As Uber gets rolling, city ponders regulations

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

Lawrence is now in the Uber debate.

On Thursday, the company expanded into four new Kansas cities: Lawrence, Leavenworth, Manhattan and Topeka. The

company already offered its service — linking riders with drivers through a mobile app — in Wichita, Kansas City, Kan., and adjacent Johnson County.

Lawrence City Hall officials have begun researching whether the city ought to create local regulations that would require

Uber drivers to meet background checks and maintain certain levels of insurance. The $40 billion company has vigorously fought those requirements in other communities.

“I think it will be a pretty considerable policy discussion,” said Brandon McGuire,

the assistant to the city manager who is responsible for overseeing the city’s taxi cab licensing ordinance.

That is, unless the Kansas Legislature beats city officials to the punch. State lawmakers already have approved legislation that would require background

checks by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation and minimum levels of insurance coverage for Uber drivers. But Gov. Sam Brownback has vetoed that legislation. Lawmakers will attempt to override the veto next week.

Topeka — Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration unveiled a package of modest budget adjustments Thursday but did not offer a comprehensive plan for filling an estimated $400 million revenue shortfall in next year’s budget.

Budget Director Shawn Sullivan outlined the governor’s proposed budget amendments in a meeting of the House Appropriations Committee. For the upcoming fiscal year that begins July 1, Brownback calls for a mere $27.1 million in spending reductions, largely from changes in Medicaid fees and restructuring bond payments, and Please see BUDGET, page 2A

LAWRENCE • STATE

Uber

Lawrence already was in the process of rewriting its aged taxi cab code. Last month city commissioners expressed support for a new code that increases the amount of insurance coverage required for taxi cab companies. But commissioners stopped short of approving the new code, in part because they wanted city staff members to include more specific language on what type of background checks are required for taxi cab drivers.

Since last month’s review of the taxi cab ordinance, three new commissioners have joined the City Commission.

The new commission hasn’t yet weighed in on the proposed changes.

Newly elected Commissioner Matthew Herbert said he wants to review the proposed changes in more detail.

“I don’t think we want to make them super intrusive,” Herbert said.

“We don’t want to run off a business. But I do think there needs to be a base level of regulation for public safety.”

Herbert said background checks of drivers certainly are an option. He said it would be difficult for the city to require background checks for traditional taxi cab drivers but not for Uber drivers.

“I do think they are pretty similar,” Herbert

said.

Bryan Sorenson, owner of Ground Transportation Services, said he’s fine with competing against Uber, as long as it is on a level playing field. Sorenson said the insurance issue is an important one, and so too is a requirement that cab companies be required to operate a certain number of hours per week.

He said if the city allows cab companies or ride-sharing companies to simply operate during the busy late-night bar scene, that will make it difficult for cab companies to profitably operate throughout the week. Sorenson said the large volume late-night service often subsidizes the more sporadic weekday service offered by taxi cab companies.

But he said the weekday service is an important community service to offer.

“I don’t like competing against people who have no intention of operating during the week when people need taken to a doctor’s appointment or to a job interview,” Sorenson said.

“That irks me.”

McGuire said he expects city commissioners will consider approving the proposed taxi cab ordinance in the next couple of weeks.

Revenue increases Republican leaders in the House indicated Thursday that it will probably take a

combination of spending cuts and revenue increases to fill the budget gap this year. But the focus is likely to be on revenue increases since Republican leaders in the House have committed to make no more changes in K-12 education funding, which consumes slightly more than half of all state spending.

“My position is to hold K-12 at a steady level and fulfill our promise that we made to them in our legislation earlier this year,” said Rep. Ron Ryckman, Jr. R-Olathe, who chairs the Appropriations Committee.

Rep. Marvin Kleeb, ROverland Park, who chairs the House Taxation Committee, said there may be an effort to scale back the scope, but not the basic policy, of the massive income tax cuts enacted in 2012 and 2013, which many analysts say are the cause of the current shortfall.

Kleeb cited recent reports by the Kansas Department of Revenue showing one of the most significant tax cuts, exempting “pass-through” income from sole proprietorships and other kinds of small businesses, went further than lawmakers had envisioned, and he said there may be interest in tweaking that law to limit the types of businesses that can claim the exemption.

“I don’t think we’re going to raise taxes, but there will probably be a review of legislative intent of the small business aspect — reverting back to what we thought legislative intent was and getting that invoked in law,” Kleeb said.

Initially, revenue officials had thought the pass-

through exemption would daily by The World apply to about 190,000 sole Published Company at Sixth and New proprietorships and small Hampshire streets, Lawrence, KS corporations.

THURSDAY’S Duane Goossen, who KANSAS PICK 3 served as budget director 5 5 5 for more than 12 years under both Republican and Democratic administrations, said the budget crisis facing Kansas this year is the most serious he has ever seen.

that the statewide highway system will continue to exceed the agency’s benchmarks for road and bridge safety.

The report from the Center for Economic Growth painted a more pessimistic picture.

“While we’ve maintained a commitment to the scheduled expansion plans — the projects that result in new bridges, roads, etc.

— we have fallen behind on taking care of the roads and bridges that lead to the new expansion projects,” the report said.

The think tank describes itself as a, “nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that conducts research and analysis to promote balanced state policies that help ensure all Kansans prosper.”

The group is headed by

Annie McKay, a former research analyst with Kansas University’s Institute for Educational Research and Public Service and the Kansas Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence.

Duane Goossen, a former budget director under Republican Gov. Bill Graves and Democratic Govs. Kathleen Sebelius and Mark Parkinson, is a senior fellow for the center.

The T-Works program was adopted in 2010. It originally called for a 10year program that included major roadway expansions, including some designed to spur economic development in parts of the state; road and bridge maintenance; preservation programs; and a small amount reserved for other modes of

transportation such as urban mass transit and local airport improvements.

Originally estimated to cost about $8 billion, the program is funded with a combination of motor fuel taxes, sales taxes and vehicle registration fees.

Since the program’s enactment, state legislators have routinely dipped into that fund to make up for shortfalls in general state revenues, beginning with the Great Recession in 2008-2010, and continuing through more recent years when revenues fell even more sharply after Gov. Brownback and the Republican-controlled Legislature enacted sweeping tax cuts after the recession.

Since 2011, according to information from KDOT, more than $1.3 billion has

If the veto is overridden and the bill becomes law, Lawrence may not need to approve any new regulations for Uber.

McGuire said Lawrence’s current taxi cab licensing ordinance does not cover “ride sharing services” such as Uber. While Uber uses higher-tech methods to dispatch drivers and collect payments, the service is similar to a taxi cab company in one important way: People enter into someone else’s vehicle with the expectation that the driver will safely deliver them to their destination. McGuire said that creates the question of whether Uber and other ride-sharing services should meet the same type of requirements as taxi cab companies.

The issue has been heavily debated in Kansas City, Mo., where Uber had threatened to leave the market if background check and insurance regulations were enacted. Uber and Kansas City reached an agreement Thursday, according to the Kansas City Star, in which the city agreed to reduce proposed fees for individual drivers and Uber agreed to provide driver background check information.

only $942,000 in additional revenue from state-owned casinos.

Most of those changes are the result of new estimates announced earlier in the week on expected state revenues and the cost of state-funded health care and social services for the poor and elderly.

“We’ve had since Monday morning to know what the updated revenue numbers were, to know what the impact was, so we can’t put out a comprehensive budget plan of reductions between a Monday and a Thursday,” Sullivan said.

He said the administration does not plan to put forth another plan before the end of the 2015 legislative session. Instead, he said the administration will continue to work with the Legislature as the House and Senate try to hammer out a budget deal.

Rep. Barbara Ballard, D-Lawrence, who serves on the committee, said she was surprised Brownback’s office didn’t offer a more detailed solution. She also said she believes the state will have to raise taxes to fill the budget gap.

“We have to increase revenue, new revenue somewhere. It’s too big of a hole, and it’s going to get worse as we progress,” Ballard said.

money threaten parts of the state’s 10-year comprehensive highway program known as T-Works.

“This shell game is unsustainable and not without costs — the money we borrow must be repaid with interest, and the projects we are delaying indefinitely will be costlier to address as maintenance issues go unaddressed year after year,” the Kansas Center for Economic Growth said in a report released Thursday.

But Kansas Department of Transportation officials said they are confident that all of the projects in the T-Works program will be

completed, although there may be delays in some highway “preservation” projects that are meant to prevent the need for costlier major repairs in future years.

KDOT spokesman Steve Swartz said Thursday that the agency typically sets aside about $445 million each year for preservation projects. But because of recent “sweeps” out of the highway fund to shore up the general fund, that will be reduced next year to just $177 million.

But Kent Olson, KDOT’s director of fiscal and asset management, said later that the agency is only delaying scheduled preservation projects.

“Some may be moved out to the later years of TWorks,” Olson said, adding

Of that, about $550 million has been for routine transportationrelated expenses, including Kansas Highway Patrol funding, but the remainder has been to shore up the state general fund to make up for shortfalls in other sources of revenue.

In January, lawmakers approved sweeping $103 million out of the fund to help fill a projected $280 million budget gap for the current fiscal year. And for each of the next two fiscal years, Gov. Brownback has proposed sweeping another $139 million.

at least.

But the time that went into planning this year’s Big Event at Kansas University, the thousands of volunteers at the ready and hundreds of property owners who were counting on their help won’t.

Organizers say their top suggestion for the leaders of next year’s Big Event will be to build in a big contingency plan.

Billed as a day to give back to the community in a big way, KU’s fifth annual Big Event was expected to involve more than 3,600 volunteers helping with projects at 311 homes and other sites across Lawrence on Saturday. However, a forecast of storms prompted organizers to call off the

It’s not being rescheduled.

“I wish that we could help everyone that we agreed to help,” she said.

But because of its magnitude and with just a few weeks left in the semester, it would have been “almost impossible to recreate the event.”

Defense attorney change causes retrial delay in murder case

By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

The retrial of a Lawrence man whose first-degree murder case ended with a hung jury was scheduled for August after a new attorney was appointed to the defense Thursday.

Prosecutors allege that Dustin D. Walker, 30, and co-defendant Archie Robinson Walker kicked the door into 37-year-old Patrick Roberts’ Lawrence home around 3 a.m. March 8, 2014, pointed a handgun at Roberts’ son and entered Roberts’ bedroom

to steal cash or marijuana. Walker then shot Roberts during the crime, the prosecution alleges.

Walker was found guilty of an aggravated burglary charge in the case Feb. 16, but jurors could not decide whether the Lawrence resident was guilty of felony firstdegree murder, which is when a killing occurs during the commission of an inherently dangerous felony.

Co-defendant Robinson was found guilty of both charges in March and Please see TRIAL, page 4A

Trial

sentenced earlier this month to 20 years to life in prison.

Defense attorney Sarah Swain claimed during the trial that Roberts invited Walker and Robinson over to buy marijuana.

The two were purchasing an eighth of an ounce of marijuana when Roberts’ brother, Wayne Roberts, tackled Robinson, Swain said. Walker testified during his trial that Robinson was holding the gun when he was tackled and the firearm shot Patrick Roberts during the struggle.

On Thursday, Swain asked District Judge Paula Martin to be appointed to Walker’s new case because Walker’s family “essentially could not pay” for representation on the first case she worked a n d would not be able to COURTS for the second.

Court-appointed attorneys receive $62 an hour from the state for work on felony cases, according to Patricia Scalia, executive director of the Kansas State Board of Indigents Defense Services.

Martin denied her request because Swain usually does not take courtappointed clients.

“Because you’re not on the appointment list, the request is denied,” Martin said. “It’s not a good precedent to set to be retained when the money runs out.”

The appointment list is a list of attorneys who have signed up to take cases in which defendants cannot afford to pay. Those attorneys are paid by the state. Attorneys on the appointment list generally cannot pick and choose which cases they take.

Swain told Walker and the court that she “did not seek to be removed from the case,” but because of her case load she could not take on Walker’s case without pay. Martin appointed attorney Blake Glover to represent Walker in Swain’s place.

Glover said he’d need “60 to 90 days” to prepare for trial so he can acquaint himself with Walker’s case. The trial, previously set to begin in May, was rescheduled for Aug. 17. It is expected to last five days.

“But he was just getting started,” Linton said. After moving on from KU, “Bob found his niche.”

Dotson — with humor, and TV-polished delivery — shared anecdotes of a railroad station janitor, a man no one had heard of who was responsible for establishing a national park, a tiny town with a big will to survive, as well as his own parents and grandparents.

addressed the crowd, largely on the issue of education.

In particular, Rhoden stressed the importance of knowing our culture’s history as a way of making forward progress.

“I believe the black community is under siege,” he said, before citing prominent black U.S. celebrities, athletes and politicians.

“But that hides the fact that we, our community, are losing ground,” he added. “While a few of us are doing well, a larger number than ever are not doing so well.”

Besides logistics, liability prevented them from coordinating volunteer groups to work at sites on other days, said Wilkin and KU senior Michael Huff, Big Event director of internal affairs.

Each homeowner signed a liability waiver and underwent a site safety check prior to the event, Huff said. Vol-

of storytelling, Dotson said, he learned important lessons through the people he interviewed.

Americans who thrive embrace differences, they are pioneers, and they keep their promises, he said.

Dotson said his work isn’t simply “good news” journalism. Rather, he said, he aims to do an “investigative report” on seemingly ordinary people, because often they’re the ones with solutions to today’s big problems.

“Wisdom doesn’t always wear a suit,” Dotson said.

The William Allen White Foundation has

bestowed its National Citation annually since 1950 to an outstanding journalist. White, for whom the KU journalism school is named, was a nationally influential editor and publisher of The Emporia Gazette who won the Pulitzer Prize in 1923 and posthumously in 1947.

Also during Thursday’s William Allen White Day event, the journalism school presented its annual student awards and scholarships ceremony.

Journal-World reporting intern Rochelle Valverde and copy editing intern Sylas May were among the honorees.

Rhoden’s address was followed by the introduction of the event’s panel of current and former KU athletes: Willie Amison, Tamra Gibson, Rhavean King, Reggie Mitchell, Eric Patterson, Tommie Smith and Darrell Stuckey.

One man asked the panelists whether or not black athletes have a moral obligation to speak up on issues of race. King and Rhoden both agreed they do.

“I think a lot of the time people want to make student athletes one-dimensional,” King said. “And we have to break down that one-dimensional athlete or dumb jock stereotype.”

Several panel members spoke of culture

shock in relation to racism. King recalled a Thanksgiving trip home to Memphis, Tenn., and police officers stopping her as she was on a run, training to compete.

“I knew what had happened, but I didn’t know why it happened,” she said.

Although the panel’s question-and-answer session was the shortest portion of the evening, Patterson said he hopes the dialogue spills out into the community.

“We’ve provided the platform to have a dialogue,” he said. “And with a dialogue, you’re more likely to go out there and engage people. That’s the only way to induce change.”

unteers also had to sign waivers. The waivers were for a specific day.

Wilkin said the first four years of the Big Event at KU, which is funded by sponsorships and in-kind donations, enjoyed great weather and went off as planned.

Organizers for the 2016 Big Event are being selected this week, and Wilkin and Huff said one of their top suggestions for next year’s planning crew would be for them to build in a rain date. That would

probably include advertising a rain date so people involved would keep it open, as well as adapting waivers so they could be flexible.

In the meantime, Huff said organizers are referring 2015 Big Event volunteers who inquire to KU’s Center for Community Outreach for other volunteer opportunities.

BRIEFLY 4 students win visual art awards

2 charged with aggravated battery

Four Lawrence high school students have been recognized with awards for their work in the visual arts, the Lawrence Arts Center announced Thursday.

Kearston Mohney and Ian Sotomayor, of Lawrence High School, were given the 2015 Vanguard Award. The award is reserved for young artists who display remarkable talent, skill and originality.

Each Vanguard winner is given $1,200 to support their ongoing artwork.

Mohney was recognized for her work with two-dimensional art, while Sotomayor was recognized for his work with threedimensional art.

In addition, Emily Torres, of Lawrence High School, and Cale Ruiz, of Free State High School, were given the 2015 Trailblazer Award, the arts center announced.

The award recognizes young artists who have demonstrated high levels of quality, originality and skill in their work. Each Trailblazer winner is given $600 to continue their studies in the field.

Torres was recognized for her two-dimensional work, and Ruiz was recognized for his three-dimensional work.

All four winners will receive their awards publicly at the arts center today.

A Lawrence man and woman were charged Thursday in connection with a Jan. 4 altercation that left a 34-year-old Lawrence woman with “severe but non-life-threatening injuries,” Lawrence police spokeswoman Kim Murphree said.

Prosecutor Deborah Moody charged Lakitcia Marie Enclarde, 36, and Armond Dupree Enclarde, 35, with aggravated battery, claiming the alleged offense could have inflicted “great bodily harm, disfigurement or death,” according to court documents.

Murphree said the charges stem from an altercation that began with a verbal argument inside Fatso’s bar, 1016 Massachussetts St., and escalated to a physical fight after the group left the business. During the altercation, the victim was struck in the mouth.

Witnesses claimed they saw Armond Enclarde hit the victim, knocking her to the ground, and Lakitcia Enclarde then kicked the woman while she was down. It was unclear Thursday whether the two Enclardes were related.

Pro Tem Judge James George set both suspects’ bonds at $5,000. They remained booked in the Douglas County Jail as of 5 p.m. Thursday. They are set to appear next in court on April 29.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office could not provide booking photos Thursday.

Strategy shift

5A

Big political donors get first vote

By Doyle Mcmanus Los Angeles Times

The Lawrence chamber of commerce plans to revamp its strategy for recruiting new businesses while boosting efforts to support homegrown enterprises.

A

shift in Lawrence’s business recruitment strategy and budget seems like a reasonable response to a changing economic development environment.

In the budget it will present to city and county officials, the Lawrence chamber of commerce is proposing a boost in funding for a new program to support local business and a corresponding reduction in its spending on business recruitment efforts. The Chamber plans to dedicate $40,000 to a new program called BizFuel, which will work with the Lawrence Public Library and local economic development agencies to offer seminars and assistance for local small businesses or startup companies.

The Chamber also plans to cut in half, from $66,000 to $33,000, its business recruitment line item. The reduction will mean that local economic development officials will attend fewer conferences in an effort to meet site selectors and depend more on connections Lawrence has with the Kansas Department of Commerce and Kansas City Area Development Council.

Those agencies increasingly are the initial point of contact for companies that want to locate a large project in the area.

Working with Commerce and KCADC and making sure they know about the opportunities in Lawrence probably is a more productive use of local resources than trying to recruit large projects on our own. If Commerce and KCADC are impressed with what’s going on in Lawrence, they will be more likely to share their enthusiasm with inquiring businesses. Then, Lawrence officials need to be ready to roll out the welcome mat, present a compelling case for the community and close the deal.

Helping foster local businesses and startups is a good strategy for Lawrence. And, as always, local economic development officials need to be ready to take advantage of unexpected opportunities that arise perhaps because someone has a past connection to Kansas University or Lawrence.

Hopefully, with the completion of the Kansas Highway 10 loop around Lawrence and the availability of land in the new Lawrence VenturePark and new acreage that may be added for business and industrial development, officials will have many opportunities to sell Lawrence to new business prospects. The Chamber’s proposed spending shift will allow it to continue to recruit new businesses while also giving added support to new and expanding homegrown ventures.

The news that delivered the biggest jolt to the 2016 presidential campaign this week wasn’t anything the candidates said or did.

It was an offhand comment from a billionaire, David H. Koch, at a dinner of wealthy Republicans in New York.

“Scott Walker is terrific,” Koch told a reporter for the New York Observer. “He’s a tremendous candidate.”

The New York Times reported that Koch was essentially endorsing the Wisconsin governor as his favorite in the GOP race. It sounded as if the Koch primary, in which Republicans compete to unlock billions of dollars from a network of conservative donors, was over.

Until Koch walked it back, that is. “I am not endorsing or 23 car dealerships, has Marco supporting any candidate for Rubio. Robert Mercer, a New York hedge fund manager, Ted Cruz.

fundraising committees set up to promote individual candidates. That was a new and experimental idea when President Obama and Mitt Romney first tried it in 2012, but now everybody has one.

Cruz has four, each one directed by an individual mega-donor. Hillary Rodham Clinton has at least two.

On paper, a super PAC, which can take unlimited donations, can’t coordinate what it does with a candidate’s official campaign committee. In practice, there are plenty of ways around that rule. Bush, for example, just put his super PAC in the hands of Mark Murphy, who has worked for him in past elections; Murphy won’t have much difficulty figuring out what his television commercials should say, even if he can’t attend meetings at campaign headquarters.

But super PACs won’t just help a candidate amplify his message; they’ll also help determine who gets to be a candidate in the first place. A candidate with a billionaire in hand has a guaranteed place in early primaries even if he has neither grass-roots nor party support. (Think Newt Gingrich in 2012.) On the other hand, a candidate without billionaires may not be able to run a viable campaign at all. (Sen. Bernie Sanders, the independent Vermont socialist, said that problem is

weighing on him as he considers whether to run.)

Campaign finance reform has historically been a low priority for most Americans.

When the Pew Research Center asked voters in 2012 to rank their concerns, campaign finance was near the bottom.

This year could be different. Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg says public alarm is rising, and he’s advised candidates to put reform on their list of promises (as Clinton did last week).

It’s too late for significant changes this cycle. A constitutional amendment to reimpose contribution limits, which Clinton suggested she favors, would take years to pass. Democrats have proposed legislation to increase disclosure and provide federal matching funds for small donations, but their bills have stalled. Republicans have said they’d support more disclosure if all contribution limits were abolished, but that proposal isn’t moving either.

If, however, voters demand change from the candidates, it’s just possible that 2016 could be remembered as the year the tide of money crested, instead of just another campaign that saw the dollars rise. Meanwhile, maybe we should ask for an interim measure. Instead of debates among the candidates, let’s go straight to the top — and ask for debates among their donors instead.

PUBLIC FORUM

Child awareness

Failed experiment

To the editor: We would like to thank Lawrence, Eudora, Baldwin City and Lecompton mayors and city commissioners and the Douglas County commissioners for declaring April “Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month.” As we celebrate this national month of awareness, we are reminded that all children deserve safe and happy childhoods.

Each of us has a role in making Douglas County the best place for children and families to thrive. There are simple actions we can take every day to help reduce family isolation and stress, which are two of the major risk factors of child abuse and neglect. Such actions include making yourself known to new neighbors and families, volunteering at pre- or post-school programs or providing time for parents to have an occasional break from the rigors of parenthood.

With the support of more than 40 local groups, the Douglas County Child Abuse Prevention Task Force’s mission is to empower our community to prevent child abuse and neglect through awareness and education of effective prevention strategies. We focus on the five protective factors: nurturing and attachment, knowledge of parenting and child development, parental resilience, social connections, and concrete support for parents.

The blue pinwheels planted in each city provide a symbolic effort to change the way our nation thinks about prevention and how we can deliver on our commitment to America’s children. As the new national symbol for child abuse and neglect prevention, the pinwheel is an uplifting reminder of childhood and the bright futures all children deserve.

Pamela Cullerton, Douglas County Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Task Force

To the editor: On the KPERS website there is a link to a letter stating that Gov. Brownback did not take money from the KPERS account, he reduced the amount contributed by the state over that which was given in previous years. In my mind and that of others there is no difference except in legalese.

He has, in essence, debited the account of KPERS and, thus, debited the accounts of thousands in the state of Kansas. The KPERS and Kansas Board of Regents accounts are already rated among the worst in the U.S. for contributions and sustainment.

We who are employed by the state are some of the lowest paid of any. Our typical salary runs 35 percent below the market average. And yet, Brownback sees fit to take away from the little we have to shore up his “experiment” in Reaganomics that he and Gov. Bobby Jindal and others are imposing on their states. It is time the experiment ends and we take back our state.

building that we could have used. I have a suggestion for the city: Make space available for the public right up until the time someone else is actually going to use it. This suggestion would increase city revenue, in this time of tight city budgets, and maximize use of the facility.

Craig Voorhees, Lawrence

Site proposal

To the editor: Here are my thoughts on a new police facility that’s very much needed and which I do 100 percent support.

I believe we should build a facility at the Lawrence airport for the police with an additional amount of money for a smaller fire station housing one pumper truck, one medic unit and one rescue truck and storage space.

This allows better response time for the north Lawrence area including Grant Township and covers the Kansas Turnpike to the east to the Leavenworth County line and to the west to the Shawnee County line with assistance from fire stations No. 1 and 3. After all there’s not much choice of land available and it would make good use of the airport site and save money for land purchase.

Comcast to end bid for Time Warner $45B deal will be pulled, reports say Roger Yu

USA TODAY

Comcast Corp. is preparing to announce that the company will abandon its attempt to buy Time Warner Cable, according to several reports.

Citing unnamed sources, Bloomberg News said Thursday Comcast could make the an-

nouncement as soon as today in the face of serious concerns by federal regulators about its proposal to pay $45 billion to buy Time Warner Cable and consolidate the nation’s two largest cable companies. CNBC and The New York Times had similar accounts.

Comcast and Time Warner Cable declined to comment.

If Comcast abandons its plans, it would be a huge blow to the cable giant that had bet on the deal to gain customers in key markets, including New York and Los Angeles. It sought to broaden its

reach nationally as streaming video and broadband Internet upend the cable video business. If Comcast had completed the deal, the post-merger company would have gained access to nearly half of the Internet market nationwide and heightened its bargaining leverage against content creators and cable networks Comcast announced its plan to buy Time Warner Cable in February 2014, triggering immediate and loud opposition from consumers and advocacy groups who worry that it would give one com-

pany too much clout in pay-TV and Internet services. The companies structured the agreement with no breakup fee if the merger weren’t approved or either side abandons the effort.

Time Warner Cable shares fell 0.6% Thursday to end at $148.76, while Comcast rose 0.8% to $59.23. Shares of both companies initially were up about 1.4% in after-hours trading.

But at 5 p.m., Comcast was back near Thursday’s closing price, while Time Warner Cable was up 0.3% at $149.13.

uWe report on Bruce Jenner with Diane Sawyer

The accidental killing of two kidnapped aid workers by a U.S. drone strike led to an extraordinary presidential apology and promises of investigations Thursday.

But the White House said drones would still play a key role in counterterrorism operations despite the intelligence failure.

A solemn President Obama said he had profound regret that the strike in January against suspected terrorists in Pakistan also killed two of their hostages.

An intelligence assessment recently concluded that Warren Weinstein, 73, an aid worker from Rockville, Md., and Giovanni Lo Porto, 39, an Italian citizen working for a German aid agency, died in the attack, Obama said. Assessments had found “near certainty” that there were no civilians in a compound targeted for the strike, which also killed an American member of al-Qaeda. “We can’t order up a special operations raid every time we suspect that a terrorist might be somewhere,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said.

The American Civil Liberties Union, a critic of drone warfare, said the revelations raise questions about the intelligence used to justify the strikes. “The U.S. quite literally didn’t know who it was killing,” said ACLU Deputy Legal Director Jameel Jaffer.

Members of Congress remained largely supportive of the program. Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr, R-N.C., said officials “take very seriously the need to prevent collateral damage and limit the risk to innocent people.”

Comcast held a series of meetings with the Justice Department and the Federal Communications Commission on Wednesday, the government entities that have reviewed the deal and are close to making their decisions.

That the deal is in trouble has been apparent since late last week, when Bloomberg News first reported that the Justice Department was leaning against the deal.

After those developments, several Wall Street analysts proclaimed the deal dead.

KOCH: NOT ALL ABOUT MONEY “We oppose as Explains his real many or more agenda, how he’s fighting ‘evil’ image things that would Fredreka Schouten USA TODAY

Charles Koch and his industrial empire are mounting an aggressive new defense of his company and his political advocacy, with the billionaire insisting his work to help elect Republicans is rooted in his decades-long quest to “increase well-being in society.”

“We are doing all of this to make more money?” Koch said of charges that his drive to limit WICHITA

Charles Koch says of his political advocacy

“I don’t know how they can say that with a straight face,” he said. “We oppose as many or more things that would benefit us than would hurt us,” he said, ticking off potential losses at his Minnesota oil refinery if the Keystone XL pipeline he sup-

ports is constructed and his opposition to the Export-Import Bank, whose subsidies aiding U.S. companies he has decried as corporate welfare.

His comments came during an interview with USA TODAY in his office at Koch Industries, where he discussed a wide range of topics — from the nearly daily death threats against him to what he termed the “hysteria” in some quarters about global warming.

After delay, Senate confirms Lynch as attorney general Partisanship held up vote for five months Kevin Johnson and Susan Davis USA TODAY

Five months after her nomination, Loretta Lynch was confirmed Thursday by the U.S. Senate to serve as attorney general.

The final vote was 56-43.

Lynch, whose nomination languished longer than the previous seven attorneys general combined, becomes the first AfricanWASHINGTON

American woman to hold the job and the nation’s 83rd chief law enforcement officer. She is likely to be sworn in Monday.

Her confirmation was not in doubt after enough Republicans publicly announced their support to secure the simple majority needed for confirmation. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., was one of 10 Republicans who supported her.

The long-delayed vote for Lynch, Brooklyn’s chief federal prosecutor, prompted a firestorm of criticism from Democrats and some Republicans, highlighting a political paralysis that often grips the Capitol.

H. DARR BEISER, USA TODAY

Loretta Lynch will be the first black woman to become USA’s top cop.

Her confirmation had been held up in recent weeks over a month-long impasse in the Senate over legislation aimed at curbing human trafficking.

That otherwise uncontrover-

sial trafficking bill became entangled in a dispute over abortion language in the measure.

Wednesday, a compromise trafficking measure was approved unanimously by the Senate, clear-

ing the way for a vote on Lynch.

After her confirmation, President Obama said the nation “will be better off for it.”

“Loretta has spent her life fighting for the fair and equal justice that is the foundation of our democracy,” the president said in a written statement.

Attorney General Eric Holder, whose departure was delayed by the Senate’s inaction, said he was pleased the Senate “recognized her clear qualifications and the need for her confirmation.”

“Loretta Lynch is a gifted attorney, a consummate professional and a dedicated public servant,” Holder said.

Ads aim to present Koch in new way MIDWESTERN ROOTS, GLOBAL REACH

ing to be catastrophic.”)

The publicity-averse CEO is stepping into the spotlight as Koch Industries launched a new advertising campaign this week that shows the company’s reach into all corners of Americans’ daily lives — from the Lycra in their workout clothes and the gas in their tanks.

A new “We are Koch” website tells uplifting stories about employees and beneficiaries of Koch philanthropy.

The company also is advertising in professional sports arenas and earlier this year inked a multiyear sponsorship deal to promote Koch Industries during college basketball and football games at 15 universities. It’s all part of a 10-year marketing campaign to introduce Koch to the American public in new ways, said Steve Lombardo, a veteran Washington marketing and crisis communications expert hired last year as the company’s chief communications and marketing officer.

In October, Crown Publishing will release Koch’s second book, Good Profit: How Creating Value for Others Built One of the World’s Most Successful Companies, detailing his management philosophy.

Koch (COKE) has gained notoriety for helping to create and financially support a sprawling network of think tanks, policy and political groups to advance his limited-government agenda.

In the 2014 election alone, two affiliated groups — Americans for Prosperity and Freedom Partners — bombarded Senate Democratic candidates with more than $90 million in advertising in a successful effort to flip control of the chamber to the Republican Party. Much of the network runs through non-profit organizations that do not disclose their donors’ identities.

In the run-up to last year’s midterm elections, then-Senate majority leader Harry Reid, DNev., took the Senate floor more than three dozen times to lambaste the Koch brothers — Charles and his younger brother and company co-owner, David — as “un-American” and the leaders of a secret money “cult.”

GOING ON DEFENSE THROUGH PUBLICITY EFFORT

Koch said the company has stepped up its publicity efforts to help “defend ourselves from attacks and make our employees feel better about the company” and to make clear to customers and suppliers that “we’re not this evil ogre trying to make your lives worse.”

Malcolm Harris, a professor of finance at Friends University in Wichita, said Koch’s political activity may be hurting his ability to retain and recruit talent to his ever-expanding business empire.

In the last two years or so, Koch Industries has acquired all or parts of more than two dozen companies, including Molex, an Illinois-based firm that makes electronic components for products such as iPhones.

“When you acquire companies, you acquire a lot of employees,” Harris said. “You want them to

Aren’t those the guys that eat babies in the morning?’ “ Lombardo would not say how much the company is pumping into its latest round of advertising, which includes digital ads on news and information sites, but called it a “significant spend.”

Even as he defends his company, Koch shows no signs of backing down from the policy and political agenda that has made him the bogeyman of the left.

Earlier this year, the Kochs and their network of some 450 donors, who help underwrite everything from political advertisements to university research grants, committed to spending nearly $900 million in the two years ahead of the 2016 election.

That’s more than double the network’s spending in the run-up to the 2012 elections and more than twice what the Republican

National Committee invested that year.

Charles Koch said this week that only about a third of that will be spent on electoral politics.

The political network he and his brother oversee also is considering wading into the Republican presidential primary for the first time and providing financial support to as many as five candidates who have a “positive message” and the ability to prevail in the 2016 general election.

That move could drive the Republican field closer to the Kochs and their libertarian positions, which often sit at odds with GOP’s business-friendly and socially conservative wings.

The Kochs move to shape the Republican nomination battle has set off alarms among campaign-finance watchdogs.

“This is called the ‘Koch primary,’ “ Fred Wertheimer, president of the campaign watchdog group Democracy 21, said of the brothers’ plans. “Never mind those caucuses and primaries where millions of Americans choose their candidates. The Kochs will do it for all of us.”

Charles and David Koch each own 44.4% of Koch Industries, but Charles, 79, is the driving force behind the energy and manufacturing company, which employs more than 100,000 people around the globe. He’s served as its chairman and CEO since 1967.

David Koch, who has the title of executive president, lives in New York where he is a leading patron of the arts and has donated heavily to cancer research.

(Lincoln Center’s New York State Theater, for instance, was renamed for him in 2008 to celebrate the $100 million he donated for its renovation. ) Charles Koch, however, has stayed put in the town where he grew up. His home sits inside the walled, park-like compound where he was raised, an eightminute drive from the office.

“Why move?” he said. “We’ve been very successful here.”

His imprint is all over Wichita.

The 10,500-seat sports arena at Wichita State University, for instance, bears his name, thanks to a $6 million contribution toward its renovation.

Koch’s low-key persona belies his standing as the world’s sixthrichest person — a slot he shares with his brother, David Koch, on the Forbes’ rankings. He shows up at the office by 7:15 a.m. most days. He’s happy to chat about his 90-minute daily workout — a routine that includes Pilates, strength training and climbing on the Stairmaster.

On a recent Tuesday, he stood with employees in the company cafeteria, Café Koch, getting his $4.99 meal of chili and beerbraised brisket boxed up to take back to his desk.

KOCHS SEEK TO LIMIT GOVERNMENT ‘COERCION’

He and his aides express dismay he’s been so vilified by politicians and popular culture. The Kochs are the subject of two critical documentaries and are regularly lampooned by late-night comics.

Didn’t he expect aggressive pushback when his network was spending heavily to dislodge Democrats from the Senate’s majority?

“I didn’t expect it to be as dishonest and as vicious as it was,” said Koch, who called the flood of death threats the “scariest” part of the last few years.

He still gets hate mail and death threats almost daily, like the one that landed in a general corporate email box Tuesday that started with “How about you start off by killing yourselves” and ended with “I hope you die slowly from prostate cancer.” The missive hit particularly close to home; both Koch brothers are prostate-cancer survivors.

To hear Koch tell it, he’s a reluctant political warrior — drawn into elections as a last resort because the ideas he’s been promoting for 50 years about curtailing the government’s power haven’t gotten enough traction.

(He doesn’t consider himself a Republican, by the way, although he’s registered as one because in deep-red “Kansas, that’s the game.”)

In his view, less government intervention means more oppor-

IN BRIEF PETRAEUS GETS PROBATION FOR LEAKING SECRET INFO

David Petraeus, the retired four-star general who once commanded military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, pleaded guilty Thursday in federal court to leaking classified information to his mistress and biographer, Paula Broadwell, and was sentenced to two years’ probation and fined $100,000.

The sentence did not include any prison time, but the fine was $60,000 higher than the tentative terms reached in a plea deal two months ago.

Before appearing in court, Petraeus told reporters: “Today marks a two-and-half-year ordeal because of mistakes I have made.

I want to apologize for the pain my actions caused.” Petraeus pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of unauthorized removal and retention of eight highly secret “black book” binders, WCNC-TV reports.

HOT TIME IN CHILE

BROWN’S PARENTS FILE SUIT AGAINST CITY OF FERGUSON

MARTIN BERNETTI, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

The Calbuco volcano is seen spewing lava Thursday in a view from Frutillar, Chile. The volcano near the southern port city of Puerto Montt erupted Wednesday. An evacuation for a 6mile radius around the volcano was ordered. Last month, the Villarrica volcano to the north had a smaller eruption.

Thursday committed additional ships and other resources in an effort to stem the tide of migrants making deadly voyages across the Mediterranean Sea. EU members agreed to triple funding for border operations to nearly $10 million a month, the

Associated Press reported.

The increased efforts came as 220 migrants were rescued by the Italian Coast Guard off the Libyan coast Thursday.

Meanwhile, the funerals of 24 people who died on a separate vessel were held Thursday on

The family of an unarmed black 18-year-old who was fatally shot by a white police officer in Ferguson, Mo., filed a wrongful death lawsuit Thursday against the city, former police chief Thomas Jackson and former officer Darren Wilson.

Lawyers for Michael Brown’s parents, Lesley McSpadden and Michael Brown Sr., challenged the explanation of the shooting presented by Wilson, who resigned from the force four months after the August confrontation.

After the local grand jury declined to charge Wilson, the U.S. Justice Department reviewed the case and decided not to press civil rights charges against the officer. The Justice Department did report it found numerous instances of racial bias within the Ferguson Police Department.

tunities for individuals to thrive.

He sees government’s primary role as “coercion” and says it should apply that force in limited circumstances, such as national defense, public safety, enforcing settlements and preventing the spread of communicable disease.

He maintains that the government’s role in most everything else — from licensing cab drivers to regulating banks — ought to be up for debate. His voice rises to a near-shout when talking about criminal laws and the civil forfeiture of assets in criminal investigations “If somebody smokes a joint, we’re gonna go in and bust them?

We’re gonna raid houses in case somebody has a banned substance? Confiscate their houses?”

“My God,” he said, “if people don’t see that as an abuse of force, of too much government, then we’re just not communicating.”

His critics note that the Kochs’ anti-regulation stance also advances their economic interests.

Reducing the government’s permitting powers or lobbying for reductions in federal and states gas taxes, as the Koch-affiliated Americans for Prosperity is doing around the country, helps the bottom line of a business rooted in oil refining and manufacturing.

While the company touts its environmental record, Democrats highlight its run-ins with the government. In 2000, for instance, Koch Industries agreed to pay $30 million in penalties for leaking oil into waterways in six states.

“It’s very difficult to disentangle their political beliefs from their business interests. It’s all wrapped up into one,” said Daniel Schulman, an editor with Mother Jones magazine and the author of the 2014 biography of Koch and his three siblings, Sons of Wichita: How the Koch Brothers Became America’s Most Powerful and Private Dynasty.

“That said, Charles Koch doesn’t always advocate for his interests. They’ll take the subsidies, and they have lobbied against those sorts of things,” he said. “I absolutely think they are true believers.”

In one of its most unusual alliances, Koch Industries has teamed up with the liberal think tank, Center for American Progress, and prominent Democrats, such as former Obama administration official Van Jones, to work on a broad overhaul of the criminal-justice system.

“I was initially cautious, trying to figure out whether I would find a hidden agenda if I looked under a lot of rocks,” Jones said about his collaboration on the issue with Koch general counsel Mark Holden. “I take them at their word that their libertarian values have led them to this issue.”

Holden said he hopes the new cooperation with Democrats might change the tone of the political discourse ahead of 2016.

“But I’m not naive,” Holden added. “This is a political world.

We’ll be ready.”

NATION/WORLD Turkey bristles at use of word genocide

DRONE STRIKE

Armenians see denial as affront to history

WASHINGTON U.S. operatives watched a compound nestled in the mountainous and lawless Afghan-Pakistani region for three days before launching an airstrike that mistakenly killed American and Italian hostages in January, according to two U.S. officials.

Before launching the strikes, the operatives were convinced that no civilians were present and that the compound housed terrorist leaders, according to the officials who were briefed on the attack. The officials provided an account of the incident that led to the death of American aid worker Warren Weinstein and Giovanni

Armenians from around the globe are in Istanbul for today’s commemoration of what’s been called the first genocide of modern times, when up to 1.5 million Armenians died in the massacres and deportations that began in 1915.

A century later, the bitterly contested history is hardly a thing of the past. Turkey continues to insist that the wartime killings were not genocide, while Armenians say Turkey’s denial is an affront to a core part of their national identity.

“There is a question of political recognition of the genocide, but ultimately, it’s about the Armenian story and history being incorporated into the collective memory of the countries where we live,” said Nicolas Tavitian, director of the Armenian General Benevolent Union, who flew in from Brussels for the centennial.

“This isn’t about Turks against Armenians, it’s about recognizing what happened and acknowledging our history,” he said.

ISTANBUL

Women pray during a religious service at Etchmiadzin Cathedral in Armenia on Thursday.

Turkey has insisted for 100 years that those killed — mostly Christian Armenians and mostly Muslim Turks — were victims of civil war as the Ottoman Empire collapsed during World War I. Turkey’s president reasserted that Thursday.

“The Armenian claims on the 1915 events, and especially the numbers put forward, are all baseless and groundless,” President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.

“Our ancestors did not persecute.”

Erdogan angered the Armenian community by rescheduling a centennial commemoration of the Battle of Gallipoli on the same day of the genocide anniversary, inviting world leaders to attend the events.

Turkey considers the campaign to defend the Gallipoli peninsula from a European assault one of its most glorious triumphs and a precursor to the creation of the modern Turkish state in the ashes of the Ottoman Empire.

In schools, Turkish textbooks describe the Armenians as “dishonorable and treacherous,” and students are taught that Armenians were forcibly relocated to protect Turkish citizens from attacks. An exhibition at the Istanbul Military Museum features photographs of Ottoman Turks mutilated and slaughtered by Armenian gangs.

According to a recent poll by the Center for Economics and Foreign Policy Studies, an independent think-tank based in Istanbul, less than 10% of Turks say their government should recognize the mass killings of Armenians as genocide.

Historians largely dispute Turkey’s version of events.

“There was certainly a lot of fog of war violence, and no doubt some percentage of Armenians died through starvation and not state policy, but it doesn’t change the facts that the state had a sustained program to destroy the Armenians as a population,” said Howard Eissenstat, a historian at St. Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y.

Lo Porto, an Italian, but they did not want to be named because they are not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.

The hostages evidently had been well-concealed in an area not visible to U.S. spy planes and satellites. Overhead imagery from the compound showed there were no children playing nearby or women engaged in chores outdoors, the officials said.

An image of a suspected alQaeda operative showed him driving to the compound, another piece of evidence that led officials to believe the compound was used to plan attacks.

The United States launched two drone strikes on the compound, and the first one apparently killed the hostages. The strikes also appeared to have

killed the al-Qaeda terrorists who had been targeted, the officials said. Two of the al-Qaeda terrorists were Americans, Ahmed Farouq, and Adam Gadahn, the White House confirmed.

Damage assessments in the following weeks indicated that Weinstein and Lo Porto had probably been in the compound when it was attacked, the officials

said. It wasn’t until this month that the intelligence community “with a high degree” of certainty made the assessment that the men had been killed. Their remains have not been recovered.

Intelligence analysts said unmanned surveillance aircraft can provide a detailed picture of the ground because they have sophisticated sensors and can linger in the air for hours over a target, providing continuous video feeds.

They have highly accurate targeting equipment and precision munitions.

The surveillance drones are “one of the most discriminating and accurate lethal platforms we have,” said David Deptula, a retired Air Force lieutenant general who served as deputy Air Force chief of staff for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.

“That said, errors and mistakes can be made.”

Family of hostage ‘devastated’ Relatives of killed U.S. aid worker issue scathing statement Marisol Bello USA TODAY

The last time the public saw American aid worker Warren Weinstein was in a video released by al-Qaeda in December 2013, more than two years into his captivity by the terrorist group.

Weinstein was wearing a gray track suit and a black knit cap.

He had a scraggly beard. He told the world he felt “totally abandoned and forgotten.”

His family held high hopes that the 73-year-old from Rockville, Md., would come home, but on Thursday, the White House said a drone strike on an al-Qaeda compound in Pakistan killed Weinstein and another hostage, Giovanni Lo Porto, an Italian who was captured in 2012.

In a scathing statement issued Thursday morning on a website devoted to Weinstein’s return, his family said they are devastated by the news that an American operation killed him.

“On behalf of myself, our two daughters, our son-in-law, and two grandchildren, we are devastated by this news and the knowledge that my husband will never safely return home,” Weinstein’s wife, Elaine, wrote. “We were so hopeful that those in the U.S. and Pakistani governments with the power to take action and secure his release would have done everything possible to do so and there are no words to do justice to (our) disappointment and heartbreak.”

She wrote that the family does not yet understand all the facts surrounding Weinstein’s death.

While she thanked the Mary-

Elaine Weinstein says she does not yet have all the facts surrounding her husband’s death.

The U.S. Government “failed to take action ... when opportunity presented itself.”

Elaine Weinstein

land members of Congress who helped them, she had harsh words for the Obama administration.

“Unfortunately, the assistance we received from other elements of the U.S. Government was inconsistent and disappointing,” she said. “We hope that my husband’s death and the others who have faced similar tragedies in recent months will finally prompt the U.S. Government to take its responsibilities seriously and establish a coordinated and consistent approach to supporting hostages and their families.”

Elaine Weinstein said her husband devoted his life to helping the people of Pakistan, and she was disappointed more was not done to get his release. “They failed to take action earlier in his captivity when opportunity presented itself, instead treating Warren’s captivity as more of an annoyance than a priority.”

Weinstein was abducted from

his home in the eastern city of Lahore in August 2011, four days before he was set to leave Pakistan. Gunmen fooled his guards into thinking they were neighbors offering food, then beat Weinstein and tied up his guards.

Weinstein was the country director in Pakistan for J.E. Austin Associates, a U.S.-based consulting firm that helps Pakistani business and government agencies. The firm, based in Arlington, Va., is a contractor for the U.S. Agency for International Development.

Lo Porto, 39, was an aid worker for the German organization Welt Hunger Hilfe, which works to end hunger and poverty across the globe. The Italian newspaper la Repubblica described him as a “brilliant young aid worker.” He was kidnapped in January 2012 soon after he arrived in the city of Multan in northern Pakistan, near the Afghanistan border.

Sen. Kaine: The problem isn’t drones.

It’s the mission

WASHINGTON The deaths of two hostages in a drone strike in Pakistan shouldn’t raise questions about the use of drones, says Sen. Tim Kaine, a leading voice on foreign policy on Capitol Hill — but they raise questions about the mission the U.S. is pursuing in the region nearly 14 years after the 9/11 attacks.

“A drone isn’t any different than a bomb (or) other weapons ... where there is always a capacity for people to be killed who you wished were not,” the Virginia Democrat told Capital Download.

“It’s just the weapons platform.

The real issue, he says, is the mission. “Drones have become so controversial because they’ve ... been used in all kinds of places.

When the original war against al-

Qaeda started, people didn’t think it would be over such a large geographical expanse and they certainly didn’t think it would last this long.”

Kaine says the original authorization to use force in the region, approved in the wake of the 2001 terror attacks, should be updated to include limits in timing and geography, and to reflect today’s battles against terror groups rather than nation states.

That isn’t likely to happen anytime soon, he says. But Senate negotiators, he adds, are close to reaching a bipartisan compromise on a separate measure to authorize the use of force in Iraq and Syria against the Islamic State. He says progress has been made behind the scenes on issues such as the use of ground troops.

“Earnest discussions are going on in the Foreign Relations Committee. Given that there’s strong bipartisan support for American military action against ISIL, we should be able to find a path

JACK GRUBER, USA TODAY

Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., says the mission needs clarification. forward.”

Kaine, a member of the Foreign Relations and Armed Services committees, is an advocate for Congress assuming a stronger role.

Last week, Obama dropped his threat to veto a measure, co-authored by Kaine, that would define Congress’ role in reviewing the Iran deal. Kaine, an early backer of Obama who served as Democratic National Committee chairman, says the president wasn’t pleased when that bill was introduced. “We had some good

discussions,” he says wryly. Once it was clear the measure would command a veto-proof majority, Obama said he would sign it.

Analysts say Kaine, 57, could be on Hillary Clinton’s short list for vice president in 2016.

He says he plans to be on the podium “when she’s inaugurated ... but I’m going to be sitting with the senators.”

Shares up 3% even after earnings dip below estimates Jessica Guynn USA TODAY

Google may be facing growing challenges from European regulators, encroaching competitors, slowing growth and the rapidly changing habits of smartphone-toting consumers, but it still wields more power than any other company on the Internet. And that isn’t going to change anytime soon.

That much was clear on Thursday when the Internet giant reported first-quarter results after SAN FRANCISCO

MONEYLINE GOOGLE’S CHAIRMAN BUYS STAKE IN HEDGE FUND Eric Schmidt, the billionaire chairman of Google, paid an undisclosed amount for a 20% stake in $36 billion hedge fund GETTY IMAGES manager D.E. Shaw that was previously held

by Lehman Bros., Bloomberg News reports. D.E. Shaw was founded in 1988 by David Shaw, a former Columbia University computer science professor.

Lehman bought its holding in March 2007, more than a year before the investment bank went bankrupt.

WE’LL SEE YOU IN COURT A court may have to sort this one out. The Justice Department is suing Quicken Loans for approving hundreds of loans to unqualified borrowers from 2007 to 2011 that cost the government money when some defaulted.

Quicken is suing the government, saying it’s done nothing wrong and the government is trying to make it pay big penalties for political reasons.

NUMBER OF THE DAY:

the market closed.

For the sixth straight quarter, Google’s (GOOG) earnings fell below analyst estimates.

But investors were pleased with a healthy bump in the number of paid clicks on Google ads and comments from executives about the growing popularity of ads on the Google-owned video service YouTube, sending shares up more than 3% to $565.00 in after-hours trading.

BGC Partners analyst Colin Gillis says investors had braced for worse. And, he said, it helped that the Nasdaq Composite Index closed at a record high.

Gillis said.

Google, which gets more than half of its revenue from overseas, got walloped by the stronger U.S. dollar. Google said first-quarter revenues would have been $795 million higher if it were not for the currency headwinds.

Spending — a perennial source of concern for investors — continued to spike as it poured money into speculative projects such as driverless cars. In a conference call with analysts, outgoing chief financial officer Patrick Pichette

reassured analysts that Google is taking a “disciplined” approach to spending.

He also sought to boost investor confidence by dispelling the perception that the consumer shift to mobile devices has driven down advertising prices.

He told analysts that the falling prices are the result of people watching ads on Google’s YouTube service, which cost less than search ads.

“I didn’t think I’d see it, but ... I didn’t think I’d see the Berlin Wall come down so peacefully,” says Quincy Krosby, market strategist at Prudential Financial.

The Nasdaq, like the rest of the U.S. stock market, of course, has enjoyed the tailwind of cheap money and massive stimulus from the U.S. Federal Reserve since the financial crisis in 2009.

The new record equates to a complete recovery and demonstrates the U.S. market’s resilience despite headwinds ranging from financial crises to wars. It also is likely to restart the debate over whether another stock bubble is brewing.

It is also a sign that investors are willing to take risks despite all the headwinds, such as the threat of coming interest rate hikes,

above-average valuations, slowing earnings growth, and the negative fallout on earnings and sales due to the super-strong U.S. dollar, says Michael Farr, head of money manager Farr Miller & Washington.

Just as back in its heyday at the start of the century, the Nasdaq is leading the market, driven by new innovative companies that have huge potential. For the year, the Nasdaq is up 6.8%, far better than the Dow Jones industrials and Standard & Poor’s 500.

What’s different? Back then, everybody from Wall Street pros to taxi drivers turned day traders thought stock prices only went up. “Today, your father doesn’t trust the market, and that’s actually helped the market,” Krosby says.

Google posted earnings per share excluding expenses such as stock compensation of $6.57, up from $6.27 a share in the year-ago period. Analysts expected Google to earn $6.61 a share.

Revenue for the quarter was $17.26 billion, up 12% from $15.42 billion. Minus traffic acquisition costs, it was about $13.91 billion, short of the $14.08 billion analysts expected.

Google earned $6.27 a share on revenue of $12.2 billion in the year-ago quarter.

REVENUE UP, YEAR-OVER-YEAR

If there’s one thing the government’s widespread, multiyear rate-rigging probe has taught us, it’s that Wall Street traders are a colorful bunch.

On Thursday, authorities released fresh digital chats tied to Deutsche Bank, which agreed to pay $2.5 billion to settle charges that it rigged influential interbank-offered rates going back to 2003.

The emails and message chats were made public by the Justice Department, New York State Financial Services Superintendent Benjamin Lawsky and Britain’s Financial Conduct Authority. Replete with trader lingo and misspellings, they show Deutsche Bank traders requesting that the folks responsible for submitting rates, or submitters, do so in a way that would benefit their trading positions, officials said.

In February 2005, a trader wrote to a submitter, “can we have a high 6mth libor today pls gezzer?” Libor refers to the London Interbank Offered Rates.

The rate submitter replied,

“sure dude, where wld you like it mate?”

After they agreed on the rate, the trader remarked that he couldn’t get “that level of flexibility” when the usual submitter was around.

Interbank-offered rates, such as Libor, are supposed to be a reflection of supply and demand for lending money, as well as a bank’s financial health. Other institutions, such as credit card issuers

and mortgage lenders, rely on those rates to set their rates on loans.

But emails and chats released Thursday showed that personal relationships also played a large role. And the rigging wasn’t limited to employees within the same bank. Indeed, Deutsche Bank submitters took orders from outside traders, and vice versa.

In an exchange from November 2006, for example, a Deut-

sche Bank manager in London could be seen begging a trader from another bank to help him with his rate requests. The manager feared that the rate submitters whose help he wanted wouldn’t comply if they knew he was behind the request. “don’t tell them that it’s for me, because they hate me,” the manager said. “of course not,” the trader replied.

“I am beeeeeeeeeegging you,” the London desk head said.

There were also conflicting rate requests. In October 2005, a trader from another bank was rebuffed by a Deutsche Bank submitter because his rate request conflicted with what Deutsche Bank traders in Frankfurt wanted, the DOJ said.

Outside trader: “could we please ask you to put in low 1m [month] fixing pls” Deutsche Bank submitter: “Difficlt, think [Senior Manager] wnarts it on the high side” Trader: “Oh no!! But ladies first no ;))?”

Deutsche Bank submitter: “But u dont sign my bonus right?”

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch John Waggoner @johnwaggoner USA TODAY

Are you the type of person who feels sad when earnings season comes to an end? Well, wipe away those tears: We’re not even halfway through yet.

So far, 135 companies in the Standard and Poor’s 500 have reported their earnings, and of those, 100 have beat analysts’ expectations. And while companies have exceeded expectations on profit, only 41% have beat on revenue, says S&P Capital IQ. American Airlines (AAL) finishes off this week, reporting its earnings today. Analysts think the company will report $1.71 per share in first-quarter earnings, according to Thomson Financial Network.

First up next week: Apple

Facebook finds new ways to stay relevant Q: Is it too late to buy Facebook?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: When a stock jumps more than 30% in 12 months, investors correctly wonder if they missed it. But Facebook keeps making a compelling call to its stock.

When stocks soar for no fundamental reason, that’s when investors should worry. But the opposite has been the case with Facebook as it continues to find new ways to stay relevant in a mobile world and turn users into dollars.

The company this week reported firstquarter adjusted earnings jumped 24% from year ago levels. Analysts expect profit to jump 12% in the current year over last year.

Investors aren’t willing to pay the same valuation for Facebook as they were when it was growing much faster.

Facebook’s trading multiple, or how much investors are paying for a claim to earnings, is down 5% over the past 12 months, says Ross Sandler, analyst at Deutsche Bank in a note to clients. He also points out Facebook’s mobile ad revenue grew 90%, excluding currency factors, during the quarter.

The falling valuation is making Facebook a compelling stock in the eyes of analysts. The stock has an average rating of “outperform” from Wall Street analysts. Analysts have a price target of $93.96 a share on the stock. That’s a potential increase of 14%.

Microsoft beats the Street as turnaround gains speed Marco della Cava USA TODAY

FRANCISCO Microsoft roundly beat Wall Street expectations Thursday, announcing that fiscal third-quarter revenue grew to $21.7 billion and earnings per share hit 61 cents.

Analysts expected Microsoft to earn 51 cents a share on revenue of $21.07 billion, compared to 68 cents per share on $20.4 billion revenue in the year-ago quarter.

The 6% revenue gain comes despite hurdles that include a 6.7% year-over-year decline in global SAN

STEPHEN BRASHEAR, GETTY IMAGES

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is making big changes.

PC sales, the strong U.S. dollar and the continuing shift to mobile and tablet-based communications.

The news came after Wall Street’s close and the Nasdaq set a new, all-time closing high. Micro-

soft shares jumped 3.3% to $44.78 in after-hours trading.

Microsoft’s commercial revenue grew 5% to $12.8 billion, led by a 106% leap in cloud revenue.

But this was its fifth straight quarter of year-on-year declines.

“We would characterize these results as a big step in the right direction for (CEO Satya) Nadella and Microsoft, and it appears Microsoft is back on the right track after a head-scratching performance last quarter,” says Daniel Ives of FBR Capital Markets. “The Street was expecting a C quarter, they delivered a B+.”

Ives says investors will want to

hear more from Nadella on the continuing rollout of the Windows 10 operating platform and its role as an anchor for Microsoft’s long term strategy. “This flagship release needs to be successful for Microsoft shares to go higher in our opinion and growth depends on it,” he says.

Nadella said in a statement that “customers continue to choose Microsoft to transform their business and as a result we saw incredible growth across our cloud services this quarter.”

Microsoft’s buoyant results aren’t to be taken lightly, says Colin Gillis, analyst with BGC Part-

ners. It “did a great job controlling costs, showed continued growth in enterprise and was even ahead of expectations with hardware,” says Gillis, referencing the $3.2 billion racked up by phones and tablets. “There could be a whole new story here of Microsoft the hardware company.”

Revenue from the company’s Surface tablets was up 44% to $713 million, while phones generated $1.4 billion.

Gillis predicts choppy waters ahead for the Redmond, Wash.based company: “Microsoft is a big ship to turn around. But they’re doing it.”

Glamorous star of ‘Adaline’ keeps it real for daughter Donna Freydkin @freydkin USA TODAY

NEW YORK Let’s get real here.

Blake Lively may personify fecund, radiant, well-mannered grace. But she doesn’t go to grandiose gourmand lengths to build the palate of her daughter, James, who is attached to her breast for a late lunch.

“I made a joke the other day (that) I rub truffles on my nipples every day. That would hurt! I don’t actually do that,” she says.

“My husband says things that are off the wall and if I said those things, people would send me to an insane asylum. (He says) how naps are like porn. If he said he rubbed truffles on his nipples, it would be a different thing.”

And, yes, the fallout bothered her. A lot.

“Everyone knew I was joking, (but) it made me seem elitist. It separated me from other moms in the world,” she says. “I don’t want to be separate. So I’ll take things personally sometimes.”

James arrived with none of the fanfare usually accompanying celebrity births, and Lively, 27, and Ryan Reynolds only recently confirmed their child’s name.

“We don’t live a public life. We have a public profession,” she says. “It’s very important for us to protect her privacy. We made a concerted effort to give her that time. Anonymity is such a gift, especially for a child.”

DAN MACMEDAN, USA TODAY

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds shield daughter James.

“We don’t live a public life. We have a public profession.”

The baby smiles at her, and Lively grins back. “I’m a walking, talking hot fudge sundae to her,” she says.

Lively’s raison d’etre, at this point, is keeping her daughter — it’s a family name from both sides — away from camera lenses. She and Reynolds have toyed with releasing a photo on social media, as John Krasinski and Emily Blunt did with daughter Hazel, but can’t quite hit send yet. “(Paparazzi) will go to whatever lengths they need to, to get it. And you think, ‘Do you just put it out there?’ Just to stop putting my child and everyone around me in harm’s way,” she says.

“They actually call it a bounty.

Paparazzi said to me downstairs, ‘There’s a bounty on your child’s head. We’re going to get her.’ This is a sweet newborn baby. She’s a

commodity to them. But then you sound like a jerk for wanting to protect your child.”

Switching gears to go back to work to promote The Age of Adaline (in theaters today) was discombobulating, as any new mother, regardless of fame or income, knows. Lively looks around at the Christian Louboutin and Charlotte Olympia heels lined up in her suite, the fancy dresses on racks, and looks somewhat surprised as she talks about playing a woman who, after a car accident, simply stops growing older.

It’s the first time “I left my house in four months. Otherwise I’m just a boob truck. Open for service,” she says.

“I feel slow today. It’s hard to keep up with the pace of this energy, this level of attention.

Pregnancy brain is a real thing.”

Home sales see big rebound nationwide in March Josh Boak and Alex Veiga

WASHINGTON — U.S. home sales bloomed in March after a brutal winter, a sign of possible newfound momentum for housing.

Sales of existing homes jumped 6.1 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.19 million, the National Association of Realtors said. The gains were solid enough to suggest that housing might be returning to stable footing after enduring a boom, a bust and a stubbornly tepid recovery over the past dozen years.

“We may be seeing the beginning of things getting close to what we would call a normal market,” said Tom Lawler, a housing economist.

Still, it remains unclear whether March’s robust gains can be sustained. Much of last month’s sales growth came from the Northeast and Midwest - the areas

The AssociATed Press

that were hardest hit by winter storms and that were bound to recover as the weather warmed.

It’s possible that the March increase might amount to just a one-month blip.

That possibility makes next week’s release of the Realtors’ monthly report on pending home sales — which covers upcoming purchases - a crucial barometer of the industry’s strength.

On top of that, there might not be enough homes on the market to meet buyer demand. A shortage of available homes would limit sales.

Nationally, the real estate market has just 4.6 months of supply, compared with six months in what economists consider a healthy market. The limited supply has caused prices to rise at a pace that hurts affordability. The median U.S. home price rose 7.8 percent over the past 12 months

to $212,100. By contrast, average U.S. pay has risen just 2.1 percent over that time.

This sets up a tension between rising demand and limited availability of homes. To build on the current sales momentum, more houses must be listed, said Richard Moody, chief economist at Regions Financial.

“While improving labor market conditions have fostered sturdier income growth and first-time buyers are coming back... we nonetheless continue to harbor concerns that lean inventories could pull the plug on a potentially promising spring selling season,” Moody said.

In states like California, the imbalance between the number of would-be buyers and homes for sale has become more pronounced. The supply of homes slid in March to 3.5 months.

That’s giving sellers the edge

“We may be seeing the beginning of things getting close to what we would call a normal market” — Tom Lawler, a housing economist in places like San Diego County, where many homes have been selling for very close to full asking price, said Patrick Marelly, an agent with Realty ONE Group in northern San Diego County.

“It’s really more of a seller’s market,” Marelly said.

Some economists predict that the March upswing will lead to more listings of homes.

“We should not be worrying too much about tight inventories,” said Alan MacEachin, an economist at Navy Federal Credit Union. “Rising prices and more buyers will bring an increase of sellers into the market, thus keeping inventory stable.”

The March sales rate topped 5

million for the first time this year and suggests that sales should improve from the 4.94 million in 2014. Still, in a healthy market, sales would average roughly 5.5 million a year, economists say.

Home-buying improved in all four geographic regions last month. The largest gains came from the Northeast and Midwest, the areas where fierce weather in the prior two months delayed sales.

Relatively low mortgage rates should also help buyers. The average 30-year fixed rate was 3.67 percent last week, according to the mortgage giant Freddie Mac. The average has plummeted from a 52-week high of 4.33 percent.

Friday, April 24, 2015

Dear Annie: My husband died 11 years ago.

Our son, “Marcus,” was 6 at the time. His dad was in intensive care for two months, and because of his young age, our son was not allowed to see his father.

Before he died, my husband asked his younger brother to keep his drum set until Marcus turned 18.

Marcus’ uncles used to call him every year on his birthday, which also is his father’s birthday.

But since my husband died, neither has called to wish their nephew a happy birthday.

Marcus will be 18 soon. He is into music and wants the drums.

I have asked his uncle on several occasions by sending a message on Facebook. I also asked my son’s half-brother (from my husband’s first marriage) to get

Annie’s Mailbox

the drums, and Marcus would pick them up from his house. Nothing has happened.

I recently noticed a picture on Facebook of a guy who used to play in a band with my late husband. In the photo, he is playing drums that look suspiciously like the ones that belong to my son.

Marcus has nothing of his father’s. He was not included in any decisions on what to sell or what to keep, or

Diane Sawyer joins sideshow When is the right time to leave the arena? It’s not unusual to see sports stars hang up their cleats when they can no longer play up to their abilities — when they decide that to carry on would make a travesty of their reputation.

Cary Grant was barely into his 60s when he stopped making movies. He didn’t understand or approve of the tone and content of films being made in the late 1960s. That may sound prudish by contemporary standards, but he felt that they weren’t right for him.

He could have continued to cash in and do an “Airport” or three in the 1970s, or show up on “The Love Boat” in the early 80s. I’m glad he didn’t and quit when they just weren’t making Cary Grant movies anymore.

He was smart enough, or rather wise enough, to know that sometimes your dignity is worth more than money.

Diane Sawyer could learn something from that.

The former nightly news anchor and “Good Morning America” host will spend two solid hours tonight trying to interest us in “Bruce Jenner: The Interview” (8 p.m., ABC).

As I hope readers of this column know and appreciate, I have strived to keep this space a Kardashian-free zone. Suffice it to say, Jenner and his story has become part of the soulsucking, attention-grabbing Kardashian Death Star. That enterprise is perfectly suited to the form of click-bait “journalism” of the Web and social media. But devoting two hours of TV “news” to the subject is beyond pathetic. Sawyer is an accomplished television journalist with a very long resume.

She simply looks sad chasing this manufactured and trite story that’s much better suited to a media that services shorter attention spans.

Rather than host this interview, she should have retired, or at least faced up to a sad reality: When two hours with Bruce Jenner is considered “news,” it’s time to get out of the news business — or help change it.

Tonight’s other highlights O Hot tub shenanigans on “The Amazing Race” (7 p.m., CBS).

O Wesen rites and wrongs on “Grimm” (7 p.m., NBC).

O Hangovers, amnesia and murder on “Hawaii Five-0” (8 p.m., CBS).

BIRTHDAYS Actress Shirley MacLaine is 81. Actress-singer-director Barbra Streisand is 73. Rock musician Billy Gould is 52. Actor Eric Balfour is 38. Singer Kelly Clarkson is 33.

even asked what he’d like to have. He was also given his dad’s El Camino, but my husband put the title in the name of Marcus’ halfbrother, who sold it. He didn’t even give my son any of the money from the sale. That was bad enough, but Marcus only really cares about the drums.

The entire family knows that my late husband wanted Marcus to have the drums. What should I do? File a lawsuit? How do I honor my late husband’s wishes and give my son this final gift from his dad?

— Distraught Mom of a Musician Dear Mom: Is anything in writing? If not, you might need to file a lawsuit, but in order to prove your case, you probably will need other credible witnesses to testify that your

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Friday, April 24: This year you often stand up to others’ manipulations. You will start walking away from controlling people. If you are single, you will apply your strong drive to meeting someone. If you are attached, the two of you need to keep talking and accepting each other.

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 feel as if someone is intentionally working against you. Pull away quickly.

Tonight: Keep your distance from a control game.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ++++ Your desire to have a situation play out the way you want it to could cause a rift.

Tonight: Indulge a friend or loved one.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ++++ Someone could be trying to pull you into a power play.

Be smart. Tonight: Buy a new item for your wardrobe.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ++++ You might sense that much is going on behind closed doors. Consider breaking past a barrier. Tonight: Let go, and have fun.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) +++ You easily could be overwhelmed by what you are hearing and sensing behind the scenes.

Tonight: Paint the town red.

husband’s wish was for Marcus to have the drum set. An attorney will let you know if you have a case.

But a lawsuit should be a last resort. Please stop asking for personal things on Facebook.

Pick up the phone. Call the uncle who supposedly has the drum set. Be nice. Ask when would be convenient to pick it up.

Marcus also can call his uncle. These relationships work both ways, and Marcus is old enough now to establish his own contact.

And if he is close to his half-brother or another paternal relative, perhaps you or Marcus could get the relative to intercede on his behalf.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ++++ A friend could become contrary. A meeting will allow your mind to flourish. Tonight: Find a spot with great music.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) +++ Listen to news with openness, and attempt to deal with a problem. You might need to take the lead. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ++++ Reach out to someone at a distance. You could be delighted by the conversation.

Tonight: Flow with the moment.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ++++ Deal with individuals rather than groups. A new friend could surprise you. Tonight: Head out with friends or co-workers.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ++++ A loved one finally will decide to open up rather than resort to making argumentative comments. Tonight: Choose a favorite stressbuster.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ++++ Allowing more giveand-take would help you get past an unexpected communication.

Tonight: Lighten your mood.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ++++ Your creativity will emerge when dealing with an associate who could cause some uproar. Tonight: Your words will make a friend smile.

CITY SHOWDOWN SOCCER

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Sanders’ memory honored Lawrence High head baseball coach Brad Stoll and assistant Adam Green put a photograph of one player from every Lions team on what they call their “Wall of Fame.”

In 2008, Travis Sanders was that player. Shortest guy on the team, hobbling down the first-base line with everything he had after rushing himself back from a knee injury suffered during football season.

Coach’s dream.

Opposing pitcher’s nightmare.

“I miss him every day,” Sanders Stoll said.

“I know people say that, but it’s true. There’s not a day I don’t think about him. His picture’s right about my desk.”

Sanders died Oct. 27, 2013 at the age of 23, in an accident on I-35 in Osage County. He had hit a deer that disabled his car and had walked out of the car. A motorist swerved to avoid Sanders’ car and hit him.

The morning, Stoll said, he woke up to “a half-dozen missed calls and 10-to-15 text messages. God-awful way to wake up.”

It’s a horrible memory in a sea of wonderful ones about an athlete who had too much love and respect for the games he played to play them any other way than with pedal to the metal.

On Saturday, friends of his will team up, call themselves Sluggers for Sanders and play the second-annual Sanders Vintage Baseball Game vs. the Emporia Vintage baseball team, a group of men who play wearing flannel uniforms, short-billed caps and baggy pants of baseball’s early days. Umpires will dress in the uniforms of a bygone era and the baseball will be similar to the ones used way, way, way back. First pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m. at Broken Arrow Park.

Julie Rea, mother of Travis’ LHS teammate Aaron Rea, came up with the idea.

“She just thought with Travis’ love for the game, this would be a good way to memorialize him,” said Regina Sanders, Travis’ mother.

Regina said she had a great time watching last year’s game.

“They had an old man on the Emporia team, had to be in his 80’s or 90’s and he was running around out there,” she said. “We were afraid he was going to drop dead.”

There is no admission charge, but concessions will be sold and donations to an education fund for Travis’ nephews, Houston and Myric, will be accepted.

“It’s just a way for all of us to pay tribute to his memory,” Regina Sanders said.

Asked how she and husband Richard were doing, Regina said, “We’re surviving.”

Travis made his parents proud on baseball diamonds, football fields and in general. He gave them rich memories.

“That’s very important that we have those to grasp,” Regina Sanders said.

FREE STATE’S MARCELA ELLEBRACHT (4) AND MAYA HODISON (10) rush to hug Sydni Beeley after Beeley’s penalty kick broke a scoreless tie while Lawrence High’s Bess Davison (15) looks on during the City Showdown on Thursday night at FSHS.

Beeley’s goal sends Firebirds past Lions, 1-0

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

For someone holding a giant ice pack over a swollen knot above her left eye, Free State High freshman Sydni Beeley sure had a big smile on her face as she walked away from the Firebirds’ home field Thursday night.

A little blood and a significant welt couldn’t alter her mood. Not after her penalty

kick in the 66th minute lifted FSHS to a 1-0 City Showdown victory over rival Lawrence High.

“I was a bit nervous,” Beeley admitted afterward, “because I could hear the (LHS) fans telling me to miss it. But I tuned them out.”

An aggressive run by teammate Sabrea Platz for a loose ball in the box set up the decisive PK. Lawrence junior goalkeeper Katie Mur-

rish charged after the ball, too, and when Platz ended up on the ground before Murrish could cover it, the Lions earned a foul on a bang-bang play.

Beeley soundly struck the ensuing penalty kick low, and into the back right corner of the net before her teammates mobbed her in celebration.

Less than four minutes later, she mistimed her play on an LHS goal kick as her

Lions counterpart, freshman Mikayla Downs, tried to fend her off.

“I headed her head instead of the ball,” a laughing Beeley said of the play that ended her night prematurely and had her leaving the field immediately after the game concluded so she could get her banged-up noggin further inspected — the FSHS Please see SOCCER, page 3C

FSHS baseball stumbles against Creighton, 7-0

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Any momentum Free State’s baseball team had entering this weekend’s River City Baseball Festival disappeared on Thursday night.

The Firebirds were held to just one hit in a 7-0 loss against Omaha Creighton Prep (Nebraska) at Kansas University’s Hoglund Ballpark.

Free State had strong pitching to keep the score close for the majority of the game but couldn’t get the

bats going against Creighton Prep junior left-hander Zac Zagozda, who tossed five no-hit innings while striking out eight and walking four.

“I think that since he was so comfortable with his curveball and throwing it in 1-0 counts and controlling it, that really kept us off balance,” Free State senior center fielder Joel Spain said.

“We were guessing on fastballs and curveballs.”

Blue Valley Northwest rallies past LHS, 7-4

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo

LAWRENCE HIGH’S MICHAEL SINKS (14) accepts congratulations from teammate Luke Zenger after scoring a run against Blue Valley Northwest on Thursday night at Hoglund Ballpark.

Lawrence High baseball coach Brad Stoll has told his players all season that the difference between the games they win and lose is just one or two plays.

The common theme was easy to see on Thursday when the Lions lost, 7-4, against Blue Valley Northwest in the River City Baseball Festival at Kansas University’s Hoglund Ballpark.

The Lions led, 4-3, after the fourth inning when senior Nolan Prochaska hit a leadoff single, moved up on a single from senior Nyle Anderson and scored on

a sacrifice fly from junior catcher Ivan Hollins.

But BV Northwest responded with three runs in the fifth inning. A throwing error on a pickoff helped the Huskies turn a leadoff single into a run on a single by the next batter, junior Nick Mehlin. After a walk and a hit batsman — one of the seven free passes issued by LHS pitchers — junior Cole Duensing made the Lions pay with a two-run double.

The Huskies also scored three runs in the third inning, taking advantage of an error on a potential doubleplay grounder and drawing three walks in the frame.

J-W Staff Reports

Bonnie Henrickson, fired by Kansas University as women’s basketball coach after 11 seasons without a Big 12 regularseason winning record, didn’t stay out of work for long.

UC Santa Barbara hired Henrickson to head its women’s basketball program, the school announced Thursday.

“Her head coaching experience and established recruiting contacts in California will be key in moving our program forward,” UCSB athletic director John McCutcheon said in a release put out by the school to announce the signing. “We are extremely fortunate to have a person with such a proven track record on and off the court of leadership and commitment to her student-athletes such as Bonnie join the Gaucho family.”

This is Henrickson’s third position as a Div. I head coach.

He first was at Virginia Tech, where in 1999, her second of seven seasons at the school, she went 28-3 overall and 15-1 in the Atlantic 10, earning the conference’s coach of the year honors.

Henrickson replaces Carlene Mitchell, who spent five seasons at UCSB after being hired from Rutgers, where she had been an assistant coach. In each season, Mitchell had fewer victories than the previous season. Her victory totals: 19, 17, 16, eight and two. Henrickson inherits a team that went 2-27 and 2-14 in the Big West, a mid-major conference.

“I am excited to be joining a prestigious academic university with such a strong history of success in women’s basketball,” Henrickson said in the release. “It’s clear that there is passion for women’s basketball in this community, and that matters.”

During Henrickson’s tenure, Kansas made it to the WNIT Final in 2009, and two Sweet 16 appearances in the NCAA Tournament (2012, 2013).

KU target Newman set to announce College basketball notebook. ...

Malik Newman, a 6-foot-3 senior combo guard from Callaway High in Jackson, Mississippi, who is ranked No. 8 nationally in the Class of 2015 by Rivals.com, will announce his college choice at noon today in a livestream event at clarionledger.com.

CBSsports.com’s Gary Parrish said earlier this week Newman would choose his dad’s alma mater, Mississippi State, over Kansas University, Kentucky, Mississippi, LSU and North Carolina State.

Newman has refuted the CBS report.

“When I sit down with my parents, if I think Mis-

sissippi State is the right place, then that’s where I’ll pick,” he told the Jackson Clarion-Ledger.

“Right now I’m down to my final four schools (Mississippi State, Ole Miss, KU and UK). I don’t really care what the media is saying. I think wherever is the best spot for me is where I’ll pick.”

Newman, who was expected to visit Mississippi and Mississippi State this week, has said he will not sign a letterof-intent, merely fill out scholarship papers. His dad, Horatio Webster, has said there have been offers for Malik to play overseas a year leading up to the 2016 NBA Draft. l Maker hoax: Thon Maker, a 7-foot senior from Orangeville Prep in Mono, Ontario, who is ranked

strong break on his curveball, never allowed a ball into the outfield during his five innings of work. Spain broke up the no-hitter in the sixth inning against Creighton Prep reliever Dane Hansen with a single to right field.

“We’ve got to understand sometimes trying to work the middle and opposite field is the best recourse,” FSHS coach Mike Hill said. “I don’t know that’s necessarily our approach, but to be a championship-type team, you have to beat a highcaliber pitcher — multiple high-caliber pitchers.

We’ve got a long ways to go before we’re ready to do that.”

The Blue Jays (15-3, ranked No. 2 in Nebraska’s Class A) took advantage of a few mental miscues in the third inning for a 2-0 lead. Their leadoff hitter, Lucas Ripa, reached on a walk — one of five allowed by the Firebirds — and junior left fielder Bobby Morgenson had a bunt single, which advanced Ripa to

“Our margin for error is not such where we can mess up a double play ball,” Stoll said.

“Our margin for error is not such where we can walk six and hit one. We can’t do that and we’re getting exposed for it.

The beautiful thing is in 24 hours we’ll be taking (batting practice) getting ready to play our next game.”

Hollins added: “When you’re always in a close game like that, that one error just brings you down. But then you’ve just got to look for that ‘next play’ mentality.”

The Lions (2-9) received a big boost from the bottom of their lineup. Their eighth hitter

— Free State coach Mike Hill third because no Free State fielder was covering the base.

Ripa scored a few pitches later on a double steal, and Morgenson worked his way around the bases after the Firebirds committed a pair of errors.

Free State junior lefthander Parker Tietjen limited Creighton Prep’s big bats by mixing his fastball and off-speed pitches, but he walked three hitters in the fifth inning, which allowed the Blue Jays to add two more runs to their lead.

“Parker kept them off balance,” Hill said. “We’re

in the lineup, Anderson, and nine hitter, Hollins, combined for three of the team’s six hits, a run and a RBI. “If Ivan and I get on with no outs and the top of the lineup comes around, that’s runs automatically,” said Anderson, who went 2-for-3.

“The top of our lineup is phenomenal. So we just do what we can do to get on base so they can score us.”

However, the Lions didn’t get the boost they were hoping for from the top of the lineup. Senior shortstop Michael Sinks hit a leadoff single in the second inning and eventually scored on a wild pitch.

Hollins and junior center fielder Daonte Lowery led off the third inning with back-to-back singles, scoring on a

No. 9 nationally by Rivals. com, said he was victim of a hoax this week. He said he was not responsible for putting a picture of Indiana and Kentucky No. 14 jerseys on his Facebook page with the words, “Which way? Hoosiers or Wildcats?”

Maker responded on Twitter: “Someone else pretending to be me and he’s misleading people on Facebook.”

Maker actually has a list of Kansas University, Kentucky, Indiana and Arizona State. Maker’s mentor has said he’s scheduled to graduate from high school in August. It’s possible he may not enroll at a college until second semester of the 2015-16 season. Presumably he’d leave for the pros after one semester of college ball in that scenario.

l Custer to Loyola: Former Iowa State guard Clayton Custer this week announced plans to transfer to Loyola University in Chicago. Custer was a former standout at Blue Valley Northwest, who was ranked No. 92 in the recruiting Class of 2014.

The 6-footer scored 13 points in 12 games for the Cyclones his freshman season. Custer’s former high school teammate, Ben Richardson, plays at Loyola as does former KU guard Milton Doyle. l Paschall to Nova: Former Fordham guard Eric Paschall has decided to transfer to Villanova over KU, Providence and Florida. l Grady on market: Anton Grady, second-lead-

ing scorer on Cleveland State’s basketball team, has decided to become a fifth-year graduate transfer, the Cleveland PlainDealer reports. Grady is a 6-8, 225-pound forward who averaged 14.3 points a game last season. Grady told ESPN’s Jeff Goodman he’s heard from KU, Kansas State, Iowa State, Xavier, Pitt, Dayton, Nebraska and North Carolina State. He’d be immediately eligible next season. l Walker to leave Florida?: There’s another interesting transfer who may be on the market.

Sophomore forward Chris Walker, a former McDonald’s AllAmerican, will be leaving Florida, according to Zagsblog.com and Scout. com. If the 6-10 sophomore does leave, he could

Our kids know that.”

Though the Firebirds (8-3, ranked No. 5) trailed only 4-0 in the fifth inning, they were still working on trying to get their first hit, which made their deficit feel larger.

“You kind of knew two runs the way things were going was going to be a little tough,” Hill said.

“We had one bad inning from a defensive perspective, gave up two there, and then I thought we did some good things defensively.”

Some of the good things defensively included a few scoops at first base by Marcileno Cortez, a few diving stops at third by Zion Bowlin, and a heads-up double play John Young/Journal-World Photo turned by second baseLAWRENCE HIGH’S CORTLYNN STARK (17) SHIELDS THE BALL from Free State’s Allyson Hertig man Cooper Karlin on a (14) and Maya Hodison (10) on Thursday night at FSHS. line drive.

13 lucky for Royals in Chicago Chicago (ap) — A benches-clearing fight led to five ejections several innings before Eric Hosmer hit the go-ahead double in the 13th to lead the Kansas City Royals to a 3-2 win over the Chicago White Sox on Thursday night.

With two outs, Hosmer’s hit off Chicago’s Jake Petricka (0-1) brought in Jarrod Dyson.

Wade Davis then pitched a scoreless 13th for his fourth save, giving Franklin Morales (2-0) the victory.

Kansas City won for the fourth time in five games in a game in which tempers flared.

In the seventh, Yordano Ventura snagged a grounder from Chicago outfielder Adam Eaton and they appeared to exchange words before Ventura threw to first to end the inning. Eaton had to be restrained from Ventura, who was ejected from a second straight start.

Players from both dugouts and bullpens ran onto the field and punches were thrown during a fight that lasted a couple of minutes.

The play was the culmination of tensions that seemed to rise during the game and carry over from their seasonopening series earlier this month when the teams combined to hit six batters. In the bottom of the fourth, Ventura hit Jose Abreu. In the top of the fifth, Chris Sale hit Mike Moustakas.

Ventura was thrown out after the fight. On Saturday, after he allowed a three-run homer to the Athletics’ Josh Reddick, he hit Brett Lawrie and was ejected.

The four others tossed Thursday were Kansas City outfielder Lorenzo Cain and pitcher Edinson Volquez, along with Chicago’s Sale and pitcher Jeff Samardzija.

For Ventura, it was his fourth consecutive start that ended abruptly. Besides the ejections, on opening day against the White Sox he left with a thumb cramp. He was replaced April 12 against the Los Angeles Angels because of a right calf cramp.

Kansas City has been in a fighting mood for a week now.

In that three-game series against Oakland last weekend, the Royals and A’s cleared their benches each day.

National League Giants 3, Dodgers 2, 10 innings San Francisco — Justin Maxwell, robbed of a big hit in his previous at-bat, singled home the winning run with one out in the 10th inning off Juan Nicasio (0-1) as the World Series champions completed a three-game sweep.

San Francisco tied the score in the ninth when Casey McGehee led off with a single, and Brandon Crawford tripled against Joel Peralta.

Santiago Casilla (20) pitched the 10th. The Dodgers arrived in San Francisco with a sevengame winning streak.

Perry helps to keep KU coaches relaxed

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Kansas offensive coordinator Rob Likens walked into his office at Anderson Family Football Complex in early April and found an unexpected gift of sorts waiting for him.

There, placed on a shelf sometime in Likens’ absence, sat a framed photograph of KU’s codefensive coordinator, Kenny Perry.

This would have caught Likens off guard had Perry not established himself as the unpredictable instigator on new coach David Beaty’s staff.

“He embraces that role,” Likens said. “He loves it.”

At Kansas practices this spring, Perry’s intensity while coaching the cornerbacks leads one to think he might not have a light-hearted cell in his DNA. That’s on-the-field Perry. The one ambling around the coaches’ office quarters, playing Elf on the Shelf with a framed photo of his own mug helps his fellow staffers retain their sanity while embarking on the arduous mission of turning around a downtrodden program.

“I like to bring a lot of different energy,” Perry explained. “I love coaching, and it’s so stressful you’ve gotta add some light to it.”

That’s why not long after Perry received a framed photo of himself from Beaty on his birthday, the assistant decided he could have some fun with it.

“It’s gonna be Coach

Perry on the Shelf,” the former TCU corners coach declared. “It’s gonna show up in different offices.”

Wearing a wry grin, Perry said he will decide who “deserves” the photo, which doubles as a trophy.

Countered a laughing Likens: “Yeah, I was a ‘winner,’ right, to have his photo?

Exactly.

That’s the way he Perry looks at it.”

Perry got his start as a high school assistant coach in 1994 and worked his way through the ranks, eventually landing at TCU as director of high school relations in 2013. Along the way, he decided to take on the practical joker route with his fellow coaches to alleviate the stress.

KU running backs coach Reggie Mitchell said he has worked on some staffs in the past and he didn’t want to be around his co-workers once practice ended. But he’s having a blast with this group assembled by Beaty, thanks in part to Perry’s ability to catch other assistants off guard with his wisecracks.

“You can put him in any circle of people and he’s gonna fit right in,” Mitchell said. “He has the kind of personality to make you feel like you’ve known him all your life.”

Beaty’s staff, the coaches hope, are building a foundation through their

camaraderie. Likens said they have more fun together than any staff he has worked on in 23 years. There is something to that, he added, because this can be a trying time for them as they attempt to build Kansas into a successful program.

“He comes off the practice field some day and his corners had a bad day and he’s down, I’m there to lift him up,” Likens added. “We all encourage each other, because we all understand the vision.

We all know it’s going to get there. It’s not there yet, and it’s gonna take some time.”

One benefit of that chemistry is that it can trickle down to the players — Likens has seen that happen before. It may not show up immediately, he added, because the Jayhawks wearing helmets and pads are still in the feeling-out process with their new coaches, seeing how they will react on good days and bad ones.

The more the players and the guys in charge can build strong relationships in the midst of this restoration phase, they’re betting it will pay off in the years to come.

“God hoping, we win a lot of games,” Perry said. “But there’s gotta be a happy medium.

You spend so much time together, if you’re not having fun you’re not happy together, and it doesn’t create a good house. Right now we got a great house. You’ll go through some growing pains, and you’ve gotta have a solid foundation.

I think that’s what David’s built.”

NBA PLAYOFFS

Curry lifts Warriors in OT The Associated Press

Warriors 123, Pelicans 119, OT New Orleans — Stephen Curry scored 40 points, including a 3-pointer in the final seconds of regulation to complete a 20-point, fourth-quarter comeback, and Golden State beat New Orleans in overtime Thursday night to take a 3-0 lead in their firstround playoff series.

Curry hit seven 3s in all, including one to start overtime that gave the Warriors the lead for good.

Klay Thompson had 28 points for the Warriors, who trailed 89-69 after three quarters, then outscored New Orleans 39-19 over the next 12 minutes.

Anthony Davis had 29 points and 15 rebounds for the Pelicans, but his missed free throw with 9.6 seconds left — as the crowd chanted “M-V-P!” — allowed Curry’s late 3 to tie it.

Davis had a chance to tie it in the final seconds of overtime, but Warriors center Andrew Bogut forced him into a difficult driving shot, which missed badly.

Bulls 113, Bucks 106, 2 OT Milwaukee — Derrick Rose scored 34 points, Jimmy Butler added 24 and Chicago beat Milwaukee in double overtime to take a 3-0 lead in their Eastern Conference playoff series.

Jimmy Butler got the second overtime off to a rousing start, intercepting a backcourt pass from Giannis Antetokounmpo and racing in for a layup.

It set the tone for an 8-0 run that gave Chicago a 109-101 lead with 2:44 left to finally shake the pesky Bucks.

Rose atoned for a missed free throw with 4 seconds left in regulation that left the game tied. He scored six points in the second overtime, including a layup off an offensive rebound with 2:15 left for a 10-point lead.
