As tenants arrive, HERE fails to get occupancy permit

By Rochelle Valverde rvalverde@ljworld.com

When soon-to-be residents at the HERE apartment complex showed up Wednesday — cars packed with furniture, clothes and other belongings —

they arrived at an active construction site. Signs posted on the main door directed them up the street.

Instead of moving into their new apartments, lessees were sent to The Oread hotel to check in. In the hotel’s lobby,

“It’s been disappointing, because they were supposed to move in on the seventh of August,” said Jerry Hurt, whose son, J.C. Hurt, has rented an apartment at HERE. “But they have given some credits towards the inconvenience.”

Hurt, of Overland Park, was one of those spending Wednesday in The Oread’s lobby. Hurt said that they were told they’d be able to move in Wednesday morning around 9, but that he got an email marked “urgent” the night before.

“They said that the occupancy hadn’t been approved and that 4 o’clock would be the earliest,” Hurt said. “And that’s when they said they’d be doing all this today, and they would try to accommodate everybody who is here.”

The HERE project has been one of the more anticipated apartment projects in Lawrence in recent years. The previous City Commission provided the project an 85 percent property tax rebate after the Chicago development group touted the multistory, luxury apartment building as being a major boon for the city’s rental market.

While Hurt and dozens of others had lunch

at The Oread’s restaurant courtesy of HERE, construction crews on site at 11th and Mississippi streets continued to work against the clock. Brady Hempel, a University of Kansas senior, also waited at the hotel. Hempel was understanding but said he was still hoping to move in Wednesday afternoon as planned.

“We packed up the cars and if you tell us it’s at 4, I’m expecting to be able to move in at 4,” Hempel said. “You know how things are, things don’t always go as expected, so you’ve got to kind of account for that. In the back of my mind I do know that it could not happen.”

News that the complex is safe to be occupied has yet to arrive. The City of Lawrence has been inspecting the site twice daily each day this week, but it still has not met requirements that will allow the city to grant an occupancy permit, said Scott McCullough, the city’s director of planning and development services.

About 3 p.m., McCullough said city inspectors in Fire-Medical, Public Works and Planning and Development Services would be going to the HERE complex lat-

“I think a lot of times elected officials and cities get themselves into building buildings, and they think because they built the building that that’s the end of it,” Markus said. “So you pay for the building, but to keep the building up you have to have some stream of revenue established, which we’ll be facing in years to come.”

The disparity between what Lawrence and other cities charge was part of an annual audit report received by city commissioners at their Tuesday meeting. The report measures totals for about a dozen financial indicators for the city for 2015, and compares them to the last 10 years of data, as well as benchmarks for other cities similar to Lawrence in size and other characteristics.

The city’s fee structures also affected other measures on the report.

Due to its relatively lower fees, the city funds its government services more through property and sales taxes compared to other cities. In addition, the level at which taxes fund government services — free services such as police and fire departments — has been increasing over time, according to the report.

Markus recommended

that assessment of fees be part of the annual budget process every year, and commissioners agreed that better evaluation was needed.

“Definitely costs go up every year, so it’s important that we keep an eye on our fees to make sure they are at least keeping pace,” Commissioner Leslie Soden later said.

Some fees, in fact, are already under review.

Soden said that one example is the charge for developmental applications, such as those for economic incentives.

Soden said one application can take up to six months of review.

“We need to raise those to better cover the cost of city staff working on those,” Soden said.

The approach is different for community services, such as summer bus passes for students, entry to aquatic centers and parks and recreation classes, Soden said. The Parks and Recreation Department, for example, looks to recover about half of the actual cost of services.

“We’re a government; we’re not a business,” Soden said. “We’re not a profit-driven center — that’s not what we’re about, so there are cer-

tain activities that the city voluntary subsidizes…It may not cover the actual cost of providing the service, so it’s this balancing act that we do.”

LMH partnering with KU Law ——

Joint program will provide free counsel to patients in need

This is part of a series of photos from the Journal-World’s archives, chosen by the Journal-World photo staff, that give a glimpse into Lawrence’s past.

State employees to see higher health costs Topeka (ap) — Kansas’ Health Care Commission has made changes that will lead to higher premiums, copayments and some deductibles for state employees as officials try to increase cash reserves for its employee health plan next year.

The commission is made up of five members, including Insurance Commissioner Ken Selzer and Secretary of Administration Sarah Shipman.

The health plan’s cash reserves are below a $59 million target and the goal is to increase the funds back to that level over the next two years, according to The Wichita Eagle.

“

While no one wants to see costs increase, timely plan design changes, including increased employer contributions, are meant to increase reserves in order to maintain plan solvency into the future.”

— Kansas Secretary of Administration Sarah Shipman

The state will increase its employer premium rate by 7 percent and its employee premium rate by about 9 percent.

“The adjustments made by the Health Care Commission will help to ensure a more stable system in the long-term which will allow for more stable benefits for employees,” Shipman said. “While no one wants to see costs increase, timely plan design changes, including increased employer contributions, are meant to increase reserves in order to maintain plan solvency into the future.”

The Kansas Organization of State Employees has criticized the changes, citing that state workers will pay more and get worse benefits.

Governor endorses reversing Medicaid reimbursement cut Topeka (ap) — Gov. Sam Brownback said Wednesday that he endorses reversing a cut to Medicaid reimbursement rates that he ordered earlier this year.

The announcement came a day after the state canceled a number of public meetings that had been scheduled to discuss the 4 percent cut to providers

in KanCare, the state’s privatized Medicaid system, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported. The meetings had been scheduled Aug. 22-26 in Topeka, Wichita, Pittsburg, Dodge City and Overland Park.

Brownback said he wants lawmakers next year instead to hike a tax on providers.

“At the end of the 2016 legis-

lative session, we worked with health care organizations to find a solution to offset proposed cuts to KanCare reimbursement by implementing an increase in the provider tax. Those negotiations were not successful, resulting in implementation of a 4 percent cut in reimbursement rates,” Brownback said.

“We will continue those ef-

forts in the next legislative session. I look forward to working with the legislature to restore the 4 percent cut in reimbursement rates and will call on them to pass an increase in the provider tax,” he said.

The cancellations of the meetings followed a contentious hearing before the House and Senate oversight commit-

tee on KanCare in early August at which lawmakers, service providers and customers strongly criticized state officials for problems with Medicaid services. They complained about the impact of the reimbursement cut, a large backlog of Medicaid applications, slow reimbursements and a high number of claim denials.

Man, 50, accused of human trafficking involving a minor

By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

A Lawrence man is accused of human trafficking involving a minor.

The 50-year-old man was arrested Tuesday morning on suspicion of aggravated human trafficking, according

to Douglas County Jail booking logs. He was arrested in the 600 block of Florida Street.

An incident number, listed alongside the arrest, matches a disturbance report in the Lawrence Police Department activity logs. The report shows seven officers arrived on the scene at 3:23 a.m.

The man is currently being held in the Douglas County Jail without bond. He has not been charged.

He is the second person in Lawrence arrested on suspicion of human trafficking within a week.

On Aug. 10, Jakaynah Burtzloff, 18, was arrested in the 400 block of Eldridge Street.

She is accused of recruiting, harboring, transporting or obtaining a 17-year-old person “knowing that the person ... will be used to engage in forced labor, involuntary servitude or sexual gratification,” according to a criminal complaint filed in Douglas County District Court.

Burtzloff faces two felony

charges of aggravated human trafficking.

Lawrence Police Sgt. Laurie Powell declined to comment on the man’s arrest, citing incomplete or unapproved incident reports.

Kansas GOP executive director Clay Barker confirmed Wednesday that Carly Couture has been hired to lead the Kansas campaign. She is the wife of former state Rep. Travis Couture-Lovelady, RPalco, who resigned this year to take a job as a lobbyist for the National Rifle Association.

Couture did not return phone calls Wednesday, but Barker said she had been hired within the last week and would be setting up operations at a state party office in Wichita.

Laurie Powell.

Nine officers arrived on the scene, according to department activity logs.

Beta Theta Pi and Sigma Chi fraternities and Kappa Alpha Theta sorority are all within the 1400 block of Tennessee Street. Pi Kappa Phi and Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternities are also nearby on Tennessee Street.

On the scene, witnesses

No injuries were reported during the incident and no damage appears to have been done, Powell said.

No suspects have been located, Powell said. Police are investigating.

She will manage cases as they surface over the next few months, with the goal of adding four to eight law students to the program in January.

how Medicaid cuts in Kansas will affect LMH. According to numbers released last month by the KHA, the hospital will likely lose approximately $640,000 (that’s including lost revenue from across-the-board Medicaid cuts of around 4 percent as well as the state’s 4 percent cut to provider reimbursement rates) in fiscal year 2017.

While numbers hovered between $500,000 and $800,000 in June, the new estimate is more accurate, Pedley said.

In May, Gov. Sam Brownback ordered the cuts to Kansas’ Medicaid program in an effort

“Mitt Romney and John McCain didn’t do that,” Barker said, referring to the 2012 and 2008 GOP presidential candidates. “That was all decided a while ago.”

Wednesday’s email in Kansas came out the day after Trump overhauled his national campaign staff by demoting campaign manager Paul Manafort while naming Breitbart News executive Stephen Bannon and GOP pollster Kellyanne Conway to top positions.

But Barker said the effort to hire a Kansas campaign coordinator had been in the works for weeks before those

Although the Trump campaign has been struggling nationally, especially in the wake of a series of campaign gaffes that led up to the staff shakeup, he is still heavily favored to win Kansas, which has not voted for a Democratic presidential candidate since 1964.

Andy Ramirez, an attorney representing LMH, told the hospital board Wednesday that the KHA, in collaboration with a group of attorneys, has sent a letter to the federal Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services objecting to the cuts. Ultimately, it will be the center’s decision to enforce the reductions, Ramirez said.

Kansas Democrats, however, are hopeful that Hillary Clinton will at least do well in the 3rd Congressional District of suburban Kansas City. That’s a district heavily populated with the kind of upper-income, collegeeducated voters that Trump has had a particularly difficult time attracting.

Bride’s family hijacks rehearsal dinner Dear Annie: Our son is marrying a lovely girl from out of state. ‘‘Jill’s’’ family offered to pay for the cost of the wedding, which is expected to have more than 200 guests. My son asked us whether we would pay for the rehearsal dinner. Thinking this would consist of the wedding party and 20 to 30 additional people, we agreed.

Well, now this ‘‘rehearsal dinner’’ is about 70 folks, including numerous ‘‘close relatives’’ on the bride’s side. We are told that these people are to be included, that there is no room for negotiation and that it shouldn’t be an issue because Jill’s parents are paying for the wedding. I feel as if Jill has hijacked the socalled rehearsal dinner for a pre-wedding family dinner that is basi-

Is this what weddings have come down to these days? How should my wife and I handle this? — Budgeting Father of the Groom Dear Budgeting: A) Pick a more affordable venue and/or dining option.

Viewers find ‘60 Days In’ arresting The premise of most scary movies and shows depends on characters who enter, or refuse to leave, terrifying places. Untold numbers of dead bodies have surfaced on Freeform’s silly new series ‘‘Dead of Summer,’’ but the counselors refuse to leave the woods. On Netflix’s cult hit ‘‘Stranger Things,’’ one character after another goes out of his or her way to enter mysterious realms of terror and goo. What gives?

R e a l ity television is hardly immune. And I’m not just talking about forced incarceration with the geniuses who populate shows like ‘‘Big Brother’’ (8 p.m., CBS, TV-PG) and ‘‘The Bachelorette.’’ According to the network, ‘‘60 Days In’’ (8 p.m., A&E, TV-14) is a hit among younger viewers. Is that because it’s the most contrived documentary series of all? ‘‘60 Days In’’ documents innocent civilians who volunteer to pose as inmates in a real Indiana jail. There they will be followed by more than a hundred hidden cameras as they insinuate themselves into a society of 500 cellmates, ranging from first-time offenders to hardened drug dealers and murderers. Don’t go looking for the witty banter found on ‘‘Orange Is the New Black.’’

Captive characters appear to be working for A&E. Next week, the reality series ‘‘Behind Bars: Rookie Year’’ picks up a second season following newly hired correctional officers.

O Saoirse Ronan charms as a 1950s Irish woman torn between the old country and life in America in the critically acclaimed 2015 drama ‘‘Brooklyn’’ (8 p.m., HBO).

This isn’t the Brooklyn of ‘‘The Honeymooners.’’ We hear chatter about the Brooklyn Dodgers, but the urban decline that drove the team to Los Angeles is nowhere to be seen. For all the repression and lack of opportunity that sent our heroine to America, Ireland seems postcard perfect. ‘‘Brooklyn’’ presents the immigrant experience as a kind of fashion show. And for some, that’s simply lovely. Jessica Pare, who played Don Draper’s gorgeous young wife on ‘‘Mad Men,’’ shows up here as a kind and patient department store supervisor.

Tonight’s other highlights

O A three-hour ‘‘American

Experience’’ (7 p.m., PBS, TVPG, check local listings) profiles President George H.W. Bush.

O Camila asserts herself on ‘‘Queen of the South’’ (9 p.m., USA, TV-14).

O Too much togetherness on ‘‘Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll’’ (9 p.m., FX, TV-MA).

O CeeLo Green and Russell Peters appear on ‘‘Lip Sync Battle’’ (9 p.m., Spike).

Dear Annie: Being the dutiful husband that I am, I drive my nondriving wife to work every day, and I pick her up after work. At her request, I also have been giving a lift home in the evenings to one of her co-workers. It’s not far out of our way, and the fellow is pleasant and likable — well, with the exception that he smells like a farm animal.

It seems to me this man seldom bathes or changes his clothes. I drive with the windows open in the dead of winter, and in the summer, the odor is even more horrific. My wife acknowledges this issue but doesn’t want to confront him or address it. I have no problem talking to this guy diplomatical-

Milwaukee omen can be opportunity

EDITORIALS

Worth it The Dwayne Peaslee Technical Training Center is a good investment and further support for it should be pursued.

T

he Dwayne Peaslee Technical Training Center recently wrapped up a successful first year and has its sights on future growth.

But the new center is only going to scratch the surface of workforce training in Lawrence and Douglas County until a stable source of long-term funding can be identified. The concept of a countywide tax to support economic development, including the center, should at least be explored.

The 17,000-square-foot center opened a year ago at 31st Street and Haskell Avenue to much fanfare. The skills training center is a collaboration of the city of Lawrence, Douglas County, the Lawrence chamber of commerce, the Economic Development Corporation of Lawrence and Douglas County and numerous local companies.

In year one, the Peaslee Center provided hands-on training in building trades, industrial engineering, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning. Peaslee students also took welding classes at Lawrence High School and allied health and emergency medical services classes at the Lawrence College and Career Center adjacent to Peaslee. Neosho County Community College offers the allied health, HVAC, building trades and welding classes; Flint Hills Technical College of Emporia offered the industrial engineering technology classes; and Johnson County Community College provided refresher academic courses in biotechnology, writing and math.

In addition, Peaslee offered noncredit career courses in problem solving, workplace conflict resolution, financial literacy and career building for free thanks to funding from Emprise Bank.

In all, more than 150 students ranging in age from 16 to 70 took vocational classes at Peaslee, which opened with a limited annual budget of $1.2 million.

The city and county have approved $245,105 in funding for next year. Hugh Carter, chamber vice president for external affairs, said Peaslee would continue to seek such funding from the city and county in the coming years. Ultimately, Carter said, the goal is to secure more dependable funding through a countywide economic development tax with some of the revenue dedicated to Peaslee.

The viability of such a tax should be explored. The ability to provide skilled workforce training quickly and efficiently is a critical component of any community economic development strategy. The Peaslee Center can serve as the component for Douglas County. It’s a facility worth investing in.

As racial martyrs go, you could hardly do worse than Sylville Smith.

He was no Trayvon Martin or Tamir Rice, no unarmed innocent gunned down. No, Milwaukee police say Smith was an armed 23year old with a lengthy arrest record — drugs, weapons, robbery — who bolted from a traffic stop Saturday afternoon. They say he ran a short distance, then wheeled around, gun in hand, refusing orders to drop it. Whereupon the police officer shot and killed him.

“I’m not going to say he was an angel,” Smith’s godmother, Katherine Mahmoud, told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

The officer who killed him was a year older than Smith and black, like him.

Though perceptions are obviously subject to change once body-cam footage is released, there is at this writing no reason to believe the officer acted improperly and, indeed, no serious allegation that he did. As such, this incident seems an unlikely focal point for public outrage.

That it became one anyway, that Smith’s death sparked two nights of arson, shooting and general unrest, is an ominous sign. It sug-

When there is no progress even after long years, anger can intermix with frustration and despair and become something much less constructive.” gests the rise of a species of anger inimical to any hope of racial reconciliation in Milwaukee — and cities far beyond.

A certain amount of anger in the face of injustice is not necessarily a bad thing.

Such anger — defined as a passionate impatience with unfair status quo — is often a necessary catalyst for progress. But when there is no progress even after long years, anger can intermix with frustration and despair and become something much less constructive.

It can become something that doesn’t listen, doesn’t reason, doesn’t even hope.

Something that simply explodes.

African Americans in Wisconsin’s largest city say Smith’s death was the last straw after years of racially stratified policing. It is hardly immaterial that an officer was not charged just two years ago in the controversial shooting death of a mentally ill black man. Or that the department is under Justice Department review which, to its credit, it requested.

Who will be shocked if that probe finds what other probes have found in cop shops around the country: patterns of institutionalized racism that corrode public trust and impinge the ability of police to do their jobs.

Unfortunately, there is a tendency, when such probes are done, to treat the affected department as unique, an outlier. Think of the person who sees a drop of water here, a drop of water there, another drop over there, yet somehow never perceives the storm.

It’s worth noting, too, that Mike Crivello, president of the Milwaukee police union, issued a statement after the shooting to “denounce” the

idea of racism in the department’s ranks. Of course, no institution of any size can credibly make a blanket claim of freedom from bias, but that didn’t stop him.

That should tell you something.

Here’s the thing: You get tired of being treated as an unreliable witness to your own experience. You get sick of not being heard. Black Milwaukee has complained for years about biased policing. Yet the police chief pronounced himself “surprised” by this uprising. Apparently, he hasn’t been listening.

The rest of us would do well to avoid that mistake.

If this unrest is an omen, it is also an opportunity — for civic self-examination and accountability, for giving the people a voice, for listening to what they have to say. For making change.

This violence, following what might well have been a justified shooting, was tragic and troubling. But it also made one thing starkly clear. African Americans have been demanding justice a very long time.

And they’re getting tired of asking nicely.

Why young voters find Trump a turn-off Washington — People always remember their first presidential vote — their first participation in the largest decision of American democracy.

In high school, I was a rather awkward, nerdish history buff (my wife would dispute the verb tense). I was also something of a lefty, particularly compared to my conservative religious upbringing. I debated on behalf of Jimmy Carter in the mock election at my Christian high school during the 1980 election, making me a political minority of one.

Michael Gerson michaelgerson@washpost.com

“

While Clinton has an ethics problem, Trump has a humanity problem.”

But my political identification had begun to shift by 1984 and I cast my first presidential vote for Ronald Reagan. For me, exposure to economics had an ideologically sobering effect (a young liberal can’t be too careful in his or her reading). In addition, Walter Mondale and his running mate, Geraldine Ferraro, had turned conservative religious people into a rhetorical skeet target. And Reagan himself — who had demonstrated personal courage and a capacity to govern — seemed to embody something hopeful and decent about the country.

I was not alone. In 1984, voters aged 18 to 24 supported Reagan over Mondale by 61 to 39 percent. “The oldest president in U.S. history and the youngest members of the nation’s electorate,” said the Philadelphia Inquirer in 1986, “have forged one of the strongest bonds in American politics.” The first serious political memories of my generation were

of an appealing, creative, electorally dominant (at the national level) GOP. Now jump forward to a recent USA Today/Rock the Vote poll that shows Hillary Clinton beating Donald Trump by 56 to 20 percent among voters under 35. Let that sink in. Trump is supported by one in five younger voters — an astonishing and consequential collapse for the GOP. While the young don’t turn out at election time with the same frequency as older voters, they always get (and deserve) particular attention from the parties. In the long run, younger voters are older voters. In the long run, older voters are ... companions to John Maynard Keynes.

So why is Trump crashing and burning among the young? The 2016 election excludes some explanations.

It cannot be that Clinton is making an inspiring, Barack Obama-like appeal to youthful idealism. During the primaries, Clinton was routinely trounced among the young.

In Iowa caucus entrance polling, Bernie Sanders bested Clinton among 17- to 29-yearold Democrats by 84 to 14 — the previous most laughable showing among the young.

And it cannot be that younger voters are rejecting Trump because he is too so-

cially conservative. He got applause during his convention speech for promising to defend “LGBTQ citizens.”

Trump’s nomination represents the advance of gay rights (though not of gay marriage) within the Republican coalition and the marginalization of social issues.

I would venture that Trump’s failure among the young has something to do with his assault on the idea of tolerance, particularly racial and religious tolerance.

Younger voters are less likely than other age groups to regard racially inclusive language as “politically correct.” They are less likely to believe in “reverse discrimination” and to embrace antiimmigrant attitudes. And, according to the USA Today/Rock the Vote survey, they were not impressed by the GOP nominee’s convention speech. By more than 2 to 1, younger voters said it made Trump seem less human and accessible.

While Clinton has an ethics problem, Trump has a humanity problem. His combativeness and lack of political polish could be advantages among younger voters. But these are tied to a discrediting lack of empathy. It is one thing to go after “low energy” Jeb Bush or “Lyin’” Ted Cruz; it is an-

other to mock a disabled reporter, stereotype Mexicans as rapists, condemn a judge because of his ethnicity, attack the faith of a grieving Gold Star mother, or call for systematic discrimination against Muslims. These are not violations of political correctness. They are violations of human decency, revealing serious moral impairment.

Here is something for Reince Priebus, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell and other Republican leaders to consider. At high schools and colleges with Latino or Muslim students, spray painting “Trump 2016” on a wall or poster is properly taken as a racially charged incident.

When white students chant “Trump! Trump!” at a basketball game against a team including minorities, it is properly taken as a racial taunt. Young people understand the logo of the Republican nominee — the very name of the Republican presidential candidate — as conveying a message of exclusion.

These are the first serious political impressions of my younger son, voting in his first presidential election this year. It is the way to lose a generation.

Many Calif. fire victims will ‘come home to nothing’ Thousands forced out of houses endure agonizing waits as Blue Cut blaze seethes uncontained

Trevor Hughes and Colin Atagi USA TODAY Network

HESPERIA , CALIF. Tens of thousands of Californians anxiously awaited word on whether their homes were destroyed or beloved animals killed by a fast-growing wildfire outside San Bernardino.

Firefighters didn’t know how many homes or other buildings had been destroyed or how many animals were killed by the smoke and flames from the Blue Cut Fire, which burned more than 25,000 acres and was just 4% contained as of Wednesday night.

As of Wednesday morning, the fire was about the size of San Francisco. And the worst of the state’s wildfire season is yet to come. September and October are usually hot, dry and windy, providing the kindling needed to fan flames.

Firefighters had little good news Wednesday: “There will be a lot of families that come home to nothing,” San Bernardino County Fire Chief Mark Hartwig said.

Among those were Scott and Michelle Keeney, who lost both their home and the historic Route 66 diner the Summit Inn on Cajon Pass. “I was angry last night, but I’m OK right now. This is just a sad reality of where we live,” Michelle Keeney said Wednesday morning while walking through the remnants of their home.

More than 82,000 people have been ordered to leave their homes, many of them fleeing the flames without the chance to bring along pets or livestock.

“There’s a lot of anxiety,” San Bernardino 2nd District Supervisor Janice Rutherford said.

Hours after a prepared speech on “law and order” and days after a formal address on foreign policy, Donald Trump tried to revive a struggling campaign by adding aggressive aides in another staff shake-up — this one less than 90 days before the election.

“I believe we’re adding some of the best talents in politics, with the experience and expertise needed to defeat Hillary Clinton in November,” Trump said Wednesday in announcing two top staff hires.

Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen Bannon will become the campaign’s CEO, and veteran Republican strategist Kellyanne Conway will be campaign manager, Trump announced, tapping two backers who have encouraged his combative brand of anti-establishment politics.

The moves sideline top aide Paul Manafort, though he retains the titles of campaign chairman and chief strategist. Manafort issued a statement through the campaign, saying, “It is imperative we continue to expand our team with top-tier talent.”

The changes signal that Trump, after a series of policy speeches, will probably return to the freewheeling, abrasive stump style that characterized his Republican primary run.

“Trump has decided to go full Trump,” said Republican consultant Bruce Haynes, founding partner of Washington-based Purple Strategies. “Polish is taking a backseat to populism — he’s not going to be the candidate of disciv STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Two U.S. swimmers taken off airplane in Brazil Christine Brennan USA TODAY Sports

In a new and dramatic twist to the story about four U.S. swimmers allegedly being robbed at gunpoint, Olympians Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz were removed from their flight late Wednesday as they tried to leave Brazil, according to U.S. Olympic Committee spokesman Patrick Sandusky.

Sandusky said more information was being gathered, but it is clear this story is not as simple as it sounded Sunday.

Conger and Bentz were being RIO DE JANEIRO

questioned by Brazilian authorities, NBC reported. Their flight was scheduled to leave at 9:10 p.m. local time.

When reached by phone at 4 p.m. local time, Bentz said he was at the airport and could not talk. “I have to go,” he said.

Lochte, Bentz, Conger and Jimmy Feigen said they were robbed at gunpoint early Sunday morning after leaving a party at France House.

A judge ruled earlier Wednesday that Lochte and Feigen were to turn over their passports and remain in Brazil. Lochte, however, is at home in the USA. Judge Keyla Blank said she

based her ruling on inconsistencies in the testimony of Lochte and Feigen.

Feigen is in Rio and said he’s cooperating with officials.

PETER CASEY, USA TODAY “I’m just trySPORTS ing to give Brazil Ryan Lochte what they need or what they want and get out of here,” Feigen told USA TODAY Sports during a telephone interview Wednesday. “It’s a hassle.

But I’m safe. Everything’s fine.”

Also late Wednesday, NBC’s Matt Lauer said he had talked

with Lochte, who described his original interview with Brazilian authorities as “casual, friendly and vague.”

Lochte told the network that police “did not question his truthfulness.” After the interview, Lochte said investigators thanked him and congratulated him on his performance in the pool.

Blank wrote in her filing that there were questions about a gap between when the swimmers said they left France House and arrived at the athletes village. The swimmers said they departed France House about 4 a.m. Surveillance video showed they checked back in to the athletes

village at 6:56 a.m., the judge wrote. Such a trip during earlymorning hours would take 30 to 40 minutes.

She also indicated that images from France House showed a different time of departure from the one the men alleged.

She said they did not appear to be shaken by the alleged crime.

“They arrived with their psychological and physical integrity unshaken,” she wrote, noting the swimmers appeared to be joking with each other and did not appear to be upset.

VOICES

Brazilians conflicted over Olympics Alan Gomez

@alangomez USA TODAY

RIO DE JANEIRO Ask Brazilians how they feel their country is doing hosting the 2016 Summer Olympic Games, and you’ll get a very Brazilian answer: It’s complicated.

The Games were originally supposed to be a celebration of the progress Brazil made throughout the 2000s after its economy boomed, millions of poor Brazilians rose to the middle class and the country became the darling of the global financial industry.

But the tenor of the Olympics changed after the country suffered a series of epic collapses, from a sharp economic recession to an ever-growing corruption scandal to political upheaval that led to suspended president Dilma Rousseff being indicted by Brazil’s Senate last week.

No longer were these the Games to showcase Brazil’s promise, but to salve the nation’s collective wounds.

“Brazil needed something like this because of all the bad things we’ve been going through,” Rodrigo Monteiro, 24, a chemical engineer from São Paulo, told me this week. “We needed to be

ERIC SEALS, USA TODAY SPORTS

Brazilians watch the opening ceremonies of the Olympics on television Aug. 5 in Rio de Janeiro near the Maracana Stadium. Some residents couldn’t afford to attend the Games. proud to be Brazilians again.”

What they’ve gotten has been an often frustrating display of the contradictions that plague this South American country. uAfter an opening ceremony that stunned and impressed viewers around the world, the water in the Olympic diving pool turned a gag-inducing green. uTV shots of Olympians competing under Rio’s glorious, green mountains were interrupted by news that an overhead camera in Olympic Park had come crashing to the ground, injuring seven fans. uJournalists claimed their

bus came under gunfire, while delegations from Australia to China to Portugal have been mugged.

As the Games wind to a close, Brazilians can recite each of those instances with ease.

Renato dos Santos Faria, a urologist from Rio, says each new report of a mugging or a malfunction at an Olympic venue stings him.

“It’s not good exposure,” he says. “It’s sad.”

Some Brazilians still chafe at how little access they have to an event that was supposed to be designed largely for them.

Luis Philipp, 24, an engineer in Brazil’s merchant marine, took a stroll with his girlfriend along Copacabana Beach on Tuesday night to soak in some of the Olympic fervor. They stopped to watch a TV screen showing a Brazilian boxer collecting a gold medal, strolled past street merchants hawking Olympic trinkets and listened to a band singing a Portuguese version of Everything’s Gonna Be Alright.

Philipp, who took a bus and a train from a far western suburb of Rio to reach the beach, couldn’t even dream about getting into any of the actual events.

Even as athletes compete in arenas that are noticeably empty, ticket prices can start at $30 for less popular sports and balloon into the hundreds for more popular sports such as soccer and basketball.

“It’s too expensive,” he says.

“This is the Olympics for you, not for us.”

If I’ve learned anything about Brazilians from my multiple trips here, it’s that they can find a silver lining in just about anything.

Faria says the Olympics forced the Brazilian government to finish a light rail system from the domestic airport to the city center and a desperately needed fourth subway line to the western corners of the city. He points to Rio’s port district, a once-des-

olate area that has been been revitalized with waterfront walkways and a new science museum dubbed the Museum of Tomorrow.

“If we didn’t have these Olympics,” he says, “this final deadline, it would’ve taken the government 30 years to finish all of that.”

Carolina Bueno Tereza, 31, an English and Spanish teacher from the interior city of Pereira Barreto, took a break from her hectic schedule of Olympic events to explain to me why she’s happy with the Games.

Building Olympic Park and other venues generated construction jobs for thousands of Brazilians. All the hotels and restaurants that usually wait until late in the year, when Brazil’s summer season begins, to hire additional workers have bolstered their staffs, adding employment.

She says the glitches at venues and the muggings — none of them violent, she noted — are pretty much to be expected after 350,000 tourists descended on her picturesque yet chaotic country.

“All the world is learning at least a little bit about Brazil,” she says. “For 20 days, the eyes of the world are here, and overall, it’s been good.”

You don’t have to be roiled by spoilers Fans can still soak up the Games — even if they know the results Alia E. Dastagir @alia_e USA TODAY

Avoiding Olympic spoilers is an exercise in futility.

By the time you watch the events, you likely already know that Simone Biles won floor, Usain Bolt claimed an unprecedented third gold in a row in the 100-meter sprint, and Michael Phelps ended his legendary career on the top of the podium after the 4x100-meter medley relay.

But the difference between knowing and experiencing is vast, and our enjoyment of these events is not absolutely tied to their outcomes.

What the result doesn’t show is the exquisite motion as Biles springs from the vault, tumbles through the air and lands back on Earth with magnificent precision.

It doesn’t encompass Bolt’s otherworldly speed as he blazes past Justin Gatlin, his long legs pumping ferociously toward the finish

Experts say suspense is not essential for pleasure, and if we intend on avoiding spoilers altogether, we may find ourselves doing little else.

“No matter how you stop up the genie, it’s not going to stay in the bottle,” said Al Tompkins, of media watchdog Poynter.

As viewing has become increasingly asynchronous, spoilers have become an insoluble problem. Readers are outraged by the arrival of the final game result, the brutal plot twist, the revelation of who won the coveted final rose.

But the “just-wait-for-me-towatch-it” ask is untenable. If the press withholds information, how long should it hold it for? The world is a big place. Does it hold it for the American market? For viewers to finally catch up on their DVRs? The media’s job is to inform, not to withhold, which, experts say, means spoilers are an ineluctable reality.

But all is not lost.

A 2011 study from the University of California-San Diego found that spoilers don’t always hurt outcomes or enjoyment of an event.

And, in some cases, they can enhance it: Knowing a story’s plot means you can spend less time wondering what happens and more time appreciating great writing. The study didn’t look specifically at sporting events, but Nicholas Christenfeld, who ran the experiment, said he suspects the findings would still hold true.

pline, he’s going to be the candidate of disruption.”

Expect Trump to step up attacks on Clinton, the Democrats and perhaps the Republican establishment, as well. Bannon’s news site, Breitbart, has been supportive of Trump’s campaign and critical of establishment figures such as House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis. In a profile of Bannon published last year, Bloomberg Politics described Breitbart News as “the crusading right-wing populist website that’s a lineal descendant of the Drudge Report (its late founder, Andrew Breitbart, spent years apprenticing with Matt Drudge) and a haven for people who think Fox News is too polite and restrained.”

Rick Tyler, a former aide to Trump rival Ted Cruz, said the campaign moves “may give some people short-term hope,” but he is skeptical of the businessman’s ability to expand his appeal beyond his core supporters.

“When Trump is who he is, he drives general voters away — people he doesn’t already have,” said Tyler, an MSNBC consultant. “I think he already has the Breitbart crowd.”

This is the second major staff move in two months; Trump fired

original campaign manager Corey Lewandowski in June.

Conway disputed the idea there’s been a campaign shake-up, saying Trump is building out his organization before the stretch run to the election Nov. 8.

She noted that Manafort and deputy Rick Gates maintain their jobs.

She and Bannon “have been added to what I would call the ‘core four’ of that senior team, and we’re going to divide responsibilities according to our best and highest uses,” Conway said.

The latest news broke amid a steady stream of polls showing Trump behind Clinton, both nationally and in battleground states that are the keys to winning the Electoral College.

While Bannon will manage the campaign overall, Conway will provide strategic advice that includes outreach to female voters who favor Clinton.

In a statement, the Trump campaign said the announcement comes “at a time of significant growth” that includes “the first major TV ad buy of the general election slated to start later this week.”

Trump conducted a meeting Wednesday with national security advisers and received his first formal classified intelligence briefing from U.S. officials, a courtesy ex-

“If I tell you the end of Swan Lake, it doesn’t diminish your enjoyment of it, it allows you to focus on the genius of it,” Christenfeld said.

But the electricity of that moment could only be felt by watching it unfold.

“When I went down I was like ‘Why am I on the ground’ and suddenly there was this hand on my shoulder,” Hamblin said. It was D’Agostino, who was lifting her rival to her feet. “Come on, get up,” she said.

And they did. “It is a moment that I will never ever forget for the rest of my life,” Hamblin said.

‘Extreme’ screening could delve into ideology Trump’s idea about vetting immigrants to keep out terrorists harkens to an earlier era when political beliefs could mean rejection Gregg Zoroya @greggzoroya USA TODAY

In calling for “extreme vetting” of foreigners entering the USA, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump suggested a return to a 1950s-era immigration standard — since abandoned — that barred entry to people based on their political beliefs.

“We should only admit into this country those who share our values and respect our people,” Trump said Monday, explaining how he would deter terrorists from entering the USA. He cited an immigration law passed in 1952 over a veto by President Harry Truman that allowed consular officers to judge applicants based on their ideological views. In the years that followed, homosexuality was included as a reason for barring entry.

“It became an embarrassment for America,” said Barney Frank, a Democrat and former representative from Massachusetts.

The ideological screening and ban on classes of individuals such as homosexuals were excised in a series of immigration law revisions from 1986 to 1990. Frank, the first openly gay member of Congress, co-authored the 1990 law.

“We were going to scrub this and get rid of all these categories of exclusion and instead say, ‘You can’t come here if you are going to do us harm,’ ” said Frank, who served in Congress from 1981 to

2013. “In other words, your political opinion was irrelevant.”

Frank worked with Alan Simpson, then a Republican senator from Wyoming, on the changes, which received near unanimous approval by Congress in 1990.

Both men said they can’t fathom how ideological screening based on American “values” — as Trump suggested — could work in a nation of diverse beliefs.

“What are the values? How do you decide them? And who decides whether they’re good or bad?” Frank said.

“Don’t give me the American values stuff. I can’t handle that,” said Simpson, who retired in 1997. “Those are individual values. The only thing we have in common is a common flag and a common language.”

Trump spent several minutes during his speech on terrorism calling into question the toughness of vetting policies for the millions who enter the USA, a complex security review process that admits 40 million foreigners each year on temporary visas for business, education and other reasons. Some people enter more than once, and more than 1 million arrive to live here permanently.

Nearly 1,200 people who tried to enter the USA on temporary visas in 2014 were rejected based on terrorist grounds, according to a Congressional Research Service report last year.

“The burden of proof is always on the foreign national to prove they’re eligible,” said Ruth Wasem, author of the report and

Jeong said Thae was “sick and tired” of the regime of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, worried about his children’s future and yearned for a liberal and democratic country, according to The Guardian.

A sergeant who supervised Micah Johnson, the man who killed five Dallas police officers in July, told the Army that his gun should be taken from him in 2014 because he posed a potential threat, according to an Army investigation released Wednesday.

The report, finished in May

2014, was conducted after a female soldier complained that Johnson had sexually harassed her while they were stationed in Afghanistan and that he had stolen her underwear.

Johnson killed five Dallas police officers July 7 as police provided security for a demonstration against police violence.

Police used a robot armed with a bomb to kill Johnson.

uThe U.S. Coast Guard helped rescue hundreds of people aboard the Caribbean Fantasy, a car and passenger ferry that caught fire off the coast of Puerto Rico on Wednesday morning. There were no immediate reports of injuries. uTurkey issued a decree Wednesday paving the way for the conditional release of about 38,000 prisoners, Justice Minister Bokir Bozdag said. The move could reduce the country’s prison population and make space for thousands of people who have been arrested as part of an investigation into last month’s failed coup, the Associated Press reported.

The process can take up to two years. Applicants identified as refugees, most of them by United Nations officials, have their personal data collected and files started on them at resettlement support centers operated by the United States around the world — in places such as Amman, Havana, Beirut, Nairobi and Moscow.

The State Department describes refugees as people with a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a social group. Syrians seeking refugee status go through additional scrutiny because Islamic State terrorists are based in Syria.

Refugee applicants can be questioned about their religious affiliations, but there are no grounds for barring them based on their adherence to Sharia law, an Islamic religious code of behavior, according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

In his speech, Trump said foreigners should be barred if they believe “Sharia law should supplant American law.”

professor of public policy at the Lyndon Baines Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas-Austin.

A triad of government departments — State, Homeland Security and Health and Human Services — work together to conduct thorough immigration reviews for the roughly 70,000 allowed to enter the USA as refugees seeking asylum, often from war-torn countries, according to Homeland Security. President Obama raised that figure to 85,000 for this year.

In 2014, this included 14,582 refugees from Iraq, 12,514 from China, 9,804 from Myanmar and 652 from Syria. Obama promised last year to take in 10,000 refugees from Syria.

When Congress raised concerns last fall about the risk of allowing “sleeper” terrorists to infiltrate the USA through the refugee program, the State Department publicly outlined the security screening, which admits asylum applicants “only after subjecting them to the most rigorous screening and security vetting of any category of traveler to the United States.”

Hillary Clinton says Donald Trump’s tax plan would hurt working families.

Heidi M. Przybyla USA TODAY

Hillary Clinton thinks she can turn one of Donald Trump’s greatest strengths — his business acumen — against him by arguing he’d use the Oval Office to enrich himself instead of the nation’s working class.

Trump has built his appeal as a real-estate billionaire who uses fiery populist rhetoric and pledges to bring back working-class jobs to the nation’s most depressed regions. Last spring, he even floated fashioning the GOP into a “workers’ party.”

Yet Clinton says his economic plan, detailed in a speech last week in Detroit, will hurt working families in favor of millionaires and billionaires, and she’s calculating the ways in which Trump stands to personally benefit from it.

At a Wednesday rally in Cleveland, Clinton said the GOP nominee’s tax plan would create a new “Trump loophole” that would allow wealthy Americans like himself to pay less than half the current tax rate on their income.

“It’s really good for Trump,” said Clinton, noting he would pay a lower rate than middle-class families with his proposed 15% rate on business income. “Of course, we have no idea what tax rate he

pays,” given that he’s refused to release his tax returns, said Clinton.

Further, ending the estate tax, as Trump proposes, would result in a $4 billion gain for his own family, she estimated.

The speech is part of a coordinated effort in key battleground states to argue that Trump’s economic plan would redirect the nation’s dollars from critical investments in infrastructure, education and health care to Wall Street, big companies and the pockets of the richest Americans.

In the past, she’s called it repackaged “trickle-down economics.”

The approach builds on a narrative she began in July by highlighting contractors who say they’ve been stiffed by Trump.

“For anyone waiting for Donald Trump to suddenly become more responsible, remember what a great American Maya Angelou said: ‘When someone shows you who they are, believe them,’ ” said Clinton.

Trump says his tax plan would pay for itself as companies use their tax savings to reinvest and create good-paying jobs.

Clinton is dialing up the approach Democrats used in 2012 against Mitt Romney, who was felled in part by his business record as Democrats highlighted layoffs during his Bain Capital tenure.

Fed interest rate hike may come ‘soon’ But policymakers still divided on whether economy could bear it Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

Investors locked on one word from the Federal Reserve’s minutes released Wednesday: “soon.”

The Fed’s minutes from its July meeting revealed a subtle shift in the central bank’s stance, indicating a hike in short-term interest rates is increasingly likely. “They (members of Federal Open Market Committee) judged that another increase in the fed-

eral funds rate was or would soon be warranted,” according to the notes. If the Fed were to make a move in its upcoming September meeting, that would be its first hike to short-term interest rates this year.

Stocks were stable after the news as investors focused on the Fed’s increased faith in the strength of the economy but also the fact that the Fed still seems torn.

President Obama has presided over a period of practically perpertual bull markets. Coming into office in the aftermath of the financial crisis, the stock market has been in a bull market during 98.3% of his time in the Oval Office, according to an analysis from Bespoke Investment Group.

By that measure, Obama was the second-most-bullish president since 1929. President George H.W. Bush spent his time as president with markets in a bull.

Here’s why Lowe’s didn’t do as well as Home Depot Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

Home Depot’s earnings report didn’t foreshadow the results over at rival Lowe’s.

Lowe’s reported higher second-quarter profit and revenue Wednesday, but the company’s stock slid as its performance missed Wall Street’s expectations.

The big-box chain posted a 3.6% increase in net income to $1.17 billion for the period ended July 29. On a per-share basis, the

company’s earnings rose from $1.20 to $1.31. That compared to S&P Global Market Intelligence expectations of $1.42 per share.

Disappointed investors drove Lowe’s shares down 5.6% Wednesday, closing at $76.88.

The worse-than-expected performance came two days after competitor Home Depot met expectations for the quarter.

Second-quarter revenue rose 5.3% to $18.26 billion, missing expectations of $18.42 billion.

Sales at stores open at least a year — a common metric used to gauge a retailer’s health — rose

CHUCK BURTON, AP

1.9% in the second quarter. That compared to Home Depot’s 4.7% increase.

“We delivered solid results for the first half of the year, in line with our expectations,” Lowe’s

CEO Robert Niblock said in a statement.

“We believe we are well positioned ... (for) the second half of this year as we continue to execute on our strategic priorities to ... deepen our relationships with professional customers and drive productivity and profitability.”

The divergence for Lowe’s and Home Depot may seem unusual because the companies’ fates are often intertwined.

But S&P Global Market Intelligence analyst Efraim Levy said Home Depot benefited from a surge of business from profes-

sional renovators and builders, an area where Lowe’s isn’t as strong.

He said Lowe’s is stronger in the garden business, but that segment was hurt by cool weather in May. Lastly, he noted, the housing market in the western U.S., where Home Depot has a broader footprint, is stronger.

UBS analyst Michael Lasser said in a research note that Home Depot’s physical store-to-web connections, professional customer base and localized products will help keep it “positioned to maintain its standing as a leader in the space.”

It is the furthest thing from who I am.” Bolt retweeted DeGeneres’ original post.

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

Land, ho. Zombies? Oh, no.

After a half-season spent largely at sea, AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead resumes Season 2 Sunday (9 ET/PT) on dry land, but in an increasingly shaky world.

Mexico, where the drama was filmed this season, offers a variety of intriguing geographic settings, from a Pacific Ocean resort to hot, rugged desert to the city of Tijuana, a reminder of the urban Los Angeles setting from the show’s beginning.

After a three-month hiatus, the show will visit multiple environs in the final eight episodes as the extended family of Madison Clark (Kim Dickens) and Travis Manawa (Cliff Curtis), connected by blood and circumstance, is separated for the first time.

“Mexico offered so much to us.

There’s so much beautiful tradition; there’s the landscape; there’s the ocean, the cities, the sprawling, vast desert areas,” Dickens says. Now, the characters are “refugees in another country, and that country offers all of its magic to the show.”

The characters’ arrival in Mex-

Travis Manawa (Cliff Curtis) hits the road with his son, Chris (Lorenzo James Henrie). Inset, Kim Dickens as Madison Clark. ico, which happened in a recent episode, also offers Fear a different feel, with a language barrier for some, and new characters who see the flesh-eating zombies, or infected, as something other than monsters to be destroyed.

“In the States, there’s a certain remove. There’s more fear of death,” executive producer Dave Erickson says. “In many other parts of the world, there is a sense that the dead are never really gone, that they’re always present and that we should embrace them and not distance ourselves.”

As Fear resumes, the family di-

vision finds Madison’s son, Nick (Frank Dillane), wandering the desert on a solo spiritual quest of sorts before finding a Tijuana survivor community with unorthodox traditions; Madison, daughter Alicia (Alycia DebnamCarey) and adoptive comrades Ofelia (Mercedes Mason) and Strand (Colman Domingo) taking refuge in a luxury oceanfront hotel that may be inhabited; and Travis hitting the road to try to stop his teenage son, Chris (Lorenzo James Henrie), from turning further toward darkness.

The younger characters under-

go coming-of-age evolutions, with Nick, now feeling invincible, at the center of Sunday’s episode.

For a cast that had been working together for more than a season, it was difficult to be separated, Dickens says, but it works for the characters and the show, which averaged 7.8 million viewers during the first part of Season 2.

“We’re split apart and that challenges our group, but storywise, it allows us to delve into the characters in more detail and watch them evolve after the apocalypse,” she says.

It’s not just the younger characters who are changing.

In a recent episode, Madison, who has formed a bond with Strand, showed a protective but merciless streak when she locked the deluded leader of a survivor compound in a cell with the zombies.

“When I read it, my first reaction was: ‘How is the audience going to react, that Madison is now a cold-blooded killer of the living?’ But I thought this is the evolution of the character. She finds this person a danger to her son,” says Dickens, explaining that such a threat goes to the character’s core. Madison’s “main goal has been to keep her family safe and that has been stripped from her. She doesn’t lose hope that (family members) will find each other again, but she’s convinced to move on and find a safe place.”

The tone is uneven, but not Jonah Hill’s slick performance

All it took for the Jonah Hill tour de force to finally materialize was a machine gun, a jones for Scarface and sleazy, smarmy bravado.

Director and co-writer Todd Phillips (The Hangover) unleashes Hill in a breakout way in War Dogs (eegE MOVIE stars out of four; ratREVIEW ed R; in theaters FriBRIAN day), a strangerTRUITT than-fiction, real-life tale involving two amateur war profiteers getting way too involved in the dangerous world of global arms dealing in the mid-2000s. The film is loaded with a gripping plot and enjoyably sketchy characters but hobbled by an uneven tone that ricochets between zany comedy and serious crime thriller.

David Packouz (Miles Teller) is a twentysomething college dropout getting by in Miami Beach as a massage therapist when he reconnects with childhood best friend Efraim Diveroli (Hill). No

WARNER BROS. PICTURES

Efraim (Jonah Hill) and David (Miles Teller) are young international arms dealers who get in way over their heads. one in David’s life is fond of his old pal, but he nonetheless looks up to Efraim for his self-confidence and devil-may-care style.

David, in need of a bigger paycheck to support his pregnant girlfriend (Ana de Armas), enlists with Efraim’s business selling weapons to the government. The two quickly move up the militaryindustrial food chain and snag a great contract to deliver Berettas to American soldiers in Baghdad, a situation that soon goes south.

War Dogs is at its best with

quick banter and slick action scenes, especially when the boys fly to Jordan and cross into Iraq, where they unwittingly drive through the “Triangle of Death.”

Unfortunately, the momentum fades after David and Efraim win a $300 million contract from the Pentagon to outfit the Afghan army. Then various betrayals and girlfriend drama ensue, and karma takes the safety off.

Phillips is known mainly for his comedies but shows a keen eye for dramatic tension. War

Dogs struggles at times with what it wants to be, but like the filmmaker’s funnier fare (Road Trip, Old School), it does mine the director’s gift for exploring the extreme limits of friendship with entertaining pairings. Teller’s David is the more strait-laced of the two, still finding ways to make bad decisions early and often, and complements the decadent Tony Montana Jr. vibe of Hill’s faux criminal kingpin.

The Wolf of Wall Street hinted at the great work Hill can do with the right antagonistic role, and War Dogs lets him steal the movie at gunpoint, going full wannabe gangster, shooting off his mouth or an AK-47 with equal precision.

Teller is solid in his straightman role, and Bradley Cooper has a fun turn as a shady international arms dealer whose connections give David and Efraim access to an impressive Albanian arsenal.

While the sheer number of bullets outnumber the laughs in War Dogs — to be fair, there are a lot of bullets — Phillips’ direction and Hill’s wild-child performance are the bomb in this escapade of doltish dudes doing dumb things.

Raise the roof

Depth evident to KU football

BELOW: The Jayhawks play Kansas State before a packed house at Horejsi on Sept. 23, 2015. BOTTOM: Kansas hosts Denver, Nov. 26, 2013, at Allen Fieldhouse.

T

exas is ranked No. 2 in the nation in women’s volleyball, Kansas No. 5.

Two of KU’s three losses during a 30-3, 2015 season came to Texas, the national runner-up, the third loss to Nebraska, the national champion.

Both Texas and Kansas are coming off of Final Four appearances and interest in KU’s volleyball team has outgrown the 1,300-capacity Horejsi Center.

Now, close your eyes and picture 16,300 packing Allen Fieldhouse to cheer for the Jayhawks and boo the Longhorns.

Athletic department bean

counters would love that, but they would not be the only ones with that sentiment.

“Texas would love to play us at Allen Fieldhouse,” Kansas head coach Ray Bechard said. “They would love that, even if there were 15, 16 thousand because they would say, ‘This is new to us

and it’s new to them, even though there are more fans cheering for Kansas.’”

Drawing such a crowd would count as another big moment for volleyball in the middle of the country.

Remember, every Final Four contestant, including Minnesota, came from the Central time zone.

“Yes, one of our secondary goals is growing the sport in the region, but obviously one of our primary goals is giving our team the best chance to be competitive at the national level,” Bechard said.

Losing a match at Allen that might have been won at Horejsi would be detrimental to KU’s national ranking, which stands at No. 5, here in the preseason.

At some point, though, playing a big match in the fieldhouse does have a certain appeal to it.

“I would love to play in Allen just to see how much we could fill it up and just to be playing on that floor would be awesome,” All-American junior setter Ainise Havili said. “But I love this gym. It’s really intimate. It gets really loud, throws a lot of people off.

And it’s just what we’re used to. There are pros and cons to both.”

It’s not quite as catchy as David Beaty’s “earn it” tagline, but the word buzzing around the Kansas football team’s preseason camp this August has been depth.

Each time Beaty, preparing for his second season at KU, gives an update on the progress witnessed at practices, his handy list of Jayhawks who have impressed him seems to grow. Likewise, players and assistant coaches often cite the quality and quantity of players competing for spots as a true sign of the program’s improvement over the last 12 months.

According to defensive coordinator Clint Bowen, last season, when Kansas finished 0-12, the lack of depth magnified the team’s deficiencies. The way Bowen tells it, KU’s shortcomings first became evident at practices and that made it all the more challenging to compete with deeper opponents on Saturdays.

There “I’ve told were our kids. It’s not any se- some cret. There guys last were some guys last year that year that got to got to play play by by default sometimes, default just because somethere wasn’t anybody be- times ... hind them That’s not to go. That’s the case not the case this year,” this year.”

B o w e n shared.

— KU defensive “ W e ’ v e coordinator Clint had a lot of Bowen guys step up this year and we’re working hard,” he continued. “We’re almost to the point now where we’ve got three kids at every spot that are fighting hard to move up to two or one, or hold onto one and not become two. That’ll helps us throughout the season, because you’ve gotta play so many guys.”

Even the third player on the depth chart is just an injury away from being forced into a contributing role, so Beaty, Bowen and the KU staff are thrilled not only to have options at each position but also greater trust in the players who might not crack the first two-deep.

Last season, in need of depth in the secondary, Kansas elected to move Derrick Neal from receiver to cornerback a few weeks into the season. Now a junior, Neal doesn’t mind having to work each practice to maintain his position on the depth chart.

“Last year we didn’t have that push. We didn’t have the depth, so we couldn’t

Asked recently about what drives him after winning a national title in 2008 and 12 consecutive Big 12 regular season titles heading into the 2016-17 season, Kansas coach Bill Self didn’t bat an eye.

“There’s a ton left to play for,” Self said during a recent appearance on KLWN’s Rock Chalk Sports Talk. “I’ve always felt this way. When you are successful or teams are successful, the tendency is you can relax. But in our situation, certainly the more you get, the more you want.”

That blanket statement

can cover just about every aspect of Kansas basketball entering Self’s 14th season in charge of the program.

Win 12 straight Big 12 titles from 2005-2016, go get No. 13 this season. Add the nation’s top-rated recruit in both the 2013 and 2016 recruiting classes, go add the next one in 2017.

For what it’s worth, given

its long-standing relationship with him, KU appears to be in good shape in its pursuit of 7-foot center DeAndre Ayton, ranked by Rivals.com as the top player in the 2017 class.

Regardless of whether you emphasize recruiting, winning or the facilities

Raiders trust in ex-KU star Heeney BALTIMORE ORIOLES

By Josh Dubow AP Sports Writer

Napa, Calif. — When the Oakland Raiders set out this offseason to upgrade their defense, general manager Reggie McKenzie systematically targeted every apparent need except for one.

McKenzie rebuilt his secondary, added a pass rusher in Bruce Irvin and fortified the defensive line by using a second-round pick on Jihad Ward but was content to stand pat at middle linebacker to give second-year player Ben Heeney a chance to win the job.

“It definitely lets you know they have confidence in you,” Heeney said. “It makes you feel good but that doesn’t mean anything. It’s just what you do on the field every day.”

Heeney had been groomed to be Oakland’s middle linebacker after being drafted in the fifth round out of Kansas in 2015. He had played more on the outside in college but the Raiders liked him in the middle, where he backed up veteran Curtis Lofton for most of last season.

Heeney played about onequarter of the defensive snaps last season but got more time as the year went on and he gained the confidence of his coaches.

Now as the starter this year,

NCAA OKs expanded video review in baseball Omaha, Neb. (ap) — The NCAA on Wednesday approved a proposal to expand video review in college baseball to cover regular-season games starting in 2017.

Conferences and schools will be allowed to implement the rule, which has been used on an experimental basis at the College World Series since 2012 and in super regionals the past two years.

Video review can be used to determine if an apparent home run is fair or foul; if a batted ball left the playing field for a home run or a ground-rule double; if a batted ball is fair; if a fielder made a catch on a fair ball hit into the outfield or on any foul ball; if a player should be ejected for illegal or malicious slides; if a runner scored before the last out of an inning was recorded at another base; to decide scoring plays at the plate; and to determine whether a fan interfered on a play.

The penalty for using an illegal bat was toughened. If an umpire determines a bat is illegal before the first pitch is thrown to a batter, the batter will be called out. Previously, the bat was removed from the game and the batter was required to use a legal bat.

The Playing Rules Oversight Panel also clarified a rule regarding pitchers’ windup positions. The Baseball Rules Committee had been concerned that base runners and umpires were having difficulty differentiating when a pitcher is in a windup or in the stretch position to hold runners closer to the base. The rule’s language was clarified to say that a pitcher is considered to be in a windup position when his shoulders and chest are generally facing home plate.

LeBron leaves door open for Olympics return

Western & Southern Western & Southern

noon ESPN2 34, 234 6 p.m. ESPN2 34, 234

LeBron James misses the Olympic stage.

The Cleveland superstar, who decided to skip his fourth Olympics after leading the Cavaliers to an NBA title in June, said in an interview with ESPN’s Rachel Nichols that he’s keeping an eye on his teammates at the Rio Games.

“Every time I watch ‘em I wish I was out there,” James said in the interview, which will air today. “I did not retire from Team USA. I just did not play this summer. So I still left the door open.”

James joined USA Basketball for the 2004 games in Athens, where the Americans lost their opener to Puerto Rico, dropped two more games and settled for bronze. He returned on the 2008 Redeem Team and won gold in Beijing and then captured another title four years ago in London.

After leading the Cavs to an historic comeback against Golden State, James said he needed rest and would not play in Brazil. If he decides to return to the national team, he would be 35 at the 2020 Tokyo Games.

James, who signed a three-year, $100 million deal with the Cavs last week, also said in another online interview that he would be interested in NBA ownership when his playing days are over.

“I feel like my brain, as far as the game of basketball, is unique,” James said on “Open Run,” a new podcast which is part of the “Uninterrupted” media platform he co-founded. “I would love to continue to give my knowledge to the game. I would love to be a part of a franchise — if not at the top. My dream is to actually own a team. If I’m fortunate enough to own a team, then I’m going to hire the best GM and president that I can. But I feel like I got a good eye for not only talent, because we all see a lot of talent, but the things that make the talent.”

teammates and is embarrassed about the second consecutive season of violating the league’s substance abuse policy.

General manager Doug Whaley told The Associated Press he’s frustrated and disappointed, but adds the team is going to stick by Dareus because “he’s family.”

However, Whaley says Dareus must “start holding up his end of the bargain.”

aren’t going to be as close. The closeness and the intimacy that you feel in here, you probably would not feel in Allen Fieldhouse.”

Not everyone who wanted to purchase a season ticket was able to and every seat for every match is sold out. Talk about a tough ticket.

Jim Marchiony, the athletic department supervisor for volleyball, said “very preliminary discussions,” have taken place about the feasibility of expanding Horejsi, but he also pointed out that the minimum capacity to become eligible to serve as host school for an NCAA Regional is 3,000.

“So it doesn’t really make sense to go from 1,300 to 2,000,” Marchiony said. “I think if we do something, we

need to do something that will allow us to host a regional.”

It would require a new building and if you’re going to build one that seats 3,000, why not kick it all the way to 4,500?

Make it the home court for both volleyball and a women’s basketball team that now plays in front of crowds so small that they give Allen Fieldhouse a cavernous feel.

Upon hearing my suggestion, Marchiony’s face took on a look that suggested he just had chugged a quarter of used motor oil.

“I don’t know if you ask the women not to play in Allen Fieldhouse,” Marchiony said.

A more intimate building would make for a better environment.

“When we get good we’re going to draw

more than 4,500,” he said.

Marchiony came to Kansas from UConn, a women’s basketball powerhouse that averaged 12,859 for its games in 2002-03, Marchiony’s last year at the school.

The Huskies drew an average of 8,920 fans last season.

He said he’s not basing his optimism about future women’s hoops crowds on UConn’s success, rather on an Allen Fieldhouse crowd of 5,634 that watched Kansas upset No. 23 Texas, 70-61, on Jan. 3, 2006, to improve its record to 12-0.

Still, the fieldhouse was only slightly more than one-third full, not as appealing as a 4,500-building with no empty seats.

If the women’s team does develop into a winner and generates a buzz, Allen Fieldhouse could always remain an option for big games.

At the moment, there are no plans finding a bigger home for volleyball/smaller home for women’s hoops, but I do like the idea.

The Jayhawks are expected to enter the upcoming season ranked in the Top 5 in the preseason polls. With a good mix of returning talent, fresh faces and veteran leaders, reaching that goal certainly figures to be a possibility once again.

“We wanted that national championship very badly in ’08,” Self recalled.

“But all that did was make us want another one even more. I hope we’re in the position to play for the highest stakes again, and I hope it’s sooner rather than later.”

ber of significant injuries during his short NBA career, was back at it this week, attempting a comeback.

Working at a free agent minicamp in Los Angeles, Henry, 25, talked about his down-and-out journey — an ACL tear, a ruptured Achilles tendon, an injured wrist — that brought him onto the court at the Los Angeles Lakers practice facility looking for another chance.

“It was unbelievably tough,” Henry told NBA. com’s Joey Ramirez. “For two years. It’s depressing.

You go through so many emotions. So many: ‘Do I quit? Is it over?’”

Henry answered that question during the past

year, first by earning a training camp invite from the Golden State Warriors and then by rehabbing with the Warriors D-League affiliate. Now, he’s looking for more, and Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak believes the former Laker, who averaged 10 points a game in 43 contests in L.A. in 2013-14, can get there.

“We know the kid and we know what kind of heart he has,” Kupchak told NBA.com. “He’s still young enough to make a run at the NBA, so we wish him the best.”

As for Henry, he’s just happy for the opportunity.

“I’m feeling blessed that I can even play basketball again,” he said.

the winning shot against USC, called the fans who pack Horejsi “incredible, so nice.”

“It wouldn’t be the same as in here,” Rigdon said. “The energy people bring in this gym is so incredible and unique.

It would be awesome to play in Allen, but I think playing here was best for us because it was so loud. We’re used to the people here. We’re used to the lights. We’re used to the noise. I think Allen would be a whole different experience. It would be good either way, but here it feels like home.”

Senior Tayler Soucie, a first-team All-Big 12 selection last season, played in the fieldhouse in the NCAA tournament as a freshman.

“We’re excited where we’re at,” Self said. “We think our facilities are the best that they’ve ever been. They’ve basically become second to no one.

And we have a chance to recruit to that now. We haven’t up until this point, so I’m really excited about us hopefully even drawing as good of or a better athlete to help us realize that dream of trying to cut down nets again.”

This year I feel like we have those guys to make the guys that are in front of them push more,” said Neal, who guessed as many as eight players would be in the mix at cornerback this year.

During a crucial evaluation scrimmage last weekend, Beaty noted, Neal came away with a late interception of a Ryan Willis pass.

“It really kind of tipped the momentum back to the defense, which we need,” Beaty said of Neal’s takeaway. “It was in a twominute period. He made a really nice play, very instinctual, kind of baited the quarterback. That was a great play by Derrick.”

Beaty, per usual, listed off a bevy of names Monday when highlighting KU’s noteworthy perfor-

KU calls on Dort According to college recruiting blogger Zach Smart, it’s Florida that is the clear front runner for four-star Class of 2018 guard Luguentz Dort.

But the Jayhawks are making a run.

Dort’s prep coach, Shaun Wiseman, recently told Smart that the Kansas basketball coaching staff has stepped up its interest in the shooting guard from Arlington, Florida.

At 6-foot-4, 190 pounds, Dort’s game is all about power. Wiseman calls him “bullish” and added

mances at recent practices. While the head coach said sophomore Willis and red-shirt junior Montell Cozart remain involved in a competition for the starting job, Beaty made it sound as if there will be no shortage of skill position players to help KU’s No. 1 QB this fall.

At running back, Beaty praised senior Ke’aun Kinner for looking like a different player from last season, sophomore Taylor Martin for his tough runs, junior Denzell Evans for his effectiveness in short-yardage situations and true freshman Khalil Herbert for his smarts and bursts of speed.

While Beaty said the only receiver who looks close to a lock as a starter is junior LaQuvionte Gonzalez, he couldn’t stop himself from mentioning a number of other passing targets who caught his eye: freshmen Keegan Brewer and Chase Harrell, sophomores Emmanuel Moore, Steven Sims Jr., Jeremiah Booker and Daylon Charlot (an Alabama transfer who will sit out this season) and senior Shakiem Barbel. that the development of his jump shot this summer should go a long way toward making him a complete player capable of competing at college basketball’s highest level.

“He’s so strong,” Wiseman told Smart. “He gets to the rim whenever he wants. He gets to the free throw line. He’s just able to manufacture points.”

As of today, Oklahoma, Baylor, Louisville and Oregon appear to be the stiffest competition for the Gators and Jayhawks in pursuit of Dort.

“Every day or two it seems like somebody else is saying, ‘Hey, this the type of kid we want to recruit. This is the caliber of kid we want offer,’” Wiseman said.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Hosmer tortures Tigers as KC sweeps STANDINGS

The Associated Press

American League

American League Royals 4, Tigers 1 Detroit — Eric Hosmer has been trying to find his way out of a long slump, and coming to Detroit may have done the trick.

A night after homering in a win over the Tigers, Hosmer spent most of Wednesday torturing the Comerica Park crowd.

He walked in the fifth inning to break up Anibal Sanchez’s perfect game, doubled in the seventh to end Sanchez’s no-hit bid, then hit a tie-breaking two-run homer in the ninth to lead the Kansas City Royals to a 4-1 victory over Detroit and a three-game sweep.

“I don’t think we’ve swept a series here in my career — we haven’t even won more than a couple,” he said. “I’ve been struggling for about a month now, but it has started to come around, and tonight felt really good.”

Sanchez threw seven shutout innings after allowing eight runs in four innings in his previous start. He struck out six and walked two Wednesday.

“That’s as good as I’ve ever seen Anibal Sanchez throw the ball,” Royals manager Ned Yost said.

“I had seen what he had done in his last start, but I know that when he’s on, he has ridiculous command of his fastball and a phenomenal changeup.

That’s what he had tonight.”

Sanchez agreed.

“Today, everything was coming out good,” he said. “I felt good all game, and I just wanted to keep the score at 1-0. I wasn’t thinking about the nohitter.”

The Tigers have lost eight of their last 10 games.

Justin Wilson replaced Sanchez for the eighth with a 1-0 lead and allowed a tying homer to Alex Gordon on his first pitch.

In the ninth, Shane Greene (2-3) allowed a one-out single to Lorenzo Cain before Hosmer’s line drive into the rightfield stands. Drew Butera added an RBI single later in the inning.

Matt Strahm (1-0) got his first career win with 1 2/3 scoreless innings of relief, and Kelvin Herrera pitched the ninth for his sixth save.

Victor Martinez gave the Tigers a 1-0 lead in the second with a homer over the 365-foot sign in right-center field. Detroit had 11 more baserunners, but hit into two double plays and stranded nine.

Red Sox 8, Orioles 1, 6 innings Baltimore — David Price allowed four hits before a rainstorm stopped play for good after six innings, and Boston beat Baltimore for its sixth straight victory.

Jackie Bradley Jr. homered and drove in four runs for the Red Sox. They swept the twogame series to climb past the Orioles into second place in the AL East.

Baltimore had been in first or second place since opening day. The Orioles’ 39-19 home record is the best in the AL, but they are 2-4 against Boston at Camden Yards.

White Sox 10, Indians 7 Cleveland — Adam Eaton’s ninth-inning grand slam off closer Cody Allen capped a five-run rally and lifted Chicago past Cleveland.

Cleveland was two outs from increasing its AL Central lead over second-place Detroit to seven games, but the White Sox rallied to break a seven-game losing streak against the Indians.

Allen (2-5) retired the first hitter, but Chicago loaded the bases on in-

field singles by Todd Frazier and J.B. Shuck, and a walk to Tim Anderson.

Dioner Navarro’s bloop hit down the left field line scored a run before Eaton homered to right on an 0-2 pitch for his first career grand slam.

Rangers 6, Athletics 2 Arlington, Texas — Yu Darvish struck out nine and Texas beat Oakland, giving the right-hander his first victory in his last 11 starts against the AL West-rival Athletics.

Darvish (4-3) had a demonstrative show of emotion, pumping his fist and letting out a shout, after striking out Coco Crisp to end the seventh inning. Darvish came back for the eighth, but was pulled after Danny Valencia’s leadoff double.

Rays 2, Padres 0 St. Petersburg, Fla. — Chris Archer struck out nine in 7 1/3 innings, Brad Miller homered again and Tampa Bay beat San Diego to complete a threegame sweep.

Archer (7-16) allowed four hits and a walk. He’s at risk of becoming the majors’ first 20-game loser since Detroit’s Mike Maroth (21) in 2003, but also leads the AL with 186 strikeouts.

OLYMPICS

Brazil soccer cruises into final Rio De Janeiro (ap) — Maybe Neymar and his teammates can make the Olympics a success for Brazil after all.

Brazil’s celebrated men’s soccer team rolled to a 6-0 win over Honduras in the semifinals Wednesday to earn a spot in the gold medal match.

In other action across the Rio Games, the United States men’s basketball team beat Argentina 105-78, Americans Kerri Walsh Jennings and April Ross won bronze in beach volleyball and the Jamaicans had a big night at the track with Elaine Thompson winning the women’s 200 meters and Usain Bolt cruising to a win in the semifinals of the men’s 200.

Brazil started the day 16th in the medal standings, with only three golds in the first 11 days.

Two of the country’s best chances remaining to reach the top of the podium competed on Wednesday. The men’s soccer team survived, but Agatha and Barbara lost in the beach volleyball gold medal match to Germany.

Empty seats have been prevalent across Rio, but not at the Maracana Stadium, where they packed in to watch Neymar and Co. They didn’t have to wait long, with Neymar scoring 15 seconds into the game. It was the fastest goal in men’s Olympic history, and Brazil led 3-0 going into halftime to cruise into the final.

“We don’t want to disappoint the fans,” Brazil midfielder Renato Augusto said. “They want us to play well and they want us to win the gold.”

Neymar added a goal on a penalty kick in stoppage time, and Gabriel Jesus also scored twice for Brazil, which got off to a slow start in the tournament. But the team picked up the pace and will face Germany, which beat Nigeria 2-0 in the other semifinal match.

Germany’s senior team trounced Brazil 7-1 in the semifinals of the World Cup in Rio two years ago.

“Hey Germany, just wait, your turn is coming up!” a fired-up fan base chanted.

Thailand’s Ariya Jutanugarn became the first 18-hole leader in the history of women’s golf in the Olympics. Jutanugarn shot 6-under 65 for a oneshot lead over seven-time major champion Inbee Park and Seiyoung Kim, both of South Korea. This is the first time for women’s golf in the Olympics since the Paris Games in 1900, and back then it was only a nine-hole competition.

Agatha and Barbara, the defending world champions, beat Americans Kerri Walsh Jennings and April Ross in the semifinals on Tuesday night to reach the finals. But Laura Ludwig and Kira Walkenhorst dispatched them 21-18, 21-14, leaving Neymar as Brazil’s only hope.

The improved play of the soccer team comes as welcome respites for the beleaguered Brazilians, who have seen the Rio Games deal with distraction, disorganization and tragedy for the last two weeks.

IOC member Patrick Hickey of Ireland stepped aside from his Olympic positions after being ar-

rested in a ticket scalping investigation.

Ireland’s national Olympic committee said Hickey is stepping down “until the matter is fully resolved.”

He is accused of plotting with at least nine others to sell Olympic tickets illegally.

Other highlights from Day 12: AMERICAN SWEEP: Brianna Rollins, Nia Ali and Kristi Castlin finished 1-2-3 in the 100-meter hurdles to give the United States its first sweep in the event, its seventh in the history of Olympic track and the 23rd for U.S. women, regardless of sport, over the history of the Summer Games.

THOMPSON’S TRIUMPH: After winning the 100 on Saturday, Thompson never gave Dutch sprinter Dafne Schippers a chance to catch her on the straightaway of the 200 meters. Thompson ended in a season’s best 21.78 seconds. Tori Bowie of the United States took bronze in 22.15.

BOLT’S BACK: Bolt got out quickly in his 200 semifinal heat and started to coast down the final 40 meters. Canadian Andre de Grasse nipped at his heels, and the two laughed as Bolt

Wednesday’s Scores

“

Why would anybody fabricate anything?

It’s just ridiculous.”

— Steve Lochte, father of U.S. Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte Lochte backed off some of his earlier claims. He now says the taxi wasn’t pulled over but that they were robbed after making a stop at a gas station.

He also said the assailant pointed a gun at him rather than putting it to his head.

The investigation intensified Wednesday as the swimmers started heading home to the U.S., and a Brazilian judge ordered the seizure of Lochte’s and Feigen’s passports.

The office of Judge Keyla Blanc said in a statement that there were discrepancies in Lochte’s and Feigen’s statements.

The U.S. Olympic Committee said police went to the athletes village to try to collect the passports, but the swim team had already moved out.

Lochte has already returned to the U.S., and Conger and Bentz boarded a plane later Wednesday only to be removed by the authorities. Feigen’s whereabouts are not known, though he told the San Antonio Express-News he was still in Brazil.

Steve Bentz, father of Gunnar Bentz, when reached by phone late Wednesday night, said:

“I really don’t want to say anything,” and hung up.

Lochte’s father, Steve Lochte, told The Associated Press by phone from his Florida home that his son called him Tuesday after arriving in the United States. The 32-yearold swimmer was going to pick up his car and buy a new wallet to replace the one that he said was stolen in the robbery.

“I’m just happy he’s safe,” the elder Lochte said. “It was an unfortunate experience for him and the other three.

I don’t know what all the controversy is. They were basically taken out of the taxi and robbed.

The main thing is he’s very lucky that he’s safe and that all they got was his cash and wallet.”

The elder Lochte said his son’s Olympic credential and cell phone weren’t taken during the incident early Sunday morning. He said he was sure Ryan had his passport or he would not have been allowed to board a plane.

Associated Press reporters waiting outside Lochte’s home in North Carolina did not see the 12-time medalist.

Lochte’s attorney, Jeff Ostrow, did not imme-

Swimmers detained amid robbery inquiry Rio De Janeiro (ap) — Two Olympic swimmers were taken off their flight from Brazil to the U.S. on Wednesday by local authorities amid an investigation into a reported robbery targeting Ryan Lochte and his teammates.

U.S. Olympic Committee spokesman Patrick Sandusky confirmed Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz were detained but had no other details.

Representatives from the U.S. consulate arrived at the airport shortly after the swimmers were held.

The action comes amid increasing tension between Brazilian authorities and the American swimmers over their account of the robbery.

Lochte said he was with Conger, Bentz and Jimmy Feigen when they were robbed at gunpoint in a taxi by men with a police badge as they returned to the athletes village from a party, several hours after the last Lochte Olympic swimming events were held Sunday.

Police have found little evidence so far to support their accounts, and say the swimmers were unable to provide key details in police interviews.

NBC reported Wednesday night that

diately return messages seeking comment.

A police official with knowledge of the investigation told the AP that police cannot find their taxi driver or witnesses from the robbery.

The group did not call police, authorities said, and officers began investigating once they saw media reports in which Lochte’s mother spoke about the robbery. Police interviewed Lochte and one other swimmer, who said they had been intoxicated and could not remember what type and color of taxi they rode in or where the robbery happened, the police official said. The swimmers also could not say what time the events occurred.

Ostrow has said there is no question the robbery occurred.

“Why would anybody fabricate anything?”

Steve Lochte said. “It’s just ridiculous.”

Lochte swam in two events at the Rio Games, winning gold in the 4x200meter freestyle relay.

Bentz, 21, and Conger, 20, also earned gold for swimming in the preliminary heats of the 4x200 relay.

Feigen, 26, received gold for swimming in the heats of the 4x100 free relay, which was won by the U.S. Lochte told USA Today that he and his teammates didn’t initially tell the U.S. Olympic officials about the robbery “because we were afraid we’d get in trouble.”
