Figuring out who is best at selling Lawrence to tourists and visitors may become a hot topic at City Hall.

The leader of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce has confirmed that he is lobbying to have the Lawrence convention and visitors bureau become part of the chamber’s organization, rather than a previously proposed plan where the group would become an official department of Lawrence City Hall.

“We feel Lawrence could lose a competitive edge if it becomes a part of City Hall,” Larry McElwain, president and CEO of the chamber said. “We don’t feel Lawrence is as competitive for conferences and workshops — especially during that

Sunday night to Thursday morning timeframe — as we could be.”

Currently, the CVB is a standalone entity that is run by the nonprofit board of Destination Management Inc., which also oversees the Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area. That organization currently is without a permanent director, which has sparked discussion about changing the structure of the city’s CVB, which operates under the name Explore Lawrence.

McElwain said if the CVB is part of City Hall, many of the bids it submits for conferences and conventions will be subject to open records law. If competitors have access to that sort of information, it may be tougher for Lawrence to produce winning bids for conferences and events.

City officials said they wanted to better understand that concern. Diane Stoddard, assistant city manager, said some efficiencies may be gained by having the CVB join the city’s ranks. Stoddard said the CVB already works closely with the Parks and Recreation and Public Works departments on hosting a variety of events. The city’s communications office works closely with the organization to publicize many events, and the city’s communications staff also includes graphic designers and web producers who would be able to provide services to the CVB. “There are a lot of issues to look at,” Stoddard said.

McElwain confirmed that the chamber brought up the idea of the CVB becoming part of the chamber about three months ago, which is about the time that the director of Destination Management Inc. resigned. McElwain said City Manager David Corliss wasn’t in favor of the idea. Corliss, however, is leaving for a new position in Colorado at the end of the month, Stoddard is taking over as interim city manager, and the make-up of the

measures how many county jail inmates typically would qualify for diversion to a separate mental health facility.

The meeting was originally scheduled for Monday, but County Administrator Craig Weinaug said the data collection “has been more difficult than I anticipated.”

County officials have said rising inmate populations and a greater need to provide mental health care are driving the projects.

City Commission has changed since then, too.

The CVB was part of the chamber of commerce for decades until Destination Management Inc. was formed in 2008.

Stoddard said she doesn’t have a specific timeframe for a decision to be made on the CVB future. Ultimately the City Commission will make the final decision on the issue. The CVB is funded through proceeds of the city’s 6 percent guest tax that is charged on all hotel rooms in the city. The City Commission directly controls that funding.

Under the chamber’s proposal, the city would continue to control that funding but the city would create a contract with the chamber to manage the CVB operations. The chamber is proposing that the CVB staff remain in their existing offices in the cityowned Carnegie Building at Ninth and Vermont streets. McElwain said the chamber would submit an annual budget request to the city for CVB funding. He said the chamber is not seeking any sort of management fee to oversee the operations. Transient guest tax funds would only be used to fund CVB operations, and would not be co-mingled with funds of the Chamber, he said.

Kansas City man pleads not guilty to attempted murder

By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

A 23-year-old Kansas City, Kan., man pleaded not guilty Friday to charges including attempted first-degree murder in connection with a January shooting at a Lawrence home.

Dashawn Clayborn is charged with attempted first-degree murder, automobile burglary, theft of a vehicle, attempting to elude police, criminal damage to property and driving while his license was suspended.

Clayborn is accused of

“Kenneth loves (Russian President Vladimir) Putin,” his 16-year-old sister, Lydia, jokes. “Publish that.”

“You can take your shirt off for the picture” to channel Putin, his mom, Juana Simons, says.

Kenneth spent most of his formative years in Lawrence, raised by Juana, who does education and outreach at The Merc, and his father, Caleb Palmer, a financial analyst. He has one other sister, Sophia, 21.

Although both parents continued their education after high school, Palmer is all set to be the first in his family to earn a bachelor’s degree at a four-year college. He’s not sure what his major will be, but he says he wants his career to be about service and humanitarian work.

shooting Stephen Patterson twice during a fight in the 3000 block of Steven Drive Jan. 30. Prosecutors allege that hours after the shooting, Clayborn stole a Honda Accord and led police on a high-speed chase that ended in a crash on Kansas 10 Highway near Eudora. During the pursuit, Clayborn allegedly crashed through a safety barricade.

Patterson survived the shooting and was released from Kansas University Hospital three days later.

Before entering his not guilty plea Friday, Clayborn waived his right to a school Palmer expected to attend. Liberal arts schools like Williams College and Amherst College caught his attention. And he didn’t have a set of helicopter parents who were grooming him for an Ivy League life.

Much like the trip to Russia he scored, he figured “why not” and sent Harvard an application.

What those admissions officers probably liked to see in that file was his general curiosity and the zeal he’s shown in the topics that interest him most.

When he was a freshman, he spent time walking from club to club just to check out what kinds of things they did.

He appeared on KCUR radio station last fall to talk about the “taboo” of political discourse among most high school students. He also helped found a student group whose mission was to better communicate what it meant to be an atheist, agnostic or just areligious.

Bethany College president takes job in Alabama

Lindsborg (ap) — Bethany College President Edward F. Leonard III is resigning to become president of an Alabama college.

Leonard, who has been Bethany president since August 2007, announced Wednesday that he will become president of Birmingham Southern College in Birmingham, Ala., this summer.

“President Leonard has made a significant impact on the history of Bethany College,” said Kris Ericson, chairwoman of the Bethany College board of directors. “He has established a positive trajectory for Bethany’s future.

However, the school has also consistently reported operating deficits.

“If I really liked (the subject), and I generally did, I was really engaged with it,” Palmer says. “If I don’t really, really like it, I have a hard time doing it.”

His family says his interests are what pulled him out of an intense shyness. As a child, he could go long stretches without talking and would not even pretend to sing on stage during school choirs.

But over the last few years he’s done things like stage elaborate poetry slams in class and form a two-man band (called Sexy Jesus) that features his “high-falsetto, nonsensical” singing.

He hopes to join choir or an a cappella outfit at Harvard — as well as the student newspaper and some kind of community service group.

Whatever path he chooses to take, he probably won’t do it quietly.

“He’s gong to make major waves and change in a positive way,” York, his former teacher, said.

Topeka — A plan to raise Kansas’ sales tax to erase a budget deficit failed Friday in the state House, and members of its Republican majority said they’ll be looking at alternatives that include backtracking on one of GOP Gov. Sam Brownback’s biggest economic policies.

The House refused on a voice vote to give firstround approval to a bill to increase the sales tax to 6.85 percent from 6.15 percent.

Supporters sought to offset criticism that the measure would hurt poor and working class families the most by also dropping the sales tax on food to 5.9 percent and reducing the state’s

lowest personal income tax rate to 2.55 percent from 2.7 percent.

The bill also would have eliminated most personal income tax deductions and waived penalties for people who owe back taxes for six weeks this fall to get them to pay up. But the bulk of the $363 million that would have been raised during the fiscal year beginning July 1 would have come from the sales tax increase.

Lawmakers must close a projected budget shortfall of $406 million for the next fiscal year that arose after they slashed personal income taxes in 2012 and 2013, at Brownback’s urging, to stimulate the economy. A key policy exempted Please see HOUSE, page 4A

SATURDAY COLUMN

Faculty also deserve commencement recognition

By Dolph C. Simons Jr.

The big story this weekend is Kansas University commencement with its various activities and approximately 4,500 students walking down Campanile Hill into Memorial Stadium on Sunday to receive their degrees. This is the university’s 143rd commencement ceremony with graduates from throughout Kansas, 46 states and 43 countries at the center of the event.

This program marks the end of hard academic work, many sacrifices by parents to finance their children’s college education, students working one or more jobs to pay their own way through school and many other challenges.

An interesting side story relative to these students would be to learn why they selected KU for their college education. Was it because other members of their families had attended KU? Was it the most convenient or least costly school? Was it because of the excellence of a particular KU program or the reputation of a professor or was it merely because “going to college was what was expected of me”?

Another good question is what graduates think about their experiences on Mount Oread and did it measure up to their expectations?

As noted above, the primary focus of attention this weekend will be the students, with far too many, particularly the general public sitting in Memorial Stadium, failing to consider the role and importance of the faculty members who lead the procession into the stadium. Usually, these men and women, dressed in their colorful robes and caps, are looked upon as merely supporting players in the exercise.

However, it is the level of excellence, achievement and dedication of these faculty members that causes a high percentage of top high school graduates to choose KU. These are the individuals who sustain and build the academic and research excellence of the university. They are the ones who make the difference between an average, runof-the-mill college and one of true academic distinction.

Unfortunately, a num-

ber of these teachers, researchers, deans and former deans will be ending their careers at KU this spring. They, too, are graduating, and it is a huge loss for the school and the state. They, too, were recruited by many of the top, elite universities and industries, but they made the decision to come to Lawrence and KU. John Gaunt, dean of the KU School of Architecture, Design and Planning, is leaving his post after 21 years. He is a true professional with national and world recognition as a former president and CEO of Ellerbe Becket in Minneapolis before coming to KU. He has elevated the School of Architecture to new heights.

Ed Meyen, professor emeritus of the School of Education, is stepping aside. He came to KU in the 1970s at a salary in the mid-$13,000 range and has been a giant in the field of education and support for children with developmental disabilities. KU’s special education program, thanks to the excellence and commitment of Meyen and others, is ranked No. 1 in the country.

COMMENTARY Consider the loss to the KU School of Law with the retirement of two former deans — Mike Davis and Martin Dickinson — who have a combined 90-plus years of service to the university. These two men are recognized not only for their excellence, their publications and their knowledge of the law but also for their leadership and interest in the community and the way in which they represent their profession and the university.

Another school losing two distinguished faculty members is the School of Music with Robert Foster and James Barnes stepping aside. These two men have a combined service of 84 years for KU. They have carried the KU flag as directors and composers throughout the world.

Ronald Borchardt is another “giant” who is leaving the university. A distinguished professor in pharmaceutical chemistry, he is recognized worldwide for his work on drug design and delivery. Superior students

throughout the world vie to come to KU to learn and be inspired by Borchardt and his associates.

By the way, Borchardt makes it clear he does not like the word “retire,” as he prefers to say he is “transitioning.”

This probably is true of other above-mentioned retirees, who are likely to

keep a hand in the business of education in one way or another.

Faculty members such as these have set extremely high standards and achievements for others to match, and their positions will be difficult to fill.

It is proper for the major share of the attention Sunday to be focused on the students receiving their degrees, but equal importance should be

placed on the critical role of the faculty members leading the procession. They are the ones who have the opportunity to excite, inspire and enthuse students to learn, question, explore and dream of what they can contribute to our society.

Special thanks should be given to all faculty members, particularly those who are completing their careers.

Tour to raise money for wounded veterans Wounded Warriors Family Support’s annual and national High Five Tour is asking Lawrencians to dip into their pockets on May 22 for the country’s veterans and military families,

Tax CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Democrats and one moderate Republican from Lawrence say there is little they can do, at least for the time being.

“They’re not even talking to us as Democrats,” said Rep. Boog Highberger.

“We’re not part of the process.”

Friday marked the 89th day of what is traditionally a 90-day session. So far, however, neither chamber has come up with a plan to close the estimated $406 million budget gap for the fiscal year that begins July 1. In fact, Friday’s vote was the first time either chamber had even voted on a revenue plan.

Lawrence-area House members argue that the sales taxes and removal of itemized exemptions would fall most heavily on lower-income taxpayers.

They prefer to roll back, or even repeal, some of the massive income tax cuts enacted in 2012 and 2013, including one that exempts more than 330,000 business owners from paying taxes on their business income.

After the sales tax proposal, which was offered by conservatives, went down in defeat on a voice vote, Republican Rep. Tom Sloan said income taxes eventually will have to be put on the table. But he doesn’t think that will necessarily happen soon.

“There is not anywhere

BRIEFLY said coordinator Ron Julianelle.

The tour, which is in its sixth year, aims to raise money to buy “mobilityequipped” vehicles for wounded veterans, said Julianelle.

The organization’s 17week tour will take two mobility-equipped cars, a

2015 Ford F-15 and 2015 Ford Explorer, to 65 cities in 48 states, he added.

Between 9 and 11 a.m. on May 22 the tour will stop at Laird Noller Automotive, 935 West 23rd St., said Julianelle.

There, people will be able to examine the specialized vehicles to better understand what the organization is

near a majority of votes to support the more conservative Republican perspective on how to pay for a budget,” Sloan said. “We will have to revisit the income tax law of 2012, and the leadership isn’t ready yet to do that.”

Those income tax cuts were a signature piece of Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s economic agenda. He and the conservatives who supported those cuts argue that income taxes, which they call “taxes on productivity,” stifle economic growth, and they prefer to shift the state’s tax system toward “consumption taxes,” such as the sales tax.

They had hoped, however, that those income taxes would spur such economic growth that revenue from sales and other forms of taxes would naturally grow on their own. That hasn’t happened, at least not to the extent needed to fund the state budget, and Friday’s vote showed that conservatives who still believe in that economic theory are not yet ready to raise the sales tax rate either.

“There’s no consensus on what it is we’re going to do to raise the revenues that are needed,” said Democratic Rep. Barbara Ballard.

“But they were running it up the flagpole because they had members on their side who wanted this one. I think they’re still fishing.”

After the bill failed, the House voted on a few other measures and then adjourned until Monday, which will officially be the

92nd day of the session.

Democratic Rep. John Wilson said the rest of the session will be difficult as the House struggles to find a way out of the budget hole.

“This is what it looks like when you’re backed into a corner, when you have a tax plan that passed in 2012 that is clearly causing problems for the state,” Wilson said.

“You have the most conservative Legislature ever elected, and (the fact that) they still can’t find stuff to trim in the budget means maybe they’re starting to see the writing on the wall.”

House Majority Leader Jene Vickrey remained confident after Friday’s vote that Republicans will eventually come to an agreement, but he admitted it will be difficult.

“Our expertise isn’t in raising taxes,” he said of the GOP caucus. “This was the first kind of step toward saying it’s time. We have to balance our budget.”

Highberger, however, said he thinks that GOP House leaders will eventually have to reach out to Democrats and moderate Republicans because he doesn’t think conservatives on their own can muster the 63 votes needed to pass their own tax bill. The question is how long that will take.

“Hopefully before June 30,” Highberger said.

That’s the last day of the current fiscal year, and the day when the state runs out of spending authority unless lawmakers can pass a balanced budget.

the profits of 281,000 business owners and 53,000 farmers from income taxes; Brownback championed it and wants to preserve it.

But House Taxation Committee Chairman Marvin Kleeb, an Overland Park Republican, said after the vote that Republicans must consider proposals to retax business profits and increase tobacco, alcohol and gasoline taxes. He said the House’s action signaled that many members think a sales tax of 6.85 percent is too high.

“We know more than we did before,” House Majority Leader Jene Vickrey, a Louisburg Republican, said after the session. “It’s about discerning where our members are.”

Legislators also are working on a separate proposal to increase an existing tax on health maintenance organizations to raise between $44 million to $80 million during the next fiscal year. Most of the increase would be paid by three companies managing the state’s Medicaid program for the poor and needy, allowing Kansas to draw additional federal funds to offset their extra costs.

The failure of both chambers to pass a tax plan will push the Legislature’s annual session beyond the traditionally scheduled 90 days, costing

a series of group study sessions this June and July, the organization said in a release.

The series, called “Government Relations & Lobbying: A Primer,” will be held at 3 p.m. every Wednesday in June and the first Wednesday in July at the Dole Institute, 2350 Pe-

Republicans acknowledged they’re split over keeping the tax break for business owners and farmers. If lawmakers don’t tinker with it, they’ll have to rely more heavily on increasing the sales tax or other taxes, but business groups are fighting the idea.

“We have made a commitment to business owners,” said Republican Rep. Randy Powell of Olathe.

During its debate, the House rejected a proposed amendment to re-

impose personal income taxes on farmers’ and business owners’ profits, at 2.55 percent. But Kleeb said the voice vote against it showed House Republicans wanted to first consider a bill centered on raising the sales tax.

Republican Rep. Kasha Kelley of Arkansas City said she was “sick” over supporting a sales tax increase but saw it as the best option for keeping the state on a path to phase out income taxes.

But Rep. Mike Kiegerl, an Olathe Republican, said he can’t support any tax increase until “we get government spending under control.” Kelley said she’s hoping Republicans will now trim spending.

LAWRENCE • STATE

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Law enforcement officers share their career experiences National Police Week was this past week. In honor of the occasion, we talked with some local officers about their experiences serving and protecting the Lawrence community.

Detective Amy Price, with the Lawrence Police Department for 20 years Why did you choose to become a law enforcement officer?

My parents were influential in my career choice from an early age. My dad was a medic in the Army as a young man and later worked the rest of his life as a minister and family counselor. My mom taught Price school for 30 years and now volunteers with Hospice.

As a child, my parents said, “You can be whatever you want to be.” As a teenager, my dad added a caveat: “Don’t just write jingles for deodorant commercials.”

What keeps you coming into work each day?

The opportunity to positively impact an investigation or situation, as all circumstances requiring police intervention are negative.

What has been the most rewarding experience you have had as an officer?

The most rewarding experiences are those where there is every indication that every person involved in an incident or investigation learned from the experience and, hopefully, history will not repeat itself.

What has been the most difficult or challenging experience you have had as an officer?

The most challenging thing is working within the criminal justice system.

It was created by human beings; therefore, it is and always will be imperfect.

What sacrifices have you made to keep our community safe?

It is difficult to discuss horrifying, devastating, embarrassing, life-altering or life-ending events with people day in and day out.

It is hard for me to leave my daily experiences at work, even if I make a cognizant effort to do so.

I know it takes a toll on my family, but I try hard to keep it all balanced.

at South Middle School and Lawrence High School. I was able to really establish some relationships with a lot of kiddos and adults in the community. They were able to get to know a cop on a personal level and learn that I am a regular guy. It was really cool to be able to mentor students and help guide several of them through some difficult stages in their lives.

I was named the Kansas SRO of the year in 2011 and Lynn Harrod, the SMS assistant principal, is a mentor for me and a lifelong friend who I never would have met if not placed in that position. Also, being promoted to the rank of sergeant was a pretty big deal to me. I was able to show my kids that through hard work and dedication that you can accomplish your goals; seeing them happy and proud of me was awesome!

What has been the most difficult or challenging experience you have had as an officer?

The fire on New Jersey Street where five people lost their lives. I was a young officer at the time and that was the first time I had to deal with something of that magnitude. I had to be treated for smoke inhalation, as there was a group of us in the back of the residence attempting to perform lifesaving measures on two occupants of the home.

At that time, my kids were ages 1 and 3, and so were two of the kids that perished in the fire. That was tough. It was an eye-opening experience and the first time I realized that this job could be dangerous.

What sacrifices have you made to keep our community safe?

Probably a better question for my wife! I have missed countless birthdays, school events, holidays and cookouts. When I was on midnight shift, it was probably a little worse, as I was tired and cranky all the time. Now, as a supervisor, I work at minimum 12-hour days. I don’t complain, though. I love going to work with the fine women and men on this police force. I don’t think people realize how hard their police department works for them, but that’s OK. We just keep going. If not us, then who?

a young lady who had lost her keys on the bus. She had extreme panic attacks and was unable to think clearly and was having difficulty breathing. I talked to her, got her calmed down and helped her find her keys.

Days later, she wrote a thank-you card telling me how nice it was that I treated her like a person and not just a call. Often, police get a bad reputation because we are perceived as just taking calls and everyone is a nuisance when, in fact, we do our best to treat people how we want to be treated.

What has been the most difficult or challenging experience you have had as an officer?

A difficult experience I have had has been as a member of my department’s honor guard and attending numerous law enforcement funerals in the area. I never imagined the emotions I would experience while attending another officer’s funeral and seeing the faces of the family and friends.

Each day I go to work Carpenter and it has the potential to be my last. A challenging aspect has been interacting with people who have made bad choices. I know that they have the potential to do better, but for whatever reason they don’t. Trying to help them when sometimes they don’t want help or don’t know how to accept it can be frustrating.

What sacrifices have you made to keep our community safe?

There have been plenty of times where I have had to either stay late to complete reports or have had to come in on my days off to work special events. The KU Public Safety Office has full staff present at major sports events on campus and many other events including move-in and graduation. Some of those have led me to miss my son’s soccer games and other family activities. If it were not for my wife and family’s understanding, it would be extremely difficult.

better place.

What has been the most difficult or challenging experience you have had as an officer?

The current negative climate nationally, which has been perpetuated by the media and some politicians, concerning law enforcement officers has been one of the most difficult things to deal with as an officer.

Garcia Many people are sometimes rude and disrespectful to police officers but have no idea the sacrifice the officers make to keep the community safe.

What sacrifices have you made to keep our community safe?

I was injured on duty in 2011 by a suspect and required knee surgery and several months of physical therapy. Also, as a law enforcement officer, I feel that I have sacrificed the ability to see the good in all people and instead often see things in a jaded or skeptical light since I often times see the very worst in people while I am working.

Officer Sutagee Anglin, with the LPD for 11 years

Why did you choose to become a law enforcement officer?

My college education was toward being a high school teacher and coach.

It wasn’t until the end of my junior year that my life’s path changed and I needed to find a career immediately. A previous coach of mine suggested law enforcement, claiming I had the right “temperament” for it.

What keeps you coming into work each day?

Regarding the Training Unit, knowing that I will have a direct effect on recruits that the department will hire and then be able to help train them so they can become the best law enforcement officers for the city of Lawrence.

What has been the most rewarding experience you have had as an officer?

Dear Annie: My next-door neighbor has made my husband and me feel like prisoners in our own home.

The day we moved into our house, she stood in our front yard and asked where each piece of furniture was going to be placed in the home. When we have family and friends over for a backyard barbecue, she walks right over to the grill and interrupts our meal. Anytime one of us is outside, she immediately comes by to ask what we are doing or to gossip about other neighbors.

Her children are rude, as well. Her oldest daughter leaned into my daughter’s face and deliberately belched.

I don’t even want my daughter to play with her children, which is too bad because they live so close. I encourage

play dates with children I know are raised with similar manners and values as ours.

I have wanted to put up a fence since we moved in, but my husband doesn’t think that’s a good idea. He’s concerned that these people will say, “We are good neighbors.

Why do they need to put up a fence?” and that it will reflect poorly on us.

My idea of being a neighbor is saying hello with a wave and then going about my business.

Blues legend Bessie gets HBO biopic “Bessie” (7 p.m., HBO) has a lot of history to live up to.

Perhaps too much. This film biography of blues legend Bessie Smith (Queen Latifah), directed by Dee Rees and based on a story by Rees and the late Horton Foote (“To Kill a Mockingbird”), has been incubating for 22 years.

A handsome production with a great cast, “Bessie” evokes the era of vaudeville, particularly the black corner of the industry in the second decade of the 20th century, when artists like Ma Rainey (Mo’Nique, “Precious”) commandeered their own private railroad cars to convey traveling shows to cities all over the South. Throughout her career and this film, Smith would transcend live shows to become an early recording star for Columbia Records, inspiring generations of singers, including Nina Simone and Janis Joplin.

“Bessie” concentrates on Smith’s many lovers, both male and female, and flashes back to her cruel upbringing by her older sister (Khandi Alexander, “Treme”) after the death of their mother. Michael Kenneth Williams (”Boardwalk Empire”) plays Smith’s manager and husband.

“Bessie” explores the social pecking order within the black culture of the segregation era.

In early scenes, auditioning performers must pass a “paper bag test.” Their skin must appear lighter than the average paper bag. After she achieves fame, Smith reverses the test’s chromatic order, rejecting “yellow” performers who try too hard to “pass.”

Like many biopics, “Bessie” is a little too reverent and a little too long. Latifah does a good job of revealing Smith’s defiance and resilience. But in the film’s many musical performances, she’s almost too buoyant, lacking in the palpable gravity and sadness below the surface of Smith’s recordings.

Mo’Nique’s Ma Rainey evokes more of that world-weary wisdom. Her scenes in the film are too few.

Tonight’s other highlights

The surviving couples share their stories on “Dancing With the Stars” (7 p.m., ABC).

Miranda Hart, Rupert Everett, Greg Davies and Electro Velvet appear on “The Graham Norton Show” (9 p.m., BBC America).

BIRTHDAYS Singer Janet Jackson is 49.

Political correspondent Tucker Carlson is 46. Actress Tori Spelling is 42. Actress Lynn Collins is 38. Actress Megan Fox is 29.

We now have to open the door and look around before going anywhere. We end up spending the majority of our outdoor time in the side yard opposite these neighbors so they can’t see us. We are considering moving.

Should I say something to this neighbor? I’m pretty sure the outcome won’t be helpful if I do.

How do I deal with this situation? — Trapped

By Nosy Nellie Dear Trapped: By all means, put up a fence.

You are entitled to your privacy, and if your neighbor doesn’t like it, too bad. She is holding you prisoner because you allow it. Stop worrying about what she will think. Always be polite to her, but do what you need to do in order to enjoy your home.

Dear Annie: I’m re-

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Saturday, May 16: This year your creativity marks your actions and thoughts. You discover the endless possibilities available to you, and you drop the word “impossible” from your vocabulary. If you are single, you are unusually attractive to members of the opposite sex. If you are attached, you might be a little more me-oriented than in past years.

Be sensitive to your significant other’s needs.

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 pushed to the max with your finances in general. If you can, pull back.

Tonight: Join friends for dinner.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You’ll feel empowered by a conversation with a loved one. Don’t even try being alone.

Tonight: Where the action is.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You might be hesitant to take a day off or to schedule some downtime without having set plans. Tonight: Not to be found.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Aim for more of what you want from a situation. Make it OK to make plans that please you.

Tonight: Where the gang is.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Make extra time for a loved one or someone you really care about. Be more playful with a child. Tonight: Plans seem to

sponding to “Played for a Fool” and others who have loaned money.

I’ve learned the hard way about the need to document financial transactions.

If I loan money to a friend or family member, or sell something requiring payment, I type up a simple loan agreement, date it and state the amount borrowed and the repayment terms. All parties must sign it.

It is such a simple thing to do, and documentation avoids stress and hard feelings. Also, if a large amount of money is involved, and you need to go to court, you have evidence to present to the judge. — Spokane, Wash.

revolve around you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Deal directly with someone you care about. You could be triggered by this person.

Tonight: Read between the lines.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You will decide to defer to others, and you will be happy to allow someone else to take control. Tonight: A must appearance.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Others seem to roll with the ball and make plans without even checking in. Tonight: Go with the program.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Take some time off from the hectic pace and say “no” to offers and invitations. Tonight: Togetherness is the theme.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’ll greet the day like a child going to an amusement park. You’ll add extra zip to whatever you do. Tonight: Accept an offer.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Invite a dear friend over for an early dinner or some other activity you both like to participate in. Tonight: Happiest at home.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You will want to rethink a decision carefully. A loved one might be withholding his or her feelings. Tonight: Get together with friends.

Mutual suspicions will remain, but the meeting represented an important consolidation of ties with Sunni Arab powers as the U.S. heads toward a potential breakthrough agreement with Shiite Iran.”

dation of ties with Sunni Arab powers as the U.S. heads toward a potential breakthrough agreement with Shiite Iran.

Obama, in effect, is adopting a strategy of riding two horses at once — an approach Iran, Saudi Arabia and other regional powers have often adopted.

The Camp David setting seems to have helped lighten the atmosphere. After a somewhat stiff morning session devoted to briefing the leaders on the progress of the Iran talks, the leaders adjourned to lunch.

After that, the mood changed.

During the afternoon, the leaders talked informally about regional challenges in Syria, Iran and Libya, with Saudi, Emirati and Qatari leaders raising their hands to interject and offer comments and suggestions.

The mood in this afternoon session was “really, really positive,” said one attendee. “We came away with a collective spirit we didn’t have before the meeting.”

Secretary of State John Kerry told the group about his visit this week with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and the U.S. hope that the Russians will join in sponsoring a process of political transition away from the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Other U.S. officials urged Gulf leaders who are funding the opposition to keep control of their clients, so that a post-Assad regime isn’t controlled by extremists from the Islamic State or al-Qaida.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for May 16, 1915: years “‘Every one out ago for the good IN 1915 roads day next Thursday,’ is the slogan that has been adopted on Massachusetts street. A large number of the business men have signified that they will be on the scene for the day in the country working the roads.

The crowd will go out on the roads west of Stull. Every one that goes will be expected to take a little lunch with him…””

OLD HOME TOWN

PUBLIC FORUM To the editor: On May 18, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson stood in the White House Rose Garden to announce the creation of Head Start. Head Start laid the foundation for my future success in life, and today, as an educator and administrator, I see the lifechanging impact Head Start continues to have on at-risk children and their families.

I grew up one of six children in Iola, where my father worked as a mechanic and my mother was a housekeeper and cook for other families in the community. They could not afford to enroll me in preschool, so when they heard about the new local Head Start program, they immediately enrolled me.

Head Start instilled in me a confidence and lifelong love of learning that would lay the foundation for my future success, both in school and in life. I went on to excel in school, graduating college and going on to obtain my master’s and doctoral degrees.

Today, I am the associate dean of students and director of multicultural affairs at Baker University.

I am convinced that when we are able to provide a quality early childhood education to our nation’s most vulnerable children, we will see more children are able to realize their full potential and go on to become contributing members of their communities.

So, as Head Start centers across the country plant rose bushes in celebration of 50 years of success, let’s renew our commitment to Head Start and plant the seeds for 50 more years of opportunity.

Teresa L. Clounch Baldwin City

A joint statement issued by the group took an anti-Assad line, but without the emphatic “Assad must go” tone used by Obama three years ago. This time, the communique “reaffirmed that Assad has no legitimacy and has no role in Syria’s future.” How this change will be accomplished wasn’t explained, and probably hasn’t yet been agreed upon.

The importance of the meeting was symbolic, but that’s not a trivial matter. In contrast to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who harangued Obama and lobbied against the Iran nuclear deal from the floor of Congress, the Gulf Arab leaders have said, in effect, that they’ll support the deal so long as Obama keeps Iranian proxies from advancing further in the Sunni world.

For once, in the theater of the Middle East, the Arabs have opted to be the good guys, compared with an unyielding Israeli government. And Obama has responded with the sentiment conveyed by the Arabic expression, “Ahlan wa Sahlan.” You are welcome.

etunias, geraniums, impatiens and other annual flowers are popular reliable fillers for containers and landscape beds, but there are other options to provide summer color and interest to the garden. For an especially unique touch, try incorporating some of the tropical plants typically sold as indoor plants into your outdoor plant palette.

Shopping in the indoor plant section for outdoor plants really only adds one challenge: Light requirements on the labels refer to indoor conditions rather than outdoor. But all of these plants live outdoors somewhere, so they can live outdoors here for at least part of the year if given the right conditions.

For best results with tropical plants outdoors, look primarily for plants labeled for bright indoor conditions. Even the shadiest places outside are typically brighter than a sunny window indoors. Some plants will be able to tolerate a wide range of light conditions, while plants labeled for low indoor light conditions may only tolerate dense shade outdoors.

Besides paying a little extra attention to the light requirements, mix and match plants just as if shopping only in the outdoor annual section.

Old favorites can easily be mixed with indoor tropical plants. Use containers appropriate for the size and number of plants, and consider tucking larger planters into a corner or propping

Death for Boston bomber Jury doesn’t buy Tsarnaev’s big brother defense G. Jeffrey MacDonald Special to USA TODAY

BOSTON A jury of seven women and five men sentenced Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to death by execution, closing one of the most painful chapters in this city’s history.

Tsarnaev looked straight ahead, showing no emotion, as the sentence was read. Jurors wiped away tears as the judge thanked them for their service.

“Your service as jurors in this

case has been the very antithesis of mob law,” U.S District Judge George O’Toole Jr. told the jury.

“You can and you should be justly proud of your service.”

The judgment comes from the same jury who found Tsarnaev guilty on all 30 counts related to the April 15, 2013, bomb attacks and four-day manhunt. The jury found him responsible for killing four people, maiming 17 and injuring Tsarnaev hundreds more.

Reaction to the sentencing was swift with praise for the difficult work of the jury in making a decision that many said was just.

Marathon survivor Sydney

Corcoran posted on Twitter that she was relieved with the decision.

“My mother and I think that NOW he will go away and we will be able to move on. Justice. In his own words, ‘Eye for an eye.’ ” Carmen Ortiz, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts, said after the decision that Tsarnaev’s crime was not FBI motivated by religion; it was motivated by politics. She said the gravity of the crime, the murder of a child, a police officer and two young women merited the death penalty.

“This was an act of terror,” she

said.

It all came down to one question: Should Tsarnaev be put to death or spend the rest of his life in a federal prison with no possibility of parole?

In reaching their verdict, the jurors weighed 12 aggravating factors against 21 mitigating factors. They were charged to consider the suffering Tsarnaev caused, his intent and his character, among other things.

By choosing death, the jurors rejected the defense’s efforts to show Tsarnaev’s older brother Tamerlan was the mastermind of the attack and the younger man was only following a charismatic, domineering sibling.

U.S. airlines seek to stop ‘bleeding’ CEOs go looking for government to step in over Gulf subsidies Bart Jansen USA TODAY

The CEOs of the three largest U.S. airlines — American, Delta and United — asked Friday for immediate government action to freeze flights from Persian Gulf rivals or risk the loss of thousands more jobs from unfair competition.

The CEOs say their companies are losing business because Gulf

airlines receive subsidies from their governments to offer flights that wouldn’t be profitable otherwise.

“They are bleeding traffic away through subsidization,” Jeff Smisek, United’s CEO, told the USA TODAY editorial board.

Doug Parker, American’s CEO, warned that if the Gulf carriers aren’t blocked now from subsidized flying largely from the Middle East, they will spread to European hubs that are lucrative to U.S. airlines. Hubs throughout the U.S. that funnel passengers toward international flights would suffer, he said.

The U.S. airlines contend that three Gulf airlines — Emirates, Etihad Airways and Qatar Airways — received subsidies from their governments totaling $42 billion over the past decade. The

U.S. carriers’ allegations are basically that their Gulf rivals get nointerest loans and subsidized ground services from their governments.

The Gulf airlines have vigorously disputed that, saying they v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Long-lasting El Niño could drench West in drought relief

Soggy pattern may stick around awhile Doyle Rice USA TODAY

El Niño is likely to persist well into 2015, a longer-than-expected stay that could bring some relief to the historic drought gripping the West, federal scientists announced this week.

As of this week’s U.S. Drought Monitor, a federal website that tracks drought, 98% of California, 99% of Utah and 99% of Nevada remained in drought, which ex-

tends from northern Washington to the Southwest.

Washington’s drought has worsened to the point that Gov. Jay Inslee declared a drought emergency for the entire state on Friday. California has been in a drought emergency since January, sparking mandatory water restrictions for the first time in the state’s history.

The El Niño climate pattern, defined as warmer-than-average sea-surface temperatures in the central Pacific Ocean, affects weather around the world and often helps spur precipitation in the western and southern U.S. “There is an approximately

90% chance that El Niño will continue through the summer 2015, and a greater than 80% chance it will last through 2015,” the Climate Prediction Center said in a statement.

This El Niño officially began in March and has now reached a “weak to moderate” state.

If a strong El Niño does develop and persists into the winter, the likely U.S. impacts would include wetter-than-average conditions across the southern half of the country, from California through Texas to Florida, according to Weather Underground meteorologist Jeff Masters.

“The pattern of El Niño

“There is an approximately 90% chance that El Niño will continue through the summer 2015.”

Climate Prediction Center

strengthens the southern storm track across the U.S., especially during the winter, spring and autumn months,” said AccuWeather meteorologist Ben Noll.

El Niños also tend to suppress

hurricane activity in the Atlantic.

The weak El Niño has been significant enough to contribute to heavy rain and a big reduction in drought in Texas and the southern Plains in the past few weeks, according to AccuWeather.

As for California, “There is some hope for drought relief in the Golden State,” Masters said, “given that the odds of an wetterthan-normal California rise sharply for the strongest El Niño events, but by no means would a wet winter be guaranteed.”

This El Niño is also fueling record warmth worldwide. The first four months of the year are the warmest on record for the planet.

get no unfair favors and that U.S. airlines are trying to prevent competition. Etihad released a report Thursday arguing that since 2000 U.S. airlines received $70 billion in benefits of bankruptcy law, largely for debt relief and reduced pension obligations.

The U.S. airlines are asking the federal government to open formal consultations with United Arab Emirates and Qatar to end the alleged subsidies.

The U.S. airlines have also asked the government to block additional flights from the Gulf airlines until the dispute is resolved.

“It’s clearly a stall tactic so they can get as much service in as they can before our government acts — because our government is going to act,” Parker told USA TODAY. “We’d like the subsidized flying to discontinue — and certainly growth in the subsidized flying.”

The departments of Transportation, State and Commerce have begun collecting comments about the allegations, and a detailed review is expected to begin later this month.

The claims are urgent, according to the executives, because the Gulf airlines have already boosted traffic to the U.S. by 25% — through new routes and larger planes — since the allegations were made in January. Qatar Airways just announced new routes to Atlanta, Boston and Los Angeles starting in 2016.

“There is no evidence whatsoever of any harm caused by Etihad Airways to any of the three big U.S. airlines,” Jim Callaghan, Etihad’s general counsel, told USA TODAY on Thursday.

All three Gulf carriers denied receiving subsidies, while acknowledging investment from their government owners. Akbar Al Baker, CEO of Qatar Airways, told reporters Wednesday that U.S. carriers offer “crap service”

on their planes, and are upset that “they can’t compete” with the Gulf carriers.

The American executives said they are spending a combined $12 billion a year on new planes and improved technology, such as WiFi in flight. Anderson cited Transportation Department statistics that showed “significant improvement” in areas such as on-time arrival and complaints.

“The track record is strong and the level of investment by the industry in airplanes, airports and technology is unprecedented at today’s level,” Anderson said.

The executives argued they have already been harmed from lost flights that represent 800 U.S. jobs per international route.

For example, Gulf airlines offer flights to countries, such as India, that some U.S. airlines don’t serve. U.S. executives say they would like to fly to India if the competition were fair.

United now has two flights per day to India — to Delhi and Mumbai. But Delta now has none, after earlier having four flights and planning a fifth, representing 4,000 jobs lost or never filled, Anderson said.

The executives worried that the Gulf airlines would expand the number of flights to and from Europe. For example, Emirates began flying a large Airbus A380 from Milan to New York’s JFK airport that the CEOs say is unprofitable because the plane is too large to fill all the seats. They say that type of route is unjustified and obviously subsidized.

Smisek joked his company would send him to the employeeassistance program if he proposed such a route for United.

“We are under attack here from subsidized carriers who are basically taking our passengers — not through fair competition,” Smisek said. “When you’re competing against arms of the state and the treasury of oil-rich nations, that’s a pretty tough row to hoe.”

Antarctic ice shelf ‘will be gone’ by 2020 Antarctica's Larsen B ice shelf is likely to shatter into hundreds of icebergs before the end of the decade, according to a new study.

Doyle Rice USA TODAY

The last remaining section of Antarctica’s Larsen B ice shelf, which partially collapsed in 2002, is quickly weakening and likely to disintegrate completely by 2020, said a new study released today.

“Although it’s fascinating scientifically to have a front-row seat to watch the ice shelf becoming unstable and breaking up, it’s bad news for our planet,” study lead author Ala Khazendar of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory said in a statement. “This ice shelf has existed for at least 10,000 years, and soon it will be gone.”

Ice shelves are permanent

floating sheets of ice that connect to a landmass, such as Antarctica, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center. They are the gatekeepers for glaciers flowing from Antarctica toward the ocean, according to NASA. With-

out them, glacial ice enters the ocean faster and accelerates the pace of global sea-level rise.

The remaining section of the Larsen B ice shelf is roughly the size of 27 Manhattan Islands.

When it goes, the ice shelf will

shatter into hundreds of icebergs.

Since it’s already floating ice, these pieces will not directly contribute to sea-level rise.

The Larsen B Ice Shelf is on the eastern side of the Antarctic Peninsula, the part of Antarctica that looks like an arm reaching toward South America. The peninsula has warmed 4.5 degrees Fahrenheit since 1950, making it one of the fastest-warming places on Earth.

Scientists think that recent ice shelf collapses in both the Arctic and Antarctica are related to climate change.

The study appears in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters and was written by researchers from NASA and the University of California at Irvine.

IN BRIEF MIAMI BEACH COPS PROBED FOR RACIST, SEXIST EMAILS

An internal affairs probe in Miami Beach found that two highlevel former police officers sent hundreds of crude, racist and pornographic emails to fellow cops over a two-year period, the state’s attorney and police officials say.

The officials said late Thursday that the incidents may have compromised dozens of criminal cases in which the officers were witnesses.

Many involved crude racial jokes about President Obama or black celebrities like Tiger Woods and Snoop Dogg, the officials told reporters at a news conference.

One shows a woman with a black eye and the caption, “Domestic violence. Because sometimes, you have to tell her more than once.”

Another featured an image of “Black Monopoly,” in which every board game square shows a cop saying “Go to Jail.”

Some of the emails, all sent via city email servers, made fun of women and undocumented immigrants, and were sprinkled with pornographic images.

Chief Daniel Oates told reporters that at least 16 officers sent or received 230 offensive emails, mainly between 2010 and 2012.

“I can’t tell you how angry we are,” Oates said. “We want to send a message to our officers and our employees that this kind of behavior is over.”

A big fish that lives deep in the Pacific Ocean has been found to be warm blooded, like humans, other mammals and birds.

Researchers from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) determined that unlike other fish, opah generate heat as they swim and distribute the warmth throughout their entire disc-shaped bodies by special blood vessels. Special “counter-current heat exchangers” in their gills minimize heat loss, allowing the deepwater predators to keep their bodies several degrees above the water temperature 250 feet down.

COPTER FOUND; SURVIVORS ‘UNLIKELY’ Kim Hjelmgaard and Doug Stanglin USA TODAY

Wreckage from a missing U.S. military helicopter was found in a rugged, remote area of Nepal, and it is “ unlikely” that any of the six Marines or two Nepali soldiers on board survived, the U.S. military confirmed Friday.

Nepal’s Defense Secretary Iswori Poudyal said army rescuers found three bodies where the Huey helicopter went down.

Recovery operations ceased Friday amid treacherous conditions, including violent winds and below freezing temperatures. Recovery will resume at first light today, the military said.

The chopper was delivering aid to victims of the devastating April 25 Nepal earthquake when it went down Tuesday, the same day as a second major temblor in the country.

After the Nepali military spotted the wreckage, the U.S diverted choppers already in the air to the site but called off the effort be-

Wissler said he was unable to positively identify immediately the remains found but said it is “unlikely there are any survivors at this time.”

He praised those killed as “courageous, selfless individuals, dedicated to the international humanitarian mission.”

Wissler described the crash site, located at an elevation of 11,000 feet, as an “extremely dense forest, and exceptionally rugged terrain.”

About 300 U.S. military personnel have been supporting the aid mission in Nepal.

NATION Presidential race costs senators votes Candidates skip Senate floor votes to hit the trail Ledyard King USA TODAY

When the Senate voted Tuesday to debate a controversial bill to fast-track trade deals, Republican Marco Rubio was in Florida raising money for his presidential run.

Rubio is passionate on the subject of trade, but he also faces daunting — and time-consuming — demands to meet activists in key states and raise millions for his White House campaign.

For Rubio, one of four senators seeking the presidency, meeting those demands has meant missing nearly 20% of Senate floor votes so far this year. Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz, another presidential contender, has missed more than 25%.

The two other announced candidates — Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont — have missed only a handful of the 180 roll call votes WASHINGTON

taken through Thursday. A fifth senator, Republican Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, is expected to announce a presidential campaign soon.

It’s a common dilemma for lawmakers seeking the presidency: how to balance the demands of a national campaign with the responsibilities of representing constituents.

“If you do well and make significant progress (as a candidate), then people are rather proud of you,” said Arizona Sen. John McCain, who was criticized for missing votes when he ran for president in 2008. “If you fail to gain any traction, then they’re going to be asking why you wasted all that time in Iowa and New Hampshire.”

Fellow lawmakers can be among a presidential contender’s toughest critics. After Cruz skipped last month’s vote that confirmed Loretta Lynch as attorney general, his spokeswoman, Amanda Carpenter, tweeted that “the only vote that mattered” was the one Cruz cast earlier that day on a procedural motion to block her nomination from reaching the floor.

Sen. Ted Cruz speaks May 9 in Greenville, S.C. As of May 15, he had missed over 25% of Senate floor votes as he campaigns.

Cornyn of Texas, a fellow Republican, tweeted his irritation two days later: “FYI: Cloture ends debate only. It does not confirm a nominee. Otherwise a subsequent vote on whether to confirm a nominee is meaningless.”

Republican Sen. John Thune of South Dakota, who flirted with a presidential run in 2012, said

he’s concerned that frequent absences by GOP senators running for president could make it tougher for the party to advance its agenda after retaking control of the Senate in last year’s election. Republicans hold 54 of the chamber’s 100 seats.

A new highway funding bill, reauthorization of the Patriot Act

anti-terrorism law and a defense authorization measure are among the issues Congress still must resolve this year. Thune, a member of the GOP Senate leadership, said he’s fairly confident that senators running for the White House will show up when it matters.

“They realize that for us to transact anything around here we’re going to need their votes, so I hope that they’ll be available,” he said.

So far, Paul has been the most diligent about attendance, missing two of the 180 floor votes.

“My first obligation will be to the position I was elected to, and that’s the Senate,” he said recently. “I’ll do my very best to be there when the Senate’s in business.”

Ceremony for fallen officers Annual event has special meaning in a year of tension Greg Toppo USA TODAY

Thousands of police officers from across the world converged on the U.S. Capitol on Friday morning for the 34th annual National Peace Officers’ Memorial Service.

The hours-long ceremony on the west side of the U.S. Capitol is highlighted each year by a solemn reading of each of the names of officers who died in the line of duty the previous year. This year the list ran to nearly 130 names.

Tommy Davis of the Midland County, Texas, Sheriff’s Office, said the ceremony was especially poignant for his department. In 2014, Michael J. Naylor became the first officer of the department to be killed in the line of duty. He was one of 10 Texas law enforcers who died while on the job last year.

“Regardless of how people perceive us — they like us, they hate us — we still have a job to do,” Davis said. “We swore an oath.”

Community and police relations are on the mind of police departments around the country with high-profile and controversial shootings of unarmed black men by police. The latest, the death of Freddie Gray while in the custody of Baltimore police, led to several days of violent protests.

As officials onstage prepared to read a list of the more than 200 officers who died in the line of duty in 2014, Smith pointed toward the memorial nearby with the names of fallen officers, and said, “I worked with more than one of them.”

He said police-community relations would improve. “Better days are coming. It’s just going to take a little time.”

After the service, a wreath-laying ceremony nearby at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial has been held annually since 1982. The ceremony comes near the end of Police Week, which was designated in 1962 by President John F. Kennedy.

The week-long event draws tens of thousands of law enforcement officers from around the world. Organizers say as many as 40,000 people attend most years.

is always expensive, I reasoned.

Which brings us to another rule: Nothing’s eternal on Wall Street. Growth investing ruled from 1982 through 2000. But bargain-hunting came back into vogue after the tech wreck. No one wanted a stock with a P-E over 15 after 2000.

In the wake of the meltdown, tech stocks got even more expensive because earnings slumped.

Not only was the economy slowing, but many companies had

shot their tech budget in 2000, preparing for a world that did not end because of the Y2K bug. And companies were in no mood to spend on IT in the middle of an epic bear market.

I held on, assuming that sooner or later, a rising economy would lift the stricken tech sector.

And I was absolutely, completely right. But it happened in 2006.

dicts, won’t be so bad either: an average $2.69 a gallon.

The average household will spend $675 less for gas this year than last year, the department said this week. As a result, look for more travel.

AAA predicts the Memorial Day weekend alone will see a 5.3% gain in car travel compared with the same three days last year. Gas prices likely won’t change much in the next couple of weeks until the holiday, it says.

The wild card when it comes to gas prices will continue to be California, which operates almost as a separate gasoline market from the rest of the country when it come to volatility.

After summer, look for bigger price drops. Barring hurricanes, which can temporarily drive prices through the roof if Gulf Coast refineries shut down, many stations around the country will be back to $2-a-gallon gas, Kloza says.

2004 and breaking $40, briefly, in January 2006. I finally threw in the towel at about $40 in 2006.

All of this brings us to three more observations: uThere’s a point at which “being early” becomes “being wrong.” Many of the technology predictions of the tech bubble came true: The Internet was, in fact, an enormous game-changer.

It’s just that these things happened much later than people thought, and investors paid too much for the wrong companies.

All those people who have been predicting rampant inflation the past decade? They’re not early.

They’re wrong. uHope is not a great investment strategy. Even if Microsoft and Intel were old tech, I hoped that American technological superiority would eventually produce a winner. It did, in the form of Google and other new tech giants. But it took far longer than many thought. uBuy-and-hold in volatile areas like technology or emerging markets is a lot easier in theory than in practice. One money manager told me, long after my QQQ debacle, that there are very few long-term technology investments.

Most are trades, because technology becomes obsolete so quickly. Digital Equipment gives way to Lucent, which gives way to Google. And if you have other things to do in your life — like being a daily reporter — you probably don’t have the time or attention span to monitor trades.

In the past three years, of course, QQQ has rocketed, with some justification.

Americans really are good at technology. But QQQ’s good years don’t entirely make up for the many dead years. On an annualized basis, QQQ has gained about 9.6% since Sept. 10, 2001.

The Standard and Poor’s 500 index has gained 16.4%. I would have been better off in a broad S&P 500 index fund the whole time.

There’s value in making the occasional speculative investment, provided you don’t need the money for a new iron lung. And, of course, you have to take those lessons to heart — especially the ones you learn from your mistakes. Anyone can make a good investment and think he’s a genius. But it’s the bad ones that teach you the most, if you’re open to learning.

The best investments for most people are widely diversified, lowcost funds that you throw money into on a regular basis. As long as you resist the urge to time the market, and as long as you have enough time in the market, everything should be fine.

Which brings me to one of my best investments: working as a columnist and reporter at USA TODAY for a quarter of a century.

My long-suffering editors have let me make bad jokes and write far too much about bonds. And I’ve worked with some wonderful friends, who are also some of the best writers in the business.

My real pleasure, though, has been writing for USA TODAY’s readers, a tough and sophisticated audience, but also a kind and appreciative one.

It has been an honor.

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

The winter chill that kept shoppers at home and slowed down business activity in the first three months of 2015 was the excuse Wall Street has used to look past the economic slowdown. But with incoming data also coming in on the light side, growth bulls now have some explaining to do.

Friday was yet another day of economic reports coming in weak, a trend that runs counter to the bulls’ thesis that a rebound would kick in once temperatures started to rise. The latest clunkers were April industrial production, which contracted 0.3% month over month for the fifth straight month. Adding to the alarm was a sharp, unexpected drop in May consumer confi-

SAN FRANCISCO Some Starbucks customers have had money siphoned out of their Starbucks mobile app by thieves using a clever new attack, but Starbucks itself hasn’t been hacked, the company said Friday.

The attack, which appeared this week, takes advantage of three things: consumers who use the same ID and password across multiple accounts, the Starbucks’ app auto-load function, and the fact that Starbucks doesn’t appear

to have a limit on the number of password attempts before it locks a customer out.

Any threat to its app could add up to big numbers. In 2014, Starbucks processed $2 billion in mobile payment transactions. About 18% of its transactions are done on the company’s app, Starbucks says.

The hack works like this: First, the thieves buy stolen passwords and IDs on the underground market. They then use an automated program to try the stolen combinations one after another on the Starbucks mobile app until one works, according to application

Stock, rated ‘outperform,’ has room to run Q: Is King Digital down for the count?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: King Digital is best known for its Candy Crush game. But for investors, King appears busy finding new ways to crush their portfolio.

Shares of the maker of games for smartphones are down 7% over the past year. The stock is trading for less than what initial investors bought it at — $22.50 apiece — in the company’s initial public offering early last year.

The problem lies in the nature of the business King is in. It’s a hits-driven business, where the big profits come from the rare games that stand apart from the clutter in the various app stores.

When the popularity of a game inevitably fades, that can put enormous pressure on a company to make up for the lost growth. That’s what King is dealing with. The company’s profit this year is expected to fall 18% to $1.88 a share and another 4% in 2016, according to the median estimate calculated by S&P Capital IQ. But here’s the interesting part — for investors.

All this challenging news is priced into the stock. In video-game speak, the highscore is low, making it easier to beat.

With shares trading at just eight times trailing earnings, the stock isn’t particularly expensive when the market trades for 20 times. Analysts rate the stock “outperform” and see 25% upside.

The thieves can also increase the auto-reload amount. The silver lining is that when a change is made, Starbucks sends an email or text note to the customer which can alert them to the attack.

The Starbucks app attack is different than the type of wide hacks other major retailers have suffered. In cases such as with Target and Home Depot, attackers breached the retailers’ networks and stole consumer information.

That information is collected, packaged and sold on under-

ground online markets to the kinds of people who monetize it by pulling money out of a Starbucks app.

Consumers whose Starbucks app accounts have been breached won’t be charged, Starbucks said in an email to USA TODAY. Similar attacks have been reported on other apps, including Uber, said Ken Westin, a security analyst with Tripwire.

“Hopefully this incident will push applications to re-evaluate their payment systems security and add two-factor authentication and stronger security measures,” Westin said.

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

B.B. King gave us the joy of the blues Guitar master took us on a journey that’s ‘a tonic for whatever ails you’ Jerry Shriver and Steve Jones USA TODAY

B.B. King spread joy to millions by giving them the blues.

The iconic musician, with his ever-present guitar, Lucille, spent nearly 70 years thrilling audiences and spreading the music he learned as a poverty-stricken youth in the Mississippi Delta.

King, 89, died in Las Vegas, his attorney said late Thursday, according to the Associated Press.

“Blues is a tonic for whatever ails you,” King told USA TODAY in 2005. “I could play the blues and then not be blue anymore.”

The same could be said of those who heard him play. No matter how stormy the tale he’d weave, by the time he was through, the clouds had parted.

“I fell in love with B.B.’s voice before I ever picked up a guitar,” said Warren Haynes, guitarist for Gov’t Mule, and one of the hundreds of blues and rock musicians inspired by King’s fluid, vibrato-laden playing style and consummate showmanship. “His voice and his guitar were the same thing. That inspired me to try and achieve that balance myself.”

“B.B. King was one of the few classic blues artists to have songs

on mainstream radio,” noted Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry. “I was able to hear his guitar playing on The Thrill is Gone; it showed that given the right song you could sneak some great guitar sounds into top 40 radio.”

Almost as well-known as King’s artistry and recordings was his prolific schedule. Jon Brewer’s 2014 documentary B.B. King: The Life of Riley, which featured appearances by Carlos Santana, Bono, Eric Clapton and Ringo Starr, detailed King’s nonstop touring, which at the time of his death topped 15,000 shows.

King received nearly every accolade in his field: 15 Grammys (not counting a Lifetime Achievement nod in 1987); inductions into the Rock and Roll and Blues Foundation halls of fame; a Kennedy Center Honor; Presidential Medal of the Arts and Medal of Freedom; the international Polar Music Prize; and honorary doctorates from Yale and Brown.

One of his most deeply affecting honors came in 2005 when the Mississippi state Legislature honored him with B.B. King Day. “In my early years, I was afraid to even go across the grounds of the state Capitol (in Jackson),” King said. “Being there did more for me than anything else, anywhere else.

2011, Rolling Stone magazine listed him at No. 6 on its list of 100 greatest guitarists, behind Jimi Hendrix, Clapton, Jimmy Page, Keith Richards and Jeff Beck.

Most important, his music reached a vast audience. King “has done more, by far, for putting the blues into the mainstream of American music than anyone ever has,” said former Roomful of Blues guitarist Duke Robillard. “He was a warm and gracious man whose encouragement has meant more than anything to me. A beautiful person.”

King himself was influenced by bluesmen T-Bone Walker, Lonnie Johnson and Blind Lemon Jefferson, and jazz guitarists Django Reinhardt and Charlie Christian.

His constant companion, Lucille, is almost as famous as he is.

There were more than a dozen Lucilles. The original was named when he rescued the $30 instrument from a juke-joint fire, which started when two men fighting over a woman named Lucille knocked over a kerosene lamp. The name was a reminder to never again run into a burning building, but King also liked the idea of seeing his guitar as a lady.

King’s music was a unique blend of traditional blues, jazz, pop and swing. And although he was skilled on the guitar, he never learned to play and sing at the same time. He nearly always alternated between rustic, crying vocals and spine-tingling, bentnote playing, with facial expressions at turns ugly and beatific.

He was divorced twice, and reportedly fathered 15 kids by 15 women. “I have not been a good father, but no father has loved his children more,” he said in his 1996 autobiography.

Who can forget this band’s ’80s anthem?

Patrick Ryan

@PatRyanWrites USA TODAY

Thirty years ago next week, Simple Minds’ Jim Kerr got the call that Don’t You (Forget About Me) hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 singles chart.

Kerr was in France working on new music, and he recalls thinking, “ ‘Geez, I’ve got to celebrate.’

So I went down to the bar and ordered Champagne for everyone. I think they thought I was nuts.”

To commemorate this year’s milestone, the Scottish synth-pop band will perform the ’80s anthem on the Billboard Music Awards Sunday (ABC, 8 p.m. ET/ PT), where Taylor Swift will debut her starry Bad Blood music video, and A-list talent such as Kanye West and Van Halen also will take the stage.

The Breakfast Club star Molly Ringwald will be on hand to in-

Don’t You played on The Breakfast Club. Jim Kerr, right, says the band took a “moodier” version and “really ramped it up.” troduce Simple Minds’ performance of the track, written for John Hughes’ 1985 coming-ofage classic.“It’s going to be really cool. I’m excited to see them again,” says Ringwald, 47, who last saw the band at the film’s L.A. premiere. (She later recorded a

cover for her 2013 jazz album, Except Sometimes.)

It was also in L.A. that Don’t You fell into the band’s laps, when songwriter Keith Forsey chatted up then-keyboardist Michael MacNeil at a gig and gave him a demo of the movie’s track. But it

wasn’t until a couple of months later when Hughes started courting the group to record the song that they gave it another look.

Kerr credits Hughes for tapping “into something with American kids, not just with The Breakfast Club, but with his whole series of movies (which includes Sixteen Candles and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off). He seemed to know how to talk to them.” As for the song, they’ve played it “all over the world, and people go bananas.

They sing every word.”

Simple Minds still tour the globe and released their latest album, Big Music, last year.

For them, Don’t You was “such a catalyst for so many things, so we’ll always be grateful.”

Self says proposed changes in rules acceptable J-W Staff and Wire Reports

KANSAS SOFTBALL

Well-begun

The NCAA made a series of changes to men’s college basketball two seasons ago in an attempt to boost scoring and reduce physical play under the basket.

Those changes barely moved the needle, so now the NCAA is taking more drastic steps.

The NCAA Men’s Basketball Rules Committee recommended reducing the shot clock from 35 to 30 seconds on Friday, the biggest step in a series of changes aimed at speeding up a game that has reached historic Self lows in scoring two of the past three seasons.

The new shot clock will be in place the next two seasons, the first time it has been reduced since dropping from 45 to 35 seconds in 1993-94. The newly shortened clock would be reevaluated after that.

The changes still must be approved by the NCAA’s Playing Rules Oversight Committee, which meets Justin L. Stewart/Special to the Journal-World next month.

EAST AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The Royals were a couple of weeks into spring training and veteran right-hander Chris Young was still on the market when general manager Dayton Moore approached manager Ned Yost one day and asked whether they should try signing him.

Yost spent a few seconds recalling the way Young shut down the Royals last season, when he was with Seattle, and replied: “Heck yeah. Let’s go get him.”

Signed to provide bullpen support, Young made another strong case to have a permanent spot in the rotation Friday night. He held down the Yankees into the sixth inning, and backed by plenty of offense from Lorenzo Cain and Kendrys Morales, helped Kansas City to a 12-1 victory.

“I just tried to hold the game close and the guys came through,” Young said.

Cain had a career-high five RBIs, Morales drove in three more runs and just about everyone in the Kansas City lineup took their shots against Yankees starter Michael Pineda. The result was a dominant win to open a three-game set between division leaders.

Young (3-0) allowed just four hits and two walks over 5 2-3 innings in his third solid spot start. The 6-foot-10 vet-

“We just take it day by day,” Yost said, when asked about his rotation going forward. “If we run into an issue in a certain area, AFCwe definitely have him available.”

Pineda (5-1), coming off a masterful 16-strikeout performance against Baltimore, only struck out one while matching a career worst with 10 hits allowed. Pineda was responsible for five runs in 5 1-3 innings, matching a season high set in a win over the Orioles last month.

“I felt great before the game,” he said. “I go out there and do my best to win the game. Sometimes it happens. I’m keeping my head up, continue working and be ready for next time.”

Pineda hung tough through the first five innings, the only damage an RBI single by Cain in the first inning and a sacrifice fly by the Royals outfielder in the fourth.

Everything unraveled for the AL East-leading Yankees in the fifth, though. The Royals sent 11 batters to the plate, pounded out six hits and churned through Pineda and two relievers.

Hawks bounce Wizards from playoffs The Associated Press

Hawks 94, Wizards 91 Washington — Avoiding overtime in Game 6 when Paul Pierce’s potential tying 3-pointer was released after the clock expired, the Atlanta Hawks made it to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time by beating the Washington Wizards 94-91 on Friday night.

The Hawks held on thanks primarily to DeMarre Carroll’s playoff career-high 25 points, including two layups in the last minute off assists from Jeff Teague.

After Al Horford went 1 of 2 from the free-throw line for a three-point lead, the Wizards inbounded the ball with 6.4 seconds left. They got the ball to Pierce, who won Game 3 on a banked-in buzzer-beater, then put Washington briefly ahead late in Game 5 with a 3.

This time, his 3 from the corner swished through, but after a couple of anxious minutes for both teams, a replay review determined it was too late.

Once trailing 2-1 in the bestof-seven series against the Wizards, the Hawks won three straight games. They improved road teams to 6-0 this postseason in Game 6s.

host LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 of the conference finals on Wednesday night.

It’s the Hawks’ first trip to a conference final since the NBA realigned into conferences in 1970-71. The team had not won two playoff series in a single year since moving to Atlanta for the 1968-69 season.

Teague and Paul Millsap both added 20 points for Atlanta, which won 60 games during the regular season but was about a .500 team for part of the postseason.

Playing with a broken left hand that forced him out of Games 2, 3 and 4, John Wall attacked the rim as if completely healthy and finished with 20 points, 13 assists and six rebounds.

Wall began the game with a beige bandage on his left wrist and black padding on the top of that hand. But in the second half, the black padding was gone.

Bradley Beal scored 29 points, including a baseline jumper to cap a 9-0 stretch and give Washington an 88-87 lead with a little more than 31⁄2 minutes left.

Atlanta kept turning the ball over and failed to make a field goal for more than 5 minutes, a drought that finally ended when Millsap made a 16-footer to go up 89-88.

Both teams struggled to score from there.

But even Pierce couldn’t stop Atlanta from advancing to face Cleveland.

C — One of the fireworks smokestacks at Great American Ball Park caught fire and spewed dark smoke for an inning on Friday night until firefighters extinguished it during a game between the San Francisco Giants and the Cincinnati Reds.

The game continued uninterrupted. Fans in two sections by the smokestacks were evacuated while firefighters extended a ladder from outside the ballpark and sprayed the fire.

Two riverboat smokestacks shoot celebratory flames and fireworks during games. They inadvertently shot flames, then some fireworks, with the Giants at bat in the top of the sixth inning.

A flame continued to flicker from the top of one of the smokestacks, giving off a dark smoke that drifted across the outfield as the game continued.

WNBA suspends Griner, Johnson Three weeks after they were arrested on suspicion of assault and disorderly conduct, Brittney Griner and Glory Johnson were each suspended seven games by the WNBA on Friday.

WNBA president Laurel J. Richie announced the suspensions in a statement posted to the league’s website, saying, “Brittney and Glory’s conduct is detrimental to the best interests of the WNBA and violates applicable law.” Richie said the couple, who were married on May 8, also will be required to attend individual counseling as part of their suspension terms.

SUNFLOWER LEAGUE TRACK

Relay runners give Lions lift

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Lawrence High’s top girls relay runners — Jensen Edwards, Leah Gabler, Marissa Pope, Kyleigh Severa and Myah Yoder — broke school records in two events last year. They weren’t going to pass up a chance for a third at the Sunflower League Championships on Friday at LHS. After being approached by their coaches earlier in the week, the ultra-competitive group decided to give up their individual events to run in the sprint medley relay, which was in the middle of the meet.

Edwards, Gabler, Severa and Yoder added their names to another spot in the school record books, winning the sprint medley relay by more than nine seconds in 4:16.22.

It helped the Lions finish fifth in the league.

“That was exciting,” Gabler said. “I really didn’t realize how well of a chance we had until a couple of days ago. I was nervous because my 800 has the most, like, control over what time we get. I was really trying to push myself so we could get that.”

The group, switching in Pope for Yoder, also won in the 4x400 relay in a season-best time of 3:59.23. It was their first race under four minutes this season.

“We’re not satisfied,” Pope said. “We’re going for a 3:53 at state so in order for that to happen we have to drop time fast.

We just have more work to do and we’ll do it this week and the next week.”

Pope also helped the Lions shave 30 seconds off their best time in the 4x800 relay, running in the event for the first time in her high school career.

“This is one of those groups of kids that as coaches,” LHS coach Jack Hood said, “we need stop

round of last year’s regional in Columbia.

KU scored the lone run of Friday’s game in the bottom of the third.

Chaley Brickey led off the third with a single up the middle. She moved to second base on a groundout and scored on Daniella Chavez’s single that ricocheted off Louisville second baseman Brittany Sims’ leg and into shallow left field.

He started both with 92 mph fastballs that they could not catch up to and followed the gas with 79 mph precision breaking balls that buckled their knees. That left both hitters off balance for the third pitch and neither put a bat on it. Those two strikeouts came after KU had loaded the bases with no outs and threatened to climb back into the game despite being down 9-0.

“Their guy pitched better than us tonight,” KU coach Ritch Price said.

“And he was better than our team.”

Asked why he thought his team, which entered the night ranked fifth in the Big 12 in offense, struggled so much against Griep, Price pointed to the Wildcat’s ability to effectively change speeds.

“When you’re as firm as he is, that’s a hard ad-

“They’re special kids.

They’re wired to win.”

For the past two years, LHS senior Rebecca Finley has finished runnerup at the league meet to her twin sister, Matia, in the discus. On Friday, Rebecca Finley finally got some revenge, winning a league title with the best toss of her career, 153 feet, 0 inches.

Rebecca Finley followed it up by taking second place in the shot put with her season-best throw of 41 feet, 0 inches.

Matia Finley was runnerup in the discus (141-3) and fifth in the shot put.

“I guess I was just more focused,” Rebecca Finley said. “In practice, I was more technically correct, I guess. That helps … especially in shot, something just clicked in my head..”

Free State High senior Tye Carter decided to hang up the baseball cleats this spring, turning to the javelin.

A former pitcher and quarterback, he always had some confidence in his arm. But even he

couldn’t predict his quick progress in his new sport.

Carter won a Sunflower League championship on Friday, helping the FSHS boys track team finish third.

Carter set a school record in the event at the beginning of the month.

Though he fell just shy of that mark on Friday, winning with a throw of 183 feet, 9 inches, he was just as happy with the win.

“It’s my first year so I wasn’t really expecting anything,” Carter said.

“To get this far is pretty nice.”

Carter, who was throwing with sore ribs Friday, has heard from a number of colleges including Kansas University about possibly throwing javelin in college. He wishes he joined the sport a little earlier in his high school career, but is just happy with the results — even if his throws are a little unorthodox.

“I basically just hopped in and (throwing coach Darrell Andrew) taught me a few things, but I basically just do a baseball crow hop,” Carter said.

Free State runners Ryan Liston (1600), Ethan Donley (800) and

The Jayhawks twice squandered bases-loaded opportunities. Louisville pitcher Maryssa Becker used a 1-2-3 double play to end the second, and she retired three straight batters to wriggle out of a basesloaded, no-out situation in the sixth. Included in Becker’s sixth-inning escape was shortstop Whitney Arion’s diving stab of Brickey’s line drive that seemed destined to score at least one run.

McGinley and Briana Evans each went 2 for 3, as KU tallied seven hits.

Pille (24-6) struck out four, walked one and hit one batter. Kristina Dillard’s third-inning infield single was Louisville’s only hit. Dillard blooped a ball over the head of first baseman Maddie Stein and beyond the reach of second baseman Taylor McElhaney.

The last time Pille pitched in Columbia, she suffered the loss in KU’s season-ending 2-1 regional defeat to Nebraska a year ago. She’s shouldered more of the pitching load this year, tossing a career-high 195 1/3 innings, following the

Cubs take a winning trip The Associated Press

National League Cubs 11, Pirates 10, 12 innings Chicago — Right fielder Gregory Polanco tripped and fell while trying to catch an easy fly and the ball dropped for an RBI single in the 12th inning that sent Chicago to a startling win over Pittsburgh.

The Cubs won their fifth straight game, matching their longest string since last June.

Chicago loaded the bases with one out in the 12th against Radhames Liz (0-1) and Matt Szczur lifted a routine fly to shallow right field, not likely to score the winning run.

Polanco came running in with plenty of time to make the catch, then slipped and stumbled to the ground. He reached up with his bare left hand trying to make a play, but had no chance and never touched the ball as Starlin Castro ran home.

Braves 5, Marlins 3 Miami — Todd Cunningham had three hits in his first big league start, including a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning, and the Atlanta Braves overcame two solo home runs by Giancarlo Stanton to beat Miami.

Major league batting leader Dee Gordon went 3 for 5 for Miami, hiking his average to .433. It was his 11th game with three or more hits.

Stanton’s second homer was a tape-measure shot that tied it in the seventh. He has 10 homers and a major league-high 35 RBIs. The score was 3-all when Nick Markakis doubled in the eighth off Mike Dunn (0-2), and he scored on Cunningham’s single against Bryan Morris.

Jason Kipnis singled four times and Michael Brantley reached base in all five trips, with two doubles among his three hits. They combined to score five runs.

Ryan Webb (1-0) and four other Cleveland relievers combined for 6 2-3 shutout innings.

Swisher had a tiebreaking two-run single in the fifth off Wandy Rodriguez (1-2). He was playing his ninth game after missing a month recovering from knee surgery last August.

Beltre became the 52nd player with 400 homers by following Prince Fielder’s fifth of the season with his fifth as well in the first inning.

YASMIN

TANGERINE We all know that fruit is good for us, but sometimes it can be hard to decide which one is best. We have a preference here at the shelter for the little orange colored cat named Tangerine. We think she is the sweetest 1 year old girl and will be better for your heart than any apple or pear. Do something nice for yourself and get on the health kick with this love bug.

TOBY When Toby first got here, he wasn’t sure about anything at all.

Slowly he is building his confidence and is learning that life doesn’t have to be scary. He is a sweet and handsome yellow Labrador Retriever mix. He is 2 years old and needs to find a home where he will be able to adapt and learn to be the awesome dog he was meant to be. Come see if that’s something you can help him with.

GRACIE ROSE When you’re an 11 year old cat and you’re looking for a new home, the Lawrence Humane Society is the place to go. Gracie Rose heard this and decided to come hang out with us.

She is a beautiful cream gray tortoiseshell and is looking for a quiet home where she can relax. She would love to have you spoil her with lots of affection, soft beds and sunny windows. Come meet her today.

GARY Sometimes animals come in and we wish we had a history for them. Gary is one of those cats. He had some medical problems that were pretty easy to solve. He is still healing and gaining some weight, but he is one of the sweetest fellows in the shelter. He is a 3 year old Domestic Short Hair with a black and white coat. He is easy going and has made many friends in Catopia.

JUNO What better way to start your day than with some wet puppy kisses. Juno is a 9 month old American Pit Bull Terrier mix and is a pro at being sweet and adorable. Her enthusiasm for life is infectious. You can’t help but smile when you see her wiggle and play. All that fun also calls for some snuggles and this little black pup is up for that too. You can never have enough fun and love.

LILLY Lilly is somewhat camera shy, so it was difficult to get her to look at the camera long enough to get both eyes in the picture. She is an independent 3 year old Shih Tzu and has a tan coat. She will need periodic grooming, keep that in mind. They are great little house dogs and love to follow you around. They are good as companion dogs, but are also wonderful family dogs.

ROCKY What better way to start your day than with some wet puppy kisses. Juno is a 9 month old American Pit Bull Terrier mix and is a pro at being sweet and adorable. Her enthusiasm for life is infectious. You can’t help but smile when you see her wiggle and play. All that fun also calls for some snuggles and this little black pup is up for that too. You can never have enough fun and love.

ADOPT-A-PET Sometimes being little in this big world can be overwhelming.

Yasmin has first hand knowledge. She is a shy little Chihuahua mix with a white and tan coat and being in the shelter with all of the big dogs, and the noise, can give a girl pause. She would like to be in a nice quiet home where her little heart can relax and be the love of your life. She’s 8 years old and is ready to settle in.

GREGORY Gregory is a goofy, happy go lucky puppy in a 3 year old big dog body. Of course the fact that he’s a Labrador Retriever mix has nothing to do with his lovable personality.

He is a reddish color and is a great size at 55 lbs.

One of his favorite things is making new friends, so bring the family out to meet him. With some training and guidance, he will be a loyal addition to any family.

MARS If earth is the third planet from the sun, where is Mars? Mars is here at the Lawrence Humane Society and is ready and waiting to add you to his orbit. He is a 2 year old Domestic Short Hair with a gray and white (not red) coat. If astronomy is your thing, then Mars is the cat to meet. Bring a carrier and a collar to take this sweet boy home, or you can purchase them here.

ZAZU Zazu! I love the way that sounds and the dog behind the name is pretty awesome too. He is a 7 year old Pit Bull Terrier mix and is gorgeous. He has a red coat and he weighs in at about 82 lbs. He came to Lawrence because we are more open minded about his breed. Other dogs and children are among his favorite friends to hang out with. Cats, not so much. See you soon.

BLUEBEARD Once upon a time, in the fair land of France, there was a very powerful lord and his name was Bluebeard. Wait. This isn’t France. Then how did Bluebeard come to be at the shelter? He came in as a stray, so your guess is as good as mine. Being a Lhasa Apso mix, he isn’t as big as he thinks, but as they say, attitude is everything and he has lots of that. Oh, and his beard is white.

WINSTON Gentle, stoic and smart are all excellent words to describe this good looking boy. His name is Winston and he is a German Shepherd mix with a fondness for cheese. His coat is a soft black with brown and he weighs about 78 lbs. He is quick to learn and willing to listen. If you are interested and have another dog, bring the dog and the rest of the family out to meet him.
