Miller again sentenced to life

By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

Douglas County District Judge Paula Martin for the second time sentenced Martin K. Miller to life in prison without the possibility of parole Wednesday. Jurors on April 8 decided Miller killed his wife, Mary Miller, 46, at the family’s central Lawrence home more than 10 years ago.

Free State High School grads get lots of open-ended advice

By Elliot Hughes Twitter: @elliothughes12

Graduation time usually means that graduates and everyone around them are thinking about what’s coming next. But the speakers at Wednesday’s commencement ceremony for Free State High School wanted to de-emphasize the plan-making.

Sophie Westbrook, the first of two student speakers, began the evening lamenting how often she and her classmates are asked what their plans are for next year, which she translated from “adultese” to

She said it becomes a problem when graduates have to answer that repeatedly, since it turns attention away from the accomplishment at hand.

“Continually explaining goals

makes it much harder to be happy where you are,” she said. “That’s too bad, because where we are is pretty great. We’re graduating from Free State High School. Let’s enjoy it.”

About 350 Free State High students received their diplomas inside Kansas University’s Allen Fieldhouse Wednesday night, in an event that was moved indoors because of rainy, cool weather. More than 2,000 people filled the bleachers to watch the green-gowned students receive their diplomas.

partisanship of our secretary of state.”

“No other previous secretary of state has asked for this power,” he added. “To the best of my knowledge, no other secretary of state across the country has this power. It’s about taking away local control from local prosecutors. And ultimately I think it’s about intimidating voters.”

Ballard said she doesn’t believe the job of prosecuting crimes belongs in the secretary of state’s office.

“I just have never thought of the secretary of state’s office as competing with the attorney general’s office,” she said. “And I would hope we are not doing that and taking away the local control.”

The bill would amend several statutes about election crimes, increasing the severity level of some from a misdemeanor to a felony.

That would mean people could also be prosecuted for attempting to violate the law.

It would also lower the standard of proof in order to obtain a conviction so that a prosecutor would not have to show that a person knew his or her actions were illegal. They would only have to show that the person knew he or she had engaged in a particular act, regardless of knowing it was illegal.

Opponents of the bill said that could include voting, or even attempting to vote at the wrong polling place, or doing so without being registered.

The bill was requested

by Republican Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who argued in committee hearings that election crimes were going unprosecuted by local county and district attorneys. He also argued that other state officers, including the insurance commissioner and securities commissioner, also have the power to prosecute specific types of crimes under their jurisdiction.

But Democrats argued that each of the alleged criminal acts Kobach referred to actually had been addressed by local prosecutors. They said many turned out to be unintentional mistakes by the voters and they were offered diversion agreements, meaning the charge is dropped in exchange for the accused agreeing not to commit the act again.

One case involved an elderly couple who had moved from Johnson County to Arkansas but still owned property in Johnson County and were on Johnson County’s list of people who are automatically sent advance ballots. They marked their ballots and mailed them back. Their ballots were not counted and the Johnson County district attorney declined to prosecute them.

Opponents of the bill offered several amendments, but all of those were defeated. That means, if it passes on final action today, it will go to Gov. Sam Brownback for his signature.

But it is unclear whether supporters of the bill can muster the 63 votes needed for final passage. That’s because at least two of the yes votes Wednesday came from Democrats who oppose the bill: Reps. John Carmichael and Jim Ward, of Wichita.

They tried unsuccessfully to use a parliamentary maneuver to kill the bill after Wednesday’s vote by offering a motion to reconsider the previous action. That motion can only be offered by someone who voted on the prevailing side, and it can only be done once on a bill.

Had they succeeded, the bill would have been killed and could not be brought back up later in the session.

But there were also a number of Republicans who voted against the bill Wednesday who could switch their vote on final passage. And there were five House members who were not present to vote Wednesday but who may be present today.

the state, including legislators, the Kansas Board of Regents and parents, criticized Chalmers for being too lenient with the activists.”

Protests over racial issues and the Vietnam War filled the city, and that summer, an 18-yearold was fatally shot during a riot on Oread Avenue.

Chalmers’ time at KU was short. He spent many more years in the arts.

He resigned from KU to lead the Art Institute of Chicago, a position he held for 14 years. According to his obituary, he then served as president of the San Antonio Museum Association.

Chalmers died in 2009.

The 115,000-squarefoot Art and Design Building was constructed at a cost of $5.75 million, according to KU’s buildings directory.

It’s home to all things visual art: classrooms, shops and studios for design, painting, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, industrial and

Miller CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Mary Miller’s death was a homicide.

Ney contended that his client did not kill Mary Miller because she died of natural causes. Ney presented two expert witnesses who testified she could have died by a seizure, heart attack or anaphylactic shock.

Autopsy results revealed Mary Miller had no external bruises on her body at the time of her death.

However, Douglas County Coroner Erik Mitchell, who conducted the autopsy, testified that bruising on the inside of Mary Miller’s neck and scalp, and edema foam seeping from her nostril and petechiae inside her eyelids were “consistent with strangulation.”

Ney on Wednesday argued that Miller should be acquitted because Mitchell, in determining the manner of death, testified that he used police information about Miller denying being in the room when Mary Miller died.

“We think the jury was submitted evidence that did not support a conviction,”

facility naming policy, buildings generally are named for “distinguished individuals who have made extraordinary contributions of a scholarly, professional or public service nature related to the university’s mission.” In some cases, they may be named for major donors to their construction.

Ney said.

Ultimately, Martin denied the motion for acquittal, upholding the jury’s decision.

Ney also argued for another retrial because “the court erred in not allowing a change of venue” in the case. Ney said that despite three days of tedious, individual jury selection, “a member or members of the jury knew the defendant was previously convicted,” which unfairly prejudiced the jury.

Ney argued the prejudice was evidenced by the relatively short amount of time — about five hours — the jury took to convict Miller the second time. Ney said that jurors on the first case, which he “humbly argue(d) was a weaker case,” took more time to render a verdict. However, Martin denied his request.

“That’s purely speculation,” Martin said. “You just don’t know what’s going on in that jury room.”

Ney also argued for a retrial based on Martin’s decisions to overrule several of Ney’s objections to the state’s closing arguments. Martin denied that request, as well.

Before Martin handed down Miller’s 25-to-life sentence, she asked Miller if he would like to make a

statement. Miller declined the opportunity, and Martin quietly read a written statement Miller’s daughter gave to the prosecution in support of a strong sentence.

their students, according to the foundation.

This is the first year the award has been split between two educators, said Gail Vick, president of the foundation’s board of trustees.

“You don’t very often have married teachers in the same schools,” she said.

In announcing the couple’s recognition, Superintendent Rick Doll read several submitted comments from students and teachers alike.

“Mr. Jones taught with calm confidence that inspires students’ respect and cooperation, two necessary elements in classrooms of up to 150 students at a time,” Doll read.

“Rachel is an amazing musician, but she has an equal passion for the teaching of her students both on the junior high level as well as high school,” he continued.

Holding bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Missouri — Kansas City and Southern Oregon University respectively, Jones began working for Lawrence High School in 2001.

Throughout his tenure, his classes have included Concert Band, Symphonic Band, AP Music Theory, Jazz Improv and Wind Ensemble.

Dirks holds a bachelor’s degree from Bethel College and a master’s from the University of Texas in Austin. She joined the staff at Lawrence High School in 2001. Over the years she has taught Instrumental Music/Orchestra, Freshman Orchestra, Concert Orchestra and Symphonic Orchestra, among many others.

Both Jones’ and Dirks’ parents were at the ceremony, congratulating their children on the award. Neither set of parents were surprised by the recognition, and both acknowledged the positive working and personal relationship between the two.

“Their offices are right across the hall from each other, and they’ve still managed to be friends,” said Marvin Dirks, Rachel Dirks’ father. “Sometimes closeness can produce irritation, but those two go right over that stuff.”

Dirks and Jones said they were surprised and humbled to receive the award, but were not yet sure how they would spend the $10,000.

“It’ll go towards something proactive,” said Dirks, laughingly.

The Bobs Award was established through the foundation by a group of community members who wish to remain anonymous. Each member, however, shares the same first name, Bob. The Lawrence Schools Foundation is a nonprofit organization focused on raising money for the benefit of students in Lawrence’s school district.

Westbrook said it’s likely that she and her classmates will stray from the paths they have set out for themselves and told them not to be carried away by those plans.

“Goals are great, but they don’t mean as much unless we stay more or less grounded in the present,” she said.

Shannon Kimball, president of the Lawrence school board, touched on similar sentiments. She began her remarks by saying her post-high school life wasn’t identical to the plan she had mapped out for herself. She encouraged the graduates to be open to going in unexpected directions.

“Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the things you did,” she said.

The second student speaker, Hannah Reussner, invited her classmates to look back on their years in school and marvel at how far they’ve come.

She likened her class to the train from “The Little Engine That Could” that thought, “I think I can,” as it climbed a mountain.

“We’ve faced the challenges of bad test grades, of relationship difficulties,” Reussner said. “I know that some of you are battling or have battled a serious disease.

Some have lost a loved one. And some of you, along with families, are dealing with the loss of a job, a painful divorce or suffering from drugs and alcohol.”

Her message to her classmates who can’t predict what challenges they will face was simple: “I know you can.”

ing and other wellness programming. The lease will be for 10 years at $50,000.

The proposals now go to the Lawrence City Commission.

Tim Laurent, recreation operations manager with Lawrence Parks and Recreation, said there has been some discussion among Parks and Rec staff members about what the city offers, what LMH offers, and how they can work together. However, the proposal still needs to go before the City Commission, so conversations have been preliminary.

But he was enthusiastic about the potential for the collaboration.

“We are pretty excited about the possibilities and looking forward to what this partnership could bring for LMH and for us, and most important, for the community,” Laurent said.

Taxes

come taxes in 2012 and 2013 at Brownback’s urging to stimulate the economy. They reduced rates, dropping the top one 29 percent.

The state Department of Revenue estimates that the business profits exemption is worth about $220 million a year, or about 22 percent of the total income tax cuts for the next fiscal year.

Republican legislators are split over narrowing or repealing the break. If they don’t, they’ll have to rely more heavily on raising sales, tobacco or gasoline taxes to raise new revenues.

Rep. Tom Sawyer of Wichita, the House tax committee’s top Democrat, said Brownback’s tactic makes it easier to repeal or modify the business profits exemption.

“I think the governor’s going to sign whatever we pass,” Sawyer said.

The House committee’s plan would raise $23 million during the next fiscal year by retax-

ing some exempt business income. The Senate expects to debate a plan today or Friday that would repeal the exemption and replace it with a less lucrative income tax credit against each business’ payroll, raising $82 million.

GOP Rep. Kasha Kelley, of Arkansas City, said the outcome is important because of the national attention Kansas has received over the 2012 and 2013 tax cuts and its move toward phasing out income taxes. She said officials who favor lower taxes should have a unified message.

“He should make his thoughts known,” Kelley said of the governor.

But NFIB lobbyist Dan Murray said a declaration from Brownback could intensify the debate over preserving the tax break because it could “ruffle some feathers.” House Taxation Committee Chairman Marvin Kleeb said Brownback’s tactic is helpful.

communications at LMH. “And from there it has morphed into a greater partnership.”

Meyer said LMH is committed to collaborating with city and Parks and Rec staff to identify and develop health and wellness programming, such as health screenings and educational presentations.

Collaborations such as the Health Spot at the Lawrence Public Library have already broadened health education conversations in the community, Early said, and this new proposal will only create more opportunities. “We haven’t even scratched the surface of where this partnership can go,” she said.

LMH also is proposing a lease of 4,007 square feet of space at Sports Pavilion Lawrence for sports performance train-

But Brownback said during a brief interview, “I’ve purposely not drawn a lot of very clear lines and have been purposely saying I want to move off of income tax onto consumption tax, and let’s see what we can do.”

Brownback said his approach is “much more useful” for resolving tax issues. Legislators convened Wednesday for the 94th day of their annual session, four more than its leaders traditionally schedule, at a total cost of $43,000 per day.

“It is complicated, but I think the process is moving in the right direction,” he said. “It can get frustrating because you just want to get it done NOW, but you’ve got to work with people.”

BOOKER T. JONES WILL TAKE PART IN A DISCUSSION as part of the Lawrence Public Library’s new 780s Series at 7:30 p.m. today at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St. The event is free and open to the public.

The storyteller from Stax —————

Music legend Booker T. Jones kicks off library’s new 780s Series

By Fally Afani Special to the Journal-World

It was back in the ’70s that legendary blues musician Booker T. Jones discovered the importance of storytelling. He was living in Santa Barbara, Calif., and found himself in the company of an African storyteller.

“He was telling stories about stuff at the time that didn’t really relate to me, stuff that had been passed down through the ancestors,” he says. “It’s important because those things weren’t written down on paper. I think it’s a good thing for society to know what went before the history of music.”

A new role Now, Jones is the one taking on the role of storyteller. He’ll be speaking tonight as part of the Lawrence Public Library’s new 780s Series at Liberty Hall, a free event named after the music section of the Dewey Decimal System that the library hopes will become an annual thing.

The inaugural affair features a talk with Jones, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member and one of the most influential R&B and blues musicians of the past century.

“Libraries had author events forever. But this being the music town that it is, I thought that doing

IF YOU GO Talking Music with Booker T. Jones will be 7:30 p.m. today at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are not required, and general admission is available on a first-come basis.

an interview and discussion series with musicians and songwriters would be something that people in this town would find intriguing,” says Library Director Brad Allen, who hopes Jones can talk about historic events in the context of his experiences as a musician.

“With Booker T. Jones and Stax Records, it sits at the heart of the rise of the civil rights movement, and its decay and collapse.

A person like Booker T. Jones sits at this cultural point where he saw a lot of what was happening in American society through the lens of music, which I think is an important story to be told.”

Jones says that, like the African storyteller he listened to in his younger days, he fits into that role now and can offer a unique perspective based on his experience in the early days of Stax Records in Memphis, Tenn.

“I guess I’m something

of a storyteller, too. How I fell into the community of musicians in Memphis that were kind of influential in developing new styles of blues and R&B, that became the Memphis sound,” Jones says. “My personal story was one beginning with gospel music and classical music and slipping into clubs as a young boy, figuring out what I liked and what I loved, my own personal classical training on the organ, how that all converged into a person that walked into Satellite Records in 1960.”

The momentum of music It was as a young boy that Jones discovered the beginning of a journey that would span several decades in music. He wrote one of his biggest and most recognizable hits, “Green Onions,” before he graduated high school. The now 70-yearold Jones says not much has changed since then.

“It’s pretty much effortless. The momentum is kind of flowing with the wave as far as myself goes. I’ve always been driving my love of music, listening to music and then wanting to play it. The creative thing has always been there inside of me. It’s always something that has existed inside of myself,” he says.

“I have music playing in

my mind, and my goal was I would like to play this melody that I hear, as a young boy, and it’s still there. It hasn’t changed.”

Jones also disclosed how he perfects his craft.

“I study all the time. I studied then and I study now … I still do my scales every day that I did when I was eight or nine years old. That’s kind of an anchor for me, to go back to my early piano training.”

But Jones also recognizes when songwriting technique develops and changes over time, and he eagerly takes on new manners of music.

“Now, of course, we have the digital aspect of music, and I started studying that a few years ago,” he says. “I studied Pro Tools, Logic, Ableton Live, and I still practice. I still compose, and I’m still meeting a lot of older and younger people that I’m going to be collaborating with and continue on this music-making path that’s been so good for me.”

Jones also views the younger generation of musicians fondly.

“To me, the most interesting part is the curiosity and interest of today’s musicians,” he says. “The old is not dying away. It’s not dying. It’s still alive in the young.”

Student feels pressured into sex by boyfriend Dear Annie: I am 17 years old and still in high school. I recently became “Jake’s” girlfriend. We’ve been dating for about a week.

I’ve known Jake as a friend for a year, and we hang out with the same group. I never had feelings for him until I learned that he liked me, and even then, my friends kind of pushed me into the relationship.

His last relationship didn’t last long, partly because he and the girl had sex right away. When Jake and I started dating, I told him I am a religious girl and am not going to do sexual things with him. Well, we went to prom together and back to his house afterward, where we were alone. He started to put his hand up the back of my dress. I

that I have feelings for another guy, and now I don’t know whether I like him more than Jake. But if I break up with Jake, I will be booted out of our group, and I have no other friends.

I don’t know what to do. I feel that Jake is pressuring me a little about sex, even though he hasn’t actually demanded anything. Should I stay with him and see where it goes? Should I wait until summer to end it so that the group will have time to adjust without making things super-awkward? Or should I just end things now and face losing my friends?

you don’t actually like him and you feel pressured. We’d do it now, but if you would feel more comfortable waiting until school is out, that’s OK, too. You and Jake might be able to drift apart more naturally then.

The next day, we went to his house to watch a movie, and he started jumping all over me. It made me uncomfortable, but I’m not good at communicating that, so I didn’t say anything.

Can British charity day thrive here?

Does “Red Nose Day” (7 p.m., NBC) represent the future of TV? Is it an innovative blend of streaming content and broadcast entertainment? Or just an old-school fundraising stunt?

An established comedy charity event in the United Kingdom, “Red Nose Day” arrives on these shores in marathon fashion, as Nick Cannon attempts to dance for 24 consecutive hours in the “Red Nose Day Danceathon With Nick Cannon,” leading up to tonight’s special.

NBC.com will document Cannon’s efforts with a continuous live stream until “Red Nose Day” begins at 8 p.m. EST. Look for Julia Roberts, the cast of “Game of Thrones” and too many stars to mention engaged in comedy sketches and movie parodies, all with an emphasis on the silly and a goal of raising money and awareness of children living in poverty in this country and abroad.

“Red Nose Day” was founded in 1985 by director/producer Richard Curtis (“Four Weddings and a Funeral”). A popular feature on the BBC, it has raised more than $1 billion for charities addressing poverty.

Nickelodeon star Jennette McCurdy (“iCarly,” “Sam & Cat”) stars in the new series “Between,” streaming on Netflix beginning tonight at 8:30 p.m. PST. She portrays a pregnant young woman from the small city of Pretty Lake, which has suffered from a peculiar plague that has killed everybody over 21.

In a twist, Netflix will not stream the entire six episodes of the Canadian-produced series all at once. They will debut at this time every week on Thursdays, just as they would on a “regular” TV network. Netflix: What will it think of next?

Tonight’s other highlights

Tough questions abound

on “500 Questions” (7 p.m., ABC).

Ethan tries to unravel the mysteries behind Evans’ murder on “Wayward Pines” (8 p.m., Fox).

Josh treats Billy on his birthday on “The Comedians” (9 p.m., FX).

Road-tripping on “Louie” (9:30 p.m., FX).

Capital punishment on its way out

EDITORIALS

Key hire The Lawrence City Commission is facing a number of big issues but none more important than the selection of a new city manager.

H

iring a new city manager is a big responsibility, and Lawrence city commissioners are right to seek additional input and expertise in conducting their search.

On Tuesday, commissioners agreed that Commissioner Mike Amyx would lead the search effort and that Vice Mayor Leslie Soden also should serve on the search committee. Amyx is the obvious and correct choice for this job.

He has by far the most experience with city government as well as good contacts in the community.

Mayor Jeremy Farmer said he wanted a broad-based search committee that included representatives of the school district, county government, Kansas University, Haskell Indian Nations University and the city staff. It’s good to seek input from many different segments of the community, but it’s certainly possible to have a search committee that’s too large to work effectively.

Perhaps the commission should consider having a smaller search committee that seeks input from a larger group of community representatives.

Commissioner Stuart Boley’s desire to discuss the city manager search with the professionals at KU’s School of Public Administration is a good step.

In addition to providing some valuable expertise, they may help the city identify potential candidates from among graduates of the KU program.

The commission apparently already has decided to conduct a nationwide search with the assistance of a hired consulting firm. It’s probably good to advertise nationally for a city manager, but some preference might be given to candidates who have some connection and experience with Lawrence or KU. A consultant could be helpful in setting up a timeline and process for the search, but the local committee shouldn’t cede too much of its responsibility to seek out top candidates who would be an especially good fit for Lawrence.

The first step for commissioners is to have some serious discussions about what they are looking for in a new city manager. During a brief discussion on Tuesday commissioners said they would like to hire someone with strategic planning experience and, in Amyx’s words, “someone who makes sure we understand the pitfalls of going down a particular path.”

As departing city manager David Corliss noted in a recent interview with the Journal-World, Lawrence might benefit from a long-range planning process that would help it set and focus on specific goals for the future.

The next city manager will play a key role in Lawrence’s future. Nothing that city commissioners do in the next few months will be more important than finding the best possible person to fill that job.

Washington — Without a definitive judicial ruling or other galvanizing event, a perennial American argument is ending. Capital punishment is withering away.

It is difficult to imagine moral reasoning that would support the conclusion that an injustice will be done when, years hence, the death penalty finally is administered to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Boston Marathon terrorist who placed a bomb in a crowd and then strolled to safety. Sentencing to death those who commit heinous crimes satisfies a sense of moral proportionality. This is, however, purchased with

judicial reasoning. And it is not the judiciary’s business to worry that a ruling might seem to “countenance” this or that social advocacy.

The conservative case against capital punishment, which 32 states have, is threefold. First, the power to inflict death cloaks government with a majesty and pretense of infallibility discordant with conservatism. Second, when capital punishment is inflicted, it cannot later be corrected because of new evidence, so a capital punishment regime must be administered with extraordinary competence. It is, however, a government program.

Since 1973, more than 140 people sentenced to death have been acquitted of their crimes (sometimes

by DNA evidence), had the charges against them dismissed by prosecutors, or been pardoned based on evidence of innocence. For an unsparing immersion in the workings of the governmental machinery of death, read “Just Mercy” by Bryan Stevenson, executive director and founder of the Equal Justice Initiative.

Third, administration of death sentences is so sporadic and protracted that their power to deter is attenuated. And the expensive, because labyrinthine, legal protocols with which the judiciary has enveloped capital punishment are here

to stay. Granted, capital punishment could deter: If overdue library books were punishable by death, none would be overdue. But many crimes for which death is reserved, including Tsarnaev’s crime of ideological premeditation, are especially difficult to deter.

Greater deterrent Those who favor capital punishment because of its supposed deterrent effect do not favor strengthening that effect by restoring the practice of public executions. There has not been one in America since 1937 (a hanging in Galena, Mo.) because society has decided that state-inflicted deaths, far from being wholesomely didactic spectacles, are coarsening and revolting.

Revulsion is not an argument, but it is evidence of what former Chief Justice Earl Warren called society’s “evolving standards of decency.” In the essay “Reflections on the Guillotine,” Albert Camus wrote, “The man who enjoys his coffee while reading that justice has been done would spit it out at the least detail.” Capital punishment, say proponents, serves social catharsis. But administering it behind prison walls indicates a healthy squeamishness that should herald abolition.

Writers miss point on police violence Maybe some people didn’t understand the question.

It was posed in this space a few weeks ago by Tracy, a self-described 55-year-old white woman from Texas who is sick and tired of the mounting litany of police violence against unarmed African-American boys and men. She wanted to know what actions she, as an average person, might take to help bring about change.

“What can I do?” she asked.

I thought the question so powerful and poignant that I decided to devote a series of columns to answering it.

I invited readers to offer answers of their own.

It will be sometime deep in summer before I finish digging out from under the 700-plus emails that poured in as a result. Many brought intriguing and creative suggestions — civilian review boards, policy changes, body cams — that we’ll discuss in future columns. But many other readers thought the answer lay with black people improving their behavior.

One, for instance, decried a “breakdown of the black family.”

Another wrote, “Always obey, no matter what, a police officer.”

Still another advised: “Stop fornicating. Live a

conservative lifestyle.”

Coincidentally enough, as I was reading these emails, police in Dover, Del., were releasing dashcam video of a 2013 incident in which Cpl. Thomas Webster, responding to a call of a fight at a gas station, rolls up on Lateef Dickerson, who is standing there with his hands raised.

Webster orders him to the ground. As Dickerson, a 30-year-old black man, is complying, Webster kicks him in the face, breaking his jaw and knocking him unconscious.

That damning video not-

withstanding, a grand jury initially declined to indict Webster and he returned to duty. Only this month did a second jury finally indict him on felony assault charges.

So I wrote to some of my correspondents asking them to explain how experiences such as these reflect the breakdown of the black family. Obey the police? That’s what Dickerson was doing when he was kicked. And how, one wonders, would sexual prudence or tea party membership have saved him from having his jaw stove in?

To date, I have seen no satisfactory response.

Let’s be clear. The question of what African-American people can and should do in the cause of AfricanAmerican uplift is a valid one. But to suggest — as many readers did, as certain pundits and politicians have — that uplift is the answer to police brutality is to miss the point. The issue here is not: What can black people do to improve themselves? Rather, it is: What can we do to stop cops from assaulting them for no reason?

We might begin with something as simple and self-evident as demanding police accountability. It

should tell you something that it took two grand juries to indict Webster, even though that video leaves no doubt of his guilt. It should also tell you something that he did this knowing the camera was on. Obviously, he didn’t fear any consequences. Why should he? America’s bizarre terror of black men is so epidemic that a police officer will often get the benefit of the doubt even when there is no doubt.

The “reasoning” goes something like this: If the cops beat you, they must have had a reason. And obviously you did something wrong or they wouldn’t have shot you.

In a nation where those naive assumptions are very common, who can be surprised that indictments and convictions of bad cops are very rare? In such a nation, the brazen misbehavior of a Cpl. Webster becomes not simply predictable, but inevitable. So it’s deeply frustrating that some of us believe police brutality can be fixed by African-American self-improvement.

You will never solve any problem you can’t even bring yourself to face.

day, Lawrence recorded another .56 inches of rainfall, putting the area’s monthly total at 5.27 inches. That’s well ahead of the 3.3 inches expected for Lawrence so far in May, the NWS said.

For 2015, Lawrence now has recorded 10.47 inches of precipitation. That’s still

about 2 inches off the expected mark of 12.41 inches so far this year.

Today’s forecast calls for a zero percent chance of showers, with a high of 67 degrees expected around 5:30 p.m. Thunderstorms could return Friday, the NWS said.

made for the robbery.

On Wednesday, jurors heard Patterson’s recorded confession to Lawrence police shortly after his arrest in Long Beach, Calif., less than a month after the robbery occurred. He and Kukuk had left the state after the crimes “because (he) was scared,” Patterson said in the recording.

Patterson told police that he stayed outside of the apartment during the robbery and did not take part in planning the robbery. He stated that he thought, “This is a bad idea,” before his codefendants entered the apartment.

Patterson also told investigators in the interview that he was OK with his friends committing the robbery but he was upset by the violence that occurred. He said when he heard residents inside crying from pain, he grew ill and left the area.

“I thought, ‘This was not the idea. They should not be screaming that bad,’” Patterson said.

“That shouldn’t have happened like that.”

District Judge Paula Martin told the jury that to be “criminally responsible” for a crime, a person must have intentionally aided another to commit a crime and that “all participants in a crime are equally responsible without regard to the extent of their participation. However, “mere association with (the perpetrators) or the

mere presence in the vicinity” of the crime does not constitute criminal responsibility.

However, Prosecutor Eve Kemple told jurors that they should find Patterson guilty of all counts because he “knowingly” aided and abetted the crimes.

“He heard conversations about ‘hitting a lick,’” Kemple said.

“Did he know it would be done with threat of bodily harm? Well, he knew Driskell had a gun and Cody had a chair leg. They all participated knowing that this was a potential outcome for their conduct.”

Patterson’s attorney, Adam Hall, said that his client should be found not guilty because Patterson was “a fifth wheel to these crimes.”

“Think of this as a heist movie. At what point did Gabe become an essential machine to these crimes?” Hall said. “Gabe did not instigate any of these crimes — he wasn’t even seen by any of the victims. He did not have a role in this heist movie.”

Jurors ultimately found Patterson guilty of all charges, except the aggravated battery.

Martin scheduled Patterson’s sentencing hearing for June 29, where Hall said that he would be presenting evidence and asking Martin to grant Patterson probation over prison time.

Patterson remains free on bond.

The codefendants and victims testified Tuesday that Johnson, Kukuk and Pence entered the residence, battered three men inside and took more than $1,000 in cash, about $1,000 worth of marijuana, an Xbox and several cellphones from the apartment. None of the residents sought medical attention, but three had bruising from beatings with Johnson’s handgun and a table leg Kukuk carried as a weapon.

Kindell testified that he and Patterson remained outside on the porch while the crimes occurred, but Pence testified that he remembered seeing Patterson cross the apartment’s threshold momentarily but not fully enter the home.

All of the witnesses, including the victims, testified that Patterson never directed any movements or took any action in the burglary itself. Kindell did testify, however, that Patterson was present when arrangements were being

From bin Laden’s bookshelf: Love letters, a study in vanity Spy agency releases seized papers

WASHINGTON The contents of Osama bin Laden’s “bookshelf” — the readings seized by SEAL Team 6 when it raided his compound and killed him in 2011 — were released Wednesday, including a love letter to his “beloved wife.”

Bin Laden had multiple wives, including two who were captured during Tom Vanden Brook the mission. His mash @tvandenbrook note from 2008 praises USA TODAY one wife who filled his heart “with love, beautiful memories.”

He gushed, “As for you, you are the apple of my eye, and the most precious thing that I have in this world.”

Elsewhere on the shelf, his reading list ranges from the expected (the Quran) to the eclectic (a Time article on America Online’s stock).

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence released the titles of a trove of documents online under the heading “Bin Laden’s Bookshelf.” The office, which oversees U.S. intelligence agencies, unveiled the contents of bin Laden’s library from his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, in an effort to increase “transparency.”

The release comes four years after the mission killed bin Laden and allowed commandos to seize letters, books and other intelligence on the al-Qaeda terrorism network he founded.

An interagency review determined that release of the documents and titles to others would not compromise efforts to combat the organization.

ANNE R. CAREY AND KARL GELLES, USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Iraqi forces regrouped outside Ramadi, as the Pentagon expressed confidence Wednesday that those troops can take the city back from Islamic State militants with U.S. help.

“It’s a setback but it’s one that we’re confident the Iraqis will recover from in the near term,” said Air Force Col. Pat Ryder, a spokesman for U.S. Central Command. He did not provide a timeframe.

The Pentagon had been slow to concede the fall of Ramadi, a major Sunni city captured by the militants last weekend. And critics remain unconvinced about its continued confidence in Iraq’s forces, saying the loss of Ramadi shows the U.S. strategy for combating the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS, is failing.

“Ramadi’s fall is a significant defeat and one that should lead our nation’s leaders to reconsider an indecisive policy and a total lack of strategy,” said Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain, R-Ariz.

McCain said the U.S. government has tried to diminish the importance of Ramadi’s loss to “save face.”

Across the Iraqi border in Syria, the Islamic State also was making headway. On Wednesday, militants had pushed back Syrian government forces and seized large parts of Palmyra, an ancient city with well-preserved Romanera ruins.

The militants have destroyed ancient artifacts elsewhere in the region.

The Pentagon said it is standing by its strategy in Iraq, which involves training and advising Iraq’s forces and attacking the militants with airstrikes. The advisers are barred from accompanying Iraq’s combat units in the field.

So far, the U.S. advisers have trained about 7,000 Iraqi troops, but none were in Ramadi, where the Iraqi forces abandoned their positions and U.S. equipment.

The United States has 3,000 troops in Iraq, including about 650 trainers and advisers. “We’re confident we have the right strategy at this time to degrade and defeat ISIL,” Ryder said, using an acronym for the militants.

Military analysts say rebuilding Iraq’s military is a major challenge because many soldiers have no confidence in their government or commanders.

David Letterman gets fitting sendoff Millions watch end of an era of late night TV Gary Levin USA TODAY

It was a warm welcome for David Letterman’s farewell Wednesday night, although four of five living presidents, seen on video as the show opened, expressed relief that “our long national nightmare is over.”

His retirement, after 33 years in late-night and 6,028 broadcasts, was a momentous event in

TV that only a few hundred witnessed in person but millions more will watch as the end of an era.

“It’s beginning to look like I’m not going to get the Tonight Show,” he joked as began his opening monologue after sustained applause.

He addressed questions about his future plans: “When people ask, ‘What are you going to do when you retire,’ he said, ‘My God, I’m going to be the new face of Scientology.” And he promised bandleader Paul Shaffer and he “will be debuting our Las Vegas act with white tigers.”

Letterman was somewhat emotional, but not teary, in his last show. He screened a tribute from The Simpsons, with Maggie playing with blocks that spelled “Worldwide Pants,” the name of his production company. And he showed a joke clip from Wheel of Fortune, in which the puzzle solution was, “Good riddance to David Letterman.”

He played a fan-favorite remote segment from 1996, when he worked the drive-through at a Taco Bell, and a montage that showed him interacting with kids.

And there was a clip of a day in the life of Letterman, echoing a

Don’t ignore signs of progress in Cuba Alan Gomez USA TODAY

MIAMI Cuban President Raúl Castro caused quite a stir at the Vatican this month when the communist leader said he was so impressed by Pope Francis that he was considering returning to the Catholic Church.

In Cuban-American corners of the USA, many responded with the same level of cynicism that accompanies any hint at political liberalization from Castro.

It was the same level of suspicion that constantly hovered over his now-retired brother, Fidel, anytime he cracked the door open to greater freedom on the island.

But let’s consider the possibility that maybe, just maybe, Raúl Castro is truly changing.

Just writing that sentence is going to get me in trouble. Some Cubans who fled the Castro regime will call me naive, arguing that he is doing what he needs to do to maintain his tyrannical rule over the island. Some Cubans who have remained will say they continue living in poverty with little hope of improvement.

Heck, I’m worried what my own relatives are going to scream at me next time I see them.

I understand why they refuse to trust the Castro brothers. My parents were forced to flee Cuba in the early years of the Castros’ revolution, stripped of their homes, their clothes, just about everything.

I never met my grandfather because he spent 30 years as a political prisoner, losing a foot in the prison’s squalor and eventually his life. I can’t have a conversation with my relatives who remain on the island without learning about some new injustice, some new roadblock to bettering their lives.

Still, when I look at what’s happened on the island since Raúl Castro took over for his ail-

Pope Francis meets with Cuban President Raúl Castro at the Vatican on May 10. ing brother in 2006, I can’t help but see a sliver of hope.

It was Raúl, after all, who first allowed Cubans to own microwaves, cellphones and computers, no small feat in a country where those items had long been restricted. It was Raúl who started breaking down the basic communist concept of communal property, allowing Cubans to own homes, to buy and sell cars, to operate a Cuban version of eBay. He eliminated the despised exit visa every Cuban had to get from the government before traveling abroad.

Fidel spent years defending the state-run, centrally planned economy, but Raúl has started changing that, too. There are 500,000 private entrepreneurs working on their own, paying taxes and hiring employees.

Political persecution remains, and the government continues imprisoning dissidents who speak out against the regime.

But there is a burgeoning class of independent writers and jour-

nalists who are openly expressing their views of the government without constant trips to their nearest jail.

Fidel would spend hours talking about the injustices rained upon his island by the Yankee imperialists to the north. Although Raúl regularly echoes those sentiments, he has shaken President Obama’s hand twice, agreed to re-establish diplomatic relations with the United States and released two American pris-

reports on al-Qaeda, Iraq and Afghanistan.

The terrorist leader had a shelf dedicated to non-fiction books with a flavor for current events, such as Obama’s Wars by Bob Woodward and a how-to guide on guerrilla air defense. He collected articles and magazines, including Businessweek, Time, Newsweek and U.S. News & World Report.

Also a copy of Popular Science’s “Best Innovations of the Year Issue” from December 2010.

A wealth of correspondence was scooped up in the raid.

Among it is a letter written in April 2011, weeks before bin Laden was shot in the head by a Navy SEAL. His body was later dropped into a sea.

Bin Laden wrote about developments in the Arab Spring and delighted in the “fall of the tyrants” in Egypt and Tunisia.

“We are doing well, and recently, things have been calmer,” bin Laden wrote to an unnamed sheik. “The brothers are more

IN BRIEF NETANYAHU STOPS ISRAEL BUS SEGREGATION TRIAL

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday called off plans that would have effectively segregated Palestinians and Israelis on buses in the West Bank.

Israel’s defense ministry launched a three-month pilot Wednesday morning, but Netanyahu later called Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon and said it was “unacceptable,” various media reported.

The trial was launched following claims by Jewish bus users that Palestinian workers were a security threat and harassed female Jewish passengers, the Associated Press reported.

oners as part of the historic deal.

The two sides are closing in on an agreement to reopen full embassies in Washington and Havana, each country’s flag flying out front.

Raúl has even opened the door to the island’s long-dormant religious sector. For decades, you had to practice your religion quietly. The government has allowed for the construction of the first church in decades, Raúl has had his visit with Pope Francis, and the pope is scheduled to visit the island in September.

None of that changes the fact that Cuba remains an insular government controlled by a tiny elite. The idea of free and fair elections is impossible in a country where only one political party — the Communist Party — is allowed. The country still employs Committees for the Defense of the Revolution, people living on each block whose sole job is to watch, and report on, what their neighbors are doing.

There is no semblance of a fair judicial system, the vast majority of people still have to rely on the government for work and sustenance, and Cubans simply cannot band together and effect change on their government.

But when you consider that the United States works with foreign leaders who have equally brutal records on a daily basis, I don’t understand why we so often view the Castros in pure black and white. We focus on their selfish intentions but ignore how their recent actions are actually changing the lives of the people of Cuba.

I’m not saying we should submit Raúl Castro’s name for a Nobel Peace Prize. I just think that as the debate over our relationship with Cuba heats up and we approach full diplomatic status, it’s time to take an objective look at the changes he’s making on the island and welcome them.

careful and keeping low profile.”

These documents and others recently released indicate that bin Laden still held his goal of attacking the United States and maintaining control of his terror organization, said Daniel Benjamin, a scholar at Dartmouth College and former coordinator for counterterrorism at the State Department.

“He was still very much focused on the notion of driving the U.S. out of the Middle East and broader Muslim world through a catastrophic attack,” Benjamin said. “He kept telling people to attack US embassies.”

His reading list betrays an interest in foreign affairs but also ego, in that he chose a number publications that named him.

“He was an international affairs wonk of sorts,” Benjamin said. “He was looking for strategic insights to be gained in what people in the West saw of him.

There’s also an element of some vanity.”

WORLD’S OLDEST STONE TOOLS DISCOVERED IN AFRICA

A policeman flees from rocks thrown by protesters during a demonstration in the Musaga neighborhood of Bujumbura, Burundi, on Wednesday. The protesters are opposed to President Pierre Nkurunziza’s third term.

The oldest stone tools on record — dating 3.3 million years — have been discovered in Kenya, scientists announced Wednesday. “(This) marks a new beginning to the known archaeological record,” according to the study, which appeared in the British

journal Nature.

The discovery of the tools, some 149 of them near Lake Turkana in northern Kenya, pushes the known date of such implements back by 700,000 years.

They were created by “proto-

humans,” long before the advent of modern humans, and are by far the oldest such artifacts yet discovered anywhere on Earth, according to the study.

The launch appeared to be off to a good start as the 206-foot rocket’s first stage burned out and separated, and a fairing protecting the Air Force’s unmanned X-37B mini-shuttle that will cruise in a low Earth orbit fell away.

A launch broadcast was blacked out about five minutes into the flight because of the secrecy surrounding the fourth X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle mission, which is said to be supporting national defense.

The last mission stayed in orbit for nearly two years before landing autonomously on a runway in California.

Gyrocopter pilot basking in notoriety Florida man indicted on 2 felonies, 4 other counts in DC flight Fredreka Schouten @fschouten USA TODAY

Doug Hughes, the Florida postal worker who landed a gyrocopter on the U.S. Capitol grounds last month and set off alarms about airspace security, made a lower-key return to the nation’s capital Wednesday.

He arrived by car, wearing a GPS-empowered ankle bracelet that transmits his every move to federal authorities. He’s no less passionate, however, about the cause that could cost him his job and freedom — overhauling the nation’s campaign-finance system and ending what he sees as the WASHINGTON

rampant corruption on Capitol Hill.

“Overall, Congress is in it for the money,” Hughes said during an interview en route to Washington, where he’s scheduled to be in court Thursday. “They are in it for themselves. They are doing what special interests tell them to do, and we’ve been cut out of the political process.

“But we are the political body that has power over Congress, and we can bring this thing back.”

Late Wednesday, federal prosecutors announced a six-count grand jury indictment against Hughes, 61. He was charged with two felonies — operating an aircraft without a license and flying an unregistered aircraft. He also was indicted on three misdemeanor counts of violating national defense airspace and one count of improperly putting the U.S. Postal Service logo on his gy-

He faces up to three years in prison on each of the felony counts and up to a year on the charges of violating the no-fly zone in Washington.

Hughes has become a celebrity, particularly among activists laboring to reduce the influence of big money in U.S. elections.

Hundreds have sent letters and emails to him since he landed his

tiny aircraft on the West Front of the Capitol on April 15. During his brief visit, he’s staying at the Capitol Hill home of the co-founder of the anti-war group Code Pink. He recently wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post, expressing “disgust” for the unlimited money swamping U.S. elections. A PR firm, ReThink Media, is providing pro-bono help to promote his activities.

Hughes is using the notoriety from his stunt to highlight what he views as solutions, ranging

HISTORY

from measures to replace big campaign contributions with taxpayer financing to a proposal that would require federal contractors to disclose their political spending.

Hughes alerted The Tampa Bay Times of his plans before driving the craft to a small airport in Gettysburg, Pa., and flying his solo mission to Washington. He buzzed low over the National Mall and landed, carrying 535 letters about campaign-finance reform that he intended to deliver to all 535 members of Congress.

He was immediately arrested.

Hughes said he’ll “never do anything like this again.” For starters, he suspects he will be barred from every piloting any kind of aircraft again.

He hopes to strike a plea deal with the feds.

“Was it worth it? Absolutely,” he said.

INSIDE NIXON’S INTERNAL WAR Newly released papers show military thought president caved in to Japan

“I must emphasize that the price we would pay for Okinawa, even after a settlement of the Vietnam war, would be extremely heavy.”

Army Col. Alexander Haig

Ray Locker @rlocker12 USA TODAY

The military’s top officers believed President Nixon was risking national security and caving in to political pressure when he decided in 1969 to push for the return of control over the island of Okinawa to Japan, documents released Wednesday by the National Archives show.

“While there may be a political necessity of settling the Okinawa problem as quickly as possible, the US government, in its desire to attain an early and amicable solution of this issue, should recognize fully the adverse consequences of Okinawa’s reversion under conditions which fail to provide adequate safeguards for our military requirements,” wrote Gen. Earle Wheeler, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in a March 29, 1969, memorandum to Defense Secretary Melvin Laird.

Even at this early stage in his presidency, Nixon was bedeviled by leaks. One day after Wheeler’s memo was sent to Laird, details of it were included in a New York Times report about Okinawa’s status and Nixon’s plans.

U.S. forces captured Okinawa in 1945 after an 82-day battle that saw more than 12,500 American troops killed or missing. The fierce fighting on Okinawa was

one consideration used by President Truman when he decided to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki instead of launching a U.S. invasion of the home islands of Japan.

By 1969, however, pressure was building inside Okinawa for the United States to turn the island over to Japanese control. Japanese Prime Minister Eisaku Sato was pushing for the reversion, and Nixon wanted to maintain close relations with Sato.

Wheeler’s memo showed the military believed Okinawa provided advantages for U.S. forces that other bases did not, such as the ability to locate nuclear weapons there.

“Okinawa remains the most important US military base system in the western Pacific,” Wheeler wrote, “providing a number of installations performing a wide variety of major military functions. … Without the continued unrestricted use of Okinawan bases, it is doubtful that US military forces could meet the essential requirements of the US strategy for the Pacific in the foreseeable future.”

Inside the White House, Army Col. Alexander Haig, then a top aide to National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger, echoed some of the military’s concerns about Okinawa in an April 2, 1969, memorandum to Kissinger also released Wednesday. “I must emphasize that the price we would

AIR FORCE MAGAZINE

pay for (redacted) Okinawa, even after a settlement of the Vietnam war, would be extremely heavy.”

Haig’s memo also mentioned differences he had with fellow NSC staff member Richard Sneider on Okinawa, saying a Sneider suggestion “was more forthcoming than we need be in our initial dealings with the Japanese.”

Nixon moved ahead with plans to bar nuclear weapons from Okinawa as part of the reversion policy. A June 3 New York Times article reported that in another leak that angered Nixon.

Nixon’s anger over leaks, primarily one about the bombing of Cambodia that was not revealed to the American public, led him to authorize on May 9, 1969, a series of secret wiretaps by the FBI on government officials and journalists. The first four wiretaps were on NSC aides Morton Halperin, a key Kissinger deputy, Daniel Davidson, and Helmut Sonnenfeldt and Air Force Col. Robert Pursley, Laird’s aide.

A wiretap of the telephone of Sneider, who later become ambassador to South Korea, was started May 20.

The wiretaps, which were revealed for the first time in February 1973, were part of what became the second article of the planned impeachment of Nixon.

He resigned Aug. 9, 1974, before the House of Representatives voted to impeach him.

SWITZERLAND

On any given day, this laid-back Swiss village is abuzz with activity. Tourists arrive by busloads to see a simple stone cross that marks the final resting place of one of the world’s most famous actresses, Audrey Hepburn.

Hepburn, who would have turned 86 this month, spent her last 30 years here. But 22 years after she died of cancer, the memory of an old conflict lingers.

Several years after Hepburn’s death, a dispute arose between some residents and the screen legend’s two sons, Sean Ferrer and Luca Dotti. At its center was an old two-room schoolhouse that villagers converted into a small museum dedicated to Hepburn’s work as an actress and UNICEF ambassador.

The sons donated some of their mother’s belongings — her Academy Award for Roman Holiday, photographs, original film posters — with the understanding they would be on loan for only five years. When the time came to give the items, back, villagers became angry because they realized that without these exhibits the museum would have to close.

The sons also objected to what they saw as over-commercialization of their mother’s memory, such as the sale at the museum of “Audrey Hepburn chocolates” or lavender from her garden.

The villagers countered that all the proceeds from the sales were donated to various children’s charities of which Hepburn herself would have approved.

The museum did close, amid much bitterness, in 2002. Villagers divided into two camps: those supporting the sons and others who thought Ferrer and Dotti acted unfairly.

There is a third camp — those who believe that, for Hepburn’s sake, old resentments should be put to rest. So a decade after the museum’s closing, residents gathered to dedicate a small sculpture of the actress, a gift from her sons that was unveiled by Dotti.

The conflict still comes up in conversations here, but mostly it’s about the warm memories of Hepburn that form her legacy in the village she had called “home.”

Many mourn death of ‘Surfer Dude’ Jennifer Cording

(Salisbury, Md.) Daily Times ISLAND, VA .

Surfer Dude, the most famous Chincoteague pony since Misty, was found dead last week, according to the island’s fire company.

Volunteer Saltwater Cowboys found the remains of 23year-old Surfer Dude in a clearing on the south end of Assateague Island, the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Co. said last week on its Facebook page.

“He’s like the Misty of our generation. That’s all I’ve ever known. It hurt my heart,” said Denise Bowden, an island native and fire company member for 28 years.

In the 48 hours following the announcement, the fire company’s page had more than 51,000 page views, said Bowden, also the fire company’s public relations chairwoman.

The chocolate-colored stallion with the flaxen mane and tail — a striking color combination that earned the pony his name — hadn’t been seen since February, she said. Volunteer firefighters had been searching for him since then.

“I know personally that I was praying and hoping for a good outcome that he would show up, but it wasn’t to be,” Bowden said Monday.

The administration’s website allows car owners to look up their automobile by make and model to see if it’s part of a recall. However, the service was so slow Wednesday after 33.8 million air bags were recalled by the Japanese manufacturer Takata that the agency posted a warning on its site.

As many as 1.1 million Washington, D.C., BlueCross BlueShield members may have had their information accessed in a cyber breach that occurred in June of 2014.

CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield announced Wednesday it had been the target of a “sophisticated cyberattack,” the company said in a release.

Kevin McCoy and Kevin Johnson USA TODAY

Five major banks Wednesday agreed to plead guilty to criminal charges and pay more than $5.4 billion in collective penalties to settle charges their traders routinely manipulated the world’s foreign-exchange market for their own profit.

The Department of Justice, the Federal Reserve and other U.S. and European authorities and regulators said corporate units of Citicorp (C), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), London-based Barclays(BCS) and Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) acknowledged their traders rigged foreign exchange prices of U.S. dollars and euros from December 2007 to January 2013.

Outlining what she termed a “brazen display of collusion,” U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said investigators found that traders in the nearly unregulated, $5.3-trillion-a-day foreign-exchange market colluded in youscratch-my-back-and-I’llscratch-yours forms of plotting.

The $2.5 billion in criminal fines levied as part of the resolutions represent the largest federal antitrust penalties ever obtained

by U.S. authorities, she said.

“Starting as early as December 2007, currency traders at several multinational banks formed a group dubbed ‘The Cartel,’ ” Lynch said. “It is perhaps fitting that those traders chose that name, as it aptly describes the brazenly illegal behavior they were engaging in on a near-daily basis.”

Lynch said prices the market sets for currencies “influence virtually every sector of every economy in the world.” The traders’ actions “inflated the banks’ profits while harming countless consumers, investors and institutions around the globe — from pension funds to major corporations, and including the banks’ own customers,” she said.

Euro-U.S. dollar traders at Citicorp, JPMorgan, Barclays and RBS — self-described members of the cartel — used an exclusive electronic chat room and coded language to manipulate benchmark exchange rates of the two currencies in ways that benefited their own trading positions, prosecutors said.

“By agreeing not to buy or sell at certain times, the traders protected each other’s trading positions by withholding supply of or demand for currency and suppressing competition in the FX market,” the Department of Justice said.

One chat room exchange showed that a Barclays foreign exchange trader appeared to be desperate to join The Cartel and reap the benefit of its trading advantages in 2011.

The attackers could have potentially acquired members’ names, birth dates, email addresses and subscriber identification numbers.

However, CareFirst said its user names must be used in conjunction with a member-created password to gain access to underlying member data on the website.

The database that was breached did not include these passwords, which were encrypted and stored in a separate system as a safeguard against such attacks.

WHO WILL PAY WHAT PENALTIES Five banks will pay out more than $5.4 billion in fines following a settlement agreement this week. Here’s how it breaks down: Barclays Citigroup JPMorgan UBS RBS DOJ $710M $925M $550M $395M Federal Reserve $342M $342M $342M $342M $274M N.Y. Dept. Financial $485M Services Commodity Futures $400M Trading Commission Financial Conduct $441.4M Authority Totals $2.38B $1.27B $892M $342M $669M NOTES THE CONNECTICUT BANKING DEPARTMENT WAS ALSO INVOLVED IN UBS’ FOREIGN-EXCHANGE SETTLEMENT. UBS ALSO PAID A $203 MILLION FINE TO DOJ FOR VIOLATING ITS 2012 SETTLEMENT OF ALLEGATIONS OVER LIBOR RATE MANIPULATION. SOURCES BANK ANNOUNCEMENTS, FEDERAL PROSECUTORS, GOVERNMENT REGULATORS

After extensive discussion of whether or not this trader “would add value” to the group, the group’s trading members invited him to join for a “1 month trial,” but warned: “mess this up and sleep with one eye open at night.”

Transcripts of other exchanges cited a Barclays employee who said “if you aint cheating, you aint trying,” as well as a Barclays foreign-exchange trader who reportedly said, “[Y]es, the less competition the better.”

UBS (UBS) also acknowledged involvement in the rate-rigging.

However, the Swiss banking giant received conditional immunity from criminal prosecution because it was the first to report foreign-exchange misconduct to

DOJ investigators. The bank said it provided “full cooperation” to federal prosecutors and other authorities around the world.

That leniency came with a high price. Making good on threats to deal harshly with banks accused as repeat offenders, federal investigators said the bank violated terms of the 2012 non-prosecution agreement that had settled UBS’ involvement in rigging the London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor). The financial benchmark is used to set rates on trillions of dollars in mortgages, loans and credit cards.

As a result, UBS agreed to plead guilty to one count of wire fraud, pay a $203 million fine and accept a three-year term of pro-

bation for Libor rate manipulation by its traders. UBS also agreed to pay $342 million to the Federal Reserve and make remedial changes to its foreign-exchange business practices.

No individual bank employees were hit with criminal charges as part of the settlements, though several authorities said investigations into foreign-exchange issues are continuing.

The criminal settlements mark the latest result from a global crackdown on systematic manipulation of financial benchmarks by bank traders.

In all, the five banks have now paid nearly $9 billion in total criminal and civil fines and penalties for rigging the foreign-exchange spot market, Department of Justice officials said.

Bank officials took responsibility for the illegal activity, terminating dozens of traders as investigators around the world probed foreign exchange practices.

“The behavior that resulted in the settlements we announced today is an embarrassment to our firm, and stands in stark contrast to Citi’s values,” said Citigroup CEO Michael Corbat.

Citi also announced that it has agreed to a separate $394 million settlement of a private class-action lawsuit related to the foreign-exchange activity. The settlement is subject to court approval.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon called the investigation findings “a great disappointment to us” and said “we demand and expect better of our people.”

“The lesson here is that the conduct of a small group of employees, or of even a single employee, can reflect badly on all of us and have significant ramifications for the entire firm,” Dimon said.

In Zurich, UBS Chairman Axel Weber and CEO Sergio Ermotti said the Swiss bank has taken “appropriate disciplinary actions” against a small number of employees involved in “unacceptable” behavior.

Barclays CEO Antony Jenkins said he shared the frustration of shareholders and colleagues “that some individuals have once more brought our company and industry into disrepute.”

“Dealing with these issues, including taking the appropriate disciplinary action against the individuals involved, is a necessary and important part of our plan to transform Barclays and remains a key priority,” said Jenkins.

Eight additional Barclays employees who participated in the wrongdoing are being terminated, said Benjamin Lawsky, the superintendent of New York’s Department of Financial Services, the regulator that oversees the bank’s U.S. operations.

Computer donation heads for 2 protest sites Baltimore, Ferguson to get $170K in tech Jessica Guynn USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO Public libraries that provided a quiet refuge from civil unrest in Ferguson, Mo., and Baltimore are about to receive a small bounty from Silicon Valley.

Venture capitalist Marc Andreessen and his wife, philanthropist and educator Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen, have teamed up with Hewlett-Packard

to donate nearly $170,000 worth of computers, printers and other equipment.

The couple says they were moved by the “individual acts of heroism” of library staffers who kept the doors open to the public even as protests raged over police brutality and the deaths of young black men.

“Libraries became in essence the heart of Ferguson and Baltimore amidst a time of immense darkness for so many,” ArrillagaAndreessen told USA TODAY in an exclusive interview.

The donation is part of a growing effort to address

the digital divide that persists throughout the rest of the country, especially in poor or underserved neighborhoods.

Cheap smartGETTY IMAGES phones and tabAndreessen lets have put the Internet in more hands than ever before, but access remains out of reach for many, with 21% of American households reporting no Internet access at all, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. For some, Internet connectivity is too

expensive and in some rural areas, it isn’t available at all.

Plugging the gap are public libraries, which are the No. 1 way people without the Internet at home, school or work access it for free. These range from high school students cramming for a test to job seekers filling out online applications.

“It’s the bridge between the haves and the have nots in digital society,” said Scott Bonner, director of Ferguson Municipal Public Library.

Yet, libraries struggling with budget cuts have been forced to slash services and make do with

aging, outdated equipment even as they reinvent themselves as digital hubs that help people survive in the 21st-century economy.

Andreessen, who is on the board of Hewlett-Packard, came up with the idea to tap a program for executives and directors to donate technology to non-profits and educational organizations.

Arrillaga-Andreessen says she and her husband each have deep personal connections to public libraries.

“Libraries were a safe haven and provided access to another world as we were growing up,” she said.

Analysts: Sky is not yet falling for airline stocks Q: Is the airline rally over?

Matt Krantz

@mattkrantz mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Airline stocks have been among the biggest winners coming out of the recession. But now the “C” word — capacity —threatens to end the high-flying rally.

It’s been a perfect environment for airlines. Demand for air travel is strong, while capacity has been constrained, which means fewer empty seats and strong fares. Airlines got a second bonus the past year as oil and fuel costs have fallen precipitously. Airline stocks had been soaring — until this year. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Airlines Index is up 171% over the past five years, making it a standout even amid a bull market. The S&P 500 itself is up about 99% during the same period.

But there are concerns this perfect environment could end as airlines inevitability look to boost capacity. Southwest Airlines is planning to boost capacity by at least 5% in 2015, according to Reuters.

When it comes to words airline investors can’t stand, “adding capacity” is top of mind. There’s a fear other airlines will follow suit, a move that is great for fliers (more empty middle seats) but terrible for pricing power in the airline industry.

Analysts don’t think the sky is falling for airlines — yet. Southwest’s adjusted profit is expected to rise 3.4% in 2016.

That’s nowhere near this year’s expected 75% growth, but it’s not a contraction, either.

Target exceeds its revenue, earnings expectations Target (TGT) reported a solid first quarter Wednesday as the effects of its turnaround plan under CEO Brian Cornell start to take hold.

Target reported earnings of $635 million, up more than 50% from the same period last year.

The company earned 98 cents a share, with adjusted earnings of $1.10 a share. Analysts expected $1.03 a share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. Target shares were up 1% in af-

Target’s Lily Pulitzer collection created a blowout at stores when it made its debut last month.

While it didn’t make a huge impact on the company’s financials, “things like the Lily event create all the frosting on everything else we do,” Chief Financial Officer John Mulligan said on a call with media.

Target has been undergoing a transformation since Cornell came to the company last summer. The retailer has pulled out

of its botched Canadian expansion, invested more in priority categories, and created a more tailored strategy around organic and natural food.

“I think we’re really starting to see the benefit of focusing on our U.S. business,” Mulligan said.

He added that customers can expect to see more changes in the way stores approach fresh food by 2016. The food category grew in the first quarter but not as much as the rest of the business, he said. Last month, Target hired Anne Dament, a Safeway executive, to lead the company’s food strategy.

Miles Scott captured billions of hearts on Nov. 15, 2013, when the 5-year-old, in remission from leukemia, donned his Batkid suit to save San Francisco.

More than 25,000 people crowded the streets to take part in Miles’ Make-A-Wish dream to be his favorite superhero. An estimated 2 billion people followed Scott’s heroics on social media.

President Obama congratulated Scott for his crime-fighting with a Vine message.

Now the pint-sized superhero is hitting the big screen in Batkid Begins. The documentary opens June 26 in select cities before expanding nationwide through July.

This time, Batkid’s fans are getting the whole story.

Miles, who was diagnosed with leukemia at 18 months, grew up on his family’s farm in Tulelake, Calif., loving the Adam West Batman TV series like his dad did.

When the child neared the end of his treatment, his parents,

Nick and Natalie Scott, approached Make-A-Wish and asked if the foundation could make their son “the real Batman.”

“Because he’s my favorite superhero,” Miles says in the film.

Organizers hoped 200 people

would show up. But the response was so great that police were forced to make the journey a parade route as Miles zipped from location to location — saving a damsel in distress, stopping the Riddler and capturing the Penguin at AT&T Park.

At the day’s end, he received the keys to the city from grateful San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee. “It’s very surreal, for everyone involved,” Nachman says. “(His parents) are amazed and humbled that people would come out just to make their son happy.”

Miles, now 6 and cancer-free, plays Little League and remains confident that he saved the city.

“He is very matter-of-fact about it. ‘I went to San Francisco and I stopped the Riddler,’ ” Nachman says. “He’s still very much in the part when he discusses it.”

Julia Roberts plans to produce and star in a movie based on Batkid Begins, keeping the feel-good memory alive.

“When I screen it now, people are always smiling and laughing,” Nachman says. “I hope to take the amazing feeling of that day and have it live on forever.”

Kansas basketball awarded academic recognition

By Gary Bedore Twitter: @GaryBedore

Basketball notes. ...

Kansas University’s men’s basketball team has earned its eighth-straight NCAA Academic Performance Program (APP) Public Recognition Award, KU and the NCAA announced Wednesday.

KU was one of 39 teams to be recognized for achieving Academic Progress Rate (APR) success in the top 10 percent of all NCAA Division One men’s hoops programs.

Six other Div. One programs have as many NCAA APP Public Recognition Awards. The total is just short of the combined total number of recognitions by other Big 12 members (10) over the last 10 years. KU and Texas (7) — who each received recognition Wednesday — combine for 15 of current Big 12 members’ 18 total APR honors in men’s basketball, with West Virginia (2) and Baylor (1) also earning honors in years past.

The APR, according to a KU release, provides a realtime look at a team’s academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each studentathlete on scholarship. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation, providing a measure of each team’s academic performance. The most recent multi-year APRs are based on scores from the 2010-11, 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-14 academic years.

APRs for all teams, including access to postseason play and penalties for low-performing teams, will be released May 27. Kansas is the only Big 12 school to receive an NCAA Public Recognition Award in each of the 10 years of the program. The Jayhawks have had a total of 25 teams honored with Public Recognition Awards (for multi-year academic success).

The four-year APR scores of all of KU’s 18 sports programs are expected to be well above the requisite score of 930 established by the NCAA for good standing, KU officials indicated Wednesday. l Aldrich a free agent: Former KU center Cole Aldrich, 26, is a free agent this offseason. It’s good timing for the 6-foot-11, 245-pound Bloomington, Minnesota native as he’s coming off his best of five campaigns in the NBA. Aldrich averaged 5.5 points (off 47.8 percent shooting; 78.1 percent free throwing) and 5.5 rebounds a game in 61 games for the New York Knicks.

Aldrich, who played a career-best 16.0 minutes per game and started 16 games, had 24 points off 11 of 16 shooting and 15 rebounds in the season-finale against Detroit.

Other big games: 12 points, 19 rebounds vs. Portland; 19 points, 14 boards vs. Orlando; 17 points, 13 boards vs.

Utah; 11 points, 14 boards vs.

Detroit; 18 points, 7 boards vs. Sacramento; 13 points, 10 boards vs. Chicago.

Lions fall one win short of state tourney

By Bobby Nightengale Twitter: @nightengalejr

Olathe — Lawrence High’s softball team has struggled at preventing big innings from popping up every few games. There was no stopping the big innings against Olathe North on Wednesday night in the regional championship.

One game short of a trip to the Class 6A state tournament, the Lions were routed in a 14-3 loss at the Olathe District Activity Complex.

They advanced to the regional finals after a 5-4 victory over Washburn Rural earlier in the afternoon.

The Lions, who lost three

times to the Eagles this season, sent out three different pitchers in the first three innings, but none of them could stop the middle of Olathe North’s lineup. The Lions didn’t help themselves, issuing 10 walks and hitting three batters.

“That hurts,” LHS coach Joe Dee Tarbutton said. “You knew our goal and that’s where we wanted to be, but we were one game short.”

With the extra free passes, the Eagles (18-4) made the Lions pay with a few big hits. Following three straight walks in the second inning, O-North’s sophomore first baseman Alexis Hodapp hit a grand slam. Hodapp, the

cleanup hitter, went 4-for-4 with seven RBIs and three runs.

“Their whole lineup is amazing but that three- and four-hole (Maddie McCracken and Hodapp) — I mean it’s almost scary how good they are,” LHS junior shortstop Sophie Taylor said.

The Lions (12-10) struggled to do much on offense against O-North starter Halle Brin. LHS senior Jolona Shield smashed a home run over the fence in right-center in the first inning, but the Lions were held to just five hits in five innings.

Sophomore Annie Grammer added a run in the second inning, drawing a walk,

moving to third on a single by junior Brook Sumonja, and scoring on a bad throw from the catcher to the pitcher following a pitch. Junior Sami Mills also scored in the fifth inning, drilling a leadoff double and scoring on a wild pitch.

“It’s so tough,” senior third baseman Morgan Byrn said.

“It’s definitely hard going down that quick. Last time we played them, we hit them hard. I felt like we had some hits, they just went right to them. It’s just really hard knowing you can hang with them and we didn’t.”

Taylor added: “It’s just Please see SOFTBALL, page 9C

Something about the slow pace of baseball makes everybody feel as if they know everything there is to know about the sport. Yet, the reality that baseball games are like fingerprints in that no two are alike ought to make everybody realize that the game that is so difficult to master is full of nuances and therefore only those who have played it well and for a long time can teach it.

By the time Captain Pat Karlin of the Lawrence Fire Department began coaching youth baseball to 8-yearold boys, he had completed a successful career playing for Kansas University and had been an assistant coach for four years at Free State High.

The credibility that comes with that made for nice fodder in staving off interference from dads.

Karlin, one of Lawrence’s many dedicated, talented youth baseball coaches, has the humility not to boast about his baseball background, but also is smart enough to bring it up if he thinks it will make for a better learning environment for his players.

“I think early on it gives the parents confidence in you,” Karlin said. “It’s easier for them to buy in. I would let them know about it and emphasize it when I thought I needed to because parents sometimes have a tendency to coach from the stands: ‘Keep your elbow up!’ We had a parent-player agreement that said you have confidence in me and when you drop them off at the park, they are my responsibility. No coaching from the stands.”

Karlin held up his end of the bargain by developing Please see BASEBALL, page 9C

Sporting KC topples New England, 4-2

BOSTON RED SOX

BALTIMORE ORIOLES

Kansas City, Kan. — Krisztian Nemeth scored his second goal 22 seconds into the second half, and Sporting Kansas City beat the New England Revolution, 4-2, on Wednesday night.

Sporting KC (4-2-5) had not played since May 9 because its match against Colorado was postponed last weekend.

New England (5-3-4) had its nine-game undefeated streak snapped.

The game swung when Sporting KC scored three first-half goals in 14 minutes.

Dominic Dwyer tied it at 1 in the 29th minute by rolling in a left-footed shot after settling a cross with his chest. Nemeth’s glancing header of Benny Feilhaber’s free kick gave Sporting KC a 2-1 lead in the 39th. Four minutes later, Feilhaber converted a penalty kick after New England was whistled for a questionable foul in the penalty area.

Nemeth made it 4-1 in the opening minute of the second half. Jacob Peterson hustled to win a ball deep in New England territory and fed a cross to an unmarked Nemeth.

New England scored the first and last goals of the game. Juan Agudelo beat two defenders and sent a shot past the oncoming goalkeeper in the 11th minute. Scott Caldwell angled home Charlie Davies’ back-pass in the 64th.

Lions face tough test at regional baseball

By Bobby Nightengale Twitter: @nightengalejr

Lawrence High baseball players don’t care what their record is.

They’re ready to prove they still have the talent to earn a spot in the Class 6A state tournament.

The seventh-seeded Lions will face secondseeded Washburn Rural in the first round of regionals at 4 p.m. today at Hummer Sports Park in Topeka. The winner advances to play No. 3 Junction City (10-10) or No. 6 Topeka (7-13) at 6 p.m.

“We’re really excited.

We haven’t been back (to state) for three years now,” senior Michael Sinks said. “Just anxious to get there. We haven’t met expectations the last two years so we’re going to meet them this year.”

The Lions (7-13) have lost eight games this season by two runs or less.

Attempting to change their fortune in close games, they put in extra work on defense during practice this week working to eliminate errors and giving opposing teams extra outs.

“Even though we think there’s some room for improvement, we think that we are starting to click a little bit, swinging the bats well and pitching well,” LHS coach Brad Stoll said. “If we can just play some good defense, I think we’ve got a shot to get in the state tournament.”

LHS is expecting to face Washburn Rural (13-5) senior right-hander Blake Peterson in the opening game. Peterson, a quarterback who signed with Texas State to play college football, used to play summer youth baseball in Lawrence.

“We were best friends when we were on the (Kansas City) Rebels,” said Sinks, who played with Peterson until they were 14 years old. “We were just buddies, always messing with each other and always competing against each other. So it’s fun to actually be able to do it on different teams this time.”

Stoll added of Peterson: “I watched him shut down Olathe East in the state tournament. He’s had some really good wins for Washburn Rural. It’s certainly no easy task. We just have to control what we can control: swing at good pitches, not chase breaking balls out of the zone. Stay disciplined at the plate and I think we’ve got a chance.”

The Lions are confident in their pitching to keep up with Peterson.

They just know they need to find ways to win in close games.

“We just need to be tougher,” Sinks said.

“We’ve been playing really well lately, even though we’ve lost the last two out of three. We still believe that we are the toughest team going in.”

BRIEFLY Kansas golfer tapped all-region Kansas University women’s golfer Yupaporn Kawinpakorn has been named to the Women’s Golf Coaches Association all-region team.

Kawinpakorn, a junior from Thailand, played as an individual at the San Antonio Regional and tied for 10th in the 96-golfer field with a three-round score of 3-under 213 at Brigg Ranch Golf Course.

She missed advancing to the NCAA championships by one stroke.

KANSAS CITY CENTER FIELDER LORENZO CAIN catches a fly ball hit by Cincinnati’s Jay Bruce on Wednesday night at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.

Royals sweep two-game set Royals 7, Reds 1 Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The Kansas City Royals are off to the best start in franchise history.

Jeremy Guthrie pitched six shutout innings and the Royals beat the Cincinnati Reds 7-1 on Wednesday night.

The Royals, who won for the fifth time in six games, improved to 26-14, the franchise’s best record after 40 games.

“It’s surprising,” Guthrie said. “All the great teams they had here in the ‘70s and ‘80s to not have a faster start than that.

It speaks highly of this team.”

The Royals made the playoffs last year for the first time since 1985, but lost to the San Francisco Giants in Game 7 of the World Series.

“You could tell in spring training everyone was locked in to get back,” said Eric Hosmer, who doubled and scored a run. “We’re a team on a mission. We’re trying to get back to what we fell short of last year.

This is a great start for us.”

The Royals continue to build off last season, when they won 100 games, including 11 postseason victories.

“There is a real strong feeling when they walk through those clubhouse doors, they are going to win the baseball game that day,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “It’s a great feeling to have.”

The Royals tied a club record with 24 consecutive scoreless innings, which was set June 9-12, 1976. That streak ended in the seventh when Brandon Phillips’ two-out double off reliever Ryan Madson scored Zack Cozart.

The Reds lost their fifth straight, a season high.

Guthrie (4-2) pitched out of a bases-loaded, one-out predicament in the first inning and won his third straight start. He gave up five hits, walked

Guthrie retired 13 on fly balls and two on grounders.

Reds right-hander Jason Marquis (3-4) was pulled after 3 2-3 innings, yielding four runs, four hits, two sacrifice flies, two walks and a wild pitch. In losing his past three starts, Marquis has surrendered 21 hits and 15 runs in 12 1-3 innings for a 15.33 ERA. Will Marquis remain in the rotation?

“That’s a tough question when you’re struggling,” Reds manager Bryan Price said. “That’s a tough question when you’ve lost five games in a row and there have been some really poor performances in those losses.”

Mike Moustakas, who hit .212 last season, had three hits for his 16th multi-hit game to raise his average to .342.

Schneider completes staff for KU women’s basketball J-W Staff Reports

New Kansas University women’s basketball coach Brandon Schneider now has a complete staff in place for his first season leading the program.

Schneider announced Wednesday the additions of Andy Majors (director of player development) and Donease Smith (director of basketball operations). Plus, Natalie Knight, a four-year starting guard for the Jayhawks under former head coach Bonnie Henrickson, will remain with the team in the role of graduate student manager.

“Natalie had a tremendous career at Kansas as a student-athlete and we’re glad that she has decided to make the transition from player to coach with our program,” Schneider stated in a KU release.

frustrating because we all know we have potential to go all of the way.

We’re right there with all of the Olathe teams. It’s definitely frustrating. But I think we had a good run this year.”

The Lions came back in dramatic fashion to advance to the regional championship. Trailing by a run and down to their last out in the top of the seventh inning, Taylor drilled a double past Washburn Rural’s shortstop into center field to tie the game. Taylor then scored on an RBI single from senior Kenzie Garvin.

In the bottom of the seventh inning, Shield tossed a perfect frame,

It worked.

Five of the players — son Cooper Karlin, Marcelino Cortez, Casey Hearnen, Jon Saathoff and Joel Spain — from the 2008 USSSA state championship team that Karlin coached will play for 18-4 Free State High next week in the 6A state tournament. Two more, Michael Sinks and Nolan Prochaska, will try to join Free State at the 6A tournament by winning twice today for Lawrence High at Hummer Park in Topeka.

“She has been an outstanding member of the KU community and we’re thrilled she will continue to be part of it.”

Knight received All-Big 12 Honorable Mention twice in her career, which she finished with 1,081 points, 436 rebounds and 340 assists. She played on two Sweet 16 teams at Kansas, in 2012 and 2013.

Majors worked along Schneider for five seasons at Stephen F. Austin and before that served as an assistant at Pittsburg State.

“Coach Majors will be an invaluable asset both to our coaching staff as well as our studentathletes,” Schneider said. “He will head up the scouting of our opponents, and he will do an outstanding job as we game plan and prepare for success on the court.”

Smith, who previously worked in the WNBA with the Detroit Shock as basketball operations manger, spent the past six seasons aiding the women’s basketball program at Memphis.

“I’ve known Donease for a long time and I am excited that we could add someone with her experience in the world of operations,” Schneider said.

“She’s done this job at the high-major level for a long time, as well as in the WNBA.” A native of Sedalia, Missouri, Smith played at Central Missouri in college, and later served at Kansas State as director of operations in the 200607 season.

Majors has bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Pittsburg State, where he played quarterback from 2002 to 2005.

clinching Lawrence’s first regional win since 2011.

“That pitcher pitched outside almost every pitch and I was like, ‘Oh great. Here we go,’” said Taylor, who also hit a two-run inside-the-park homer in the second inning. “But I was like, ‘I’ve got to get a hit.’ It went through and I was happy.”

“It was huge,” Tarbutton added. “We were on top of the world.”

It was another bad inning that hurt the Lions against the Junior Blues. Washburn Rural scored four runs in the third inning, aided by three LHS errors.

However, Byrn drilled a two-out home run in the fifth inning, helping set the stage for the Lions’ comeback.

Tarbutton said it’ll be difficult replacing this year’s seniors — Byrn, Garvin, Shield and Me-

gan Sumonja — after how well they’ve performed for the past few years.

“Like I told them, there will never be another four as good as those,” Tarbutton said. “We will have one or two that’s as good of athletes, but four at one time? I don’t see that happening again. I hope it does, but right now that was four good ones.”

played multiple seasons for Karlin.)

Karlin remembers that team winning three games in one day by scores of 4-3, 6-5 and 2-1.

“We weren’t overly talented and we weren’t very big,” Karlin said.

“We did not scare anybody getting off the bus by any means. ... We didn’t out-athlete anybody. We did it with hard work and knowing the game and playing it the right way.

We weren’t blessed with a ton of speed, but we had good baserunners. They didn’t run like deer. They knew how to take the extra base, how to come hard out of the box. Fundamentally, we were really pretty darn sound.

“Our goal from the getgo was to prepare them to be successful at the high school level.”

Karlin knew what that was going to take because he had worked for Mike Hill and with LHS coach Brad Stoll on the first Firebirds staff. All three baseball coaches use the same terminology and teach “bunt coverages, relays, things like that,” the same way as Hill and Stoll.

When Karlin reflected on the youth teams he coached, he just as easily could have been describing this season’s Firebirds. They are better at playing good baseball than at looking like baseball stars walking off the bus.

Oh well, knowing the game and knowing each other’s games so well from years as teammates goes farther toward playing winning baseball than bulging biceps any day.
