-

strong, CEO of AOL, which owns The Huffington Post, said an interim editorial committee of other top editors will perform Arianna’s role for now. “When I decided to create Thrive Global, I thought it would be possible to build a start-up and continue as editor in chief of The Huffington Post,” Huffington said in a statement. “Today, it’s clear that was an illusion. ... It became clear to me that I simply couldn’t do justice to both companies.” Her departure creates a whopping void at The Huffington Post, a pioneering news venture that had an immense impact on the way online newsrooms publish around the world. Founded in 2005 as a liberal alternative to the conservative news aggregator site the Drudge Report, The Huffington Post drew heavy criticism

for repackaging other news agencies’ stories with “clickbait” headlines and posting blogs written by unpaid contributors. But its tactics were widely imitated by other news start-ups and traditional media companies. In recent years, The Huffington Post began enlarging its staff to

pursue original reporting and broadened its coverage. In 2012, it won a Pulitzer Prize for a series on wounded veterans. In 2011, she and other shareholders of The Huffington Post sold it to AOL for about $315 million. She was then named president and editor-in-chief of the newly created Huffington Post Media Group, which houses her site and other AOL digital news properties, such as Engadget, TechCrunch and MapQuest. Her role and influence in the combined company have been questioned amid reports she and

Armstrong were frequently at odds about the direction of the new media group. The management structure became more complicated when Verizon paid $4.4 billion to buy AOL last year. Earlier this year, Verizon expanded its media business by agreeing to pay $4.8 billion to buy Yahoo’s Web properties, including Yahoo Finance and Yahoo News. Huffington stayed on after the Verizon-AOL deal closed, but signs that she was restless and ready for new ventures emerged in recent years. In 2010, she gave a Ted Talk speech about the importance of sleep and wrote a book this year about the topic, The Sleep Revolution: Transforming Your Life, One Night at a Time. Last year, she authored another book on well-being, Thrive: The Third Metric to Redefining Success and Creating a Life of Well-Being, Wisdom, and Wonder. The idea for a related start-up company soon followed.

The collaborative effort represents an update to the 2012 “Limit Up-Limit Down” rule the SEC approved on pilot basis to prevent trades in individual stocks outside of specified price bands. Used during times of volatility, the rule allows investors to continue stock trades that fall within the price bands, but halts trading above or below those limits. The exchanges said their ef-

USA’s portfolio allocation by foreign investment Here’s how America’s individual investors are performing based on data from SigFig online investment tracking service:

for the first time since April 21, 1998, says Sam Stovall, U.S. equity strategist at S&P Global Market Intelligence. All three indexes hitting all-time highs on the same day has only happened 173 times since 1978. Investors love the confirmation of new highs, but now that a week has passed, the question is what’s next. Know that when other investors are paying up for stocks, future returns can be disappointing, at least using history as a guide. In the three-, six- and 12-month periods following the Nasdaq, S&P 500 and S&P SmallCap 600 hitting new highs on the same day, returns were subpar. Stocks were higher in those subsequent periods, but by less than usual. When stocks hit highs, history says it’s wise for “investors to temper their enthusiasm,” Stovall says.

In March, nearly 20 financial firms sent the SEC an open letter that urged changes in existing market rules “to limit the likelihood of a similar event occurring in the future.” Three of the companies, BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street Global Advisors, on Thursday called the new plans “an important step towards improving equity market structure” that would “protect investors and promote fair and orderly markets.”

2 hours, 3 minutes

Suicide Squad

The Get Down is very Baz Luhrmann, more (and then) less. And in this case, less is more. Those familiar with this Australian auteur’s work from such PREVIEW films as Moulin ROBERT BIANCO Rouge!, The Great Gatsby and Romeo + Juliet will no doubt recognize his touch in Netflix’s The Get Down (Friday, eeeE out of four): the wild flourishes, the unnatural flashes of color, the often clashing styles and tones.

What they’ve promised is a joyous celebration of the era’s music: hip-hop, of course, but also disco and punk. And while the story is not without its grim elements — crime, drugs, gangs and pervasive poverty — it’s lifted and energized by the delight the main characters take in singing, dancing and creating. You can take delight in the young actors, starting with Justice Smith as Ezekiel, an orphan expressing his pain through poetry, and Herizen Guardiola as Mylene, a church singer who wants to be a disco star, to the horror of her strict preacher father (Giancarlo Esposito). Ezekiel is born to be a lyricist, but he doesn’t know

that until he runs afoul of graffiti hero Shaolin Fantastic (Shameik Moore), who yearns to be a DJ. These three kids with a dream are off on a wild adventure, where it’s sometimes too easy to see the next beat coming. Still, if the story has been told before, it’s seldom been told about this group of people, and has never been told in precisely this way. This is myth in the making, laced with magic and martial arts and who knows what else. Some will grow bored with the style when the substance falters, but others are likely to be enchanted — particularly those who feel it’s time hip-hop finally got its own cinematic celebration. If that’s what you want, get down on it.

J. Wilson’s going for ‘casual but chic’ vibe Town Talk

Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

suspect the idea of upscale dining for John Wilson — the founder of North Lawrence’s Johnny’s Tavern — may have involved extra salt on the bowl of peanuts at the bar. Or if it was an anniversary dinner, or something like that, perhaps some tomato juice in the pitcher of beer. But Wilson’s alter ego — a new west Lawrence restaurant called J. Wilson’s — has a decidedly different take. J. Wilson’s is in the spot at the southeast corner of Sixth and Waka-

rusa that previously housed Marisco’s. The same owners and staff that operated Marisco’s continue to operate J. Wilson’s, but there have been changes to the menu and a major makeover to the interior of the building. The restaurant spot was closed for about a month for the remodeling, and opened in the last few days. “I would call it chic but casual,” owner Nancy Renfro said of the restaurant’s concept. “You can still walk in in shorts and feel comfortable. But

we think there are lots of sophisticated features that will make people feel special.” Renfro, and her husband, Rick, are owners of Johnny’s, thus the nod to Johnny’s founder John Wilson. But you won’t ever confuse the two establishments. J. Wilson’s is not about the burgers, pizza or sports bar atmosphere that have been staples for the Johnny’s franchise.

Wilson’s menu has a host of items that Renfro describes as falling into the category of new American cuisine. “We get to delve into the finer points of food and drink here,” Renfro said. “I hope that we get to open up the world of dining to younger people in this community. When you live at home, you eat Mom’s food. When you are in college, you eat fast food, and then you get out and you realize there can be a lot more to it.” Among the chef’s specialties on the menu is a cedar fired trout that is grilled in cedar paper, doused in drawn butter, and served with lemon and herbs. The menu also features three cuts of steak, including a 24-ounce tomahawk, bone-in ribeye. Renfro said that much like Marisco’s, J. Wilson’s will continue to place an emphasis on seafood dishes. That includes a shrimp and grits dish, crab cakes, mussels, and a seafood pan roast that features mussels, crab, cod and other ingredients. The menu also includes several sandwiches, including a mango jerk chicken and a pork belly grilled cheese. The restaurant continues to have a full cocktail bar, but Renfro said there is an even greater emphasis on wine. The restaurant now has a full-time sommelier, and Renfro estimated that there are about 50 different wines in the restaurant’s collection. “But the number is not as important as the ones we have chosen,” Renfro said. “We like to buy wines from boutique wineries that get really good scores. We like to find the up-and-comers.” As for the interior makeover, the restaurant has moved its entrance to the west side of the building, creating a new glass-encased lobby. The dining room continues to feature a lot of the stone work that existed in Marisco’s, but features new lighting, tables and other accessories. “We had this vision when we started that we were going to try to create a New York supper club type of feel,” Renfro said. “We’re looking to create a lot of low-key elements.” The Renfros had owned Marisco’s since 2001, and they’ve owned Johnny’s since 1978. Nancy said both she and Rick continue to love the work. “I love food, I love wine, I love cocktails, I love new beers,” Nancy said. “And I love that I still learn something every day.”

Bounce back after a foreclosure By Deborah Kearns Associated Press

Philip and Denise Powell lost their home in 2011 after Philip’s hours as a pastor were cut in half and Denise was sidelined by a surgery. But they were determined to become homeowners again, so they rolled up their sleeves and got to work. The Highland, Calif., couple got financial counseling. They took control of their credit reports, tackled high-interest debts and cut spending. In 2015, they bought another home. “We thought we’d never recover,” Philip Powell says, recalling the devastation they felt after losing their home. “No one in California was ready for the crash; it hit us hard.” Their story is typical of the more than 9.3 million homeowners who lost a home through a distressed property sale from 2006 through 2014, according to the National Association of Realtors. As rents rise, low mortgage rates persist and the economy gradually improves, some who lost their home in recent years will be able to reenter the housing market. A 2015 study by the NAR found that 1.5 million previous homeowners might be eligible to buy within the next five years, based on the time it takes to boost credit scores and save for a down payment, as well as mandatory wait times to buy another house. For those looking to put down homeownership roots once more, here are five tips:

contract agreements, run the other way. Carlisle says that 80 percent of NID’s clients are minorities who are disproportionately targeted by predatory lenders. Never sign any contract you’re unsure of, and have a housing coungrow your down payment selor , real estate attorney reserves, and it removes or different lender look it the temptation to spend over to get a second opinmoney unnecessarily. ion.

Focus on paying down debt, creating a solid savings strategy and avoiding new splurge purchases. Saving for a down payment and closing costs is one of the biggest hurdles that homebuyers face. wait seven years after a bankruptcy or foreclosure to buy another home, says Ray Carlisle, president of the national nonprofit NID Housing Counseling Agency. For homeowners who had extenuating circumstances such as prolonged income loss or major medical expenses, Fannie Mae has shortened its waiting periods to two years after a pre-foreclosure sale — a short sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure — and to three years after a foreclosure. That’s down from the standard waiting periods of four and seven years, respectively. To get a Federal Housing Administration loan after a foreclosure, the standard wait time is now three years — and as little as one year with extenuating circumstances, says April Brown, a spokeswoman for the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Change bad habits Focus on paying down debt, creating a solid savings strategy and avoiding new splurge purchases. Saving for a down payment and closing costs is one of the biggest hurdles that homebuyers face. Start socking away bonuses, windfalls, tax refunds and other extra cash in a savings account. Setting up automatic Know your options deposits to your savings You no longer have to account is another way to

Repair your credit The FHA’s minimum credit score requirement for maximum financing is 580. Some lenders offer loans at that minimum, Carlisle says, but other mortgage lenders require a FICO score of 640 or higher. Paying off high-interest debt on time each month and not taking out new loans or running up your credit cards will help build your credit score. Also, ask your utility providers or landlord to report your on-time monthly payments to the major credit bureaus to have those count on your credit report, too.
