Sharp divide remains on tax reversal possibility

Graduating to greatness

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — As Kansas lawmakers continue to look for ways to dig the state out of a projected $406 million budget hole for next year, Republicans remain sharply divided over the question of reversing course on the sweeping income tax cuts enacted in 2012, which many say are the cause of the state’s current budget woes.

Both the House and Senate LEGISLATURE tax committees worked on bills Tuesday that would peel back at least part of the tax cuts that exempted more than 330,000 business owners from paying any taxes on their business income.

But conservative Republicans are putting

Topeka — The Kansas Senate has approved a compromise on regulations that ride-hailing company Uber says will allow it to stay in the state.

The Senate passed the legislation 37-0 on Tuesday after the House approved it 119-3 earlier in the day.

Uber announced in early May that it had ceased operations in Kansas after the Legislature overrode the governor’s veto on regulations the company opposed.

Under the new measure, Uber and other ride-hailing companies could do private background checks on their subcontracted drivers under the bill. But they could face lawsuits from the attorney general if drivers were found to be operating with a criminal background.

The compromise will now go to the governor.

Republican Sen. Jeff Longbine says he believes the governor will sign it.

NEW PET OWNER TRAVIS JACOBSEN HOLDS QUARTER, the first of Penny’s puppies to be adopted Tuesday at the Lawrence Humane Society. Travis and his wife, Ellen, adopted the dog on the first day the puppies were available.

As the adoption floor opened the morning that Penny’s puppies became available at the Lawrence Humane Society, the only frenzy to be had was with the puppies themselves as they scrambled for dog treats.

The puppies’ adoption debut Tuesday was highly anticipated after Penny gained fame on Lawrence social media when she ran away, pregnant, from her foster home in midwinter.

Travis and Ellen Jacobsen,

Animals are offspring of runaway Penny, who gained fame recently on social media of Lawrence, arrived an hour early to get first pick, but they ended up being the only potential adopters waiting specifically for Penny’s puppies. The puppies’ adoption fees are $500 each.

The calm atmosphere was the best outcome for the puppies, Lawrence Humane Society Executive Director Kate Meghji said. The higher than usual adoption fee was meant in part

to make potential adopters stop and think, Meghji said, so that the adoption wouldn’t just be an impulse buy because of the puppies’ notoriety.

“We want them to go to good homes that are fully committed to them,” she said.

Meghji said the shelter has been doing variable pricing based on desirability — with Please see PUPPIES, page 4A

A nationwide search will begin in the coming weeks to find a replacement for departing City Manager David Corliss, and longtime City Commissioner Mike Amyx will lead the search committee.

“This will be one of the top five most influential people in this community.”

Corliss is leaving at the end of this month to take the town manager position in Castle Rock, Colo.

Assistant City Manager Diane Stoddard has been chosen to serve as interim city manager, but Tuesday’s discussion was the most detailed yet about how the commission intends to fill the position on a permanent basis.

Commissioners did not set a timeline for the search process to be completed. Commissioners hope to make a decision in the next three weeks or so on a consulting firm that can assist with the search. City Commissioner Stuart Boley also said he wanted to have conversations with officials at the highly regarded School of Public Administration at Kansas University to get their assistance with the search.

“I’m very interested in hearing what they have to say,” Boley said.

Mayor Jeremy Farmer said he believes it is important for the city to have a broad-based search committee. While no appointments were

factors such as size, age and breed being considered — since around 2012. Puppies usually cost from $200 to $800 while adult dogs range from no fee (because of a waiver) to $100, Meghji said.

“If we would have charged $200, we would have had a lot more people, and it would have been a mess,” Meghji said.

The $500 adoption fee will help recoup part of the cost of caring for the puppies, which Meghji estimated to be approximately $5,000 since they were born two months ago. After the costs of staffing, supplies and the building’s utilities, care

made — other than Amyx and Soden — Farmer recommended that members of the school district, the county, KU, Haskell and multiple members of the city staff be a part of the committee.

“And I’m not just talking about staff members from the fourth floor of City Hall,” Farmer said, saying he wanted a good mix of white-collar and blue-collar positions from throughout the city organization.

The search committee is expected to make recommendations on finalists for the city manager position, but ultimately the City Commission will make the final decision on the hire.

Commissioners on Tuesday briefly discussed what they were looking for in a new city manager. Experience in strategic planning will be important, and also an ability to offer needed advice on complicated matters, several commissioners said.

“I’m looking for someone who is going to challenge us, and someone who makes sure we understand the pitfalls of going down a particular path,” Amyx said.

In other business, commissioners: l Heard a presentation from members of the faith-based group Justice Matters on the need for an affordable housing trust fund. More than a 100 members of the or-

ganization showed up at City Hall to show their support for a fund that would help eliminate waiting lists for transitional, temporary housing in the community.

Commissioners said they were very interested in creating a housing trust fund, but stopped short of making any funding commitments for a new fund.

Instead, commissioners agreed that the next step would be to attend a local conference in mid-July that will bring in multiple experts on affordable housing trust funds that have been created in other communities. l On a 4-1 vote, commissioners approved a rezoning that opens the door for a bar/bistro to be located at 804 Pennsylvania St. in the Warehouse Arts District. The rezoning will allow the owners of the property to apply for a special use permit that would allow a bar/bistro use to open on the site. Several neighbors had opposed the request. They want any future establishment to be required to make at least 55 percent of its sales in food rather than liquor.

for each animal at the shelter averages about $20 per day, Meghji said.

Meghji “Five hundred dollars is not us making a profit; it’s us losing slightly less,” Meghji said.

“Adoption fees are really just a drop in the bucket.”

By the end of the day on Tuesday, two of Penny’s four puppies had been adopted.

“We are really invested in Penny, and it’s really joyous to see them going to these wonderful new homes,” Meghji said.

Penny, a yellow lab mix, was rescued by the state from a “sad situation,” according to the

shelter’s website. She captured the attention of Lawrencians in February when she escaped from the foster home where she had been placed. Penny’s photo was shared hundreds of times on various social media outlets, and more than 1,000 people “liked” the “Help Find Penny” Facebook page. Volunteers found Penny near downtown Lawrence after four days of searching.

Two weeks ago, Penny, who has been spayed, escaped another foster home, that time avoiding capture for about two days.

Like other animals at the shelter, Penny’s four puppies have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated and given microchips, Meghji said. The puppies, named Nickel,

Trial

Gov. signs bill clarifying legality of fantasy sports T opeka — Republican Gov. Sam Brownback has signed a bill clarifying the legality of fantasy leagues.

Brownback’s office announced he signed the bill into law Tuesday, along with seven other measures.

The legality of fantasy sports leagues has been in dispute because the Kansas ConBrownback stitution allows only the state to administer games fitting a broad definition of a lottery.

The state’s gambling regulator announced in August that it viewed fantasy sports as illegal lotteries, though there have been no known prosecutions.

Attorney General Derek Schmidt released an opinion in April saying legislators could legalize fantasy sports leagues by declaring that the outcomes depend upon the knowledge and skill of the players.s The bill passed with large majorities in each chamber.

Dime, Quarter and Bill (the sole male), were available for same-day adoption. Dime was adopted Tuesday by Kaitlyn Suther and Tim Dellwig, of Lawrence, who said they weren’t familiar with Penny’s story.

The Jacobsens, who picked Quarter, said they had already been looking for a dog when Penny’s story made the news.

“I’m excited for the fact that we’ll have a puppy together, and I do love Labs,” Ellen Jacobsen said.

As far as the adoption fee, which Travis Jacobsen said was comparable to prices they saw with breeders, they thought it was worth the chance to be a part of Penny’s happy ending.

Police participating in ‘Click it. Or ticket’ campaign

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @conrad_swanson

Through the rest of May, police will be on the lookout for seat belt violations as a part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s annual “Click it. Or ticket” campaign, police said.

The campaign began Monday and runs through May 31, said Capt. James Anguiano of Kansas University Public Safety.

For the duration of the campaign, each shift will have several additional officers paying special attention to drivers on the road, Anguiano. The additional wages are paid through a federal grant from the NHTSA. “We’re looking for seatbelt violations or any

CORRECTIONS The “On the Street” question of the day in Tuesday’s Journal-World misspelled the name of Kirk McClure.

CLARIFICATION A story published Monday about Kansas renewable energy standards incorrectly paraphrased remarks by wind industry lobbyist Kimberly Svaty. She said an excise tax on wind energy production would be an onerous financial burden on existing wind energy producers and could halt further development in the future, but it would not necessarily put existing producers out of business.

violations individuals might have,” said Anguiano. “And we’re looking to raise awareness on seat belt safety and driving safety in general.”

Nearly 150 law enforcement agencies across the state are participating in the campaign, said Gary Herman of the Kansas Department of Transportation. May was chosen for the event, largely because of the large crowds of people traveling for the upcoming holiday weekend.

“Generally the campaign is over Memorial Day weekend and that travel period because that is a very high fatality rate weekend. It’s one of the highest in the nation,” he said.

The Lawrence Police

Department and Douglas County Sheriff’s Office are also participating in the campaign.

Police will be issuing tickets for violations, Anguiano said. Seat belt violation tickets from KU’s Public Safety come with a $10 fine.

Herman said the campaign strives for a healthy combination of both education and enforcement.

“What we’re looking for is voluntary compliance.

Police don’t relish in writing tickets,” he said.

Anguiano said he is not yet sure how many seat belt violation tickets have been issued this early into the campaign.

the session this week. It’s a bill that would cut off all legislative pay after Friday, which will be the 96th day of the session.

The Senate tax bill includes a provision to reimpose income taxes on business owners, but would offer them a tax credit based on a percentage of their payroll for employees. That would raise about $82 million next year. It also includes many of the provisions in the House bill regarding sales, motor fuel and cigarette taxes, along with changes in the way motor vehicles are taxed.

Sen. Less Donovan, RWichita, who chairs the panel, said that would be a more direct incentive for small businesses to hire more workers, something that the exemption on business income was supposed to do.

But conservatives on that committee resisted as well. The bill narrowly passed out of committee, 6-4, without a recommendation.

Democrats on both committees are also opposing the bills.

Rep. Tom Sawyer, the ranking Democrat on the House panel, said many in his party will not con- l More obituaries appear on page 2A. sider raising any other tax until the exemption on business owners’ income is removed.

up fierce resistance to any such attempt, and it remains to be seen whether they still have the power to defeat such a measure on the floors of the full House and Senate.

“Clearly, this is not a tax plan that has failed,” said Rep. Kasha Kelley, R-Arkansas City, who serves on the House tax committee. “This is a tax plan that is taking some time to take root, as all new things do, and to send a signal that it doesn’t work to the rest of the nation, I think, is detrimental.”

The House committee worked on a package Tuesday that includes a provision to reimpose taxes on what is called “guaranteed payments” for certain business entities.

That’s money paid to partners in certain businesses, either for the use of capital or for services rendered as a partner, independently of whether the business turns a profit.

Under federal tax law, guaranteed payments are not considered wage income, and therefore under the cuts enacted in 2012 are exempt from state income taxes.

That’s expected to raise about $23 million next year. Kelley offered a motion to remove it from the House tax bill, but her motion failed on an unrecorded voice vote.

The panel did, however, remove another part of the proposal that would have frozen other

income tax rates at their current level, thus ending Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s hopes of phasing out income taxes altogether, a plan sometimes referred to as the “march to zero.”

“Philosophically, I’m against going back on what we did (in 2012),” said Rep. Marc Rhoades, R-Newton, who offered the amendment to remove that provision.

Rhoades also dismissed questions that he said some Republicans have begun raising about the fairness of exempting so many business owners from income taxes while the state is facing such a large financial hole.

“We would not be having this discussion in our party (about) the fairness issue, in my opinion,” Rhaodes said. Maybe a few (would). But if there wasn’t a hole, we wouldn’t be having this discussion.”

The House panel plans to finish debating its package Wednesday.

Currently, it also includes increases in taxes on retail sales, motor fuel and cigarettes, as well as adjustments to certain itemized tax deductions.

Senate tax plan Meanwhile, the Senate tax committee advanced a bill Tuesday that would raise an estimated $496 million in new revenue next year, enough to fill the budget hole and leave the state with a positive ending balance at the end of the year.

Budget blackmail?

Tying policy changes to funding for the Kansas court system fundamentally alters the balance of power among the state’s three branches of government.

B

lackmail is a strong word, a word that Kansans certainly wouldn’t want to have attached to actions of their elected state representatives.

And yet, that word comes dangerously close to describing the approach some members of the Kansas Legislature are taking toward the bill that funds the state’s judicial branch.

Last year, legislation that tied funding for state courts to several policy changes was passed by the Legislature and signed by Gov. Brownback. Among those changes were provisions that removed the Kansas Supreme Court’s authority to name chief judges and oversee budget allocations in the state’s district courts.

Proponents called the shift a matter of local control, but opponents, including some state judges, saw it as a possible violation of the Kansas Constitution which says, “The supreme court shall have general administrative authority over all the courts in this state.”

In response, a lawsuit arguing that the the law was unconstitutional was filed in February by Larry Solomon, chief judge for the state’s 30th Judicial District. That lawsuit currently is pending in Shawnee County District Court.

Undeterred by the legal action, state legislators have decided again this year to tie the new system for selecting chief judges into the same bill that contains funding for the judicial branch. If the Shawnee County District Court finds the selection process to be unconstitutional, the entire law — including the funding to keep the courts operating — would be thrown out.

So the district court can either agree with the Legislature and the governor on the selection process or it can take action that throws out that process — along with state funding for its own court and the rest of the judicial branch.

Sen. Jeff King, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, doesn’t see this as a problem. It’s legitimate to tie the policy decision to the budget, he argues, because if the policy is changed, legislators also will need to review the budget. Why? Changing the policy shouldn’t have an impact on how much money the state courts need to operate.

There doesn’t seem to be any reason to change the budget, unless legislators want to consider punishing the court for making a decision they don’t agree with. King also didn’t address how budget changes would be made if the court strikes down the law when the Legislature isn’t in session.

Maybe blackmail isn’t the right word for what the Legislature is doing to the judicial branch. Maybe “power grab” would be a better term. Either way, lawmakers are trying to alter the roles, responsibilities and fundamental balance of power among the state’s three branches of government. Their action also feeds the perception that they are trying to punish state courts for school finance decisions that have forced the state to increase spending for K-12 schools — decisions based on the constitutional requirement that the Legislature “shall make suitable provision for finance of the educational interests of the state.”

If legislators and the governor think the Kansas Constitution is wrong, they should tackle that issue head-on and seek to change it — not use budget blackmail to try to force the state’s independent judiciary to change its mind.

Ramadi a setback for Iraq strategy Washington — The capture of Ramadi last weekend

by Islamic State fighters is a significant setback for U.S. strategy in Iraq and shows that, nearly a year after the extremists overran Mosul, the U.S. still doesn’t have a viable plan for protecting the country’s Sunni areas.

The collapse of the Iraqi army in Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province, was in some ways a replay of the Mosul debacle in June 2014.

The Shiite-dominated Iraqi military, though trained and retrained by the U.S., appeared to lack the leadership or will to fight off a

relatively small but ferocious onslaught of Sunni insurgents.

The Ramadi defeat exposed the sectarian tensions that underlie this war.

Among the urgent questions: Are Shiite regular army troops ready to fight and die to protect Sunnis, or will their lines collapse in Sunni areas, as happened in Mosul and now Ramadi? If the tougher Iranian-backed Shiite militias are sent instead to do the job, will the Sunni population see them as a Shiite occupation army — setting the stage for a generation of sectarian revenge killing?

Centcom offered bland reassurances in the hours before the lines buckled in Ramadi. Via teleconference from the Middle East, Marine Brig. Gen. Thomas D. Weidley told reporters Friday that the U.S.-led coalition’s strategy was on track.

Ramadi was “contested,” he said, but the Islamic State was “on the defensive” throughout Iraq and Syria, and resistance was mostly “small-scale, localized, harassing attacks.” He said the U.S.-led coalition had conducted 165 airstrikes in the past month to support the Iraqis and that coalition planners were “working closely with the Iraqi security forces to control critical infrastructure.”

The Centcom briefing proved grossly overoptimistic. According to field reports compiled by a consulting firm, the extremists began Friday with a car bomb attack in Albu Diab, north of the city, that was a “likely diversion tactic.” As Iraqi troops rushed north, the insurgents sent a wave of at least four car bombs into the city center. They did their work. The government defense lines broke.

U.S. air support for the Iraqis was hindered by a sandstorm that disabled some helicopters and drones during the early hours of the fight. A relatively small insurgent force of 200 to 400 fighters slipped through coalition lines and, behind its car-bomb phalanx, assaulted the city center in a sophisticated combined-arms

campaign. When the battle reached the close combat “furball phase,” as one retired four-star veteran of Iraq described it, it was difficult for U.S. airstrikes to distinguish friend from foe.

Given that the Islamic State’s drive to capture Ramadi has been predicted for weeks, why didn’t U.S. and Iraqi planners reinforce the garrison there? Why didn’t coalition forces fight harder to control “Camp Blue Diamond,” a former U.S. military base on the northwest edge of the city? Why didn’t the coalition add troops to protect Ramadi’s provincial version of the Green Zone in the center of the city? Why were Islamic State fighters allowed to capture new stores of Iraqi weapons and liberate scores of their compatriots in Ramadi’s jails — adding new arms and men at a strike?

The Islamic State’s breakthrough in Ramadi brought wild celebration in other Sunni areas under its control. The group released a video Monday that appeared to show jubilant Iraqi men and boys in the Nineveh area spontaneously dancing and waving its black-and-white banners.

Two-year colleges have key role

By Gene A. Budig and Alan Heaps

Earlier this year, President Obama introduced a plan “to make community college as free and universal as high school.”

This proposal, which generated both support and opposition, is important for two reasons.

One, it provides a partial answer to a pressing national problem: the price of higher education. According to a 2014 Gallup poll, young Americans list the cost of college and college debt as their No. 1 financial challenge.

Two, it shines a light on a critical but under-appreciated part of our educational system: community colleges. These 1,100 institutions enroll 12.4 million students, 46 percent of the nation’s undergraduates.

And they serve a diverse Budig group including a disproportionate number of underrepresented minorities, those who cannot attend school full time for financial or family reasons, and those who need a second chance at schooling.

And the cost? Tuition at community colleges is about one third that of pub- Heaps lic four-year colleges.

We recently took the temperature of these institutions through conversations with ten community college presidents from six states. Here is what we found. l They are grateful to the president for focusing national attention on their work and three-part mission: to solve the skills gap, renew the middle class and promote educational equity. l They contend that their colleges are well positioned to meet these demands because of their ties with local business and industry, and their deep roots in the community. They also point to their considerable track record in meeting many of their goals. l They take pride in the fact that their

work has a major impact on advancing the education of traditionally underrepresented minorities, both male and female. Their efforts arise from the firm belief that a stable society is an equitable society. l They see their institutions as playing a pivotal role in the current economic turnaround and accounting, in no small measure, for the increase in good paying jobs for the middle class. Assuming continued funding, they see no diminishment of this role. l They do not believe Obama’s recent proposal for free community college has the support to become reality, particularly in this time of political gridlock. However, they do foresee financial increases from local, state and federal sources in the immediate future. l They are quick to underscore the vital importance of low-cost tuition to their work and outcomes. l They envision a significant opportunity for closer ties to their peers at four-year colleges and universities. Their combined efforts could lead to unprecedented opportunity for the nation’s traditional and nontraditional students In 2012-2013, community colleges awarded 750,000 degrees and 450,000 certificates.

These are not self-congratulatory slips of paper. They represent real skills given to real people who make real differences to our economy and our society.

Community colleges are not perfect.

They need to improve a number of outcomes including graduation rates. President Obama’s tuition proposal is not perfect. It needs further refinement including how the program will be funded.

But the idea of helping solve the nation’s education, economic and social problems through lower tuition at our two year colleges is not only smart, it is necessary. We should not be debating the basic concept.

We should be debating the best way to make it work.

— Gene A. Budig is past president of three major state universities, including Kansas University, and of Major League Baseball’s American League. Alan Heaps is a former vice president at the College Board in New York City.

of the Supporters with the Conquests of the Predators of al-Anbar,” show how success begets success in the Iraqi conflict. Another jihadist video shows newly freed prisoners kissing the ground. Celebrations of the Ramadi victory, with festive, flag-waving crowds, were posted from as far away as Tripoli, Libya.

What’s worse, the Ramadi defeat showed that the cornerstone of U.S. strategy for Iraq — a Sunni tribal force that can work with the Iraqi military to clear and hold areas seized by the Islamic State — isn’t in place yet.

The Iraqi parliament still hasn’t passed a long-promised law to create such a force, and arms shipments to Sunni fighters have been delayed or ignored by the Baghdad government.

The U.S. shouldn’t abandon its strategy: This is still Iraq’s war, not America’s.

But Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi needs a reality check: If he and his Shiite allies don’t do more to empower Sunnis, his country will splinter. Ramadi is a precursor — of either a turnaround by Abadi’s forces, or Iraqi defeat.

PUBLIC FORUM

Different view To the editor: This is in response to the Journal-World article in the May 12 issue: “City set to join coalition supporting same sex marriage.”

Jeremy Farmer said he is confident such a change is supported by a majority of Lawrence residents. Did he send out surveys asking everyone’s opinion? I didn’t get one and I think he should explain how this improves the lives of families in Lawrence.

This is a quote from John Hagee, pastor of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas: “If God doesn’t punish the United States for making same sex marriage legal, he will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.”

Audit

l Sales taxes continue to be a bigger part of the city’s budget. The city collected $34.7 million in sales taxes in 2014. That’s up from $21.3 million collected in 2005. The city collected $28.3 million in property taxes in 2014 compared with $22 million in 2005.

Kidney said that as the city becomes more reliant on sales tax dollars he believes it will be important for the city to maintain healthy fund balances, which are roughly equivalent to savings accounts that can be used to cover revenue shortfalls. l The city’s key fund balance account did not grow over the last decade. The city’s fund balance in its general fund — which is the key city fund that pays for the bulk of police, fire, streets and other basic city services — declined by about $1.7 million since 2005. The fund balance of the general fund stood at $13.6 million in 2014, down from $15.3 million in 2005. The fund balance hit a 10-year low of $11.9 million in 2006. l The report highlighted that the general fund balance is just one of several savings accounts the city has.

Other fund balances have grown significantly during the last 10 years. The fund balances in the category of “other governmental funds” has grown to $33 million, up from $13 million in 2005. Some of that growth is really just the result of new debt the city has taken on. When the city sells bonds to finance projects, it gets a large lump sum amount of money that is then paid out over several months to contractors who are completing the projects. While the money is sitting in the city’s account, it is recorded as a fund balance.

But the city also has a variety of funds that routinely keep fund balances on hand in case of unexpected expenses. Among some of the larger fund balance accounts are: Capital Improvement Reserve fund, $10.3 million; Equipment Reserve fund, $5.2 million; Sales Tax Reserve fund, $4.4 million; Farmland Remediation fund, $6.9 million; Special Gas Tax fund, $1.1 million; Community Development fund, $640,545. It is worth noting

that some of the funds are restricted by law in how they can be spent. For example, the Farmland Remediation fund can only be spent on approved environmental cleanup projects at the former nitrogen fertilizer plant. l Overhead costs have grown faster than everything else at City Hall. In the audit, city expenses are tracked under 12 broad categories. The “general government” category, which includes administrative salaries, pension costs, insurance costs, and other administrative functions rose by by 64 percent from 2005 to 2014. In dollar terms, the city is spending about $11 million more on general government expenses in 2014 than it did in 2005.

Other categories that saw significant changes for the time period included: l Public Safety: up 38 percent or about $10 million. l Public Works: up 11 percent or about $1 million. l Social Services: down 60 percent or about $2 million. l Culture and recreation: up 36 percent or about $2 million l Tourism: up 86 percent or about $600,000 l Interest on long-term debt: up 36 percent or about $1 million.

problems with how the city is accounting for its spending. But for the first time in recent memory, the audit will be formally presented to city commissioners at an upcoming meeting. Originally commissioners had planned to receive the presentation on Tuesday, but that presentation was delayed as some commissioners said they wanted more time to formulate questions about the document.

“It looks like things are in pretty good shape,” said City Commissioner Stuart Boley, who is a retired IRS auditor who was elected to the commission last month. “The baseline information looks great, but we need to spend a little bit of time figuring out what it means for the future.”

Here are some takeaways from the city’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report: l 2014 was a big year for the city to issue new debt. The amount of long-term debt increased to about $177 million, up from $148 million in 2013.

Projects related to the library, Rock Chalk Park, and water and sewer projects all were major contributors to the new debt.

The amount of debt the city has compared with its tax base increased significantly. In 2014, debt levels were 10.2 percent of the city’s total assessed value.

That was up from 6.7 percent in 2013. The 2014 total was the highest level in the last 10 years, although it had been at 9 percent several other years.

Bryan Kidney, the city’s recently hired finance director, said the city’s debt levels still compare favorably with many other peer communities. He said he’s pleased with Lawrence’ overall financial picture.

“I definitely see a growing community,” Kidney said. “There’s a lot of potential growth in retail sales and also in property taxes as the new business park opens up. I know there are a lot of other communities in the region that would like to have Lawrence’s financial picture.”

l Public safety is still the biggest expense. One thing that has not changed is over the last 10 years is that police and fire services still make up the largest portion of the city’s budget. Here’s a look at how the audit allocated expenses in 2014: l Public safety: $33.1 million l Water and sewer: $29 million l General government: $26 million l Public works: $14.5 million l Sanitation: $12.1 million l Culture and recreation: $9.7 million l Interest on long-term debt: $3.8 million l Stormwater: $1.8 million l Parking: $1.4 million l Health: $1.3 million l Social Services: $1.3 million l Tourism: $1.2 million l Golf course: $973,740 l Airport: $229,161

In the weeks since she formally, finally announced her campaign for the presidency in April, Hillary Clinton has sought to score points for style and substance.

A major Japanese maker of automotive air bags has agreed to nearly double the scope of its recall, making it one of the largest in U.S. history, the Transportation Department said Tuesday.

In agreeing to a consent order that increases the number of air bags under recall to 33.8 million in the USA, Japan’s Takata acquiesces to a massive recall that it had previously resisted. While not directly acknowledging its products are defective, it issued a statement that indicated that it is cooperating with the government.

The action expands regional recalls to make them national, adding about 16 million more vehicles to a tally that had already hit 17 million. Many of the previous recalls focused on mostly Southern states where humidity was thought to have been a factor in the deadly air bag deployments. Now they are nationwide.

“This is the largest recall we know of,” Mark Rosekind, administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, said at a press conference. It dwarfs the 2.6 million vehicles being brought back by General Motors to replace deadly ignition switches.

The recall will take years to complete and is “enormously complex,” Rosekind said.

Even before the announcement Tuesday, 10 automakers had announced individual recalls around the air bags in the U.S. The air bags are being recalled because their inflators can deploy too aggressively in an accident, spewing plastic or metal shrapnel. Six deaths are blamed on faulty Takata bags — five in the United States and one in Malaysia. All involved Hondas.

The Transportation Department “is taking the proactive steps necessary to ensure that defective inflators are replaced with safe ones as quickly as possible, and that the highest risks are addressed first,” Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said in a statement. “We will not stop our work until every air bag is replaced.”

The announcement is a major event in the long-running Takata air bag issue, analysts said.

Irish voters likely to pass referendum on gay marriage Kim Hjelmgaard USA TODAY

Ireland, long considered a bastion of social and religious conservatism, is poised this week to become the first country to approve same-sex marriage by a national referendum.

Before Friday’s vote, polls show a sizable majority support amending Ireland’s constitution to give same-sex couples the same marriage rights as oppositesex couples.

An Irish Times/Ipsos MRBI poll published last weekend showed about 70% of Irish voters LONDON

favor the change, a small decline from a poll in March. Many top names in government, sports and entertainment endorse the move.

The Catholic Church — in a country where roughly 85% are Catholic — is spearheading an uphill battle to defeat the measure.

“This is what the referendum is about: equality. Everyone should have the right to marry the person they love,” Prime Minister Enda Kenny told USA TODAY on Tuesday.

Ireland introduced same-sex civil unions in 2010, and partnership ceremonies have taken place in every county.

“If we win, and I believe we

will, this will be a huge moment for Ireland and for countries around the world that will see change of this kind come from a country that has been completely embedded in the Roman Catholic Church,” said Katherine Zappone, who grew up in Washington state and is the first openly lesbian member of the Oireachtas, Ireland’s lawmaking body.

She married in Canada.

Opposition is led by Catholic bishops and “No” campaign groups. “A civil partnership ceremony is identical to a civil marriage ceremony down to the saying of ‘I do,’ ” the group Mothers and Fathers Matter says.

ahead to the next phase of her presidential bid and tries to avoid the missteps that cost her in 2008, she will be challenged to put forward a clear rationale for her candidacy while dueling with scrutiny from media she has largely kept at bay.

Clinton “cleared a couple of important hurdles,” says Democratic consultant Ben LaBolt, spokesman for President Obama’s 2012 campaign. “The first is showing that she’s relatable and down to Earth.”

Clinton’s campaign staff seems to be functioning smoothly, without the internal turmoil that marked her 2008 effort, says Charlie Cook, editor of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report.

“Her campaign may make new mistakes but certainly seems like they won’t be making the same mistakes as last time. The arrogance seems to be gone.”

APPEALS TO THE LEFT

On the issues, she’s staking out ground that should appeal to liberal primary voters. She has said she favors citizenship for undocumented immigrants, supports same-sex marriage and suggested a constitutional amendment to overhaul campaign finance.

When she said in a speech in April in New York that economic success should be measured “by how many families get ahead and stay ahead,” she added a jab at Wall Street, calling family income a “far better measure (of prosperity) than the size of the bonuses handed out in downtown office buildings.”

Her call for “an end to mass incarceration” in a speech on criminal justice April 29 was an implicit acknowledgment of flaws in President Bill Clinton’s 1994 crime initiative, which funded thousands of police officers during a tough-on-crime era that sent prison populations soaring.

Her campaign says Clinton’s policy statements haven’t been aimed at the party’s left wing in particular. Immigration, criminal justice and same-sex marriage have “a common theme of justice, fairness, equity, social justice. The thematic that runs through them is consistent to her and her life’s work,” spokesman Jesse Ferguson says.

Her willingness to articulate positions on important issues to Democrats hasn’t cost her in polls of New Hampshire voters, says Neil Levesque of the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at St. Anselm’s College. “Sometimes incumbents or people who have big leads tend to equivocate because they don’t want to lose anybody,” he says. “She didn’t do that.”

Clinton still faces pressure from the Democratic left wing over President Obama’s Trans Pacific Partnership trade proposal, which many in her party oppose.

Clinton backed the free-trade deal negotiated during Bill Clinton’s administration and supported the Pacific pact while secretary of State. Now she says she wants to wait until a final agreement is reached before taking a position.

Like Jeb Bush’s efforts to distinguish himself from President George W. Bush, Clinton’s policy statements, though early in the campaign, are a way to distinguish herself from her husband,

Hillary Clinton takes questions after hosting a small business forum in Cedar Falls, Iowa.

Jennifer Jacobs

The Des Moines Register CEDAR FALLS , IOWA Breaking a long, much-scrutinized dry spell, Hillary Clinton allowed herself to be quizzed by reporters Tuesday in Iowa. Here is a sampling of questions and Clinton’s full response: Do you regret the way the Clinton Foundation handled foreign donations when you were U.S. Secretary of State?

Your opponents say the donations and your private email account are examples of the Clintons having one set of rules for themselves and another set of rules for everyone else.

CLINTON: “I am so proud of the foundation. I’m proud of the work that it has done and is doing. It attracted donations, from people, organizations, from around the world, and I think that just goes to show that people are very supportive of the life-saving and life-changing work that it’s done here, at home and elsewhere. I’ll let the American people make their own judgments.”

Clinton takes reporters’ questions gle that the Iraqi government and the Iraqi people are determined to win for themselves. We can provide support, but they’re going to have to do it.”

On your income disclosure, you are in the top echelon of income earners in this country. How do you expect every day Americans to relate to you?

CLINTON: “Well, obviously, Bill and I have been blessed and we’re very grateful for the opportunities that we’ve had, but we’ve never forgotten where we came from, and we’ve never forgotten the country that we want to see for our granddaughter, and that means that we’re going to fight to make sure that everybody has the same chances to live up to his or her own Godgiven potential. So I think that most Americans understand that the deck is stacked for those at the top, and I am running a campaign that is very clearly stating we want to reshuffle that deck. We want to get back to having more opportunities for more people so that they can make more out of their own lives. And I think that’s exactly what America’s looking for.”

Given the situation in Iraq, do you think we’re better off without Saddam Hussein in power?

CLINTON: “Look, I know that there have been a lot of questions about Iraq posed to candidates over the last weeks.

I’ve been very clear that I made a mistake plain and simple. And I have written about it in my book. I’ve talked about it in the past and you know what we now see is a very different and very We learned today that the dangerous situation. The United State Department might not States is doing what it can, but release your emails until ultimately this has to be a strug- January 2016. A federal LaBolt says. “She showed in the crime speech that they’re not the same candidate.”

The scattershot policy pronouncements have yet to reveal what her campaign is all about, says Dennis Goldford, a political scientist at Drake University in Iowa. What’s needed, he says, is a clear rationale for her candidacy.

“She still, I think, has not solved that problem. Other than the fact that she desperately wants to be president … what would Hillary-

judge says they should be released sooner. Will you demand that they are released sooner, and to follow up on the question about the speeches, was there a conflict of interest in your giving paid speeches into the run-up of your announcing that you’re running for president?

CLINTON: “The answer to the first is: No. And the answer to the second is: I have said repeatedly, I want those emails out. Nobody has a bigger interest in getting them released than I do. I respect the State Department. They have their process, as they do for everybody, not just for me, but anything that they might do to expedite that process, I heartily support. You know, I want the American people to learn as much as we can about the work that I did with our diplomats and our development experts. Because I think that it will show how hard we worked, and the work we did for our country during the time that I was secretary of State, where I worked extremely hard on behalf of our values, and our interests and our security. And the emails are part of that. So I have said publicly — I’m repeating it here in front of all of you today — I want them out as soon as they can get out.”

But will you demand their release?

CLINTON: “Well, they’re not mine. They belong to the State Department. So the State Department has to go through its process and as much as they can expedite that process, that’s what I’m asking them to do.

Please move as quickly as they possibly can.” ism mean to the country?” he says.

THE NEXT PHASE

Her campaign insists that the slow rollout in the opening weeks was all about letting Clinton learn what voters want and need. It also provides an opportunity for a handful of primary-state residents to get near a woman who has been demonized, as well as idolized, for decades.

“If she can continue to have

IN BRIEF WHITE HOUSE IS SET TO TACKLE RURAL POVERTY

The Obama administration is set to tackle the persistent and chronic issue of rural poverty.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack told USA TODAY on Tuesday that the administration is set to unveil pilot programs meant to bring more health care, child care and food to families in remote rural communities.

He said 10 communities across the country, particularly in the Deep South and on Indian reservations, where rural poverty is deep and persistent, will be chosen. He said the initiative will focus on programs that help a family as a whole unit, as opposed to separate programs for parents and children. “One in four rural children live in poverty,” he said.

those conversations (with voters), then that process is valuable both ways,” Ferguson says.

“A candidate who has not been in the mix in a while needs to find out what the big issues are and what people are dealing with,” Levesque says. “I think that she played it right. ... You really need to know how much a gallon of milk is before you get into New Hampshire and Iowa.”

Clinton’s campaign has designed her fundraising activity to appear low-key — though she will be the beneficiary of the super PAC Priorities USA. She has kept a busy schedule of fundraising at events where individual donations are capped at $2,700. The events are hosted by bundlers called “Hillstarters,” supporters who promise to recruit 10 donations of $2,700 each — a relatively low bar in the world of political finance.

Clinton has agreed to participate in six primary debates. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is the only other announced Democratic candidate, but former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley has an announcement set for May 30. Lincoln Chafee, a former Rhode Island governor, and former Virginia senator Jim Webb are also considering runs.

Clinton needs more opponents, not fewer, to succeed, Goldford says. “She desperately needs some top-tier competition to keep her sharp.”

Clinton will complete her tour of the primary states with another trip to New Hampshire this week, then a visit May 27 to South Carolina; she was in Iowa on Monday and Tuesday. Her campaign says it will be “a continuing process where she’s going to be on the road, continuing to listen to voters,” Ferguson says.

“Then we are going to turn to a more concrete, polished rollout phase of the campaign. We’re still in the phase where the first priority is making sure she has those conversations.”

All of her initial campaign activity has taken place against a backdrop of controversy: over donations to the Clinton foundation from foreign donors, over her use of personal email while secretary of State and over the attack in 2012 on American diplomats in Benghazi, Libya.

News organizations, as well as Republicans, have hammered Clinton for not giving interviews while campaigning. Tuesday, she fielded questions from reporters for the first time in weeks.

Clinton should make that issue go away, Cook says, if only by holding off-the-record sessions as her top campaign staff did with journalists before her announcement. “Have them over to the house and make nice, just to get them off her back,” he says.

It will be larger campaign themes that determine Clinton’s success, Cook says, rather than the running undercurrent of media snubbing or scandal stories. “It will be about bigger things. If Clinton can project herself as fresh ideas and future-oriented, generating energy and excitement, she will do very well,” he says.

This week, the Saudi Ministry of Civil Service began advertising for eight additional swordsmen to conduct executions, lob the hands off of thieves and perform similar duties. Beheadings are mandated under sharia law, although Saudi leaders considered adopting firing squads in 2013 because of a lack of swordsmen.

Human Rights Watch said the Saudis already have beheaded 85 people this year, just a few short of the nation’s total for all of 2014.

Waco police asking for a ‘truce’ Rival motorcycle gangs asked to ‘be a little peaceful’ Rick Jervis and John Bacon USA TODAY

WACO, TEXAS Police on Tuesday asked for a truce among rival motorcycle gangs following the explosion of violence at a restaurant that left nine people dead.

“We would ask that there be some kind of truce between whatever motorcycle gangs are involved,” police spokesman Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said. “We would encourage them to try and be a little peaceful and let the violence stop.”

Swanton has warned since

Sunday’s shootout at the Twin Peaks restaurant that more bikers could be headed to the central Texas city, possibly seeking revenge against police or rival gangs. He called the threat “credible.”

He added that the threats had “toned down” since Monday, saying he hoped it was in response to the police request that motorcyclists keep their bikes off the streets.

“Are we asking for help from criminal biker gangs? Absolutely we are,” Swanton said, but he added that the violence is “most likely not” over.

Preliminary autopsy reports show the fatalities were men between 27 and 65 — and that all died of gunshot wounds. The suspects, 170 of them, face charges of engaging in organized crime.

Some could ultimately face capital murder charges, which in Texas could mean the death penalty.

Swanton said the violence began at a meeting of bikers when members of an uninvited motorcycle gang apparently crashed the party.

Swanton, who previously said the fight started in the restaurant bathroom, said Tuesday the first skirmish may have taken place in the parking lot. He said the altercation may have started when someone’s foot was run over.

Swanton said it was not yet determined how many, if any, of the victims had been shot by officers.

Seven people remain hospitalized, he added.

Police on Tuesday continued processing the area immediately around the Twin Peaks restaurant. The adjacent parking lot re-

at the nearby Kohl’s store. She said she still felt Waco was a safe city.

For now, she was being extra cautious, like having her children stay home as much as possible.

This was the worst violent outbreak she remembers in Waco since the 1993 Branch Davidian confrontation, she said.

“It’s pretty scary that other bikers are coming here,” Yepez said.

“I’ve been here all my life and I’ve never seen anything quite like this before.”

Bertha Roesch, 60, of nearby Light, Texas, said Sunday’s incident shouldn’t put a bad light on Waco.

“It happens everywhere, not just here,” she said. “They’re everywhere.”

Ramadi rout shows limits of advisory role by U.S. Jim Michaels USA TODAY

PHOTOS BY MOHAMMED SAWAF, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Iraqi fighters from the Shiite Muslim Al-Abbas unit are among the army and allied paramilitary forces massed around Ramadi, looking for an opportunity to recapture the city from the Islamic State group before it builds up defenses.

Susan Rice sees ‘a long slog’ ahead against ISIL And the threat from the Islamic State now extends to U.S. soil, she warns

“I think Americans need to understand that we live in a world where the terrorist threat remains real.”

The fall of the strategic Iraqi town of Ramadi to the Islamic State is a significant setback that exposes continued weaknesses in Iraq’s security forces and opens a larger role for Shiite militias, White House national security adviser Susan Rice says. It has underscored the “difficult and extended operation” that remains against the jihadist group. “This is going to be a long slog,” she said.

In an interview with “Capital Download,” Rice described Abu Sayyaf, killed by U.S. special operations forces in a daring raid in Syria last weekend, as a “very significant figure within ISIL.” The debriefing of his wife, who was captured, and analysis of material seized at his compound could provide important intelligence information about the group’s operations and financing.

But the success of Islamic State fighters in capturing control of Ramadi despite a U.S. air campaign against them was “clearly a setback,” she said. With Iraqi security forces routed, the United States is now prepared to provide support for Shiite militias mobilizing to help with the battle in the largely Sunni province despite qualms about sparking sectarian tensions.

“It poses some concerns and some challenges,” Rice told USA TODAY’s weekly newsmaker series, but she noted that the proWASHINGTON

vincial council had invited the Shiite fighters, which are backed

by Iran. “From the U.S. point of view, we are prepared to support whether they are Sunni tribesmen, Iraqi security forces, Shia forces, Kurdish forces — provided they are all operating under the command and control of the Iraqi government in Baghdad.”

What the United States won’t consider, she said, is deploying U.S. troops. “We are not going to own this battle as Americans and put combat forces back on the ground again,” she said. “That is not what we are about.”

While she said the fall of Ramadi wasn’t “catastrophic,” she acknowledged it was a significant defeat at the hands of the selfproclaimed Islamic State, which is also known as ISIL and ISIS. “We have known from the outset ... that this would not be a short engagement by the United States,” she said.

The threat from Islamic State now extends to American soil, she said. Two ISIL sympathizers were killed outside Dallas this month after they tried to attack a

controversial exhibit of cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed.

“I think Americans need to understand that we live in a world where the terrorist threat remains real,” she said. “I don’t think any of us can discount the possibility that ISIL or al-Qaeda or one of their affiliates could be directly responsible for or be the inspiration behind attacks either in the homeland or overseas. ... I think we need to be realistic and recognize that that remains a risk.”

On Iran, Rice was upbeat about the prospects for reaching a long-sought agreement to curb Tehran’s nuclear program. The June 30 deadline to fill in the details on the framework released last month is just six weeks away.

“I wouldn’t say ‘confident.’

(I’m) hopeful,” Rice said. She called the odds “slightly” better than 50-50 that the negotiations between Iran and the international negotiating group that includes the United States and five other countries will be successful.

Rice, 50, has been one of Barack Obama’s closest foreign-policy advisers since the 2008 campaign. She served as United Nations ambassador in his first term. But she withdrew her name from consideration as secretary of State for his second term amid furor over the 2012 attacks on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, that left four Americans dead.

The rout of Iraq’s military in Ramadi exposes the limits of the White House plan to rebuild Iraq’s armed forces with a small number of U.S. advisers who are barred from the field of combat.

Ramadi is the latest setback for Iraq’s armed forces against the Islamic State, which overran much of the country last year.

Credit for successes against the militants goes to Iraqi Kurds or Shiite militias. In Kobani, a city on the Syrian border, a group of determined Kurdish forces backed by U.S. airstrikes fought Islamic State fighters for weeks, eventually driving them out.

In Ramadi, a Sunni city west of Baghdad, Iraq’s government has fallen back on using Shiite militias to recapture the city.

Several thousand Iraqi soldiers were driven from Ramadi over the weekend, hastily abandoning tanks, armored vehicles and artillery, the Pentagon said Tuesday.

Iraq’s armed forces remain in a “reactive mode,” said Mark Hertling, a retired Army lieutenant general who has served in Iraq.

The army leadership is in disarray, many units are not properly supplied with ammunition, and the government that supports them remains divided. The mili-

“Right now, (Iraqi forces) are just reacting to the next crisis.”

tary is under pressure on numerous fronts, including a fight for control of Beiji, a major refinery complex in northern Iraq.

“Right now, they are just reacting to the next crisis,” Hertling said, and are unable to conduct a broad offensive to retake territory from the Islamic State.

The loss of Ramadi will probably delay a major offensive to retake Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city, which has been under Islamic State control for almost a year.

If the country has to rely mainly on Iraq’s military, it will never defeat Islamic State militants, said Sadoon Obead al-Shaalan, a leader in Anbar province, where Ramadi is located. Most residents in the province are Sunnis, as are the militants.

The White House focuses on bolstering the armed forces as a unifying institution in a country long divided by feuds among the majority Shiite population, Sunnis and Kurds.

The U.S. military has 3,000 troops in Iraq, including about 650 trainers and advisers. They remain on large protected bases and do not accompany Iraqi units into the field, a condition President Obama insisted on to keep U.S. troops from being drawn into another war.

The advisers have trained about 7,000 Iraqi troops.

Criminal probe of 4 banks to yield billions in fines Kevin McCoy and Kevin Johnson USA TODAY

Citigroup (C), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Barclays (BCS) and Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) are expected to pay billions of dollars in collective penalties and plead guilty to manipulating foreign-exchange rates in settlements expected to be announced as soon as Wednesday, according to people familiar with the matter.

Marking the latest results from a global crackdown on financial corruption, the banks are expected to enter guilty pleas to criminal anti-trust charges as one part of broad settlements with the U.S. Department of Justice and other U.S. and overseas authorities and regulators, one of the people said.

More shareholders balk over salary of CEO Jamie Dimon Kaja Whitehouse USA TODAY

Nay-saying over JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon’s pay was higher this year than normal, suggesting growing shareholder discontent.

Just 61.4% of JP Morgan shareholders gave the thumbs-up to compensation paid to the company’s top five executives in 2014, including $20 million to the CEO, the company said Tuesday.

That’s down from 78% approval last year on the same nonbinding shareholder vote. It’s also well below an average vote of 90% for non-binding proposals at companies seeking shareholder input on their executive compensation plans.

Barclays bank has boosted its legal reserves as a result of the foreign exchange probe.

Street Journal and Bloomberg Business.

That investigation focused on alleged rigging of the London Interbank Offered Rate, popularly known as Libor. It ended with a 2012 settlement that had enabled UBS to avoid prosecution by U.S. authorities.

“Just as with individuals, companies are expected to learn from their mistakes,” Assistant Attorney General Leslie Caldwell said in an April speech at New York University, issuing a general warning that banks should not expect a free pass for multiple offenses.

The foreign-exchange investigation gathered evidence allegedly showing that bank traders criminally manipulated the $5.3trillion-a-day market by colluding to push currency rates up or down in ways that benefited their own transactions.

Six banks, including JPMorgan, Citgroup and Bank of America (BAC), agreed to pay $4.3 billion in a November settlement of similar civil allegations filed by U.S., British and Swiss financial regulators.

Evidence in the civil case showed that bank traders banded in groups with nicknames like “the 3 musketeers” and “the Ateam” as they tried to move foreign exchange rates at the daily 4 p.m. London time “fix,” one of the most widely referenced benchmarks for major world currencies.

Despite the expected criminal settlements, at least one part of the investigation — involving Barclays electronic trading — is expected to continue, according to one of the people familiar with the matter.

JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon, shown last May, argued with a shareholder at Tuesday’s meeting. company’s compensation program has been deficient in linking executive pay with corporate performance,” said Glass Lewis, which gave JP Morgan’s pay plan an “F” grade.

JP Morgan “is now one of the few, if not the only, large financial institution that does not tie any element of CEO pay to achievement of goals for a specific metric or metrics,” ISS said in its report to shareholders.

The $7.4 million was not only Dimon’s first cash bonus since 2011 due to the London Whale incident, it was also the largest

since 2007, before the financial crisis required taxpayer money to bail out the banks.

Dimon, who’s also the chairman of JP Morgan’s board, argued with a shareholder on Tuesday who took to the microphone to complain about the bank “tapping” taxpayers following the mortgage meltdown.

“That’s not the way it turned out,” Dimon said to the shareholder.

“That’s exactly the way it worked,” the shareholder retorted.

Shareholders overwhelmingly

voted to re-elect JP Morgan’s board, with the “for” votes all exceeding 95%.

A quarter of shareholders, or 25.4%, voted in favor of a proposal to provide greater disclosure of the banking industry’s practice of paying executives, through accelerated vesting of stock awards, if they jump ship to work for Uncle Sam. Thirty-six percent of shareholder voted for a proposal seeking to separate the chairman and CEOs roles, up from 32% in 2013, when the proposal last went to a vote at JP Morgan.

PayPal docked $25M in credit case Kevin McCoy

not authorized to discuss the case publicly until final details of the settlements were completed and made public.

The precise size of the total penalties was unavailable Tuesday. However, the four banks have increased their financial reserves in preparation for the settlements, according to recent public filings. Barclays alone reported it had boosted the British bank’s legal reserves for investigations and litigation primarily related to foreign exchange to approximately $3.8 billion.

Swiss banking giant UBS (UBS) had been expected to receive immunity from prosecution, because its officials stepped forward early and cooperated with investigators.

However, Department of Justice officials recently told UBS that its traders’ involvement in alleged rate-rigging would require the bank to plead guilty to separate charges of manipulating a financial benchmark that’s used to set rates on trillions of dollars in mortgages, loans and credit cards, according to The Wall

Online payments company PayPal illegally enrolled customers for an online credit program without their permission, a federal consumer agency charged Tuesday.

CFPB charged.

PayPal and the CFPB agreed to a consent order that would require the company to return $15 million to customers who were affected by the alleged practices.

The firm also must pay a $10 million penalty to the consumer agency. The consent order requires approval from a federal court judge in Maryland.

“This kind of conduct has no place in the consumer financial marketplace,” said CFPB Director Richard Cordray in a media phone conference announcing the action.

PayPal, which neither admitted nor denied the government allegations, said its credit program “takes consumer protection very seriously.”

“We continually improve our products and enhance our communications to ensure a superior customer experience,” said company spokeswoman Amanda Mil-

with applicable laws.”

Along with enrolling customers in PayPal Credit and making them use the service for payments, the CFPB said PayPal: u Failed to honor advertised promotions, such as a $5 or $10 promised credit toward consumer purchases. u Abusively charged consumers deferred interest fees that company practices made difficult to avoid. u Neglected to post payments or remove late fees and interest charges from bills even when website failures left customers unable to make payments. u Mishandled customer disputes about payments.

The proposed consent order would require PayPal to improve its consumer disclosure policies for PayPal Credit and not use the program as the payment method unless specifically authorized by customers.

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

In many things in life, timing is everything. And so it is with investing. Now on Wall Street all anyone can think about and talk about is the timing of the Federal Reserve’s coming rate increase.

The reason: Investors around the globe have trades tied to low rates, and any indication that the low-rate regime is going to end sooner than expected could deliver a supersized jolt to markets that are borderline complacent.

That brings us to today’s release of the minutes of the Fed’s April 28-29 meeting. At that meeting, the Fed took out all calendar-based language that relates to the timing of coming increases but acknowledged that the winter chill and strong dollar took a big

Facts about America’s investors who use SigFig tracking services:

bite out of growth and slowed the rise in inflation. Since the meeting, economic data ranging from consumer confidence to manufacturing to retail sales have come in weak, giving Wall Street the ammunition to push back the rate hike to later this year.

UBS fixed-income strategist Boris Rjavinski is betting the Fed moves in September but says the market is pricing in a December rate increase. “Hint of an earlier liftoff would be a surprise given the recent data softness,” he says.

So what should investors listen for? “You want to look for language ... describing a set of conditions the Fed will look for to initiate liftoff of rate (increases),” he says. Was the first-quarter slowdown “just a speed bump?”

Does the Fed still expect inflation to move closer to 2%? The answers could provide clues to the timing of the first hike.

Sluggish growth, rising costs give investors frowns Q: Can Walmart shake off its funk?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: It seems strange to refer to a company that posted $485.5 billion in revenue the past 12 months as struggling. But for investors, it sure feels that way.

Shares of Walmart are down 0.2% over the past year, which might not sound bad, until you consider the USA’s biggest retailer is lagging both the Standard & Poor’s 500 and the S&P Retail index. The S&P 500 is up 13% — and the retail index has done even better than that. Investors were sorely disappointed with Walmart’s quarterly results. Adjusted profit per share fell 6.4% during the period to $1.03, missing expectations by nearly 2%.

Longer-term investors have more important concerns. The company’s slowing revenue growth is a worry — as it shows Walmart is dealing with an issue of foot-traffic growth. Revenue grew just 1.7% during the most recent 12 months, well below the 5% revenue growth during the fiscal year ended in 2013.

Adding to the sluggish revenue problem is the fact overhead costs continue to creep upward.

Eventually, given the underperformance of Walmart and its below-market trailing 15-times price-to-earnings ratio, there could be value. But analysts rate the stock a “hold” as signs of improvement are needed first.

which supports Department of Defense agencies. The company guaranteed next-day delivery of packages by specified times under those contracts, federal offi-

cials said.

However, UPS concealed the company’s repeated failure to meet those delivery guarantees from 2004 to 2014, federal prosecutors said. The subterfuge allegedly prevented government customers for seeking refunds for late deliveries.

Government officials charged that UPS knowingly recorded inaccurate delivery times on packages to make it appear that the shipments had been delivered on time.

Additionally, UPS personnel knowingly used inapplicable “exception codes” to excuse late de-

livery — including “security delay,” “customer not in” or “business closed,” government officials charged.

UPS also provided inaccurate “on-time” performance data to the federal government under the company’s delivery contracts, federal officials alleged.

“The United States should get what it pays for, nothing less,” said Robert Erickson, acting inspector general of the General Services Administration.

UPS said the company negotiated a settlement “to avoid lengthy and costly litigation,” but continued to disagree with the

government’s position. The company, which did not acknowledge any liability in the settlement, will pay $25 million to the Department of Justice and $740,000 to the State of New Jersey.

“UPS values its relationships with all of its customers and continues to be a valued supplier in good standing with the federal and state government,” the company said.

Government officials said the settlement resolves a suit filed under the whistle-blower provision of the False Claims Act that permits individuals to file claims on behalf of the government.

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

JEFFREY R. STAAB, CBS

There’s longevity. There’s stamina. And then, there’s David Letterman, who, when he retires tonight, will have hosted 6,028 late-night talk-show broadcasts over 33 years.

Letterman, 68, was master of the acerbic interview: He was neither sycophantic, predictable nor encumbered by the late-night tradition of softball questions.

Which is why, says Olivia Wilde, “He doesn’t seem to be working for a network.”

After a decade on NBC’s Late Night, he lost out to Jay Leno in the battle to replace Johnny Carson in 1992, and bolted for CBS. Leno became the ratings victor; so is his successor, Jimmy Fallon.

But arguably it was Letterman who — with his blend of the absurd and the edgy — owned late night, if not in popularity than in cultural impact.

His departure caps a year of big late-hour changes; he’ll be replaced by Stephen Colbert come September.

“I look at the world as two guys: Johnny Carson and David Letterman. Those are the two guys who really set up what late night is,” says CBS CEO Leslie Moonves. “David’s influence was phenomenal. Whenever there was something important going on in America, you turned on David Letterman. He was the conscience of America; he was a bit of a social commentator, he was our local curmudgeon.”

Before the now-ubiquitous celebrity viral videos, Letterman grilled Paris Hilton about her time behind bars, unfazed by her reluctance. “See, this is where you and I are different. This is all I want to talk about,” he said.

“Did you make any friends while you were in prison?”

Mostly, he wanted to know about other people, asking celebrity guests about everything from hotel rooms (Cher) to body weight (President Obama).

“I’ve never met anyone who had the ... insatiable curiosity of David Letterman,” says Late Show producer Robert Morton, whom Letterman fired in 1996. “It’s the reason he was the best talk-show host ever.”

President Obama visited the show in its final weeks.

But Letterman’s few heartfelt moments are the best remembered, maybe because he shared so little of his private life with viewers. After 9/11, he wondered about religious zealotry. In 2003, he held up a photo of newborn son Harry, stunned that he was a part of something so “beautiful.”

And he talked about his 2000 heart bypass surgery, parading his surgeons on stage.

“You can count on one hand the amount of people who can sustain decades of hosting latenight comedy. It’s a very big deal,” says Charles Grodin.

Point Break is making waves again on the big screen, with a heap of extreme sports and a couple of familiar names along for the thrill ride.

Keanu Reeves starred as rookie FBI agent Johnny Utah, and the late Patrick Swayze was the Zen criminal surfer Bodhi, in Kathryn Bigelow’s original 1991 action movie. Luke Bracey (The Best of Me) and Édgar Ramirez (Deliver Us From Evil) take on those iconic roles in a new Point Break, in theaters Christmas Day and diEricson Core rected by (Invincible).

But the spirit of the original remains the same, Ramirez says.

“We’re always looking for a new

“That’s something very human and very rooted in us.”

Bracey’s Utah isn’t a former college quarterback but instead a gifted snowboarder and motocross racer who feels out of place

as a fed. He’s assigned to infiltrate Bodhi and his gang of environmental warriors, who are pulling off impossible physical feats while also breaking laws.

The director sees Bodhi as a Robin Hood of sorts, and Ramirez agrees that his character’s criminal activity does more than get his adrenaline pumping. “He uses the thrill as a vehicle to serve what lies behind the rush. How deeply can you connect to yourself by becoming one with the geological forces of the Earth?”

Along the way, there are nods to the ’91 Point Break, including a hat tip to the mask-wearing Ex-Presidents, and another “really beautiful homage” that Bracey says “I was so over the moon to be able to do.”

He and Ramirez worked hard to capture a sense of brotherhood similar to the one sowed by Reeves and Swayze.

“We’re good mates now,” Bracey says. “It was a really symbiotic relationship where we fed off each other’s energy.”

Kansas leads lottery picks

By Gary Bedore Twitter:@GaryBedore

Business Insider Australia has written a short piece that gives Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self some valuable ammo in recruiting.

Over the last 15 NBA Drafts, KU leads all colleges in lottery picks (top 14) with 13 — three more than any other school. North Carolina, Duke and UConn have had 10 lottery picks apiece in that span, followed by Kentucky (8), Arizona (7), Texas and Syracuse (6), Florida, UCLA and Indiana (5) and Georgetown (4).

KU has had eight lottery picks in the last five years, including last year’s No. 1 (Andrew Wiggins) and No. 3 (Joel Embiid). The article is available at http://ljw. bz/1Eiszcp l

FREE STATE PLAYERS PILE ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER NEAR FIRST BASE after defeating Manhattan, 3-1, in their regional championship game Tuesday at FSHS.

Free State earns title, state berth

By Bobby Nightengale Twitter: @nightengalejr

For the past two seasons, Free State High’s baseball team lost in the regional championship, one game shy of the state tournament. The Firebirds weren’t going to let another opportunity slip past them Tuesday.

Free State senior closer Casey Hearnen pumped his fist after he struck out the final batter in the seventh inning, clinching his team’s spot at state with a 3-1 victory over Manhattan at FSHS. His teammates rushed in from their spots on the field and the dugout, tossed their gloves in the air and jumped on each other in a dog pile down the first-base line.

After shaking hands with their opponents, the Firebirds raised their regional championship trophy.

“I’m thrilled. I can’t even explain it,” Hearnen said.

“The last three years we haven’t made it, and we’ve had pretty good teams. We were really expecting to make it. So this was just huge,

FREE STATE’S DANIEL BRYANT LOSES HIS BATTING HELMET as he slides safely across home plate for a run against Manhattan. and it feels great to do it with all my friends that I’ve all grown up playing with.”

Senior Joel Spain added: “Every year we want to get it more and more because the previous year we didn’t get it. So with four years before we were here, not getting to the state tournament really pushed us to work harder to finally get there.”

The Firebirds (18-4, ranked No. 2 in Class 6A) beat Olathe North, 12-2 in five innings, on

Tuesday afternoon before their victory over Manhattan (10-10) in the nightcap. It will be their first trip to state since 2010.

In the regional finals, Free State trailed, 1-0, in the first inning when Manhattan’s Braedyn Woborny and Garrett Francis hit back-to-back singles. Woborny scored on a throwing error. However, with a runner on third and one out, FSHS starter Hunter Gudde struck out the next two batters.

Gudde was dominant afterward, allowing just one more hit over the next five innings with his strong curveball, which helped force routine ground balls.

“End of the first inning, I really got in my groove,” said Gudde (8-0), who is one win shy of the school’s single-season record. “After that one run scored, I think we knew that we were going to get out of that inning fine. I just had to keep pounding the zone like I’m used to doing.”

When the Firebirds were looking for run support, Gudde helped himself. He swung at a first-pitch curveball and laced it into left field for a two-run, two-out single in the bottom of the first inning, scoring seniors Spain and Jon Saathoff, who both singled.

“The first inning, they get up on us and hit a couple balls hard,” FSHS coach Mike Hill said. “The kids responded in the (bottom of the first) inning and did it all with two outs and nobody on. That Please see BASEBALL, page 3C

Mack chooses Texas: Tevin Mack, a 6-6 senior small forward from Dreher High in Columbia, South Carolina, who is ranked No. 61 in the Class of 2015

Mack actually committed to coach Shaka Smart for the second time this school year. He signed to play for Smart’s VCU team but opted out of his letter-of-intent when Smart accepted the Longhorns job.

“It was the relationship that was the main thing. I signed with him in the fall.

He was the same person as six months ago,” Mack told The State newspaper.

The Longhorns have a three-man recruiting class that includes guards Eric Davis (Saginaw, Mich.) and Kerwin Roach (Houston, Texas).

“He has a unique blend of scoring, length and a really nice feel for the game,” Smart said Tuesday. “In particular, his ability to make shots from the outside is something that was extremely attractive to us in the fall and remains extremely attractive to us now. Personality-wise, he’s a great fit and he is very competitive.” l

FSHS softball falls short in regional title game

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Olathe — It took Free State High senior Emily Bermel a long time to exit the softball field Tuesday night at College Boulevard Activity Center.

She had too many teammates too embrace and too many tears to shed after Olathe Northwest beat the Firebirds 6-0, ending their season one victory shy of a second state tournament berth in three seasons.

“That was definitely the hardest part,” FSHS junior Emily Byers, a three-year teammate of Bermel’s, said shortly after playing with her Firebird companion for the final time. “I’ve just

grown closer with Em from my freshman year.”

In 2013, Bermel, Byers and current seniors Kylie Cobb and Lily Ross all played key roles on a FSHS team that reached the Class 6A state tournament.

“It makes it a lot harder these past two years, just wanting to go back,” Byers said. “The feeling you get when you win regionals is just awesome. That’s all we want. That’s our one goal.”

After producing a remarkable 10-run inning against Topeka in an 11-6 semifinal victory, though, the Firebirds only came up with two hits — both Ross singles — against the state-bound Ravens (20-2) and sophomore pitcher Aubree Herrin.

FSHS coach Lee Ice thought his players would be able to carry over momentum from their 10-hit, 10-run sixth inning against THS, which catapulted Free State (13-9) out of a three-run hole and into command. But Herrin never faced more than five hitters in an inning and finished with eight strikeouts.

“I’ve gotta give her credit,” Ice said. “She’s one of the better pitchers in the league.”

The Firebirds’ season would have ended a couple hours earlier had they not scored 10 runs with two outs against Topeka. They had one run and four hits before the offensive windfall.

first pick in draft

New York (ap) — The Minnesota Timberwolves won the NBA draft lottery Tuesday night, the first time since 2004 the team with the worst record won the No. 1 pick.

After years of bad luck in the lottery, things finally worked out for the Wolves, who can perhaps choose between big men Karl-Anthony Towns of Kentucky and Jahlil Okafor of national champion Duke to put next to Rookie of the Year Andrew Wiggins.

“We’re in this for big stakes,” said Flip Saunders, the Wolves’ president and coach. “The big thing about this is getting good talent that can blend together.

This is another big step.”

The Los Angeles Lakers moved from the fourth spot to second, keeping a pick they would have sent to Philadelphia if it fell outside the top five.

The 76ers are third followed by the New York Knicks, who had the second-best odds of winning but instead fell to fourth 30 years after winning the first draft lottery and drafting Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing.

Not since Orlando won the right to pick Dwight Howard in 2004 had the NBA’s ultimate game of chance came out in favor of the team with the best odds. The Timberwolves had a 25 percent chance of landing the top pick after finishing 16-66.

But their fans knew not to get their hopes up after the Wolves had fallen backward eight times previously, including both times they were in the pole position, 1992 and 2011.

Several hundred fans gathered to watch on the big screen at Target Center in Minneapolis and erupted when the Lakers card came out of the envelope for No. 2, meaning Minnesota had finally earned the top pick for the first time.

“Hope is nice to have,” said Jason Vincent, a fan of the team since 2001.

The Lakers were the other big winners even without moving all the way to the top. Their pick was only protected in the top five as a condition of their trade with Phoenix for Steve Nash in 2012. That was dealt this season to the 76ers, who could have ended up with two top-six picks if the Lakers had fallen backward two spots.

Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant ended his tweet after seeing the results with # lakerluck and # goodday.

The lottery sets the top three picks. The remainder of the 14 non-playoff teams follow in inverse order of their won-loss record.

Things went according to form until the Knicks slid back two spots. General manager Steve Mills hoped history could repeat by wearing Dave DeBusschere’s Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame ring, which DeBusschere was wearing as the Knicks’ GM when they won the 1985 lottery.

The lottery began that year as a way to prevent teams from losing on purpose as a way to secure the top pick. Tanking may still exist — the 76ers have appeared to be angling for the draft with no regard for their record the last couple of seasons — but the Wolves appeared to lose honestly while battling numerous injuries with a young roster.

Their victory, with owner Glen Taylor on stage, was only the fifth time the team that finished with the worst, or tied for the worst record, won the lottery.

The Cleveland Cavaliers had won the last two and three of the previous four lotteries since LeBron James left them for Miami in 2010. But with James back home, the Cavaliers are in the Eastern Conference finals and Miami was in the lottery, and the Heat held in the No. 10 spot where they entered.

Kansas City, Mo. — Former NL Rookie of the Year Rafael Furcal is retiring after 14 majorleague seasons.

The 37-year-old signed a minor-league contract with Kansas City during spring training, and the Royals placed him on the voluntary retired list Tuesday. He hit .240 with one double in 25 atbats for Class A Wilmington and Double-A Northwest Arkansas.

“To play in the major leagues for 14 seasons was a dream come true,” Furcal said in a statement. “I love the game, but at this point, I don’t feel like I can play up to my standards anymore and want to spend more time with my beautiful family.”

A three-time All-Star who won a World Series title with St. Louis in 2011, the shortstop hit .281 with 311 doubles, 113 homers and 314 steals for Atlanta (2000-05), the Los Angeles Dodgers (2006-11), the Cardinals (2011-12) and Miami (2014).

He won the rookie award with the Braves in 2000.

LJWorld.com/highschool • Facebook.com/LJWorldpreps • Twitter.com/LJWpreps

An All-Star in 2012, Furcal missed the 2013 season after right elbow ligament-replacement surgery that March. He appeared in nine big-league games last year, leaving what turned out to be his finale on June 21 after injuring his left hamstring.

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — It has been 23 years since the Kansas City Royals logged consecutive shutouts.

Yordano Ventura, Kelvin Herrera and Wade Davis combined on a four-hitter, and the Royals beat the Cincinnati Reds 3-0 on Tuesday night.

The Royals, who beat the New York Yankees 6-0 on Sunday, had backto-back shutouts for the first time since Sept.

29-30, 1992, when Dennis Rasmussen and Rick Reed blanked the California Angels.

The Reds have lost four straight, matching their longest streak of the season.

Ventura (3-3), who was 0-3 in his five previous starts since a victory on April 12, allowed four singles, struck out six and walked none.

He reached a threeball count on only four hitters and retired all of them, lowering his ERA to 4.56.

“This is the best I’ve felt this season,” Ventura said with teammate Christian Colon acting as his interpreter. “All my pitches were sharp. I was just focused on having my pitches down in the zone and having quality pitches.”

Ventura left his previous start due to an index fingernail tear, and that flared up again.

“I started to feel something in the sixth inning and Ned (Yost, manager) just told him let’s get your ready for the next start, let’s take you out of this one,” Ventura said.

Ventura retired 14 on ground balls.

LHS softball eyes redemption

By Bobby Nightengale Twitter: @nightengalejr

Lawrence High softball players were disappointed with the way their season ended last year. They felt they had the pieces to earn a trip to the state tournament but were knocked out in the first round of regionals.

The sixth-seeded Lions hope to make up for it this year when they open regional play today. They will face third-seeded

“It was amazing,” said Ross, one of six Firebirds to bat twice in the inning.

“We wanted it so badly.

It just took us awhile to wake up and see that this could be our last game.

We just started swinging the bats, and just that hype in the dugout helped us.”

Sophomore Mayah Daniels drove in the first run of the mega-rally with a two-out, bases-loaded

Washburn Rural in the first round of regionals at 4:45 p.m. at Olathe District Activity Complex.

The winner will play Olathe North (16-4) or Manhattan (10-10) in the regional finals.

“We just need to redeem ourselves and do it for our seniors this year,” sophomore Annie Grammer said.

The Lions (11-9) haven’t faced Washburn Rural this year but know they will have to be on

the lookout for sophomore pitcher Madison Roth, who throws a solid rise ball.

“They’re not the same Washburn Rural,” LHS coach Joe Dee Tarbutton said. “They are 14-6.

But they are still going to be good, and they are the type that expects to win this time of the year.

We’ve just to go out, and I told the girls, ‘Don’t be on your heels. Let’s go out and play and have fun.’”

single. Then nine-hole hitter and FSHS pitcher Elizabeth Patton tied the game at 4 with a two-run single. Free State took a 6-4 lead on Bermel’s base hit up the middle, before Cobb tripled and Byers, Dacia Starr, Kathryn Stanwix and Ross each tacked on RBI singles. By the time Topeka (11-10) fell too far behind to mount any dream of comeback, eight straight Firebirds had delivered hits.

“We just had to do it for our seniors,” Byers said. “That was our main drive. We saw in their

eyes that they just wanted to keep going.”

Overland Park — Free State High’s soccer season ended with a 2-0 Class 6A regional loss to Shawnee Mission East on Tuesday at the Shawnee Mission Athletics Complex.

“We played really well,” FSHS coach Kelly Barah said. “We played a

really good opponent. It was just a bounce here or there that was the difference in the game.”

FSHS trailed 1-0 at halftime.

“I think collectively, we did really well, including everybody on the bench,” Barah said. “Everybody was clued in on the game plan.”

In the seventh inning, Hearnen was brought in after Gudde issued a leadoff walk. Hearnen struck out two batters, sandwiched around a sacrifice bunt.

“There wasn’t a ton of pressure on, as far as runners on base,” said Hearnen, who tied the single-season school record with six saves. “But, yeah, I just wanted to come in and close it down for the team because we really deserved to make it to state this year. ... That’s always a great feeling.”

was huge. I think that helped us a lot.”

In the second inning, Free State added another run when junior Mikey Corbett drew a walk and scored on an RBI single from sophomore Zion Bowlin. Senior Marcileno Cortez, who was hit by a pitch, was thrown out on Bowlin’s single when he slid past home without Free State 3, Manhattan 1 touching the plate.

head coach) and other members of the Friar coaching staff frequently linked the words ‘Paschal’ and ‘lottery pick’ when discussing Chukwu’s vast potential,” writes Kevin McNamara of the Providence Journal. “He is the highest-rated big man Cooley and his staff has ever recruited after he was ranked the 61st best prospect in the country

by ESPN.com coming out of Fairfield (Conn.) Prep.”

McNamara added: “Filling Chukwu’s role will be next to impossible, at least in the 201516 season. The 20-year old owned great potential as a shot blocker and rebounder and owned excellent hands for a big man. That’s why he’ll be in great demand on the transfer wire over the next few weeks.”

Chukwu, a native of Nigeria, is expected to hear

from a plethora of programs.

“The Chukwu thing, I was blown away by. I didn’t know he was unhappy,” coach Cooley told the Providence Journal. “It was a total shocker. It blew me completely out of the water.”

Providence coach Cooley was quite candid in discussing with the Providence Journal the issues of so many players transferring recently.

“Any kid, when they’re unhappy with anything, they think there’s a quick fix somewhere else. I call them the ‘microwave generation.’ It’s the age of instant gratification. Not many kids want to persevere if they don’t get what they want right away. The ones who do become like LaDontae Henton (one of Providence’s all-time leading scorers who progressed yearly at the school).”

The Firebirds ended the season with a 6-10 record.

“I think going in, we had the label of being a really young team, and rightfully so,” Barah said, “but we were able to learn really fast, and by the end of the season, you would not be able to tell it was a young team.”

The Lions received positive news earlier this week. Junior shortstop Sophie Taylor is expected to play today after exiting their last game early because of a knee injury.

“That makes me feel a lot better,” Grammer said, “because she’s a great player.”

Though the Lions haven’t had full practices this week, with underclassmen prepping for finals and seniors readying for graduation ceremo-

nies, they have plenty of confidence they can earn a trip to the Class 6A state tournament.

“I feel the best I’ve ever felt going in,” Tarbutton said. “Tough bracket, but they’re tough all over, and our league is tough.

That’s the advantage to playing in this league.

You go out, and there’s no weak spots. ... The seniors are all relaxed. I’m hoping it’s not too relaxed, but they’re ready to go.”

BRIEFLY KU LHP Krauth lauded by league Kansas University junior left-handed baseball pitcher Ben Krauth was named Big 12 Conference Newcomer of the Year and was named to the AllBig 12 second team, the league announced Tuesday.

Teammate Krauth Connor McKay, a senior left fielder, was named to the All-Big 12 first team; sophomore catcher Michael Tinsley was named to the second team; and senior first baseman Blair Beck, senior second baseman Justin Protacio, sophomore closer Stephen Villines and freshman shortsop Matt McLaughlin earned honorable mention. McLaughlin also made the All-Big 12 freshman team.

“I was thrilled for Krauth when I found out he won Big 12 Newcomer of the

Year,” KU coach Ritch Price said. “He is very deserving of this honor. If he can keep improving and pick up where he left off, he will help put us back into the playoffs. I can’t wait to be able to run him back out there next year.”

Krauth, who attended Diablo Valley College (Pleasant Hill, California) for two seasons before coming to Kansas, finished his first Big 12 season with a 3-3 record and 2.45 ERA in eight conference starts. In 55 innings pitched, the southpaw struck out 54 batters and held opponents to a .236 batting average. His 54 strikeouts in conference play ranked first, while his 2.45 ERA ranked seventh.

Firebird LeBrun signs Avila letter Free State High lineman Josiah LeBrun recently signed his letter of intent to play football at Avila University.

He earned an All-Sunflower League honorable mention for his play on the offensive line last season.

National League Cardinals 10, Mets 2 New York — Randal Grichuk had three extrabase hits and drove in three runs a night after striking out five times, Mark Reynolds homered among his three hits, and St. Louis teed off on Mets starter Jonathon Niese on Tuesday night.

Michael Wacha (6-0) gave up a two-run homer to Daniel Murphy in seven innings of four-hit ball to join the Mets’ Bartolo Colon and Seattle’s Felix Hernandez for most wins in the majors. The six wins are a career-high for the 23-year-old righthander.

After his team went 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position in a 2-1, 14-inning loss Monday night, Cardinals manager Matheny loaded his lineup with right-handers to face the lefty Niese, leaving Jason Heyward, Matt Carpenter and Matt Adams on the bench.

American League Red Sox 4, Rangers 3 Boston — David Ortiz and Mike Napoli each homered and drove in two runs, Wade Miley pitched seven strong innings, and Boston beat Texas.

Boston got a scare when Leonys Martin led off the ninth with a pinchhit homer off Koji Uehara, ending the closer’s streak of eight straight hitless appearances. Uehara, however, held on for his 10th save in 11 opportunities.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Cousin ruffles feathers with baby name choice Dear Annie: Last fall we had a baby girl, and at the last minute, I decided on the name “Jane.” Unaware of this, my husband’s cousin’s wife commented that she had always loved the name “Jane” and that she and her husband had picked it out as the name they would someday give their child. Had I known this, I would have selected a different name for my child.

Well, this cousin is now pregnant with a girl. And even though our child is named “Jane,” they are planning to name theirs the same. I know I can’t tell them to change it because I had it first, but it still upsets my husband and me. I believe, out of respect, they should pick a different name.

Am I wrong? How do I calm down about this?

— I Picked It First

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

Dear Picked: No one has a monopoly on baby names, even if you are close relatives. This cousin picked “Jane” independently of you.

No one is intentionally trying to hurt someone else or deprive them of being special. We agree that it is easier when close family members choose different names, but truly, it is not as important as you think.

Here’s how you calm down: Your child was

’80s relic ‘Late Show’ wraps up Tonight marks the final episode of “Late Show With David Letterman” (10:35 p.m., CBS). Does a comedy era end with him? Or did it conclude some time ago?

It’s interesting that Letterman’s victory lap occurs only a few months after the 40th anniversary “Saturday Night Live” special. Both recall an earlier, edgier comic sensibility.

In some ways, Letterman’s departure finally concludes the deeply ironic, post-modern aesthetic of the 1980s.

Letterman and his early NBC writers, including his then-girlfriend Merrill Markoe, clearly wanted to distinguish Dave from Johnny Carson by projecting a certain knowing distance from his talk show host character. Carson was simply Carson, as his many ex-wives would attest. Letterman savored being both the Wizard and the Man-Behind-the-Curtain, often both at the same time.

Many have attacked younger hosts, Jimmy Fallon in particular, for tailoring his show to YouTube-worthy clips of guests engaged in songs and other antics. But Letterman’s couch was hardly a place for spontaneous conversation. He was famously testy with guests who thought they could simply come on and “talk.” Letterman praised regular guests including Tom Hanks and Bruce Willis who rehearsed for weeks before doing their “bit” on his show.

For my money, the talk show host getting the most out of his guests is Graham Norton, seen Saturday nights on BBC America. On the surface, he is as pleasant as Fallon, but his face often betrays his real and deeply sardonic take on the proceedings.

Unlike other shows, all of Norton’s guests come out together as a group. Each show rises or falls based on their chemistry and ability to engage in witty exchanges.

In the days of Steve Allen, Jack Paar and Dick Cavett, guests actually had conversations. Beginning with Letterman, guests had to perform. On Graham Norton’s show, you get to watch them at play. And it’s a refreshing difference.

Tonight’s other highlights

A winner emerges on “Survivor” (7 p.m., CBS).

The Mark of Cain looms large on “Supernatural” (8 p.m., CW).

BIRTHDAYS Singer-actress Cher is 69.

Actor-comedian Dave Thomas is 67. Actress Mindy Cohn is 49.

Rapper Busta Rhymes is 43.

born first. People already know her as “Jane.” When the cousin’s child is born, people will be inclined to give her a nickname in order to differentiate between the two babies. Adopting a lighthearted attitude about this will smooth everyone’s ruffled feathers, including yours, and will allow your child and her newest cousin to become good friends.

They will think having the same name is amazing and wonderful.

Please don’t be so upset that you teach them otherwise.

Dear Annie: I recently dated a woman who never offered to pay for a meal, a movie or so much as an ice cream cone. We went out several times.

We’re both in our late 50s and earn good incomes. She says she won’t pay for things

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Wednesday, May 20: This year you might consider trying a more efficient or creative way of handling your issues. You will discover that this is a process that continues to evolve. If you are single, you could meet someone sometime after summer or as late as next spring. If you are attached, the two of you will enjoy a very romantic period.

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) Pressure builds. You might feel as if you no longer connect with a friend at a distance.

Tonight: Put up your feet and relax.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You are likely to express yourself in a more emotional way than usual. Tonight: A private conversation.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You’ll smile and handle a personal matter with greater ease than you have in a while.

Tonight: As you like it.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You might be more emotional than usual, or at least you’ll express your sensitive side as you rarely do. Tonight: Be as clear as possible.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Know when to keep your thoughts to yourself. What has been a given suddenly could change. Tonight: Vanish quickly.

until she is in a committed relationship. I have no problem paying for anything that I invite her to. But she would suggest things for us to do and never offer to pay.

What’s the etiquette these days? — Ron Dear Ron: This is often a generational issue. Women who were brought up to believe the man pays for everything sometimes have difficulty sharing the costs.

But women who feel uncomfortable paying half the tab in a restaurant can reciprocate by inviting the guy over for a home-cooked meal or getting tickets to a play or a concert. A woman who refuses to make any effort in that direction is not playing fair.

— Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

jacquelinebigar.com

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A meeting might prove more important than you realize.

Relax and enjoy those around you.

Tonight: Read between the lines.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might not have the right words to handle a problem with someone you look up to. Tonight: Deal with a family member directly.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might be overly cautious about a financial matter, but at least you are less likely to make a mistake. Tonight: Go with the flow.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’ll want to understand what is motivating a close loved one. You might not get a clear answer. Tonight: Dinner for two.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might have thought you had a situation under control, but you could find out otherwise.

Tonight: Listen to others.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might want to focus less on fun and more on those in your daily life who need some attention. Tonight: Hang out.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You will want to rethink a problem that surrounds a boss or an older parent. Tonight: Let the fun begin.

Shaved Asparagus and Roasted Vegetable Pizza

ROASTED VEGETABLE PIZZA Shaved asparagus rules this quick-fix dinner

P

The Flying Fork

izza is a fallback dinner at our house.

When the cupboard is bare, I can still almost always pull together some sort of pizzalike concoction that pleases everyone and also uses up the random leftovers languishing in my refrigerator.

Pizza, in my mind, doesn’t always have to have red sauce and pepperoni. It is basically just a crust that is a vehicle for all manner of toppings and sauces. I had some tomatoes and a few spears of asparagus in my refrigerator, and my friend Lydia had gifted me some shiitake mushrooms her husband grew at his farm, so I wanted to find a way to use all of that up in one delicious meal.

Those veggies didn’t sound right with a red sauce

Megan Stuke and I didn’t have any cream cheese lying around for a white sauce, so I grabbed a container of hummus and thought “OK, why not?” It was an excellent choice.

Both easy and delicious.

If you haven’t had shaved asparagus, you need to try it immediately. Those ribbons get toasty and crisp and bring a burst of freshness to every bite of the pizza. The mushrooms added a “meaty”

quality, and roasted tomatoes are like nature’s candy.

This is lovely combination of textures and flavors and a simple meal that can be put together in just a few minutes, if you have the dough made in advance.

Shaved Asparagus and Roasted Vegetable Pizza For the crust Makes two crusts 1 1/2 cups warm water 2 tablespoons yeast 2 tablespoons sugar or honey 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup olive oil 4 cups flour For the toppings 1 cup hummus

23rd & Louisiana

Directions Put the water in the mixing bowl with the yeast and let it proof for a few minutes.

Then add the sugar, salt and oil and mix together. Finally, add in the flour and mix. I use the KitchenAid mixer and the dough hook, but it can easily be done by hand.

Remove the dough from the bowl, spread olive oil all around, and then put it back in to rise, covered, for at least an hour.

Prepare your toppings. To shave the asparagus, I first cut off the tips. Then I just lay the stalk on the cutting board and hold the end with one hand

while I run a vegetable peeler over it to shave off thin strips.

Turn it over and shave the other side down.

When you are ready to make your pizza, preheat your oven to 475 F. Roll out half the dough into one round crust (I like it paper thin) and put it onto an oiled pizza pan. Give it several good pokes with a fork and par bake it for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, pop the vegetables into a casserole dish or cast-iron skillet and put them in the oven to begin cooking while you bake the crust. I put the asparagus tips and the shavings in.

Remove the crust from the oven, cover it with the hummus, top with vegetables. Bake again for about 6 minutes at very high heat.

When it’s done, pull it from the oven and sprinkle with a little goat cheese or feta.

Spicy shrimp and noodles a quick meal with kick

By Susan Selasky Detroit Free Press

Shrimp is one of my goto ingredients to have on hand for a quick meal. I always have a few pounds of it tucked away in the freezer ready to make an appetizer or meal at a moments notice. Shrimp is ideal because it cooks quickly and most people love it.

This dish rocks in all categories: ease of preparation, ready in under 30 minutes and, of course, tasty.

What also makes this dish easy is using fresh Chinese- or Japanesestyle noodles. Either variety works in this recipe and they cook in less than 5 minutes. Look for them in the produce section of most grocery stores, sold in 9-ounce packages.

Spicy Shrimp and Noodles

Regina H. Boone/Detroit Free Press

fter explaining to my husband that no, I wasn’t actually keeping six jars of foaming wallpaper paste in the kitchen, I decided that something had to be done about the sourdough starter before it exploded and took over the whole house.

See, when you keep a starter, you have to discard some and feed the rest. I hate to throw something away when I’ve spent time trying to keep it functioning, so the starter was not only growing, it was breeding. Time to spring into action and come up with something yummy.

Having scoured various sites for sourdough discard pointers, I came up with something that will please kids and adults alike. If you don’t have an established sourdough starter, you can hit up one of your baking buddies or try one of the many how-tos that are available online.

Ingredients 9 ounces fresh Chinesestyle noodles 2 cups broccoli florets 2 cups snow peas 1 pound shrimp, peeled, deveined Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced 6 green onions, white and green parts thinly sliced separately, divided
