New push for child support payments Topeka (ap) — Kansas is hoping a new ad campaign will lead to millions of dollars of new child support collections. The campaign, which was announced at a news conference Friday, will urge businesses to report new hires for collection purposes, The Topeka CapitalJournal reports. Kansas law currently requires employers to provide the names of newly hired workers to the Department of Labor within 20 days of the hire. The workers are checked against a list of individuals owing support, and if a positive match is reported, the state begins withholding support from the worker’s paycheck. But the law provides no penalties for businesses that don’t report new hires, and the Department for Children and Families said a “large percentage” of employers aren’t doing so. Officials couldn’t provide an exact percentage. “When employers report their new hires in a timely fashion, it also helps cut down on fraud, and we’ve made a big focus on helping to prevent and combat fraud in our division,” Labor Secretary Lana Gordon said. Trisha Thomas, DCF child support services director, said employers are typically only notified of the requirement to report new hires when they become a business. The advertising campaign is about educating businesses, she said. “We look at our current support based around other states and we’ve seen in other states, once you get a larger number reporting, you get a substantial increase in child support collections based upon more income withholdings and more new hires,” Thomas said. The campaign has a budget of about $50,000, but more could be invested if it is found to be effective. The advertisements feature bright colors and several taglines. One tagline reads: “You can’t make sure Kansas kids get to school on time. But you can make sure they have the support they need.”

than the previous formula.” The new law gives districts stable funding grants for the next two years and replaced a perstudent formula for distributing more than $3.4 billion a year in state aid. Brownback and some GOP legislators argued that the old formula was too complicated and didn’t get enough dollars into classrooms. It also sometimes forced unanticipated increases in state aid, adding to the pronounced budget stresses after GOP lawmakers slashed personal income taxes in 2012 and 2013 at Brownback’s urging in an effort to stimulate the economy. Republicans who helped write the new law said they anticipated some districts would see enrollment increases or face other problems, so they set aside the extra dollars. One of them, House Appropriations Committee Chairman Ron Ryckman Jr., an Olathe Republican, said the number of requests is “about what I expected.” But Senate Ways and Means Committee Chairman Ty Masterson said the volume may reflect a push by educators — many of whom don’t believe the new law adequately funds schools — to show that lawmakers were wrong to enact it. “The money is there

for a truly extraordinary need,” the Andover Republican said. He and Ryckman are among the lawmakers reviewing the requests. The issue of whether schools are receiving the money they need is now before the state Supreme Court in the form of a lawsuit from four districts, including Kansas City. According to critics, the requests for extra aid highlight a big flaw in the new funding law: It doesn’t automatically increase a district’s aid when student population grows. “The old formula was more flexible in responding to conditions in the districts,” said Gail Dunbar, superintendent in the Plainville district in northwestern Kansas, which is seeking $466,000 in extra funds. The new law, she said, has “taken away our flexibility.” The Kansas City district gained more than 500 students. Without extra aid, the district will have to hunt for savings in order to hire new teachers while avoiding an increase in local property taxes, spokesman David Smith said. In southwest Kansas, the 320-student Satanta school district would likely need to increase property tax levies, tapping homeowners and businesses who’ve already suffered economically because of the decline of the oil industry, said Superintendent Jeff Bollinger. The value of property associated with oil production dropped

dramatically this year, by nearly $486,000 — leading the district to seek help. Plainville has a similar problem. The 22 districts that saw property values drop with oil prices, including it and Satanta, are mostly in western Kansas and are seeking nearly $6.5 million in extra state aid.

Service dog fun facts
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Of that, $19,000 was earmarked to purchase the two dogs, with the rest going to equipping patrol vehicles for them and paying for vet bills and food. LPD Patrol Division Capt. Anthony Brixius, who oversees the PSD program, said the dogs came from a special service-dog breeder in Eastern Europe and were shipped to San Antonio. Brixius, the dogs’ two handlers — Officers Matt Weidl and Kevin Henderson — and Sgt. Casey Cooper went to San Antonio earlier this year to pick out the dogs, who were put through a series of tests before selection, Brixius said. “You don’t want a dog that’s easily distracted or has tendencies to fight other animals,” Brixius said. “You look for sociable dogs. How much do they want to work? It’s eye-opening.” Brixius said that’s because the dogs will sometimes search areas with people nearby or residences with pets, so the dog needs to be able to stay focused on the duty at hand. Brixius said the dogs came “green,” meaning they hadn’t been trained prior to purchase. When the four brought the dogs home, Henderson and Weidl were sent to Topeka for 10 weeks to train the animals to become PSDs through a grueling, intensive program with the Kansas Highway Patrol. There, the dogs learned to become multipurpose service dogs. Brixius said that while some police dogs are only specifically trained to sniff for bombs or drugs, C.B. and Kai can detect narcotics and human scent, plus “displacement,” which is when a dog can tell where a person changed a scene, such as by stepping on and crunching down grass in a given area. And those abilities can save a lot of manpower — and lives, depending on the situation, Brixius said. The longer it takes to begin a search for an object — like a tossed gun that could end up in a child’s hands — the harder it is for a dog to pick up its scent. That was a problem prior to having a police dog unit, when Brixius said police had to rely on outside agencies like the Topeka Police Department or Johnson County Sheriff’s Office to offer their assistance. If those agencies’ dogs were busy with something in their jurisdictions, Lawrence officers were left to do the dogs’ jobs — without the benefit of a supersensitive sense of smell. Such was the case in an incident last year when police investigating an armed robbery believed the suspect had discarded a gun, Brixius said. While it could have
l When Lawrence police bought C.B., he came with the name “Cheeseburger.” That name doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, so police shortened the name to C.B. l Kai’s original name wasn’t as colorful — Brixius said it was something like Jeff or Tom. Kai’s handler was the one who picked out his new name. l The PSD’s commands are given in German, which Brixius said has become the new standard in police dog training. But Brixius said many of the German commands sound like the officers are speaking in English. l The PSD handlers are trained to speak in high voices when trying to get the dogs excited to work. Brixius said that hearing the tough police officers speak in high pitches is entertaining to some of the other officers. l There were many applicants who applied to be PSD handlers, Brixius said. Officers Kevin Henderson and Matt Weidl were selected because of their fitness, work history and decision-making skills. l Officers are cautioned not to playfully shove the handlers when the PSDs are around, Brixius said. That’s because the dogs are trained to protect their handlers.
taken police hours on end to find the hidden evidence, a dog called in from Topeka was able to find the gun beneath some brush near the scene much faster. “Without the use of canines, a search could take 10 hours,” Brixius said. “They are primarily a locating tool; we set up a perimeter and let him do his work.” For instance, the dogs were seen assisting police July 29 during a search for three suspects in a high-speed police chase that ended at Sixth and Michigan streets. The three went in separate directions, and officers were able to find the suspects within about 15 minutes. Though it’s not every day that the PSDs are needed to find a hiding suspect or hidden crucial evidence, Brixius said that C.B. and Kai typically help with a drug call at least once per shift they work. Because the dogs have such important responsibilities, they are not treated as pets. While your dog at home might get a treat and a belly rub for performing a trick, C.B. and Kai get a quick throw of a dog toy as their rewards. And when they go home with their handlers, you won’t see them sleeping at the foot of the bed — instead, they sleep in crates inside their respective
handler’s residences. Brixius said that all officers — apart from the handlers — are directed Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo to never touch the PSDs. Further, only the handler LAWRENCE POLICE DEPARTMENT DOG HANDLER MATT WEIDL uses hand signals to communicate with C.B. during a recent training session. is allowed to feed and praise the dogs. “Even I have never petted them, and I drove all the way back from San Antonio with them,” Brixius said.

Naismith CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
that was started by his late father, renowned Lawrence sculptor and KU professor Elden Tefft, who died on Feb. 17. Tefft says his father conceived of the idea for the Naismith sculpture around 2001 or 2002 and began working on it in earnest around 2004. A quick look at the Teffts’ workshop shows the idea was never very far from the sculptor’s mind. Various likenesses and pieces of Naismith iconography are scattered around the room, including a wall of 17 reference photographs of Naismith, a full-size clay model toward the entryway and two other dust-covered small-scale models sitting side-by-side high on a shelf overlooking everything. “He was one that would always start a project, often times without necessarily having a buyer,” said Tefft of his father. “It was just a good idea and he wanted to do it. And he always imagined that KU would be one of the first places to get the Naismith statue.” Although it will not be the first home for Tefft’s Naismith statue with two currently existing in both Almonte, Canada, Naismith’s birth place, and Springfield College in Springfield, Mass., where Naismith invented the game, KU will be the final home of the sculpture completing what Kim Tefft calls an “international tri-memorial” of Naismith. The sculpture itself features the game’s inventor sitting back straight, sharply dressed wearing

My father wanted a piece that would carry itself in an outdoor environment. At the same time he wanted something intimate enough that people could interact with it, sit beside it and get their pictures taken with it. I think it will have a strong draw that way.”
What is ‘Look’? “Look” is a new monthly feature by Journal-World photographer Nick Krug that looks in depth at topics of interest — particularly visual interest — in our community. This is the inaugural feature. his signature round-framed glasses with legs straddling a peach basket and a basketball in his right hand. The piece, which is being funded by KU Endowment, is planned for display in the lawn in front of the DeBruce Center, as confirmed by Jim Marchiony of Kansas Athletics. The DeBruce Center is currently under construction to house Naismith’s official “rules of basket ball,” the founding document of the game. “That building is being designed as a destination point, so there will be a lot of people that will come to see that, not just at basketball game time,” Tefft said. “My father wanted a piece that would carry itself in an outdoor environment. At the same time he wanted something intimate enough that people could interact with it, sit beside it and get their pictures taken with it. I think it will have a strong draw that way.” As far as the statue’s importance to his father, who also created the Moses sculpture, which kneels outside of Smith Hall, and the Academic Jay, which is perched outside of Strong Hall, Tefft offers, “He grew up in a time that was contemporary with Dr. Naismith (and) Phog Allen. KU was always important to my father. It gave him lots of opportunities to research and create. He was always

Next year you could share someone’s writing that does a better job of recognizing the meaningful roles many courageous and capable women have played and continue to play in shaping our nation.

‘Hero’ likable, as is its main character HBO invites viewers to get lost in Yonkers in the new miniseries “Show Me a Hero� (7 p.m.). This serious and seriously engaging six-hour effort unfolds in two-hour helpings over the next three Sundays. Appointment television has returned to HBO. ‘‘Hero� has so many superlative qualities. Let’s start with its star. The versatile Oscar Isaac (�Inside Llewyn Davis�) is the heart and soul of the production. He’s Nick Wasicsko, first seen as a rookie council member in Yonkers, N. Y., a city of 200,000 just north of the Bronx. He’s chosen as a sacrificial lamb to run against longtime mayoral incumbent Angelo Martinelli (a superb Jim Belushi), but fate conspires to see Wasicsko elected. Voters turned out against Martinelli because he was seen as accepting a federal judge’s (Bob Balaban) order to introduce 200 units of low-income housing into Yonkers on the “white� side of a highway. The first two hours of “Hero� focus largely on the besieged city council, with a few loose story lines about Yonkers city residents on both sides of the divide. David Simon (“The Wire�) adapted the true story from a book by former New York Times correspondent Lisa Belkin. ‘‘Hero� moves a tad too slowly at times and I could do without its many musical montages set to Bruce Springsteen songs, as well as maudlin scenes of Wasicsko conducting one-sided conversations at his father’s gravesite. But those are minor quibbles. Oscar Isaac’s overwhelmed 28-year-old mayor is instantly likable and sympathetic. And, like its central character, “Hero� is quite easy to love.

What is the proper way for a judge to express sorrow for this kind of mistake? — Grandma Dear Grandma: Your anger is understandable, but misplaced. Judges are not obligated to express sorrow for misreading a case, either directly or indirectly. The fact that this particular judge chose to do so, even through the secretary, showed that he was sensitive to your grandchildren’s potential reaction.

KPERS strategy The state’s recent dismal record on economic predictions may make Kansans uneasy about the latest plan to fund the Kansas employees retirement system.
I
t’s hard to have a lot of confidence that the Brownback administration’s strategy to shore up the troubled Kansas Public Employees Retirement System will work as well as state officials predict. Last week, the state successfully sold $1 billion in bonds at an overall interest rate to its investors of 4.68 percent. That meets the 5 percent interest cap set in the legislation approving the bond issue. The state, which will repay the bonds out of the general fund, now plans to reinvest the $1 billion and use the earnings to help cover benefits owed to retired state employees. State officials are working on the assumption that the reinvested funds will earn an 8 percent return. Supporters of the bond issue compare the move to using a lower-interest loan to pay off a higher interest credit card, which seems like a strategy that would mostly be used by someone who already was struggling with too much debt. Nonetheless, Senate Pensions Committee Chairman Jeff King maintained last week, “This isn’t a crap shoot on the part of the state.” Maybe not, but it still involves some risk. A lot can happen over the 30-year term of the bonds. Based on the state’s history with similar investments, an 8 percent average return isn’t unreasonable, but it’s also not guaranteed. State lawmakers agreed to this funding approach for KPERS so that it could reduce the state’s contribution to the retirement fund and shift that to other areas needed to balance the state budget. That’s probably not a winning strategy, according to Moody’s Investors Service, which released a report just before the Kansas bonds were sold, saying that the move would do little to fix the state’s long-term problem with KPERS. The Moody’s report said that by issuing the bonds, the state was exchanging “soft” liability (the unfunded pensions) for a “hard” liability (the appropriation debt). The use of the bonds to provide “near-term budgetary relief” was seen by Moody’s “as one of the indicators that the state is having trouble balancing its budget.” That’s not something Kansans want to hear from an agency that already had downgraded bond ratings for the state and its Department of Transportation. In addition, a report from the Center for Retirement Research at Boston University said last year that using pension bonds reduces a state government’s financial flexibility. A March report from Municipal Analytics Inc. in Westport, Conn., described the use of pension bonds as “always the wrong choice” in part because it allows the state to take a “holiday” from pension contributions. State officials point out that the problems with KPERS began long before Gov. Brownback took office. That’s true, but it seems that the bond strategy may be just a different way to kick this financial can down the road to some future administration. It’s far from a sure thing, but Kansans certainly should hope that the bond sale proves to be at least a step in the right direction for KPERS. LAWRENCE

Attentive factions thrive in obscurity Washington — You probably never knew of the federal funding of museums commemorating America’s long-gone whaling industry. The funding existed for nearly 9 years, until 2011, because almost no one knew about it. A mohair subsidy continues six decades after it was deemed a military necessity in the context of the Cold War. The subsidy survives because its beneficiaries are too clever to call attention to it by proclaiming it necessary, which of course it isn’t. To understand these two matters is to understand how American government functions. And why James Madison, whose flinty realism is often called pessimism, was too optimistic. Federal funding went to whaling museums in three states from which whalers went to sea (Massachusetts, Alaska and Hawaii) and in Mississippi, which was not a home of whalers but is the home of Republican Sen. Thad Cochran, an Appropriations Committee titan. The whaling program, which cost about $9 million in its last year, was administered by the Department of Education. It objected to doing this, which is one reason the funding ended: Government changed because part of it was annoyed. Also, a congressman publicized the subsidy. The $9 million was a piddling smidgen of a fraction of the federal budget, as is the $5 million wool and mohair subsidy. It was smuggled into the 1954 National Wool Act, which was supposed to

“
For a century now, Weiner writes, the national government has been hyperactive in distributing economic advantages to attentive but inconspicuous factions. This will not stop.” stimulate wool production, lest we run short when next we need 12 million uniforms for a two-front world war. Mohair had nothing to do with this supposed military necessity, but mohair producers wanted a seat on the gravy train. Their subsidy became briefly notorious and briefly died (it was resuscitated when no one was any longer paying attention) after Jonathan Rauch called attention to it in his 1994 book “Demosclerosis.” Rauch’s neologism describes government that is resistant to change because it is solicitous toward many minor but attentive factions. These clients thrive in obscurity because of the law that governs much of government, the law of dispersed costs and concentrated benefits. Taxpayers do not notice, unless
someone like Rauch tells them, the costs of subsidizing whaling museums or mohair, but the subsidies mean much to those who run the museums or produce the mohair. Similarly, consumers do not notice the cost of sugar import quotas added to the sugar they consume, quotas that substantially enrich sugar producers. And so on and on. This is why minorities constantly manage to milk money from majorities, which is not how Madison thought things would work. Greg Weiner, an Assumption College political scientist, notes that, in Federalist Paper 10, Madison confidently says minority factions will be defeated by “the republican principle,” which enables the majority to trounce the minority “by regular vote.” But what if, as usually happens, there is in no meaningful sense a “regular vote” on minority appetites? The whaling-program subsidy was born as a barnacle on the 2001 No Child Left Behind education bill. There was no majority-minority conflict about it because only the wee minority of whaling enthusiasts and a few solicitous legislators were paying attention. Madison counted on conflict, but gargantuan government is, because of its jungle-like sprawl, mostly opaque. So there is what Weiner calls “dissipation of conflict.” And Weiner suggests that this, which enables minorities to feed off the inattentive majority, is the result of what Madison
thought would inhibit abusive majorities — the size of what Madison called an “extensive” republic. His revolution in democratic theory was this: Hitherto, it had been thought that if democracy were at all feasible, it would be so only in small polities. Factions were considered inimical to healthy democracies, and small, homogenous societies would have fewer factions. So, Madison favored an extensive republic because it would have a saving multiplicity of factions. They would save us from tyrannical majorities because all majorities would be impermanent coalitions of minorities. For a century now, Weiner writes, the national government has been hyperactive in distributing economic advantages to attentive but inconspicuous factions. This will not stop. Why? James Joyce said his readers should devote their entire lives to understanding his fiction (not that a lifetime is long enough to fathom “Finnegans Wake”). If Americans devoted their lives to mastering the federal budget’s minutiae, gargantuan government might behave better. But what economists call the “information costs” of such mastery would be much higher than the costs of just paying the hundreds of billions that the subsidies cost. There is a name for what this fact produces: demosclerosis. — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Aug. 16, 1915: years “Lawrence may ago have a new auto IN 1915 light ordinance soon for Mayor W. J. Francisco has a model law, which was drawn up by City Attorney Tom Harley, in his possession today, and it is probable that some action will be taken on it at the regular session of the city commissioners tomorrow morning at 9 o’clock.... The new ordinance will provide, if it passes the board, that all lights on autos without dimmer attachments, shall be focused, hooded or painted so that the directing ray of the light shall not be focused more than 2 1/2 feet above the surface of the ground.... ‘The searchlights on the big cars are what is causing the trouble,’ said Mayor Francisco today, ‘and we are going to stop the nuisance if we can. The police and other city officers have received many complaints from citizens about the conduct of night joy riders who insist on flashing the lights from their cars on sleeping porches and into windows of residences. To say the least this is a contemptible trick and we are going to have it stopped. If a man can’t sit on his back porch in negligee in this hot weather without the automobile population of the city spying on him, we are going to know the reason why. I maintain that everyone has a right to keep cool on such nights as last evening and the fellow who makes one wear a bathrobe to keep from exposing himself to the gaze of the autoist, is causing a lot of discomfort to the people of the town who haven’t cars of their own to joy ride and keep cool in.’... Many complaints have come into the city offices, particularly from residents in the south part of the city, on account of the nuisance and Sunday night couples have had to conduct themselves with great propriety, it is said, even when sitting in dark corners on father’s porch, for they never can tell when a car is going to sweep around the corner and turn the brilliant electric lights on them.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

Energy CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
Clean Power Plan Sloan serves on several national advisory committees to agencies such as the Department of Energy, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC, and the National Conference of State Legislatures that deal with state and national energy policy. So when the Environmental Protection Agency this month rolled out its new Clean Power Plan, which aims to reduce carbon emissions from power plants by 30 percent from their 2005 levels within the next 15 years, Sloan said he knew what it would mean for the state, and he thinks Kansas is far from ready to meet those goals. In June, weeks before the Clean Power Plan was unveiled, Sloan spoke at a meeting of the Department of Energy’s Electricity Advisory Committee about the use of new technologies to improve the reliability of the nation’s electric grid. Sloan is a supporter of clean energy. And unlike many of the conservative leaders of his party in the Statehouse, he does not dispute the science that shows carbon emissions are a leading cause of global climate change. But he said it will take more to make clean energy a viable reality than simply putting limits on “dirty” power. “You really need to run a nuclear plant full bore all the time,” he said. “Jeffrey Energy Center (near St. Marys) and LaCygne (in Linn County) are inefficient. That’s today. If you close the coal plants, and there are no (other) plants that are scheduled to be built, then it becomes more difficult.” Distributed energy “One of the many committees I serve on was created by the Department of Energy, and it’s called GridWise Architecture Council, or G-WAC,” Sloan said. “We work on how distributed energy can fit into the system. Part of it’s engineering, and we don’t do that. We do the conceptual stuff. How do you saddle up the marketplace so customers and utilities are negotiating with each other?” Pausing from his sandwich, Sloan looked out the window of the restaurant. “You take the strip mall across the way,” he said. “If Dillons becomes a generator, why couldn’t they sell to J&S Coffee, or some other store? Then
. STATE
you get into, who’s going to make sure that the transactions are visible? Because the utility needs to know, and the (Kansas Corporation) Commission needs to know.” Sloan said Kansas is far from having the kind of regulatory framework that would make such transactions possible. And currently, he said, electric utilities and the KCC are moving in the other direction. The most notable example, he said, is the ongoing Westar Energy rate request being heard at the KCC. Originally, Westar had asked to add a surcharge onto bills of residential customers who generate some of their own power through rooftop solar and other home systems. Westar’s argument was that those customers still rely on being connected to a power grid. But if they are allowed to reduce their bills dramatically through self-generation, the cost of maintaining a reliable power grid would fall on everyone else. “Our concerns regarding customers with their own generation have potential to drive up costs for other customers,” said Westar spokeswoman Gina Penzig. “Our feeling all along has been that those who are benefiting from the power grid should share in the cost.” But environmental groups, along with a Lawrence-based company that makes and installs solar panels, strongly objected to that, saying the proposed surcharge would take away the financial incentive to install such systems, potentially putting those companies out of business. “Instead of raising mandatory fees, we encourage Westar to charge customers for the energy they use,” said Dorothy Barnett, director of the Climate and Energy Project, a statewide environmental group based in Hutchinson. “This is the best way to preserve incentives to use less energy and avoid burdening those Kansans who use the least energy with a disproportionate amount of the cost.” As part of a proposed settlement announced Aug. 6, Westar agreed to drop that surcharge request from the current rate case so it can be heard separately, after the company’s other rate requests are settled. But Sloan said he believes Westar was right, that it does have to maintain a reliable system, and that all customers should contribute to that cost. And he said Americans, including those in the environmental movement, may need to accept the
L awrence J ournal -W orld fact that electricity will cost more in the future, and that customers may have to start prioritizing their spending decisions. “Look at people’s electric bills, and compare it to their cable bills. And especially the (combination) plans,” he said. I’ve got voice, data and television that costs about $300 a month. It’s a lot more than my electric bill. Is this worth it?”
State legal challenges On Friday, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt announced he had joined 15 other states in filing a new legal challenge to the Clean Power Plan, arguing that the EPA lacks the legal authority to make such regulations. “This regulation appears to have more to do with rushing to restructure the energy sector of the American economy than with protecting the environment,” Schmidt said in a statement released Friday. “If that sort of dramatic and costly restructuring is warranted, it should be decided by the people’s elected representatives in Congress, not by unelected bureaucrats at the EPA. This unaccountable, governmentknows-best approach smacks of central economic planning. The agency’s rush to force states to implement its new directives makes the whole process even more suspect.” Sloan, however, said he believes the EPA not only has the authority, but that such challenges by states are a waste of time. “Utilities have to make decisions,” he said. “Attorneys general can file lawsuits, but if utilities are going to be subject to fines of $10,000 a day, they need to be making investment decisions.” He pointed to a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling on another recent EPA regulation, the “Mercury and Air Toxins Standards,” or MATS, a regulation that Schmidt’s office also took part in challenging. Schmidt claimed victory in that case because the court overturned the regulations, saying EPA should have taken costs into account before issuing the new rules. But Sloan said the more important result was that the court upheld EPA’s authority to regulate mercury emissions. “That tells me that the court’s probably going to rule that they can regulate carbon,” he said. “So we’re going to move in that direction. The question is the speed.”

by High-Dose Vitamin E Supplements Slow “Functional� Decline in Alzheimer’s Tracking the research on vitamin E often feels like a ride on a roller coaster with its many ups and downs. But a new study confirms the findings of one published back in 1997— that taking large supplemental doses of vitamin E slows the functional decline in people with Alzheimer’s disease. The results of the study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, received a surprisingly positive response, given the fact that it was published just days after other researchers in a different journal publicly argued that vitamin supplements were worthless. The Alzheimer’s study, led by Maurice W. Dysken, MD, of the Minneapolis VA Health Care System in Minnesota,
The independent newsletter that reports vitamin, mineral, and food therapies
focused on 613 military veterans who had been diagnosed with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease. Most of the subjects were men, and all of them were taking drugs known as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, which prevent the breakdown of a key brain chemical.
In effect, people taking vitamin E were able to successfully continue these habits for an average of 6.2 months—or almost 20 percent—longer than people taking placebos. People taking the drug or the combination of drug and vitamin showed no benefits. There was another benefit from the vitamin E. Caregiver time for people taking the vitamin was about two hours less each day, “decreasing caregiver burden,� according to the researchers. Furthermore, every indication was that the vitamin E supplements were safe.
Patients in the double-blind study were divided into four groups, with about the same number receiving (1) 2,000 IU of vitamin E, (2) 20 mg of the drug memantine, (3) a combination of the vitamin and drug or (4) a placebo for an average of 2.3 years. Neither the vitamin nor the drug improved the cognitive functioning or memory of the patients. However, people taking vitamin E benefited from a significantly slower decline in their day-to-day functional activities, such as feeding themselves, getting dressed and personal grooming.
In an accompanying editorial, Denis A. Evans, MD, of Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, noted that the study was of particularly high quality. He noted that the benefits of vitamin E were “encouraging,� but that the drug was “not encouraging.� Reference: Dysken MW, Sano M, Asthana S, et al.

Kayla Mueller, an American aid worker who died in February while being held by the Islamic State, was repeatedly raped during captivity by Abu Bakr alBaghdadi, the terror group’s leader, according to counterterrorism officials and Mueller’s family. Accounts of Mueller’s ordeal were first reported by The Independent, a British newspaper, and confirmed by her family to the Associated Press and ABC News.

Kayla Mueller worked as a humanitarian worker in Syria before being captured in August 2013.
Mueller, who was 26 and from Prescott, Ariz., was taken captive in Syria in August 2013 while leaving a Spanish Doctors Without Borders hospital in Aleppo. Al-Baghdadi, the self-proclaimed “caliph” of the Islamic State, brought her “live and in person” to the home of Abu Sayyaf, a Tunisian in charge of oil and gas revenue for the group, counterterrorism officials have told ABC News. The details of Mueller’s treatment were initially reported by several Yazidi girls who were held at the house, including a 14-yearold and her sister who managed to escape in August 2014, The Independent reported. The teen’s version was corroborated by U.S. officials.

The Yazidi teen eventually made her way to Iraqi Kurdistan, where she talked to U.S. commandos in November 2014, the Associated Press reported. Intelligence agencies corroborated her account and American officials passed it on to Mueller’s parents in June. Additional information came from Abu Sayyaf’s wife, Umm Sayyaf, who was captured in May by U.S. Special Forces. Abu Sayyaf was killed in the raid, which also yielded a treasure trove of intelligence about the terror group. During lengthy American interrogation in Iraq, Umm Sayyaf confirmed al-Baghdadi had “owned” Kayla, the Muellers said they were told by American officials. Kevin Johnson

TERRY BYRNE AND PAUL TRAP, USA TODAY
here was perhaps no more attractive small brand in the lucrative U.S. gun industry than PTR Industries. The semiautomatic riflemaker had just announced its intention to leave Connecticut more than two years ago, when it was besieged by recruitment proposals from at least 44 states. All of them sought to lure the growing gunmaker shortly after the Connecticut Legislature — in a political coda to the Newtown school massacre — made it effectively illegal for PTR and some other rifle manufacturers to sell their products anywhere in the state. The new law was so restrictive that Josh Fiorini, PTR’s chief executive officer, feared it exposed employees to criminal charges for transporting unfinished firearms to assembly contractors just a few miles beyond the company’s Bristol headquarters. “It was the last straw,” Fiorini said recently. “We were going to have to move.” Yet what followed for PTR, almost as soon as it reopened last year in gun-friendly rural South Carolina, stands as a cautionary tale for the politically volatile industry in which some of the biggest names in the business — Mossberg, Remington and Beretta — have recently launched or are plotting moves and expansions outside longtime bases throughout the Northeast. Larry Keane, general counsel for the National Shooting Sports Foundation (the industry’s trade association), could not recall a similar period in the industry’s recent history marked by so much displacement. PTR’s relocation plan was a surprisingly easy call in the midst of a market boom driven by unprecedented panic buying. Gun enthusiasts emptied the shelves of dealers across the country, fearing that even more restrictive federal gun laws would be next. As quickly as potential back orders for PTR rifles surged to v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B
Japan emperor offers ‘remorse’ on WWII anniversary Remarks viewed as subtle rebuke to Prime Minister Abe
“I earnestly hope that the ravages of war will never be repeated.”

Emperor Akihito, 81
Japan’s emperor expressed “deep remorse” for his nation’s wartime behavior Saturday on the 70th anniversary of Japan’s World War II surrender. “On this day to commemorate the war dead and pray for peace, my thoughts are with the people who lost their precious
lives in the last war and their bereaved families,” Emperor Akihito, 81, said. “Reflecting on our past and bearing in mind the feelings of deep remorse over the last war, I earnestly hope that the ravages of war will never be repeated.” The brief remarks made at the ceremony in Tokyo were nearly identical to those in previous years with the exception

of “deep remorse,” a phrase he hadn’t used previously, Japanese media reported. The event began at noon with a moment of silence to mark the exact date and time when Emperor Hirohito — the father of Emperor Akihito — announced in a nationwide radio broadcast that Japan had surrendered to the United States and Allied Powers on Aug. 15, 1945. Japan Today reported the emperor’s departure from his normal script could be seen as a subtle rebuke of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. The ceremony came a day after Abe fell short of a full apolo-
gy for his nation’s wartime atrocities, expressing only “utmost grief.” Instead, he endorsed past statements of government apologies and indicated frustration at calls for Japan to continue to apologize for its past mistakes. “I bow my head deeply before the souls of all those who perished both at home and abroad. I express my feelings of profound grief and my eternally, sincere condolences,” Abe said in a carefully worded speech on national television Friday. Leaders in China and South Korea have refused to meet with Abe one-on-one since he
took office for a second term in December 2012, largely because of disputes over Japan’s wartime conduct and colonial-era policies. Abe drew fire in December 2013 when he visited the controversial Yasukuni Shrine — where 14 wartime leaders convicted of war crimes are enshrined. On Saturday, he stayed away, sending a ritual offering to the shrine of the war dead as he has done in previous years. Abe instead laid flowers at a national cemetery where unidentified Japanese soldiers who died in WWII are buried.

nearly 100,000, the bubble burst, company officials said. Proposed federal legislation to renew the controversial assault weapons ban failed, as did a prospective expansion of background checks for all gun buyers. The panic that had sustained record sales shifted from buyers to manufacturers, who were left with hundreds of thousands of rifles in their inventories. Within six months of what was to be a move full of anticipation for increasing fortunes, Fiorini and company vice president John McNamara were issuing layoff notices. Just when things couldn’t get any worse for the fledgling company, they did. Earlier this year, the first person PTR hired in South Carolina — a popular county councilman who helped organize the firm’s move here — fatally shot himself near the company’s new headquarters. Though the shooting was apparently related to chronic health problems and did not involve a company firearm, Fiorini said Bob Grabowski’s death represented the company’s darkest moment since uprooting from Connecticut. “It was a perfect storm,” he said.

Gunmaker hit turmoil after attack, new laws
NEWTOWN CHANGES ALL
On the December day in 2012 when a young gunman stormed Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., PTR’s chief executive was meeting with an architect to discuss a long-planned expansion of the growing company. The riflemaker, with nearly 50 employees, had outgrown its quarters in Bristol, and Fiorini was eager to put down a larger footprint in a region that has been associated with gunmaking since the Revolutionary War. The Sandy Hook shooting changed everything. The expansion plans were immediately suspended; they were scrapped for good when state lawmakers approved a package of legislation that, among other things, outlawed assault-style weapons that PTR and other local manufacturers produced, created a gun-offender registry and banned ammunition magazines containing more than 10 rounds. Other states, including New York, Maryland and Colorado, enacted similarly strict measures. While a raft of proposed federal firearms legislation largely foundered, including an effort to renew the assault weapons ban that had expired in 2004, the state actions generated a recruitment effort by gun-friendly governors that continues to alter the geography of guns. The commitments followed: uConnecticut-based Mossberg chose to expand in Texas. uSturm Ruger & Co., headquartered in Connecticut and with large operations in New Hampshire and Arizona, selected North Carolina for its first major expansion in 25 years. uRemington Arms Co., founded in 1816 in Ilion, N.Y., picked Alabama to host its new venture. uBeretta is set to begin moving much of its entire U.S. operation next month from Maryland to Tennessee. “We started our search by looking only at states that have a consistent history of support for and likelihood of future support

For many of the industry’s biggest names, the moves involved expansions to escape restrictions, while PTR uprooted its entire manufacturing operation. Keane said the recruitment continues still. “We are constantly getting calls from state economic development officials,” Keane said. “It’s not with the frequency that we experienced in 2013, but they still come.” Like other suitors, South Carolina had a lot to offer its recruits: the promise of a cavernous 58,000-square-foot manufacturing site; a hungry, non-union labor pool; and a cost of living that could melt some of the worst memories of doing business in the Northeast. For PTR, which spent an average of $70,000 per year just to clear the snow from its parking lot, the sunny climate and proximity to Myrtle Beach (about 30 miles east) was gravy on a deal that was announced in June 2013. “Look what happened in South Carolina today,” Gov. Nikki Haley said then, highlighting the $8 million investment and the promise of nearly 150 jobs. “You have a great American company in PTR Industries that could have picked any state in the country to go to, and they chose South Carolina. FORTUNES SHIFT
While the welcome couldn’t have been warmer, the reality of the changing gun market sent a shiv-
er through the company’s headquarters soon after it opened last year on Aynor’s Cool Springs Drive. With the bursting of the rifle market, PTR fortunes nosedived. Production dropped from 9,600 rifles in 2013 to 4,000 last year, forcing the layoffs of eight workers just six months after opening amid so much optimism. Unlike other, larger firearm companies with more diverse product lines, PTR struggled mightily.
“We knew a (market) cool-off was coming,” Fiorini said. “But we didn’t know how steep or how long it would last.” The losses were compounded by the cost of physically moving the company, all of its sensitive machinery and 23 of its 46 Connecticut employees 752 miles south to Aynor (population: 647). The convoy of 42 trucks, including 14 flatbeds, did not come cheap. It cost about $600,000. PTR was beginning to regain its footing this year when Grabowski took his own life March 31. McNamara and Fiorini said they knew that Grabowski, who orchestrated much of the company’s transition, suffered from chronic back pain. Yet the suicide was something they never saw coming. “We didn’t know how much he really did for us,” Fiorini said. MARKET UPSWING
South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley warmly welcomed PTR’s arrival to the state.
The Sandy Hook shooting changed everything. PTR’s expansion plans were immediately suspended.
PTR is now beginning to feel the benefits of a new spike in firearm purchases. The surge, not surprisingly, also follows a spate of deadly shootings across the country, including the June 17 massacre at a church in Charleston. Last month marked the third straight month of increasing FBI background checks required of gun purchasers at federally licensed firearms dealers. July’s 1.6 million checks were up nearly 300,000 from July 2013. The number of checks recorded in each of the past three months also marked monthly records. The actual number of firearms sold in recent months is likely

PTR is looking to capitalize on its new home by offering a new commemorative rifle, with the South Carolina state seal etched on the barrel and stamped with its “Made in Aynor, S.C.” label. Although the company is about a year behind on delivering on its promise of nearly 150 local jobs, PTR still enjoys the strong support of the county and the state. “They are back on the road,” Horry County Council Chairman Mark Lazarus said. “If you looked at the gun industry overall, it took a pretty significant hit, but it has rebounded and so has PTR. We’re very happy with them.” Republican state Rep. Alan Clemmons, whose district includes Aynor and who helped lead the recruiting effort that landed PTR, said the state has pursued other firearm companies just as aggressively. One of them, Stag Arms, is another Connecticut riflemaker. “We would be delighted for (Stag Arms founder) Mark Malkowski and Stag Arms to call South Carolina home,” Clemmons said. Malkowski said he regularly corresponds with interested states and will “continue to keep our options open.” “We will only expand our business in a state that supports what we do,” he said.

RAND PAUL RAMPS UP TRUMP ATTACKS Paul’s 2016 GOP presidential campaign hasn’t exactly caught fire in its opening months. Now, the Kentucky senator is engaged in an increasingly personal war of words with Donald Trump. On Monday, Paul released a statement in which he slammed Trump as a “fake conservative.” Later, Paul doubled down on that attack line in a YouTube ad. That prompted a sharp response from Trump who challenged Paul on, of all things, his golf skills. “Recently, Rand Paul called me and asked me to play golf,” Trump told The Washington Post. “I easily beat him on the golf course and will even more easily beat him now.” CARLY FIORINA GETS POST-DEBATE BUMP Fiorina, the former HewlettPackard CEO, was widely seen as the winner of the undercard GOP debate on Aug. 6. Fiorina told CBS This Morning on Wednesday that many GOP voters didn’t know who she was before the Cleveland debate. She said she believes now that voters know “she is capable of not only winning this job but doing this job.” A Franklin Pierce University/ Boston Herald poll in New Hampshire, site of the first primary, showed her gains among Republican voters there. Fiorina moved up to fifth place in the Granite State, with 9% support.

WASHINGTON Just before Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal stepped on stage in New Orleans to announce his bid for president in June, the Rev. Mark Foster and a handful of pastors from across the state prayed with him. “He has good Christian values that definitely resonate with me and much of the Christian community,” said Foster, pastor of the Pentecostals of the Twin Cities in West Monroe. “I think it would resonate with many, many people. ... If he gets in there and actually is able to get his message out in these (early-voting) states, I think he can stand a good chance.” Jindal, who just wrapped up a five-day campaign swing in Iowa and returns there Sunday, also hopes his message of faith resonates with voters as he courts evangelicals, who are influential in states where ballots are cast early in the presidential nominating contest. But political experts say Jindal faces a major challenge standing out among a field of 17 GOP candidates, including better-known contenders targeting the same voters, such as former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. “He’s certainly trying,” said John Pitney, a political scientist at Claremont McKenna College in California. “However, when you have Mike Huckabee in the race, it’s kind of hard to be the most evangelical guy out there.” On the campaign trail, Jindal, 44, repeatedly touts his faith and family values, including his opposition to abortion and to legalizing same-sex marriage. He also often talks about his conversion from Hinduism to Catholicism and the need to protect religious freedom. “The governor is a fervent defender of religious freedom rights and will continue fighting to preserve the First Amendment,” said Shannon Dirmann, a Jindal spokeswoman. “He is also not afraid to talk about his faith and finding Jesus Christ. That said, he doesn’t believe in dividing Americans and is going after 100 percent of the vote.” A July Washington Post-ABC News poll of Republican-leaning voters who are white evangelicals put Jindal’s support at 3% among GOP presidential contenders. Donald Trump was the most popular at 20%, followed by Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (14%) and Huckabee (12%). Santorum had just 2%. Dirmann dismisses early polls, calling them “fluid and topsy-turvy.”

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal touts his faith and family values while courting evangelical voters, talking about his conversion from Hinduism to Catholicism and protecting religious liberty. “Momentum is building and voters are signing up at our town halls,” she said. Jindal not only hasn’t distinguished himself, but appears to be “getting increasingly desperate” and making comments “almost to the point of sheer madness,” said Albert Samuels, chairman of the Political Science and Criminal Justice Department at Southern University in Baton Rouge. Samuels pointed to Jindal’s comments in June that Lou-
the state may be violating federal law. “These are desperate attempts by this governor to somehow distinguish himself,” Samuels said. “You have to keep upping the ante.” Pitney said many GOP candidates are talking about religion, noting that Huckabee is a former preacher and Walker repeatedly reminds audiences his father was a preacher. And retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson “might as well be a preacher,” Pitney said.

Earlier this month, Jindal announced plans to stop reimbursing Planned Parenthood for services provided to Medicaid recipients. Federal health officials, however, warned last week that
“The question is, what is Bobby Jindal’s unique selling proposition?” he said. “I don’t see a clear answer to that question. Most people aren’t even noticing him.” But the Rev. Gene Mills, president of the Louisiana Families Forum in Baton Rouge, said it’s hard for “the most normal’’ GOP candidates, such as Jindal, to attract media attention.
“As long as the debates remain the zoo-like environment that the media’s been fixated on creating, we’re going to have the funniest animal at the zoo who gets the most attention,” said Mills, who said he’s been Jindal’s prayer partner for more than a decade. Democratic critics say Jindal’s efforts haven’t worked. “His numbers in the polls say all that need to be said,” said former Louisiana senator Mary Landrieu. “There’s nothing about Gov. Jindal that would warrant him getting more than 1 percent in the polls. What would he have to offer the country? He’s left the state budget in shambles. He’s raided every trust fund — left us a deficit as far as the eye could see.” Jindal supporters counter that he’s been in the forefront on key issues, including vowing not to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. “I have a feeling the young man might be what everybody’s looking for — they just hadn’t noticed that guy who keeps generating all these good ideas,” said Mills. “It ain’t courting. He’s a covenant brother and he’s been that way for a long time. He just does so naturally.”

Trump answered: “I would do that, yeah, if I had to.” He added: “I make $400 million a year, so what difference does it make?” Trump has said he’s worth $10 billion; a study by Bloomberg News puts the figure at $2.9 billion or more.

Britain aims to keep young Muslims from joining ISIS

As the United States and South Korea gear up for this week’s annual joint military exercises, North Korea warned Saturday of “all-out military action” unless Seoul cancels the plans and halts its anti-Pyongyang broadcasts along their joint border. Seoul informed Pyongyang on Saturday that the annual joint exercises, which North Korea has long condemned as a rehearsal for war, will be held Monday through Aug. 28. The United Nations Command informed North Korea of the plan through a loudspeaker at Panmunjom, the truce village inside the demilitarized zone, South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reported. In a statement carried by the North’s official Korean Central News Agency, an unnamed spokesman for the National Defense Commission threatened to take “the strongest military
counteraction.” “The DPRK (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) is the invincible power equipped with both the latest offensive and defensive means unknown to the world, including nuclear deterrence,” the spokesman said. South Korea resumed its antiPyongyang broadcasts Monday in response to a land mine explosion inside the demilitarized zone between the two countries that left two South Korean soldiers severely injured, Yonhap reported. North Korea has dismissed as “absurd” charges that it had planted the devices. “If our military wanted a provocation for a military purpose, we would have used our mighty firepower instead of fiddling with three land mines,” North Korean authorities said, according to the Korea Joongang Daily. In a separate “open warning” issued by North Korea’s military leadership, Pyongyang demanded that South Korea remove all means of “psychological warfare” or face “all-out military action.” “If they turn down the demand

of the DPRK, it would start an allout military action of justice to blow up all means for ‘anti-North psychological warfare’ in all areas along the front,” the North’s command said in a statement carried by Korean Central News Agency. The latest saber-rattling coincides with reports that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered the execution of the country’s vice premier earlier this year. Citing unnamed sources, Yonhap reported that Choe Yong Gon, 63, was shot dead in May after expressing “discomfort” over Kim’s forestation policy. In another apparent purge, senior officials from Seoul’s National Intelligence Service told South Korean lawmakers in a May hearing that North Korea’s defense minister, Hyon Yong Chol, was executed by anti-aircraft fire for disloyalty and showing disrespect to dictator Kim, The Wall Street Journal reported. An unidentified official with South Korea’s NIS later told CNN that while the agency was sure Hyon had been “purged,” it had not confirmed he was executed.

The fictional clip shows a young British Muslim man, presumably a captive of the Islamic State group, sitting alone in a prison cell. The man receives a letter from his brother in the United Kingdom expressing regret over the sibling’s support for Islamistbacked terrorist campaigns. “I wish I could see your face,” the brother says in an emotional voiceover. “I’d tell you I was sorry. I wish I could take back every time I sent you a tweet or got all gassed up saying that the West has turned its back on us.” The video has been greeted by bricks as well as bouquets after the London-based Quilliam Foundation released it on YouTube last week. The clip aims to stop young British Muslims from leaving the U.K. to join the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS, in Iraq, Syria and other parts of the Middle East. It joins an increasingly crowded market of online counter-extremism campaigns in Britain. Quilliam works closely with the British government, the European Union and various human rights organizations to counter Islamic State social media propaganda. “No family should lose another loved one to such hatred,” says a message accompanying the video on YouTube. “Not another child. Not another sister. #NotAnotherBrother.” That message was written by London-based ad company Verbalisation, which employed former British Army officers to make the Quilliam video using “PSYOPS,” which stands for “psychological operations.” Sven Hughes, Verbalisation’s founder and a former reservist with the British Army in its fight against the Taliban in Afghanistan, said in an interview with the Daily Telegraph that he didn’t see anything wrong with using the military’s psychological method.

CALAIS , FRANCE The British and French governments are cracking down on the thousands of migrants from Africa and the Middle East who have set up camps on the outskirts of this port town in northern France in hopes of sneaking into Britain on ferries or through the Channel Tunnel. The British government recently announced it will spend up to $11 million to improve security, including new fencing near the “Chunnel” that connects England and France. Britain deployed 120 extra police to the port. And French officers sprayed tear gas this month on a group that cut through nearby fencing. Pascal Aerts, who leads the French team that polices the migrants, told the BBC that fences are a short-term solution that push the migrants to other places with weaker security, possibly at ports in the Netherlands and Belgium. Migrants have also begun gathering at nearby Dunkirk, France, hoping to cross into England. British Prime Minister David Cameron provoked outrage recently by referring to the migrants as a “swarm.” “He should remember he is talking about people and not insects,” said Harriet Harman of the left-leaning Labour Party. The recent crackdown follows a number of desperate attempts by migrants to enter the Channel Tunnel. In one incident last

month, more than 2,000 tried to enter the tunnel, followed by 1,500 the next day. British Home Secretary Theresa May said the government is running ad campaigns with the French to “tackle myths about life in the U.K.” A secure waiting area for trucks bound for the U.K. was set up so they don’t have to wait on open roads where migrants can board, she said. The so-called jungle camp of tents where the migrants have set up housing seems an organized, sometimes jovial, holding place. A procession of men walk the hour between the camp and the town center, while others crack jokes with friends as they get meals provided by a local charity. The predominantly male camp has a church and a barbershop. Many have risked their lives to get here, coming from conflictravaged countries such as Sudan, Syria and Afghanistan or from
Eritrea, where many are fleeing compulsory conscription. “I want to go to England,” said Muzammil Mohamed Ali, 22, from Darfur in Sudan. “London is in my heart.” The tech graduate told USA TODAY he wants to study further in England and work in IT. His friend Abdullbashe Mosa, 26, also wants to make the move. “There are big problems in Darfur,” he said. “I want to learn English. When I go there it will be good for me because in Sudan the second language is English. But I think nowadays it would be difficult to go to the U.K.” Many of those fleeing conflict, poverty and persecution are desperate to reach England. Andy Mohamed, also from Darfur, crossed the Mediterranean Sea by boat to Italy, before getting a train to Calais. “The sea was very dangerous,” he said. Mustafa Alatoom, 28, left Daraa in southern Syria a year ago because of the ongoing war. He didn’t want to do national service and traveled through Turkey, Greece, Macedonia, Serbia, Hungary, Austria and Germany to reach Calais, which took a month. “I’m not going to do national service and kill my people,” said Alatoom, a languages graduate. Asked about stopping migrants from crossing the English Channel, he said: “They think they will stop people going to England? All the world used to be British and French colonies, and now they don’t want us to go to their countries. We want normality.”

Critics disagree. On the eve of the video’s release, Sadakat Kadri, a British lawyer, told The Guardian, “The problem with Quilliam is that it just doesn’t have any credibility … it isn’t an intermediary to anyone within the Muslim community.” A senior Muslim leader who asked to remain anonymous added, “The moment young Muslims hear the name ‘Quilliam’ they switch off. They say it’s part of the British government, ... that it puts out anti-ISIS propaganda with the help of the British Army, police and (the Secret Intelligence Service) MI6.” Ken Bromfield, one of Britain’s top education specialists, said he saw a need for more education about radical Islam. “The need in Britain right now is to have ongoing debates in schools, colleges, universities and on social media about the very nature of Islam,” he said. “Difficult questions must be asked if we want to stop young Muslims drifting towards the extremists.” This story is part of a series on religious tolerance and combating hate speech online, brought to you with support from Google.

SINGING MONKS TOP BILLBOARD CHARTS

T
he ancient city of Norcia in central Italy is legendary for its wild boar sausages and black truffles, but now it’s known for something else: singing monks. “We sing the praises of God nine times a day. So if you add all that up, it’s probably five hours every day, rain or shine, 365 days a year,” said Cassian Folsom, the American-born priest who leads St. Benedict’s Monastery in Norcia. People no longer need to travel to this birthplace of St. Benedict to hear the monks, because their chants and hymns are on a CD that has topped the Billboard charts this summer in classical, traditional music. “There’s a great hunger and thirst that people have, even nonbelievers, for something or other, which they generally call spirituality,” said Folsom, 63. “If the CD can respond to that need, then we’d be very pleased.” Across the USA, such monastic music is experiencing a renaissance. The Benedictine Sisters of Mary Queen of Apostles from Gower, Mo., topped the Billboard charts three times in the past two years with their recordings. The Dominican Sisters of Mary from Ann Arbor, Mich., released a CD. And an increasing number are celebrating milestones with CDs, such as Mount St. Scholastica Monastery and St. Benedict’s Abbey, both in Atchison, Kan., for their 150th anniversaries. The gentle tones of a Gregorian chant — and the many voices singing as one — create a calming, ethereal quality that at its core is not a performance — it is prayer. “You have to believe in what you’re singing,” said Folsom, who studied voice at Indiana University, where he felt the call to life in a monastery. The monks’ CD, Benedicta, is music based on Scripture, especially Psalms and the life of the Virgin Mary, plus passages from the 1,500-year-old guide for monastic living, The Rule of St.

Benedict. “Some of these are very, very dear to us and very familiar prayers,” said Basil Nixen, 33, an Arizona-born priest and choirmaster of the monastery. “I simply hope that the beauty, the order and the peace of the music will lead all who listen to it to seek the source of that peace.” Christopher Alder, a Grammywinning producer from England, traveled to Norcia to oversee the recording sessions. “The chant that we record means something to them,” Alder said. “You can hear that in the sincerity of their singing. It does have something in the best sense that’s hypnotic, or meditative. It has something eternal to it.” Although Norcia is a centuriesold city nestled beneath the mountains of Umbria, no monks had lived there for nearly 200 years — until they moved back 15 years ago. In the early 1800s, the monks were evicted under Napoleonic laws in a wave of anti-clericalism. About 15 years ago, nearly everyone in the city — about 5,000 people — signed petitions asking the global leader of the Benedictines to bring them back. Of the monastery’s 17 monks, 12 are American. “The townspeople, they look to the monks if they have problems, if they want to talk to somebody,” Folsom explained. “To have the monks back after almost 200 years helps to complete the identity of the town.” The monks also have to be selfsupporting, so when they aren’t

A renovated garage below the monastery serves as a brew hall and the basement as a bottling room. Five monks are assigned to a “brewing team,” but all the monks work shifts at bottling time. Birra Nursia was served at the papal conclave in 2013 that elected Pope Francis. And yes, the Norcia monks occasionally toss back a few cold ones. The beer is more of a “drawing card for evangelization” than the music, Folsom admitted. “Even if people are not churchgoers, everybody likes to drink

beer,” he said. “So they come to the monastery for the beer and pretty soon they start talking about other things, other more important things.” That matters to Folsom. The monk was recently diagnosed with a recurrence of cancer, multiple myeloma, which he first battled in 2006 and thought he had beaten. It’s in remission again, but he has been told it could return and may be fatal the next time. “As anybody who is diagnosed with cancer, it changes your life,” he said. “I think it’s given me greater patience, greater tolerance.” His diagnosis also brought him closer to the people of Norcia. “Anyone nowadays who gets diagnosed comes to me, because there is an immediate kind of bond,” Folsom said. “So what it has done, aside from the acceptance of death, is make me more compassionate to those who suffer similar things.”

VW
IN THE HOT SEAT VOLKWAGEN AIR-BAG WOES Volkswagen has launched a massive recall because of its own air-bag problems. The recall encompasses 420,000 vehicles, according to the automaker’s filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The problem is that a spring in the steering wheel assembly can become fouled, ripping a cable that controls the electrical connection to the front air bags. If that happens, the air bags won’t deploy in a crash. The problem does not appear to be linked to the ongoing Takata air-bag recalls that have encompassed 11 automakers. The automaker says it is working on a solution to the problem. VW says owners will see a warning light for the air bag if the car is susceptible to the problem.

weli Garbutt, 17, has big plans to be a forensic pathologist. But for now, the high school senior from one of the city’s tougher neighborhoods would just like to get her foot in the door at a Starbucks or Chipotle. “I feel like that when people hear I’m from the southeast side, it’s a barrier,” Garbutt said. “I don’t know, but I think when people hear where I am from, they think I’m going to act out or something.” Garbutt was among the roughly 4,000 young people taking part last week in the first job fair of the 100,000 Opportunities Initiative, a coalition of 29 major companies that have pledged to make a dent into the problem of youth unemployment that disproportionately affects minority communities. The project, being spearheaded by Starbucks, was launched this summer as the company’s CEO Howard Schultz pushed the company to make social responsibility a core part of the company’s identity. Roughly 51⁄2 million Americans ages 16 to 24, who are referred to as “disconnected youth,” are neither working nor are in school. The demographic is disproportionately AfricanAmerican and Latino. Companies in the coalition, which has pledged to hire 100,000 disconnected youth over three years, hired hundreds on the spot at Thursday’s job fair. Many of the executives sat down with young participants, who told the company chiefs about the complications they face as they try to break into the workforce.

In Chicago, which was picked to

Teen employment is a strong predictor of success. Those who worked as teens tend to have higher earning potential than those who didn’t and are more likely to enroll and graduate from college. Taxpayers spent roughly $26.8 billion in 2013 on incarceration, Medicaid, public assistance and Supplemental Security Income payments associated with disconnected youth, according to the Social Science Research Council. Kristopher Williams, 20, who has struggled to find work, said of the fair after meeting Schultz: “I hope it won’t be just a photo op.”

Retailer has virtual reality in store Jefferson Graham USA TODAY
VENICE BEACH , CALIF. Welcome to this reality — a store where you can buy shoes, eyewear and coffee, and also take a 360-degree immersive video trip to Peru. Shoppers at the Toms flagship store here can don Samsung’s Gear VR virtual reality goggles, which are tapped in to a Samsung phone, in what’s believed to be one of the first consumer retail VR experiences. Virtual reality is a huge buzzword in the Hollywood and gaming communities, as folks look to eye-popping photography directly to your eyes as the next big thing and a way to get the mobile generation entranced.

Customers’ top request has always been to “go on a giving trip,” says Toms founder Blake Mycoskie. “Now, with VR, we can take them to Peru ... and when they take the headset off, your whole world is now upside down.” The project wasn’t cheap. He spent about $250,000 to produce the four-minute film, shot on cameras that saw in front, sideways and backward, and $1,000 each for the Gear VR setups. The bigger cost is staffing, he says, to

walk customers through the experience and talk to them afterward. So far, VR is playing well with his customers. “Awesome,” says Brad Smith, visiting from Sacramento. “I felt like I was there. When one of the kids waved, I wanted to wave back.” Dan Cegla, in from Portland, Ore., said the VR gave him a different experience than 2-D, “which you experience as a detached outsider. This makes you feel more connected.” Toms has five retail stores, where the VR is set up, plus locations in outlets like Whole Foods. There, Toms plans to bring the VR units periodically. Tim Bajarin, an analyst with Creative Strategies, says VR will be an acquired taste for retailers until the price comes down. “A lot of major brands will look into it, but until units are in the $100-$200 range, it won’t be viable for them,” he says.

BENEFITS TO EMPLOYERS
Special for USA TODAY
Saving for retirement is something that every American should be doing. In reality, many do not. That’s why many financial experts, government officials and even businesses are increasingly advocating automatic savings plans to prepare for retirement. Tim Guilford, a registered principal at Raymond James Financial Services, says that “procrastination and inertia” are the most common hurdles to savers and that automatic enrollment in a company-sponsored plan like a 401(k) is a great way to counteract those challenges and cut through the guesswork.
“If you help workers do the right thing, they rarely take steps to undo it.” Geno Cufone, Ascensus
“To be honest, nobody takes finance classes other than nerds like me,” says Guilford, who oversees about 75 companysponsored retirement plans. “So when you’re presented on your first day of work with a list of all our funds and asked how much you want to put in our plan, people are poorly equipped to make those decisions.” The problem is not only the intimidation factor, but the fact that saving is emotionally difficult for many of us. Humans psychologically “frame savings as a loss,” UCLA economist Shlomo Benartzi says, because our spending necessarily is reduced in the short term. That pain affects behavior more than any long-term benefits we won’t experience for years or even decades to come. YOU’RE STILL IN CHARGE
Rather than ask workers to overcome these hurdles, then, companies can remove those barriers altogether with automatic enrollment in a 401(k). To be clear, automatic enrollment in a 401(k) plan doesn’t

Returning to work can affect Social Security Q
Is it possible for me to refile after going back to work to see if I can increase my Social Security benefit? Also, is it possible to claim spousal benefits on my ex-spouse’s record? I was six weeks shy of being married for 10 years. And, I want to piggyback my Social Security with a pension from Canada. What are some ways to increase my benefits? BEVERLY MCPHERSON, DOVER, DEL.

If you are already receiving A Social Security benefits and you decide to return to work,
there is no need to refile an existing claim to potentially receive a higher benefit amount, says Stephen Stellhorn, author of Navigating the Maze of Social Security. Social Security calculates a beneficiary’s primary insurance amount (PIA) based on their highest 35 years of inflation-adjusted earnings, Stellhorn says. Even if you have 40 years of eligible earnings, Social Security will take the highest 35. “So, if by going back to work you expect your annual earned income to be higher than one of those existing years already being used, say maybe 30 years ago, Social Security will include your most recent earnings year, drop the lowest year’s earnings of the 35 and recalculate your PIA,” he says. “If you continue working next year, the process will repeat again.” As for claiming spousal benefits on an ex-spouse’s earnings, the Social Security rules are very specific. “The marriage must have lasted at least 10 years before the divorce creed was finalized,” he says. “Unfortunately, even if you are just six weeks shy of reaching that 10-year mark, you will not be eligible for spousal benefits on your ex’s earnings record.” As for your last question, Stellhorn says being a Canadian citi-
zen who also worked in the U.S. adds complexity to determining your benefit amount. “In 1984, an agreement became effective between the U.S. and Canada,” he says. “It improved Social Security protection for people who work or have worked in both countries. In addition, it also helps protect the benefit rights of people who have earned Canadian Social Security credits based on residence and/or contributions in Canada.” So, for example, you may have Social Security credits in both the U.S. and Canada but not enough to be eligible for benefits in one or the other. “The agreement makes it easier to qualify for benefits by letting you add together your Social Security credits in both countries,” Stellhorn says. Here’s how he says it works: An initial benefit is determined based on your U.S. earnings as if your entire work history had been completed under the U.S. Social Security system. Since Canadian credits helped to make the benefit payable, this initial benefit is reduced. The amount of the reduction is dependent on the number of U.S. credits. The more U.S. credits, the smaller the reduction. The fewer U.S. credits, the larger the reduction. If you qualify for Social Security benefits from the U.S. based only on U.S. credits and a Canadian Pension Plan/Quebec Pension Plan benefit from Canada, the amount of your U.S. benefit will be subject to the Windfall Elimination Provision and will be reduced. Receipt of a Canadian Old-Age Security pension, which is based on residence in Canada, will not affect the way your benefit is figured.
Q
I am a 67-year-old male who is currently not working. I am a U.S. citizen. I applied for and then suspended my Social Security benefits last year when I turned 66. My plan is to wait till I turn 70 to restart my Social Security benefits. In my early life, I was working 20 years for the government in my native Romania. Then I moved to the U.S. I was employed 20 years for different companies and paid Social Security taxes. For my 20 years of work in my native country, I am entitled to get a pension of about $160 per month. For my 20 years of work in the U.S., I will get about $2,100 per month from Social Security. My question: How will my $160 pension benefit from another country affect my Social Security benefits when I turn 70 and start getting U.S. benefits? Will it be diminished? If yes, how much? JOHN DOBREA LA MIRADA, CALIF.
To determine whether your A Social Security benefits will be reduced — because of what’s
called the Windfall Elimination Provision — you’ll need to answer questions related to your foreign pension and your Social Security benefit, says Brian Vosberg, president of Vosberg & Associates in Glendora, Calif., and author of The Complete Retiree’s Guide to Social Security. So, here’s what you need to do: Go to the Windfall Elimination Provision and Foreign Pensions page on the Social Security Administration’s website. You’ll find the Windfall Elimination Provision for Foreign Pensions Screening Tool, which you can use to determine whether your Social Security benefit will be reduced and by how much. FYI: The U.S. has bilateral Social Security Agreements that coordinate Social Security with comparable programs of other countries, Vosberg says. “These are called ‘Totalization’ agreements, and Romania is not a participant,” he says. “You need to know that before using the pensions screening tool.”
As for claiming spousal benefits on an ex-spouse’s earnings, the Social Security rules are very specific, says our expert. Powell is editor of Retirement Weekly and contributes regularly to USA TODAY. Got questions about money? Email rpowell@ allthingsretirement.com.

KANSAS FOOTBALL
Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com
Cozart ready to strut his stuff We won’t know what tweaks and upgrades Kansas University quarterback Montell Cozart made to his game this offseason until he steps onto the field for the first time against a live opponent. But make no mistake about it: Cozart has changed. I’ve been around the junior QB for a couple of years now, and I’ve enjoyed just about every minute. The Bishop Miege graduate always has been kind, polite, helpful and fun to talk to. He’s still all of those things, but these days he does not seem quite as giddy when being interviewed. To me, that’s a sign that maturity has taken over. Don’t get me wrong. It’s not like Cozart has turned into Bill Belichick and just mumbles his way through his answers with a monotone voice and no emotion. He still sounds passionate and paints a clear picture with his enthusiastic words. But when he talks about things like confidence, he does so without the exuberance of an elementaryschool kid excited to play with the big boys. He is one of the big boys. And he knows it. More importantly, he knows his team needs him to be exactly, that and he has not taken the responsibility lightly. Offensive coordinator Rob Likens, who to this day still has not watched a frame of game film from Cozart’s first two seasons as a Jayhawk, said Cozart is a different player and person than the guy he met in the spring. “You can tell he’s way more comfortable,” Likens said. “His confidence level is through the roof compared to the spring.” The suddenly veteran Cozart emerged as a strong leader this summer, by any measure, and has the clear edge in experience in the race to become KU’s starter, which includes juco transfer Deondre Ford and true freshmen Carter Stanley and Ryan Willis. Likens equates learning KU’s offense to picking up a dance and said Cozart gained valuable knowledge by strutting his stuff last spring. “I’m a horrible dancer,” Likens said. “And if you put me out on the dance floor and said, ‘Hey, do this dance move,’ and you taught me that dance move on the spot, I’d be nervous and dorky and out of my element. That was what spring practice was. We took these kids, we brought ’em out on the field and said, ‘Hey, man, do this dance.’ Now, I take (Cozart) out on the field, he’s been working on the dance all summer. He knows the dance moves. He knows the steps. Now all he’s gotta do is go out there and dance.” That last part could be the biggest key. I think Cozart’s career

KANSAS UNIVERSITY TIGHT ENDS KENT TAYLOR, LEFT, AND BEN JOHNSON TALK during practice Friday at Memorial Stadium.
Air Raid demands play-making TEs By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com
Kansas University lists sophomore Ben Johnson and junior Kent Taylor as tight ends on its football roster. That doesn’t mean offensive coordinator Rob Likens has to agree with those labels. In KU’s new Air Raid offense, Likens doesn’t need — or want — a traditional tight end. You know the type: wears No. 80-something, too slow to play wide receiver, too slim to play on the offensive line, does more blocking than routerunning. Likens isn’t look-
ing for warm bodies. He requires play-makers. “We don’t do a lot of true tight-end stuff,” Likens said. “They’re pass-receivers. It’s just good to have bigger guys in there. They’re not big, slow tight ends. They’re just bigger-body guys that are playing inside receiver.” The 6-foot-5, 234-pound Johnson and 6-5, 220 Taylor give the coordinator and quarterbacks coach the kind of reformist tight end he demands. The beauty of players such as Johnson and Taylor, Likens says, is that they don’t have to be open to be open. Let him explain.
“As long as the quarterbacks are accurate, the tight ends can be open when maybe the defense doesn’t think they’re open. Like, ‘Hey, I’m on the guy.’ OK, yeah, that’s fine. But my wingspan right here, Kent Taylor, I can catch a pass right here,” Likens said, reaching up high, above his head, “even though you are covering me.” Taylor is glad to be a tight end in this era of football. The former Florida player said the game has evolved because of tight ends such as NFL standouts Jimmy Graham and Rob Gronkowski. “It’s not that they don’t
ever block, but the reason that they are who they are is because of what they’ve done in the receiving game,” said Taylor, who thinks he and Johnson can be big, long targets capable of getting out in space and creating mismatches against defenders. Junior quarterback Montell Cozart considers Johnson, Taylor and 6-4 freshman Jace Sternberger all “dual threats” because of their versatility. Cozart said they can put their hand in the dirt, line up inside or even break out wide. Please see TIGHT ENDS, page 3C

So when the All-Star catcher got the go-ahead to return to the lineup, he decided to prove — twice — that he was just fine.

As he prepared to make a Thursday appearance at a youth basketball camp, Mario Chalmers bumped into former teammate Joel Anthony, who had just addressed the group. As Anthony and Chalmers spoke, a member at the front desk of the Michael-Ann Russell Jewish Community Center said to the receptionist, “Joel doesn’t play here anymore. And Chalmers might not, either.” Welcome to Mario Chalmers’ offseason, where the discussion has been as much about trimming the Miami Heat’s luxury-tax bill with a trade as it has been about how the veteran guard might fit in with a roster that has undergone a dramatic upgrade over the past six months. “Just see what happens,” Chalmers said matter-of-factly before making an appearance on behalf of the Warren Henry Auto Group at the All-Star Basketball Kids Camp. “I haven’t spoken to anybody. When I had my exit meeting with Pat [Riley], he said the only way he would trade me was if he had to.” Based on the current roster, Chalmers would slot in as the backup point guard to Goran Dragic, the role he held at the end of last season. At $4.3 million for the coming season, the last on his contract, Chalmers sets up as somewhat of a value option, with a salary below the league average. The sticking point, of course, is the NBA luxury tax, and the amount of seasons the Heat have operated above that threshold. Because of that, Chalmers’ salary would cost the Heat roughly three times as much in tax. But by excising the contracts of Chalmers and center Chris Andersen, the Heat could move below the tax threshold, stopping the clock on the NBA’s oppressive “repeater” tax. Against that backdrop have been moments like Thursday: Kids cheering his appearance as a two-time NBA champion and player with a Heat tenure exceeded only by Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem, but with some of the adults in attendance speaking about him in the past tense. “I mean it’s kind of tough just hearing all the rumors and stuff,” Chalmers said in a private moment, before addressing a group that included 10 underprivileged participants sponsored by Warren Henry. “But you know, that’s what it was, was just rumors. I’ve just got to keep focusing on my game and keep my mind straight and keep fighting through it.” Chalmers said he left Riley’s office aware of the potential tax implications during an offseason that has included massive raises for Wade and Dragic. But he also said it has been a mostly unspoken subtext. “He didn’t say anything about that,” Chalmers said of the tax. “So that was the end of the conversation. He said he would let me know. And then I’m still here to this day. So I’m not going to worry about it.” Instead, he is looking ahead to an eighth season with the Heat since being selected out of Kansas in the second round in 2008, eager for a sitdown with coach Erik Spoelstra and a blueprint of his role going forward. “Get a better understanding of what he’s going to need from me and want from me this season, and go from there,” he said.

MEN COMPETE IN THE RS:X WINDSURFER EVENT DURING A SAILING TEST, ahead of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, on Saturday in Guanabara Bay in Rio de Janeiro.
World sailing has no plans to test Rio water Rio De Janeiro — Sailing’s world governing body said Saturday it does not plan to conduct viral testing in Rio de Janeiro’s polluted Guanabara Bay, the venue for sailing and wind surfing at next year’s Olympics. Dr. Nebojsa Nikolic, top medical official for the International Sailing Federation, told the Associated Press “we will certainly not do this” until the World Health Organization comes out with what he called a “firm statement.” The WHO told AP in an interview Friday it “would support additional viral testing to further inform the risk assessment by authorities.” The issue of increased testing for Rio’s polluted waterways — and what to do about it — has drawn attention since an independent five-month analysis by AP published July 30 showed dangerously high levels of viruses from human sewage at all Rio Olympic water venues. Dr. Nikolic agreed with the position taken earlier in the week by Olympic Games Executive Director Christophe Dubi, who said WHO guidelines called for only bacterial testing. Dr. Nikolic said experts in the field had not agreed on what viruses to test for, and how to test. “This is not a simple question,” Dr. Nikolic said. “Every diagnostic method has its own value, and experts are still not agreed what to do, or how to do it.” More than 330 sailors and wind surfers from 50 nations are in Rio for an Olympic test event that opened Saturday. They know the water is polluted, and sailors over the last several years have repeatedly called the bay “an open sewer.” But most this time seem determined to compete, ignore the risks and zero-in on a chance for an Olympic gold medal. “It’s scary, but we don’t focus on it (the pollution),” American wind surfer Farrah Hall said. “If we’re out there thinking we were going to get sick every time we sail, we probably would get sick because we are thinking about it too hard.” Governing body the ISAF is adamant about racing in Guanabara Bay, which offers a postcard setting with Rio’s famous Sugarloaf Mountain in the background. The location puts sailing in the heart of the city, offers ISAF possible commercial benefits, and will delight television rights holders that pay billions to the International Olympic Committee. “The fact is, the sailors all want to be here,” said Alastair Fox, the head of competitions for ISAF. “It’s a rarity for us in the Olympics. We’re always two hours away, or two hours by plane. So we really want to have it in the heart of the Olympic environment.”

Sporting rallies in second half Kansas City, Kan. — Paulo Nagamura scored two late goals to give Sporting Kansas City a 4-3 victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Saturday night. Nagamura tied it in the 87th minute, finishing Chance Myers’ cross with a laser from behind the area. Nagamura then finished Soni Mustivar’s cross with a glancing header in the fourth minute of stoppage time. The final whistle came shortly after the ensuing kickoff. Dom Dwyer scored on a header in the 81st minute to cut Sporting’s deficit to 3-2. It was his eighth goal of the season. Pedro Morales’ 25-yard free kick gave Vancouver (13-9-3) a 3-1 lead in the 75th minute. It was the Whitecaps’ second two-goal lead of the evening. Kekuta Manneh capitalized on Sporting giveaways for a pair of first-half goals for Vancouver. Kevin Ellis pulled Sporting (11-4-7) to 2-1, scoring an opportunistic header in the 53rd minute.

Smith wins Ohio Xfinity race Lexington, Ohio — Regan Smith bumped his way past Alex Tagliani in the Carousel a turn from the finish Saturday to win the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
LJWorld.com/highschool • Facebook.com/LJWorldpreps • Twitter.com/LJWpreps
Driving for JR Motorsports, Smith ended a 52-race victory drought with his fifth career win. Last week at Watkins Glen, he was bumped twice in the closing laps and finished 20th. “These guys work their butts off all week,” Smith said. “This car was destroyed door tops down. They rebuilt it in one day. The guys back at the shop: Phenomenal job. My road guys have stuck behind me for a while. We’ve had a lot of opportunities to win. I hate to do it in the last corner, but it’s been too long, a long time, I wasn’t going to pass the opportunity up. “I’ve been wrecked so many times on these road courses, I had to do what I had to do right there. I didn’t spin him, just got the spot. We’re going to celebrate hard tonight.” Tagliani held on to finish second.
Busch crashes in practice ... Brooklyn, Mich. — Kyle Busch slid onto the grass after coming through a turn during NASCAR Sprint Cup practice Saturday, damaging his No. 18 Toyota. Busch returned to the track in a backup car, but the accident was the kind of scenario he needs to avoid as he tries to hold onto his spot in the Chase. Busch has won four times this year, but he’s only 30th in points because he missed 11 races after breaking his leg and foot in February. He needs to be in the top 30 to make the Chase, and right now he’s six points ahead of 31st-place Cole Whitt. Busch was sixth in qualifying, but going to the backup car will force him to start from the back in today’s race at Michigan International Speedway.
... then wins Trucks race Brooklyn, Mich. — Kyle Busch’s eventful day included a trip to victory lane. Busch passed Ryan Blaney with four laps remaining and won the NASCAR Truck Series race at Michigan International Speedway on Saturday. The victory came after he wrecked his Sprint Cup car during a morning practice, and then was penalized on lap 27 of the Truck race for speeding on pit road. After being sent to the rear, he made his way all the way back in his No. 51 Toyota and battled with Blaney through the final few laps. “These trucks tend to put on a good show,” Busch said. “You can kind of draft back up on guys and use the bottom, use the top, kind of work around a little bit.”

17-year-old leads LPGA event Portland, Ore. — Canadian teen Brooke Henderson opened a five-stroke lead Saturday in the Cambia Portland Classic, shooting a 7-under 65 at Columbia Edgewater. The 17-year-old Henderson is trying to join Lydia Ko and Lexi Thompson as the only players to win an LPGA Tour title before turning 18. On a warm, calm day, Henderson made seven birdies in her bogey-free round. Henderson, who turns 18 in September, tied the tournament 54-hole record of 18-under 198 set by Yani Tseng in 2013. Morgan Pressel was second after a 65. Henderson also had the 54-hole lead in April in California in the Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic. She closed with a 74 and end up finishing third.
Thompson 36th at Web.com Springfield, Mo. — Former Kansas University All-American Chris Thompson shot a second consecutive 3-under 69 on Saturday at the Web.com Price Cutter Charity Championship at Highland Springs Country Club. Thompson is tied for 36th at 11-under par, a dozen strokes behind the leader, Dawie van der Walt of South Africa, who is 23-under.

Sweeney inducted into Royals Hall

MIKE SWEENEY WAVES TO THE CROWD following his induction to the Kansas City Royals Hall of Fame before the Royals’ game Saturday against the Angels in Kansas City, Missouri.
Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Mike Sweeney was once told by one of his own coaches he had “zero percent” chance of making the Kansas City Royals out of spring training and to make sure he packed lightly if he showed up in Florida. “I’m so glad,” Sweeney said, “that zero percent chance turned into a 100 percent chance.” Not only did Sweeney make the team in 1999, when things were looking dire, he went on to have one of the finest careers in franchise history. And on Saturday night, the five-time All-Star was rewarded, becoming the 26th player inducted into the Royals’ Hall of Fame. Despite injuries that hampered him throughout his career, Sweeney still hit .297 with 215 homers and more than 900 RBIs over his 16-year career. He spent the first 13 years with Kansas City, the club that drafted in the 10th round in 1991 as a high school catcher from California.
Tight ends CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C
“All of them are huge targets for us,” Cozart said. “We like to get the ball to them in space.” According to Cozart, Johnson is the quicker of the two older tight ends and an option on quick-hitters. He said KU will try to utilize both in ways that play into their strengths. “Kent, he’s a little bit more a down-the-field type of guy,” Cozart added. KU junior safety Bazie Bates IV has seen his share of both tight ends during preseason prac-

When coverages and offensive formations dictate it, he will cover Johnson or Taylor. “Ben is a little bit more
beefy, so he’ll try to run you over,” Bates said. “Kent’s kind of finessey. That’s why sometimes he’s lined up outside.”
Sweeney later played for Oakland, Seattle and Philadelphia before retiring after the 2010 season. He spent time in television and doing charitable work before returning to the Royals last year as a special assistant to baseball operations and a guest instructor at spring training. In an often-tearful news conference before his induction, Sweeney relayed several stories from his playing career, many of which had never been told to the public. Like the way Sweeney got his first big break. He had made the team as a backup in ’99, and then found himself trying to talk first baseman Jeff King out of an abrupt retirement in May. But King had made up his mind, so Sweeney and Jeremy Giambi were expected to take over — until a bizarre turn of events on pitcher Kevin Appier’s farm. Sweeney and Giambi visited to go fishing before a road trip, and
Likens learned a lot about the Air Raid offense while working with Sonny Dykes at Louisiana Tech and Cal, and he said the system doesn’t always rely on tight ends. Likens said his former boss, who coached Gronkowsi when Dykes was offensive coordinator at Arizona, taught him this philosophy on tight ends: If you have players worth using, use them. “You put the best players out on the field that help you,” Likens said. “As long as Ben and Kent are one of the four guys that we deem are the four best (receiving options), then they’ll be out on the field. When they’re not, then they won’t. It’s pretty much that simple.”
Giambi decided to take a spin on a four-wheeler he found on the property. He tore off, then took a jump too fast and rolled the vehicle. Giambi required staples to close the wounds on his head, and Sweeney and Giambi rushed from the hospital to the airport to make the team flight. Giambi was in no shape to play — he told thenmanager Tony Muser that a toolbox had fallen on his head. Sweeney got the starting job as a result and never gave it up. “If Jeff King had not retired and Jeremy Giambi had not been racing motorcycles, I wouldn’t be here today,” Sweeney said with a broad smile. Sweeney chose to play the majority of his career during lean years in Kansas City despite overtures from big-market teams. “My agents are in New York and they said the Yankees had me as their No. 1 priority,” Sweeney said. “My intent was to stay here. I would have

pay it back.’ We called him several times, and he never paid it back. We even contacted his mother in Florida, and she said she would handle it and that she would talk to him, and nothing. All this stuff with police, and still he won’t pay.” Jimenez’s father, Luis, has owned the store since 1987. The Daily News says there is a pending court date. “My dad gave him many chances because he grew up in this store,” Jimenez told the Daily News. “My dad has been here 27 years and has always helped his family when they needed food, when they were short. He always made sure they had something. If it was anybody else, he would have filed the complaint the next day, but he tried to give him as many chances as he could. It’s not only the money. It’s the way he’s been so ungrateful about the whole situation. That’s what hurts the most. He just doesn’t want to pay, and he’s been very arrogant about it.” Taylor was a secondround draft pick of the
But James Sims did a lot of the heavy lifting. A year later, Cozart beat out Heaps during the spring, but I always wondered if that QB race was called a couple of months too early. Hindsight shows Cozart was the QB the coaches wanted to be the guy, but they might have named him the starter a bit prematurely in order
to give him the summer to develop his leadership skills. Not a bad move for the team, but it might not have helped Cozart, who wound up getting benched five weeks into the season in favor of Michael Cummings. Today, Cozart is involved in a true battle, and first-year head coach David Beaty continues to
say the junior QB has the inside track on winning the job. Likens agrees. “You do that line dance, and the first time you just kind of step, step, step,” Likens said. “But the next time you kind of throw (some style) into it a little bit.” Two weeks into camp, that’s where Cozart sits. But it’s the next two weeks that matter most.
Nets in 2012. On Friday, Taylor, who has had no comment on the matter, wrote some statements on Twitter that may or may not have been about this situation. “You jus gotta let the ppl think what they want...everything isn’t worth being addressed,” he Tweeted. “Ain’t in the business of explaining myself....FACTS.” Taylor played pro ball in Puerto Rico and Russia last season. He recently told cityofbasketballlove. com that he’s exploring opportunities to play pro ball in France or Turkey this season. “It’s tough, especially when you go straight to the NBA and then you have to drop down,” Taylor told the website. “To travel around a little bit, it’s a little bit frustrating, it’s a little tough. I’m hoping if I go overseas and have a pretty good season like I’m expecting to, I think that it’ll be good. “I’m just gonna keep at it,” he added. “I think that’s the hardest part about it, is just scratching and clawing and trying to fight for what you think you deserve. As far as me being in the NBA, I feel like I should be there. I think that’s the motivation for me, is to try to get back to where I think I belong.”
Embiid surgery slated: Former KU center Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers will have a second surgery on his right foot Tuesday and likely will miss the upcoming season, Yahoo! Sports’ Marc Spears reported Saturday. Embiid, who was selected No. 3 in the 2014 NBA Draft, had surgery on the same foot in June 2014 to repair a stress fracture and missed his entire rookie season. Spears says the 21-yearold Embiid “is expected to have a bone graft procedure similar to the foot surgery of Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant.” Meanwhile, ESPN.com reports that the 76ers do not have insurance to cover $9 million in salary that Embiid will earn in his first two injuryplagued seasons in the NBA. ESPN.com says Embiid’s right foot is excluded from a policy because it was a pre-existing injury. ESPN says if Embiid’s foot had been insured, the Sixers would have received about $5.4 million from the league insurance policy. ESPN’s Darren Rovell writes that “one policy that didn’t exclude Embiid’s right foot was a permanent total disability policy the center
signed in November 2013 while at the University of Kansas. A source familiar with the policy said Embiid first could collect a tax-free $5 million if he calls it quits three years after signing the policy — November 2016 — and can always collect as long as he doesn’t play 20 NBA games.”

Ellis ranks 15th overall: KU senior Perry Ellis is the 15th-best player in college basketball entering the 2015-16 season, according to ESPN’s John Gasaway. Wichita State’s Fred Van Vleet and Ron Baker check in at Nos. 4 and 6. Oklahoma’s Buddy Hield is No. 12 and Iowa State’s Georges Niang 13. Ellis was the only Jayhawk mentioned in Gasaway’s Top 25. “Ellis averaged 13 points a game for the USA team that won a gold medal at the World University Games in South Korea. For three seasons in Lawrence, the 6-8 power forward (who is sometimes pressed into duty as an undersized 5-man) has combined, more or less, exemplary efficiency with regular admonitions from Bill Self to be “ultra-aggressive.” I anticipate seeing that same combination once again in 2015-16,” Gasaway writes.
played for the minimum to spend my entire career in Kansas City. It just didn’t work out that way.” Among those on hand for his induction was his father, Mike Sweeney Sr., who was diagnosed with esophageal cancer on New Year’s Eve. The elder Sweeney went through radiation and chemotherapy earlier this year and then needed surgery in May as he continued to fight the disease. “The doctor at first came out and said surgery was a success,” Sweeney said. “Then they came back out and said things were going wrong, that he had a heart attack, a collapsed lung, his blood pressure was down to nothing. They were doing everything they could to save him. “To this day, doctors say it’s a miracle my father is here on Aug. 15,” Sweeney added. “When I saw him on the operation table, he said, ‘Son, I promise you, I’ll be at Kauffman Stadium.’”
hits and three RBIs, and Ben Zobrist reached base four times, including three walks. Kansas City pounded out seven doubles as a team. “I think the whole offense did its job,” Dyson said. “We kept the line going.” Matt Shoemaker (59) absorbed most of the damage for the Angels, the right-hander failing to make it through the second inning in his second consecutive disastrous start. Kansas City paraded 11 batters to the plate in a half inning that took 24 minutes. Shoemaker had a stretch of 19 scoreless innings snapped Monday in Chicago, where the White Sox pounded him for seven runs in 52⁄3 innings. The Royals got him for six runs in 12⁄3. Los Angeles has now dropped 11 of its last 12 road games. “It seemed like not one thing went right,” Shoemaker said. “I got only a couple of outs after all those runs scored. You’re trying to throw a quality pitch to get a guy out and no matter what you’re throwing up there, they were hitting it.” Luke Hochevar coughed up three runs in the ninth before finishing for Kansas City, giving Ned Yost his 900th victory as a major league manager. Albert Pujols ended a season-high 14-game streak without a homer in the second inning for Los Angeles — his 31st of the season, and his first hit in 10 at-bats this series. But the streaking Royals wasted no time matching the run, then blowing right past it. Perez splashed his solo shot into the fountains in left field, an estimated 429 feet from home plate, to

lead off the bottom half. Alex Rios walked, Paulo Orlando doubled and Dyson drove them both in with a single. By the time Eric Hosmer added a runscoring single and Perez an RBI double in his second at-bat of the inning, the Royals had built a 6-1 lead. After that, Cueto was simply pumping strikes. The right-hander with the funky assortment of deliveries scattered singles in the third and fourth innings, and hit a batter in the fifth. But he never allowed a runner to reach second base after David Murphy was easily thrown out at home in the second inning. “Pujols hit the home run, and it kind of woke me up,” Cueto said. “It was time to roll.” Royals manager Ned Yost earned his 900th victory.

MAJOR LEAGUE ROUNDUP
BoSox crown King Felix The Associated Press
American League Red Sox 22, Mariners 10 Boston — Jackie Bradley Jr. hit two homers and three doubles to drive in seven runs as Boston once again battered Seattle, roughing up Felix Hernandez on Saturday. The Red Sox broke loose for the second straight day after manager John Farrell took a medical leave for the rest of the season to deal with lymphoma. He said he had a “highly curable” form of cancer about three hours before Friday’s 15-1 romp, with bench coach Torey Winslow Townson/AP Photo Lovullo running the team.

JASON DAY REACTS TO HIS BIRDIE ON THE 17TH HOLE during the third round of the PGA Championship on Saturday in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
Day leads; Spieth lurks Sheboygan, Wis. (ap) — Three times this year, Jason Day has gone into the final round of a major with his name atop the leaderboard. Twice this year, Jordan Spieth has posed with the trophy. The two hottest golfers face off in the final group of the final major of the year at the PGA Championship, both wanting nothing more than to have their named etched on the Wanamaker Trophy. Both go into the final round relying on a different set of memories. Day made six consecutive 3s in the middle of his round, lost momentum with a double bogey from a bunker and then steadied himself with a 25-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole that sent him to a 6-under 66 and a twoshot lead over Spieth. “I’m not looking it as a negative,” Day said about his close calls. “You can’t, because you’ve got two shots and I’ve played phenomenal golf leading up to this. But now I’ve got to focus on round four. Everything I need to do is just make sure that I focus and prepare myself for tomorrow.” Spieth was losing patience with nine straight pars until he blistered the back nine, closed with three straight birdies and shot 65. He was five shots behind and had two holes to play, hopeful to stay within three or four shots. He wound up only two shots behind and poised to join Tiger Woods (2000) and Ben Hogan (1953) as the

JORDAN SPIETH TEES OFF ON THE NINTH HOLE during the third round of the PGA Championship. only players to win three majors in one season. Just like his bid for the Grand Slam that ended at St. Andrews, Spieth is more concerned with one trophy than a collection. “Just to try to get my name on the Wanamaker Trophy, that’s about it. That’s the only history I’ll be thinking of when we step on the first tee is you can hoist that trophy tomorrow and make it happen,” Spieth said. “I’ll go into tomorrow strictly for the history piece of trying to get my name on a different major.” Day was at 15-under 201. The abundant sunshine and endless action Saturday might have been a preview for what could be a sensational end to the majors. And while
the focus is on Day and Spieth, this was hardly a two-man race. Branden Grace holed out from the front bunker on the tough 18th hole for birdie and a 64, the low score of the third round that put him three shots out of the lead. The South African was tied for the lead with three holes to play in the U.S. Open until hitting his drive out-ofbounds onto the railroad track at Chambers Bay. Justin Rose, despite a double bogey on the fourth hole for the second straight day, had a 68 and was three shots behind. And not to be overlooked was Martin Kaymer, the winner at Whistling Straits five years ago. He had a 65 and was four shots behind. But in this undeniable
generation shift in golf, Day and Spieth in the final pairing is compelling. “You can never count out Jordan right now with hos he’s playing, especially this year,” Day said. “He’s just full of confidence right now. So with my confidence level and his stellar play right now, I feel like it’s going to be an exciting finish tomorrow.” Spieth, even with a Masters and U.S. Open title in hand, still has a chip on his shoulder the way he lost his bid at St. Andrews. He was tied for the lead with two holes to play and finished one shot out of a playoff at the British Open. “When I think of this being the last major of the year, it’s a little bit of a sad feeling because I really, thoroughly enjoy playing in majors,” Spieth said. “You want to make the most of it, even though ... we’ve won two this year. “So you look at it as a single major, as a chance to win this major, and there’s enough fight in us to finish this one off tomorrow, I believe.” The turnaround late Saturday afternoon was stunning. It put him in position to sweep the three American majors. But he still was two shots behind Day, determined not to let his great year end without winning his first. “If he goes out and wins tomorrow from him putting well, then he deserves it,” Day said. “But I’m going to give him a fight.”
Jones plays through … tent Sheboygan, Wis. (ap) — If they handed out trophies for viral video, Matt Jones would have that prize wrapped up. Yes, his pitching wedge off the blue carpet in the hospitality tent near the ninth fairway was one to watch again and again. Problem was, that wasn’t nearly the worst trouble he found himself in Saturday at the PGA Championship. The Aussie’s fun, funny afternoon spent atop the leaderboard turned into something much different — and worse — when the sun started setting over Whistling Hills. Jones never really got control of that swing that caused him to land his tee shot on the artificial turf in the Ninth Hole Skyboxes. He played three of the last four holes out of the rough, and worse, and made two bogeys and a
double. He finished the third round at 1-over 73 on a day where leaders — and seemingly everyone else — were going low. Jones ended up coming in at 10 under for the tournament, with four players between himself and leader Jason Day, who started the day two behind his fellow Australian and ended up five shots ahead of him. “Golf runs like that,” Jones said. “And it got me in the end.” Now, about that shot. Jones hooked his tee shot so badly on No. 9, he found himself climbing the stairs, shouldering his way through a crowd of a few hundred of his newest, bestest beer-drinking buddies in the tents left of the fairway. What he discovered was a perfect lie — like something you’d see on the mats at the local muni
driving range. He chose to play through instead of taking relief in the trampled down grass, down below, outside the tent. “It was very exciting up there,” said his caddie, Shannon Wallis, who was surrounded by fans, beer and cameramen while Jones lined up the shot. Wallis got the yardage — 154 — from a sprinkler head down below, then all Jones needed was to grab his wedge and take a few practice swings to make sure his backswing wouldn’t tick the top of the tent. No problem. He rocketed the shot over the white picket fence and ended up pin high, just off the green. “I hit it perfectly,” Jones said. “I just had the wrong line.” Saving bogey from the hospitality tent is never anything to sneeze at, though. With that, he car-
ried a one-shot lead over Day into the back nine. It was long gone by the time he reached the 17th tee box, and things got even worse when he hooked the tee shot into a gnarled thicket down among the bunkers to the left of the green, not far from a 23-foot-high wall made of railroad ties. Jones’ first attempt to get on the green ricocheted off the wall. He flipped it over on the second shot but missed a 10-foot putt and made double bogey. By then, he trailed by five and was happy to get up and down for par from 50 feet in the fringe on No. 18 to keep the deficit from getting any bigger. How did he sum up his wild and weird day? “I’m definitely not out of it,” Jones said. Certainly, the golf fans on No. 9 would drink to that.
It’s been a lot of days since I saw this day in the future.” On the big play, Palmer found Ellington through a tight window. Ellington, who nursed a foot injury most of last season and has missed most of training camp due to a hamstring injury, scored on a two-yard run on thirdand-goal. On Kansas City’s first possession, Smith was under pressure when he threw the pass intended for open Jason Avant. The pass was well behind the intended receiver and Mathieu, who was slowed noticeably last season after coming off knee surgery, easily picked it off. “Luckily, the quarterback threw the ball right to me so I didn’t really have to break and get a good route to the receiver,” Mathieu said. “He kind of just threw it right to me.” Smith completed six of 10 for 42 yards. Daniel threw TD passes of 13 yards to Fred Williams, 14 to Frankie Hammond Jr. and three yards to Da’Ron Brown. Chandler Catanzaro’s 52-yard field goal try early in the fourth quarter was deflected by the outstretched hand of 6-foot-7 rookie David Irving. Kansas City starting

NFL PRESEASON
Winston so-so in pro debut The Associated Press
Vikings 26, Buccaneers 16 Minneapolis — Jameis Winston produced mixed results at best in his first NFL action for Tampa Bay, while Teddy Bridgewater had Minnesota’s passing attack in prime form to spark the Vikings to an exhibition victory over the Buccaneers on Saturday night. Winston, the first pick in the draft out of Florida State, played the whole first half and finished 9-for-19 for 131 yards. He had a pass intercepted by Antone Exum, mishandled two snaps that led to a total of 19 lost yards and threw several passes well off target. The majority of Winston’s completions came in the second quarter when the Vikings had their backups in on defense. The brighter side for Winston and the Buccaneers included a 40-yard completion to Vincent Jackson with Vikings rookie cornerback Trae Waynes in coverage and an eight-yard touchdown run after the pocket collapsed around him on third down. Bridgewater went 7 for 8 for 86 yards and backup Shaun Hill finished 8-for9 for 104 yards and touchdown passes to Cordar-
relle Patterson and Adam Thielen, and seven Vikings receivers had two catches apiece in the first half. The biggest problem that emerged for the Vikings was right tackle Phil Loadholt, who limped off the field after the second play from scrimmage due to a significant injury to his lower left leg. Loadholt was replaced by T.J. Clemmings, who was the team’s fourth-round draft pick.
Texans 23, 49ers 10 Houston — Brian Hoyer threw a 58-yard touchdown pass to Cecil Shorts III on Houston’s first drive against San Francisco. Competing with Ryan Mallett for the starting job, Hoyer also connected with DeAndre Hopkins for a 2-point conversion to give the Texans an 8-0 lead. Hoyer finished 2-for-4 for 67 yards. Mallett completed his first eight passes and was 10-of-11 for 90 yards, but the Texans didn’t score on any of his four possessions. Colin Kaepernick failed to move the offense on his only drive, going 1-for-3 for 14 yards. The 49ers led 10-8 at halftime after Blaine Gabbert’s touchdown pass and Phil Dawson’s field goal.

MIKE BLACK, A CUSTOM BUILDER OF MANDOLINS, POSES IN HIS LAWRENCE SHOP with an A-style mandolin similar to ones made by the famous Gibson mandolin builder Lloyd Loar. The staged photo is similar to one of Loar taken between 1919 and 1924 in the research and development department at Gibson. Black is part of a large contingent of mandolin players and luthiers that has lived in Lawrence since the ‘70s.

Tracing Lawrence’s decades-long love affair with an old-fashioned instrument By Joanna Hlavacek • Twitter: @hlavacekjoanna

sk Mike Black what brought him to Lawrence in 2000, and he’ll tell you. Love. Black, 42, was in his mid-20s when he packed up and left his hometown of Salina to follow his then-girlfriend to Lawrence. The relationship didn’t last — they broke up shortly after the move, Black says — but his love affair with Lawrence and its music scene has held steady. More than a decade later, he’s still in town, and for the last year has earned his living handcrafting mandolins out of his garage. It’s a full-time gig, says the former call-center worker, who receives about 10 to 15 orders per year. Black is part of a large, active community of mandolin enthusiasts who make their home in Lawrence. This town, it turns out, is something of a mandolin mecca. “We’re everywhere. You’re always surprised to learn your neighbor plays the mandolin or your mailman plays the mandolin,” says Black, who first picked up the instrument as a teenager and plays locally with the band Three Bean Salad (of which Journal-World chief photographer Mike Yoder is also a member). “There are a lot of us that seem to come out of the woodwork.” As to what, exactly, attracts so many Lawrencians to the lute-like instrument, Black says he’s not sure.

FROM LEFT THEN-MICHIGAN STREET MUSIC CO-OWNER GREG SMITH, mandolin builder Jim Triggs and MSM co-owner Jim Baggett, look over a mandolin made by Triggs in this photo from around 1979. Baggett is now owner of Mass Street Music and Triggs owns and operates Triggs Mandolins & Guitars with his son Ryan. its presence here — as well as a more general interest in acoustic music — is tangible, thanks largely in part to the mandolin pioneers who first put Lawrence on the map in the 1970s.
Bulls-eye of bluegrass Jim Baggett, 66 and the longtime owner of Mass Street Music, is a veteran of the scene. “Because of this culture that started back in the 1970s, there’s a whole acoustic musicalinstrument culture in Lawrence that has moved from generation to generation,” Baggett says. “A lot of times, all it takes is just a few players who are dedicated to the instrument, and it all flows from that. It’s the people who make it.” Like Black, Baggett was also drawn to Lawrence’s thriving folk-and-bluegrass community, which back in 1976 was just starting to gain steam. Baggett credits luthier Steve Mason for laying the first seeds around 40 years ago, when the former Winfield resident along with his partner, Brian McKinney, opened Off the Wall Hall in the downtown space now occupied by the Bottleneck at 737 New Hampshire St. Please see MANDOLINS, page 3D

T
he spy thriller “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” has a couple of underdog qualities that had me rooting for it from the get-go. First, I love the idea that rather then merely stealing the name of the mid-’60s TV show and updating it to the present day (as has been done with “Get Smart” and “Mission: Impossible”), co-writer/director Guy Ritchie keeps “U.N.C.L.E.” set in the 1960s. It’s a bold move, because the traditional Hollywood thinking is that making an action film a period piece limits its commercial potential. (Side note: After three unsuccessful modern-day big-budget “Fantastic Four” movies, however, somebody might want to try setting the next one during the space race of the early ’60s. It’s pretty much tied into the DNA of the original characters and would really stand out in the crowded superhero marketplace. The period is baked into everything about “U.N.C.L.E.” as well, so again, good on Ritchie.) Secondly, Ritchie made “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” for a relatively low $75 million, which — for a Hollywood blockbuster with exquisite costume design and period art direction, which it very much has — makes it kind of a scrappy film. Ritchie probably pushed the period angle through based on his success as the director of the Robert Downey Jr.-starring “Sherlock Holmes” reboots, which made over a billion dollars worldwide. Those soulless exercises in flash-bang filmmaking are barely watchable, and even then, it’s only because Downey Jr. and Jude Law have some actual chemistry as they prop up all the hollow trickery around them. Unfortunately, “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” doesn’t have Downey Jr. or Law. It has Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer, who trade in the same kind of faux-clever one-upsmanship that Holmes and Watson do, with similarly weak dialogue but barely a quarter of the charm. Cavill plays U.S. secret agent Napoleon Solo, who walks around the film stiff-necked and wearing stylish tailored suits and approximating cool. This “aloof” act mostly just looks like Cavill’s gotten really good at reading cue cards without the audience seeing his eyes follow the line breaks. The movie is an origin story, following Solo to East Berlin, where a KGB agent named Illya Kuryakin (Hammer, doing some kind of Schwarzenegger-like “Red Heat” accent that comes and goes) keeps foiling him at every turn. Eventually the two pair up, and this enormousmale-ego odd couple smugly try to outdo each other at every turn, even as they are forced to work together. This includes being in charge, seducing ladies, and lobbing lame homo-erotic jabs that seem straight out of “Tango & Cash.” At least Hammer has a little bit of comic timing. Plus, watching him wrestle with such a ridiculous accent gives his performance a kind of good-natured appeal. Besides being incredibly good-looking (which I suppose in this role, is

eric@scene-stealers.com its own version of “convincing”), Cavill never once feels like he’s living the part. On top of that, his comic delivery leaves much to be desired. In one scene, Solo decides to sit on his hands and do nothing while his new partner fights for his life. The bit — intended to be comic relief — arrives too late as a joke and is stone cold dead. Alicia Vikander, so intriguing as the android in “Ex Machina,” has the thankless role of a clotheshorse. She’s originally a model, so in that respect she’s perfect for it, and Joanna Johnston’s elegant costuming is sure to get an Oscar nomination. But after Vikander’s breakout performance earlier this year, it’s a big disappointment to see her wasted. Even with the actors and sets dressed up gorgeously, the movie has a strangely muted color palette. Perhaps Ritchie and cinematographer John Mathieson were wary of getting too close to “Austin Powers”-like parody or the bright Technicolor of the ’60s themselves, but “U.N.C.L.E.” is all gray, some dark blues and browns, and a splash of maroon every now and then. With their superhero movies, Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan have done their best to convince everyone that darker equals “more serious” and certainly Ritchie approaches this material with very little irony, but when your movie is as empty as this one, it doesn’t help. The wooden performances and over-burnished look just create a stifling atmosphere. Overall, “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” fails to ignite on any level. Ritchie’s usual hyperkinetic camera trickery is dialed back considerably (which means it’s only on 8 instead of 11) and he throws in some nifty split-screen action, but it quickly wears out its welcome and takes on a numbing quality, especially because the film is a long two hours and can’t muster anything even remotely resembling character investment. “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” is 116 minutes, and rated PG-13 for action violence, some suggestive content, and partial nudity.
‘Tangerine’ “Tangerine,” now playing at Liberty Hall, is making big waves this summer on the indie circuit, both for its subject matter and low-budget filming approach. The movie was shot in Hollywood, but it’s a very different Hollywood than the City of Dreams mythologized in so many films. “Tangerine” is a fictional film profiling two transgender sex workers on Santa Monica Boulevard, played by transgender actresses

made more than five times its budget at the box office. “Tangerine” is 88 minutes, and is rated R for strong and disturbing sexual content, graphic nudity, language throughout, and drug use.

Mandolins CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D
The music venue and instrument shop became a regional “hub” for bluegrass and folk music, in time attracting musicians like 59-year-old Jim Triggs, who cites both Baggett and Mason as mentors in his younger days. Triggs, who made mandolins for Gibson in Los Angeles and Nashville before eventually returning to Lawrence with his family 11 years ago, now runs his own luthier shop out of his garage, building guitars, mandolins and ukuleles with his son Ryan. “Back in the ‘70s, people from Kansas City and Topeka and Emporia used to come to Steve Mason’s shop on Wednesday nights for the jam session. That was the bulls-eye of the bluegrass scene within a three-hour radius,” Triggs says. “The same bands you’d see at Winfield (Walnut Valley Festival) would be coming through Lawrence to Steve’s shop.” In 1973, a few years before Mason’s arrival, a local musician by the name of Jeff Dearinger had founded an ensemble that would eventually become the Uptown Mandolin Quartet. The group, which at one point was considered a full-blown mandolin orchestra with upward of 30 members, is still active today. In 2013, its current members — Dearinger and his wife, Beth, with Mike Stewart and Charles Higginson — celebrated the ensemble’s 40th anniversary. The Kansas State Fiddling and Picking Championships, which will be held Aug. 23 in South Park this year, began as a countywide contest

JIM TRIGGS AND HIS SON RYAN PLAY ON THEIR HANDMADE TRIGGS GUITAR AND MANDOLIN outside their Lawrence home. Jim worked with Gibson for several years helping build mandolins and archtop guitars. Triggs’ mandolins have been played by some of the top bluegrass musicians in the country. BELOW: New and vintage mandolins in both A- and F-styles for sale are pictured at Mass Street Music, 1347 Massachusetts St. in 1976. Since 1981, the competition has welcomed musicians from across the region, many of whom have gone on to place in the national contest held each September at Winfield’s Walnut Valley Festival. The mandolin scene continued to grow over time, and by the 1990s, Lawrence was beginning to draw national attention.
Mandolin Cafe In 1993, the Dearingers, along with fellow musician Scott Tichenor, founded Mandofest. The Lawrence-based mandolin festival started out modestly enough, but by the end of its run in 2005, Mandofest had grown into a two-day event complete with workshops, concerts and jam sessions, attracting mandolinists from all over the country. Tichenor, 61, is also responsible for Mandolin

tent for institutions like the Kansas University Medical Center and Park University until about six years ago. By that point, the website had begun generating enough revenue to allow Tichenor to take it on full time. He’s never looked back. Since moving to Lawrence in 1984, Tichenor has become a leader in the local mandolin community. It’s a special place that by his estimate has more mandolin players and builders than Kansas City, easily. And, what’s more, they all seem to know each other. As Jim Triggs tells it, “I’ve known a lot of these guys over 40 years… and we’re all still friends.” Unlike his father, Ryan Triggs didn’t migrate to Lawrence as a young man seeking entry into the local music scene — he was born into it. And while Jim’s work never interested Ryan much growing up — “no matter what your dad’s job is, it isn’t cool,” he now recalls — he’s since developed a profound “respect and appreciation” for the craft, which he took up after high school. Ryan says he’s “proud” of the business he’s built with his father — they’ve made instruments for artists like Aerosmith, Alan Jackson, the Steve Miller Band, Jimmy Buffet and Luke Bryan, just to name a few. At 33, he thinks mandolins are pretty cool. So are the local folks who love them. “It’s just a good group of people to be around — everyone’s really approachable and fun,” Ryan says. “I’ve grown up around these people. It’s all I know, really. We’re like a big family.”

ACTRESS FELICIA DAY’S NEW MEMOIR, “YOU’RE NEVER WEIRD ON THE INTERNET (ALMOST),” emphasizes the Web as a place for people to showcase their individuality.
Nerd notes
Actress Felicia Day’s memoir waxes on Web weirdness By Jevon Phillips Los Angeles Times
I
n her memoir “You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost),” (Touchstone: $25.99), actress Felicia Day admits that she’s often referred to as “that quirky chick in that one science-fiction show” or as “usually the lone female on lists of prominent nerds.” But she’s much more than that. Yes, she was one of the slayerettes in the last television season of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” she had prominent roles on fan-centric shows like “Supernatural” and “Eureka” and she played Penny in Joss Whedon’s online musical sensation “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-along Blog.” But the Internet is where Day found her voice. She created and stars in the Web series “The Guild” and is the founder of Geek & Sundry, a multiplatform media outlet that is a hub for the geek community. She does all of this, plus is a champion of romance novels and board games, and she still found time to write a book. “Memoirs are hard! What I wanted to do was open the door to this new world, which is digital media, since my life is exactly the same years as the emergence of the Internet,” Day said. “It’s like the industrial revolution, a technological revolution, and hopefully it opens doors for people rather than closes them. That’s why I wanted to have that message of openness and creativity and expressing yourself — the Pollyanna view of technology.” The multi-hyphenate spoke about her journey from “weird home-schooled kid to early online adopter to business owner and creator” and what it took to write and publish her memoir.
Q: What made you decide to do the book? A: The book started as a speech I gave several times right after Geek & Sundry was formed. I was asked to speak at YouTube events, at brand seminars, at Wharton Business School. So I had to put together a survey of my life, which I’ve never done before, and people responded so well to my journey from weird home-schooled kid to early online adopter to business owner and creator, that when the idea came to me to do a book, I was like ‘Oh, I already have an outline here.’ Of course, it changed a lot during all the iterations in the year that I took to write it. The core of it that people tended to respond to ... was embracing your uniqueness and being able to get your voice out there as a unique person using opportunities and places that did not exist before. Q: Although you were prepared through your speech work, was it still a daunting task? A: It was definitely daunting. I was really just using that as a template and a starting point. But, like any artistic venture, hopefully it morphs as you get into it. I had to be very mathematical about it — I have a math degree — if I was going to be able to achieve a book, which is much longer than a screenplay, which I had written before. … I used a program to help me track my word count. I created a structure within the program, called Scrivener, to sort of break up my tasks into smaller tasks, and that’s how I was able to get through it. Q: You talk about embracing your weirdness in the book. How do you deal with the success you have now? A: At the end of my book,
there’s a whole chapter dealing with depression and anxiety and really struggling with success. I think that’s something that no one really tells you about. When you achieve what you were aiming for and get the recognition that you were looking for, all of these other problems start piling on. That’s what I struggled dealing with. Being able to remain myself with all of these opportunities and trying to please a lot of people and having expectations heaped on me that I didn’t know if I could live up to. Now, I’m definitely more able to deal with those things and see the long term of a career versus trying to chase every opportunity. … The great thing about this new digital world is that you don’t have to be one thing. Really, as a digital person, you have to be good at many things or you can’t succeed. Q: That’s a lot of self-discovery. And it took a year to write the memoir? A: About a year to write the book, and then a couple of months of editing. The whole publishing industry is so interesting because I’m in the world of the immediate publishing. I have an idea, the impulse is there, I shoot it and I post it immediately. … Publishing is such a long-tail sort of business, but to see it up close — it’s like assembling a battleship, piece by piece over months and months, and finally you release it into the world and you just hope that it sails. What’s exciting to me is that every time I had an idea that molded my world, meaning the digital world, they were really accepting of it. That’s what I think old media needs to do is embrace what new media is finding but also keep what works in their business.
’m going to let you in on a little secret: We library folk want to talk about books with you. We absolutely do. But research shows that when people are looking for something new to read, librarians are your go-to only 19 percent of the time. Que pasa, y’all? Perhaps you see us out shelving books in the stacks and you, considerate souls that you are, don’t want to bother us. Or maybe (I’ve been told) you’re concerned that we’ll judge what you’re reading (or not reading) and would rather poke around on your own, rather than risk getting librarian side-eye. Let me assure you: We don’t judge. Truly. We are “imperfect” readers, too, who just want to have a bookish conversation with other readers. We like to laugh about truly awful romance covers that hide quite good content. We love hearing about that unusual book that changed your life. We are curious about why you don’t like the awardwinning book everyone else seems to love. If you’re interested, we want to give you reading suggestions, too — in person and online. At LPL, our mission in the Readers’ Services department, home of The Book Squad, is to connect people with the stories that enrich their lives. In order to do that, we review books and create reading lists in the LPL catalog. We chat with you in the stacks, offer you a few books and hope you’ll come back and let us know what you thought. We create personalized reading suggestions for you. We can even help your book club find their next read and supply the books in one handy bag. One program we’ve started to encourage community conversations about reading is the Genre Book Club, which meets once a month. Our staff puts together a list of highly rated and representative books in a genre, and you call or email to request one or two of those books to try out. Then, on the second Sunday of the month, we sit around snacking and talking about what we
POLLI KENN read, what we thought, and learn more about the genre in general. Easypeasy, lemon squeezy. Genre Book Club is a way to discover something new, without making a huge time commitment. They can also be a great way to meet people who share your reading loves and swap suggestions for fresh reads. (Next month’s talk is on urban fantasy, an up-and-coming genre, at 2 p.m. Sept. 13.) Genres can be a tidy way of understanding what you might expect overall from a story, a shorthand that there will be elements in this tale that speak to you as a reader. Genres, however, can sometimes draw artificial lines that people don’t cross. I will admit there are genres I thought I didn’t read… until I did. Reading “The Martian” and “Ready Player One” taught me that I can find a compelling story in sci-fi, even though it wasn’t a place I spent much time. I’ve converted people who thought they didn’t like romance with authors Courtney Milan, Julia Quinn and Eloisa James. If you haven’t read all the classics, we don’t care. (We probably haven’t, either.) If you haven’t read anything but cereal boxes or Facebook statuses for a while, that’s cool. We’ve been there. We’d love to help you. Genre Book Club is a great way to meet authors and stories, and a nice way to meet your neighbor. Let your friendly LPL Book Squad member get you connected to a story that might enrich your life, a story that just might come from a section of the library you haven’t yet met. — Polli Kenn is the Readers’ Services Coordinator at LPL. She likes being transported by story, historical romance, urban farming, women’s health, sociology, books about how or why, wit and wordplay and twisty plots.

his week, Kansas City is host to an extraordinary variety of cultural, historical and art exhibits and performances, as well as one of the area’s most enjoyable festivals. With this week marking the 70th anniversary of the surrender of Japan in World War II, it’s a fitting time to visit the Harry S. Truman Library and Museum, where Emperor Hirohito’s Rescript (the order he gave to the Japanese people and military to lay down their arms and surrender to the Allies) is on display through Sept. 11. The rescript is part of the larger exhibit “Till We Meet Again,” which uses artifacts, video clips and documents to recount the tumultuous events of 1945, including Harry Truman’s elevation to the presidency, the surrender of Germany, founding of the United Stations, the Potsdam Conference and the decision to drop the atomic bomb. While the Emperor’s rescript is only on display for a short time, “Till We Meet Again” is open to the public through Jan. 3, 2016. The Harry S. Truman Library is at 500 W. U.S. Highway 24 in Independence and is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. Admission is $8 for adults and $3 for children ages 6 to 15. At the Bruce R. Wat-
