Judge lets voting lawsuit continue

Recent changes in practice A $78 million annual increase proposed by Westar Energy is still under consideration by the Kansas Corporation Commission, Westar spokeswoman Gina Penzig said. The KCC has until Oct. 28 to make a decision on the matter. If approved, the increase will result in a $5 to $7 monthly increase per household, on average, Penzig said. If approved, the new rates will become effective Nov. 1.

Average households using 4,000 gallons of water a month will see a monthly rate increase of $3.64 on their bill, Kidney said. The monthly increase equates to $43.68 a year.

But Kansas court won’t block Kobach from enforcing law

Now that state and local governments know what their budgets for 2016 will look like, we have a clearer picture of what is going to cost more. Here’s a look at where a few pennies or dollars may start showing up in your expenses:

By John Hanna Associated Press

SALES TAX

Topeka — A Kansas judge is allowing two voters to continue pursuing a lawsuit challenging how Secretary of State Kris Kobach is enTweet forcing a proof-of-citizentussle ship requirement for registering to vote. But Shawnee County District Court Judge Franklin Theis isn’t blocking Kobach from enforcing the requirement as he has for more than a year. Kobach told county election officials in June 2014 that the relative handful of people who use Kobach traded a federal form to register barbs with to vote are eligible to cast Hillary Clinton ballots only in presidential, over Twitter on U.S. Senate and congressio- Wednesday. 3A nal races, not state and local ones. Kobach is the architect of the state’s proofof-citizenship law, which took effect in 2013

Kansas’ sales tax was raised by .15 percent, effective July 1. Both the City of Lawrence and Douglas County kept local sales tax rates constant, said City of Lawrence finance director Bryan Kidney. After the increase, the current sales tax rate is 9.05 percent. To put the increase in perspective, if you spend $100 per week on groceries, you’ll spend an extra $7.80 for the year on sales taxes for those purchases. Or, if you’re thinking bigger, you’ll spend an extra $30 on a new $20,000 car. Combined property taxes for 2015 levied a total of 129.736 mills among the City of Lawrence (31.474), Douglas County (41.01), the state of Kansas (1.5) and the Lawrence School District (55.752), Kidney said. Taxes are assessed on 11.5 percent of a home’s assessed property value, and each mill is equivalent to $1 for every thousand dollars of that value. For 2016, the school district raised its mill levy by 1.602 mills. All other mill levies remained constant. A home worth $150,000 would be responsible for $27.63 more each year for the increase, which will begin in November. A home worth $200,000 will pay an additional $36.84.

Interim city manager won’t apply for job

his news just in from Lawrence City Hall: Interim City Manager Diane Stoddard won’t be a candidate for the open city manager’s position in Lawrence. Stoddard sent out a message to employees updating them on several City Hall matters. In that message she said “after significant reflection and discussions with my family, I have decided that the timing now isn’t right for me personally to apply for the position.” Stoddard Stoddard, though, said she does intend to remain as an assistant city manager upon the hiring of a new city manager.

Adding to a sense of “helplessness,” Stinson said, experts and scholars can’t even fully assess the remains at Palmyra, as well as other cultural sites the group, also known as ISIS, has destroyed. “The professional organizations in the archaeological community have, I would say, not been able to do very much so far, mainly because we don’t have access to those sites,” Stinson said. “They’re just too dangerous to go to right now. We can’t even explore the extent of the damage.”

and requires people registering in Kansas for the first time or after living in another state to provide a birth certificate, passport or other documentation of U.S. citizenship. The federal registration form requires only that people affirm that they are citizens, without requiring additional papers. Theis last week rejected Kobach’s request to have the case decided in his favor before a trial, and the judge said in his 67-page order that the secretary of state is exceeding his authority by “proclaiming” a policy “which does not exist” in state law — and contradicts other statutes. The American Civil Liberties Union filed the lawsuit in 2013 on behalf of voters Aaron Belenky of Overland Park and Scott Jones of Lawrence, as well as Equality Kansas, the state’s leading gay-rights group. “Quite a few of the comments were encouraging,” Julie Eberstein, attorney for the ACLU’s Voting Rights Project. “The judge recognized some of the shortcomings of Kobach’s interpretation of the law.” Theis granted Kobach’s request to dismiss Equality Kansas from the lawsuit, agreeing that the group had no standing to sue. Kobach declined to respond to Theis’ comments because the case is ongoing. But Kobach said the ruling is “very early” in the case. “We’re still, I think, a ways from a final decision,” he said. Kobach championed the proof-of-citizenship requirement as a way to prevent non-citizens from voting, particularly immigrants in the U.S.

“

Quite a few of the comments were encouraging. The judge recognized some of the shortcomings of Kobach’s interpretation of the law.” — Julie Eberstein, attorney for the ACLU’s Voting Rights Project illegally. Critics contend the requirement suppresses turnout, with nearly 32,000 registrations suspended as of Wednesday because the prospective voters haven’t documented their citizenship. Belenky’s and Jones’ registrations were suspended for months in 2013 and 2014 for the same reason, but both men separately provided passports when obtaining driver’s licenses. Kobach’s office checked for such records last year — with the lawsuit pending — and had local election officials update their voter registration records for them. Kobach then argued that the lawsuit should be decided in his favor because the issues causing Belenky and Jones to sue were resolved for them. But Theis compared Kobach’s actions to supporters of a runner’s opponent dragging the runner across the finish line to ensure his disqualification. Theis also said Kansas law requires a “unified” ballot that includes all races, so that voters who registered with a federal form now have their ballots set aside and examined later — potentially invading their privacy. The judge said the Legislature could have specifically authorized a dual voter registration system in 2014 or earlier this year but did not.

County strikes partnership deal on Hamm Landfill access road By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @conrad_swanson

Douglas and Jefferson counties will soon partner up to straighten and repair a public access road to Hamm Landfill, 16984 Third St., which is used by both counties and the general public. Douglas County Commissioners approved the partnership at their weekly meeting Wednesday afternoon. The access road off Kansas Highway 24, north of Lawrence, is decades old and long overdue for an overhaul, said Douglas County Director of Public Works Keith Browning.

Money for the project, which will cost an estimated $400,000, will come from the Landfill Road Maintenance Fund, Browning said. That fund currently holds more than $516,000. Now that the partnership was approved by commissioners, the counties can hire an engineer to develop plans before putting the construction work out to bid, Browning said. Work will likely not begin until 2016. Douglas County Commissioners meet at 4 p.m. each Wednesday at the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St. The meetings are open to the public.

Kansas ACT scores top national average Topeka (ap) — Kansas high school students are scoring better on average than their peers nationally on the ACT college entrance exam and a higher percentage appear ready for college courses, though figures released Wednesday show their average scores haven’t changed much in recent years. The State Department of Education noted that ACT, based in Iowa City, Iowa, said 32 percent of the state’s 2015 high school graduates taking the test met all benchmarks for college readiness — up from 28 percent for 2011 graduates and better than the national figure of 28 percent for 2015. “We’re optimis-

tic,” said department spokeswoman Denise Kahler. “We think there’s a lot of good growth to come.” ACT released figures for students graduating in 2015, whether they took the test during their sophomore, junior or senior years. About 23,700 of the state’s graduates, or 74 percent, took the test, compared with the national average of 59 percent. The average composite score this year for Kansas was 21.9 on a 36-point scale, compared with the national average of 21. It was 22 for Kansas graduates in both 2011 and 2014. The state’s average composite score for this year was 21st in the

nation, and the average scores for math, reading, English and science were either 21st or 22nd. ACT expressed concern that students’ average scores nationally haven’t improved significantly in recent years. But Kahler noted that more students are taking the test, 1.9 million for this year’s senior class, compared with 1.6 million for 2011 graduates. Kansas Education Commissioner Randy Watson said the ACT test is only “one snapshot” of whether students are ready and that schools also must develop “soft skills” such as persistence and conscientiousness.

KCC: 81 percent pick raises over civil service system Topeka (ap) — The Kansas Corporation Commission said 81 percent of its classified workers have chosen to leave the state’s civil service system in exchange for a pay raise. The commission, which regulates utilities, said 76 of the agency’s 94 classified employees chose a 7.5 percent salary increase to leave the civil service system, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported. The agency, which has about 200 employees, said it approved raises for all the workers who wanted one. Lawmakers passed a law this spring that requires state workers to move out of the classified system when they accept pay raises or promotions. The raises also required approval from Gov. Sam Brownback’s office. Rebecca Proctor, director of the Kansas Organization of State Employees, City Hall who will apply for the position, so I don’t want to discount their chances. There also are a number of people who previously have worked at Lawrence City Hall who have gone on to leadership positions in other cities. One of them may return. The past two city managers in Lawrence were promoted from inside City Hall. When Buford Watson died while serving as city manager, Mike Wildgen — his assistant — was promoted to the top job. When Wildgen resigned after a long tenure, Corliss — one of Wildgen’s assistants — was promoted. So, it has been a while since a true outsider has taken the reins of City Hall’s top administrative post. The odds of that happening seem a bit greater now. — This is an excerpt from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column, which appears each weekday at LJWorld.com.

“

The high number of people taking this pay increase shows you how much these people need that money to keep up with expenses.” — Rebecca Proctor, director of the Kansas Organization of State Employees said the high percentage of workers accepting the offer proves that many state workers face financial problems. “State employees have gone a very, very long time without a pay increase. And the high number of people taking this pay increase shows you how much these people need that money to keep up with expenses,” Proctor said. The new law changed the Kansas Civil Service

Act so that all newly hired employees, workers promoted or demoted, as well as workers voluntarily transferred, would be placed in the unclassified system. The change applied to most major state agencies, including the commission. Supporters of the change said it would put state agencies more in line with practices in private industry and give agencies more flexibility to fulfill their missions and staffing needs. Kansas has about 13,000 civil service employees, who enjoy more job protections than other workers. Opponents say the change was intended to remove those job protections from state employees. The Kansas Corporation Commission, which has an annual budget of about $20 million, doesn’t receive any revenue from the state’s general fund.

Brownback to hold town hall meeting in Leavenworth to air Gitmo concerns

ov. Sam Brownback announced Wednesday that he will hold a town hall meeting Thursday, Sept. 3, in Leavenworth to air concerns about a possible transfer of prisoners from Guantanamo Bay to Fort Leavenworth. That announcement was the third statement Brownback has made in recent days on the subject. On Aug. 20, the governor announced that he had spoken with Deputy Defense Secretary Robert O. Work opposing any attempt to move the prisoners to Kansas. And Tuesday, he signed a joint statement with South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, also a Republican, pledging that they â&#x20AC;&#x153;will not be part of any illegal and ill-advised action by the Administration, especially when that action relates to importing terrorists into our states.â&#x20AC;? Brownback followed that up with a pre-recorded audio statement delivered to news outlets saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;To even discuss bringing those prisoners to the United States is an insult to those who perished in the Sept. 11 (2001) attacks and to those whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve served in Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s war on terror.â&#x20AC;?

Heartland’s funds were awarded based on performance in several categories. l $15,000 for reporting on patients using electronic health records. Heartland uses the records to do more than track patient care. “Our electronic health records help us look at statistics to find out how we’re doing, where we can make improvements,” Hatch said. “It’s more than just the fact that we keep electronic health records, it’s the way we use them.” l $13,036 for demonstrating improvements in one or more clinical areas.

“

(This award) shows that we’ve become more effective in our care coordination.” — Jon Stewart, CEO of Heartland Community Health Center

HRSA requires health centers to keep track and measure several clinical areas, such as monitoring diabetes patients and those with controlled hypertension, cervical cancer screening and depression screening. Heartland showed improvement in several of those areas. l $30,000 for increasing the total number of patients it served and the number of patients receiving comprehensive services between 2013 and 2014. In 2013, Heartland had 5,872 patient encounters; in 2014, the

health center had 8,984 patient encounters. “A patient might have two or three encounters in a single visit,” Hatch said. All in one trip, for instance, a patient might see a health care provider, a smoking cessation specialist and a mental health counselor. l $75,000 for improving cost-efficient care delivery compared to the national average while also increasing quality of care and improving access to services between 2013 and 2014. “It’s based on data that shows we have significantly reduced our

cost per patient visit,” said Heartland CEO Jon Stewart. The cost per patient visit went down dramatically from 2013 to 2014, he said, and that decrease is continuing in 2015. “It shows that we’ve become more effective in our care coordination,” he said. “We are more efficient in the way we get our work done.” Heartland and other recipients will use the funds to expand current quality improvement systems and improve primary care service delivery in the communities they serve. The Kansas health centers to receive the next highest awards were Health Ministries Inc., in Newton, $100,250; and Community Health Center of Southeast Kansas Inc., in Pittsburg, $99,268.

Kobach, the architect behind some of the nation’s strictest voter ID requirements, has called his proposal “a commonsense” administrative rule that will save taxpayers money.

Kansas City, Kan. — Kansas University Medical Center is beginning work on a $75 million building. Gov. Sam Brownback is among the dignitaries scheduled to attend a ceremonial groundbreaking ceremony today for the new Health Education Building. It will serve as the primary teaching facility for the KU schools of Medicine, Nursing and Health Professions. Funding comes from $25 million in state bonds, $15 million from KU Medical Center and $37.3 million in private gifts. The Hall Family Foundation was the largest donor, chipping in $25 million. Dr. David Zamierowski, of Overland Park, also will be honored after he and his wife gave money for simulation equipment and facilities. Even after construction begins in mid-September, fundraising will continue to help pay for technology and equipment for the building. saying his plan is not a purge as “left-wing knuckleheads” claim because those people just have to fill out a voter registration form again. “Oh the horror!

MAKING A COMEBACK

OFF THE BEATEN PLATE By Joanna Hlavacek

KITSCHY PROPS ADORN THE SET OF “COME BACK TO THE FIVE AND DIME, JIMMY DEAN, JIMMY DEAN” inside the Lawrence Percolator. The art gallery at 913 Rhode Island St. has been transformed into a small-time five-and-dime store for the play, which is set to open Friday.

Social themes of ’70s ‘Five and Dime’ are even more timely, relevant today By Joanna Hlavacek • Twitter: @hlavacekjoanna

intage crafting magazines, packages of pantyhose, board games, comic books, hair rollers and dozens — if not hundreds — of other old-timey items line the shelves behind a makeshift soda fountain counter at the Lawrence Percolator. Tucked away in the alley behind the Lawrence Arts Center and identified from the outside by its green awnings, the short, squat little building at 913 Rhode Island St. is, on most days, an art gallery. But in recent weeks, the Percolator’s already-compact 600-square-foot interior has been transformed into a small-town, 1970s-era five-and-dime store complete with an antique cash register and diner-esque chrome tables and chairs. The effect is cluttered, chaotic and perhaps most notably, a tad uncomfortable. That’s kind of the point, says Andy Brown, the co-producer of Orange Mouse Theatricals’ upcoming production of “Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean,” which opens Friday. “The idea is to do small, immersive theater,” says Brown, whose production invites guests to pull up a chair and sip on fountain drinks before the show. “We’re trying to create space where people can really encounter theater, as opposed to, ‘I’m going to sit here in my auditorium seat and watch the show and applaud politely and leave.’” It’s also a guiding principle behind Orange Mouse Theatricals, which Brown co-founded with longtime friend and partner Cynthia Evans. The company, which staged its first production — “Black Friday,” a treatise on the dehumanizing effects of consumerism — in November, is interested in the kind of “lesser known” plays that engage with timely, relevant topics. “Five and Dime” is one such example. The play’s handling of

sexuality and gender — as well as other timeless issues such as cancer, domestic violence and mental illness — are even more pertinent now than they were at the time of its debut nearly 40 years ago, says director and coproducer Cynthia Evans. Penned by Ed Graczyk in 1976 and later adapted into a 1982 film starring Cher and Kathy Bates, the story revolves around a an all-female James Dean fan club that reunites 20 years after the actor’s death. The action, which alternatives between 1955 and 1975, takes place at a Woolworth’s five-anddime store in the women’s hometown of McCarthy, Texas, not far from where Dean filmed “Giant” shortly before the car crash that took his life at age 24. Over a series of flashbacks, the friends swap secrets, some of which date back to their seemingly carefree teenage years. Now pushing 40 and still stuck in the crumbling southwestern Texas town of their youth, the Disciples of James Dean ultimately realize that many of the hopes and dreams they envisioned for themselves in 1955 didn’t come to fruition and probably never will. One character, Joanne, proves the exception. Back in 1955, she was known as Joe, the club’s sole male member. But in 1975, more than a decade after her sex reassignment surgery, she returns to her hometown as Joanne — who, unlike her old friends, left McCarthy and grew into a successful, confident woman. “Joanne is the one who follows her dreams and comes back changed,” Evans says. “The rest of the cast has shied away from change, has given up on dreams. She’s willing to reach back and take a risk, even if just walking away might be easier.” Evans, who first fell in love with “Five and Dime” while starring in a production at Kansas University in 1988, wanted to do something unprecedented with her staging.

If you go What: Orange Mouse Theatricals’ “Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean” When: 9:30 p.m. FridaySaturday and Sept. 4-5 Where: Lawrence Percolator, 913 Rhode Island St. (look for the green awnings in the alley behind the Lawrence Arts Center) Cost: Tickets range from $15 to $25, depending on the package, and can be purchased online or at the door. For more information, visit orangemouse.wix.com.

For the first time in the play’s history, according to Evans’ research, a transgender actress has been cast in the role of Joanne. Evans is confident in musician and Lawrence theater newcomer Christi Cranberry’s portrayal, which she hopes will lend a greater personal understanding of Joanne’s experience “When I did the show back in 1988, and in the movie and every performance, it’s always been a (cisgender) woman playing the part. It made me think of Shakespeare’s time, when all the roles were played by men,” Evans says. “I thought, ‘Wow, that’s sort of archaic.’ I’m very excited to be breaking the eggshell.” Brown agrees. As executive director of Headquarters Counseling Center, his work focuses on suicide prevention, and transgender issues often play a role. As with previous Orange Mouse productions, his goal with “Five and Dime” is to shine some light on the subject and ideally, start a conversation with the audience. “Even though it’s about James Dean and set in the ’50s and ’70s, I think we still have a huge issue with acceptance and inclusion of transgender folks,” Brown says. “We’re hopeful that this will help raise some attention and get people thinking about it a little more.”

MEATLOAF PO’BOY

f you’re a true-blue, red-blooded American, you’ve probably sampled a meatloaf sandwich in your lifetime. That’s quite an assumption, to be fair, but while we’re at it, here’s another one. I’m guessing you’ve probably never had a meatloaf po’boy before. I certainly hadn’t until I visited Terrebonne Cafe, where they’re serving up the Cajun-y sandwich as a special every Wednesday. At Terrebonne, homemade slices of meatloaf are piled onto a toasted French roll with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions and the cafe’s special po’boy sauce. This sandwich should make a meatloaf fan out of those who claim not to enjoy the comfort-food classic, which has a reputation in some circles as being dry and flavorless. Fortunately for us, Terrebonne’s remains nice and juicy, with slightly crisped edges.

The po’boy sauce, which drips off the sandwich and onto your hands in the most appetizing way, probably helps, too. Where to get it: Terrebonne Cafe, 805 Vermont St. What you’ll pay: $6.50 Try it with: Terrebonne’s poutine fries, which take Cajun fries and smother them with beef gravy and cheese. They’re also available as a Wednesday special. Also on the menu: Plenty more po’boys, including shrimp, gator and andouille sausage varieties, plus other Louisiana favorites such as muffalettas, gumbo, fried okra and hush puppies. — Off The Beaten Plate highlights some of the more exotic, oddly named or inventively concocted dishes from local menus.

EDITORIALS

Good partnership Lawrence Memorial Hospital programs and support are welcome additions to Sports Pavilion Lawrence.

he sponsorship and lease agreement allowing Lawrence Memorial Hospital to locate facilities at Sports Pavilion Lawrence is a great partnership between two local entities. The five-year agreement approved by Lawrence city commissioners last week calls for LMH to pay $50,000 a year to lease about 4,000 square feet of vacant space at the recreation center. The space is part of the 6,000 square feet that city officials originally had earmarked for an LMH wellness facility. That plan didn’t work out, but LMH now plans to use part of that space for “sports performance training and other health/wellness related” activities. In addition, LMH will pay $50,000 a year to become an “entitlement” sponsor of SPL. That sponsorship agreement includes allowing LMH some signage inside SPL, two banners at each of the city’s other three recreation centers and some promotional consideration in Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department publications and the department’s website. All of those benefits seem reasonable and warranted for the LMH sponsorship investment. What the agreement doesn’t include is any LMH signs on the SPL exterior or in the parking lot. Some city commissioners already have raised concerns about outdoor signs and possible naming rights, which had been envisioned for a single “entitlement” SPL sponsor who would pay $100,000 per year. SPL is a city, taxpayer-funded facility, they say, that shouldn’t bear the name of another sponsor. Other commissioners aptly point out that money obtained through various sponsorships is money that local taxpayers won’t have to contribute toward the ongoing operating costs of the recreation center. Those differing opinions likely will be aired in future sponsorship discussions, but they shouldn’t detract from the partnership with LMH. The local hospital and the city’s Parks and Recreation Department have a common goal of providing services that contribute to the health and wellness of Lawrence residents. LMH’s programs and sponsorship support are welcome additions to the popular Sports Pavilion.

Trump diminishing GOP chances Washington — Every sulfurous belch from the molten interior of the volcanic Trump phenomenon injures the chances of a Republican presidency. After Donald Trump finishes plastering a snarling face on conservatism, any Republican nominee will face a dauntingly steep climb to reach even the paltry numbers that doomed Mitt Romney. It is perhaps quixotic to try to distract Trump’s supporters with facts, which their leader, who is no stickler for dignity, considers beneath him. Still, consider these: The white percentage of the electorate has been shrinking for decades and will be about 2 points smaller in 2016 than in 2012. In 2008, Barack Obama became the first president elected while losing the white vote by double digits. In 2012, Hispanics, the nation’s largest minority, were for the first time a double-digit (10 percent) portion of the electorate. White voters were nearly 90 percent of Romney’s vote. In 1988, George H.W. Bush won 59 percent of the white vote, which translated into 426 electoral votes. Twentyfour years later, Romney won 59 percent of the white vote and just 206 electoral votes. He lost the nonwhite vote by 63 points, receiving just 17 percent of it. If the Republicans’ 2016 nominee does not do better than Romney did among nonwhite voters, he will need 65 percent of the white vote, which was last achieved by Ronald Reagan when carrying 49 states in 1984. Romney did even slight-

“

Trump supporters consider the presidency today an entry-level job because he is available to turn government into a triumph of the leader’s will.” ly worse among Asian-Americans — the fastest-growing minority — than among Hispanics. Evidently minorities generally detected Republican ambivalence, even animus about them. This was before Trump began receiving rapturous receptions because he obliterates inhibitions about venting hostility. Trump is indifferent to those conservative tenets (e.g., frugality: He welcomed Obama’s stimulus) to which he is not hostile (e.g., property rights: He adored the Supreme Court’s Kelo decision vastly expanding government’s power of eminent domain). So, Trump’s appeal must derive primarily from his views about immigration. Including legal immigration, concerning which he favors a “pause” of unspecified duration. Some supporters simply find Trump entertainingly naughty. Others, however,

have remarkable cognitive dissonance. They properly execrate Obama’s executive highhandedness that expresses progressivism’s traditional disdain for the separation of powers that often makes government action difficult. But these same Trumpkins simultaneously despise GOP congressional leaders because they do not somehow jettison the separation of powers and work conservatism’s unimpeded will from Capitol Hill. For conservatives, this is the dispiriting irony: The administrative state’s intrusiveness (e.g., its regulatory burdens), irrationalities (e.g., the tax code’s toll on economic growth), incompetence (Amtrak, ethanol, etc.) and illegality (we see you, IRS) may benefit the principal architect of this state, the Democratic Party. This is because the other party’s talented critics of the administrative state are being drowned out by Trump’s recent discovery that Americans understandably disgusted by government can be beguiled by a summons to Caesarism. Trump, who uses the first-person singular pronoun even more than the previous world record holder (Obama), promises that constitutional arrangements need be no impediment to the leader’s savvy, “management” brilliance and iron will. Trump supporters consider the presidency today an entry-level job because he is available to turn government into a triumph of the leader’s will. This is hardly the first

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Aug. 27, 1915: years “The time has ago come for a more IN 1915 decided stand on the part of the city in regard to the enforcement of the recently passed milk ordinance and unless the milkmen comply with the ordinance in a hurry prosecutions are going to follow, according to a statement by Milk Inspector Holyfield this morning.… ‘There are several dairymen selling milk in Lawrence who needn’t be surprised if they are summoned to appear in court soon.’” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

Carter’s grace embodies true faith “To want what I have, to take what I’m given with grace … for this, I pray.” — From “For My Wedding,” by Don Henley

time we have heard America singing lyrics like those of Trump’s curdled populism. Alabama Democrat George Wallace four times ran for president with salvos against Washington’s “briefcase totin’ bureaucrats who can’t even park their bicycles straight.” What is new is Trump promising, in the name of strength, to put America into a defensive crouch against “cunning” Mexicans and others. Republicans are the party of growth or they are superfluous. The other party relishes allocating scarcities — full employment for the administrative state. Trump assumes a zerosum society, where one person’s job is another’s loss. Hence his rage against other nations’ “stealing” jobs — “our” jobs. In 2011, when Trump was a voluble “birther” — you remember: Obama supposedly was not born in America, hence he is an illegitimate president — an interviewer asked if he had people “searching in Hawaii” for facts. “Absolutely,” Trump said. “They can’t believe what they’re finding.” Trump reticence is rare, but he has never shared those findings. He now says, in effect: Oh, never mind. If in November 2016, the fragments of an ever smaller and more homogenous GOP might be picked up with tweezers, Trump, having taken his act elsewhere, will look back over his shoulder at the wreckage he wrought and say: Oh, never mind.

America is a nation of faith. So it is often said. In faith, a baker refuses to bake a cake for a gay couple’s wedding. In faith, a minister prays for the president to die. In faith, terrorists plant bombs at the finish line of a marathon. In faith, mosques are vandalized, shot at and burned. In faith, a televangelist asks his followers to buy him a $65 million private jet. And no one is even surprised anymore. In America, what we call faith is often loud, often exclusionary, sometimes violent and too frequently enamored of shiny, expensive things. In faith, ill-tempered people mob the shopping malls every year at Christmas to have fistfights and gunfights over hot toys and high-end electronics. You did not hear much about faith last week when Jimmy Carter held a press conference to reveal that he has four spots of cancer on his brain. The 39th president made only a few references to it in the nearly 40 minutes he spoke, and they were all in response to reporters’

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

Feeling sorry would have felt like an insult, a denial of the virtues he showed and the faith he didn’t need to speak because it was just … there.”

questions. Yet, you would be hard-pressed to find a more compelling statement of belief in things not seen. Unsentimental, poised and lit from within by an amazing grace, Carter discussed the fight now looming ahead of him, the radiation treatments he will undergo, the need to finally cut back on his whirlwind schedule. He smiled often. “I’m perfectly at ease with whatever comes,” he said, in such a way that you believed him without question. And it was impossible to feel sorry for him. Partially, that’s because we all die and if — still only

an if — cancer is what takes James Earl Carter Jr. away, well, there are worse things than to go having reached 90 years of age, having been president of the United States, having been married to the love of your life for almost seven decades, having sired a large and sprawling family and having done significant work toward the eradication of disease and the spreading of democracy in the developing world. But here’s the other reason it was impossible to feel sorry for him. Feeling sorry would have felt like an insult, a denial of the virtues he showed and the faith he didn’t need to speak because it was just … there. For all its loudness, all its exclusion, violence and ubiquity, the faith that is modeled in the public square is often not particularly affecting. It is hard to imagine people looking on it from outside and musing to themselves, “I’d like to have some of that.” What Carter showed the world, though, was different. Who would not want to be able to face the unknown with such perfect equanimity? Carter presented an image of faith we don’t see nearly as often as we should. Which is sad, because it

is also the image truest to what faith is supposed to be — not a magic lamp you rub in hopes of a private jet, not a license for our worst impulses, but, rather, an act of surrender to a force greater than self, a way of being centered enough to tell whatever bleak thing comes your way, “So be it.” Even fearsome death itself: “So be it.” The heat and hubris of human life are such that that state is difficult to conceive, much less to reach. Our lives are defined by wanting and by lack — more money, new car, new love — and by the ceaseless hustle to fill empty spaces within. Media and advertising conspire to make you feel ever incomplete. So it is hard to feel whole within yourself, at peace with what is, whatever that turns out to be. But who, gazing upon the former president, can doubt the result is worth the effort? In faith, terrorists kill the innocent. In faith, televangelists swindle the gullible. In faith, so many of us hate, exclude, hurt, curse and destroy. And in faith, last week, Jimmy Carter told the world he has cancer in his brain. And smiled as he spoke. — Leonard Pitts Jr. is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

Dow roars back, rallies 620 points Adam Shell and Kirk Spitzer USA TODAY

This time, the Dow stuck its late-day dismount. The Dow Jones industrial average rebounded in a big way Wednesday, surging nearly 620 points — its third-best daily point gain ever and best since 2008 — ending a painful six-session losing streak and delivering Wall Street the first signs of stabiliza-

tion it has craved after the stock market’s worst rout in four years. After Tuesday’s failed rebound briefly dashed hopes of a recovery, investors searched Wednesday for signs of stock market stability and a bounce that would hold. They got their wish. Unlike Tuesday, when the Dow let a 442-point gain disappear and finished down 205 points, the Dow rallied sharply late in the session, closing up 619.07 points, or 4%, to 16,285.51.

“It seems to me that the selling has exhausted itself for now,” says Bob Doll, chief equity strategist at Nuveen Asset Management, adding that investors should expect more turbulence ahead. The market rally stuck this time because more good news was released about the U.S. economy, a Federal Reserve member hinted that an interest rate hike might not come in September as feared, and Wall Street was convinced that Chinese authorities

would do more to stimulate its shaky economy. Brian Belski, chief investment strategist at BMO Capital Markets, says the big bounce signals that business fundamentals are more powerful than fear. “Fundamentals always defeat fear and emotion,” Belski told USA TODAY, adding that rising angst related to China’s slowing economy and the recent stock market correction were both “normal and overdone.”

talents but didn’t know it. She was kind to everyone, humble, easy to get along with. We all told her she was a rising star but that never went to her head.” Zuber praised Ward’s work ethic. He would film early shoots, then return to work in the evening to handle high school football coverage, she said. The football coverage even became a family affair: Ward’s father worked as a temporary employee to help out during the busy season, taking notes on plays and other action during the games. “Adam was one of those photographers who would go anywhere, do anything for you,” Zuber said.

A few hours after a gunman walked up to a young TV reporter and her cameraman and shot them dead on live TV, a message appeared on Twitter. Short and unpunctuated, it read, “I filmed the shooting see Facebook” The tweet came from the gunman. The grim narrative that unfolded Wednesday was shocking to watch. Part gun-related workplace dispute and part racial hate crime — the gunman was African American — the horrifying shootings played out on live local TV, then on social media, then again on TV everywhere, as police pieced together what happened. The shootings shattered that most routine of morning rituals, the early morning standup interview with the head of the local Chamber of Commerce. It was hardly a spree shooting, but the gunman’s bravura, reeling out on our news feeds, our Twitter streams and Facebook pages, made it seem more menacing. In the hours after the killing of Alison Parker, 24, and Adam Ward, 27, the lone suspect in the case, Vester Flanagan, had a lot to say. As police undertook a massive manhunt, Flanagan took to social media and sent out jittery videos of the shooting from his point of view. He tweeted to complain that the dead reporter, who was white, was a racist; that the cameraman, also white, had filed a complaint about him with the station’s human resources department. He faxed a 23-page, expletiveridden letter to ABC News, saying he’d bought his gun and hollowpoint bullets two days after the mass shootings at a Charleston, S.C., church June 17.

Va. shooting victims ‘were our A team’ Peers recall energetic duo with superlatives, sorrow

Friends and colleagues of two journalists slain on live TV Wednesday morning hailed Alison Parker and Adam Ward as dedicated, energetic professionals with bright futures. “They were our A team — Alison and Adam,” said Kelly Zuber, news director at WDBJ7-TV in Roanoke, Va., where both victims worked. Parker, 24, and Ward, 27, were fatally shot while filming an early-morning interview. An intense manhunt for the suspect in the attack ended when Vester Flanagan, 41, a former employee at the same TV station, shot himself. He was later pronounced dead at a hospital. Parker handled the early shift and “had tremendous anchor potential,” Zuber said. “She was one of those people who had many

You shouldn’t lump Trump as a bully – technically speaking Heidi M Przybyla

@HeidiPrzybyla USA TODAY

Donald Trump says he’s not a bully and, clinically, he may be right. On Wednesday, Trump was again defending himself following the latest in a series of spats with network television personalities — this time with Univision anchor Jorge Ramos, who Trump’s security detail booted from a news conference the previous night in Iowa. “I am not a bully,” the real estate magnate and Republican

presidential candidate said on the TODAY show. Americans may describe Trump’s behavior in many ways, but psychologists and experts told USA TODAY that textbook bullying shouldn’t be one of them. The greater challenge, they say, is explaining the reasons for his popularity. “Bullying is the repeated, intentional harm of another person who has less power than you do,” said Dewey Cornell, a forensic psychologist and bullying expert at the University of Virginia. “If it’s him and Rosie O’Donnell going at each other, they may have comparable power,” he said.

Patti McDougall, associate professor of psychology at the University of Saskatchewan, said “bullying does not happen when you’ve got two equals in a fight.” Trump has attacked Megyn

Kelly, one of the nation’s mostwatched cable news hosts, ever since she pointedly questioned him during a Fox News debate. Trump told Ramos — described as the Walter Cronkite of

Spanish-language television — to “go back to Univision” after the reporter, who hadn’t been called on, attempted to confront Trump about his stance on immigration. Still, there’s no doubt Trump’s style appeals to many voters. “There are certain people who do enjoy the bravado. They look up to that and view it as strength,” said Derek Swain, a registered psychologist in Vancouver who’s counseled adults and children who’ve been bullied. “This is like watching reality TV unfold before you,” McDougall said. “How much of this is about the fact that we are, at heart, voyeurs?”

On social media, chilling stream of posts Gunman took to Twitter and Facebook to document crimes Emily Brown @emilygbrown USA TODAY

The Twitter and Facebook accounts were created just last week. Videos labeled as tests were added. Then, as the nation learned that two journalists had been shot to death during a live TV broadcast Wednesday, the gunman used those accounts to post dramatic videos showing him approach the scene, raise his gun and fire. Vester Lee Flanagan II is identified as the gunman in the shooting deaths of WDBJ7-TV reporter

Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward. Parker was interviewing Vicki Gardner, a local official, at Smith Mountain Lake, Va., when all three of them were shot at 6:45 a.m. ET on live TV. Parker and Ward died. Gardner had emergency surgery and was in stable condition Wednesday. Flanagan’s tweets began at 11:09 a.m. When he worked for WDBJ7, he went by Bryce Williams. Both the Twitter handle and Facebook page were created under that name. Flanagan, who was tweeting while fleeing the scene, said that Parker made racist comments and that he filed an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission report. He also tweeted that Ward went to human resources about him “after working with me one time!!!” Then came the videos. At 11:14 a.m. Flanagan tweeted

Vester Flanagan’s tweets began at 11:09 a.m. He used the name Bryce Williams, which he used on air, as his Twitter handle. two short videos and posted a 56second video to Facebook. The videos show the incident from the gunman’s perspective. Chilling and raw, the shooter approaches Parker, Ward and Gardner and lifts the gun into

view. He stands there unnoticed as the live broadcast continues. The shooting occurs about 40 seconds into the video. “He wasn’t just bent on revenge; he was bent on doing it in a visible, videographic way,” said

Pursued by police, killer shot himself v CONTINUED FROM 1B

Nearly five hours after the murders, Virginia state police said, Flanagan, 41, shot himself in a rental car as police chased him down Interstate 66 — a computerized license plate reader had snapped a picture of his rental plates. He’d driven nearly 200 miles from the shooting scene near Roanoke, Va., apparently tweeting messages and Facebook posts along the way. By the time police caught up with him, Flanagan was headed toward Washington. Media converged on the Vallejo, Calif., home of Flanagan’s father, Vester Lee Flanagan, after news of the shooting spread. On Wednesday afternoon, a friend of the Flanagan family named Amber Bowman read a statement. “It is with heavy hearts and deep sadness we express our deepest condolences to the families of Alison Parker and Adam Ward. We are also praying for the recovery of Vicki Gardner. Our thoughts and prayers at this time are with the victims’ families and with WDBJ television station family,” she read. “Words cannot express the hurt that we feel for the victims.” As he’d promised, Flanagan, who’d used the name Bryce Williams at WDBJ-TV in Roanoke

and elsewhere, posted video on his Facebook page showing the shooting from his perspective. The gun is visible, and Parker is seen being shot. Her interview subject, Vicki Gardner, executive director of a chamber of commerce, was wounded. She is likely to recover. People who knew him said Flanagan had a history of raising concerns about alleged racism in the workplace. He’d been fired from one station in 2000 for threatening colleagues, one news director said. According to his LinkedIn profile, Flanagan had not worked since leaving WDBJ in February 2013. He filled the profile’s space for work history from 2013 with a smiley face emoticon. Jeff Marks, the station’s general manager, told The Washington Post that soon after Flanagan was hired, he “gathered a reputation as someone who was difficult to work with. … He was sort of looking out for people to say things that he could take offense to. And eventually, after many incidents of his anger coming to the fore, we dismissed him. And he did not take that well. We had to call the police to escort him from the building.” Flanagan filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC),

psychiatrist Jeffrey Lieberman, a professor and chairman of psychiatry at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York. “It’s applying social media to committing a homicide,” Lieberman said. “This bears all the earmarks of our culture — ready availability of guns and social media-facilitated ability to disseminate this instantly.” J. Reid Meloy, a forensic psychologist and co-editor of The International Handbook of Threat Assessment, says mass killers in recent years have been “copy cats,” inspired by previous murders. But they want to make their mark by outdoing their predecessors. “They look for something that hasn’t been done before and then do it,” Meloy said. Contributing: Liz Szabo, USA TODAY

Franklin County Sheriff Bill Overton speaks to the media in Moneta, Va., after two employees of WDBJ-TV were killed. Marks said, alleging that members of the staff made racial comments. “And none of them could be corroborated by anyone,” he said. “We think they were fabricated.” The EEOC dismissed the claim, Marks said. Don Shafer, news director at San Diego 6, told USA TODAY that Flanagan was a talented reporter and that he hired him at Tallahassee’s WTWC in 1999 as evening and weekend anchor. Shafer fired him after 11 months for “conduct unbecoming,” including “bizarre behavior” and threatening employees. On Twitter last month, Flanagan posted a snippet from a Florida newspaper article about the incident. It quotes him as saying he had been “very excited” to take up the job, but had been “shocked and disappointed” over what he said was the “level of racism” at

the station. Another newspaper report quotes Flanagan as charging that he and another black employee were referred to as “monkeys” and that a supervisor once told him that “blacks are lazy and do not take advantage of free money” for scholarships and economic opportunities, the Tallahassee Democrat reported. After the shootings at 6:45 a.m., police quickly named Flanagan as a suspect, and around 11 a.m., they found his gray 2009 Mustang at the Roanoke Regional Airport. He had fled the airport in a car he rented this month. Police tracked him to eastbound I-66 in Fauquier County, Va. Using a license plate scanner, police spotted Flanagan’s car. At 11:09 a.m., Flanagan began tweeting about the shootings, using a Twitter handle with his onair name. Flanagan tweeted that

Parker made racist comments and that he’d filed an EEOC complaint. He tweeted that Ward went to human resources about him “after working with me one time!!!” In his rambling letter to ABC, Flanagan wrote, “Why did I do it? I put down a deposit for a gun on 6/19/15. The Church shooting in Charleston happened on 6/17/15. … What sent me over the top was the church shooting. And my hollow point bullets have the victims’ initials on them.” Flanagan said “Jehovah” spoke to him, telling him to act. As for the Charleston gunman, Dylann Roof, he said, “You (deleted)! You want a race war (deleted)? BRING IT THEN YOU WHITE … (deleted)!!!” He wrote, “The church shooting was the tipping point … but my anger has been building steadily. ...

Shooting victims were dating co-workers v CONTINUED FROM 1B

WDBJ7-TV spokesman Mike Morgan said Parker and Ward were “two outstanding professionals. Both were so dedicated to their jobs. ... They were so energetic.” Both victims were dating coworkers at the TV station. Parker had been dating Chris Hurst, an anchor at WDBJ7-TV, for almost nine months. The two had just returned from a whitewater-rafting trip in the Blue Ridge mountains last weekend, Zuber said. Hurst

told Zuber that, after the rafting trip, Parker was “as happy as he’d ever seen her.” After her death, Hurst tweeted a photo of the couple together. The two “were very much in love,” he tweeted. “We just moved in together. I am numb.” Ward was engaged to WDBJ7TV producer Melissa Ott. Ott was working behind the scenes of the show and watched the shooting as it happened, Zuber said. Ott had just planned to relocate there. Wednesday was Ott’s last day at the station.

Parker was interviewing Vicki Gardner of the local Chamber of Commerce when the shooting happened. Gardner was also shot and hospitalized. Ward graduated from Salem (Va.) High School and Virginia Tech, the station said. Parker grew up in Martinsville, Va., and attended Patrick Henry Community College before graduating from James Madison University in 2012. While at James Madison, Parker earned a bachelor’s degree in media arts and design and was a reporter and editor for the stu-

dent newspaper, The Breeze. She interned at WDBJ7-TV while in college, Zuber said. After graduation, Parker went on to work at WCTI News Channel 12 in Jacksonville, N.C., before moving to the Roanoke station. Ryan Parkhurst, a faculty member at James Madison, taught Parker and served as her adviser. During his 11 years as a teacher, Parkhurst said he never met a student who had a job lined up in broadcast news before graduation, but Parker did. “She was bubbly, she was

IN BRIEF GIANT PANDA CUB DIES AT NATIONAL ZOO

One of the giant panda cubs died Wednesday around 2 p.m. at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, officials said in a statement. The larger of the cubs appears to be “strong, robust, behaving normally” and is with its mother Mei Xiang in Washington. Mei Xiang, the zoo’s female giant panda, gave birth to the twins after being artificially inseminated in April. After their births, the zoo announced that it would be rotating the cubs so that one could be with the mother at a time. Staffers said they would switch the cubs about every four hours so each had time to nurse and have quality time with Mei Xiang. On Tuesday, the National Zoo tweeted that they hadn’t been able to swap the cubs since 2 p.m. Monday, but also reported that the smaller cub’s “behaviors are good; still high-risk time.”— Jessica Durando TROPICAL STORM HEADS FOR CARIBBEAN, FLORIDA

The dust-covered 9/11 survivor whose photograph became one of the defining images of the terror attacks has died after a battle with stomach cancer at age 42. Marcy Borders, then 28, became known as the “Dust Lady” when Agence France-Presse photographer Stan Honda took her picture after a bystander pulled her to safety as the second of the World Trade Center twin towers began to fall. Borders was running late for work as a legal assistant at the Bank of America on the 81st floor of 1 World Trade Center when alQaeda-linked terrorists slammed two of four hijacked planes into the twin towers. Nearly 3,000 people were killed in the attacks.

The Jersey Journal reported that the mother of two, from Bayonne, N.J., was diagnosed with stomach cancer in August 2014 after falling into depression for 10 years after the attacks, and abusing alcohol and drugs. She checked into rehab in 2011 and stayed clean, she told the paper. In November that year, Borders told the newspaper: “I’m saying to myself, ‘Did this thing (9/11) ignite cancer cells in me? I definitely believe it because I haven’t had any illnesses.” She said she avoided viewing the image of herself. “I try to take myself from being a victim to being a survivor now,” she told the Journal. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio tweeted: “Marcy Borders’ passing is a difficult reminder of the tragedy our city suffered nearly 14 years ago. NYC holds her loved ones in our hearts.”

“This is a highly protected vehicle.”

Jim Michaels USA TODAY

WASHINGTON

wo U.S. servicemen were killed Wednesday by a gunman dressed in an Afghan security forces uniform who fired on them at a base in southern Afghanistan. It was the latest in a recent string of U.S. deaths in the war-torn country. Coalition soldiers returned fire, wounding the gunman and another person in an Afghan security forces uniform, according to a coalition statement. Last weekend, three American contractors were killed in a car bomb attack in Kabul. This month, an Army Green Beret was killed on a NATO base in Kabul. Despite the recent spate of attacks, U.S. and coalition casualties are down dramatically in Afghanistan compared with prior years. The fewer casualties reflect a decrease in the number of American troops in the country as Afghan security forces take the lead in battling insurgents. Taliban forces have stepped up violence recently, causing Afghan troops to suffer record casualties and allowing the militants to take control of some districts around the country. Some of the increase in attacks may reflect jockeying for power after the recent news of the death

Afghan firefighters hose down a street in Kabul outside Camp Integrity, a base housing U.S. special forces that was attacked by militants on Aug. 8 of Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar, said Michael O’Hanlon, an analyst at Brookings Institution. “You’ve just got to expect fluctuations” in violence, O’Hanlon said. “We are going to see ups and downs.” Wednesday’s attack raises to four the number of U.S. troop combat deaths in Afghanistan this year, according to Pentagon statistics. Since 2001, when U.S. forces invaded the country to oust the Taliban for harboring alQaeda leaders, more than 1,800 U.S. troops have died in combat. It was not clear whether the assailant was a member of the Afghan security forces or posing as

one. If he was an Afghan soldier, it would be the third so-called insider attack this year, the Associated Press reported. Three American civilian contractors were killed in January by an Afghan soldier. In April, an American soldier was killed by an Afghan soldier in Nangarhar province. In 2012, there were 47 attacks by Afghan security forces on coalition troops that killed 62 people. Since then, the number of insider attacks decreased as U.S. forces improved tactics and the number of American troops in the country declined.

Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) trucks. The Pentagon has been searching for a replacement for the Humvee in earnest shortly after the war in Iraq took a deadly turn in 2004. At that time, troops scrambled to tack homemade armor onto their Humvees for protection against roadside bombs known as improvised explosive devices (IEDs). The military, despite ample internal warnings that dated to the mid-1990s about the Humvees’ vulnerability to IEDs because of its flat bottom and light weight, clung to trucks and the notion that JLTV was right around the corner. It wasn’t. In 2007, IEDs were the top killer in Iraq, tearing through the thin bellies of Humvees and tossing them skyward. Despite urgent pleas from commanders in the field for Mine Resistant Ambush Protected trucks, the military stuck to its JLTV strategy. Szews said the JLTV design incorporates lessons Oshkosh learned from fielding thousands of the all-terrain version of the MRAP, the M-ATV, to troops in Afghanistan.

Holmes sentenced to life, plus 3,318 years in prison Ends 3-year saga of Colo. theater shooting that left 12 dead Trevor Hughes USA TODAY

CENTENNIAL , COLO.

A judge on Wednesday sentenced the Aurora theater shooter to life in prison without parole plus 3,318 consecutive years, ending a three-year saga that began when James Holmes walked into a darkened auditorium on a hot July night and opened fire. “Sheriff, get the defendant out of my courtroom, please,” Judge Carlos Samour Jr. said as applause broke out in the courtroom. A jury this month decided Holmes would receive a life sen-

tence after members were unable to unanimously decide to have him executed for the 12 murders committed at a suburban Denver movie theater on July 20, 2012. Samour was legally required to pronounce 12 life sentences for the murders, along with punishment for other crimes of which Holmes was convicted. The sentence was the maximum Samour could give, and the longest ever handed down in Colorado, prosecutors said. Holmes showed no reaction as Samour spoke for more than an hour before pronouncing sentence for the attack on the theater showing a midnight premiere of the Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises. Addressing family members and the public who were disappointed Holmes wasn’t sentenced to death, Samour pointed out that the case ended

KUSA-TV

James Holmes walks to the lectern to hear the judge formally sentence him to life in prison, plus 3,318 consecutive years. Wednesday, rather than spending the next decade in appeals, forcing survivors to be re-victimized. “The defendant will never be a free man again, ever,” Samour said. “The place of death, general-

ly speaking, has been determined. The only question that remains unanswered is the time of death.” Holmes told a court-appointed psychiatrist that he attacked the theater to improve his self worth,

and that he expected people would remember his name. Wednesday’s hearing was the third and final day of the formal sentencing phase that drew tearful memories from survivors recounting how the shooting updended their lives, stole their loved ones and left many struggling with PTSD. Speaking in court on Tuesday, Arlene Holmes said her son has expressed remorse for his crimes: “but his ability to express his emotions with his face or verbally has been impaired by disease and medication.” After sentencing, District Attorney George Brauchler reiterated his belief that seeking the death penalty was the right decision, and rejected the idea Holmes has expressed remorse. Holmes’ attorneys said on Tuesday that they will not appeal.

A right whale is spotted swimming in the northern Pacific Ocean. Right whales once numbered in the thousands, but whaling has reduced their population to only a few dozen. Clapham said the few whales left in the eastern North Pacific — likely around 30 — are descendants of the estimated 20,000 that swam in the region before the 1830s and 1840s, when the whaling industry reduced their numbers by as much as 90%. Whales were killed for their oil and blubber, which was used to light lamps in U.S. and European cities and also as an industrial lubricant.

She said the goal is to collect photos, tissue samples and perhaps attach tags to the animals to track their movements. The North Pacific right whale, the rarest whale in the world and found off the Alaskan coast, once numbered in the tens of thousands. Now, only a few dozen are likely left because of fierce whaling. Scientists began the search in early August, trying to catch a glimpse and listen to the calls of the mammal. The researchers have already faced galeforce winds and high waves. “This is the first survey for right whales in the Gulf of Alaska, ever,” said Phil Clapham, a NOAA whale expert from the Alaska Fisheries Science Center in Seattle. Other whale surveys of the Bering Sea, between Alaska and Russia where there are a few more whales, have been done in the past, he said.

WALMART TO QUIT SELLING MODERN SPORTING RIFLES Walmart is in the process of pulling modern sporting rifles such as the AR-15 from stores, instead focusing more on selling other sports and hunting firearms. The decision, made earlier this year, is related purely to lack of customer demand, says Walmart spokesman Kory Lundberg. BEST BUY SHARES JUMP AFTER Q2 EARNINGS BEAT Best Buy saw its shares surge 15% early Tuesday after the company’s second-quarter earnings beat Wall Street expectations. The chain reported net income of $164 million, or 46 cents per share, for the April-June period, compared with $146 million and 42 cents during the same period last year. Earnings per share beat analysts’ estimates from Thomson Reuters of 34 cents. Best Buy shares closed the trading day up 7% to $35.25. DURABLE GOODS ORDERS JUMP 2% IN JULY Orders to U.S. factories for longlasting manufactured goods rose in July. The Department of Commerce said Wednesday orders for durable goods increased 2% in July after a 4.1% gain in June. Orders in a category that serves as a proxy for business investment expanded 2.2% in July after a 1.4% rise in June. These orders had fallen in four of the previous five months.

Big market sell-offs can turn into big profits for investors who are brave enough to jump in when others are freaking out. Ask investors who scored $173 billion — just Wednesday — from 10 stocks. Ten stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500, including online advertising company Google, digital gadget maker Apple and tech giant Microsoft, were up an average of 5.5% Wednesday, and the companies are big enough to generate massive paper gains to help repair a fraction of the damage suffered by investors.

The stock rose 8% to $659.74 a share Wednesday, adding back $32 billion into the pockets of investors in a single session. Interestingly, the stock is up 18% since the broad market’s May 21 peak. Digital gadget maker Apple gained 5.7% Wednesday to close at $109.69, giving investors some much-needed rest from the stock’s beatdown. Wednesday’s gains put back $33 billion back onto this much-watched stock’s value. But that, too, is a drop in the bucket of repairing the pain. Apple has lost $125 billion in market value — or 17% — since the market’s peak. That means Apple single-handedly has destroyed more value than any other stock in the S&P 500, even after Wednesday’s rally.

since the May 21 top. These 10 impressive stock rebounds — and the tremendous wealth they’ve created — highlight the huge stakes involved as investors try to gauge whether the market’s recent sell-off was a fleeting event or the start of something worse. The S&P 500, which had fallen into a correction and had been down 12% from its high Wednesday, has attracted buyers. The market measure is out of correction territory, yet it’s still down 8.8% from its high. Gains Wednesday from these 10 giant stocks help, but they are a drop in the bucket. The S&P 500 is down $1.6 trillion in value since the top. These 10 stocks, even after Wednesday’s rally, are down $183 billion from the market’s peak and are responsible for 11% of the market’s total losses. “There’s been a lot of sell programs, and when that selling dried up, there was nothing to put

Construction of homes and commercial buildings is up significantly this year, but the industry would be sizzling if not for a critical shortage of workers, industry officials say. The labor crunch is delaying projects, raising home prices and forcing companies to turn down work, which in turn curtails building activity and economic growth. Spot labor shortages began in 2012 as new construction slowly came to life following the 2000’s real estate crash. But they’ve spread across most of the country and have been accentuated this year by a strong recovery in both residential and commercial building. “I would go so far as to call it an epidemic,” says Jerry Howard, CEO of the National Association of Home Builders. Nearly 70% of home builders surveyed by his group in June reported a shortage of carpenters, for example, up from 63% a year ago. And in a July survey by Associated General Contractors, 86% of commercial builders said they’re having trouble filling hourly or salaried positions, up from 83% last year. Many construction workers left the industry during the downturn to become truck drivers, factory workers or roughnecks in the then-booming oil industry. Most aren’t returning even as building activity rebounds, Howard says. Housing starts have increased 11.3% so far this year compared with the same period in 2014 to a post-recession high, government figures show. And commercial construction spending rose 9.7% during the first half of 2015. Meanwhile, the pipeline of new workers has thinned over the

years. Many high schools have phased out shop classes, and parents increasingly have steered graduates to four-year colleges and white-collar careers. The Home Builders Institute, which does training, and local home builders groups recently have rolled out more instruction programs, but it takes 12 to 18 months for a new recruit to become a productive worker, Howard says.

“I would go so far as to call it an epidemic.” Jerry Howard, CEO, National Association of Home Builders

The shortage has pushed up labor costs. Average hourly earnings for construction workers were up 2.6% annually in July, compared to 2.1% for all U.S. workers, according to the Labor Department. Pay hikes are significantly higher for in-demand specialists, such as plumbers and electricians, in the South and other bustling areas. That, in turn, has helped drive up new home prices 5.7% on an annual basis over the past 12 months, according to the homebuilders group. The worker shortage also has crimped new-home inventories

for move-up buyers, causing a domino effect that has curtailed supplies of existing homes for first-time buyers, Howard says. The limited housing supplies have nudged up prices, he says. Kent Conine, owner of homebuilder Conine Residential Group in Dallas, says his single-family homes, which typically take six months to build, are being delayed about two months because worker shortages limit the availability of subcontractors. Competition for workers is so intense, he says, that rivals routinely poach his workers by offering small increases in pay. “We’re getting projects raided all the time,” he says. Conine, who expects to build about 25 homes this year, says he would complete about 35 if enough workers were available. He says his labor costs and home prices have increased about 20% the past year. Commercial contractor John Finch, co-owner of PBG Builders in Nashville, says he’s hiring fewer skilled workers and more supervisors to oversee them, but that has increased his labor costs about 10% over the past year. Finch, who builds throughout the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic region, says he could increase his revenue by 50% this year if he had enough skilled workers.

Another wild day for the markets — with the Dow surging more than 600 points as investors bet money that the Fed won’t raise interest rates at its next meeting in September. Nonetheless, judging by the massive selling earlier in the week, Wall Street may be realizing stocks are too richly valued. Buckle up. The volatility is unlikely to end anytime soon. Here’s where we stand: The U.S. economy is barely growing, earnings growth from corporate America is being achieved increasingly through creative accounting (aka financial engineering) rather than top line sales growth and our global economy is anemic — at best. China’s growth is a shadow of its former self, and Europe is still reeling from the aftershocks of its debt crisis. Latin America is dependent on the sale of commodities for the health of its economies — but, with oil at less than $40 a barrel, and the rest of the commodity space also weakening, Latin-American nations are feeling the pressure. In sum? There’s a lot to worry about. The Chinese are attempting to take a page out of Fed chief Janet Yellen’s playbook, trying to revive growth by lowering rates and theoretically making it easier for investors to borrow. The move may temporarily help the Chinese stock market, but ultimately investors know that aggressively lowering rates can lead to the unintended consequences of asset bubbles, rather than good ol’ fashioned growth. After all, isn’t that what is happening here? Stocks have been on a tear — defying bleak U.S. economic fundamentals for more than six years. Unable to earn returns in traditional investments, U.S. investors’ appetite for risk has grown to unsupported levels. As such, no one is valuing companies for what they’re really worth, but rather, what they’re worth with the backing of the Fed. Investors are like drug users, and the Fed is their dealer. The Fed needs to get rates off zero, but with all the risk on the horizon, Yellen also needs to calm the Fed-addicted markets. She recognizes the danger of a Fedinduced asset bubble — and has cited her concern about valuations in the stock market. So, what’s the Fed to do? We’ll find out at its next meeting announcement Sept. 17. But get ready for a wild ride. Trish Regan anchors “The Intelligence Report with Trish Regan” daily at 2 p.m. ET on Fox Business Network.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

Wall Street will be watching to see if the Dow’s rally of more than 600 points Wednesday was more than a one-day wonder. Sure, Wednesday’s relief rally, the blue-chip stock gauge’s best one-day point gain since the dark days of the financial crisis in fall 2008, was welcomed by traders and investors around the globe. But it won’t mean much if the Dow stumbles anew Thursday, raising fresh questions about the stability of the stock market following its worst meltdown in four years due to global growth fears sparked by a slowdown in China. What Wall Street wants to see is a follow-through. Traders want to see the Dow rally again. They want to see high trading volume

on an up day. They want to see a second day of gains in a row. They want to see the bulls return in force. If the Dow relapses, it could signal more trouble ahead and undue a lot of the positives from the Dow’s massive rally into Wednesday’s close. In short, Wall Street wants to see the gains stick. They want to see the losses from the Dow’s recent peak shrink. They want to get a better5-day feeling the avg.: about+X.XX market, rather than fear next 6-month avg.:the-X.XX rout.

Having right portfolio pays off in long term

Q: How do I stop worrying during corrections? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: It’s easy to feel like a stock market genius during bull markets. But when the correction comes — and it will come — the doubts creep in. Investors who confidently toss their 401(k) statements in the trash each quarter — during a correction — tally their losses. Investors who bragged about the hot tech and biotech stocks they owned might sell in panic. People who normally don’t pay much attention to their retirement accounts, during a correction, wonder if they need to do something. Corrections are a great chance to gauge how you would feel if the market were to go into an extended bear market. If you’re feeling uneasy about a 10% decline from a bull market top, imagine how much worse you’ll feel if there’s a protracted period of 20% losses — or worse. The answer? If you’re buying individual stocks, you should know at what price you would sell at the time you buy the stock. If you’re not trading individual stocks, you still need to build a diversified portfolio you will be comfortable with over the long term. If you have the right portfolio for the long term, shortterm swings shouldn’t bother you much. If they do, your portfolio is wrong, and it’s time to adjust it.

Ford ponders revival of Ranger, Bronco for U.S. drivers Alisa Priddle and Nathan Bomey

Detroit Free Press and USA TODAY

Ford is considering re-entering the small pickup truck segment by bringing the Ranger back to the USA and also may reintroduce the Bronco sport-utility vehicle, according to several reports. Ford is weighing building the Ranger later this decade at the Michigan Assembly Plant near Detroit, The Detroit News reported. The company may revive the

COLIN MILEMAN FOR FORD

The Ford Ranger pickup is a strong seller in the rest of the world.

Bronco nearly two decades after the vehicle was phased out in the wake of the infamous O.J. Simpson chase in a white Bronco on national TV, according to Bloom-

berg and Automotive News. The automaker has declined to discuss the reports. Potential production of the Ranger and Bronco may be a subject of negotiations between Ford and the United Auto Workers. Hourly worker contracts expire in September and talks are ongoing. The company has been without an offering in the small pickup category, in which the Ranger competes, as gas prices contracted. General Motors in 2014 introduced new midsize pickup trucks, the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon, and Toyota recently overhauled the Tacoma.

Ford discontinued the Ranger in 2011, throwing its weight in the pickup segment behind the larger F-series lineup, still the most popular vehicle in the U.S. If Ford brings the Ranger to the Michigan Assembly Plant, it would in part replace production of the Focus compact, Focus electric car, C-Max hybrid and C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid, which likely are moving to Mexico plants. The company has insisted it won’t close the Wayne, Mich., plant, which employs about 4,500 workers, and that it will build future, unidentified products there. “We actively are pursuing fu-

ture vehicle alternatives to produce at Michigan Assembly and will discuss this issue with UAW leadership as part of the upcoming negotiations,” Ford spokeswoman Kristina Adamski said in a statement. UAW spokesman Brian Rothenberg said he was not aware of talks involving the Ranger being produced at the Michigan Assembly plant. The expectation is Ford will choose to make larger or more expensive vehicles in Michigan with a higher profit margin while shifting production of lower-margin small cars south where labor costs are lower.

LIFELINE MAKING WAVES

KRIS CONNOR, GETTY IMAGES

Josh Duggar has checked into rehab after calling himself “the biggest hypocrite ever” last week. A statement on the former ‘19 Kids and Counting’ reality show family’s website announced that Duggar has checked himself into a “long-term treatment center,” but it does not specify for what. The news comes after his confession last week to cheating on his wife and being addicted to pornography (though his original statement was later amended to remove the references to porn). Duggar also was caught with an account on the Ashley Madison adultery website. This followed revelations in May that he had molested five underage girls, including his sisters, when he was a teenager in Arkansas.

SPORTS LIFE AUTOS CELINE DION: TRAVEL RENÉ HOPES TO

‘DIE IN MY ARMS’ Marco R. della Cava @marcodellacava USA TODAY

LAS VEGAS For Celine Dion, her year-long hiatus from a lucrative Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace was all about making the right choices in life. Now, after caring for her husband, René Angélil, 73, who’s battling throat cancer, she’s returning to the Strip for another extended run that starts Thursday night. That, too, was the right choice, she says — because Angélil insisted his wife return to what she loves. “I didn’t want to be here at first,” Dion, 47, tells USA TODAY. “I love singing for people, but I have priorities. “All my grieving, it was during this last year. I think I’ve got this. For now.” At this point, it is clear that her partner of many decades — Dion met Angélil when she was 12, and he later became her manager and, in 1994, her husband — is fighting for his life. After a series of procedures in Boston hospitals, he is now living at the family’s Las Vegas home. The past months have been filled with many emotional conversations between Dion and the man she calls “the only boyfriend I’ve ever had.” The singer says her default approach is to be strong, but sometimes Angélil “needs something more sensitive than that. Sometimes he just wants me to enter into a different place with him.” Dion’s voice gets soft. “I’ll say: ‘You’re scared? I understand. Talk to me about it.’ ” She pauses. “And René says to me, ‘I want to die in your arms.’ OK, fine, I’ll be there, you’ll die in my arms.” She has dutifully taken notes when Angélil has spelled out the details of his funeral. Dion isn’t sure whether Angélil will attend her show’s debut, and if he can’t, he’ll watch a live feed at the house. “That first show, it will be fragile,” she says, dabbing at her eyes. “There will be moments. Of emptiness, laughter, awkwardness, tearing up. But that’s the point of coming back.”

STEVE MARCUS FOR USA TODAY

Salander will catch you in riveting ‘Web’ THE GIRL IN THE SPIDER’S WEB eeee David Lagercrantz Knopf 416 pp.

Rest easy, Lisbeth Salander fans — our punk hacker heroine is in good hands. Since inking their BOOK way into the cultural REVIEW zeitgeist, The Girl PATRICK With the Dragon RYAN Tattoo and its sequels have sold 80 million copies worldwide and spawned popular Swedish and American film adaptations. So it was little surprise when a new installment was announced earlier this year, despite original author Stieg Larsson’s death of a heart attack in 2004. Naturally, some Millennium trilogy readers may approach The Girl in the Spider’s Web (on sale in the USA Sept. 1) with cautious intrigue — after all, a character as audaciously complex as Salander can’t be entrusted to just anyone. But Swedish crime novelist David Lagercrantz takes the reins with prowess, not only mimicking Larsson’s shamelessly pulpy prose but admirably expanding the deliciously depraved

MAGNUS LIAM KARLSSON

world of the novels. Set a few years after The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest — in which Salander was cleared of murder charges and reconciled with onetime lover Mikael Blomkvist — Spider’s Web picks up with a crumbling Millennium magazine, no longer an apex of muckraking reporting. Blomkvist hasn’t landed a big scoop

since the Harriet Vanger exposé in Dragon Tattoo and is considered out of step with modern journalism. He even has inspired a mocking Twitter hashtag, #inblomkvistsday. But the gruff newsman isn’t washed up for long. Late one night, Blomkvist is urgently called to the home of scientist Frans Balder, only to find him shot in cold blood and his mute, autistic son the only witness to the murder. From there, Blomkvist reconnects with Salander and enlists her hacking finesse to uncover why someone would want to kill Balder, a tortured father and developer of artificial intelligence. What transpires is a twisty, bloody thrill ride as a larger conspiracy unravels, involving the NSA, Russian mobsters and Salander’s estranged twin sister, Camilla. All of which is seamlessly woven together by Lagercrantz — in fact, if you hadn’t seen his name on the book jacket, you’d likely assume it was Larsson’s own handiwork. Like Larsson, Lagercrantz

throws brevity to the wind as he lays out the mechanics of the plot and details everyday minutiae. (In case you’d forgotten, Salander still loves her frozen Billy’s Pan Pizzas). The book becomes an instant page-turner midway through, when Salander sets off with Balder’s autistic son, August. She helps him hone his savant talents (equations and mathematically precise drawings) in an effort to track down his father’s killer. Lagercrantz’s real triumph is the care with which he handles Salander, whose vengeful, unsettling demeanor could easily become a caricature of Larsson’s original creation. With Spider’s Web, Lagercrantz manages to get further under her skin and deepen her back story, revealing more about her tragic upbringing and abusive father, a criminal kingpin. And it’s impossible not to crack a smile as she brutally cuts “men who hate women” down to size — an empowering Salander through-line in the series. With any luck, Lagercrantz already is firing up his tattoo gun for the next spellbinding adventure.

Jayhawks make-believe it’s game week By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL COACH DAVID BEATY GIVES A DIRECTIVE to his players from across the field during practice Wednesday.

The opening game of the Kansas University football season is just nine days away. But you’d never know it from watching the Jayhawks work this week at practice. “We are simulating a game week,” first-year KU coach David Beaty said Wednesday. “It is a carbon copy. The tempo might be a little slower because we’re doing a lot more talking.” The reason for all of the

Kansas hoops to bask in glow of TV

talking by Beaty and his coaching staff is to provide players, many of them inexperienced and unproven, as much knowledge as they can about how things go when the season arrives for real so they won’t be overwhelmed. To that end, Beaty’s practice schedule this week has unfolded just as it would if the Jayhawks had a game Saturday. Monday was a light day. Tuesday was the toughest day. Wednesday dealt with preparation and game-plan-

ning, and today was to be more of the same. “We feel like we can become a lot better team by becoming a smarter team,” Beaty said. So the Jayhawks are leaving no details unaddressed. From what time they’ll watch film to what they’ll wear and when and what they’ll eat for pregame meal, the Jayhawks are treating this week just the same as they’ll treat 12 of the next 13 weeks, with the only exception being the bye week in mid-September.

Beaty said having an extra week to prepare for the Sept. 5 season opener against South Dakota State — 11 a.m. kickoff at Memorial Stadium — gave the Jayhawks an advantage. Not only do they get extra time to conduct what Beaty referred to as “a dry run,” but they also get an extra seven days to scout the Jackrabbits. Beaty and company have put their heads together to come up with every possible scenario the Jayhawks Please see FOOTBALL, page 3C

Cueto’s cutters can’t cut it ————

Starter struggles again in Royals’ 8-5 setback to Orioles

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — There were two things in common with the pitches Johnny Cueto threw to Chris Davis, Manny Machado and Jonathan Schoop: They all began as cutters, and they all ended up as two-run homers. Cueto struggled for the second consecutive start Wednesday night, and the Baltimore Orioles hit five home runs during an 8-5 victory over the Kansas City Royals that snapped a sixgame skid. “It feels a little weird bePlease see HOOPS, page 3C cause it doesn’t happen to

me very often,” Cueto said of back-to-back bad starts, which included a loss at Boston in which he allowed a career-high 13 hits. Cueto (9-9) gave up 10 hits and a walk over five innings against Baltimore. “I’m not a robot,” he said. “Just have to keep working, get ready for the next one.” Steve Pearce made it 7-3 with a solo shot in the eighth for Baltimore. Mike Moustakas kept the Royals close with a two-run homer off Brian Matusz in the bottom half of the inning, but Ryan Flaherty answered with the

Orioles’ fifth homer leading off the ninth. Zach Britton got three outs for his 30th save. Wei-Yin Chen (8-6) allowed three runs for the Orioles while scattering nine hits over six innings.

Packers fans and fantasy football owners cringed Monday when it was confirmed Jordy Nelson will be lost for the season due to a torn ACL in his right knee suffered in an exhibition game in Pittsburgh. “It’s difficult to lose a guy like that in a meaningless game,” quarterback Aaron Rodgers told reporters Sunday. But it’s impossible to call games that generate 20 percent of ticket revenue for NFL owners “meaningless.” Some teams have gone to variable pricing in which exhibition tickets cost less, but the bottom line remains the same for season-ticket holders who in turn pay more for the eight regular-season games. Nonetheless, the recent spate of high-profile injuries has sparked discussion about the value of the exhibition season. In the same game Sunday, the Steelers lost four-time Pro Bowl center Maurkice Pouncey to an ankle injury that will require surgery. He could return during the season. The Vikings will be without right tackle Phil Loadholt, who suffered a season-ending torn Achilles tendon in the second exhibition. Panthers wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin was lost to a torn ACL in a joint practice with the Dolphins last week. Nelson’s injury occurred without contact, meaning his ACL might have blown while turning to run upfield in individual drills last week. “It is very unfortunate there have been a litany of guys that have gone down in preseason, and unfortunately some for extended periods of time with serious things,” Bears right guard Kyle Long said. “It is a subject that is under a lot of discussion right now across the league among players and coaches, I would imagine, but it is a business and we understand that.” For years, some have suggested the exhibition schedule be reduced from four games to three or two. One idea to maintain the revenue stream has been to drop to two exhibitions and increase the regular-season schedule to 18 games, but players have balked at that proposal — because of safety issues. Count Bears coach John Fox as opposed to cutting into the exhibition slate. “Let’s say you go to three,” Fox said. “Well, now you’ve only got two,” referring to the trend of sitting out all starters in the final exhibition. “I kind of like it the way it is,” Fox said. “Otherwise, you cut down the opportunity to evaluate young players. If you do that, what is going to happen is when you are naturally evaluating your roster, you are going to keep more veteran players, guys you know better. That is not necessarily the right thing to do.” Chicago-based agent Mike McCartney has been on both sides. He represents players now but was a scout for the Bears and pro personnel director for the Eagles. “Most teams, most coaching staffs pretty much have their 53-man rosters at least in pencil before they even go to training camp,” McCartney said. “I’m not sure anything other than injuries will change it that much. I don’t believe we need four games to get ready for a 16-game schedule.” The fourth exhibition has been a pitfall for the Bears. Rex Tucker was an ascending guard in 2003 when he suffered a season-ending ankle injury.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS RUNNING BACK KNILE DAVIS runs against Arizona during a preseason game Aug. 15 in Glendale, Arizona.

Chiefs’ Davis could be key By Dave Skretta Associated Press Sports Writer

Kansas City, Mo. — There may be no more valuable player on the Kansas City Chiefs than Jamaal Charles, the gamebreaking running back with the slick moves and world-class speed. His success this season could be closely tied to that of Knile Davis. The Chiefs have given Charles a remarkably light load in training camp and preseason games in an effort to keep him healthy, and that has meant more work for Davis. But if his backup can be productive enough, the Chiefs may continue to give Charles a lighter load once games start to count, keeping Charles fresher over the 16-game grind than he has been the past couple of years. “You just want to see that steady No. 2 running back right now that can come in in a pinch or come in and give Jamaal some needed rest, and has that explosiveness,” Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson said. “He’s more of your downhill-type of runner.” In other words, he also gives the Chiefs that quintessential “thunder and lightning” look, not unlike they had with Charles and Thomas Jones a handful of years ago.

He certainly has proven to be a workhorse. When Charles was hurt last year against Denver and missed the following week at Miami, Davis ran 32 times for 132 yards and a touchdown. He also had 16 carries for 107 yards while splitting carries with Charles the following week in a drubbing of New England. But juxtaposed with two performances that set fantasy football afire, Davis also had plenty of forgettable games: 10 carries for 25 yards against San Francisco, 16 carries for 49 yards against St. Louis, nine for 11 yards against Oakland and nine for 23 against San Diego. Running the ball has never really been an issue for Davis, though. He proved he could do that just fine during a standout career at Arkansas. The big question has been his hands — his ability to catch the football and hang onto it. So to alleviate the concerns of Chiefs coach Andy Reid, Davis spent much of his offseason in Houston and Dallas, working out with trainers on his route-running and hands. He wanted to prove that in an offense that demands running backs to catch balls out of the backfield, the bruising running back with a downhill style can be a contributor. “That’s what Andy wants to see me do better,” Davis

said. “Come out of the backfield and run routes, be in the slot, be out wide, things like that. Be more versatile. I think I’ve worked on that and I think he can tell the difference, and I think he’s gaining confidence.” No need to wonder whether Reid can tell the difference. Just ask him. “We knew he was a good runner,” Reid said earlier this week. “In the pass game, I think he’s improved. He’s spent a lot of time working on that.” He’s gotten more time to work on it during the preseason. Through the first two games, Charles has been on the field for a total of 10 snaps — two in the opener in Arizona and eight last week against Seattle. He has yet to log a carry, touching the ball just three times on short passes. Meanwhile, Davis has been on the field 51 snaps, including 40 against the Seahawks, when he had 11 carries for 29 yards along with two catches. Things might change a bit Friday night when the Chiefs play Tennessee, the third preseason game typically being the dress rehearsal for the regular season. Reid said Wednesday that the starters will play three quarters, and that means Charles should finally get some work.

Vick accepts role as backup in Pittsburgh Pittsburgh — The crowd around the backup quarterback’s locker was three or four deep. Somewhere in the middle, underneath the bright lights that never seem to go away, Michael Vick spent 13 minutes answering the same questions that never seem to go away. Six years removed from the end of a federal prison sentence for his role in a dogfighting ring that changed his football career — and more importantly the arc of his life — Vick understands his mere presence in the NFL remains difficult for some. As the newest member of the Pittsburgh Steelers spoke Wednesday less than 24 hours after agreeing to a one-year deal, a handful of protesters armed with homemade signs gathered outside the team’s training complex to remind Vick of personal missteps he understands will follow him forever. One sign read: “Jail time is not enough.” “There still are some people who feel the same way about what happened,” Vick said. “But I think you’ve got to look at the bottom

Niners’ McDonald indicted San Francisco — A Santa Clara County grand jury has indicted former San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Ray McDonald on one count of rape of an intoxicated person. The announcement came Wednesday, with the indictment stemming from an incident last Dec. 15 at McDonald’s home. Current 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks also has been charged by the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office with misdemeanor sexual battery for an alleged assault the same day involving the same victim. The 49ers sent Brooks home from Colorado, where they are holding joint practices with the Broncos before playing a preseason game against Denver.

KU soccer’s Salazar motivated by snub By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

When Kansas University soccer standout Liana Salazar returned to her native Colombia this past summer, she figured her stay would be short, just a detour on her way to Canada. In 2011, as an 18-yearold, Salazar represented her country at the World Cup, in Germany. She headed home after her spring semester at KU earlier this year to try out for the Colombian national team again and intent on playing once more on a global stage. But when Las Cafeteras headed north for the World Cup, they did so with 23 players other than Salazar. So she spent her summer in Colombia and watched on TV as her compatriots went 1-11 without her.

Clearly disappointed in how it played out, all Salazar could say now is: “These things happen.” KU’s 5-foot-3 senior midfielder appeared in all three World Cup games for Colombia four years earlier and even started in a 3-0 loss to USA. But this time around, as a student living in Kansas, she couldn’t very well return home to compete in the qualification matches leading up to the headlining event. That hurt Salazar’s chances, primarily because those were the first games for Colombia under new national-team coach Fabian Taborda, who took over in July, 2014. “Soccer-wise, I knew I was in a really good spot,” Salazar said of her thought process headed into the tryouts. However, when she didn’t make the roster, she realized

Salazar is a senior on Kansas University’s soccer team. Taborda’s unfamiliarity The whole ordeal rewith her probably kept mains a sore subject for her from adding to her the Bogotá native, but she international experience. realizes she can learn from

the experience. Plus, she returned to Kansas for her final fall semester on good terms with Colombia’s head coach. Taborda told her: “Just be ready. You’re gonna be called for the Olympic Games.” A summer trip to Rio de Janeiro might be on the horizon for 2016, but Salazar tries to keep herself in the present. “I’m still super-young, and looking forward I think I’m gonna have more time to think about the next World Cup or Olympic Games or that kind of stuff,” she said. “Right now I’m just thinking about Kansas, Kansas soccer, and that’s all that matters.” Though the Jayhawks began the season 0-11, by going scoreless in two road games this past weekend, they know having Salazar means that trend likely won’t last. After scoring 13 goals and

passing out four assists as a junior, she was one of 28 players nationwide to make the watch list for the Missouri Athletic Club’s Hermann Trophy, considered the most prestigious award in college soccer. Salazar also was named to TopDrawerSoccer.com’s “Best XI” preseason first team. “As a team, we really want to win the Big 12,” Salazar said of KU’s expectations for the next couple of months. “We think we are capable of doing that.” She also listed a second straight NCAA Tournament berth as a goal for the Jayhawks. “I really want to enjoy my senior year and give all I have to the program,” Salazar said. “And after that, in December or January, I’m gonna start thinking about the national team.”

No new RB Despite an enormous amount of fuss made about a workout video posted to the Instagram account of KU student DeVonte Wilson, the Jayhawks do not have a new running back on the roster. Wilson’s videos, which show him running through a series of impressive workouts that display his raw athleticism and strength, went viral Tuesday and caused confusion over his athletic status. However, Beaty con-

top six Free State golfers graduated after helping the team to 10th place in last year’s Class 6A state tournament. “Anne is a mature young lady, and she’s handled this situation great,” Meyer said. “She’s handled it wonderfully. I don’t know if that has weighed on her at all. She might feel a little more pressure being our only varsity golfer. “But I know she would probably tell you that didn’t factor into her play today. She just didn’t hit the ball as well as she could have. Those days happen.” Mill Valley junior Meg Green won the Cat Classic, firing a 78. She shot a tournament-best 39 on the front nine. She said it was the first tournament she has ever won outright and credited her coach, Drew Walters, and swing coach Daniel Lee with her impressive start to the season. “My irons were really strong,” Green said. “I made solid contact with the ball, and the putting was pretty good as well.” Mill Valley/De Soto (a co-op team) took second

firmed Wednesday that Wilson, who sources said explored the idea of walking on in the spring, is not a part of the KU program and there are no plans to add him to the roster.

Walk-on lineman JayhawkSlant.com is reporting that Timmy Hamilton, a three-star defensive end from Coffeyville Community College who initially committed to Arizona last November, has decided to join the Jayhawks as a walk-on. Hamilton, who stands 6-foot-4, 250 pounds and has been clocked in the range of a 4.7-second 40yard dash, had scholarship offers from Arizona, Illinois, Iowa State, Louisiana Tech and several other programs. Hamilton grew up in the Wichita area and attended Kapaun Mt. Carmel High, and former KU defensive end Michael Reynolds, a Kapaun grad, praised Hamilton’s pick of the Jayhawks on Twitter earlier this week. Captains coming Beaty said Wednesday the team would vote for captains following Friday’s practice. On Tuesday, the Jayhawks voted for this year’s leadership council, which functions as an extension of the captains. And Beaty said both groups would be crucial to the success of the program. “This is their team,”

place in the team standings, finishing six strokes behind St. James Academy. MVHS sophomore Bella Hadden placed second in the tournament with an 80. “It’s great because we lost our top scorer last year, Brittani (Jenson), who was a senior,” Green said of the team score. “It’s pretty good that we took second place without her.” Mill Valley’s Claire Anderson added a 100, and Courtney Carlson shot a 101. Wednesday at Alvamar Team scores: 1. St James, 353; 2. Mill Valley/De Soto, 359; 3. Topeka Hayden, 400; 4. Jefferson West, 416; 5. Shawnee Mission Northwest, 420; 6. Shawnee Mission South, 430; 7.

Beaty said. “So they’re going to be heavily involved in the things that we do, within reason.” Beaty added that the title of team captain carried with it a great deal of respect and responsibility. “We consider (that) to be one of the biggest (honors) you could ever receive in your college career, to be called a captain at Kansas,” he said. “We’ve been talking to (the players) for a couple of weeks now to make sure they’re not just putting a name down, that they’re really thinking about it.”

Rutgers coach in trouble? According to a report from nj.com and NJ Advance Media, Rutgers football coach Kyle Flood could face a punishment as severe as a suspension or firing because of questions pertaining to contact with a faculty member about the status of one of his players. The university is investigating the alleged violation and is paying particular attention to an email sent by Flood to a faculty member regarding the status of cornerback Nadir Barnwell, who, according to the report, is in danger of being declared academically ineligible. The Jayhawks are scheduled to play Rutgers Sept. 26 in New Jersey.

game,” Chen said through a translator. “Hopefully we can move up from here.” The Orioles had lost nine straight to the Royals, and appeared to be in trouble again when they failed to score with runners on the corners and nobody out in the second inning. In the bottom half, Moustakas hit a sacrifice fly and Salvador Perez an RBI double to stake Kansas City to a 2-0 advantage that could have been more substantial. The inning ended when Omar Infante ran past Paulo Orlando on a flyout, resulting in Infante also being called out. Moments later, the Orioles started to showcase their power. Baltimore tied the game in the third on Machado’s two-run shot, then pulled ahead in the fourth when Schoop clobbered his two-run homer an estimated 427 feet to left field. Davis, who was in an 0-for-16 slump coming into the game, made it three straight innings with a two-run shot when he went deep in the fifth. The big first baseman’s 35th home run of the season sailed into the left-field bullpen and gave Baltimore a 6-2 advantage. Kansas City clawed back with a run in the sixth when Kendrys Morales hit an RBI single, but Chen calmly retired Moustakas and Perez to prevent more damage. The Royals suffered only their third loss in 15 games at Kauffman Stadium.

I did not receive one personally, nor have I received an invitation. Am I required to attend? I honestly don’t want to. The third invitation is for a couple that I am good friends with. The groom recently texted that he expects me to be at their wedding in September, but I have not received any “save the date” or invitation yet. The bride made a Facebook page last

Chill out with North Pole shows The Science Channel focuses on one of cable television’s more curious obsessions: life in the frozen north. While many students and their parents are packing their bags for college, “How It’s Made” (8:30 p.m.) presents a checklist for those planning a life in the vast emptiness of the Alaskan wilderness. They’re not the only tough guys provisioning for a harsh winter. Eustace shows how to obtain supplies and food on “Mountain Men” (8 p.m., History). Of course, life in the subArctic is a tad easier with electricity. The docuseries “Power and Ice” (9 p.m., History) follows workers from three Alaskan utility companies as they strive to keep the kilowatts flowing in the most frigid conditions.

Looking for something a little more engaging set in the northern latitudes? Starting today, you can stream the entire first season of “Fargo” on Hulu. This FX series, inspired by the bloody 1996 Coen brothers’ black comedy, was simply the best of 2014. If Billy Bob Thornton emerged as the devil himself, Martin Freeman was the Faustian character caught in his web. The show’s breakout star, Allison Tolman, played a quietly diligent policewoman overlooked by her incompetent superior (Bob Odenkirk). Her devotion to her dad (Keith Carradine) and her crush on a fellow officer (Colin Hanks) provided a deep humanity to balance the show’s dark comedic bloodbath. As dark and even cruel as the show could be, it also asked viewers to feel fondly protective toward her character. “Fargo” even had a place for Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key (“Key & Peele”) as FBI flunkies clearly inspired by Rosencrantz and Guildenstern from “Hamlet.” ‘‘Fargo” returns to FX for a second season on Oct. 12, with a new cast that includes Patrick Wilson, Ted Danson, Jean Smart and Kirsten Dunst. Set in 1979, it will explore the backstory of some of the characters from the first season. Tonight’s other highlights

Roger Moore stars in the

1981 James Bond adventure “For Your Eyes Only” (7 p.m., BBC America).

The San Francisco 49ers host the Dallas Cowboys in preseason NFL action (7 p.m., NFL).

The resistance hurries to beat Christine’s timetable on “Under the Dome” (9 p.m., CBS).

Andy mulls a lengthy undercover assignment on “Rookie Blue” (9 p.m., ABC).

Spike recycles four helpings of its biggest hit, “Lip Sync Battle” (8 through 9:30 p.m.).

year and said if people wanted to come, we should send her our addresses. Should I send her my address now or is it too late? I originally thought it was just for her family. Is everything done on Facebook now? Does no one send out paper invitations or keep a guest list? What is my responsibility when a person verbally expresses that I should attend, or posts something on Facebook saying I should “come to the wedding”? — Invitationally Challenged Dear Challenged: We can understand your confusion. Paper invitations are still appropriate. A “save the date” notice is not an invitation. A verbal expression is not an invitation. Facebook notices are

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, Aug. 27: This year others will remark about an odd coldness that seems to emanate from you. You will have occasions where you can choose to be happy, but whether you decide to follow through will be your choice. If you are single, you will be very popular. If you are attached, your sweetie sees through your cool behavior. The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You might have gone to bed knowing that endurance and hard work would be on the menu today. Tonight: Take a stand when making plans. Taurus (April 20-May 20) You might question whether you have done enough background work as you forge ahead on a major project. Tonight: Plan on a late bedtime. Gemini (May 21-June 20) You will need to understand what has happened behind the scenes before you jump to any conclusions. Tonight: Try a new type of cuisine. Cancer (June 21-July 22) You might want to consider several options that you have discounted in the past. Tonight: Listen to a loved one’s ideas. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You might want to say a lot, but you are not the lead person. Don’t worry — your time will

unreliable and informal, but if the bridal couple considers this an invitation, you may, also. Someone who says, “Send me your address if you want to be invited,” is too lazy to acquire your address and send a personal invitation. She expects her guests to do all of the work. But if you want to send her your address, even at this late date, that is entirely up to you. And of course, if you don’t wish to attend a wedding, it’s perfectly OK to RSVP with your regrets.
