Topeka — The Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission was gearing up Wednesday to launch a new website officials hope will give people easier access to information about who is contributing to political campaigns and which candidates are receiving that money.

most states have poor campaign finance websites that are confusing, difficult to navigate and often provide inaccurate information.

“The website home page, we believe, is going to be easier for people to navigate,” Williams said.

The action comes at a time 11 other states are suing the Obama administration over its directive.

Merrick’s letter states further that the federal policy directs Kansas and other states “to forsake fairness, compassion and privacy for a vast majority of students in favor of social experimentation that carries huge safety risks.”

It wasn’t immediately clear Wednesday how many other lawmakers had signed on to Merrick’s letter.

Kansas storms damage homes Chapman (ap) — About 20 homes were damaged Wednesday night in a rural area of northern Kansas after a tornado passed through but there were no immediate reports of injuries, the Kansas Highway Patrol said.

Trooper Ben Gardner, a spokesman for the patrol, said troopers were checking a rural area in Dickinson County where it was believed 20 homes were damaged, some significantly.

Troopers were going from home to home to make sure everyone was OK and so far hadn't found or heard of anyone who was hurt, Gardner said.

The National Weather Service had warned people to take cover as what it called a "catastrophic" tornado approached Chapman, about 75 miles west of Topeka.

But Gardner said it appears the storm traveled

south of the town.

A tornado watch was in effect for much of Kansas, including Douglas County, until midnight.

The storms Wednesday followed severe weather that swept through the Great Plains a day earlier, and the National Weather Service said more bad weather could be on the horizon.

Weather service meteorologist Andrew White in Dodge City said multiple tornadoes struck Ford and Hodgeman counties during a two-hour span Tuesday night, including an EF-2 twister that caused damage in western Ford County. Preliminary reports indicate that at least one of the tornadoes was a halfmile wide.

The tornadoes, which injured at least two people, were part of a series of storms that also pounded the Plains with rain and hail.

Lawrence artist Erok Johanssen, who works out of East Lawrence’s SeedCo Studios, said, “To fail at making this project happen would be a black eye to the community.”

Tim Herndon, who sat on the East Ninth Citizen Advisory Committee, said stopping the project would be a “waste of the money and gifts that have been given to us.”

“What will it do to our reputation if we renege on our commitments made to ArtPlace?” East Lawrence resident Jackie Counts asked.

“I think the reputation and the repercussions that may fall out if we decide not to move forward with this may outlive the disappointment of those of us who support this project.”

Tate said she has regularly updated ArtPlace through the project’s design process, which was planned to span seven months and has extended to 18. She said ArtPlace was “well aware” of Lawrence’s process.

“Major projects that combine support across municipal, nonprofit and private sectors can always experience delays, and we hope that is all we are seeing now,” Tate said. “We think the city will decide to take advantage

sistent with their gender identity even if their education records or identification documents indicate a different sex.”

Specifically regarding restrooms and locker rooms, the agencies said, “A school may provide separate facilities on the basis of sex but must allow transgender students access to such facilities consistent with their gender identity.”

That letter sparked a firestorm of controversy nationwide. Last week, the Kansas State Board of Education debated whether to adopt a formal statement opposing that policy.

Board member Ken Willard, a Hutchinson Republican, said accepting such a federal policy “could be the veritable straw that broke the camel’s back and result in the destruction of traditional American public schools.”

On a 6-4 vote, the board decided to postpone any action until its next monthly meeting in June.

Meanwhile, some conservative state lawmak-

ers have said they hope to pass a resolution condemning the policy next ljworld.com week, when the House and Senate reconvene for 645 New Hampshire St. (News Center) the formal “sine die” cerLawrence, KS 66044 emony to close the 2016 (785) 843-1000 • (800) 578-8748 legislative session.

sion is the agency charged with compiling those reports and making them available to the public.

Coincidentally, the new website was launched on the same day the Washington-based Campaign Finance Institute issued a scathing report that said “most states fall far short of any reasonable standard” of providing citizens access to useful information.

“It takes too long for users to find the answers to simple questions, and the answers they give are as likely to be inaccurate as not,” the report said.

The results were based on a survey of roughly 1,900 people who were asked to visit the disclosure sites of five different states and perform a set of basic searches.

Those individuals then rated their experiences.

The results for Kansas showed the state ranked about average among the 50 states for the length of time it took users to find the

information they were seeking. And users rated Kansas slightly above average when asked how confident they were in the answers they obtained from the website.

But when asked to rate their overall experience with the website on a scale of one to five — with one being “awful” and five being “excellent” — Kansas came out at 2.41, slightly below the national average of 2.69.

Williams said to make the website truly accessible, the Kansas Legislature would need to pass a law requiring all candidates for state offices, as well as parties, major donors and political action committees to file their reports electronically.

Then, she said, the Secretary of State’s office would need to agree to put those reports into a searchable database that could then be accessed over the Internet.

of the ArtPlace America investment in the street rather than turning it down in favor of no street renovation or in favor of a business-as-usual street renovation.”

Most of the ArtPlace America grant, $381,000, would go toward both integrated and temporary art along the sixblock corridor, as well as the cost of engaging artists to help in the street design.

Three artists are already under contract for $100,000 each, said Porter Arneill, the city’s arts and culture director.

Another $50,000 of the grant went toward a design contract with Kansas City-based el dorado inc for the concept design presented to commissioners Tuesday. The city paid the remaining $270,728 of that design contract.

The rest of the grant, $69,000, was set aside for administrative costs.

The total cost of the reconstruction, as it’s planned in the concept design, is estimated at $3.6 million to $3.7 million.

The budget was a source of debate earlier in the week, after Lawrence released its recommendations for large projects in the next five years and East Ninth Street was dubbed “unfunded.”

The previous City Commission had voted to set aside money for the project.

During talks about the five-year capital improvement plan Tuesday afternoon, new City Manager

Tom Markus took responsibility for the action, which had prompted some blowback from the Arts Center.

“With the city manager having removed the capacity that had been committed to funding the street project from the 2016 budget, what has been a two-year public process might have died there,” Tate said Wednesday.

Tate, along with Lawrence Arts Center board members Joan Golden and Cindy Maude, sent a letter to the city Monday asking that East Ninth Street be placed back onto the list of funded projects.

Markus noted the 2017 budget would be voted upon by the City Commission, which makes its final determinations. If commissioners want to move the project forward, they will have to decide which funded projects to pull the money from, he said.

A

n abrupt police chase Tuesday evening led to the arrest of one Lawrence man, police said.

Justin Lee Muckey, 31, was arrested Tuesday night on suspicion of reckless driving, attempting to elude a law enforcement officer, leaving the scene of an accident involving injury and driving while suspended.

Around 9:45 p.m. a police officer driving in the 1800 block of West 23rd Street noticed two westbound vehicles driving recklessly, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Laurie Powell.

The officer then began to follow one of the two vehicles, driven by Muckey.

With the police officer following, Muckey continued to drive erratical-

ly, breaking traffic laws, Powell said. And when the officer attempted to pull him over, Muckey refused to stop, heading north on Iowa Street.

A nearby Douglas County Sheriff’s deputy in the area was able to lend a hand, however.

With Muckey still driving, the deputy laid down police stop sticks “which disabled the vehicle, making it a very short pursuit,” Powell said.

The chase ended near the intersection of Iowa

Muckey was arrested and booked into the Douglas County Jail in lieu of a $1,450 bond.

you,” Sanburn said. “This day belongs to all of you, too.”

Nearly 350 seniors celebrated their graduation from Lawrence High at the school’s 142nd commencement ceremony. Graduates in black robes filled the bleachers at Allen Fieldhouse, where the ceremony was moved because of weather concerns, bouncing balloons and beach balls among them as students were called to receive their diplomas.

As part of her commencement speech, senior Kaitlyn Preut told her classmates that she hadn’t been the perfect student, and the fact that she is leaving high school well prepared for the years to come is due in large part to the efforts of her teachers. But Preut said along with the advice teachers and adults have provided them, she wanted her classmates to focus on one that is sometimes left out: the importance of loving oneself and looking for opportunities for growth.

“Loving yourself allows you not only to take chances, but be confident in those chances,” she said. “And it means always having someone to rely on, because when it gets tough you know you can stick it out.”

In her speech, senior Liliah Henderson also encouraged students to find the opportunities that best suit them.

Henderson said whether students plan to attend college, trade school or have other plans, they should commit to what they’d like to achieve as individuals.

“It’s so easy to get caught up in what everyone else is doing,” said Henderson, who delivered her speech in rhyme.

“Stick to your morals, focus on what you’re pursuing.”

For some students, their

Senior Sophia Taylor said she thinks the environment at Lawrence High allows people to express themselves, which she said is a big part of figuring out who you are.

“Especially at Lawrence High, I think we all learn that it’s OK to be yourself, and not to conform with everyone else,” Taylor said.

For Taylor, one of her favorite experiences at LHS ended up being influential as well. Taylor said the best part of high school was being on the softball team and playing alongside her classmates.

Next year, Taylor is going to play softball at the University of Northern Colorado and plans to major in either physical therapy or sports medicine.

Relationships among students also influenced senior Price Morgan, who said the bonds he has with classmates, teammates and others at Lawrence High are what will stick with him. Morgan, who will attend the U.S. Air Force Academy to play football, said that’s something he’ll look for in the future as well.

“You surround yourself with the right people and have the right mindset, you can really accomplish anything,” he said.

Son’s outburst suggests deeper problems Dear Annie: Until two years ago, I thought we had a loving family, even though my husband and I are divorced. We have two grown children in their 50s.

Two years ago, my son asked me to co-sign a college loan for his child. When I declined, he said he was “done with this whole family,’’ and has not spoken to any of us since.

I live several hundred miles away from my son. My thought now is to leave the bulk of what little I have to my daughter, because she will end up being my caregiver, selling my house and deciding my future medical care. Of course, I would leave my son a small sum, so he knows he has not been forgotten.

I see no repair to this family, as I do not foresee my son changing.

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

What advice do you have for me? — Hurt Mother Dear Hurt: Be grateful that you are close to your daughter. You were under no obligation to co-sign a loan on behalf of your grandchild. But your son’s reaction was totally out of proportion, and it makes us wonder whether something else may have been going on. Perhaps he felt you were somehow showing favoritism to

On TV, poverty barely exists Craig Ferguson hosts “Red Nose Day” (8 p.m., NBC), a charity fundraiser for people living in poverty in the United States and around the world.

One place that poverty has been effectively eradicated is on your television screen.

To watch most network dramas and comedies is to enter a world of effortless affluence, a place where very few characters ever struggle, worry or even think about how to pay the bills or put food on the table. Reality television stars occasionally capsize into bankruptcy, but only after their shows have been canceled and all of the champagne has been hurled.

OK, ABC’s “The Middle” stands out for celebrating a family of modest means. But how broke can “2 Broke Girls” on CBS be when one of them is a former heiress? Until the arrival of the often-glib “Superstore” on NBC, the only place a Wal-Mart or the Wal-Mart economy was discussed was on repeats of “King of the Hill.”

Some years back, I recall an episode of Nickelodeon’s “iCarly” where the gang’s big dilemma was how to spend $60,000 decorating a tween’s bedroom.

Imagine watching that show as the child of a single parent stringing together a meager income working three minimumwage jobs?

Nobody tunes into TV shows for harrowing social realism.

They never did. Few would have watched “The Beverly Hillbillies” to see Jed barely keep his family fed.

Yet 21st-century television’s celebration of wealth, veneration of celebrity and indifference to growing poverty and inequality may explain why so many feel turned off by the medium. Or why so many took so rapturously to AMC’s “Breaking Bad,” a tale of a teacher’s descent into evil after his middleclass dream evaporated.

Simply put, TV’s freedom from want seems phony at best and callous at worst. And it will take more than one annual “Red Nose Day” to address that.

Tonight’s other highlights O A murdered Secret Service agent is found on “Bones” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-14).

O “Jeopardy!” winner Ken Jennings appears on the second season premiere of “500 Questions” (7 p.m., ABC, TV-PG).

O “The Eighties” (8 p.m., CNN) recalls the highly politicized response to AIDS. O An escaped con seeks his family on “Rush Hour” (9 p.m., CBS, TV-14).

O Bad memories consume Cosima on “Orphan Black” (9 p.m., BBC America, TV-MA).

O “Lip Sync Battle” (9 p.m., Spike, TV-PG) pits CeeLo Green vs. Russell Peters.

his sister or her children. If such an accusation has merit, please examine your behavior honestly to see what you can change.

Is anyone in touch with your son — a relative or family friend?

Perhaps this person could intercede on your behalf and find out whether reconciliation is possible. It may require counseling, in which case, we hope you both would agree to go. Otherwise, whatever you do with your estate is up to you.

est in me as a person.

They rarely celebrate my birthday or holidays, saying they have to work and will come another day.

I am always sad when I hear about my friends celebrating special occasions with their families.

What can I do to mend this broken heart? — K. Dear K.: Some children become so wrapped up in their own lives that they forget to make time for their parents. Please don’t wait around for your kids to value you. Be as active as you can be. Maybe your kids will find you more interesting. If not, at least you’ll be living your life instead of waiting by the phone.

Dear Annie: My heart hurts and I don’t know how to fix it. I am in my late 70s and my adult children rarely call. I call them.

Arts choice Lawrence city commissioners shouldn’t give up on plans for an arts corridor on East Ninth Street.

L

awrence city commissioners are facing a pivotal decision on whether the arts corridor proposed for East Ninth Street will move forward or fall by the wayside.

City finances are tight, and this project has spurred considerable controversy in the community. That being said, it would be too bad if the proposed arts corridor east of downtown isn’t allowed to move forward in some fashion.

After City Manager Tom Markus proposed a capital improvements plan that included no funding in 2017 for the East Ninth Project, city commissioners were on the hot seat at Tuesday’s meeting. After hearing four hours of public comment, both pro and con, on the project, commissioners made the reasonable decision to take some time to digest what they had heard and then schedule a study session to talk through the issues.

Key among those issues are the financial challenges facing the city. Markus said the East Ninth Project was among projects that were listed as unfunded because they “are not financially feasible at this time” without making other financial adjustments. On Tuesday, he told commissioners that if they included funding for the arts corridor in the capital improvement plan, they would have to take money away from some other item in the plan.

That won’t be easy and suggests some compromise will be needed. Over the last 15 months, the city’s price tag for the arts corridor has grown from about $2.75 million to about $3.5 million. As commissioners talk through this project they should consider the possibility of pursuing a less expensive plan or finding ways to stage the improvements over a number of years — or both.

Commissioners also must consider the continuing split among East Lawrence residents and business people over this project. The advisory groups that have worked on this project have done their best to address opponents’ concerns, and the plans have garnered the support of key arts and community groups. Perhaps some additional consideration should be given to parking or other neighborhood issues, but commissioners should keep in mind that killing this project won’t heal the East Lawrence rift and could well make it worse.

It’s been nearly two years since the Lawrence Arts Center announced it had received a prestigious $500,000 grant from ArtPlace America to pursue this project. Since then, the project has followed the traditional Lawrence path of controversy, compromise and lots of public input. That process isn’t all bad and often leads Lawrence to make more thoughtful decisions about community projects. It would be a shame for all that work to go to waste. More compromise and creativity may be called for, but commissioners shouldn’t give up on a project that could be a real asset for the community.

Britain’s EU vote has broad impact London — Sixty-five years ago, what has become the European Union was an embryo conceived in fear. It has been stealthily advanced from an economic to a political project, and it remains enveloped in a watery utopianism even as it becomes more dystopian. The EU’s economic stagnation — in some of the 28 member nations, youth unemployment approaches 50 percent — is exacerbated by its regulatory itch and the self-inflicted wound of the euro, a common currency for radically dissimilar nations.

The EU is floundering amid mass migration, the greatest threat to Europe’s domestic tranquility since 1945.

The EU’s British enthusiasts, who actually are notably unenthusiastic, hope fear will move voters to affirm Britain’s membership in this increasingly ramshackle and acrimonious association. A June 23 referendum will decide whether “Brexit” — Britain’s exit — occurs.

Americans should pay close attention because this debate concerns matters germane to their present and future.

The EU is the linear descendant of institutionbuilding begun by people for whom European history seemed to be less Chartres and Shakespeare than the Somme and the Holocaust.

After two world wars, or a 31-year war (1914-1945), European statesmen were terrified of Europeans.

Under the leadership of two Frenchmen, Robert Schuman and Jean Monnet, they created, in 1951, the European Coal and Steel

George Will

“

The EU is the culmination of a grand attempt to drain Europe of grandeur, to make it permanently peaceful by making it prosaic — preoccupied and tranquilized by commerce.”

Community to put essential elements of industrial war under multinational control.

This begat, in 1957, the European Economic Community, aka the Common Market. Money, said Emerson, is the prose of life. The EU is the culmination of a grand attempt to drain Europe of grandeur, to make it permanently peaceful by making it prosaic — preoccupied and tranquilized by commerce.

European unity has always been a surreptitious political project couched in economic categories.

Britain’s Remain side is timid and materialistic, saying little that is inspiring about remaining but much that is supposedly scary about leaving. The Leave campaign is salted with the revolt-againstelites spirit now fermenting in nations on both sides of the Atlantic. The Remain camp

relies heavily on dire predictions of economic wreckage that would follow Brexit — forecasts from the U.K. Treasury, the International Monetary Fund, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, etc. Although none of these, in spring 2008, foresaw the crisis of autumn 2008, they now predict, with remarkable precision, economic damage to Britain’s economy, the world’s fifth largest, if it is detached from the stagnation of the EU. For example, the U.K. Treasury projects that Brexit would cost Britain 6.2 percent of GDP by 2030.

This confirms the axiom that economists prove their sense of humor by using decimal points.

Passion is disproportionately on the Leave side, which is why a low turnout will favor Brexit: Leavers are most likely to vote.

Current polls show Remain slightly ahead, but Leave has a majority among persons over age 43, who also are most likely to vote.

The most conspicuous campaigner for Brexit is Boris Johnson, the two-term Conservative former mayor of London. He is an acquired taste, and some thoughtful people oppose Brexit because if it happens, Prime Minister David Cameron, who leads the Remain campaign, might be replaced by Johnson.

Johnson is frequently compared to Donald Trump. Johnson, however, is educated (Eton; an Oxford classics degree), intelligent, erudite (see his book on Roman Europe), articulate and witty. (Johnson

says the EU’s latest compromise with Britain is “the biggest stitch up since the Bayeux Tapestry.” The British locution “stitch up” denotes something prearranged clandestinely.) So, Johnson’s only real resemblance to Trump, other than an odd mop of blond hair, is a penchant for flamboyant pronouncements, as when he said that Barack Obama opposes Brexit because Obama’s Kenyan background somehow disposes him against Britain.

Actually, Obama likes the European Union’s approximation of American progressives’ aspirations. These include unaccountable administrators issuing diktats, and what one EU critic calls “trickle-down postmodernism” — the erasure of national traditions and other impediments to “harmonizing” homogenized nations for the convenience of administrators.

Obama said Britain would go to “the back of the queue” regarding a U.S. trade agreement. Surely, however, reaching an agreement with one nation is easier than with 28.

Perhaps Obama has forgotten U.S. diplomat George Kennan’s axiom: The unlikelihood of a negotiation reaching agreement grows by the square of the number of parties taking part.

Brexit might spread a benign infection, prompting similar reassertions of national sovereignty by other EU members. Hence June 23 is the most important European vote since 1945.

Pragmatism not a bad strategy “You can’t always get what you want.”

— The Rolling Stones A few words in defense of pragmatism.

That ideal has taken quite a beating lately, mostly at the hands of Bernie Sanders and his supporters. The Vermont senator faces a virtually impossible deficit in his battle with Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination. Pragmatism would seem to suggest it’s time for him to pack it in.

But pragmatism don’t know Bernie. Or Bernie Nation.

If this weren’t clear before, it has been made abundantly so in the last two weeks, beginning with Sanders supporters in Las Vegas tearing open the Nevada Democratic convention in a protest so angrily chaotic it was shut down by security, fearing violence. But Sanders supporters weren’t done yet; they also sent death threats to party officials.

The proximate cause of this Trumpish behavior was a dispute over rules, a claim that, as Sanders’ campaign manager put it, the convention had been “hijacked” to award more delegates to Hillary Clinton. Politico rated that false.

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

Under certain circumstances, it might even be heroic to soldier on past the point of defeat.

These are not those circumstances.

Trump awaits.”

Not that this has made much difference to Sanders, now locked in a battle with the party he ostensibly seeks to lead. His denunciation of the convention chaos was as tepid and belated as Donald Trump at his worst. He has blasted the party for being, as he sees it, in the pocket of the rich, and specifically denounced Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. In a Monday interview, Sanders told the Associated Press that this summer’s convention could be “messy,” though he later insisted that was not a

tacit suggestion of violence.

Given the intensity of the emotions at play and the behavior of his supporters in Vegas, it’s hard to see how it could have been anything but. Which is disappointing.

A few days ago, Sanders’ campaign seemed headed for an honorable legacy. But he has apparently decided instead upon a legacy of peevishness and sore losing, which is, as Frank Bruni noted a few weeks back in The New York Times, a hallmark of this political epoch.

Look: There is something to be said, under certain circumstances, for fighting to the last breath. Under certain circumstances, it is noble to stand one’s ground, come what may. Under certain circumstances, it might even be heroic to soldier on past the point of defeat.

These are not those circumstances. Trump awaits.

And every second the left spends arguing with itself is a gift to the presumptive Republican nominee.

Let’s not get it twisted. For all that some people now seek to normalize him and his campaign, for all that they fool themselves into thinking he wouldn’t be so bad, for all that a party once appalled to find him its leader now co-

alesces behind him, Trump is still what he’s always been: a tire fire in an expensive suit.

Yes, Clinton is, putting it mildly, a flawed candidate, stiff at the lectern, shameless in her pandering and disliked for reasons both substantive (she sometimes seems to have only a nodding relationship with truth) and not. (Since when is it a sin — or a surprise — for a politician to be ambitious?)

But she’s also intelligent and experienced. And compared to Trump, she’s a plate of Lincoln with a side of FDR. As such, she might make a good president, might be a middling president, might even be a bad president, but at a minimum, she would be a president unlikely to hand out nuclear weapons like party favors or require customs agents to ask would-be visitors, “Are you now or have you ever been a Muslim?”

Clinton is, in other words, a good, pragmatic choice.

And no, that’s not an inspiring battle cry.

But a reality show buffoon unburdened by knowledge, decency or dignity is closing in on the White House. We should probably take a little inspiration from that.

New KU staff name tags to include gender pronouns

C

overing Kansas University over the past year, I’ve seen a number of students and employees (I’d say an increasing number) automatically volunteer their preferred gender pronouns when introducing themselves — usually before giving presentations, asking questions in forums, speaking at Student Senate meetings, etc.

If you’re not familiar with gender pronouns, for me, such an introduction would sound like: “Hi, I’m Sara Shepherd — she/her/hers — the Journal-World’s KU and higher education reporter.” Others might say “he/him/his” for individuals identifying as men, or “they/them/their” for people who identify as neither men nor women.

Some KU staffers also include those pronouns in their email signatures or their contact information on the KU website, among them Jen Brockman, director of the

Some lawmakers equate parties’ fees with ‘extortion’ Deirdre Shesgreen and Christopher Schnaars USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Rep. Thomas Massie has an unpaid bill for $240,000 sitting on his desk in Washington — a debt GOP leaders say he owes to the House Republicans’ campaign operation.

It’s part of the Kentucky Republican’s “dues,” a little-scrutinized but well-known levy that leaders of both parties impose on their colleagues to help fill the Democratic and Republican congressional campaign committee coffers.

WASHINGTON A State Department audit that found Hillary Clinton disregarded cybersecurity guidelines by using a private email server during her tenure as secretary of State renewed questions Wednesday about a controversy that has dogged her presidential campaign since it began more than a year ago.

The report from the inspector general, obtained by the Associated Press and sent to members of Congress, found that she and previous secretaries of State poorly managed computer systems. The audit cites “long-standing, systemic weaknesses” related to communication that started before Clinton’s appointment.

However, the report says Clinton did not seek authorization for her email account and by the time she took office in 2009, standards for email security were “considerably more detailed.”

ROBIN BECK, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Hillary Clinton violated cybersecurity guidelines, audit concludes.

The department revised guidelines through 2011, according to the report, and “Clinton’s cybersecurity practices must be evaluated in light of these more comprehensive directives.”

In a statement, campaign spokesman Brian Fallon said Clinton’s opponents “are sure to misrepresent this report.”

“The report shows that prob-

lems with the State Department’s electronic record-keeping systems were long-standing and that there was no precedent of someone in her position having a State Department email account until after the arrival of her successor,” Fallon said.

He said the report showed her use of a personal email account “was not unique.” It also showed

there is no evidence of a successful hack of her server.

The review came after revelations last year that Clinton exclusively used a private email account and server while in office.

The FBI is separately probing whether any classified information crossed her server. The investigation has cast a shadow over her presidential campaign, though Clinton is close to clinching the Democratic nomination.

The 78-page report says the department and its secretaries were “slow to recognize and to manage effectively the legal requirements and cybersecurity risks associated with electronic data communications, particularly as those risks pertain to its most senior leadership.”

The audit gave Republican critics, including presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump, fresh ammunition.

“Crooked Hillary had a little bad news,” he said during a rally in California on Wednesday.

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus blasted Clinton on Twitter, saying her “bad judgment” had “endangered” national security.

Muslim students run afoul of Swiss handshakes

$5,000 fine possible for rejecting practice Helena Bachmann and Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

Educational authorities in Switzerland ruled Wednesday that the parents or guardians of students who refuse to shake a teacher’s hand — a Swiss tradition — can be fined up to $5,000.

The decision comes after a school in the northern town of Therwil, near Basel, agreed last month to allow two teenage MusGENEVA

lim boys to refuse to shake hands with their female teachers on religious grounds. The school also decided the boys would not shake hands with male teachers to avoid discrimination.

The incident sparked a national debate — Swiss students often shake their teachers’ hands at the beginning and end of the day.

The two brothers, ages 14 and 15, had argued that shaking a female teacher’s hand was against their beliefs as Muslims because physical contact with the opposite sex is allowed only with family members.

One of the brothers posted material in support of the Islamic

In Switzerland, a handshake is a symbol of mutual respect and goodwill.

State on his Facebook page, the Basler Zeitung website reported.

The school’s decision was temporary, pending legal advice.

The local Education Department explained in a statement Wednesday that the school’s exemption was lifted because “the public interest with respect to equality between men and women and the integration of foreigners significantly outweighs the freedom of religion.” It added that a teacher has the right to demand a handshake.

The statement said if the students refuse to shake hands again, “the sanctions called for by law will be applied.”

About 400,000 Muslims live in Switzerland, 5% of the country’s population of 8 million.

“Shaking hands when greeting one another is part of the culture in Switzerland and practiced as such at Therwil schools,” Therwil’s local council said in a statement last month.

Shortly after the refusal to shake hands became public, their family’s application for Swiss citizenship was put on hold. Authorities plan to investigate the circumstances under which the boys’ father arrived from Syria more than a decade ago.

AFGHAN TALIBAN NAMES SUCCESSOR TO MANSOOR Nation’s president tells new leader to join talks or face predecessor’s fate Kim Hjelmgaard

THREE LEADERS IN THREE YEARS

@khjelmgaard USA TODAY

The Taliban has had a quick succession of leaders recently.

A look at who has led:

The Afghan Taliban announced Wednesday that its new leader is Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada, a hawkish deputy of Mullah Akhtar Mansoor who was killed in an American drone strike last week.

Mansoor was killed in Pakistan on Saturday when his vehicle was struck by a drone attack, but the Taliban only confirmed his death Wednesday. The insurgent group said Akhundzada was chosen at a meeting of Taliban leaders but offered no other details.

Mansoor had drawn scorn from the U.S. and Afghan governments for refusing to participate in a peace process. Javid Faisal, spokesman for Afghan President Abdullah Abdullah, issued a dark invitation for Akhundzada to join talks: “Political settlement is the only option ... or new leadership will face the fate of #Mansoor.”

Not all of the militant movement’s members supported the choice. A breakaway Taliban faction led by Mullah Mohammad Rasool, which has battled Mansoor for control of drug smuggling routes, said it would not accept Akhundzada as leader, the Associated Press reported. The group complained that he was chosen by the same small clique that selected Mansoor, rather than by the rank and file.

Akhundzada is a religious cler-

Haibatullah Akhundzada was announced as the the new Afghan Taliban leader.

One-eyed cleric Mohammed Omar gave sanctuary to Osama bin Laden when the alQaeda leader planned the 9/11 attacks. He apparently died in 2013 while hiding in Pakistan, but his death was kept hidden by the Taliban for two years until confirmed by Afghanistan’s main intelligence agency last July. Omar was believed to have been about 53 when he died. The Afghan government said the cleric died from tuberculosis and other ailments.

ic and scholar and the former leader of the Taliban’s court system who is known for his extremist views.

The Taliban has been fighting to overthrow Afghanistan’s government since being driven out

by U.S.-led forces in 2001.

Akhtar Mansoor effectively led the group after Omar’s death.

He was formerly installed by an election in 2015. He was believed to be about 48 when he was killed last weekend by a U.S. drone strike in Pakistan.

MULLAH HAIBATULLAH AKHUNDZADA

The Taliban announced that the former leader of the organization’s court system, Haibatullah Akhundzada would take over following Mansoor’s death. Akhundzada is a hawkish religious cleric and scholar. He is believed to be in his mid-50s.

Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio, called party dues part of a “corrosive system of public begging and colleague-luring.”

“Often, leadership positions in the institution hinge on proficiency at fundraising,” Kaptur said. “It is clear that political party fundraising has been moved directly into Congress, at levels never imagined by the Founders.”

Other lawmakers sharply reject that criticism. They argue that lawmakers’ dues are not compulsory and have no direct link to committee assignments.

said Massie and others who complain about the system are looking for an excuse to explain their failure to advance in Congress.

Lawmakers’ dues have become a huge and vital source of cash for the House and Senate party committees. Lawmakers are the only people who can give unlimited sums to the party committees — as long as the funds come from their re-election accounts or their leadership PACs, second accounts that lawmakers use to raise money for other candidates.

In the 2014 election cycle, the National Republican Congressional Committee, which helps vulnerable Republicans or GOP challengers in tough races, raised about $153 million overall. More than one-third of that, about $67.7 million, came from Republican candidates and lawmakers’ fundraising accounts, according to a USA TODAY analysis of campaign-finance data.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee raised $207 million in the 2014 cycle, about $30.6 million of which came from Democratic lawmakers and candidates’ fundraising committees, the USA TODAY analysis showed.

Katie Martin, the NRCC’s communication director, said, “We do not comment on our dues system.” DCCC spokeswoman Meredith Kelly boasted that 83% of Democrats in the House have contributed dues to the committee this election cycle.

Stivers said most lawmakers pay their dues because they want to protect the GOP majority.

“Who is best invested in us being in the majority? It’s us!” said Rep. Pat Tiberi, R-Ohio.

HOW IT WORKS

At the start of each two-year election cycle, the Democratic and Republican campaign committees set up contribution programs in which House leaders, committee chairmen, veteran lawmakers and relative newcomers are given fundraising goals.

“Somebody from NRCC will usually call you and say, ‘Hey, here’s what your dues number is, and we want to work with you to help you meet some people that might want to give to NRCC,’ ” said Stivers, who served as the committee’s fundraising vice chairman in the 2014 election.

Lawmakers get “credit” for paying their dues when a donor they have contacted gives to the NRCC or when they transfer money from their own accounts.

Senators do the same thing.

Congressional committees are divided into three tiers: The panels with the most financial power

— such as the Ways and Means Committee, which crafts tax policy — are viewed as plum “A” committees. The “B” panels include the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, the Budget Committee and the Foreign Affairs Committee. The “C” committees oversee small business, science programs and congressional ethics, among other issues.

Rep. Steve Chabot, R-Ohio, of the Small Business Committee, said he sees paying dues as part of being a “team player.” He said as the dean of Ohio’s GOP delegation, he lobbies his home-state colleagues to pony up.

Chabot said he’s never been told his dues would be linked to his committee posts. He also said he has never tried to get on an “A” committee.

BOTH PARTIES DO IT

A leaked document, obtained in 2014 by Buzzfeed News, detailed the dues that Democrats impose on their House members. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, DCalif., was expected to contribute $800,000 that election cycle to the DCCC. Lawmakers who served as the ranking Democrats on “exclusive” committees had tabs of $500,000, while the top Democrats on less powerful committees were billed $250,000.

The Republicans had their own dues leak in 2011, when Politico reported the names and outstanding bills of some GOP lawmakers in a story that suggested party leaders had admonished them for failing to pony up.

Lawmakers give money to curry favor with each other, so they have an advantage when committee assignments and leadership

decisions are made. To critics such as Massie, the system is just one more sign that everything in Washington is for sale.

By linking fundraising to the top committee posts, leaders are “co-mingling official business with fundraising,” Massie said.

“Just like you shouldn’t be making phone calls asking for money from an office that’s paid for with taxpayer dollars (something that is prohibited), they shouldn’t be able to withhold or extend committee assignments that are official duties and official titles based on fundraising.”

“It’s a broken incentive,” said Josh Stewart, a spokesman for the Sunlight Foundation, a nonpartisan good-government organization that tracks campaign finance. “Policy expertise and seniority are weighed less now than your fundraising prowess, and that is problematic.”

Tiberi is a member of the House GOP Steering Committee, which doles out committee seats and chairmanships in closeddoor meetings. He said that in his 16 years in the House, he’s never heard of anyone losing a committee assignment because they failed to pay their dues. But he conceded that dues do play at least a small role. “It’s part of a larger picture,” Tiberi said. “It’s not the entire picture.” The far more important factors, he said, are seniority and expertise.

Massie said he has no intention of paying his dues, and he’s not worried about losing committee assignments.

“I’m on important committees that are not lucrative,” he said.

Texas and 10 other states filed suit against the Department of Education’s May 13 directive requiring schools to allow transgender students to choose which bathroom they’ll use, saying the Obama administration was attempting to rewrite a 44-year-old law intended to prevent discrimination against girls and women.

And on Capitol Hill, Democrats vowed to force votes on gay rights after a bitter showdown on the House floor last week over a last-minute Republican maneuver to block a gay rights amendment to a Republican religious liberty provision. Republicans prevailed after a number of GOP lawmakers changed their votes, prompting Democrats to shout, “Shame!

Shame!”

Both actions reverberate from executive actions Obama has taken on gay rights. Democrats were trying to codify a 2014 Obama executive order prohibiting federal contractors from discriminating against gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender people.

And the 11 Republican state attorneys general are trying to overturn a number of Obama administration directives on gay rights — especially the guidance to school boards this month requiring transgender students to have access to the restrooms, locker rooms and overnight accommodations of their chosen gender identity.

“Our local schools are now in the crosshairs of the Obama administration,” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said Wednesday, leading the lawsuit on behalf of Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana, Maine, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia and Wisconsin. “These schools are facing the potential loss of school funding for simply

following common sense policies that protect their students.”

Also joining the suit is the Harrold Independent School District, an eastern Texas school system whose school board adopted a policy Monday requiring students to use restrooms consistent with their biological sex.

“Our local schools are now in the crosshairs of the Obama administration.”

mission for various regulations over the past six years prohibiting school and workplace discrimination based on gender identity.

The Justice Department did not immediately comment on the lawsuit, but the White House has said the guidance came in response to concerns from local school officials seeking clarity about how to deal with the increasingly controversial bathroom issue.

The transgender bathroom issue may have also doomed the Democratic amendment that prompted the ruckus on the House floor last week.

Rep. Sean Maloney, D-N.Y., is preparing to reintroduce the amendment to uphold the executive order, hoping to force another vote this week. “There are only two choices here — keep rigging the votes and promote discrimination, or open up the process and let the House vote for equality,” Maloney said.

COMPANY: FIGHT ZIKA VIRUS WITH MODIFIED MOSQUITOES

A company with a swarm of genetically modified mosquitoes wants the Food and Drug Administration to grant emergency approval for the controversial insects’ use in the fight against the Zika virus.

Oxitec changed the DNA of the Aedes aegypti mosquitoes that spread the virus so their offspring die before adulthood, Hadyn Parry, the British company’s CEO, told the House of Representatives’ Committee on Science, Space, and Technology in Washington on Wednesday. The company deploys only male mosquitoes, which cannot bite, to halt transmission of the disease, he added.

“I don’t think time is on our side with Zika,” Parry said.

Scientists have detected Zika in 39 countries and territories in the Caribbean and Latin America, according to the Pan American Health Organization.

Russia on Wednesday released a female Ukrainian pilot who has become a national hero in an ex-

change for two Russian prisoners.

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko personally flew to Russia to bring Nadiya Savchenko home, Reuters reported. He tweeted that the plane had landed in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev with the “hero of Ukraine” aboard.

Savchenko, 35, became a symbol of Ukrainian nationalism sparked by Russia’s seizure of Crimea from the former Soviet republic in 2014 and its support for a separatist rebellion in eastern Ukraine.

She was captured in eastern Ukraine and sent to Russia, where she was imprisoned in June 2014.

A few dozen people protested quietly outside a Donald Trump appearance in Anaheim, Calif., on Wednesday, one day after a demonstration outside a New Mexico event exploded in chaos as protesters trampled barricades, hurled bottles and burned Trump gear.

Anaheim Police Chief Raul Quezada earlier promised “swift and decisive action” if violence flared outside the Anaheim Convention Center.

“While we recognize and respect the First Amendment rights of all individuals to express their viewpoints and protest peacefully, we will not tolerate violence or disobedience of the law during the upcoming rally in Anaheim,” Quezada said.

A heavy police presence greeted the protesters, including scores of officers, some on horseback. Sgt. Daron Wyatt, spokesman for the department, said the police presence for the Anaheim event was much larger than the Albuquerque rally. He said the protest was under control.

Quezada warned protesters could face arrest if found blocking sidewalks, interfering with vehicular and pedestrian traffic or “directly advocating violence or imminent lawless activity.”

“Everyone has the right to participate without fear of violence or disorder, and we are prepared to take swift and decisive enforce-

ment action should it become necessary,” he said.

The Albuquerque unrest, the latest in a series of sometimes chaotic protests inside and outside Trump events across the nation, drew thousands of Trump supporters inside the city’s convention center.

Hundreds of far less enamored citizens made a statement outside.

Protest banners included “I am not a rapist or a drug dealer” and “Women are the silent majority: We do not stand with Trump.” The protesters, some hurling objects, chanted “Walk of shame!” at Trump supporters along a sidewalk that leads to the center.

Police in riot gear fired smoke grenades to quell the disturbance, and several officers were injured.

Police re-established the barricades and stopped most of the protesters outside the building. But some eluded security and made it inside, and several were dragged out after repeatedly trying to interrupt Trump.

“They’re Bernie Sanders supporters,” Trump said, adding many Sanders supporters would vote Trump in the November election.

Trump was typically dismissive of many of the demonstrators, repeating his common refrain that they should “go home to their mommas.”

His Twitter review of the protesters outside also was blunt.

“The protesters in New Mexico were thugs who were flying the Mexican flag,” Trump tweeted.

“The rally inside was big and beautiful, but outside, criminals!”

Protesters gather outside the Anaheim Convention Center around an effigy of Donald Trump before a rally for the GOP presidential candidate Wednesday in Anaheim, Calif. Police warned of swift action if the rally broke out in violence, as one did in Albuquerque on Tuesday.

SILICON VALLEY INCOME DISPARITY

Housing, transit costs could add to worries in future, report says Elizabeth Weise @eweise USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO As Silicon Valley boomed after the recession, its middle class shrunk, creating one of the widest gaps in the nation between the ultra-wealthy and everyone else.

Here, fewer than 50% of households are now middle class, and half of all income gains flowed to the top 1% of earners, said a new report released Wednesday.

At the same time, housing prices skyrocketed while incomes at the lower end of the spectrum were stagnant.

The three-county region of Santa Clara, San Mateo and San Francisco, home to employees DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVG. from hundreds of tech companies including Facebook, Google and Apple, is a far more unequal place 17,900 than it was a quarter of a century 17,850 ago.

home 46 times more pay than the average of the bottom 99%.

In Santa Clara County, the average income of the top 1% of households increased 83% to $2.7 million. That was 30 times more than other households in the county.

For San Francisco, which is both a county and a city, the average income of the top 1% rose 51%, to $2.7 million. That was 43

times the average income of the bottom 99% of city residents.

While income inequality is an issue nationwide, in Silicon Valley it has become a chasm that could affect the nation’s center for tech innovation long term, the report cautioned.

Nationally, a middle-class yearly income for a household of three people is considered to be between $42,000 and $125,000, according to the Pew Research Center.

Low income would be anything under $42,000 and upper-income is above $125,000.

In San Mateo and Santa Clara counties, both mostly suburban, 58% of households were middle class in 1989.

By 2014 that number had shrunk to 48% for San Mateo County and 47% for Santa Clara.

In San Francisco, which is both a county and a city, the average income of the top 1% rose 51% to $2.7 million.

households were middle class in 1989. By 2014, that number stood at 41%.

While higher-income households in tech-heavy Silicon Valley saw sizable growth after the end of the Great Recession in 2009, low-income households saw almost no gain in earnings during that time.

The area is economically different than much of the country in that there are more jobs and they pay better than in other regions, said Chris Hoene, executive director of the budget center.

But because housing is expensive and transit systems are weak, even with the availability of better-paying jobs than in much of the nation, low- and middle-income households fell further behind.

The silver lining is that Silicon Valley has the money to make investments that could help turn around the rising inequality.

Building better transit and increasing affordable housing would go a long way toward aiding those at the bottom of the income rung, said Hoene.

Dealing with the issue is key to Silicon Valley’s future. A robust middle class is important for long-term economic growth, and without it the region’s economy could falter, the report found.

“We don’t want to turn around 25 years from now and wonder why Silicon Valley didn’t turn out to continue being the engine of growth it had been,” Hoene said.

Oil prices creep back near $50 a barrel Memorial Day drivers still getting a bargain compared to a year ago Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

Oil prices edged closer to the $50 mark Wednesday as U.S. motorists and other users continued to slurp through the glut, lowering inventories.

The price of West Texas Intermediate oil, the U.S. benchmark crude, rose 94 cents to $49.56 following reports late Tuesday the American Petroleum Institute’s crude inventory count fell 5.2 million barrels for the week. The

Oil prices of $50 a barrel or higher could help many U.S. oil and gas producers survive.

price of Brent crude, the global benchmark, rose $1.13 to $49.74.

Even as oil prices edge up, motorists getting ready for the Memorial Day weekend may sense

they are getting a bargain. A gallon of regular gas averaged $2.304 Wednesday, AAA’s Fuel Gauge Report states, compared to $2.74 a year ago.

The Energy Information Administration says U.S. crude oil inventories slipped by 4.2 million barrels in the week ending May 20. Signs of falling inventories suggest declining supply, increasing demand or some combination of both — a recipe for increasing oil prices.

Another factor influencing oil’s movement was a report that France is tapping strategic oil reserves to bolster supply following strikes by oil workers.

Although still far below historical highs, oil prices of $50 per barrel could help many U.S. oil

and gas producers stay afloat. A few months ago, the industry was facing a sweeping fallout after oil briefly fell below $30 per barrel.

Still, there’s no indication the commodity will surge much higher. Goldman Sachs analysts said Sunday in a research note they expect prices to hover in the $50 to $60 range through 2020.

And the pain is far from over.

Royal Dutch Shell announced Wednesday it would shed an additional 2,200 jobs globally in 2016 on top of the 2,800 it had previously planned to cut. The company cut 7,500 positions in 2015.

The EIA also noted Wednesday that oil inventories remain at “historically high levels for this time of year.”

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

As Americans hit the beach, enjoy backyard barbecues and attend parades honoring the sacrifices of U.S. soldiers this coming Memorial Day weekend, they can also look forward to better-thannormal returns in the stock market in next week’s four-day trading period.

That’s right, since 1971, when Memorial Day was first recognized as a federal holiday, the large-company Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index has posted average gains of 0.54% and finished higher 60% of the time, according to data from Bespoke Investment Group.

And while 0.54% might not seem like a rally to brag about, “it is more than three times the

0.16% average gains for all weeks since 1971,” Bespoke stressed in a note to clients.

And don’t forget that these above-average returns after Memorial Day occur in only four trading days, not the normal five.

The gains in the shortened holiday week are even better when the market is up for the year heading into the long weekend. In those up years, the weekly gains in the four-day post-holiday week jump 5-day to 0.65%, the avg.: and-4.01 market finishes up 63.3% the 6-month avg.: of -18.39 time.

Largest holding: AAPL So enjoy those burgers and Most bought: FBhot dogs and adult beverages.

Most sold: GLRE If history is a guide, rising stock prices next week might take the sting out of those hefty cash outlays for the big weekend that marks the unofficial start to summer. The nearly 2% rally heading into the big weekend is an added bonus.

Myriad issues keeping luxury retailer down Q: What’s wrong with Tiffany?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Tiffany just gave investors a giftwrapped surprise.

Only it wasn’t a good one.

The high-end jewelry retailer Wednesday reported disappointing revenue and adjusted profit for the quarter ended in April. That makes Tiffany the latest retailer that’s struggling and causing investors to wonder how widespread the issues are and if the company can snap out of its malaise. Tiffany reported quarterly adjusted profit of 64 cents a share, down 21% from the same period a year ago. Worse yet, it was 6% lower than analysts expected, S&P Global Market Intelligence says. Revenue also was down 7% to $891.3 million.

Like many luxury retailers, Tiffany was hit with disappointing spending by foreign tourists in the U.S. The situation was only worsened by the strong U.S. dollar. But that’s just one of the issues faced by the company. It also has suffered from the sluggish economies in the European and Asian regions as well as competition from online rivals.

The company isn’t indicating any turnaround soon. Tiffany said to expect profit per share to fall in the mid-singlepercentage range for the current year.

Investors have plenty of reason to doubt the stock, explaining why it has lost a quarter of its value in a year.

Citibank to pay $425M to settle CFTC benchmark charges Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

Citibank agreed to pay $425 million in fines to settle civil charges it attempted to manipulate financial benchmarks between 2007 and 2012, a federal regulator said Wednesday.

The consumer banking arm of Citigroup “on multiple occasions” tried to boost trading profits by attempting to manipulate and make false reports about the U.S. Dollar International Swaps and Derivatives Association Fix, a

TIMOTHY A. CLARY, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

benchmark for interest rate products, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission said.

Citibank and two Japanese affiliates also attempted to manipulate the London Interbank Offered Rate popularly known as Libor, as well as the Euroyen Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate

benchmarks, the CFTC said. The benchmarks in multiple world currencies are used to set rates on trillions of dollars in mortgages, credit cards and loans.

Separately, Citibank was charged with false reporting of U.S. dollar Libor “to avoid generating negative media attention and to protect its reputation” during the financial crisis from the spring of 2008 through the summer of 2009, the CFTC said.

Although several European banks had previously agreed to pay fines for alleged Libor-related manipulation, Citibank is the first U.S.-based bank to reach a similar

settlement.

Citibank will pay $250 million to settle the ISDAfix charges, while the bank and its Japanese affiliates will pay $175 million to resolve the Libor-related allegations, the CFTC said.

“As evident by today’s actions, the CFTC’s vigilance includes holding a financial institution, like Citi, responsible each time it acts to undermine a benchmark for its personal profit or benefit,” Aitan Goelman, the federal regulator’s enforcement director, said in a statement announcing the charges and settlements.

The agreements took into ac-

count Citibank’s decision to selfreport the yen Libor misconduct and the bank’s “evolving nature” of cooperation about the ISDAfix charges, Goelman said.

Citibank, which neither admitted nor denied the allegations, characterized the settlements as a significant step in resolving older investigations.

“In addition to adopting industry-wide reforms related to participation in benchmark rates, Citi has made substantial investments in its systems, controls and monitoring processes to better guard against inappropriate behavior,” the bank said.

Bill Cosby leaves the Montgomery County Courthouse on Tuesday after a judge ordered him to stand trial on sex assault charges.

Cosby’s criminal trial: Key questions answered Law prevents more charges, but judge may let others testify Maria Puente USA TODAY

THEY SAID WHAT? THE STARS’ BEST QUOTES “I say sorry all day, which doesn't make sense considering I'm not a warlord, a drunk driver, or a pizza delivery guy speeding down 6th Avenue on a FILMMAGIC fixed gear bike scaring the (expletive) out of pedestrians. I am a woman who is sometimes right, sometimes wrong but somehow always sorry.” — Lena Dunham in an essay for LinkedIn about how she, and many women, apologize too often.

Soon, Bill Cosby accuser Andrea Constand will get to confront him at a criminal trial about what she says he did to her 12 years ago. When she does, dozens of other women will be behind her in spirit, and a few may take the stand to testify in person, too.

Maybe.

Cosby, 78, the former TV idol fallen under the weight of five dozen accusations of drugging and/or sexual assault, was ordered Tuesday to answer Constand’s accusations at a trial outside Philadelphia.

He is charged with three counts of aggravated indecent assault against Constand, 43, who says Cosby drugged and molested her. Cosby says their encounter was consensual.

Americans who have been following the confounding Cosby saga since it re-emerged in October 2014 may well be asking themselves: What about the other accusers?

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

HOW DID SOME ACCUSERS REACT TO THE NEWS?

DAVID M. BENETT, WIREIMAGE

“Many of my clients are very happy that Andrea Constand will have her day in court and the people of Pennsylvania will have their day in court and Mr. Cosby will have his day in court,” says Gloria Allred, the attorney who

MARCUS INGRAM, GETTY IMAGES

Lili Bernard and attorney Gloria Allred with protesters in May 2015. Bernard says she’s “elated” the case is going to trial. represents about 30 Cosby accusers, some of whom have not gone public.

One of them, Lili Bernard, who says Cosby raped her in 1990, said on MSNBC Tuesday that she was “elated.”

“I’m speaking here in solidarity and in prayer with Andrea Constand and the plethora of us victims of Bill Cosby’s sexual violence, as well as all survivors of sexual assault, both female and male,” she said. “I see Andrea Constand as ... the cornerstone of our fight for justice.”

because of state statutes of limitation.

Constand’s case has reached criminal court because Pennsylvania has a 12-year time period to file on sex charges. Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele, who made a campaign promise to pursue Cosby, filed the charges against him days before the statute of limitation was due to expire.

Thus, Constand, who lives in her native Canada, probably will be law enforcement’s only chance to try to convict Cosby of a crime.

WILL OTHER ACCUSATIONS AGAINST COSBY RESULT IN CRIMINAL CHARGES?

WILL OTHER ACCUSERS BE ALLOWED TO TESTIFY?

Not likely. All the other accusations against him — the number of women who have accused him publicly is near 60 — are too old to pursue in criminal courts

Possibly. Prosecutors who want to introduce testimony about a defendant’s alleged “prior bad acts” — to show a similar pattern of behavior and thus bolster chances of conviction — have to

meet a high standard of evidentiary value, says Dennis McAndrews, a former prosecutor who teaches criminal law at Villanova University and practices in suburban Philadelphia.

“It’s very challenging because courts are reluctant,” says McAndrews, who’s been following the Cosby case. “They hold the prosecution to a tight burden to establish that (the testimony) is highly relevant, that the facts of other cases are close to the case (on trial) and that the probative value significantly outweighs the prejudicial” effect.

If the trial judge OKs it, McAndrews expects prosecutors will pick five or six Cosby accusers whose stories are “as factually consistent as possible” with Constand’s story to take the stand to testify against Cosby. “It’s very powerful evidence,” he said.

WHAT CAN COSBY’S DEFENSE TEAM DO?

Allred says the issue of “prior bad acts” testimony will be key at trial, and at least some of her clients would be willing to testify.

“The only thing I can say with certainty is there is no doubt Mr. Cosby’s defense lawyers will vigorously object,” she says. “They want this to be ‘he-said-she-said’ and not ‘he-said-she-said-shesaid-she-said-she-said’ or however many it’s going to be.”

Indeed, Cosby’s lawyers will try to persuade the judge against allowing other accusers to testify and may appeal if they lose.

McAndrews says appellate courts are reluctant to intervene on such appeals until after the trial.

Time isn’t on the side of Alice Through the Looking Glass.

Six years after Tim Burton put a trippy spin on Alice in Wonderland, the mediocre sequel (eg out of four; rated PG; in theaters Friday) matches the original’s hypercolor palette and insane visuals, though it can’t cobble together an equally engaging plot or even a coherent one. Looking Glass is instead a competition to see how goofy Johnny Depp can be as the Mad Hatter and how many scenes (and hearts) Helena Bonham Carter can steal as the ragingly high-maintenance Red Queen.

Oh, yeah, Alice (Mia Wasikowska) is in this, too, though she’s overshadowed by even Humpty Dumpty’s shattered pieces in the follow-up directed by James Bobin (The Muppets). Years removed from her first adventure in Wonderland, Alice is now a sea captain who has traveled the globe, only to find herself in jeopardy of losing her home and vessel upon her return to London.

Alice (Mia Wasikowska) and Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp) wander the hypercolorful world in Alice Through the Looking Glass.

MOVIE REVIEW BRIAN TRUITT

PETER MOUNTAIN

That subplot gets put on the Victorian shelf as soon as the caterpillar-turned-butterfly Absolem (voiced by the late Alan Rickman) leads her to a transporting Looking Glass and a way back to a magical world where chess pieces seem more alive than Anne Hathaway’s White Queen.

Alice’s pal Mad Hatter is actually Sad Hatter — he’s dying, but finds a clue that his family might not have died in an inferno caused by the Jabberwocky. Alice hijacks a time-traveling Chronosphere from Time (Sacha Baron Cohen), an eccentric guy with

a penchant for clockwork chic, but every time she uses it, she destroys the Grand Clock a little more.

Linda Woolverton’s script is filled with time clichés and painful puns — the Mad Hatter calling one of the Red Queen’s vegetable minions “absolutely radishing” is particularly abhorrent. Worse, the plot presents Alice as an accidental antagonist of sorts, since her selfish decisions lead to many of the obstacles she faces.

She definitely has a gentle nature when it comes to the Hatter, and Depp takes him to a nonsensical level in Looking Glass. The

character who most balances wacky and grounded aspects is Time — Cohen pumps the brakes on his usual over-the-top tendencies and turns him into one of the film’s few wise men. Time also gets the coolest special effects, with his steampunk-influenced sidekicks and fantastical gearfilled kingdom.

He also has a girlfriend of sorts with the big-headed Red Queen.

Carter is phenomenal as the quasi-villainess, who gets an origin story and owns every moment she’s on screen. From the heartshaped lipstick to the occasional “Off with his/her/their head!” shouts, she’s a bright spot in a Wonderland missing wonder.

While Alice yearns to do “six impossible things before breakfast,” crafting a satisfying sequel is not in the cards. In the end, it suffers from the same downfall as Disney’s live-action The Jungle Book, with style burying substance. Unless a Red Queen road trip is on tap next, it might be time to retire the Looking Glasses for a while.

Firebirds familiar with state baseball vibe

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Back at the Class 6A state tournament for the second straight year, Free State High baseball players know their routine. They are relaxed but still anxious to return to the field.

After winning a state

championship last season, the Firebirds will attempt to become the first school to win back-to-back titles in 25 years, starting with their first-round matchup against fifth-seeded Derby at 1:15 p.m. today at Kansas University’s Hoglund Ballpark.

“It feels a little less tight,” Free State senior second

baseman Mikey Corbett said. “There’s a little less nerves. Just a little familiarity going into this week. But there’s still the same angst.”

The fourth-seeded Firebirds (18-4) have won their last six games through their formula of strong pitching, solid defense and timely hitting. Now the key is win-

ning two games in three days against the state’s best — again.

“We know what it takes, which is an important part,” Corbett said. “We know we can’t make many mistakes.

We’re going to have to be flawless. We’re playing a lot of good teams. There’s really no room for error. But

Who: No. 4 seeded Free State (18-4) vs. No. 5 seed Derby (17-5) When: 1:15 p.m. today Where: Hoglund Please see BASEBALL, page 3C Ballpark

with that, we can’t be tight or nervous, because that’s when you start making those mistakes.”

Free State’s biggest concern in the first round is containing Derby’s strong offense and speed on the base-paths.

Yet another basketball big man became available to colleges Wednesday when Kentucky junior Marcus Lee, a 6-foot-9, 225-pounder from Antioch, Calif., not only dropped out of the 2016 NBA Draft but also announced plans to transfer from the SEC powerhouse school.

Coaches from Kansas University, Iowa State, Baylor, Gonzaga and Georgia Tech were the first to reach out to representatives of Lee, according to Peegs. com.

Lee averaged 6.4 points and 6.0 rebounds a game last season. He hit 68 percent of his shots, 40.3 percent of his free throws. He had 59 blocks in 36 games.

“Marcus Lee informed us today that he is pulling his name out of the draft but has decided he is going to transfer to a school out west to be closer to his family,” K e n t u c k y Lee coach John Calipari said. “We talked it through together and discussed the team next season, which he said had no bearing on his decision. I also told him he was a semester away from graduating. With that said, he was still adamant that, after the (NBA) Combine experience (where he graded poorly), a year off and regrouping would be the best thing.”

Lee’s decision surprised pundits such as ESPN.com’s Chad Ford, who notes he will have to sit out a season in accordance with NCAA rules and not be part of the draft until 2018. Lee, according to the Lexington HeraldLeader, will be 23 on that draft day, just three months from his 24th birthday.

“In NBA Draft years, that’s old. You’re an old man,” Ford told the paper.

“It’s going to be tough road for him now.”

KU likely won’t have scholarship room for Lee if it lands two prospects it has been targeting in recruiting. The Jayhawks are in the final three (KU, Houston, Texas) for Jarrett Allen, 6-9 senior from St. Stephens Episcopal in Austin, Texas, and the final four (KU, Miami, Washington, USC) for Duke transfer Derryck Thornton, a 6-2 freshman point guard who played high school ball at Findlay Prep in Henderson, Nev. l

FREE STATE’S RONALD WHITE COMPETES IN THE 100-METER DASH at the Kansas Relays in this photo from April 22 at Rock Chalk Park.

White fired up for ‘singles’

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Since the seventh grade, Free State High senior sprinter Ronald White has focused most of his time on running track.

Beyond competing for the Firebirds each spring, White trains in the summer with an AAU program out of Topeka, running in meets across the Midwest.

All of that work culminated in a state championship last season in the Class 6A boys 4x100 relay, winning in 42.89 seconds alongside Avin

Lane, Nathan Thomas and Tyler Odell. But there was one thing missing for White: qualifying for state in an individual event.

Last year, White painfully missed out on qualifying in two events. He missed the cut for the 100-meter dash by 0.05 seconds and was 0.22 seconds away in the 200.

White didn’t leave anything to chance this season.

At regionals last weekend, he qualified for state in three events, finishing third in the 100 (11.29 seconds) and fourth in the 200 (23.02). The state meet begins at 8 a.m. Friday

at Wichita State’s Cessna Stadium.

“It still hasn’t clicked in, honestly,” White said. “Like, ‘Really? I made it to single events for once?’ It’s a really good feeling. I like it.”

The difficulty of the 100 is the effort it takes to shave time. A slow start or bad finish is all it takes to ruin a race. That’s why he likes the 200 better, because there’s a larger margin for error.

At the beginning of last season, White was running alongside Lane, a former Free Please see WHITE, page 3C

After making coaching stops at Lawrence High and Bishop Seabury Academy, Ted Juneau will head to his third high school in town.

Juneau was announced as Free State High’s girls basketball coach Wednesday night, replacing Bryan Duncan, who resigned in April after coaching the Firebirds for the last 14 seasons.

“It all happened pretty quickly,” Juneau said. “They wanted to visit about that situation and the opening they had. It intrigued me.

There are some opportunities to grow that program and continue to build on what coach Duncan has done. For me it was, maybe, one last challenge. I’m looking forward to that.”

During the past two summers, Juneau said he coached Free State seniorto-be Madison Piper, the school’s all-time leading scorer, in AAU basketball.

He also coached Piper’s father, Chris, at LHS when he led the Lions to a state championship in 1983.

Juneau is expected to meet with Free State basketball players today.

“We need to make sure we have kids that want to make that commitment to be a part of a good, strong basketball team and understand that it’s just not one person,” Juneau said. “Knowing Madison, one thing I know is she wants what is best for the team and the team to be successful. I look forward to doing that with her and the rest of the girls.”

Juneau spent the last two years coaching girls basketball at Seabury, leading the Seahawks to a 9-28 record.

He told his former Seabury players Wednesday that he was leaving for Free State, calling it “probably the hardest thing I had to do.”

“I thought our kids did well there,” Juneau said of his time at Seabury. “They bought in to what we were trying to do. They played hard every night. I think we gave them a good experience there, and we look to do the same thing at Free State — to bring a culture of hard work and being competitive and being accountable for how well we do on the floor and off the floor.”

Before Juneau’s time coaching the LHS boys in the 1980’s, he was the girls basketball coach at Topeka High. Juneau has spent time as an administrator at Tulsa University when Danny Manning was the men’s basketball coach, and Juneau has coached men’s basketball at Haskell Indian Nations University.

Cavaliers go up, 3-2

Cats back-to-back Villanova would have been down to just one returning starter had Hart and Jenkins decided that the win over the Tar Heels would be their last with the Wildcats. But Hart, Jenkins and Jalen Brunson give Villanova a veteran core that’ll make it among the early favorite for the national title.

The Wildcats are 97-13 since Hart and Jenkins joined the team back in 2013.

“Josh Hart did a great job in this process,” Villanova coach Jay Wright said. “I’m really proud of the way that he showed himself.”

Quack-tastic Oregon was hardly on anyone’s radar at the start of last season, but Brooks (16.7 points per game) and Dorsey (13.4) helped lead the Ducks all the way to the Elite Eight and both will be back.

Oregon should be the favorite to repeat in the Pac-12, especially after landing NJCAA player of the year Kavell Bigby-Williams, who averaged 16.8 points, 13.6 rebounds and 5.6 blocks per game in junior college last season.

Huskers’ White returning Andrew White III will return to Nebraska next season after removing his name from the draft. Coach Tim Miles said Wednesday night that White has decided to play his senior season with the Cornhuskers.

White submitted his name for the draft on April 21 and didn’t withdraw until hours before the deadline for underclassmen.

The 6-foot-7 wing tried out with the Utah Jazz, Detroit Pistons, Chicago Bulls and Boston Celtics before making his decision. White tweeted he had “very good performances and experiences through pre-draft but I will be doing one more year of college basketball.”

White, who sat out the 201415 season after transferring from Kansas, averaged 16.6 points and 5.9 rebounds last season.

HIGH SCHOOLS HUB:

Cleveland (ap) — Back home, the Cavaliers were not hospitable.

They rudely roughed up the Raptors again.

LeBron James scored 23 points then sat the fourth quarter, Kevin Love scored 25, and Cleveland unleashed tenacious defense on Toronto to regain control of the Eastern Conference finals with a 116-78 rout of the Raptors in Game 5 on Wednesday night.

On their court in front of 20,000-plus screaming fans following two straight losses in Canada, the Cavs opened a 34-point lead in the first half and never slowed while taking a 3-2 series lead.

They can clinch their second straight conference title and trip to the NBA Finals with a win in Game 6 on Friday night in Toronto.

“We ought to be able to transfer that on Friday,” James said. “Playing in that beast of an arena that we’re going to we got to be composed, we got to be tough, and we got to be sharp.”

The Raptors, who came in with momentum and confidence after winning Games 3 and 4, left Quicken Loans Arena shaken and one loss from having their deepest playoff run stopped.

“They kicked our butts, bottom line,” Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. “That’s been all three ballgames.”

James had eight assists and six rebounds in 31 minutes before checking out late in the third quarter with the Cavs up 37. He spent the fourth quar-

ter resting on the bench while Cleveland’s reserves finished the romp.

Kyrie Irving added 23 points, and he, James and Love outscored the Raptors 43-34 in the first half. Cleveland has won its three games in the series by a combined 88 points.

“They are a different team here,” Casey said. “We came in here with a chance to do something special and we didn’t get it done. They pushed us around and took what they wanted.”

DeMar DeRozan scored 14 points, and Kyle Lowry had 13 for the Raptors, who were overwhelmed from the start.

Bismack Biyombo had just four rebounds after getting 40 the past two games. The only positive for Toronto was center Jonas Valanciunas, who returned after missing eight straight games due to a sprained right ankle. He scored nine points in 18 minutes.

Playing defense as if every possession was the game’s last, Cleveland held Toronto to 34 points in the opening half while building a 31-point halftime lead — the largest in conference finals history.

Since their expansion arrival in 1993, the Raptors had never been down by 30 before in any game — regular or postseason — at halftime but they have

KU-hosted regional runs today-Saturday J-W Staff Reports

Kansas University’s men’s and women’s track and field teams will play host to the 2016 NCAA West Preliminary track and field championships today through Saturday at Rock Chalk Park.

letes here rank in the top 48 in their event in the country. One must finish in the top 12 out of 48 to qualify for the NCAAs. KU’s men’s team features 16 athletes, plus a 4x400 relay team, earning 17 entries in the meet.

The KU women feature 11 athletes and two relays, totaling 15 entries.

KU senior Daina Levy, who won the Big 12 hammer throw in 218 feet, 3 inches, will compete in the hammer at 4 p.m. today. She will throw the discus at noon Friday.

Junior Mitchell Cooper, who won the Big 12 discus (192-7), will compete in that event at 4 p.m.

Friday. Sharon Lokedi, who won the 10,000 at the Big 12, will compete at 9 p.m. today. Track events run from 4:309:40 p.m. today, 5-9:30 p.m. Friday and 6-9:45 p.m. Saturday.

SEABURY COACH TED JUNEAU LOOKS FOR A CALL during Seabury’s game against Veritas in this photo from Jan. 8 at Corpus Christi Catholic Church. On Wednesday, Juneau was named head girls basketball coach at Free State High.

“We certainly understand coach’s track record. His basketball experience and acumen speaks for itself,” Free State athletic director Mike Hill said. “The attractive thing with coach is the relationship he builds with kids. He was my history teacher 37 years ago, so I know first-

State sprinter, and Lawrence High senior JD Woods. Lane and Woods went 1-2 in the 100 at state, and White was left wondering what could’ve been.

White injured his groin during the Kansas Relays and gained 0.5 seconds — a ton of time in the 100 — when he returned to the track.

“It’s nothing big,” he thought to himself. “It’s going to come back.”

Eventually he started feeling like himself and worked his way to a state title in the 4X100 relay.

“I would say the most improvement I’ve seen in him is his team work and team attitude,” Free State coach Jordan Rose said. “I think that he has grown a lot as far as encouraging the other kids and making sure that they are taken care of — making sure that he is a good team leader.”

All of those near-misses last season led to this season’s success, making it extra special for White, who has signed to run at

like Lee, Newman might opt to transfer to another school. KU recruited Newman heavily out of high school.

“We have not spoken with Ben (Howland, MSU coach),” Horatio Webster, Newman’s dad, told The Clarion-Ledger.

“I mean, we don’t know if Ben’s got the same vision that we have. We

hand how he operates with kids. I think our girls will be really happy to play for him.”

Juneau said he tries to implement the same philosophy with each team he coaches: pressure defense and a fast-break offense.

“I’m looking forward to it,” Juneau said. “Now we just have to get the infrastructure in for the summer. It’s getting kids involved, and we have summer league that starts next week.”

“

He puts in work all year for this. He talks about track all of the time.”

— FSHS coach Jordan Rose, on sprinter Ronald White

The Firebirds will send out senior pitcher Hunter Gudde, who didn’t throw a pitch at regionals last week. For the past five weeks, he has pitched in relief, giving his team a dominant arm in late innings. Gudde tossed nine shutout innings in last year’s state tournament.

“He’s thrown in big situations, plus he’s very athletic off of the mound,” FSHS coach Mike Hill said of Gudde.

The Panthers (17-5) have won eight straight games, giving up two runs or fewer in their last seven. They lost in the first round of the state tournament last year, falling, 8-5, in 11 innings against Olathe South.

“Position by position, it’s hard for us to stack up athletically with them,” Hill said. “They’ve got some really good-looking kids that can run. I think their team speed is certainly that sticks out there. Very aggressive on the base-paths, and I think very aggressive at the plate. We’ve got our hands full trying to control them.”

Similar to Free State, Derby features a strong pitching staff. Senior Branson Bishop, junior Tanner Olmstead and junior Braden Ash have each pitched more than 30 innings this season and own earned-run averages below 2.00.

The Firebirds don’t know which pitcher they will face in the first round, but they’ve seen plenty of aces throughout the season, giving them confidence against anybody.

“I think we’ve seen everybody’s No. 1 guy,” FSHS center fielder Jacob Pavlyak said. “We’re used to seeing the best pitchers in the state. I think that’ll help us a bunch going into the game against Derby.”

Hill added: “They believe in themselves, and they should. They’re familiar with their surroundings and what they’re going into in terms of being in the state tournament and what it takes to win there. I think they are playing confident and free and easy, and that’s exactly where you want them.”

Allen Community College.

“I worked really hard this summer to at least get a PR or something higher like just be able to make it to state,” White said. “I’m really happy I got there.”

Rose added: “You always want to see something like that happen for a senior. He puts in work all year for this. He talks about track all of the time.”

Heading into the state meet, with more races to run than usual, White is excited and nervous. He’s seeded 13th for the 200 prelims and 15th in the 100. Only the top eight return to finals.

“My personal goal is to get into finals in the 100 or 200, or both would be nice,” White said. “Mostly for the 100, I want to be able to come out smooth and come out really good Class 6A State — have no butterflies.”

There’s going to have to be some talking going on.

Once we meet and talk, a decision will be made.

But right now he’s at Mississippi State.

“The fact that he was (projected to be) in the second round. I don’t think he did enough to move up, to move the meter. So we just thought him being a freshman, it would be wise to take his name out and go back to work on the things that he wasn’t really great at.”

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Royals fail to sweep The Associated Press

American League Twins 7, Royals 5 Minneapolis — The Kansas City Royals had the opportunity to turn a solid road trip into an excellent six-game stretch.

Dillon Gee didn’t hold up his end of the responsibility.

Miguel Sano hit the go-ahead, two-run home run in the fifth inning after Minnesota lost an early lead, and the Twins staved off another series sweep Wednesday by beating the Royals, 7-5.

Eduardo Nunez and Brian Dozier each homered, too, the first two batters to face Gee (1-2) and just the fifth pair in Twins history to go deep in their first two plate appearances of the game.

“You put your team behind the eight ball early, which isn’t a good feeling,” Gee said. “I just tried to battle out there.”

Tyler Duffey (2-3) gave away a 3-0 lead during a five-run fourth by the Royals, but the righthander hung around long enough to become the first Twins starter this season to record his second victory. The rotation has totaled six wins.

There were 11 pitchers in the major leagues with seven or more victories when the day began.

The Twins (12-34) have trailed at some point in all but two of their games this year. They were in trouble after Eric Hosmer hit a two-run double to halt a 2-for-22 slide, and the sizzling Salvador Perez tied the game with another double.

“Hos is one of the best players we got on this team,” manager Ned Yost said. “Every time he steps in that box, you expect something special to happen.”

Omar Infante added a two-out RBI triple and trotted home on Duffey’s wild pitch.
