HERE tenants still waiting to move in

PUBLISHED SINCE 1891

Prosecutor: Prison smuggling plot’s scope ‘alarming’ By Jim Suhr Associated Press

Kansas City, Mo. — A prison drug-smuggling scheme in which seven people are charged may involve more than 90 inmates, perhaps five dozen outsiders and a “significant number” of the lockup’s employees, according to a federal prosecutor in Kansas. Assistant U.S. AttorGiven the ney Erin evidence Tomasic told a judge we have at she assumes this time, more Leave n w o r t h the evidence D e t e n t i o n suggests that Center em- there were ployees may a significant be charged than the number of guard al- (prison) ready being employees prosecuted in the case involved.” that To- — Assistant U.S. Attorney masic said Erin Tomasic “keeps identifying — at an alarming rate actually — new targets.” Tomasic, according to transcripts from the July 21 hearing in Kansas City, Kan., did not quantify to U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson the number of workers under suspicion or indicate when new charges may come, citing ongoing evidencegathering efforts, including millions of prison emails. When asked by Robinson whether more employees would be charged, Tomasic nodded affirmatively.

WORK CONTINUES AT THE HERE APARTMENT COMPLEX ON THURSDAY. Lessees were told by HERE officials that the earliest they will be able to move in will be at noon today. BELOW: Plans call for a parking lot to be built near the northwest corner of Fambrough Drive and Mississippi Street to accommodate the HERE project. If approved, the project would rebuild the existing parking lot and also would raze the two-story home in the background to make way for additional parking.

For the second day in a row, soon-to-be residents of the HERE apartment complex waited in limbo after the site again failed to meet City of Lawrence safety codes required for an occupancy permit. When lessees arrived Wednesday, the complex was cordoned off with yellow construction tape. On Thursday afternoon, crews

Josh Zaff, a University of Kansas junior from Boston, was one of the many residents who showed up ready to move in Wednesday. After driving all day, Zaff had nowhere to go but a hotel. The experience has been a nightmare, said Zaff, who added he was lucky to find lodging at a hotel in Lawrence. “We drove halfway across the country,” Zaff said. “We were expecting to move in.” Lessees were provided free meals at The Oread hotel Wednesday and Thursday, and were told by on-site staff for HERE to save their receipts so that they could be reimbursed for hotel and other expenses. When hotel rooms in Lawrence were filled up, HERE bused people to hotels in the Kansas City area. For Mary McGill, who flew in from Chicago to help her daughter move into HERE, those expenses have also included having to reschedule her flight home. On Thursday, McGill sat in the lobby of The Oread, waiting on news. Despite the inconveniences, she said the staff at HERE have been helpful. “I do have to say, in their defense, they made a bad situation very accommodating to us, very pleasant,” McGill said. “… They’re saying that they are going to reimburse us for all our expenses, so I don’t know what more they can do.” The original move-in day provided to lessees was Aug. 7, and that date has since been pushed back multiple times. McGill said she has already received $500 of reimbursed rent from HERE due to those adjustments. Since arriving Wednesday, lessees’ belongings are being stored in The Oread’s ballroom, she said. The City of Lawrence has done inspections at the site twice daily since Monday, and the HERE site has continually failed to meet the health and safety code required to allow the building to be

violation, and Robinson this week said she plans to appoint an independent investigator to help her manage that complex matter. On Thursday, Robinson also ruled that videos of meeting rooms at Leavenworth Detention Center show privileged attorney-client communications and ordered the prison to turn the recordings over to the court, according to The Topeka Capital-Journal. Robinson also ordered the facility to turn over recordings of phone calls between inmates and attorneys, and told the U.S. Attorney’s Office to provide a list of anyone who accessed the recordings. The judge told the U.S. Attorney’s Office to retrieve any disseminated copies. Corrections Corporation of America has said such recordings are commonplace at U.S. deten-

opened. Some HERE lessees said that process wasn’t made clear. Dylan Wilken, KU sophomore from Chicago, said the first email he received that mentioned that the project was awaiting an occupancy permit was Wednesday. “It’s been very aggravating, to say the least, because it seems they were very dishonest with us,” Wilken said. “It felt like they knew we wouldn’t be able to move in, but they were still trying and telling us everything (Wednesday).” Despite the aggravation, Wilken, who has been staying at The Oread, said that the free food and promised hotel reimbursement “definitely made up for it.” Tax incentives provided by the city are one element that have brought attention to the project. 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. The $75 million apartment project includes 624 bedrooms and 13,500 square feet of commercial space. The approximately 30 community amenities listed on the complex’s website include a pool, game room, outdoor theater, coffee lounge and fitness center. Apartments themselves come furnished, and are said to have granite countertops, Smart TVs and stainless steel appliances. The complex has 23 floor plans that range from one to four bedrooms. When developers with the project were applying for tax incentives from the city, they said that a four-bedroom apartment would rent for more than $2,800 per month, while a onebedroom would go for nearly $1,200 per month. Another issue has been parking for the project, which is located in the Oread Neighborhood at 11th and Mississippi streets. Originally, the development was to have a robotic valet parking garage. Then, earlier this year, the company re-

tion sites, didn’t contain audio and were for the safety of inmates, attorneys and the Leavenworth facility. In announcing the original smuggling-related charges in April against seven people, then-U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said the scheme involved bringing contraband methamphetamines, synthetic marijuana and alcohol into the site, at times making the exchanges during drug-treatment programs and church services. Those charges offered a glimpse inside the Leavenworth lockup where Grissom said inmates talked of getting “blistered” — a slang term for high — on drugs and resembling “zombies.” The coveted contraband there was pricey, Grissom said, noting an inmate in one telephone conversation described how a pack of cigarettes fetched $150.

sponsible for producing that robotic system went bankrupt. Developers are now pursuing a plan to build a 68-space surface parking lot at 1029 Mississippi St. that would require a couple of houses to be bulldozed. HERE was scheduled to meet with Oread neighborhood residents and community members Thursday evening to discuss the parking proposal. That plan would need to be approved by the City Commission before going forward. The idea of leveling homes to build a parking lot is yet another element of the project that hasn’t gone over well with some neighbors, said Candice Davis, a member of the Oread Residents Association and chair of the Lawrence Association of Neighborhoods. Davis said parking in the neighborhood has long been an issue. “I’m guessing that there is not a whole lot anyone can do anymore about this,” Davis said. “The mistakes were made back with the other City Commission, and the idea of having that automated parking system.” Davis added that she hoped, at least, that the added need for parking may prompt further discussion of an on-street permit system for residents. Meanwhile, the soonto-be tenants at HERE continue to be just that. After inspectors with the city Thursday morning again found the site to be wanting, an email sent by HERE informed lessees that they would not be able to move in until noon today. As of the end of the day on Thursday, an occupancy permit had yet to be granted. City inspectors were anticipating being able to issue the permit Thursday evening if a shortlist of items were complete, said city spokeswoman Megan Gilliland. Gilliland said items on the shortlist included pedestrian barriers in “fall zones” and mechanisms that would stop upper-story windows from opening all the way. — City Hall reporter Rochelle Valverde can be reached at 832-6314.

As House races heat up, Dems vie for resources, leadership

“

The list (of targeted seats) still remains the list. Those were seats that were targeted based on what we had heard back from constituents in those areas.”

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

In February, as Kansas Democrats gathered for their annual Washington Days convention, House Minority Leader Tom Burroughs of Kansas City was already feeling optimistic about the 2016 elections. With poll numbers showing Republican Gov. Sam Brownback growing increasingly unpopular, and a large number of new candidates coming out of the woodwork to run against conservative incumbents, Burroughs told a luncheon gathering that Democrats planned to hone in on “eight to 10 targets,

— House Minority Leader Tom Burroughs

with an expectation that we will win five to seven.” He even went so far as to identify nine specific districts, including some where no Democrat had yet filed to run. At the time, that seemed overly optimistic to many observers, but not out of line for the kind of speech one expects to hear at a political party convention.

But in the wake of the Aug. 2 primaries, when more than a dozen sitting conservatives were ousted by more moderate Republicans, and many more now facing potentially tough general elections, some people are now saying Burroughs may have been too cautious in his estimate and that the number of Democratic gains in the

House could be even larger.

Growing field of targets University of Kansas political science professor Patrick Miller recently published a list identifying as many as 23 Republican House districts that could be in play come November, including all nine that Burroughs identified nearly six months ago. Burroughs, however, said his focus hasn’t changed much since making that speech in February. “The list still remains the list,” he said. “Those were seats that were targeted based on what we had heard back from constituents in those areas.”

Second ex-student suing KU says women were taught to be submissive

“

KU has an official policy and practice of entertaining football recruits in hotels just off campus and encouraging female KU athletes to attend parties with the recruits.”

By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

A second former student suing the University of Kansas is now claiming that the university’s “policies” teach female athletes to be submissive to male athletes. On Wednesday, Sarah McClure’s attorney, Dan Curry, filed an amended complaint in her lawsuit, which claims KU failed to follow Title IX requirements. Those requirements prohibit gender-based discrimination in education and requires universities to work to prevent sexual harassment and sexual violence. McClure’s amended complaint comes after another former student athlete suing the university, Daisy Tackett, who is also represented by Curry, filed an amend-

McClure

— Amended complaint filed in Sarah McClure’s lawsuit

ed complaint on Aug. 9, making similar allegations. McClure said she was sexually assaulted by a KU football player in August 2015. Tackett said she was sexually assaulted by the same man in fall 2014. Both women were KU rowers at the time of the incidents. The man was expelled from KU last spring. McClure’s amended complaint claims KU has an “official policy” requiring female rowers to attend university football games and cheer on players as they enter the field.

Even the rowers like McClure and Tackett “who had been sexually assaulted by a KU football player, were encouraged and expected to attend and root on the KU football players under KU’s policy,” the complaint says. “KU has an official policy and practice of entertaining football recruits in hotels just off campus and encouraging female KU athletes to attend parties with the recruits,” the lawsuit says. The Journal-World could not find specific policies similar to the

ones mentioned in the lawsuit. Curry did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment on where the policies mentioned in the complaints might be located. Tackett, McClure and their parents are also suing KU in Douglas County District Court claiming the university misled the public by presenting its campus as safe. The school has also asked for that lawsuit to be dismissed, a motion currently under consideration by Douglas County District Judge Kay Huff. The women are not suing the man they say assaulted them, and he has not been charged with any crimes. — Public safety reporter Conrad Swanson can be reached at 832-7284. Follow him on Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

As leader of the House Democratic caucus, it is largely Burroughs’ job to decide where to put the party’s limited campaign resources. He is in charge of the caucus’ official political action committee, Kansans for a Democratic House, which at last report had nearly $90,000 on hand going into the general election cycle. That’s more than double what the PAC had on hand going into the general election two years ago, but it’s still far short of the $147,000 that the Republican House Campaign Committee has to work with.

Remembering women’s first votes nearly a century later

hursday marked an important anniversary in American history. It was on Aug. 18, 1920, that the Tennessee Legislature voted narrowly to be the 36th state to ratify the 19th Amendment, thus putting universal women’s suffrage into the U.S. Constitution. In Kansas, of course, women had been voting for some time already. But that wasn’t the case in most other states, including Illinois, where my grandmother, just 19 years old at the time, witnessed this monumental change political culture first-hand during the fall elections of 1920, the first elections in which women had a

Races CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

But with the field of potentially winnable seats now expanding, competition within the party to get a share of those resources is heating up, along with allegations that Burroughs may not be completely objective in deciding which races to target.

Suspicions of bias Because of the longrunning rivalry within the party between Kansas City and Wichita — the two cities with the largest concentrations of Democratic voters — it is perhaps not surprising that many of the complaints are coming from Wichitaarea Democrats. Burroughs was elected leader after the 2014 elections, when Democrats lost five seats in the House, in a hard-fought competition with Wichita Rep. Jim Ward. He succeeded former Rep. Paul Davis of Lawrence who stepped down that year in an unsuccessful run for governor.

Votes

. Specifically, some Democrats are alleging that in choosing which districts to target, Burroughs is picking candidates who not only have a good shot at winning, but who also will support him in the next leadership elections in December, and who will vote in unison with him on controversial bills in the Legislature. One of those is Justin Kraemer of Wichita, who ran and lost in one of the few contested Democratic primaries Aug. 2. “I was certainly left under the impression that Mr. Burroughs was personally responsible for recruiting my primary opponent because of my unwillingness to follow House leadership on every single issue,” Kraemer said. Kraemer, a former TV news reporter in Wichita, filed on Friday, Feb. 26, the day before Burroughs gave his Washington Days luncheon speech. And he filed in the 98th District against incumbent Rep. Steve Anthimedes, one of the nine target districts that Burroughs identified in that speech. He spent the following

weeks and months campaigning in the district, and raising a significant amount of money. But he said one of his campaign themes was that he would be independent of party leadership. Then, more than two months later, another Democrat filed to run in that district, Haysville City Councilman Steven G. Crum, who had ran unsuccessfully against Anthimedes two years earlier. Crum confirmed that he initially did not plan to run again this year, but changed his mind after he was approached by Burroughs and his staff. According to campaign finance reports, Kraemer raised nearly $10,000 during the primary campaign while Crum raised less than $1,000. Nevertheless, Crum edged out Kraemer in the primary by 26 votes, 269-243.

Crum now goes into the general election with only a few hundred dollars in his campaign account against Anthimedes, who has more than $13,000 to spend. But Crum said he doesn’t think fundraising will be an issue because traditional Democratic donors will be more willing to contribute now that the primary is over. Kraemer, who had never run for public office before, didn’t blame Burroughs entirely for his loss, admitting that Crum had more name recognition and a large base of support from previous elections. But he did say that he thinks his pledge to be independent from party leadership was a motive for Burroughs’ office to recruit a primary opponent. “When we came into the race, I made it very

ing to vote individually. They wondered if they might get “hassled” or perhaps might run into some complication they wouldn’t understand. So they gathered.” “Toward the end of the afternoon they proceeded en masse to the polling place. I am not sure where it was located in Cantrall. The grade school? A church? The town jail? (Never used for jailing anyone, ever — but quite handy for miscellaneous gatherings, even wedding receptions!) They all voted with no problem. And thereby accomplished a shared goal. I have to admit my jaw dropped and

I said “Whaaaaaatttt???” when Mom told me this part. Using the force of their numbers these Irish Catholic women were able to accomplish this goal: they elect, for the very first time ever in their town, a Catholic man to be a member of the school board.” lll

There isn’t much left of Cantrall anymore. The coal mines shut down decades ago, and only about 140 people live there today. It does still have an elementary and middle school, though, and I would like to think it’s no longer considered revo-

L awrence J ournal -W orld clear that while I was certainly a Democrat, I was independent-minded, that my priority was to make votes that would benefit my constituents regardless of what leadership wanted,” he said. Burroughs, however, denied that he had any such motive. “Leadership races occur after the election. That doesn’t come into consideration,” he said. “My job is to protect our incumbents and to grow our caucus. That’s my focus. We will have that (leadership) discussion after the election.” He also denied that he was trying to block Kraemer when his staff recruited Crum for the race. “I don’t interfere with primary races. As a matter of fact, we stopped a few primary races (from occurring),” he said. “I think it sets a poor precedent. Don’t know where Crum got that information. We were recruiting statewide and we contacted a lot of former candidates. I don’t play in primaries.” But another Wichitaarea candidate said the complaints about Bur-

roughs came as no surprise to her. Elizabeth Bishop, who is running in the 88th District against Rep. Joe Scapa, who is widely considered the most vulnerable Republican House incumbent, said she has had several conversations with Burroughs and his staff, but she is neither asking for nor expecting any help from the leadership team. “I have the kind of assistance that I want and need,” she said. “I’m focusing on own race. I have a good campaign team and the best volunteers in the world.” Kansas Democrats will gather in Wichita this weekend for their annual mid-year Demofest convention where much of the focus will be on strategies for winning more legislative seats. It’s expected that’s where Burroughs will be lobbied hard by Democratic House candidates to share whatever wealth the party has in as many districts as possible.

have reacted to the news of a woman being a major party nominee for president. I suspect she would have been disappointed that it took so long. It’s also hard to imagine how any of those changes would have been possible if this country had continued to deny more than half of its citizens the right to be full participants in its democracy. And that’s something worth celebrating on the anniversary of universal women’s suffrage in America.

Theatre Lawrence mourns designer’s death By Joanna Hlavacek jhlavacek@ljworld.com

Jack H. Riegle, longtime Theatre Lawrence scenic designer and twotime Phoenix Award winner, “made his final exit from the stage” Monday, Theatre Lawrence announced earlier this week. He was 82. Riegle’s 30-year involvement with Theatre Lawrence began in 1986, when the Lawrence resident took on a volunteering gig on the theater’s

(it was then located in a repurposed old church at 1501 New Hampshire St.) production of “Fiddler on the Roof.” He continued his volunteer work long after retiring from the University of Kansas’ Riegle office of facilities and operations in 1997, later joining Theatre Lawrence staff as a

scenic designer and technical director. Riegle’s “creative and innovative” design approach extended to more than 100 Theatre Lawrence productions, ultimately garnering him a nod in Stage Directions Magazine and a 2005 Phoenix Award for his scenic artistry. In recent years, Riegle lent his knowledge of building, spatial relationships and theater interactions to much of the planning, design and building

process behind Theatre Lawrence’s current location at 4660 Bauer Farm Drive. Opening the brandnew, state-of-the-art facility in 2013 — and sharing it with his fellow community members and artists — was a source of great pride for the stage veteran, according to a news release from Theatre Lawrence. A celebration of life — with set design by none other than Riegle himself — will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 24, at Theatre Lawrence.

Details emerge on human trafficking charges By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

Tracy Releford, 50, was arrested Wednesday and charged Thursday in Douglas County District Court with three felony charges and a single misdemeanor charge related to allegations of human trafficking. Releford faces one felony count of aggravated human trafficking, one felony count of commercial sexual exploitation of a child, one felony count of promoting the sale of sexual relations and one misdemeanor count of buying sexual relations. Between Monday and Tuesday, Releford is accused of recruiting,

harboring, transporting, providing or obtaining a 16-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. He is also accused of offering sex acts from the same 16-year-old person to someone else. Within the same time span, Releford is also accused of “procuring” another person — who is not a minor — to perform sex acts on someone, the complaint says. And he is accused of buying sex acts from a person who is not a minor.

Releford appeared in court Thursday afternoon where he was formally charged and Judge James George set his bail at $350,000. Releford was convicted in 1991 of second-degree murder and armed criminal action, according to the Missouri Department of Corrections. Tracy Releford It was not immediately clear when Releford was released from prison, but he was still in prison in January 2013 when a Journal-World ar-

ticle was published about his son, Travis Releford, who played basketball for KU. In the article Travis Releford discussed his relationship with his father, who had been in prison for decades and had never attended one of his son’s basketball games. If Tracy Releford is convicted of the three felony charges he could face more than 67 years in prison. He faces up to a year in jail for the misdemeanor charge. He is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. — Public safety reporter Conrad Swanson can be reached at 832-7284. Follow him on Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

The Watkins Museum of History’s portion of the series returns to Lawrence this weekend, with a guided flashlight tour of the historic Oak Hill Cemetery kicking off the festivities tonight at 8 p.m. Meant to engage Lawrencians with our historically and politically significant past, this year’s programming celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area, and promises to be “bigger than ever,” at least according the Watkins Museum’s Facebook event page. Most of the action will take place Saturday, Watkins Museum education and programs coordinator Abby Magariel said, although the aforementioned Black Jack Battlefield programming began Sunday and has continued throughout the week. Lawrence is a town uniquely interested in its own history, Magariel explained — and for good reason. “Instead of giving up and instead of leaving the town behind, the community rebuilt itself,” she said, referring to the aftermath of Quantrill’s Raid, the tragic event that left approximately 200 dead and the town burnt to the ground in August of 1863. “We have the history of Lawrence as a post-Civil War town on the frontier where families continued to rebuild and continued to thrive, and we have the history of Lawrence as a growing university town where there was industry along with this focus on education.” It’s why, more than 100 years later, we still feel

But, while a fair chunk of the city’s populace might be aware of the basic facts surrounding Lawrence’s role in the Civil War, there are some aspects that may have gone untold in textbooks, Magariel said.

Tickets are $25, and can be reserved at www.watkinsmuseum. org or by calling 841-4109. “That’s a different history,” Magariel said. “A new part that (people) might not already know about.” Also new this year is “School of the Soldier,” an interactive activity designed to give kids a glimpse into the lives of young troops in the Civil War. Slated for Saturday at 1 p.m., the activity will take kids, ages 7 to 12, through activities resembling the Civil War version of modern basic training, said Will Hickox, assistant programs coordinator at the Watkins Museum. Hickox is leading Saturday’s one-hour program, which will guide child-adult pairs through enlistment (using reproduced 1860s-era documents), marching formations, drills and a “scouting mission” — basically, a scavenger hunt around the museum’s galleries — for the new “recruits.” By the program’s end, participants will have acquired enlistment bounty (play money), their official enlistment forms and mustering-out bounty upon discharging. Their reward for their service? Chocolate coins, though Hickox said there’ll be other options for those who don’t like chocolate. Tickets for the event are $5, and children must be accompanied by an adult. In-advance registration is encouraged. Many of the teenage soldiers who fought in the conflict were not much

older than the kids who will be participating in “School of the Soldier,” he pointed out. The U.S. had a long history, in its formative years, of enlisting boys — some, oftentimes orphans, were as young as 12 or so — to keep rhythm with the drum or bugle on the front lines. “During the war, this greatly expanded,” Hickox said. “They needed a lot of bodies, so they were more lax in their standards for recruitment,” with some recruiters bribing women to pose as mothers granting parental consent for these young men. Other times, it was the recruiter himself who would play the parental role and sign the necessary paperwork. Across the country, as many as 20 percent of all Civil War soldiers were younger than 18, it’s now estimated. It’s important, Hickox said, for today’s kids to understand the role young people have played throughout history, especially the Civil War. Magariel agrees. “Even though they’ve just lived a short time, their life is influenced by these things that came before them,” she said. “And we hope that by getting kids interested in history, that this will impact their lives to come, that they will be able to think in broader terms than just (their) own personal experience.” If we pay more attention to the actions of our country’s past, maybe “we can avoid making those mistakes again,” Magariel said.

BRIEFLY Shawnee County crash kills 4 Topeka (ap) — Authorities say three Topeka students are among four people killed in a crash in Shawnee County. The Kansas Highway Patrol told The Topeka Capital-Journal that the crash happened Thursday morning when the vehicles collided on U.S. 24. The patrol said in a release that three students at Silver Lake schools were killed in one car. The patrol identified them as 17-yearold Devin Greeve, a senior at Silver Lake High School; 11-year-old Gabby Greeve, a sixth-grader at Silver Lake Elementary, and 14-yearold Tyler Crouse, a freshman at Silver Lake High School. The patrol said they were all from Topeka. The patrol said 47-yearold Lance Lenard of Rossville also died in the collision, and a 13-yearold in the car with Lenard is hospitalized in stable condition.

Statue honors VP from Topeka Topeka (ap) — A bronze statue has been unveiled in Topeka of native son Charles Curtis, the first person of significant Native American descent to be-

come vice president, serving under Herbert Hoover. Mayor Larry Wolgast praised Curtis as “a significant Topekan” in dedicating the statue Wednesday, adding that he looks “forward to the opportunity for other, future generations to become acquainted and know the history that he was a part of,” The Topeka Capital-Journal reports. Curtis’s mother was a member of the Kaw Nation, and he spent many of his childhood years either in Topeka or with his grandparents on the Kaw Reservation.

KU Med-Salina nears funds goal Salina (ap) — A $7.5 million campaign to move the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Salina campus to downtown Salina in 2018 is 84 percent of the way to its fundraising goal. The Salina Regional Health Foundation announced Wednesday that more than $6.3 million has been raised in the Blueprint for Rural Health campaign, including a $2 million grant received last week, The Salina Journal reports. The grant came from the Dane G. Hansen Foundation, and is the campaign’s largest gift.

Ex-boss’ ‘multi-level marketing’ vexes student Dear Annie: I am a college student in my early 20s. While applying for an internship recently, I contacted a former employer, ‘‘Lauren,’’ to ask whether she would act as a reference on my application. This is a woman I genuinely like and respect, so I was excited when she said that she would be happy to do so and that we should meet to catch up over coffee. The trouble started when she later invited me to a ‘‘meeting’’ instead. I was aware that Lauren had recently become involved with a ‘‘multilevel marketing company’’ that sells ‘‘safe’’ and ‘‘natural’’ nutrition and beauty products. Even though this was not something I was interested in, I decided to go to the meeting to see her and see what it was

about. Although she was saving several seats, I was the only one of Lauren’s friends to show up. The meeting turned out to be fun and very convincing. I was careful not to commit to anything, but I expressed an interest in researching and trying the products and was invited to a product party. I was even privately considering becoming a consultant if I liked the products, and I suspect that Lauren

Bull riding gets slick Netflix series Imagine a sport packaged in eight-second bursts. Even Usain Bolt’s 100-yard dash took longer. Now streaming, the new six-part Netflix documentary series ‘‘Fearless’’ profiles the leading men of the Professional Bull Riders circuit and introduces viewers to the history, culture and personalities of rodeo’s most exciting, dangerous and popular event. Few sports come closer to the primal violence of the Roman arena. Every time a 140-pound r i d e r mounts a 1,500-pound bull for an eightsecond ride, he risks gruesome injury, paralysis and even death. When I first started writing this column, I liked including PBR events from the old TNN, The Nashville Network, in the listings. They represented a bit of American culture far from the entertainment centers of New York or Los Angeles. Many of the riders seemed barely older than the 4-H kids you might see standing next to their prized livestock at a county fair. The world of PBR profiled in ‘‘Fearless’’ seems a bit slicker. American PBR championships culminate in Las Vegas and come packaged with all of that city’s glitz. We also meet the new champions who have breathed vitality into the sport over the past few decades: bull riders from Brazil. While many Brazilian cowboys were raised in poverty and come to the United States for the prize money, Brazilian bull riding culture can more than hold its own. As one North American cowboy observes, the biggest American PBR events take place in 20,000seat stadiums. The Brazilian championship held in the cowboy town of Barretos unfolds before a crowd of 90,000 frenzied fans. In trying to capture the massive, sprawling, international PBR scene, the makers of ‘‘Fearless’’ may have lost their way. Nicely shot, the series unfolds in two- to three-second snippets, with one talking head making a grand observation, followed by a slow-motion shot of cowboy action, giving way to another talking head. The opening hour presents precious few bull riding events in their entirety. When we’re shown the first few seconds of one ride, the editors fast-forward to the end. As if we didn’t have the patience to watch for eight seconds straight. Tonight’s other highlights l Scheduled events at the Rio Olympics include: men’s handball semifinal (6:30 p.m., NBCSN); track and field, diving (7 p.m., NBC). l Teams from San Antonio, Texas, and Bowling Green, Kentucky, meet in the 2016 Little League World Series (7 p.m., ESPN). l Cameras capture predicaments on ‘‘What Would You Do?’’ (8 p.m., ABC).

and her friends could sense that. While driving home, however, I started to feel a little brainwashed. I am not against the products and might even like to purchase a few in the future, when I have a steady income and a regular routine. Unfortunately, Lauren seems more interested in recruiting me to the company than in selling me things. It has only happened two or three times, but I am running out of polite ways to deflect or decline. My question is: How do I say no to Lauren without upsetting her so that I will still be able to list her as a reference? Is that even possible? My past experience working for her (and therefore having a reference from her) is an important part of my

Club milestone The expansion of an after-school program in the Lawrence school district has been a win for everyone.

he Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence is to be commended for reaching a significant milestone. On Wednesday, the club launched a program at Sunset Hill Elementary School, the 15th and final Lawrence elementary school to have an on-campus Boys & Girls Club program. The Boys & Girls Club began offering an after-school program in Lawrence during the 1999-2000 school year at Cordley Elementary. That year, about 100 kids participated in the program. This year, the Boys & Girls Club expects to serve more than 1,600. At each campus, the Boys & Girls Club runs from the final bell until 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. The program provides a safe environment for If its past children to particitrack record pate in supervised activities.

Program features include a designated Power Hour for homework, Triple Play health and fitness activities and leadership and service-based learning strategies. The club’s partnership with the Lawrence school district extends to the curriculum, which is designed to align with the individual school’s curriculum. Each on-site program includes a fulltime area director, part-time site coordinator and up to a dozen part-time staff working directly with students. Though the club’s focus has been on elementary students, it also serves about 60 middle and high school students at its current Teen Center at 1520 Haskell Ave. The club is in the midst of raising money for a new $4.25 million Teen Center. Plans for the 22,000 square-foot facility include a teaching kitchen, music studio, art rooms, a full-size gymnasium and a large multipurpose area and game room. The club, which has already raised more than $2.3 million toward the new facility, hopes to open it late next year. If its past track record of successful expansion at the elementary level is any indication, the Boys & Girls Club will have no problem securing the funds needed to build the new teen center. The club has proved to be a valuable asset to the Lawrence community, particularly for its working parents and their children.

How to deter Russia and China Washington — The fight against the Islamic State may get the headlines. But it’s the military threats from Russia and China that most worry top Pentagon officials — and are driving a new arms race to deter these great-power rivals. This question of how to deal with Russian and Chinese military advances has gotten almost no attention in the 2016 presidential campaign. But it deserves a careful look. The programs begun in the waning days of the Obama administration could potentially change the face of warfare, in America’s favor, but they would require political support and new spending by the next president. A drive to build exotic conventional weapons may sound crazy in a world that already has too much military conflict. But advocates argue that strengthening U.S. conventional forces might be the only way to avoid escalation to nuclear weapons if war with Moscow or Beijing began. Deputy Defense Secretary Robert Work argued for the new deterrence strategy in a presentation this month to the bipartisan Aspen Strategy Group, amplifying comments he made to me in an interview in February. The approach, awkwardly named the “third offset strategy,” would leverage America’s technological superiority by creating new weapons that could complicate attack planning by an adversary. The premise is that as Russia and China modern-

“

Planners can no longer guarantee a president that the U.S. could prevail in the early days of a conventional conflict.” ize their militaries, America must exploit its lead in high-tech warfare. In the world envisioned by Pentagon planners, the U.S. could field an array of drones in the sky, unmanned submarines beneath the seas and advanced systems on the ground that could overwhelm an adversary’s battlemanagement networks. Like the two previous “offsets,” battlefield nuclear weapons in the 1950s and precise conventional weapons in the 1970s, this one would seek to restore lost U.S. military dominance. The concerns prompting the new strategy were previewed by Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, at his Senate confirmation hearing in July 2015: “If you want to talk about a nation that could pose an existential threat to the United States, I would have to point to Russia. And if you look at their behavior, it’s nothing short of alarming.”

China worries some Pentagon officials even more than Russia. A recent study by the Rand Corp., titled “War with China: Thinking Through the Unthinkable,” warned: “Improvements in Chinese military capabilities mean that a war would not necessarily go the way U.S. war planners plan it. Whereas a clear U.S. victory once seemed probable, it is increasingly likely that a conflict could involve inconclusive fighting with steep losses on both sides.” Top Pentagon officials say that because of Russian and Chinese advances, the U.S. military’s “overmatch” has diminished. Planners can no longer guarantee a president that the U.S. could prevail in the early days of a conventional conflict; they fear that the U.S. might lose “escalation dominance” — meaning, basically, the ability to call the shots — in a future confrontation. Deputy Secretary Work urged European allies in a speech in Brussels in April: “It’s time for another doctrinal and conceptual reawakening.” He argued that to cope with “an incredibly lethal modern battlefield,” the U.S. must maintain “a healthy margin of technological superiority, because an erosion ... might ultimately undermine our conventional deterrence, contribute to crisis instability, and greatly raise the potential cost of any future U.S. military operation.” A glimpse of what could lie ahead, if the next president continues the projects begun by the Obama Penta-

gon, came in a provocative 2014 study, “Toward a New Offset Strategy,” by Robert Martinage of the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments. Martinage recommended a dizzying new arsenal that would include: a new fleet of unmanned subs; a new array of undersea sensors; “seabed payload pods” that could hide drones underwater until they were needed in a conflict; electromagnetic rail guns and directed-energy weapons; high-energy lasers that could blind enemy sensors, and a range of other new technologies. “These initiatives would contribute to an effective offset strategy by affordably restoring U.S. power projection capability and capacity, bolstering conventional deterrence ... and imposing costs upon prospective adversaries,” Martinage wrote. Pentagon officials say they decided over the past year to reveal some formerly top-secret weapons programs because the disclosure would complicate Russian and Chinese military planning. But they say they have concealed other programs to preserve warfighting effectiveness in any future conflict. U.S. officials contend that this push to offset Russian and Chinese gains will have a stabilizing effect in greatpower relations, rather than a destabilizing one. But in an unsettled world, this issue deserves broader debate during the presidential campaign. — David Ignatius is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

To the editor: University of Kansas Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little recently presented The Science Coalition’s “Champion of Science” award to Congressman Kevin Yoder. This award recognizes members of Congress who have consistently made increased funding for scientific research a top priority. During the past six years, the congressman has done this in spades. Beginning in the Kansas Legislature, Yoder pushed for a dedicated state appropriation to the KU Cancer Center. As a freshman member of Congress, and with the entire Kansas delegation, Yoder tirelessly expressed support for KU’s National Cancer Institute (NCI) designation with senior NCI leadership. Recently, Yoder called for a $3 billion increase in FY17 NIH funding, and obtained more than 100 signatures from Republican members of Congress. Yoder has also called for doubling NIH’s annual budget to $60 billion within 10 years. Kansans and all Americans are fortunate to have Kevin Yoder at the front of the battle against cancer.

Rio police call Lochte liar, not victim Four U.S. swimmers had apparent run-in with security guard in gas station incident Alan Gomez and Taylor Barnes USA TODAY Sports

Rio police said Thursday that four U.S. Olympic swimmers who claimed they were robbed at gunpoint fabricated their story to cover up for a drunken night that ended with them vandalizing a gas station RIO DE JANEIRO

fusing week for the U.S. team and cast a pall over the final days of the 2016 Summer Olympics. What started as an apparent case of U.S. athletes falling victim to Rio’s notorious crime could end up leaving a black eye instead on the four American medalists. Early Sunday morning, Ryan Lochte, Gunnar Bentz, Jack Conger and Jimmy Feigen were riding home from a party at France House — a restaurant/bar set up for the Olympics — when they

After $140M lawsuit bodyslam, Gawker.com to gawk no more Roger Yu

@ByRogerYu USA TODAY

Gawker.com, the flagship blog of Gawker Media, will shut down next week after 14 years of operation, the latest fallout from the $140 million judgment from a lawsuit filed by former pro wrestler Hulk Hogan. The decision, reported by Gawker.com Thursday, came a day after Univision Communications agreed to buy Gawker Media’s assets — mostly its six other blogs — for $135 million in a bankruptcy auction Thursday. A bankruptcy court in New York, which had to review any deals for Gawker’s assets, considered Univision’s bid at a hearing Thursday afternoon and gave its approval. “Sadly, neither I nor Gawker.com, the buccaneering flagship of the group I built with my colleagues, are coming along for this

next stage,” founder Nick Denton wrote in a note to staffers. “Desirable though the other properties are, we have not been able to find a single media company or investor willing also to take on Gawker.com. The campaign being mounted against its editorial ethos and former writers has made it too risky. I can understand the caution.” Univision’s bid beat out Ziff Davis’ competing $131 million

bid. Gawker Media filed for bankruptcy protection in June after the jury’s decision. Denton, CEO and principal shareholder of Gawker Media, also subsequently filed for bankruptcy protection. The closure of Gawker.com, known for its snarky coverage of politicians, celebrities and media personalities, will be cheered by some of its critics as a swift comeuppance for a blog that not only didn’t pull punches but overextended them. Media ethicists, will interpret it as a chilling repercussion of the threats to the First Amendment posed by third-party-funded lawsuits. Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, sued Gawker Media this year after Gawker.com published in 2012 a video of him having sex with his former best friend’s wife. It was later revealed that his lawsuit was funded by Peter Thiel, a Silicon Valley billionaire who was the subject of a salacious article on Gawker.com.

WASHINGTON The Justice Department will end its use of private prisons, declaring that the facilities are less safe and “compare poorly” with governmentrun institutions in the country’s largest prison system. In a memo to the federal Bureau of Prisons on Thursday, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates directed officials to start the process of reducing and “ultimately ending” the government’s reliance on private lock-ups that at its peak in 2013 housed nearly 30,000 of the 220,000 inmates in custody at 13 privately run institutions. GETTY IMAGES “They simply Deputy AG do not provide the same level Sally Yates of correctional services, programs and resources,” Yates wrote. “They do not save substantially on costs; and as noted in a recent report by the department’s Office of Inspector General, they do not maintain the same level of safety and security.” This month, a review by the inspector general found that incidents involving inmate discipline; the recovery of contraband, including cellphones; and the frequency of facility lockdowns were more common in contract prisons than in government-run facilities. “For example, the contract prisons confiscated eight times as

La. flooding disaster is ‘epic,’ but few notice Politics, Olympics make ‘bad-timing’ for media coverage Ashley May and Mary Bowerman USA TODAY Network

At least 13 people are dead and 40,000 homes are damaged because of flooding in Louisiana – and the rest of the world isn’t really talking about it. Since rain hit the state’s south-

ern region last week, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have collectively issued no formal acknowledgements of the disaster, aside from a tweet. As of Thursday morning, the search term “Louisiana” wasn’t easy to find on Google Trends, sharing a spot at 31 beside news of President Obama’s vacation plans. Obama has yet to visit Louisiana, but members of his cabinet are on the ground. One of the state’s largest newspapers recently published an editorial asking

him to leave his vacation at Martha’s Vineyard and come help Americans struggling in the southern state. For comparison, Obama visited New Jersey two days after Hurricane Sandy touched down there. The Red Cross is calling the flooding in Louisiana the worst natural disaster since the superstorm. Red Cross spokesperson Craig Cooper said this “epic” disaster, expected to hit $30 million in disaster response, is struggling for national attention because it hit in the midst of the Olympics,

From the Red Cross’ perspective, the Louisiana floods are page one.” And it isn’t making the front pages for a reason, according to Susan Moeller, professor of media and international affairs at the University of Maryland, and director of the International Center for Media. The flooding is a classic case of a “bad-timing” for coverage, she said. “It’s a presidential election year, and the Olympics are ongoing. There’s very little oxygen in the newsroom for covering it.”

After 9 years, my daughter finds her voice Lauren Olsen USA TODAY

“Lauren talks too much,” said the note from my teacher on my second-grade report card. And third grade. And fourth. I couldn’t help it, really. It was in my genes. My parents, after all, had met decades earlier in the high school principal’s office after both getting in trouble for — you guessed it — talking too much. My daughter, Rachel, 9, started fourth grade this week, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that she’ll talk too much. Way, way too much. Sorry, teachers, but she’s worked too hard not to. For her entire life, Rachel has battled a significant speech delay. I first noticed it when she was almost 2 years old. A bright, cheerful toddler, she had quickly learned colors, shapes and numbers. But she never seemed to string words together. On the playground, Rachel would ask to play with a “ball,” but other kids her age wanted a “red ball.” By the time her vocabulary caught up to “red ball,” the other kids were asking for a “big red ball.”

2009 PHOTO BY LAUREN OLSEN, USA TODAY

Rachel, 2, loved flash cards but struggled to make sentences. The gap never seemed to close. Not knowing where to start, I called a county social worker who observed Rachel for an afternoon. She’s a little behind, the nice woman said, but she’ll grow out of it. I was relieved. By age 3, she still wasn’t stringing together sentences and almost never asked questions. The typical “Why? Why?” of a 3-

year-old wasn’t happening at my house. When she did ask questions, the words were out of order. You could see her frustration when Mommy didn’t understand what she was trying to say. Thinking it would help, I enrolled her in preschool. But her frustration grew worse in a noisy room full of children, and she went in and out of three preschools in one year. I tried several playgroups, with the same results. Our whole family felt frazzled. At age 31⁄2, a test showed she had the language skills of a 2year-old. She wasn’t “growing out of it.” We needed help. She soon began speech therapy at our local children’s hospital. Rachel’s therapists were amazing, teaching her, among other things, the nuanced art of conversation. Think for a moment how complex that is: the back-and-forth, knowing when it’s your turn to jump in, staying on topic, knowing when to change the topic, knowing when the conversation is done. Rachel often got frustrated but never gave up, plugging away week after week. Weeks turned into years, and she showed incredible improvement, learning to ask questions and to speak up for herself. At age 6, she got in trouble at

school when she yelled, “You’re going as slow as a snail!” at her first-grade teacher. I secretly cheered that she was “using her words,” even if technically they were the wrong ones. Despite all this, her scores on speech tests continually fell shy of the range for a “typical” child her age. It felt like she’d never catch up. Until now. After six years of hard work, her scores recently fell smack in the middle of the “typical” range. I had to blink twice when I saw them. Just like that, she was done. I can’t overstate what a huge achievement this is. Closing that persistent gap has changed the trajectory of Rachel’s life and our entire family’s. She can now express her thoughts, feelings and questions like never before. She can hold her own in conversations and, like a wonderfully typical kid, sometimes gets sassy. But mostly, she leaves me grinning from ear to ear at moments like this: “I love you, Rachel. You’re my sweet, sweet girl.” “I love you, too, Mommy. You’re my sweet, sweet adult.” She’s come so far, and it wasn’t easy. So go ahead, Rachel — gab it up at school. You’ve earned it. Olsen is a copy editor at USA TODAY.

many contraband cellphones on average as the BOP institutions,” the inspector general reported. “Contract prisons also had higher rates of assaults, both by inmates on other inmates and by inmates on staff.” The federal government began to rely on contract prisons to keep pace with a population that soared by nearly 800% from 1980 to 2013. The rate of increase during that time, Yates noted Thursday, accelerated faster than the BOP could manage. As the inmate population declines for the first time in decades, after adjustments in federal sentencing policies largely directed at non-violent drug offenders, Yates said the government is moving to end its dependence on contract detention. “I am directing that, as each contract reaches the end of its term, the bureau should either decline to renew that contract or substantially reduce its scope in a manner consistent with law and the overall decline of the bureau’s inmate population,” Yates wrote in her memo. The overall prison population stands at less than 195,000. By next spring, the Justice Department projected, less than 14,200 inmates would be held in contract prisons. Although Yates credited the

work of prison bureau personnel for making the transition possible, the federal prison system continues to struggle with staffing shortages. This year, USA TODAY reported that bureau officials had assigned prison medical personnel — nurses, physical therapists, pharmacists and others — to guard duty shifts to fill gaps in its security coverage. Former Democratic presiden-

tial candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., who have sought to ban all forms of contract prisons, said Thursday’s announcement was overdue. “It is an international embarrassment that we put more people behind bars than any other country on Earth,” Sanders said. “Due in large part to private prisons, incarceration has been a source of major profits to private corporations. ... We have got to end the private prison racket in America.” Grijalva seized on the use of contract prisons for holding undocumented immigrants He said substandard medical care has plagued such detention centers. “This isn’t simply unjust detainment,” Grijalva said, “this is the exploitation of human captivity.” David Fathi, director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s National Prison Project, described the Justice action as “groundbreaking.” “The Justice Department has made clear that the end of the Bureau of Prisons’ two-decade experiment with private prisons is finally in sight,” Fathi said. He urged states to follow the federal government’s lead. Corrections Corp. of America, a longtime contractor with the federal government, did not respond to requests for comment.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons will end its use of private prisons because of a population decline and security concerns.

Prison stock prices plunge at decision Alexandra Mosher USA TODAY

Private prison stocks fell sharply Thursday after the Department of Justice announced that it will reduce and ultimately end its use of private prison operators. Shares of Corrections Corp. of America dropped 37% to $17.02 a share. Shares for the GEO Group dropped 38% to $19.90 a share. Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates stated in a memo to the fed-

eral Bureau of Prisons that it should decline to renew contracts with private prisons or substantially lower its capacity. Yates stated that private prisons played an important role when the Bureau of Prisons could no longer accommodate the rising prison population, but prison populations are declining, and a recent report out of the Department’s Office of Inspector General showed private prisons do not maintain the same level of security and safety that the bureau provides.

Veloso said the swimmers continued being belligerent, prompting a security officer to show his gun. But he said no excessive force was used and there was no way the swimmers could have interpreted the situation as a robbery. Veloso also said two women were with the swimmers earlier in the night. “We started to understand the real dynamic of what happened,” he said. “This gives them some kind of motive” for the cover-up. By Wednesday, after hearing from witnesses and reviewing video surveillance footage of the evening, Brazilian Judge Keyla Blank ordered the swimmers not to leave the country and ordered their passports seized so they could be further questioned by investigators. In her decision, she questioned the gap of time between

She also said the swimmers did not appear to be shaken by the alleged crime. By the time of the order, Lochte was already back home in the USA. Conger and Bentz tried to board a plane home Wednesday night but were stopped by Brazilian officials. They spent the night in a Rio hotel and were taken for several hours of questioning Thursday at a Rio police station accompanied by an official from the U.S. consulate and swarmed

by dozens of Brazilian and international reporters. Late Thursday, the U.S. Olympic Committee said in a release that Conger and Bentz had been allowed to return home. The release also said Feigen had given a revised statement with the hope of being allowed to leave soon. “I’m just trying to give Brazil what they need or what they want and get out of here,” Feigen told USA TODAY Sports during a telephone interview late Wednesday. And back in the USA, Lochte was tweeting about how his bluegreen hair was returning to its

normal color. His attorney said Lochte stood by his account of the events. It remained unclear Thursday night whether the four would face criminal charges of filing a false police report or committing property damage. Veloso said they were trying to arrange an interview with Lochte through U.S. law enforcement officials. For now, Veloso said he was looking for an apology. “The apology should be to the carioca people who saw their image stained by a fantasy story,” Veloso said, using the term to describe citizens of Rio.

7 cop firings recommended in teen’s death Chicago Police Board to decide officers’ fate in McDonald killing Doug Stanglin @dstanglin USATODAY

Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said Thursday that he recommended the firing of seven police officers accused of filing false reports in the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager, Laquan McDonald, by a fellow officer two years ago. The recommendations go to the city’s Police Board for a final decision. In a statement to fellow officers, Johnson said that in calling for the seven dismissals, he was accepting the recommendation of the Office of Inspector General, which recently released its investigation of the case. The OIG had called for the firing or severe disciplining of 10 officers. “While I know that this type of action can come with many questions and varying opinions, please know that these decisions were not made lightly,” Johnson said. “Each of these decisions was based on a methodical and substantive review of the facts by both internal and external counsel. Each officer will have their right to due process.” He noted that two of the officers named in the report had retired. Regarding the 10th officer, the superintendent said he “respectfully disagrees” with the OIG findings and feels there is “insuf-

Officer Jason Van Dyke is charged with first-degree murder in the shooting of McDonald in 2014. Video released a year after the incident shows that McDonald, 17, who was shot 16 times at close range by Van Dyke, was not threatening the officer at the time. The reports of the 10 officers contradict the video.

After the police superintendent’s announcement Thursday, Mayor Rahm Emanuel expressed his support for what he called Johnson’s “thoughtful review” of the OIG report. “As the city takes these important steps to hold individuals accountable, we must also recommit ourselves to partnering together to rebuild trust between our police department and our residents,” the mayor said in a statement. “As Chicagoans who love this city, we must continue to work together to build that brighter tomorrow for everyone.” Contributing: Aamer Madhani

Authorities search the damaged building of the police headquarters after an explosion in Elazig, Turkey, on Thursday. 14 DEAD, MORE THAN 220 HURT IN TURKEY BOMBINGS

At least 14 people were killed and more than 220 were wounded in a series of attacks, including two car bombings that hit police stations. In the latest incident Thursday, Turkish media reported that Kurdish rebels detonated a roadside bomb in the southeast of the country, killing five soldiers, and a village guard was killed in clashes between government forces and rebels. A car bombing hit police headquarters in the eastern Turkish city of Elazig early Thursday, killing at least five people, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said, according to the Associated Press. A car bombing in Van province late Wednesday killed a police officer and two civilians and wounded at least 73 people, the AP reported. Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said the Kurdistan Workers’ Party is intent on causing Turkey harm. — Jane Onyanga-Omara CASH SHIPMENT TO IRAN TIED TO U.S. PRISONERS’ RELEASE

The State Department confirmed Thursday that a $400 million cash shipment to Iran in January was tied to the release of four American citizens who’d been detained in the country. Spokesman John Kirby said negotiations over the United States’ return of Iranian money

from a decades-old frozen account were conducted separately from talks to release the prisoners, but the United States withheld delivery of the cash as leverage until the U.S. citizens had left Iran. Both events happened Jan. 17. “Payment of the $400 million was not done until the prisoners were released,” Kirby said, according to an unofficial transcript. Though he refused to provide a “tick-tock” of the release of the money and the prisoners, “they came together near simultaneously,” Kirby said. “We retained maximum leverage until the Americans were released.” — Oren Dorell POLICE: TWO S.C.

Two North Charleston, S.C., teenagers are accused of shooting a man who helped them get their SUV out of a ditch.

Garrett told the teens he would help pull the SUV out of a roadside ditch for $20, the news station reported. After pulling the car from the ditch, Garrett asked the suspects for the agreed-upon money, and the 17-year-old allegedly pulled out a gun and fired multiple shots at Garrett, WCSC-TV reported. — Mary Bowerman

NEW YORK Four years ago, Jill Stein made a splash at the presidential debate at Hofstra University on Long Island. Not on stage, where the Green Party presidential candidate wasn’t permitted to participate, but outside, where she protested her exclusion and was arrested for disorderly conduct when she tried to enter the hall against a police officer’s orders. Now the first presidential debate is once again set for Hofstra, in less than six weeks. Will Stein be there again? “I will be there,” she told Capital Download on Thursday, saying she is “absolutely” ready to be arrested again. Last time, she and her running mate, Cheri Honkala, were handcuffed to metal chairs for eight hours, then released after the debate. This time, she hopes to have an ally on stage helping her get a formal invitation. Republican Donald Trump may find it in his political interests to avoid a oneon-one standoff with Democrat Hillary Clinton, perhaps by insisting the debates be opened to Stein and Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson. “We’re urging Donald Trump to follow in the footsteps of Ronald Reagan, do the Reaganesque thing, because Ronald Reagan agreed to debate John Anderson when Jimmy Carter actually refused,” Stein told USA TODAY’s weekly video newsmaker series. In 1980, Reagan insisted that Anderson, an independent candidate, be included in the debates. When President Carter refused, Reagan and Anderson held a debate of their own. (Near the end of the campaign, Carter and Reagan also debated.) “It was the Republican who stood up for basic

principles of democracy,” Stein said. She hasn’t gotten a response from the Trump or Clinton campaign to her open letter urging them to allow her and Johnson to join the debate. “A majority of voters are saying they really want other voices and other choices,” Stein said, noting that the Libertarian Party and the Green Party are on almost every state ballot. “Americans not only have a right to vote. We have a right to know who we can vote for.” Given voters’ dismay over their choice between the major-party nominees — Clinton and Trump each has a negative rating higher than any of their predecessors — common sense says this should be a banner year for third-party contenders such as Stein, a retired physician, and Johnson, the former Republican governor of New Mexico. They are doing better than they did as third-party nominees in 2012, when Johnson finished at 1% and Stein at less than one-half of 1%. But their standing of 10% for Johnson and 4% for Stein in a nationwide Pew Research Center Poll released Thursday is well short of the 15% set by the Com-

mission on Presidential Debates for participation, not to mention the support needed to garner electoral votes in November. Don’t count her out, Stein insisted. “We don’t have to split the vote; we could potentially flip the vote” by winning the support of the 43 million Americans who owe student loans. She would forgive the loans, part of what she calls the “true, progressive, radical policies of change.” She rejects the idea that Clinton would be preferable to Trump as president. “I will feel terrible if Donald gets elected, and I’ll also feel terrible if Hillary is elected,” she said. She denied any concern that she would peel away liberal votes and boost the billionaire businessman, even though Clinton’s policies are more in line with her views. Stein, 66, is convinced she’s gaining political traction. “There are a lot of unhappy campers out there,” she said. “Hillary was forced to take progressive positions because she was being challenged by Bernie Sanders, but once Bernie was out of the way, the door was really kind of closed on that chapter,” Stein said. “Hillary Clinton will be more of this Wall Street, neoliberal policies that have thrown working Americans under the bus. It’s not going to solve the crisis of Donald Trump.”

Flood displaces town’s residents Therese Apel

The Clarion-Ledger

The historic floods in Louisiana crept across the state line, devastating the small town of Crosby, Miss., and displacing roughly half of its residents. “We saw a lot of damage here, dealing with mostly homes and apartment complexes,” Crosby Police Chief LC Clark said. “They abandoned (the apartment complex). No one can live there. We had 24 families live there, so that’s going to be a problem. Plus, we had a lot of homes damaged also. “This just about wiped Crosby out,” as far as families’ homes, he said. Of the town’s approximately 350 residents, Clark said he believes 150 people, including children, have been displaced in the floodwaters. “We have a tremendous amount of flooding, similar to, but maybe not as high as in Baton Rouge,” Crosby Mayor William Hall said. “I guess, per capita, we’ve been affected as much.” Hall said many of the displaced residents have been staying at a shelter in Natchez since Friday night. It’s the second time Crosby has been impacted by floodwaters in two years, Clark said.

Harley settles on emissions for $15M Motorcycle company compromises with EPA over ‘super tuners’ Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

Harley-Davidson has agreed to pay a multimillion-dollar fine and fund environmental remediation efforts after allegedly selling aftermarket devices that allowed motorcyclists to cheat U.S. emissions standards. The Milwaukee-based manufacturer will pay a $12 million civil penalty and $3 million toward environmental efforts in a deal with the Environmental Protection Agency after the agency accused the company of selling about 340,000 “super tuners” that bolstered power but also raised harmful emissions.

SPENCER PLATT, GETTY IMAGES

The company agreed to offer to buy back all of the devices, cease selling the tuners and destroy them. Harley-Davidson shares dove more than 7% after the news was released but recovered, closing down 1.7% to $53.54. “Given Harley-Davidson’s prominence in the industry, this is a very significant step toward our goal of stopping the sale of illegal aftermarket defeat devices that cause harmful pollution on our roads and in our communities,” Assistant Attorney General John Cruden, head of the Justice Department’s Environment and Natural Resources Division, said in a statement. Harley said it sought to settle quickly rather than engage in a drawn-out fight. “This settlement is not an admission of liability but instead represents a good-faith compromise with the EPA on areas of law we interpret differently, particularly EPA’s assertion that it is illegal for anyone to modify a certified vehicle even if it will be used solely for off-road/ closed-course competition,” Ed Moreland, Harley-Davidson’s government affairs director, said in a statement. The super tuners allegedly violate U.S. regulators’ prohibition on “defeat devices,” which enable vehicles to spurn emissions standards. German automaker Volkswagen Group violated those same standards by installing software on 11 million diesel vehicles worldwide. Harley’s case involved aftermarket parts on a much smaller scale. Harley also sold more than 12,000 motorcycles without EPA pollution certification in model years 2006 through 2008, according to the agency. It must ensure that all future bikes will have secured necessary EPA approvals.

Uber customers in Pittsburgh in for a big surprise Brett Molina and Marco della Cava

@brettmolina23, @marcodellacava USA TODAY SAN FRANCISCO Uber customers in downtown Pittsburgh later this month will begin hopping into vehicles that can drive themselves to their destination. The ride-hailing giant, which has been valued at more than $60 billion, also said Thursday it was partnering with Swedish automaker Volvo on a $300 million joint project to develop self-driving vehicles. And it said it bought a start-up that’s working on selfdriving trucks. Uber has been testing a handful of tech-laden Volvo SUVs in

Pittsburgh, which is headquarters for the tech company’s nascent autonomous car research facility. Many of its staffers are former robotics experts from nearby Carnegie Mellon University, a self-driving car technology hotbed. Volvo so far has delivered a handful of vehicles with self-driving tech to Uber, which expects to have upward of 100 such Volvos deployed in Pittsburgh by the end of the year. The cars will be staffed with safety drivers, per current transportation laws. But the ultimate goal, often stated by Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, is to replace Uber drivers with autonomous vehicles, which will drive down the cost of each ride dramatically for consumers

JEFF CHIU, AP

Uber has teamed with Volvo to bring self-driving vehicles to downtown Pittsburgh.

while increasing revenue for Uber. Uber also announced it acquired start-up Otto, which is

working on self-driving trucks. Otto co-founder Anthony Levandowski will lead Uber’s combined self-driving initiatives. In an interview with USA TODAY, Kalanick said the idea with Otto is to provide owner-operator long-haul truckers with in-car tech that will “help them maximize their asset” by allowing the truck to operate 24 hours a day with autonomous spells during which the driver could sleep. Competition is heating up in the race to develop the first commercial autonomous car, which until recently existed only in the realm of sci-fi novels and films. Uber’s news comes just days after Ford held a news conference at its R&D facility in Palo Alto to announce its intention to build fully

autonomous cars by 2021, using a growing fleet of Ford Fusion Hybrids as test mules. Google also is on a seven-year quest to develop a fully autonomous car, which eventually would be built by an automotive manufacturer partner. Earlier this year, Google announced Chrysler would be providing 100 Pacifica minivans that would be equipped with Google’s self-driving tech. In a statement, Volvo said it would effectively be teaming with Uber to ensure that both companies accelerate the pace of their respective self-driving products. “Both Uber and Volvo will use the same base vehicle for the next stage of their own autonomous car strategies,” the Volvo statement reads.

Q: Is now the time to buy Walmart? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Walmart is showing it’s not ready to close up shop when it comes to competing with online retailers. It’s trying to jump-start growth. But the checkout line for the improvements could still be too long for most investors. The nation’s largest retailer has struggled to grow for years. Walmart’s revenue over the past 12 months contracted by 0.4%. There are signs of hope. Walmart on Thursday reported adjusted quarterly profit of $1.07 a

Here’s how America’s individual investors are performing based on data from SigFig online investment tracking service:

share, beating expectations by 4.9%. Revenue also essentially matched expectations at $119.4 billion. But growth continues to dog the company. Revenue rose just 0.06% from the same period a year ago. While profit beat expectations, it was still down 1% from a year ago. Investors are hopeful Walmart is turning the corner, as shares rose 1.9% to $74.30 a share Thursday. Shares have jumped 19% this year as investors think initiatives will kick in. Walmart said in early August it is buying online retailer Jet.com for $3.3 billion. But analysts think the reinvigoriation of Walmart will take time. Analysts rate the stock a “hold” and think the shares will be worth $69.79 in 18 months, below the current price.

Nintendo (NTDOY) was the most-bought stock in late July among SigFig investors with more than 80% in international holdings.

Walmart shares rise as earnings blow past estimates Charisse Jones @charissejones USA TODAY

At a time when many of its peers are struggling, Walmart on Thursday posted better-than-expected quarterly results and raised its guidance for the full year. The world’s biggest retailer, seeing the benefits of closure of some of its weaker stores and changes to its merchandise mix, reported net income rose to $3.8 billion, up 8.6% from $3.5 billion in the comparable quarter. Earnings of $1.21 per share blew past

estimates of $1.02, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Revenue of $120.9 billion in the second quarter surpassed analysts’ projection of $119.3 billion and represented a 0.5% uptick over that three-month period last year. Sales at stores open at least a year, a key measurement for retailers, were also up 1.6%, the eighth quarter in a row of growth. Walmart’s results came the day after its retail rival Target reported a 9.7% plunge in earnings and said it was reducing its sales estimate for the remainder of the year. Investors greeted Walmart’s earnings news with a boost to the

SAUL LOEB, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

stock, which closed up 1.9% or $1.37 to $74.30. Walmart, the world’s largest retailer, appeared to take the financial results as proof that its decision to focus on its online business, including the $3 billion

purchase of e-commerce site Jet .com announced last week, is the right path. It boosted its full-year guidance to between $4.15 and $4.35 per share, compared with its previous forecast, which fell between $4 and $4.30. “We remain focused on building e-commerce capabilities globally,” CEO Doug McMillon said in a statement. “Walmart is uniquely positioned to provide customers with a seamless shopping experience where we save them time and money.” As to why its sales increased when so many of its competitors faltered in the last quarter, Walmart’s U.S. CEO, Greg Foran, says

it’s the cumulative result of factors such as improved grocery options, tidier stores, better customer service and discounts. “It’s not one thing,’’ Foran said in a call with reporters Thursday. “What happens, as all these things come together, you gradually start to do a little better.’’ The retailer has been making aggressive moves to bolster its online business and super centers. It’s filling store aisles with attractive displays of organic fruits, gourmet cheeses and other fresh products to snatch shoppers who’d more typically head to chains such as Wegman’s or Whole Foods.

1 hour, 34 minutes

RUMOR PATROL Fans of ‘Inside Amy Schumer’ can rest easy. After stirring speculation that her Comedy Central series wouldn’t be back for another season, the comedian clarified on Twitter Thursday that the show is merely going on hiatus as she pursues other projects and goes on tour. “We are slated for a Season 5,” she reassured fans, “but not in the foreseeable future.” Schumer is in the midst of a book tour in support of her memoir, ‘The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo,’ released this week. She also just wrapped shooting her still-untitled follow-up to last year’s ‘Trainwreck’ with Goldie Hawn and will launch a stand-up tour later this month.

Zoe Saldana looked gorgeous in gold at a red-carpet event Thursday for ‘Star Trek Beyond’ in Beijing on the eve of the film’s premiere in China.

Soulful, coming-of-age ‘Kubo’ takes animation to new heights The kid heroes of Laika animation studio’s movies always stand strong against whatever weirdness they encounter — a feral boy vs. a cheese-loving wacko in The BoxMOVIE trolls or a little girl REVIEW dealing with a horriBRIAN fying parallel landTRUITT scape in Coraline. Wielding a magical musical instrument, the oneeyed title character of the superb Kubo and the Two Strings (eeeg out of four; rated PG; in theaters Friday) has arguably the biggest adventure of them all. The new stop-motion animated film is an artsy introduction for kids to the kung fu movie: In a gorgeously realized Asian-inspired world, Kubo (voiced by Art Parkinson) battles flying-fish beasts, a ginormous skeleton (naturally housed in the Hall of Bones) and an underwater garden of eyeballs on stalks. Even with all that strangeness, Kubo checks in as the most conventional project in Laika’s filmography, a slate of family fare that is consistently top-notch and winningly oddball. It’s also the most universally relatable of the bunch: The movie’s main youngster is forced to deal with large creatures, sure, but also a dysfunctional family history that turns his everyday life into complete, mythologically charged chaos. When the Japanese boy is not entertaining neighbors with his gift for great tunes and otherworldly origami skills, Kubo takes care of his mother in a mountaintop abode as she sits there, mostly in an unmoving and seemingly vegetative state. He never knew his samurai father, who sacrificed himself to save Kubo from his

LAIKA/FOCUS FEATURES

Kubo (voiced by Art Parkinson) embarks on an epic adventure. grandfather, the evil Raiden the Moon King (Ralph Fiennes). Kubo yearns to find his father’s mythical suit of armor, a quest that becomes even more pressing when the village is attacked by his two ghostly aunts (voiced by Rooney Mara). He wakes up in the aftermath with two new partners: a wise and cantankerous Monkey (Charlize Theron) and slightly dimwitted macho warrior Beetle (Matthew McConaughey), who teach him new abilities and ways to master his existing powers to prep for Raiden’s return. Debut director Travis Knight, the lead animator on Laika’s prior films, puts together the most original, well-crafted animated film so far in 2016. It’s a personal and somewhat tragic fable, and the script by Marc Haimes and Chris Butler truly invests the audience in Kubo’s well-being. But Kubo also manages to have a great sense of humor, especially with the bickering relationship

among the core trio as they travel over land and sea. Facing down the skeleton monster, Beetle tosses out the superhero-ready oneliner “I’ve got a bone to pick with you,” leading Monkey to chime in, “You’re an embarrassment.” Considering the setting, there is a surprising and disheartening lack of Asian voice actors in the main cast — George Takei and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa star as two villagers, but neither is a substantial role. That said, one can’t complain about Theron’s winning combo of deadpan style and maternal nature for Monkey or McConaughey pretty much being McConaughey in his first animated role as Beetle. (You don’t have to wait long for the second: He’s a panda in December’s Sing.) It is definitely the summer for talking animals taking over the cinema, but Kubo manages to rise above the rest of its peers with a wondrous coming-of-age tale full of ancient soul.

normally wouldn’t recommend traveling to Thailand via a Topeka connection. But this may be the exception, and, no, it doesn’t involve an 82-hour layover and a crop duster from Forbes Field. A longtime Topeka restaurant duo is opening a new Thai restaurant in Lawrence that they promise will give you a real taste of the Far East cuisine. Chira and K.C. Piyassaphan are keeping the name of their new Lawrence restaurant simple: Thai Diner. It will be located in the Louisiana

Town Talk

Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Purchase shopping center at 23rd and Louisiana, in the spot that used to house DonDon, the Japanese noodle restaurant. “It is not a franchise at all,” Chira said. “We’re a husband and wife team. It is not just a way to make money for us. It really is a way of life for us.” The couple owned and operated Tuptim Thai Restaurant in Topeka for a dozen years, and Chira said she grew up in the restaurant business and has worked actively in it for at least 20 years. The family got out of the Topeka restaurant in May 2015, and began looking for an opportunity to move closer to their daughter, who is a

now a med student at KU. The restaurant likely is still a few weeks away from opening, but the sign for the establishment is up, and construction work is underway to renovate the relatively small space that DonDon occupied for a number of years before the owner of that restaurant retired this summer. “I want people to feel like this is their little place that they can come to and be comfortable,” Chira said. As for the food, Chira didn’t have a menu to share with me yet. That’s in part because a large part of the menu will be on a chalkboard that hangs in the dining room. Chira calls it the “Chef’s Selection” board, and it will change often as certain ingredients come in and out of season and as Chira’s creative mood changes. But there also will be certain dishes that customers can count on seeing on a regular basis. Pad Thai, Panang curry, and pineapple fried rice are a few of the classic dishes that Chira said are expected to be part of the regular menu. “But I really want to offer several dishes that are little more modern,” Chira said. She said she hopes the restaurant will change some attitudes about what Thai cuisine is all about. The Americanized version of Thai food often is associated with a lot of spicy dishes. “That’s really more of a myth,” she said. “Thai food doesn’t have to be spicy. It can be as mild as you want it to be. The real thing with Thai food is lots of fresh herbs and spices. We have a lot of grilled dishes. I tell people Thai food offers a

THAI DINER will be located at 23rd and Louisiana streets, while Szechuan House Chinese Cuisine will be at 1500 W. Sixth St. lot more variety than Chinese food.” l Those may be fighting words for a new Chinese restaurant that is set to open in Lawrence. (For some reason I envision a new Food Network show called Cuisine Cage Matches, and cannons filled with grains of fried rice. To be fair, though, most of my visions involve fried rice.) Regardless, I have a bit of news to pass along about a new Chinese restaurant. A restaurant called Szechuan House Chinese Cuisine is preparing to open along Sixth Street in the former home of Panda Garden, which closed after its owners retired earlier this year. The sign is up for the

new restaurant, but it is not yet open. I stopped by the site, 1500 W. Sixth, and talked to a construction worker, but I wasn’t able to connect with the owner or operator. Based on the amount of renovation work that was underway, it looked to me like the restaurant was still at least a couple of weeks away from opening. As far as what the restaurant will be like, I don’t

have much there. I typed “Szechuan House Chinese Restaurant” into Google, and the robots laughed at me and said, “Dude, there are a thousand places named Szechuan House Chinese Restaurant.” But I’ll let you know if I hear more. — This is an excerpt from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column, which appears each weekday on LJWorld.com.

depths of the housing crash that triggered the Great Recession nearly nine years ago. Mortgage rates at historic lows and a strong job market have bolstered real estate this year. Sales of new homes are at their strongest pace since early 2008. And existing homes are selling at their best rate since early 2007 as more buyers are finalizing deals despite the lack of available homes for sale. Homebuilders appear optimistic that sales will continue to rise. The National Association of Home Builders/ Wells Fargo builder sentiment index released last week rose two points to 60 following a downwardly revised reading of 58 in July. Readings above 50 indicate more builders view sales conditions as good rather than poor.

chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, expects permits to increase in response to the gains in housing starts. “The gap between the sales and permits numbers is not unprecedented, but it is wide, and we have to expect permits to rebound strongly in the near future,” Shepherdson said. For now, more Americans are upgrading to newly built singlefamily houses. Ground breakings for houses have shot up 10.6 percent year-to-date, while starts for apartment buildings have dipped after a torrid pace in recent years to accommodate an increase in renters. Housing starts remain below their recent 25-year average of roughly 1.3 million, even after having rebounded from the

Washington — Apartment construction in the Northeast fueled a jump in home building in July as the pace of housing starts nationwide reached the strongest pace in six months. The rate of overall construction rose 2.1 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.21 million from 1.19 million in June, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. That was the highest level since February. Most of the gain came from an 8.3 percent acceleration in the construction of multifamily buildings. Construction of single-family houses edged up just 0.3 percent. “Continued recovery in housing will be supported by historically low mortgage rates, coupled with a firming labor market that has begun to spur on wage gains for workers,” said Neil Shankar, an economist at TD Bank. C o n s t r u c t i o n climbed 15.3 percent in the Northeast. The Midwest and South reported smaller gains, while starts slipped in the West. Still, future gains may be limited because current housing starts are outpacing permits to build in the future. Authorized permits slipped 0.1 percent in July to an annual rate of 1.15 million. Ian Shepherdson,

Continued recovery in housing will be supported by historically low mortgage rates, coupled with a firming labor market that has begun to spur on wage gains for workers.”
