DOUGLAS COUNTY COMMISSIONER JIM FLORY LOOKS AT A CONTAINER OF PROCESSED LARD brought in by Brian Strecker to demonstrate a lack of odor from meat preparation in Strecker’s proposed specialty venture in rural Douglas County. Strecker spoke Wednesday night in defense of his proposal, which was opposed by some Lecompton residents and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who appeared at the meeting with his family. Commissioners approved Strecker’s plan.

Kobach fails to block Lawrence entrepreneur By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

A specialty meat shop is on the horizon for a 30-acre plot of land just west of Lecompton, despite vocal opposition from Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach and several others. Wednesday night, Douglas County commissioners unanimously approved Lawrence chef Brian Strecker’s conditional use permit for a 640-square-foot venture called The Burning Barrel, which will be located at 292 North 2100 Road. More than 50 people attended a

marathon commission meeting at the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St., to voice their support for or opposition to Strecker’s proposal. Of the three dozen residents who ad- Strecker dressed the commission, more than half spoke out against the proposal, voicing concerns about fire, odor and health hazards. Those who spoke in favor of Strecker’s business vouched for his honesty, work ethic and pro-

fessional skills. Strecker, who ran the kitchen at Lawrence’s now-shuttered Pachamamas for 13 years, said his new shop will process locally raised livestock into hams, Kobach sausages and other cuts of meat. The shop will employ no more than four people and process no more than four hogs a week, Strecker told commissioners, objecting to

QUESTIONABLE TAX RETURN GIVEN TO UNITED WAY? By Karen Dillon and Sara Shepherd Twitter: @LJWorld

Even as Jeremy Farmer was stepping down Wednesday as Lawrence mayor, questions began swirling about Just Food’s 2014 income tax return. Two days before, Farmer had unexpectedly resigned as executive director of Just Food, a nonprofit food bank, in part because of a $50,000 past-due bill for federal payroll taxes. Now it appears Farmer provided a questionable income tax return earlier this summer to the United Way of Douglas County. Just Food has asked an accountant to review the income tax return, which was signed solely by Farmer. In addition, Just Food has retained attorney John Bullock of Stevens & Brand LLP to handle a records request by the Journal-World, the attorney acknowledged Wednesday. Farmer has claimed that he saved the food bank after he became the CEO in 2011. On his Facebook page, his biography Please see RETURN, page 2A

Return

it was turned in to us, we presumed that it had been provided to the IRS.” But it had not, the Journal-World learned Wednesday. Just the day before, the newspaper had asked Kristi Henderson, president of the Just Food board of directors, for a copy of the agency’s income tax return, which is a public record. Just Food has posted its 2012 and 2013 income tax returns on its website. When Henderson didn’t respond to the request for the 2014 document, a reporter contacted Dvorske and asked for a copy of the tax return. Dvorske sent a copy of it by email to the JournalWorld and also to Elizabeth Keever, the interim executive director of Just Food, to let Keever know that she was sharing the public information, Dvorske said. Thirty minutes later, Henderson, the board president, sent the JournalWorld an email, saying she understood the United Way had provided the newspaper with a copy of the “2014 990.” “This form has not been finalized or filed with the IRS,” Henderson wrote. “It is being reviewed by our

accountant. Therefore, the numbers in it may change.” Henderson said Just Food had received an extension from the IRS for the 2014 return and that when it was finally filed, Just Food would share it with the newspaper. It was not clear when the agency had filed for the IRS extension. Bullock, the attorney, described the document that the United Way had as “a draft.” “The final 990 has not been filed with the IRS,” Bullock told the newspaper. “It may be the same that gets filed with the IRS, but it is subject to a possible revision.” Dvorske said the events of this week were unexpected. “Given the events of the past few days, I am so surprised about everything,” she said. She said the United Way was working with Just Food and its board to try to ensure that needy families were still able to get food. “We want to support them as they pave their way through this,” Dvorske said. “The whole thing is very unfortunate for the community. We know there are a lot of families in the area that need the food.”

elections to November of odd-numbered years, and those people elected will take office the following January. As a result, Farmer’s term, and that of Commissioner Mike Amyx, was extended and is now set to expire in January 2018. Farmer did not return phone calls from the Journal-World seeking further comment on his resignation, but other commissioners said they understood his decision and wished him well. “I know it’s been pretty stressful on everyone, especially Mayor Farmer, but I believe it’s the right move,” said Amyx, who is now the only Lawrence city commissioner with more than three months’ experience in the job. The other three commissioners— Soden, Stuart Boley and Matthew Herbert — were all elected to their first terms in April. Amyx also said he hopes the commission will engage in a public process for choosing a new commissioner, one that he said should involve community advisory panels and public forums. “None of us was given a free pass to the City Commission,” he said. “You have to go through forums and knocking door-todoor. Obviously that’s not going to happen. But if we set up forum-type events where candidates answer questions, I think there’s that type of arrangement that could be had. I do think a public process similar to what each one of us had to go through at election time would be good.” Herbert said he wasn’t surprised by Farmer’s res-

ignation. “He’s had a tough 48 hours,” Herbert said Wednesday. “But this is a situation where he had to put the interests of the community ahead of the interests of himself. If he hadn’t resigned, it would have been a distraction.” Herbert also said he thinks it’s important for the commission to move quickly to fill the vacant seat because Lawrence is now in the rare position of having both an acting mayor in charge of the commission and an interim city manager in charge of dayto-day operations. “We’re in the middle of a city manager search,” he said. “We don’t need a distraction while we’re trying to recruit the best of the best.” Herbert said he thinks the process of filling the vacancy could take 60 to 90 days. Boley said Lawrence voters spoke loudly in the last election demanding a change in direction on the City Commission, and he wants to see that reflected in the choice of a new commissioner. “It’s going to be a process to figure this out,” Boley said. “We’re going to work hard. We need to come together as a commission and unite around what we want in a new commissioner.” Soden did not respond to phone messages seeking reaction to Farmer’s resignation.

Businesses that make more than 45 percent of their revenue from alcohol sales are considered bars or lounges, and they aren’t allowed in the limited industrial zoning district where Decade is located. So, bottom line, the city will have to monitor the sales tax and liquor tax receipts of Decade periodically to determine whether it is consistently meeting the minimum food sales requirement.

Bonds CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Kansas Senate pensions committee Chairman Jeff King, an Independence Republican. But a report last year from the Center for Retirement Research at Boston University said such bonds reduce a state or local government’s financial flexibility. Moody’s Investors Service raised the same issue in a report Tuesday on the Kansas bonds, saying the state is replacing “soft” obligations with “hard” debt payments. Moody’s also said Kansas appeared to be using the bonds for “near-term budgetary relief.” In authorizing the bonds earlier this year, lawmakers also trimmed back the state’s contributions to public pensions over the next two years, providing less aggressive increases than previously planned.

Republican Gov. Sam Brownback and the GOPdominated Legislature were seeking to avert a budget deficit following massive personal income tax cuts enacted in 2012 and 2013 at Brownback’s urging in an effort to stimulate the economy. Trimming pension contributions helped; the state also raised sales and cigarette taxes. “We see this as one of the indicators that the state is having trouble balancing its budget,” said Dan Seymour, a Moody’s assistant vice president and its lead analyst for Kansas. The pension system projects that the benefits due to retirees over the next 18 years were 62 percent funded at the end of last year, with anticipated revenues and investment earnings falling $9.47 billion short. A 2012 law committed the state to greater contributions and revised benefits for new employees so that the gap would be eliminated in 2033.

bistro is a small one, and won’t have a kitchen space. But plans call for at least one or more food trucks to be set up outside the business, allowing patrons of the bistro to buy food from the trucks and consume it in the bistro, along with the drink of their choice. The development group has said it wants food to be a major focus on the new bistro, but it has struggled to find an operator that is willing to invest the money needed to open the business with the possibility the city could close the business if it falls below the 55 percent food requirement. Some neighbors have objected to the Eighth and Pennsylvania proposal. The Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission has recommended approval of the plans, but it is unclear whether the project has the three necessary votes on the City Commission. The City Commission is tentatively scheduled to discuss the Eighth and Pennsylvania proposal at its meeting next week.

The Lawrence-Douglas County Metropolitan Planning Organization and the City of Lawrence are seeking volunteers to manually count bicycles and pedestrians in the area in September, according to a city news release on Tuesday. Volunteers will be asked to work two-hour shifts counting bicycles and pedestrians across Lawrence, Eudora and Baldwin City. Volunteers will be trained in the National Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project method and will be required to watch a four-minute training video. Collected data will “assist city and regional leaders in estimating usage

and demand for bicycle and pedestrian facilities,” the news release said, and help track regional progress on “increasing the use of nonmotorized transportation” and “strengthen grant applications to leverage additional federal funding for bicycle and pedestrian projects.” Volunteers may choose one or more of the following shifts: noon to 2 p.m. Sept. 5; 10 a.m. to noon or 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Sept. 9; 10 a.m. to noon or 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Sept. 10 and noon to 2 p.m. Sept. 12. In case of rain, volunteer shifts will be rescheduled for 10 a.m. to noon and 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Sept. 16 and noon to 2 p.m. Sept. 19. To sign up for a shift, visit www.lawrenceks.org/mpo/volunteer.

DA reviewing boy’s shooting The case of a Lawrence father who reportedly shot his 10-year-old son by accident last month is now under review by the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office, said assistant to the district attorney Cheryl Wright Kunard on Wednesday. The father, whose name has not been released to the public, told police that around 7:10 p.m. on July 10 he and his son were watching TV in their living room and that he was cleaning his gun when he accidentally shot the boy, Lawrence police spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said after the incident. Police believe the discharge occurred because the man failed to properly check the chamber for a live

round before attempting to disassemble the weapon, McKinley said last month. The type of handgun the man was cleaning requires the trigger to be pulled before the gun’s slide can come off. The bullet struck the child in the abdomen, but after surgery and treatment at Stormont Vail hospital in Topeka, the boy was reportedly “doing fine,” McKinley said. Approximately two weeks ago, McKinley said police forwarded the results of their investigation to the District Attorney’s Office. Wright Kunard said the office is reviewing the case to determine whether criminal charges are warranted. — Caitlin Doornbos

The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production of â&#x20AC;&#x153;La Damnation de Carmen,â&#x20AC;? a modified version of the 1875 work, promises all three when it opens Friday evening at Theatre Lawrence, 4660 Bauer Farm Drive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;La Damnation de Carmenâ&#x20AC;? is a contemporary riff on Bizetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic that, while retaining its original music and basic story, injects something of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;ripped from the headlinesâ&#x20AC;? flavor into the 19th century tale. In it, Don Jose, instead of a naive soldier who falls for the titular heroine, is a veteran struggling to adapt to civilian life following several tours in Afghanistan. Played by Vera, the re-imagined Don Jose first meets Carmen at a gypsy-owned bar where she works as a lounge singer. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s later pushed to his breaking point when Escamillo (a bullfighter in Bizetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opera, now a pop star on a publicity tour) rolls into town and woos Carmen away from him. As in the original work, tragedy

ensues. But it all unfolds in a way that todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s audiences can easily relate to, Vera says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dealing with drugs, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dealing with PTSD, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dealing with physical abuse â&#x20AC;&#x201D; assault, essentially,â&#x20AC;? he says of the reworked play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All you have to do is open up the newspaper and you see all that transpire in everyday life.â&#x20AC;? Another major change to Bizetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opera: the running time, which Lawrence Opera Theatre has cut nearly in half to about two hours with an intermission. From an artistic standpoint, the move is meant to create a more intimate â&#x20AC;&#x153;fly-on-the-wall experienceâ&#x20AC;? for the audience. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a practical move, says Andrew Stuckey, who plays Escamillo in the production. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted it to be compact and powerful, but also, Lawrence Opera Theatre is a young company. This saves on resources,â&#x20AC;? says Stuckey, who grew up in Kansas

City and attended Kansas University with Vera. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to have a huge chorus, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need five set changes or four costume changes for everybody.â&#x20AC;? Lawrence Opera Theatre may be small now, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing. Recently, LOT reached 501c status, which effectively makes it a nonprofit and opens possibilities for more funding. As the only professional opera company in Kansas aside from Wichita Grand Opera, the Lawrence group has its fair share of local talents, many of whom are young and just starting out in opera. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also starting to bring in more professionals working on a national level, such as Stuckey, Vera (who sings tenor in the New York Metropolitan Opera) and Liz Cass, the productionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Carmen (who regularly performs with the Austin Opera and Austin Symphony). That mix of up-and-coming singers and industry veterans is what fuels Vera, who founded Lawrence Opera Theatre as a way to provide opportunities for a younger generation of artists. Stuckey, who serves as an assistant professor of music at the University of Arizona, says he was happy to help out his friend and spend some time in Lawrence, if only for a few weeks. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also giving back while in town, working privately with some of the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s younger cast members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It touches my heart, because these people could be doing things that pay more, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve decided to come here to Lawrence,â&#x20AC;? Vera says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of good stuff in Lawrence.â&#x20AC;?

CHOCOLATE CHEESE SMOKE BURGER

onsidering some of the wacky hamburgers weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve covered in this feature, I thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d seen it all. I really did. Well, it turns out I just hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been to KC Smoke Burger, where two of the most universally loved foodstuffs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; chocolate and 100 percent Angus beef â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have been merged into one smoky, sweet creation called the Chocolate Cheese Smoke Burger. As with every burger at the downtown eatery, the Chocolate Cheese is flame-grilled and â&#x20AC;&#x153;smoked to perfection.â&#x20AC;? It comes with all the standard toppings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; lettuce, tomatoes and pickles â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but thankfully leaves out onions and mayo, which probably wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have paired well with all that Hersheyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chocolate syrup slathered on top of the patty. Yes, chocolate syrup.

Protected by a thin layer of American cheese, the syrup takes on the consistency of Nutella, perhaps because of the cooking process, our waitress guessed. (As you can see, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve punctured the cheese in my picture to give you an idea of what the chocolate looks like.) So, go ahead and try the Chocolate Cheese Smoke Burger.

Last month, the administration swept $700,000 out of the Board of Cosmetology’s account. That was just one part of a $63 million package of budget adjustments and fund transfers the administration made to beef up the state general fund. The Board of Cosmetology is proposing even larger increases in fees it charges for written and practical licensing exams: a $25 increase in testing fees for cosmetologists, estheticians, nail technicians and electrologist apprentices; and a $50 increase in exam fees for tattoo artists and body piercer apprentices. Last month, the administration swept $700,000 out of the Board of Cosmetology’s account. That was just one part of a $63 million package of budget adjustments and fund transfers the administration made to beef up the state general fund. The cosmetology board has an annual budget of about $900,000 a year. Before the fund sweep, it was projected to end the current fiscal year with nearly $1.2 million in its account.

Lawmakers object Ward and Schmidt both cast recorded votes in opposition to those fee increases, as did Rep. Tom Hawk of Manhattan and Sen. Oletha FaustGoudeau of Wichita, both Democrats. Ward also opposed a planned 7 cent increase in the monthly 911 tax on cellphone bills, bringing that fee to a total of 60 cents a month. While officials from the 911 Coordinating Council told the panel that money actually is needed to pay for technology upgrades, Ward said he opposed the increase anyway because the administration is sweeping balances from the Board of Emergency Medical Services and Board of Healing Arts, agencies that represent people called to respond to 911 emergencies. Ward said those were only symbolic votes because the committee’s only role is to offer comment and suggestions on proposed regulatory changes. State agencies are authorized by statute to adopt rules and regulations to administer their functions, and while state law sometimes caps the amount agencies can charge for various fees, the final decision is typically up to the agencies themselves.

The new regulations set up a procedure for parents to seek an investigation if they think emergency safety interventions have been improperly used.

John Rubin, RShawnee, who sponsored the legislation, sent a letter to the board last week encouraging them to include language from the law in the revised regulations. The regulations reference the new law, but they don’t directly quote from it. Rubin’s letter upset special-education teachers who say the perception that restraints and seclusion have been misused is inaccurate. A state task force has been studying the subject.

Attached sister doesn’t understand boundaries Dear Annie: I have four siblings. One of my sisters thinks she has a right to invite herself to our homes, join us for dinner and attend other functions, whether we invite her or not. It’s like she thinks we are joined at the hip. Worse, “Ginny” is very nosy. She will come to my house and read my mail. She also asks questions about things that are none of her business. Also, Ginny is overly sensitive and none of us want to hurt her feelings. Ginny has many good qualities. She has a big heart and a generous spirit. I have considered buying her an etiquette book that should cover such things, but my other siblings don’t think this is a good idea. We all love her dearly, but her poor manners are driving us crazy.

‘Seventies’ ends on a high note The eight-part history of “The Seventies” (8 p.m., CNN) concludes with a glance at the decade’s diverse trends in popular music. The 1970s saw the rise of the singer/songwriter, with artists such as James Taylor, Joni Mitchell and Carole King, not to mention genres as diverse and short-lived as punk and disco. While those types of music came and went very quickly, the decade’s most enduring and ubiquitous act, The Eagles, symbolized the blend of country, pop and rock that can be heard in popular country music to this day. During the 1970s, FM radio muscled aside the AM bandwidth as the era’s main transmitter of music and pop culture. Its dominance was challenged and eclipsed in 1981, with the advent of MTV on cable television, new in many American homes. But that will have to wait until CNN presents “The Eighties.”

Speaking of the 1980s, AMC celebrates the John Hughes era. Look for a double dose of “The Breakfast Club” (5 p.m. and 9:15 p.m.) wrapped around a helping of “Sixteen Candles” (7:15 p.m.), both starring Molly Ringwald and Anthony Michael Hall.

Ann-Margret plays the spouse of an ex-con (Alain Delon) in the 1965 thriller “Once a Thief” (9 a.m., TCM), featuring a score by Lalo Schifrin. This is only one of 12 movies in TCM’s daylong salute to Margret, which features her iconic roles in “Viva Las Vegas” (7:30 a.m.) and “Bye Bye Birdie” (7 p.m.); her serious work in “Carnal Knowledge” (1 a.m.); and her European forays, including “Made in Paris” (11 a.m.), co-starring Louis Jourdan, and the 1964 Madrid adventure, “The Pleasure Seekers” (1 p.m.), co-starring Carol Lynley and Anthony Franciosa.

Since most people now use credit cards, debit cards or electronic pay options on their cellphones (and cashiers use registers that tell them what the change should be), we aren’t sure a toll collector fresh out of high school would come across this type of calculation often enough for it to be automatic. We’d bet if you saw this same kid in a year, he wouldn’t have any problem at all.

EDITORIALS

Steady the ship A mostly inexperienced Lawrence City Commission is facing some key challenges.

here’s a lot of uncertainty in Lawrence city government right now. The city recently lost its longtime city manager and is just beginning its search for a replacement. Interim City Manager Diane Stoddard likely will be a candidate for that job, but city commissioners are just starting to look at the qualifications they want in a permanent city manager. Mayor Jeremy Farmer submitted his resignation from the City Commission on Wednesday. That announcement came just two days after Farmer resigned his job as CEO of Just Food. His departure from the local food bank came “by mutual agreement” just after the agency determined that $50,000 in back payroll taxes had not been paid to the Internal Revenue Service. Farmer’s emailed commission resignation was succinct. “The last 48 hours have taken a tremendous toll on me personally,” he wrote, “and for the benefit of the City and for myself, I feel it best to step aside.” According to a city news release, commissioners will meet Friday to act on the resignation and receive information about filling the commission vacancy and the mayor’s seat. Vice Mayor Leslie Soden, who was elected to the commission in April, will serve as acting mayor. Because state legislators have moved city and school board elections from April to November, the next City Commission election won’t be until November 2017, meaning that more than two years remain in Farmer’s term. This City Commission already was short on experience. Farmer had served just two years, and the three commissioners elected in April are all newcomers. Mike Amyx is the only veteran commissioner in the bunch. Experience certainly counts when it comes to the City Commission. New commissioners can bring new perspectives and new ideas, but they have less of the knowledge and context that is needed to guide key city decisions. As noted above, one of the key decisions currently facing the commission is the selection of a new city manager. Based on his experience, Amyx has been assigned to lead the manager search. A search firm has been hired to assist with the search, and a series of meetings are planned to gather input from community stakeholders, but the final decision on this hiring will be up to the City Commission. It’s hard to know whether Farmer’s sudden resignation will have any impact on how attractive the city manager’s job is to potential candidates, but it will be important for the inexperienced commission to draw on all of its community resources to help make the best hiring decision for this important job. Stability is an important attribute of good government. Lawrence continues to operate smoothly, so there is no cause for immediate concern, but City Hall is experiencing a certain amount of upheaval that calls on commissioners to steady the ship and keep the city on a positive course.

GOP needs to rise above Trump Washington — In every town large enough to have two traffic lights, there is a bar at the back of which sits the local Donald Trump, nursing his fifth beer and innumerable delusions. Because the actual Donald Trump is wealthy, he can turn himself into an unprecedentedly and incorrigibly vulgar presidential candidate. It is his right to use his riches as he pleases. His squalid performance and its coarsening of civic life are costs of freedom that an open society must be prepared to pay. When, however, Trump decided that his next acquisition would be not another casino but the Republican presidential nomination, he tactically and quickly un-

“

Conservatives who flinch from forthrightly marginalizing Trump mistakenly fear alienating a substantial Republican cohort.” derwent many conversions of convenience (concerning abortion, health care, funding Democrats, etc.). His makeover demonstrates that he is a counterfeit Republican and no conservative. He is an affront to anyone devoted to the project William F. Buckley began six decades ago with the founding in 1955 of National Review — making conservatism intellectually respectable and politically palatable. Buckley’s legacy is being betrayed by invertebrate conservatives now saying that although Trump “goes too far,” he has “tapped into something,” and therefore ... Therefore what? This stance — if a semi-grovel can be dignified as a stance — is a recipe for deserved disaster. Remember, Henry Wallace and Strom Thurmond “tapped into” things. In 1948, Wallace, FDR’s for-

mer vice president, ran as a third-party candidate opposing Harry Truman’s re-election. His campaign became a vehicle for, among others, communists and fellow travelers opposed to Truman’s anti-Soviet foreign policy. Truman persevered, leaders of organized labor cleansed their movement of Soviet sympathizers, and Truman was re-elected. He won also in spite of South Carolina’s Democratic Gov. Thurmond siphoning off Democratic votes (and 39 electoral votes) as a Dixiecrat protesting civil rights commitments in the Democratic Party’s platform. Truman won because he kept his party and himself from seeming incoherent and boneless. Conservatives who flinch from forthrightly marginalizing Trump mistakenly fear alienating a substantial Republican cohort. But the assumption that today’s Trumpites are Republicans is unsubstantiated and implausible. Many are no doubt lightly attached to the political process, preferring entertainment to affiliation. They relish in their candidate’s vituperation and share his aversion to facts. From what GOP faction might Trumpites come? The establishment? Social conservatives? Unlikely. They certainly are not tea partyers, those earnest, issue-oriented, book-club

organizing activists who are passionate about policy. Trump’s aversion to reality was displayed during the Cleveland debate when Chris Wallace asked him for “evidence” to support his claim that Mexico’s government is sending rapists and drug dealers to America. Trump, as usual, offered apoplexy as an argument. A political party has a right to (in language Trump likes) secure its borders. Indeed, a party has a duty to exclude interlopers, including cynical opportunists deranged by egotism. This is why closed primaries, although not obligatory, are defensible: Let party members make the choices that define the party and dispense its most precious possession, a presidential nomination. So, the Republican National Committee should immediately stipulate that subsequent Republican debates will be open to any and all — but only — candidates who pledge to support the party’s nominee. This year’s Republican field is the most impressive since 1980, and perhaps the most talent-rich since the party first had a presidential nominee, in 1856. But 16 candidates are experiencing diminishment by association with the 17th. Soon the campaign will turn to granular politics, the on-the-ground retail work required by the 1.4 percent of the nation’s population that

lives in Iowa and New Hampshire. Try to imagine Trump in an Iowa living room, with a macaroon in one hand and cup of hot chocolate balanced on a knee, observing Midwestern civilities while talking about something other than himself. Television, which has made Trump (he is one of three candidates, with Mike Huckabee and John Kasich, who have had television shows), will unmake him, turning his shtick into a transcontinental bore. But not before many voters will have noticed weird vibrations pulsing from the GOP. So, conservatives today should deal with Trump with the firmness Buckley dealt with the John Birch Society in 1962. The society was an extension of a loony businessman who said Dwight Eisenhower was “a dedicated, conscious agent of the Communist conspiracy.” In a 5,000-word National Review “excoriation” (Buckley’s word), he excommunicated the society from the conservative movement. Buckley received an approving letter from a subscriber who said, “You have once again given a voice to the conscience of conservatism.” The letter was signed, “Ronald Reagan, Pacific Palisades, Cal.” — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

PUBLIC FORUM

Housing funds To the editor: This is written to support Stuart Boley’s initiative to use $100,000 toward the housing fund. This action will not increase the mill levy, but will be transferred within the general fund. As we can see from folks standing on the corners or on the sidewalk with signs, housing is a desperate need for Lawrence. Kudos to Stuart for this action! Barbara Walker Johnston, Baldwin City

Spiritual side To the editor: The USA Today article of Aug. 10 dealing with the right to die law in Switzerland sounds a lot like the pro-choice folks who think that they should be able to decide about the fate of their baby without government interference. The article’s subject was a woman who was not ill but was afraid of aging (something a baby doesn’t do). The woman’s logic makes sense to me biblically because of the way the Bible contrasts an aging “natural” person versus a believing Christian or Jew (read Ecclesiastes 12:1-7 vs. Psalms 92:12-15). Also, the difference for a Christian is that they understand that Christ’s death has taken the sting out of death which is sin. Christ died for our sins, hence, we do not have to fear the consequences of sin that an unbeliever should fear (see I Corinthians 15:56 and John 3:18-19). The believer will live in the house of the Lord forever; the unbeliever will be condemned to the Lake of Fire. Now that is something to fear. The Swiss criteria for allowing suicide is incomplete since it says the person must be mentally and physically

capable. Note they leave out the third dimension of our being, the spiritual. For the unbeliever, this is acceptable (but not for the believer) because they reject the notion that we have an eternal dimension, i.e., when you are dead, that’s it, nothing more. Haven’t most of us seen what happens when a living being’s spirit leaves the body? Then you are dead, but not your spirit and soul. Carl Burkhead, Lawrence

intact and then killed. Think about that. Removed intact and then killed. According to a CDC report from November 2014, non-Hispanic black women abort 459 babies for every 1,000 live births. Non-Hispanic white women abort 132 babies for every 1,000 live births. An overwhelming majority of blacks in our country vote for the Democratic candidate every election cycle even though a non-negotiable plank of the Democratic party is abortion on demand. We see protestors in major urban areas, carrying signs that say “Black Lives Matter.” Well, I can assure you that Planned Parenthood believes black lives matter but only as the sum of their parts. Scott Burkhart, Lawrence

To the editor: I support Stuart Boley’s move to add $100,000 to the budget to help alleviate homelessness in Lawrence. It is not a large amount but might help many people. I was sorry to hear that people were throwing things at their TV, as that is likely to damage the TV.

USA TODAY — L awrence J ournal -W orld

If you like your goods made in China, a weakened yuan is your friend. When the yuan falls in value, goods imported to the USA from China become cheaper. And China makes a lot of things from computers to clothing. Conversely, American businesses will find it more expensive to sell their goods to China. LOW INTEREST RATES

The Federal Reserve is poised to raise extraordinarily low interest rates as employment returns to healthier levels. But a stronger dollar against the yuan could depress inflation because Chinese goods are cheaper. That, in turn, could lead the Fed to hold off on upping rates this fall because it already is worried about inflation being too low. Those with mortgage rates explicitly tied to base rate moves would benefit. Savers looking for more interest — not as much.

FEWER JOBS

Many U.S. companies do a considerable amount of their business abroad, either selling directly to Chinese consumers, manufacturing or via overseas units that produce income in the local currency. Apple, for example, relies on China to make its iPhone and iPad. A stronger dollar compared to the yuan means any income generated in China loses value as it is repatriated back to America. Similarly, manufacturing for U.S. firms becomes more expensive. All this could lead to lower

China, the world’s second largest economy, consumes a lot of oil, second only to the U.S. However, oil prices are denominated in dollars, so a gutted yuan means China’s purchasing power is reduced, which could prompt the Chinese to spend less on oil-based products. That reduction in demand could lower prices, an upside for American drivers. FALLING STOCK MARKETS

Investors have worried for some time about China’s slowing growth and what this might mean for global markets. As the yuan slid this week, so have stock prices. Of particular concern for consumer investors is what is perceived to be Beijing’s apparent preference for surprise interventions in currency markets.

The latest poll in New Hampshire — site of the nation’s first primary — illustrates the challenges Clinton may have in locking up the Democratic nomination early in 2016. Continued scrutiny over her use of a private email account while she served as secretary of State combined with Sanders’ resonance among the party’s more progressive wing have clouded what many thought would be the inevitablity of Clinton’s nomination. Still, 65% of Democrats polled believe the better-known and better-funded Clinton will ultimately win the nomination, while 11% believe Sanders will.

Cost of treating transgender troops called negligible Tom Vanden Brook USA TODAY

Treating the military’s estimated 12,800 transgender troops with hormone therapy and surgery will cost about $5.6 million a year, a tiny amount compared with overall spending on military health care, according to an article published Wednesday by the New England Journal of Medicine. The cost of medical care will be a key factor as the Pentagon develops a plan it announced last month to integrate transgender WASHINGTON

troops. Defense Secretary Ash Carter gave his staff six months to work out details to allow them to serve openly, which current policy does not allow. The article, titled “Caring for Our Transgender Troops — The Negligible Cost of Transition-Related Care,” was written by Aaron Belkin, director of the Palm Center, which researches issues regarding sexual orientation issues in the military. The military spends nearly $48 billion on health care, Belkin writes. He estimated 188 troops will require gender transition-related care each year at a cost of

$5.6 million, or $438 per transgender servicemember per year. The relatively cheap treatment

should allay concerns about the cost of rescinding the ban, Belkin said in an interview. “I was particularly surprised at the number in the context of what the military overall spends on health care,” Belkin said. Four years ago, the Pentagon eliminated Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, which prohibited gay and lesbian troops from serving openly and is borrowing similar tactics to dismantle the ban on transgender troops. For instance, the Pentagon recently made it more difficult to discharge transgender troops by requiring a high-ranking civilian to make the decision.

That tactic effectively acted as a moratorium on dismissals of gay and lesbian troops. Some transgender troops are serving openly with the knowledge of their commanders and some are receiving treatment, Belkin said. He also noted that the Australian military treats its transgender troops. Pete Sepp, president of the National Taxpayers Union, a nonpartisan government spending watchdog, said the Pentagon should consider cost-cutting elsewhere if it takes on the responsibility of treating transgender troops.

Apps help us on our journeys — literally Jefferson Graham @JeffersonGraham USA TODAY

LOS ANGELES A recent study said 87% of Millennials always have their smartphones by their sides, day and night. I’m no Millennial, but keep mine by me 24/7, too. The farthest the smartphone gets from my body is when I charge it overnight. With email, texts, Facebook, calendar, weather, mapping and, yes, even phone calls, our lives are conducted on the digital extension of our arm, and most of that is happening via apps. There are more than 3 million of them, for both Apple and Android devices, and it got me wondering. Many of these apps have graduated to life savers. I know I couldn’t exist without many of them. Could you? I threw this question to the Facebook community recently, and the response was overwhelming. Some of the replies I received were surprising: SoulCycle to keep Kelly on track and remind her to get to her spinning class, and Bank of America so Teri doesn’t have to go inside a branch. As for me, I have a number of contenders. There is a bunch I use every day: I start in the morning with the free 7 Minute Workout app,

Waze. Do you remember what life used to be like? Paper maps in the car? Always getting lost? Now, our phones tell us, in amazing detail, how to get around, and we get to see so much more of it, because Waze comes up with those very unique side-street routes. It even lets us know, to the minute, what time we will arrive at our destination.

Driving has never been this much fun. Remember the GPS units we used to put in our cars? Does anyone yearn for the days when you’d start the trip by typing in the address, slowly, key by key, to start your journey? Google quickly made GPS units irrelevant when it launched Google Maps, first for desktop in 2004 and then as it became the default map app for the iPhone. Apple in 2012 kicked Google off the iPhone to launch its own, inferior mapping service, only to meet poor reviews. Google Maps got prime position in the App Store for folks to return to the app they loved. Apple Maps, meanwhile, has yet to catch up. Meanwhile, Google snapped up Waze, a company formed in Israel, for $1.1 billion in 2013 and has let both mapping services co-exist. Google Maps is great — it has even added some of Waze’s social tools — gathering information from users for real-time updates on accidents. And Waze added Google’s precision search. But Google always seems more intent on showing me the dull freeway options while Waze has those crazy backstreet routes. I’m for anything that gets me out of traffic and arriving more quickly.

What we know (and don’t) about Hillary Clinton emails Gregory Korte @gregorykorte USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Former secretary of State Hillary Clinton has agreed to turn over her email server to the FBI, the latest development in a story that’s been the biggest controversy in her early campaign for president. But like most such evolving controversies, the facts are elusive.

HOW MUCH CLASSIFIED INFORMATION IS IN THESE EMAILS? WHEN WAS IT CLASSIFIED, BEFORE OR AFTER SHE GOT IT?

Investigators have found at least four emails that contained classified information. McClatchy News Service reported Tuesday that two of those contained “top secret” information, according to the Intelligence Community Inspector General’s office. But the number could be much higher. The four emails were discovered as part of a sample of 40 emails of the 30,000 Clinton has returned to the State Department. And those 30,490 emails represent only about half the 62,320 emails sent and received by Clinton during her tenure as secretary of State. Clinton says

the other half are personal. Clinton maintains she did nothing wrong. “I am confident that I never sent or received any information that was classified at the time it was sent and received,” she said last month. In an email to supporters Wednesday, the Clinton campaign explained: “It’s common for information previously considered unclassified to be upgraded to classified before being publicly released. Some emails that weren’t secret at the time she sent or received them might be secret now,” communications director Jennifer Palmieri said. Federal investigators have suggested that’s not the case here. The inspectors general have said the emails “contained classified information when they were generated.” IS THERE A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION?

The Justice Department originally characterized the inspector general letters as a “criminal referral,” but later reversed itself. The inspectors general themselves said it was not a criminal referral but “a security referral made for counterintelligence purposes.” The New York Times, which first reported on the referral, has

acknowledged that its original reporting labeling it criminal was at the very least “confusing.” The Times’ public editor said the reports of a criminal referral was a “messy and a regrettable chapter“ in the paper’s reporting. Since then, federal officials have confirmed the existence of an FBI investigation, but have not characterized it as criminal. WHAT DO THE EMAILS THAT HAVE BEEN RELEASED REVEAL?

Most of the emails show Clinton aides briefing her on various issues, and are often news stories cut-and-pasted into an email and forwarded to the secretary. The 3,577 emails that have been publicly released to date — many of which have been heavily redacted — also deal with subjects such as her relations with Congress and routine personnel matters. Among the biggest revelations: Sidney Blumenthal, a former White House aide to President Clinton, played a key advisory role for the secretary of State despite not having an official role in government, the Times has reported. The Wall Street Journal noted that the emails also show a keen attention to domestic political issues. None of the classified emails have been released publicly.

Then-secretary of State Hillary Clinton, checks her Blackberry as she attends a forum in Korea in 2011. Clinton says she set up her server so she could have emails on her Blackberry. HAS CLINTON LIED ABOUT HER USE OF EMAIL?

Clinton’s statements about her use of email have evolved since the existence of her private email server was revealed in March. She at first said she set up the server for the “convenience” of having work and personal emails on one Blackberry device. She has since acknowledged using an iPad to email, and says she regrets not having separate email accounts for official and personal business. Clinton told CNN last month that she “never had a subpoena” for the emails. But congressional records show such a subpoena was issued in March. Clinton has said she has turned over all work-related emails to

IN BRIEF REPORT: KIM JONG UN HAS EXECUTED VICE PREMIER

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un reportedly ordered the execution of the country’s vice premier earlier this year, South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reported Wednesday. Citing unnamed sources, Yonhap reported Choe Yong-gon, 63, was shot dead in May after expressing “discomfort” over Kim’s forestation policy. In a statement carried by the agency, South Korea’s Unification Ministry said: “Choe has not been seen publicly for about ... eight months since he was last witnessed in December last year at the ceremony to mark the third anniversary of the death of North’s former leader Kim Jong Il.” — Jane Onyanga-Omara SHOOTING VICTIM’S DAD IS SORRY FOR COP’S FAMILY

the State Department, but acknowledged that she cannot account for 15 emails with Blumenthal that he turned over but she did not. WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH BENGHAZI?

So far, very little. Although the existence of Clinton’s private email server was discovered in the course of a congressional investigation into the 2012 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya, only 8% of the emails released to date mention Benghazi. Those emails show Clinton intensely involved in the attack and its aftermath, but contain no evidence that Clinton ordered security forces to “stand down,” as some Republicans have alleged.

“+NDXOXCHWDRGHDXORVI+” — Does that mean anything to you? The British Library has been trying to decipher the inscription on a 13th-century sword, and has come up with nothing. They suspect the inscription is a “religious invocation” but aren’t sure of the language. Stumped, they posted photos of the sword to the British Library’s blog and asked readers, “Can you have a go at trying to decipher it for us?” The blog’s comment section lit up with suggested translations, wild guesses, and helpful links to academic research on medieval sword inscriptions. All that attention, though, brought them no closer to an answer, and now the comments section is closed. — John Timothy McGrath, GlobalPost

PRESIDENT CARTER, 90, HAS CANCER Unspecified type was discovered during surgery on liver Susan Davis and Liz Szabo USA TODAY

Former president Jimmy Carter announced Wednesday he has cancer. It was discovered during a recent liver surgery. Carter, 90, announced the diagnosis in a short statement. He did not specify what type of cancer it is, only that it is “now in other parts of my body.” “A more complete public statement will be made when facts are known, possibly next week,” he said. Carter will undergo treatWASHINGTON

ment at Emory Healthcare in Atlanta. Carter underwent surgery Aug. 3 to remove a mass in his liver. While the mass in the former president’s liver could indicate that he has liver cancer, it’s also possible that his cancer started in a different organ and spread to the liver, said Charles Fuchs, director of the gastrointestinal cancer center at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. The liver is one of the most common places for cancers to spread. In some cases, doctors find tumors that have spread to the liver or other areas, but never isolate the original organ where the cancer began, a condition called a “cancer of unknown primary,” said Fuchs, who has

no direct knowledge of Carter’s case. In treating elderly patients, doctors consider whether patients are healthy enough to withstand therapy and whether they have other serious health problems, Fuchs said. He noted that many people in their 80s and 90s are vigorous enough to benefit from treatment. “Age itself should not be a cutoff to treatment,” Fuchs said. Carter, the 39th president, is one of four living ex-presidents, and the second oldest after George H.W. Bush who turned 91 in June. President Obama released a statement wishing for a full recovery. “Jimmy, you’re as resilient as they come, and along with the rest of America, we are rooting for you,” Obama said.

t’s been eight years since Hinde Bariaz went to a medical clinic in this capital city to obtain an illegal abortion. But she remembers the experience vividly. The clinic was dirty, Bariaz said, with air heavy from cigarette smoke. “The doctor was smoking. I had to wonder, ‘Am I in a market?’ It was not safe at all,” Bariaz, 35, said. “You just go inside, you finish the operation and you leave as quickly as possible.” An estimated 800 women get abortions every day in this North African kingdom, and many face the same conditions as Bariaz because abortions are illegal unless the life or health of the mother is at risk. But that may soon change. In March, King Mohammed VI ordered laws restricting abortion be eased in cases of rape and incest. In Morocco, when the king wants something it usually happens: Parliament is likely to approve the change within weeks. The king’s decree came after a controversy involving a Moroccan physician who spoke out on the issue. The Moroccan Ministry of Health fired Chafik Chraibi, chief of obstetrics at a hospital in Rabat, after he criticized the country’s abortion laws in a French TV report in December, but he got his job back in March following outcry on social media. “Women who do not get abortions end up having babies,” and many “abandon their babies and disappear,” Chraibi said. The push to legalize some abortions is encountering opposition from the Justice and Development Party, the conservative Islamist group that leads the government. But Mehdi Bensaid, a young member of Parliament who supports liberalizing the country’s abortion laws, said “this is a good time” to pass the law because many non-profit groups and other political parties are backing the change. Morocco’s current anti-abortion law is common in the Muslim world. A 2014 U.S. government study found that in 47 nations with a majority of

St. Louis County authorities said Wednesday a state of emergency would remain in effect in Ferguson for at least 24 more hours despite no arrests Tuesday night during a relatively quiet evening of streets protests. County Executive Steve Stenger, who had hinted he might lift the order as early as Wednesday, instead said it would remain in place for at least one more day, KSDK-TV reports.

Muslims, 18 do not allow abortions under any circumstances besides saving the life of the pregnant woman, while 10 allow abortion with few if any restrictions. In Tunisia, another majorityMuslim country also in North Africa, abortion has been legal within the first trimester since 1973. Doctors, activists and professors say some Moroccan women try to induce an abortion by ingesting harmful herbal infusions or pills, laying on the sweltering floor of a hammam (bathhouse) or even inserting a sharp device into their vaginas. But women with money can usually find doctors willing to provide a safe abortion, said Imane Khachani, a gynecologist in Rabat. These abortions typically cost more than $1,000, a huge amount in a country where the

Bensaid thinks it will take five or 10 years for Morocco to allow abortions the way Tunisia does. “Maybe one day we will have the same law,” he said. “We must fight to win.”

Police said there were no arrests or confrontations Tuesday night, with officers at one point “negotiating” to convince a group of activists to leave a roadway. Some officers reported rocks being thrown at them, but “police did not take an action, and soon after the rock throwing stopped,” police spokesman Shawn McGuire said in a statement. Although a tactical operations unit was on standby Tuesday night, it was never deployed. Nor was any smoke or tear gas used, police said. The lessened tension came on a day when police released a video showing Tyrone Harris Jr., 18, pulling a gun from his waistband before he was shot by law enforcement during protests in the area over the weekend. The protests were called to mark the first anniversary of the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown. Stanglin reported from McLean, Va.

Beijing is some 6,800 miles away from Wall Street, but what happens in the world’s secondbiggest economy has emerged as the No. 1 driver of wild price swings in the U.S. stock market.

China shocked investors Tuesday by reducing the value of the yuan vs. the dollar.

with Greece’s debt crisis and angst over when the Federal Reserve would begin to turn off the easy-money spigot and hike interest rates for the first time since

2006. But after shocking investors Tuesday when, in a surprise move, it reduced the value of its currency vs. the dollar by the biggest amount in two decades to boost its lagging exports and economy, China has vaulted to the top of investors’ worry list. China’s intervention in the currency market has raised all sorts of red flags, ranging from fears of a big dip in global growth to talk of a brewing “currency war” to worries over a sales and profit slump for U.S. firms that do business in once-booming China. “China is no longer the uber growth market,” says Joe Quinlan, strategist at U.S. Trust. “Worries about China’s growth outlook

have cast a pall over stocks.” Indeed, China angst has sent Wall Street into a Beijing-fueled rollercoaster ride. The Dow Jones industrial average tumbled 212 points Tuesday. Wednesday, it was down more than 275 points, before recouping its losses and closing down less than 1 point. Here’s why China matters to: uFinancial markets. China is so big a part of the global economy that any hiccup in its growth rate or signs of instability in its markets affects everything and everyone. uU.S. businesses. China buys a lot of stuff from U.S. companies, so when its economy goes south, so do profits of U.S. firms.

Hotel giant Wynn Resorts gets 70% of its annual revenue from China. Yum! Brands, parent of Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, gets more than half of its revenue from its Chinese restaurants. uFed rate deliberations. The U.S. central bank is on course to raise rates, but a slowing Chinese economy and negative impact of a stronger dollar resulting from the devaluing of China’s yuan could give the Fed pause. The reason: A strong dollar could hurt U.S. multinationals, an ailing Chinese economy could drag down U.S. growth, and a cheaper yuan could import deflation to the U.S, all negatives the Fed would like to avoid.

The irony of the company’s sustained stock plunge is that it came after Alibaba reported a surge in net income.

5 ways the yuan affects you

From gas prices to jobs, 1B

Alibaba’s IPO filing that talked about its competitive landscape. The company faces stiff competition in its home market from rivals such as Tencent and JD.com. It was easier to overlook those competitors when the Chinese economy and stock market were steaming along. But now China’s economy has cooled — so much that authorities there moved to devalue its currency this week. In July, the country’s major market index suffered its worst monthly drop in six years, reducing the spending power of Chinese consumers. The slowdown has impacted Alibaba, which reported yearover-year revenue growth of 28%, less than the 33% Wall Street expected. The company’s top-line growth rate was also slower than the 34% rate of growth for Alibaba’s gross merchandise value, suggesting the company is getting a smaller commission from each sale of goods on its e-commerce sites. Read that as more competition. The irony of the company’s sustained stock plunge — it’s now down 40% from its highs of last November — is that it came after Alibaba reported a surge in net income. The bearish trading action in the face of higher profit shows that what investors want and expect more than anything

else from Alibaba is top-line growth. Indeed, the 42 equity analysts who cover Alibaba’s stock expect the company to post year-overyear revenue growth of 32.8% for the fiscal year ending next March. But given the company’s fiscal first-quarter revenue miss, those projections now look less certain. The good news is that those retail investors who still believe in Alibaba’s long-term growth can now buy its shares for just 8% more than their IPO price of $68. Yet even those die-hard Alibaba bulls may want to wait before diving in. As we told you here in the wake of Twitter’s April earnings disappointment, shares of companies that miss Wall Street projections tend to keep going down for months. Also, Alibaba’s largest shareholders, including Yahoo, Softbank and some of its top executives, will soon be free to sell their pre-IPO shares after their lockup restrictions expire. Given all this, patient momand-pop investors may soon have the chance to buy Alibaba stock for even less than the professional fund managers who bought into the company’s growth story last year.

ITG settles dark pool plot for $20M Company admits wrongdoing, says it wants to rebuild trust Kevin McCoy USA TODAY

Independent execution and research broker Investment Technology Group (ITG) agreed to a record $20.3 million settlement Wednesday over allegations it operated a secret trading desk and traded against the financial interests of customers who used its dark pool trading venue.

ny operated an undisclosed proprietary trading desk dubbed “Project Omega” for more than a year, the SEC said. According to the regulator, the New York-based company claimed to protect the confidentiality of customers who used its dark pool — an alternative trading venue used by asset managers

and others to trade large blocks of shares without negatively affecting their execution prices. But Project Omega accessed live feeds of order and execution information of ITG subscribers and used the data to execute high-frequency algorithmic trading strategies, the SEC said. Those strategies included trading against company subscribers in ITG’s dark pool, known as POSIT. “ITG created a secret trading desk and misused highly confidential customer order and trading information for its own benefit,” said Andrew Ceresney, director of the SEC Enforcement Division. “They abused the trust of their customers.” The company and its affiliate AlterNet Securities admitted wrongdoing and agreed to pay disgorgement of more than $2

million, representing the total proprietary revenues generated by Project Omega. The companies also agreed to pay $256,532 in prejudgement interest, plus an $18 million penalty, the largest SEC sanction to date involving securities law violations by an alternative trading system. “With today’s settlement, we have put this regrettable legacy matter behind us and are working to rebuild our clients’ trust in ITG,” Maureen O’Hara, chair of ITG’s board of directors, said in a statement after the agreement. According to the SEC settlement order, the securities law violations occurred between April 2010 and July 2011. Although the settlement closed the ITG case, Ceresney left open the potential for additional related charges against individuals.

Pay attention if investors ditch pricey stocks Q: What can kill the bull market? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Bull markets take off when no one is looking. But they can often end when investors aren’t paying attention. Cheap stocks and an increase of participation in the market is what serves as the kindling to get a bull market started. But when stocks get pricey — and some investors might be looking to pull back a bit — that’s when the bull market can find itself in trouble, says Jack Ablin of BMO Private Bank. The combination of pricey stocks and a pullback in interest in buying them is a situation that’s becoming more clear now, which is a warning sign for investors, Ablin says. The Standard & Poor’s 500 isn’t cheap anymore. The popular index of stock’s valuation, based on price to revenue, is 25% higher than it’s been over the long-term history, Ablin says. Additionally, the Federal Reserve is considering adjustments that could make investors have second thoughts about how much they have invested in the market. Another concerning sign is that the market is largely being propped by a relatively small number of gigantic stocks, Ablin says. When investors get nervous, they increasingly “flock” to the smaller and smaller list of stocks that are working, like Google, he says. Quietly, large groups of stocks are already “rolling over.” That’s what ends a bull.

Alibaba to buy back up to $4B in shares over two years Brett Molina @brettmolina23 USA TODAY

Alibaba announced it will buy back up to $4 billion in shares over the next two years, part of a mixed first-quarter results report. The e-commerce giant reported first-quarter revenue of $3.27 billion, falling short of Wall Street estimates of $3.4 billion. The 28% increase in revenue year-over-year marks the slowest pace in growth since Alibaba became a publicly traded company last September. During the fourth

Director Guy Ritchie accepted a difficult mission when he chose to make the big-screen reboot of the spy caper The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Not only did megastar Tom Cruise drop out of the film to make his own — Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation — but Cruise’s replacement for sarcastic American CIA operative Napoleon Solo was British actor Henry Cavill, the earnest Superman in the Man of Steel franchise. American Armie Hammer, best known as the stoic masked lawman in Disney’s disastrous The Lone Ranger, filled the other half of the U.N.C.L.E. pairing as KGB agent Illya Kuryakin. Odd on paper? Certainly. “I wasn’t thinking about them as Superman or the Lone Ranger,” Ritchie says. “Their previous incarnations don’t mean anything to me at all. It’s whether an actor can act.” Hammer and Cavill proved they were up for that task in the slick, often humorous U.N.C.L.E., opening Friday. “I was surprised how well the chemistry worked,” says IMDb

managing editor Keith Simanton. “Ritchie brought out the best in both of them — Hammer’s selfdeprecating humor and Cavill’s impeccable timing and delivery.” Cavill says he enjoyed stepping away from his superhero persona. His American agent Solo “is so different from the characters I have played,” he says. Solo’s sarcastic humor also fits in well with Cavill’s own. Superman “is just too nice of a guy for that,” Cavill says. “But I can be quite dry and very sarcastic a lot of the time. It’s part of my character. You can definitely paint parts of your own personality into a character similar to you.” Another perk: trading the super suit for Solo’s selection of hand-tailored suits and handmade shoes. “The major difference is, I could sit down and be comfortable all day in my Napoleon Solo suit,” Cavill says. “In the super-suit, it’s a very different kettle of fish. You start to feel uncomfortable. But you’re stuck in it all day.” Hammer, who says he still has “dust in my lungs somewhere” from the prolonged desert shoot of 2013’s Lone Ranger, easily transitioned to

shooting in stunning Rome locations such as on the famed Spanish Steps. To keep the mood light on set, Hammer led guitar jam sessions, which included Ritchie. And there was zero diva behavior — a notion reinforced when Cavill and Hammer were both guests of honor at Ritchie’s wedding to Jacqui Ainsley this month. Even a fight scene between Hammer and Cavill’s dueling agents had a realistic and humorous feel to it. “In real life you’re kind of pulling each other to the ground and rolling around,” Hammer says. “That realism in the fight is better than seeing superheroes with hugely choreographed moves and all that stuff.” Hammer already is hoping for a sequel. “If enough people see the movie, the studio will decide to make another,” Hammer says. “And I’ll fight kicking and screaming to send Illya and Napoleon down to the Caribbean.” DANIEL SMITH, WARNER BROS.

Solo and Kuryakin put aside differences to ride together against a common enemy.

TELEVISION

Too many options for a small screen Supply of programs nears breaking point of outpacing demand

BEVERLY HILLS Abundance is not always a boon. We live in a world of ever-expanding TV options, NEWS & where choices of proVIEWS grams, sources, ROBERT schedules and devices BIANCO seem to multiply each day. As FX Networks CEO John Landgraf said last week at the Television Critics Association, we’re reaching that “too much television” breaking point — the point where the supply of original scripted programming outpaces demand. How fast have things grown? According to FX, in 2009, TV and streaming services gave us 211 scripted series. Last year that number grew to 371, and this year we’ll sail pass the 400 mark. Granted, part of the underlying complaint is that in this universe of expanding choices, fewer people are choosing one. Audiences are splintering, decreasing ratings for individual programmers and their shows and threatening established economics. You can’t blame networks for

But that drop also can bring lowered expectations, which is what has allowed a tiny, low-rated gem like Sundance’s Rectify (which ends its season Thursday) to survive. Still, something is suffering beyond big companies’ ability to do big business. The sheer number of options has caused a certain sameness: too many dramas about grim heroes finding redemption in work; too many comedies about horrible people

speaking their horrible thoughts. In that overstuffed sea, our ability to find worthy shows to watch and discuss is faltering, which is dangerous in a business built on buzz. And it makes the rare trend-defiers, such as Fox’s Empire, all the more impressive. TV is a hybrid art form, an individual experience designed to be shared afterward. But how can you share when no two people are watching the same show or — in the case of streaming — are at the same point in the show? Worse yet, while the money to produce shows may be near inexhaustible, the supply of talent isn’t. Expanded opportunities bring new people into the writing and acting pool, but eventually, that pool becomes too shallow and is used poorly. The good (or bad) news is that the law of supply and demand provides its own punishment. In the 1996-97 peak of the Great Sitcom Boom, there were more than 60 half-hour comedies on the broadcast networks’ fall schedules. The result was too many shows like Meego, Union Square and You Wish, and an abrupt 20% percent decline by the end of the decade. Enjoy that abundance now, because the culling is coming.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Nickel Shaw crucial for KU So many new faces. So much for the mostly new Kansas University football coaching staff to evaluate in Saturday’s first intrasquad scrimmage of fall camp. “It tells you who’s really willing to put it in there and who’s not,” defensive coordinator Clint Bowen said of the scrimmage. “A lot of guys can look good when it’s a thud tempo or this or that, when they know it’s not really live. The guys who truly want to play physical show up when it’s live. When it’s not live, you can’t find out. A lot of guys can pretend and work their way through that.” So busy with the challenges of distinguishing pretend- Shaw ers from playing-time contenders on a defense that returns just two starters makes Bowen more appreciative than ever of tough, physical, proven players who have a little Tasmanian devil in them. Players who bring a love for contact, even though pain is an inevitable, ever-present consequence, tend to exceed projections. “Some guys can ignore it and understand that pain doesn’t really mean much,” Bowen said. “Pain doesn’t mean you cry. Pain just means you keep going. Some guys can figure that out.” Nickelback Tevin Shaw, who joins defensive end Ben Goodman as the only returning starters on the defense, is one of those guys. It was playing in the secondary he had to figure out. At Piscataway High in New Jersey, where Shaw was a two-time state runner-up wrestler and a two-time state champion football player, he was a running back and linebacker. Shaw, pointed to KU by a Charlie Weis coaching pal, had been offered a scholarship to play running back for Iowa, but by the time he was ready to commit, the scholarship had gone elsewhere. At Kansas, he red-shirted in 2012, played mostly special teams in 2013 and started eight games at nickelback last season. “He’s strong as an ox, probably one of the stronger guys on the team, definitely the strongest poundfor-pound guy on the team,” Bowen said. “And he’s incredibly tough, and he never fatigues. He’s one of those guys you know you can count on. There’s no softness about him. There’s none of that, and he’s an intelligent young man.” As a senior in high school, Shaw rushed for 304 yards in the state-title game. Iowa wanted him to stay at running back. A softer soul gets discouraged going from that scenario to joining the Kansas secondary. Shaw joined up, tuned

Carrying his weight By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Given that Kansas University running backs Taylor Cox and De’Andre Mann are coming off significant injuries that kept them out of portions of the 2014 season, the Jayhawks could be required to rely on a couple of newcomers to handle a good chunk of the work in the running game this fall. Luckily, included in that group is a 5-foot-9, 185-pound transfer from Navarro Junior College who has never b e e n afraid to carry the load for his team. A l though h e joined the Jayhawks late in the recruiting process after turning down an offer from Iowa, Ke’aun (pronounced Key-on) Kinner went through spring practices, giving him enough of a foundation to carry a ton of confidence into the 2015 season. For Kinner, carrying things has never been that tough of a task. In one game his senior season at Little Elm (Texas) High, Kinner carried the ball 55 times and surpassed the 330-yard mark during a four-point loss to Prosper High. The next week, Kinner added a couple of totes to that tally and finished with 345 yards on 57 carries in a win over Frisco Wakeland. “At the beginning of the season, our quarterback went down, so I had to step up,” Kinner recalled matter-of-factly. “And those games, those weeks, I just got the ball more.” It’s unlikely that any 50-plus-carry weeks await the 2014 National Junior

it muscle — and made it clear that he had not relaxed one bit. “These guys don’t get a lot of time off,” Beaty said. “So I tell ’em, ‘Get away, go have fun, take a deep breath.’ But the real pros, they can’t step away. And I think he’s one of those guys.” W h y did he hit it so hard with his u n c l e in south T e x a s during the break? “Too much at stake,” he said. Asked to elaborate, his serious nature became even more evident. “The season,” he said. “I’m trying to do some things here. From what I’ve heard, you know, I’m a big piece to the team. So I’m trying to live up to it.” It’s not just Kinner’s skills and past success that make him an easy player to identify as an important part of the offense this season. Running-backs coach Reggie Mitchell, who called Kinner “under-recruited,” said the young back’s versatility and ability to run, catch and protect the quarterback in passing situations made him the ideal player to have in any offense. “(His versatility) does a lot because then you don’t have to substitute guys in,” Mitchell said of Kinner, whom he called a hybrid between former KU backs James Sims and Tony Pierson. “It makes the coordinator’s job easier.” The funny thing about Kinner’s triple-threat prowess is that he actually has another dimension that has seldom been seen. “We had a trick pass, RB back to the quarterback,” Kinner said as if telling a secret. “I did that one time. Sixty yards.”

Juco transfer Kinner no stranger to being asked to ‘step up’ College Athletic Association Offensive Player of the Year at Kansas, but that has not stopped Kinner from preparing for such games just in case.

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — After scoring two runs early, the Detroit Tigers appeared to hit the snooze button before reawakening late in the game. Ian Kinsler doubled home two runs in a four-run eighth as the Detroit Tigers sent 10 men to the plate in the inning and beat the Kansas City Royals 7-4 Wednesday night. The loss snapped the Royals’ eight-game home winning streak, their longest since winning their first 11 games in 2003 at KauffPlease see KEEGAN, page 3C man Stadium.

“I know the first couple innings we scored, but we were pretty quiet until deep in the game, until the eighth inning,” Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. “And then we were able to score four off of (Edinson) Volquez and (Kelvin) Herrera, and so it was a nice comeback.” Volquez (11-7) had retired 13 straight batters entering the eighth, which James McJohn Young/Journal-World Photo Cann led off with a single.

McIlroy expects to contend at PGA Sheboygan, Wis. (ap) — Rory McIlroy faces a different set of questions from the last time he played, and he had answers for most of them. His left ankle, with swelling the size of a tennis ball after he heard it snap while playing soccer with friends in early July, felt fine when he got off the plane and began preparing for the final major of the year. His game is good, and he sees no one reason why that will change when the PGA Championship starts today. One other question was a little more tricky. Who’s the best player in the world? McIlroy is No. 1 in the world ranking. He also has watched Jordan Spieth produce an inspiring year in golf by winning the Masters and U.S. Open, and then coming within one shot of a playoff at the British Open. Spieth has four wins this year, one more than McIlroy, though two of them are majors. “If you were to go by this year, you would have to say Jordan,” McIlroy said. “If you go over the last two years, I would say it’s probably a tossup between Jordan and myself. That’s a hard one. OK, we’ve got the rankings there, but it’s all a matter of opinion.” And what was his opinion? “I’ll tell you at the end of the week,” McIlroy said with a smile. The shine came off golf when Spieth’s bid for the Grand Slam ended at St. Andrews. It returned when McIlroy began posting photos and videos last week that indicated he would be playing at Whistling Straits, his first tournament since the U.S. Open. They face off Thursday afternoon, in the same group with British Open champion Zach Johnson. It will be the third time in the last eight majors that McIlroy and Spieth have played together the opening two rounds. It has never received attention like this. “I think that’s just what you guys want to see,” Spieth said. “I think he and I just want to go out there and try and win the tournament. We have to beat each other in order to do that, along with ... 155 other guys. It’s great. We’re all very happy to see him back. I’m excited to just share a couple days with Rory, and Zach as well. “Hopefully, we can all get into contention, and it will certainly be exciting.” McIlroy, the defending champion, said he never targeted the PGA Championship as his return. His test came in Portugal last week when he played — and walked — 72 holes. There was no pain, no swelling. And he knew he was ready. “If I hadn’t passed that test, I wouldn’t have been here,” he said. For all the attention Spieth has earned with his four victories (along with playoff losses at the Colonial and Houston Open), McIlroy hasn’t been a mere spectator to this sensational season. He has three victories, one of them a World Golf Championship, and he had top 10s in both majors he played. Still, there is a degree of uncertainty about his game. It will have been 53 days without competition when McIlroy tees it up Thursday. “Expectation levels are the same,” McIlroy said. “I have played quite a number of rounds of golf. I’ve been practicing for over three weeks getting my game ready, getting my game sharp. I feel like I’m playing well, hitting it well on the range. I’ve taken that onto the course in practice rounds and from there, it’s being able to take it into tournament play with a card in my hand.”

FLANKED BY DRAKE DEFENDERS KYLIE DEHAVEN AND RHIAN PRITCHARD (8), KANSAS UNIVERSITY FRESHMAN PARKER ROBERTS, CENTER, uses her head to send the ball into the back of the net on a corner kick during Kansas’ 5-0 exhibition victory over Drake on Wednesday at Rock Chalk Park.

KU soccer blanks Drake J-W Staff Reports

Senior Ashley Williams swiped a poorly played ball by the opposing goalkeeper and slammed it into an open net less than six minutes into the match to key Kansas University to a 5-0 rout of Drake in a college soccer exhibition

match Wednesday night at Rock Chalk Park. Kansas scored all five of its goals in the first half of its first of two exhibitions. “We did a lot of things well tonight, but what I was most impressed with was our mentality,” KU coach Mark Francis said. “We moved the ball well, and I thought our defense

was really solid, especially since we had a few people sitting out tonight. We still have some things we need to straighten out, but tonight was definitely a good start for us.” Williams added another goal and an assist; freshman Parker Roberts had two goals and an assist; Courtney Dickerson

netted a goal; and Anna Courtney and Bailey Bravard each had an assist. Kansas outshot the Bulldogs 25-8 and held the edge in shots on goal, 12-3. KU will host North Dakota State at 1 p.m. Sunday at RCP, then travel to Nebraska for its regularseason opener on Aug. 21.

KANSAS BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK Gabriel cuts KU Wenyen Gabriel, a 6-foot-9 senior forward from Wilbraham and Monson in Massachusetts who is ranked No. 84 in the Class of 2016 by Rivals. com, on Wednesday cut Kansas University from his list of prospective schools. He tells ESPN he has a final five of Kentucky, Duke, Maryland, UConn and Providence.

Markieff Morris told his hometown Philadelphia Inquirer on Tuesday. “If you want to put that out there, you can put that out. I don’t give a (bleep). I am not going to be there at all. That’s just what it is.” Markieff Morris last September signed a fouryear, $32 million contract extension that begins this season. Marcus signed a four-year, $20 million extension. “I’ve got to show up. No question,” said Markieff, who will be fined if he skips any part of training camp. “You can’t do that. I will be a professional. Don’t get me wrong. But it won’t get that far. … I’m going to be out before then,

should be,” he added to the Inquirer. The twins recently pleaded not guilty to two counts of felony aggravated assault in an incident last January. The Inquirer says “the Morrises’ defense attorneys asked a Maricopa County Superior Court judge to return the case to a grand jury because they said prosecutors falsely presented information that led to an indictment. The state has until Aug. 21 to respond to the motion.” “They can tell you anything about the case and all of that. Nah, it has nothing to do with that,” Markieff said. “That’s just all disrespect and all unpro-

intangibles, it’s pretty much just a matter of time before they figure it out.” CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C Nickelback is a vague term that can mean in, and his responsibilianything from a third ties steadily grew. cornerback to an extra “It was just a matter linebacker, depending on of time to learn the little the team. nuances of footwork and Bowen said KU’s reads and keys and all nickel is a hybrid safety/ that,” Bowen said. “When linebacker. a kid has all those other To hear him describe

Lottery pick KU freshman Cheick Diallo will be selected No. 14 in the first round of the 2016 NBA Draft, ESPN’s Jeff Goodman predicted Wednesday. Ten of Goodman’s lottery picks (first 14) are freshmen. “He’s still awaiting NCAA clearance, but Diallo can be a Ben Wallace type of player due to his tenacity, rebounding ability and toughness. The big question is his skill level,” Goodman writes of Diallo. — Gary Bedore

first recruiting class, which was 27-deep. Shaw and seven others remain: Greg Allen, Courtney Arnick, Taylor Cox, Tyler Holmes, Schyler Miles, Tre’ Parmalee and Jordan Shelley-Smith. Eight is not enough, but those who remain tend to be long on much-needed toughness for a team so short on depth.

DETROIT RELIEF PITCHER BRUCE RONDON POINTS SKYWARD following the Tigers’ 7-4 comeback victory over the Royals on Wednesday in Kansas City, Missouri. Rondon earned a save.

Anthony Gose, and Jose Iglesias had an infield single on a swinging bunt to load the bases with none out. Kinsler doubled down the left field line to score McCann and Gose to finish Volquez’s night. Manager Ned Yost said Herrera warmed up in the bullpen ready to come in to face Kinsler, but he opted to stick with Volquez one batter too long. “That’s my fault, too,” Yost said. “I’ve got a pretty hard fast rule that I don’t let my starter get beat in the eighth inning and I did it there. It cost Eddie a win and cost us a win.” J.D. Martinez’s single scored Iglesias. Kinsler scored on Tyler Collins’ fielder’s choice grounder as Detroit sent 10 to the plate in the inning. “Volquez was tough,” Kinsler said. “He was commanding his off-speed

St. Joseph, Mo. (ap) — The Kansas City Chiefs’ Jamaal Charles sounded off on the ineptness of his offensive line last season following Wednesday’s practice, a rare departure from the normally buttoned-up running back. Charles acknowledged the hodge-podge of bodies the Chiefs had block for him was a big reason why his productivity dipped last season. It was also one of the reasons the Pro Bowl running back spent most of the season in the trainer’s room. “It was rough, know what I’m saying? But at the end of the day, this is the National Football League. You get paid to do your job,” Charles said. “It was really rough last season, but at the same time, we won (nine) games with an average line.” Charles is already imagining what they might do with even modest upgrades. Kansas City lost starting guard Jeff Allen to a season-ending injury in Week 1, then had to make do with fill-ins Mike McGlynn and Jeff Linkenbach the rest of the way. But not only is Allen back, the Chiefs traded a fifthround pick to the New Orleans Saints to land former Pro Bowl offensive guard Ben Grubbs, giving the line a muchneeded veteran presence. Throw in another year of experience for left tackle Eric Fisher, the former No. 1 overall draft pick, and Charles suddenly has a bit more bounce to his step. “When you have a line, that gets you excited,” he said. “You want to stay on the field. You want to give your all, because they’re going to give you all they have to win the game. I’m glad we went out there and got some experience on the line. It means we want to win.” The Chiefs have yet to settle on a starting five, though, in part because there is so much competition. Just this week, they moved some pieces to come up with a new starting unit, one that will likely get first-team reps in their preseason opener Saturday in Arizona. Fisher is entrenched at left tackle, and Grubbs at left guard, but rookie Mitch Morse has supplanted Eric Kush at center. Zach Fulton has regained his job at right guard, and Allen has

pitches really well, and when he’s doing that, he’s one of the best in the game, and tonight he threw the ball great. We were just able to break through there in the eighth.” Volquez, who had given up three or fewer runs in his previous seven starts, was charged with six runs, five earned, on eight hits over seven-plus innings. “I can’t tell you where we are in the standings, but we show up every day to win,” McCann said. “We still feel like we’re chasing October. We’re still chasing the playoffs. Despite what outside people may think, in this clubhouse we’re still chasing a postseason spot.” Neftali Feliz (2-3), the former Texas Rangers closer, picked up the victory, retiring all three batters he faced. Bruce Rondon worked the ninth to log his second save in two chances. Victor Martinez drove in two of the Tigers’ runs with a sacrifice fly in the first and a double in the ninth. Lorenzo Cain had two of the Royals’ hits, includ-

CHIEFS RUNNING BACK JAMAAL CHARLES CARRIES during practice Wednesday in St. Joseph, Missouri. kicked out to tackle, replacing Donald Stephenson on the first unit. “I’m getting comfortable with the group,” Charles said. “I feel like Grubbs and Fish, they’re building chemistry. Then you’ve got Jeff, he wants to play. He missed football last year. He wants to play. He’s just happy to be on the field, do whatever it takes.” In a bit of levity, Charles actually forgot the name of his rookie center. But he knows that Morse was a stalwart at Missouri, and that “he has experience playing at a high level.” Charles may have taken a few shots at last year’s offensive line, but quarterback Alex Smith also alluded to its shortcomings during a brief moment with reporters. “It was tough last year in the sense of the moving parts,” Smith said. “We had a bunch of guys who came in late. We were trying to fit it together, even as camp ended. We were picking up guys that were stepping in and playing. This year, we are a little deeper. The pieces are here right now, whereas last year that wasn’t the case at this point.” Notes: WR Jeremy Maclin hopes to play against the Cardinals. He returned to practice Wednesday after missing two days with a neck strain. Asked whether it occurred in his fight with CB Marcus Cooper, Maclin simply laughed. “Nah, I don’t know,” he said. ...

ing a double, and scored a run. He is 11-for-19 (.579 average) on this homestand. Four of the Royals’ six hits went for extra bases, including Alcides Escobar’s RBI triple in the third. Escobar scored on the play on Iglesias’ throwing error. Tigers’ rookie lefthander Daniel Norris, who was acquired from Toronto in the David Price trade, permitted four runs on six hits in 61⁄3 innings.

Keep that ball After Ben Zobrist walked and Cain singled with one out in the fifth, Ausmus strolled to the mound and Norris gave him the ball. Ausmus gave him the ball back, keeping him in the game. “It shows he has confidence in me, has confidence in my stuff and my competitive nature,” Norris said. “The first thing he said, like was, ‘I’m not taking you out, I just want to give you a breather.’” Norris promptly got out of the jam when Eric Hosmer grounded into a double play.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

M’s Iwakuma no-hits O’s The Associated Press

American League Mariners 3, Orioles 0 Seattle — Hisashi Iwakuma has become the second Japanese-born pitcher in major-league history to throw a nohitter, leading Seattle to a victory over Baltimore on Wednesday. Iwakuma struck out seven and walked three in throwing the first no-hitter by an American League pitcher in nearly three years. He joins Hideo Nomo, who threw two no-nos, as the only Japanese-born pitchers to accomplish the feat. Iwakuma is the fourth pitcher to throw a nohitter this season, joining Philadelphia’s Cole Hamels — prior to his trade to Texas — Washington’s Max Scherzer and San Francisco’s Chris Heston.
