Our elected officials: What kind of email do they use?

Both personal and government accounts used for public business

By Karen Dillon Twitter: @karensdillon

For months, Hillary Clinton has been under fire for her exclusive use of a private email account to conduct government business while she was U.S. secretary of state.

Earlier this month, Gov. Sam Brownback acknowledged that

he uses a private email account to communicate with staff and has done so since he was a U.S. senator.

In a survey of Lawrence-area elected officials, the JournalWorld found that many use government accounts and

some use personal accounts.

Lawrence Mayor Jeremy Farmer said he uses a Gmail account and was not aware that it could be a problem until recently.

“It is the same account that I had when I ran for City Com-

mission,” Farmer said. “City staff told me, ‘We could create you an account, or you could just use the one that you have.’

That’s really what everybody else does.

“Being a new person in politics, I had no reason to think

that a lawrenceks.org email address was better than a Gmail one,” Farmer said.

The concern over the use of private emails is twofold: One, government officials Please see EMAIL, page 4A

KIM MAPLES AND HER SON COREY, 11, BOTH OF EUDORA, attend a candlelight vigil Wednesday evening with dozens of others at Pet World, 711 W. 23rd St. The pet store on Monday was struck by a fire that killed many of the animals inside. The store has not released an exact number. Corey was a volunteer at the popular store and attended an animal camp there last year. The vigil ran from 8:20 p.m. until 8:47 p.m. with each of the 27 minutes signifying one year that the store was opened.

An investigation into the cause of the fire is ongoing.

Furloughs loom as budget crisis deepens

By Peter Hancock

Tax bill fails

Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — State officials in Kansas are making plans for mass furloughs of tens of thousands of workers – including many at Kansas University — unless lawmakers can pass a budget and a tax plan to fund it within the next week.

That’s because the state will officially run out of legal spending authority on July 1.

However, the first paycheck for state workers to be issued after that date will be for the two-week pay period that begins June 7. And unless lawmakers can agree

Senate President Susan Wagle, of Wichita, said that technically, lawmakers only need to pass a budget bill by June 6, and they can pass a tax bill to fund it later. But Brownback has reportedly

Lawrence school district readies $1.2M in reductions

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @conrad_swanson

The Lawrence school board approved a proposal to cut and reallocate more than $1.2 million in the district’s budget as a result of an expected decrease in state aid, said Lawrence schools Superintendent Rick Doll.

The proposal, which is for the upcoming fiscal year beginning July 1, is a “direct result” of Senate Bill 7, Doll said.

DaviD Wayne Parkinson A celebration of life will be held for Wayne at 2:00 on Friday, May 29th at First Presbyterian Church, 2415 Clinton Parkway in Lawrence.

Polly Q. SPencer Though little more than 5 feet tall, Polly Q. Spencer lived life large for 88 1/2 years until she passed away on May 24, 2015. No matter where she traveled or where she lived, she loved, laughed, and gave it her all.

Polly was born on October 6, 1926, to Orville Claude and Mary Etta (Madge) Quattlebaum in Independence, KS. She grew up in Independence and in Coffeyville. While still in high school, Polly began singing in a big band, with a vocal talent that she would share throughout her life. She attended Coffeyville Junior College and she worked as a journalist, a chemist, a medical receptionist, and a cooking instructor. But for most of her adult life, she devoted her time to her family and to volunteer work in her community.

Polly married Dr. Millard Spencer in Denver, Colorado. For many years they lived in Topeka, KS. While there, Polly was the first woman to be elected to the Vestry of Grace Cathedral. After fire destroyed the Cathedral, Polly headed the fundraising committee to rebuild, and she spearheaded a project to create Kansas- themed needlepoint kneelers.

She also was known locally for her cooking spots on local television and her gourmet cooking instruction through her business “Every Day, It’s Gourmet!” Always active in local theater, she was in several productions and organized fundraising shows for the medical auxiliary.

After their retirement, Mill and Polly relocated to Savannah, GA, where they enjoyed many years of beach-coming, golfing, and church activities.

They then moved to Greenville, SC, near one of their sons, golfing on Glassy Mountain and making new friends. In 2006 they moved home to Kansas, settling in Lawrence, near their daughter, Deb. Their last move brought them to Oklahoma City in 2011, to be close to their daughter, Marilyn, and her family. Following her husband’s death in 2012, Polly became active in the Oklahoma Senior’s Cabaret, performing for the past two years in

the annual show and in many smaller events.

She also sang frequently at Epworth Villa, where she resided. She found new friends and a new church at St. Augustine of Canterbury Episcopal Church.

Polly is survived by her five children: Marsha Sousa, Steve (Sarah) Crowder, Marilyn (Craig) Morris, Deborah (Susan Davis) Spencer, and Steve Spencer. She also leaves 11 grandchildren: Keane Crowder, Austin Sousa, Emily Sousa, Katherine (Matthew) Delvaux, Riley Morris, Kelsie Morris, Cooper Morris, Beth (Josh) Every, Micah (Laurel) Bacon, Jessica McMahon, Susie (Sonny) Sapra; and 5 great-grandchildren: Lily, Olivia, Kent, Ajay, and Jaya. Many nieces, nephews, and cousins were fortunate to share her life as well.

Polly and Mill traveled the world and made friends everywhere.

They shared their joy, humor, and love with everyone, and left their marks on our hearts.

Polly firmly believed that there was no difficulty that enough love could not conquer – no matter how deep the trouble, how hopeless the outlook, how muddled the tangle, or how great the mistake. Honor her memory by living your life in love and living it to the fullest.

A celebration of Polly’s life will be held Monday, June 1, at 2 pm at St. Augustine of Canterbury Church in Edmond. Donations in Polly’s memory may be made to St. Augustine of Canterbury Church, Oklahoma Senior’s Cabaret, or to the charity of your choice.

Arrangements are being handled by Corbett Funeral Home. A photo collection of Polly’s life is available at their website: w w w. c o r b e t t f u n e r a l . com/obituatires Please sign this guestbook at Obituaries.

ESU names interim business dean John Rich, professor of accounting and current associate dean in the School of Business, will become Emporia State University’s interim business dean July 1, the university announced.

Rich, who joined the Emporia State faculty in 1968, is the university’s

longest-serving faculty member.

Rich served as interim dean in 2012-2013 before Kristie Ogilvie was named dean. Ogilvie accepted a position at Meredith College and a national search will be launched to find her replacement.

People have signed up for those courses, so we need people to teach them, staff to get the classrooms ready.”

Rep. John Wilson, DLawrence, said the impact would also be felt beyond the university.

“We have a (Department of Children and Families) office here,” he said. “We also have a lot of employees who work for other state agencies.

It would have a noticeable impact in the lives of those employees. And the longer it goes on … it really affects people’s morale. State employees have been kicked around for quite a while.”

KU officials did not respond to telephone and email requests for comment about possible furloughs.

Emergency workers on Monday responded to a call just after 6 a.m. of a man, now identified to be Lautenschlager, bleeding outside the McDonald’s at 1309 W. Sixth St. After medics took the man to the hospital, police followed a blood trail back to a home at 700 Arkansas St., Lawrence police spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said Monday.

Police investigators remained at the home Monday and Tuesday. By Wednesday afternoon, yellow crime scene tape had been removed and no officers were seen in the area.

On Wednesday, Back led Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office deputies on a pursuit, but they “lost sight of him northwest of McLouth,” Murphree said.

Back was again found in Basehor shortly thereafter, and Basehor police and Leavenworth County Sheriff’s Office deputies chased after him.

Police identified Back as a suspect after investigating leads in the case, Murphree said.

Murphree said that Back eventually “voluntarily came to a stop outside Basehor near 158th Street and State Avenue,” where he was arrested “without incident.”

Back was to be transferred into the custody of Lawrence detectives and booked into the Douglas County Jail later Wednesday on suspicion of seconddegree murder and felony theft, Murphree said.

Lautenschlager had worked as an election judge, or poll worker, for Douglas County since 2012, according to county payroll records. Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew said Wednesday that the office staff “expressed some surprise” over the news of Lautenschlager’s untimely death. Shew said that though county poll workers receive stipends, he refers to them as volunteers because “people do it because they have a sense of civic duty.”

“We are a large county, but know our volunteers,” Shew said. “We work pretty closely with them, so you get to know them pretty well.”

Shew said that in addition to helping out at the polls, Lautenschlager “helped with some other election duties,” running errands and taking on other responsibilities.

“He was a person who was willing to go the extra mile and do what needed to be done,” Shew said.

Lautenschlager’s family could not be reached for comment Wednesday.

Anyone with information about this case is asked to call Lawrence police at 832-7509 or CrimeStoppers at 843-TIPS(8477).

Calls made to CrimeStoppers can be made anonymously. A reward of up to $1,000 is being offered by CrimeStoppers.

But officials are also warning lawmakers that if they want higher sales taxes to be part of that mix, they also need to act soon in order for a new tax rate to take effect by July 1.

Both the Senate bill that was debated Wednesday and the House bill that had been scheduled for debate today include raising the state sales tax rate from its current 6.15 percent, while slightly lowering the sales tax rate on food.

Furthermore, he said, under the multistate “streamlined sales tax agreement” that allows states to collect sales taxes on internet and mail order sales, new sales tax rates can only take effect on the first day of a fiscal quarter.

So if Kansas misses the deadline for a new tax to take effect July 1, it will have to wait until Oct. 1, which would reduce the amount of revenue the state would get.

Officials break ground on NBAF

Senate kills $496 million tax proposal

Master touch

By Bill Draper Associated Press

Manhattan — A $1.25 billion animal research facility in Kansas will fill a vital role in protecting the nation’s food supply while also providing a boost to the state’s economy, federal officials said Wednesday at a groundbreaking ceremony for the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility.

Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson and Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback were among dozens of state and federal officials who were at the NBAF site at Kansas State University to mark a milestone for the project, which will feature the nation’s most secure animal disease research lab.

“NBAF addresses a serious vulnerability, that biological or agricultural threats could have a substantial effect on the food supply of this nation and have serious public health consequences,” Johnson said.

Topeka — The Kansas Senate on Wednesday defeated a $496 million tax bill, sending Republican leaders back to the drawing board in search of a way to fill the state’s budget hole.

Despite the overwhelming, 30-1 vote against the package, Majority Leader Terry Bruce of Hutchinson said he gleaned some useful information from the lengthy debate over more than a dozen amendments that were offered on the floor.

“I don’t think a tobacco tax is very popular,” he said. “Obviously, they’re in favor of removing some

other portions of the bill they found objectionable such as the car tax. I think the overall posture of the Senate is that they’re not in favor of business income taxes.”

The complex bill included several moving parts, such as raising the state cigarette tax by 50 cents a pack, and changing the way motor vehicles are assessed for taxes.

It also would have raised the state sales tax to 6.5 percent, up from the rate of 6.15 percent.

But it would have lowered the sales tax on food to 6 percent.

‘Companies Cannot Buy State Employees,’ says KU in Art Hall open records case

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

Kansas University has reinforced its stance that business lecturer Art Hall’s emails are subject to the Kansas Open Records Act, no matter who’s bankrolling his salary.

At the end of the day, KU writes his checks, the university argued in a document filed this week in Douglas County District Court.

“Companies Cannot Buy State Employees — And Then Keep Their Work Secret,” reads one subheadline of a response filed on behalf of KU by attorney Michael Leitch. In conclusion, Leitch wrote, “Dr. Hall is a university employee at the KU Center (for Applied Economics), and his emails don’t become ‘private’ or ‘personal’ simply because a private company donates money the university then uses to pay him.”

KU’s filing mentions no specific company. However, Hall’s ties to Koch Industries prompted a student club to request his correspondence, among other records, from KU. Those records remain in limbo for now.

On Wednesday, Judge James

McCabria said he needed more questions answered before making a decision on whether the Open Records Act should apply to the records in question.

McCabria scheduled oral arguments for Hall early next month and, if the matter isn’t resolved sooner, a trial for November.

“There are facts that are in dispute,” McCabria said.

Hall has said that while he has nothing to hide, his emails should not be released because they are not subject to the Open Records Act. His arguments include that his position at KU is “self funded” and that the students’ records request aims to attack him politically and silence his speech.

Hall is founding executive director of the Center for Applied Economics, a public policy think-tank within KU’s School of Business, and has authored numerous publications on its behalf. Previously Hall was chief economist for the Public Sector Group of Koch Industries Inc. In fall 2014 Students for a Sus-

tainable Future, led by president Schuyler Kraus, paid KU nearly $1,800 to produce records it requested involving the hiring and correspondence of Hall and two other business school teachers.

Students for a Sustainable Future is part of a network of groups nationwide attempting to investigate the influence that brothers Charles and David Koch, conservative activist billionaires who own Wichita-based Koch Industries, have on academia.

KU turned over some records to the students and was poised to release more when, in December, Hall sued the university and the court blocked KU from doing so.

At Wednesday’s hearing, Kraus’ attorney, David Brown, urged the judge to decide to allow KU to turn over the records. Brown said his client should have had the records long ago, that her money to continue retaining him was limited and that further proceedings were an unnecessary delay.

Hall’s attorney, Curt Tideman, asked for oral arguments, saying there were new issues to flesh out further.

who use private emails may be conducting the public’s business out of public view. Last month, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt issued an opinion that state employees’ private emails are not subject to public open records laws.

Schmidt’s opinion only addressed state employees and not local elected officials. Schmidt has recommended that the Legislature change the open records act to include the emails, and two bills have been filed.

Secondly, the private email issue has caused concern for records preservation. State Archivist Matt Veatch said he and archivists around the country are having many discussions about it.

That’s because most govVeatch ernment records must be preserved and retained for a scheduled period of time, some into perpetuity. The records include letters, correspondence and emails on government servers, Veatch said.

Counties and cities have separate records retention schedules, Veatch said. State archivists have been collecting government emails, but the private email issue just surfaced in recent months, he said. After Schmidt’s announcement that private emails are not public, there has been some confusion, Veatch said.

“At this point I don’t

Legislators Some Lawrence-area elected officials are working to keep their government emails separate from their personal and business email. For example, state Rep. Tom Sloan, a Lawrence Republican, said when he is doing government work or dealing with constituents, he uses his state email account. He has a separate account for fundraising.

“It is the right way to do it,” Sloan said. “It’s like I don’t commingle campaign funds and personal funds. That to me is the way government officials are supposed to act.”

Sloan said he did not believe that the Legislature would be able to address the email issue this session with the financial problems it is facing, but expected it would be on the front burner during the 2016 session.

Rep. Boog Highberger, a Lawrence Democrat, said he supported legislation to extend the open records act to cover private email. He said when he was a member of the Lawrence City Commission there was lawsuit and a request for commissioners’ email. Because he was using a private email account, he had to go through and turn over email from it.

“This stuff is already discoverable, so why not make it public?” Highberger said.

the food sales tax even further, to 5.7 percent, passed with 27 votes. But Bruce said he didn’t put much stock in that vote because it was supported

by Democrats and conservative Republicans who probably will vote no on any final package.

Meanwhile, one of the most controversial measures called for temporarily re-imposing income taxes on nonwage income from more than 330,000 business owners in Kansas. Exempting that income from taxation was part of Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s massive income tax cutting package enacted in 2012.

In place of that exemption, nonwage business income would have been taxed at the lowest rate of 2.7 percent, but those business owners would receive a tax credit equal to 1 percent of their payroll.

Sen. Marci Francisco, D-Lawrence, successfully added an amendment to say that the tax credit would only apply to payroll for jobs actually located in Kansas.

Taxes as ‘legal plunder’ The bill survived one early challenge when Sen. Dennis Pyle, R-Hiawatha, offered an amendment to effectively kill the bill by striking its enacting clause. That motion formed an unusual alliance of hardline fiscal conservatives and most Senate Democrats, who supported killing the bill for different reasons.

Pyle referred to all taxes as a form of “coercion” and “a means of legal plunder,” adding, “I told people in my district that I would oppose any and all tax increases.”

But Sen. Tom Holland, D-Baldwin City, said he wanted to kill the bill because it leaves in place many of Brownback’s tax

She still does that today.

“I believe that part of our responsibility is to do things transparently, and we should be using for government business the public account,” Francisco said. “It is important to keep a record of what you are doing. Let me know if you want to see my email account.”

Rep. John Wilson, a Lawrence Democrat, said he keeps multiple email accounts for his work as a legislator, his work with a nonprofit agency, his political business and his personal life. The decision to do so was not difficult, he said.

“It’s a cut-and-dried thing,” Wilson said. “If you are conducting the official state business, I don’t care what email address you are sending from. It all needs to be a matter of public record.

Abundant transparency for the most part in government is a good thing for people of Kansas.”

He said he believed the email issue was a developing pattern and is disturbing because it is another way to disengage the public from the government’s business.

“This is yet another way to … make it harder for the average person to engage in lawmaking, and even if they don’t engage, at least for them to understand why decisions were made or how they were made or who is influencing them,” Wilson said.

“This bill does nothing to fix the structural deficiencies that have been introduced into our tax code as a result of Governor Brownback’s quixotic march to zero,” Holland said, referring to Brownback’s stated goal of eventually eliminating all income taxes.

The exemption of nonwage income is estimated to cost the state between $210 million and $220 million a year. Citing information from the Kansas Department of Revenue, Holland said that more than $80 million of that, or 42 percent, has gone to 0.65 percent of all tax filers.

— City Commissioner Leslie Soden

No end in sight Lawmakers are currently in the second week of overtime in the session, which was supposed to have ended by May 16.

But they cannot adjourn unless they adopt a budget for the new fiscal year that begins July 1, along with a tax plan to fund it.

The budget that House and Senate negotiators have tentatively agreed to calls for spending about $6.5 billion from the state’s general fund, about half of which would go to funding K-12 public schools.

But the most recent revenue projections estimate that total revenues for the year will be about $400 million below that.

The Kansas House had expected to take up its own, smaller tax bill today, but House leaders announced late Wednesday that they have postponed that debate.

joint study session: l City commissioners agreed to have City Hall staff work closely with the school board and administrators on issues regarding school zones and school crossing zones.

City engineers clarified to the group that the city does have school zones around all elementary schools in the city currently. But not all of those school zones include reduced speed limits.

City engineers said they have not reduced speed limits in all school zones because there are some elementary schools that have traffic signals and stop signs nearby that provide for safe crossing areas.

$10,000 in value to a home, the new property taxes on that $10,000 addition could be rebated at a 30 percent, 50 percent or some other level.

Some city commissioners said they were interested in exploring the possibilities.

“I love what you are saying,” Mayor Jeremy Farmer said. “We already have some low- to moderate-income neighborhoods identified in the city. Those might be a good place to start.”

Commissioner Leslie Soden, though, said she

had some concerns about whether such a tax policy would lead to widespread increases in property values in a neighborhood.

“I’m concerned about creating a tool that is going to drive gentrification,” Soden said. “That is a topic in my neighborhood. How do you keep this from driving other people out of their homes?”

Other commissioners said they wanted to hear from communities that have used the NRA program to boost neighborhoods and determine whether that has created

County, city officials Douglas County Commissioners Jim Flory, Mike Gaughan and Nancy Thellman said they use their county email as much as possible for county work and that transparency is an important part of government.

“I think we all are now communicating by email, and it is the normal everyday event,” Thellman said.

“We all have private lives, and it’s nice to know there is an avenue for private conversations. But I do think we need to be held to a standard that there isn’t any doubt about transparency when it comes to government work.”

Farmer said public and private emails are part of an evolving conversation on technology and that it is something the City Commission needs to discuss.

“I would absolutely be open if we want to set a policy for city commissioners that we want to be above-board and have all accounts that we use be public record ...” he said. “Put me down in the willing to get a city email account category.”

Commissioner Mike Amyx said he agreed with Farmer.

Commissioners Leslie Soden and Stuart Boley both use a lawrenceks.org account.

Soden said she has been a part of a couple of public records requests and thinks that using a government email account is just a better way to keep track of the public emails.

“I’m more in favor of public officials using them,” she said. “But I think it’s definitely something we should look at.”

Herbert said city attorney Toni Wheeler told him the city did not have a policy on private versus public email accounts and didn’t care what account the commissioner used.

But Herbert said Wheeler warned him that if he used a private account he needed to be prepared to release the email to the public upon request.

Herbert uses a Gmail account for government business but said he is careful what he writes.

“I don’t write anything that my Mom wouldn’t want to see on the front page of the newspaper,” he said.

BRIEFLY New strain of dog flu The committee plans to meet again in a week to can now be tested continue discussion of the

Kansas State University’s Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory can test for a new strain of canine influenza, or dog flu, that has infected more than 1,000 dogs in the Midwest since April, according to a news release Wednesday by the university.

The new strain of the virus has affected dogs in Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa and Ohio. So far, no cases have been reported in Kansas, according to the K-State diagnostic lab.

Symptoms may include coughing, runny nose and fever and typically develop two to four days after exposure, according to the news release. Symptoms can range from no signs to severe pneumonia occasionally leading to death.

A vaccine is available for the old strain, but K-State’s diagnostic laboratory is still researching whether it is effective on the new strain.

The Lawrence Humane Society began vaccinating its dogs in April.

For more information about canine influenza testing, contact the laboratory at 866-512-5650. For more information about canine influenza, visit cdc. gov/flu/canine.

Lawmakers OK new annexation rules Topeka — Kansas legislators have given final approval to a bill that would require cities to get approval from counties before annexing land in some cases.

The House approved the measure on a 106-7 vote Tuesday. The Senate approved the measure last week, and it goes next to Gov. Sam Brownback for his possible signature.

County commissioners would have to approve any proposed annexations by cities when the property is not adjacent to the city’s existing territory.

An earlier version of the bill was rejected by the House because of changes that would have required counties to approve all proposed annexations.

Westar to buy power from new wind farm Topeka — Westar Energy says it plans to buy energy from a new wind farm to be built in Pratt County.

The utility company announced Tuesday that it will buy the energy from a 200-megawatt farm built for it by an affiliate of NextEra Energy Resources.

The Ninnescah wind farm is to be built late this year or early next year and be operational by late 2016.

The company said in a news release that the new wind energy purchase will increase Westar’s renewable energy commitment to nearly 1,300 megawatts.

The project is expected to create about $300 million in capital investment and about 200 temporary construction jobs.

Dad’s brothers furious about hospice decision Dear Annie: My father was in prison for my entire childhood.

I am now 23 and have managed to build a good relationship with him since he was released two years ago.

Recently, Dad became very ill and stopped breathing. He was on life support for a week. Because I am his closest relative, I am in charge of his health care. I was told the damage was too severe and he would never recover. They expect him to die within weeks. When Dad woke up, I was given the option of making him “comfortable” with medicine that would eventually stop his breathing.

I want Dad to be happy in his last days, so I asked him what he wanted. He said he wanted to live with

me, so I brought him home, and he is in hospice care. Now his brothers are furious that I didn’t put him in a nursing home. They think he would get rehab there and be able to live a normal life again.

When my father was incarcerated, no one in his family made any effort to be in my life.

Dad told his brothers that he is prepared to die and wants to spend his last days with

’60s camp fills NBC miniseries NBC launches the 13-episode period miniseries “Aquarius” (8 p.m.). Set in Los Angeles in the late 1960s, it stars David Duchovny (”The X-files”) as police Sgt. Sam Hodiak, whose search for the missing daughter of a close friend leads him to cult leader Charles Manson (Gethin Anthony) and his murderous entourage.

The memorable music, outrageous hair and fashions and convulsive politics and culture of the decade make it catnip for screen dramatists.

But most evocations of the era end up looking like campy costume affairs. Perhaps that’s why the absurd “Austin Powers” movie series had the most fun and success reviving the period’s peculiar groove.

The masterfully done and just completed “Mad Men” explored the 1960s while wisely avoiding the shaggier aspects of the decade’s excesses. As the title implies, “Aquarius” plunges right into the deep end of the social revolution. And it’s all wet from the get-go.

From his haircut to his shoes, Duchovny is simply too cool to play the role of a straight cop in the Joe Friday mold. And you need a believable “square” to contrast with the “freaks” to make sense of the era’s tumult.

The most remarkable aspect of “Aquarius” is the way NBC is broadcasting the series — or not just broadcasting it. After tonight’s premiere, the entire 13-episode run will be available for streaming on NBC.com, NBC’s mobile app and other video-on-demand platforms. In other words, NBC is treating the series as Netflix might. It will also broadcast “Aquarius” in a traditional manner, week after week, on Thursday nights.

This way, it hopes to reach overlapping audiences.

Curiously, precisely at the time NBC is acting like Netflix, that streaming service is airing its drama “Between” in a more traditional manner, doling out episodes on a weekly basis.

The second episode of the series starring Jennette McCurdy is available on Netflix tonight (8:30 p.m. PST).

Tonight’s other highlights

A cookie-jar collector meets a grim fate on “Bones” (7 p.m. Fox).

A chance encounter with an unfortunate rattles Billy on “The Comedians” (9 p.m., FX).

BIRTHDAYS Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani is 71. Singer Gladys Knight is 71. Singer John Fogerty is 70. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., is 44. Pop singer Colbie Caillat is 30.

his daughter and his grandchildren.

Plus, a nursing home won’t treat him if he refuses treatment, and it isn’t likely to help him in any event. He suffered terrible brain damage when he stopped breathing.

But, Annie, his brothers are making my life terribly stressful. I have tried to explain to them that they can’t make him fight this battle, and sadly, they cannot fight it for him. I feel so overwhelmed. I am thinking of forcing Dad to go to a nursing home so his brothers will know he had every chance. But if he dies there (and he probably would), I will hate myself for not letting him live his remaining days the way he wants.

I don’t want to regret this decision forever.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, May 28: This year you might be inspired to produce something that can be put on display for the public or perhaps just your immediate circle. If you are single, romance will be a frequent visitor in your life. If you are attached, the two of you can be seen out and about during the summer.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Follow someone else’s lead, even if he or she suggests something that confuses you.

Tonight: Just say “yes” to an invitation.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You have ideas about what works, yet you rarely express them completely. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You might be feeling confused by someone you must answer to. Deal with what you know. Tonight: Cheer up a loved one.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You’ll be coming from an anchored point of view, but getting others to respond might be difficult right now. Tonight: The moment leads to a fun happening.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You might want to reorganize your schedule in order to make more time for a creative project. Tonight: Visit over dinner.

What do I do? — Your Happiness or His? Dear Happiness: As long as your father is capable of making this decision, please respect him enough to allow it. His brothers feel helpless, and that is why they are badgering you to put him in a nursing home. We urge you to have Dad’s doctors and someone from hospice speak to your uncles directly and explain the situation so they will understand more clearly what is at stake. Our condolences.

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

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Be aware of the costs of proceeding on your present course. A friend who means to be helpful just might not be. Tonight: Schedule some downtime.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You seem to be on the right path, despite a mild fog of confusion that surrounds you.

Tonight: Out late.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might choose to play it low-key right now. You’ll need some downtime. Tonight: Vanish into the night.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could have a difficult exchange with a partner who seems to want to shut you down.

Tonight: Accept an offer.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to let others run the show, especially as you recognize how complicated an issue seems to be. Tonight: A loved one reels you in.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Slow down and detach from the here and now. A friend could prove to be unhelpful.

Tonight: Make weekend plans.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Relate to a friend on a one-on-one level, as this person often supports you through difficult times. Tonight: Honor a sense of fatigue.

Busker Festival, Art Tougeau team up for one strange weekend in downtown Lawrence

By Joanna Hlavacek • Twitter: @hlavacekjoanna

T

hings got a little weird at Tuesday night’s City Commission meeting.

Citing “a car shaped like a phone,” a “street legal U.F.O.” and Lawrence’s general proclivity toward the odd, mayor Jeremy Farmer proclaimed May 29-31 as “The Official Weird Weekend.”

This weekend will host both the Lawrence Busker Festival and the Art Tougeau parade, a new partnership orchestrated by longtime Busker Fest director Richard Renner.

“I came to the city with that idea,” he says. “I thought, ‘Where else are you going to find a guy who can fit himself through a toilet lid and a car shaped like a boat?’ That’s not something you see every day.”

The Lawrence Busker Festival, now in its eighth year, is bigger than ever, Renner says.

In addition to the partnership with Art Tougeau, organizers have added more stages and performers to this year’s lineup. With more than 25 acts on the roster, the festivities will spread out over six sites in the downtown area, including stages for musicians, poets and magicians.

Renner also moved the festival from late August, partly so visitors could enjoy the

street performers without the sweltering late-summer heat.

“Originally, the reason we did it in August was to attract the college students to downtown. They didn’t show up, and it took us eight years to figure that out,” Renner jokes. “But who did show up were families and working adults. It made it pretty easy to make the move.”

This year’s Busker Fest kicks off with the Busker Ball tonight at the Granada Theater, 1020 Massachusetts St. From 7 to 9 p.m., visitors will have the chance to watch the festival’s “biggest and best” acts perform on stage and join them afterward for an informal meet-and-greet.

Tickets cost $8 for adults and $5 for children, and can be purchased at the Granada box office or on its website.

The festival proper will be Friday through Sunday in downtown Lawrence, where comedy contortionist Alakazam will make his Busker Festival debut.

Dubbed “The Human Knot,” the one-time grand finalist of “Australia’s Got Talent” mixes traditional vaudeville, circus sideshow and contorted comedy, and has performed at private events

He’s also one of Renner’s top picks.

“He’s been acknowledged as perhaps the best busker in the world. We’ve been trying to get him for a while,” says Renner, noting how the shift to May has made it easier to secure performers.

At noon Saturday, all manner of strange and innovative vehicles from Lawrence and across the country will descend upon downtown in the annual Art Tougeau parade.

Renner’s own creation, a four-wheel pedal car “made out of trash,” will be among those on display — “rain or whine,” he says.

He’s been working on the “Recycle Cycle” for about 15 years now, after finding the vehicle in a field of abandoned cars near Gardner. He’s since added bits and pieces (tin cans for headlights, a frying pan as a hubcap) and has entered his ride in Art Tougeau a handful of times.

Renner says he’s happy to bring the car back to the parade this year, even in the midst of juggling (pun intended) the logistics of the expanded Busker Festival.

“As if I needed something else to do,” he jokes.

Another look Lawrence city commissioners should invest the time and effort needed to come up with the best possible plan for new police facilities.

T

heir lack of support for additional study of police facility needs seems to imply that the Lawrence police chief and three city commissioners are satisfied to pursue essentially the same police headquarters plan that local voters rejected last year.

They may find a different location for the building, and they probably will try to find a way to finance the project that won’t require voter approval, but judging by the discussion at Tuesday’s Lawrence City Commission meeting, they seem to agree that the plan to build a single $28 million police headquarters is sound and isn’t worthy of any additional consideration. Only two commissioners — Leslie Soden and Stuart Boley — spoke in favor of appointing an ad hoc committee to take a broader look at police operations and staffing and see how those factors might impact planning for new department facilities.

There is no disagreement among commissioners or police officials that improved facilities are needed. In fact, many Lawrence residents who voted last November against the sales tax proposal to fund the police headquarters said they agreed improvements were needed, but, for a variety of reasons, they didn’t like the plan that was presented. On Tuesday, Chief Tarik Khatib blamed the election defeat on the fact that voters were upset with spending decisions made by the previous City Commission. That might have been one factor, but that doesn’t mean having a new commission move forward with essentially the same plan will make local taxpayers happy. Some voters didn’t like the proposed location or the overall price tag for the headquarters building. Still others were concerned with the lack of process to determine possible improvements to police operations that could be facilitated by the new headquarters building.

Khatib also said he remains firmly convinced that a single, new facility — not several smaller facilities scattered around town — is the best option for Lawrence.

Unfortunately, the chief isn’t the only person who should be convinced of that conclusion, and officials haven’t done a very good job of explaining how department leaders and their consultants arrived at that and other assumptions about the headquarters plan. Did they study what other departments are doing or quantify how local operations would be improved by a central headquarters, or did they just look at how much space they needed or wanted?

It’s understandable that the chief wants to have better facilities as soon as possible, but planning a new police headquarters is an opportunity not only to have a new building but also to take a look at how the Lawrence police operate and how they might operate better. Police departments across the nation are taking a second look at their overall approach to policing. Khatib himself ordered his officers to read the U.S. Department of Justice report on events in Ferguson, Mo. Is there nothing in that report that might suggest adjustments for Lawrence police operations that should be considered in the planning of a new headquarters?

“I don’t know what kicking this issue around more is going to do,” Khatib said Tuesday night. Maybe nothing, or maybe having an ad hoc committee take a broad look at police facilities and operations will lead to a facilities plan that is more innovative, more focused on police operations, more economical and more acceptable to local taxpayers.

It’s worth a try.

Social conservatism is ‘us vs. them’ For all the decades of its existence, American social conservatism has been rooted in a premise simple enough to be fully expressed in just three words: Us versus them.

As in, an implicit promise to defend the former against the latter. This was its mission when it pushed for immigration quotas in the 1920s, when it animated the Red Scare of the 1950s, when it defined civil rights as a clear and present danger in the 1960s, when hardhats rioted against hippies in 1970. It is its organizing principle even today, as red states pass legislation to protect themselves from Sharia law and some of us define religious persecution as baking a cake for a same-sex couple.

Us versus them.

Always, social conservatism defined “them” as something faceless and frightening against which the rest of “us” must struggle with everything we had, or else be overrun. It is an ideology that has contributed virtually nothing of value to the life of the nation — unless you count mindless panic as a good thing.

So one is gladdened by signs of its decline.

There have been many

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

Gallup’s numbers suggest more Americans are seeing through this con job, this appeal to their basest selves.” such signs in recent years, but one of the most compelling is found in a new Gallup survey. According to the venerable polling company, just 31 percent of all Americans now identify themselves as social conservatives. That’s the lowest number in the 16 years Gallup has been tracking that question. It also marks the first time social liberalism has pulled even: 31 percent of Americans now identify with that ideology. For social conservatives, the decline has been precipitous: As recently as 2009, their share of the electorate was 42 percent.

And here, let us reiterate what we are not talking about. We are not talking about fiscal conservatism, which seeks to rein in government spending. We are not talking about foreign policy conservatism, which demands that America deal with its opponents from a position of toughness and strength. Nor are we talking about small government conservatism, which considers Washington a maze of needless regulation and oversight.

Each of those ideologies has its virtues and failings, but they are not our topic today. Today, we are talking about the conservatism of us versus them.

One suspects it has been, in some sense, a victim of its own success. Social conservatism’s attraction has always lain in its appeal to simplicity. It says: Forget nuance, complexity and all the historical, political and socio-economic realities that make the world what it is. Forget compassion and the burden of shared humanity. Those people over there are the cause of all your troubles. That tribe is the one you should fear.

Such thinking has always enjoyed a measure of acceptability. It probably always will; for some of us,

it is intellectual comfort food. But in recent years, that ideology has risen to a high water of visibility and political potency it has not enjoyed since the 1950s.

The unintended byproduct is that we have been able to see very clearly what that rhetoric looks like in practice.

Turns out it looks like the outlawing of ethnic studies classes. And restrictions on contraceptives. And demonized Muslims. And scapegoated gay people. And the erosion of civil rights. And guns everywhere. Turns out it looks like an Arizona state lawmaker who wants to make church mandatory.

Gallup’s numbers suggest more Americans are seeing through this con job, this appeal to their basest selves. They suggest the GOP, held in willing thrall to this dead-end thinking for years, may now have a chance to break free. Indeed, if the numbers continue in this direction, it may have no other choice.

Or so we should fervently hope. We know, after all, through bitter experience what happens when you pit us against them.

Nobody wins.

Opinions were divided on the sales prospects for the 0.5 peryears cent alcohol beers ago a new Kansas law IN 1990 was allowing liquor stores and clubs to sell in Kansas. Owners of two wholesale beer distributors in Lawrence were in favor of the new products, saying they would suit people who wanted to drink socially without becoming intoxicated. However, some liquor store and bar owners said that although they would carry the low-alcohol beers, they didn’t really expect them to sell very well.

Fitting tribute

Failed experiment

To the editor: Yesterday I watched a TV program about the evacuation of Saigon, followed by two Memorial Day concerts/tributes to our servicemen and women. As I watched and thought about all the sacrifices these people and their families have made for the good of our country, for all of us who live here, and for humanity worldwide, I wondered just what it would take for our elected representatives to put aside their egos and their partisan differences and come together to enact laws for the betterment of our country. Perhaps they could start with ensuring that all veterans have the care and treatment (medical, psychological and social) that they need upon returning from the wars into which they have been sent. Any takers, Congress?

Lynne Bodle, Lawrence

To the editor: The great supply side experiment in Kansas has derailed. Rather than admitting the reality, the experimenters are doubling down by raising all sorts of taxes (albeit different ones) and borrowing heavily from our children to replenish the needed state revenue lost to that experiment.

You would think this outcome would have been apparent in the beginning. With a national economy stagnated by regulation, income transfer and increased employee expenses (real and imagined), how could Kansas (with our small economy) hope to buck that trend? What business owner would reinvest any tax subsidy in growth given the uncertainty such a perception engenders? It appears the market may have been the primary repository of our largess, not new jobs.

Mr. Brownback and company have lost big time to Mr. Obama and his minions. Of course the people of Kansas (most of them) have had to go along for the ride. It would appear the experiment is now reduced to a simple transfer of our state income stream from mid-level businesses and wealthy individuals to lower-income workers.

It will take years to fix this mess while Mr. Brownback opines in a cushy job back in Washington. Maybe we can help by electing moderate Republicans and Democrats here in Kansas!

George Lippencott, Lawrence

Assertion questioned To the editor: Jana Rea is opposed to the Justice Matters ministry recently announced in Lawrence. In her letter of disapproval and opposition she includes the following: “Liberty and socialism do not align. Neither does the gospel and social justice.” (Journal-World, May 23) With all due respect, Ms. Rea, have you read any portion of the gospel to which you refer? If so, it is all the more incredible that you can make such an assertion. The overriding message of the gospel is in fact social justice, as derived from the Pentateuch and the ancient prophets. Furthermore, I would offer the opinion that socialism and liberty are very much in alignment. Perhaps socialism strives for liberties to which you do not subscribe.

Lawrence teachers facing a jobless summer were able, for years the first time, to ago apply for unemIN 1975 ployment benefits this year.

Teachers had been covered under a federal law passed in December which had allowed persons to file claims even though their former employers hadn’t been paying unemployment taxes. This included farm workers, household workers, and state and city government employees. Whether the teachers’ claims would be approved was still up in the air.

From the Lawrence Journal-World for May 28, 1915: years “Possibly the ago heaviest rainfall IN 1915 in any one month for several years has fallen so far this month.

The weather department at the University made the announcement this morning that there has been 12.92 inches of rainfall. The largest rain was that which occurred yesterday afternoon when 2.80 inches of rain fell in about two and one-half hours. ... The ground has been thoroughly soaked until it will hold no more water and all that falls now will have to find escape through the streams, giving greater rise to all of them.... About two hundred feet of the Union Pacific tracks between Lawrence and Leavenworth were overturned late yesterday afternoon by the torrent of water.... The line between Lawrence and Ottawa has also suspended operations.... The rain yesterday was the heaviest that most of the old settlers here have ever seen. Many say they never saw a harder rain when the water stood so high in the street. “ — Compiled by Sarah St. John

chael Williams, incoming KU University Senate president and an associate professor of journalism. “We are not blindly accepting this.”

KU administration and the Kansas Board of Regents told the JournalWorld last week they are considering how to implement the new law, but neither shared plans. For now, KU has no-guns-allowed signs on its buildings.

Gov. Sam Brownback signed a law in 2012 allowing concealed-carry permit holders to take guns in public buildings that don’t have certain

security measures, such as metal detectors and trained guards. Universities and many other public entities got a four-year exemption.

As of July 1 this year, under another law signed this spring, Kansans no longer need permits to carry concealed weapons.

The weapons committee will be composed of three faculty, three staff and three student members, the University Senate Executive Committee agreed Wednesday.

main open, Doll said class sizes should not increase.

Teachers may have to be moved between schools to accommodate the fluid numbers of student enrollment, Doll said. But in all, the student-to-teacher ratio should stay the same.

Rep. Dennis Highberger, D-Lawrence, said the district’s budget cuts are the “inevitable result” of the state’s reduction in education funding. Those results will be worse in the future, he said.

“Tax burdens will be shifted to local governments, class sizes will increase, and already hardworking staff will be asked to take on even more responsibilities,” he said.

The proposal is by no means final, said Shannon Kimball, president of the school board. Because the Kansas Legislature has not yet passed a budget, the board is not yet sure just how much funding to ex-

pect this year.

“At this point we’re just waiting for the Legislature to pass a budget and appropriate the money for the block grant bill,” Kimball said. “Until they do that, we’re still kind of waiting in limbo.”

Both Doll and Kimball said if the Legislature doesn’t fully fund the block grants the district may have to make more cuts.

“If they fund the block grants as it’s presently proposed, we think these budget reallocations will be sufficient to get us through the next year,” Doll said.

“We’re crossing our fingers that the Legislature does what they’ve promised so we don’t have to go any further with our budget cuts,” Kimball said.

Over the coming months, the budget proposal will be scrutinized further, Doll said. The final budget will be approved in August.

committee to address the issue of concealed guns coming to KU’s campus.

University Senate leaders said their hope was that an ad hoc weapons committee would mobilize lobbying against a state law that will allow concealed weapons on campus beginning in 2017 in hopes of getting it changed or extending KU’s exemption.

Acknowledging that changing the law would be challenging, the committee also will be tasked with communicating and establishing protocols to make campus as safe as possible.

“We need to develop some ways to inform our colleagues and peers about what to do when this comes to pass, if it comes to pass,” said Mi-

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback in March, repealed the Kansas school finance formula that had been in place since 1993 and replaced it with a block grant system.

In effect, the bill decreases the amount of funding the district receives from the state over the next two years, Doll said.

The board, which met Tuesday, was able to avoid layoffs and program cuts in its proposal, Doll said.

The bulk of the cuts can be made up by opting not to fill open positions made vacant by attrition.

Duties assigned to the positions that will not be filled will have to be redistributed among remaining staff members, Doll said.

“It’s not like it’s painless; there’s pain involved,” he said. “Somebody else is going to have to do their job.

But it’s a little less painful in that we don’t have to walk up to someone and say, ‘You don’t have a job anymore.’”

Blatter, FIFA finally will be forced to face the music Christine Brennan

cbrennan@usatoday.com USA TODAY Sports

We call it soccer. They call it football. It’s the most beloved sport in the world; not here, of course, but almost everywhere else. The sweep and power and depth of soccer, and its leaders, has always been unmatched. FIFA, the sport’s international federation, could allegedly take bribes and launder money and wheel and deal and plunder the sports landscape at will. There

was no one with the fortitude to stop it.

Until early Wednesday morning.

In a surprise raid on a fivestar hotel in Zurich that led to the arrest of seven worldwide soccer executives who meekly hid behind white hotel bedsheets as they were being taken away, their comeuppance complete, we realized there is some-

thing even more powerful than the world’s favorite sport.

It’s the U.S. Department of Justice, working in concert with the FBI. Finally, FIFA has met its match. Sepp Blatter, meet Loretta Lynch, the new U.S. attorney general. She’s the person who announced the biggest corruption bust in the history of sports in New York hours after the raid in Switzerland.

So far Blatter, FIFA’s longtime president, has been neither indicted nor arrested. But the investigation is young.

WASHINGTON The Justice Department’s corruption inquiry into organized soccer has deep roots in the USA. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Wednesday that suspects in the $150 million bribery scheme met in this country often to plan their illicit activities and used U.S. banking institutions and domestic wire transfers to distribute giant bribe payments.

Describing the alleged wrongdoing as “rampant, systemic,” Lynch said the actions spanned two generations of soccer officials abroad and in the USA who “abused their positions of trust to acquire millions of dollars in bribes and kickbacks.”

“They planned to profit from their scheme, in large part,

through promotional efforts directed at the growing U.S. market for soccer,” Lynch said.

The attorney general, a month into her term as the nation’s chief law enforcement officer, specifically highlighted the operation of the U.S.-based Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football or CONCACAF, a powerful subsidiary of soccer’s international governing body FIFA, whose member countries include the USA. The group’s top leaders, according to court documents, played major roles in soliciting and accepting bribes related to the selection of host nations for the 1998 and 2010 World Cup tournaments.

Federal agents searched CONCACAF’s Miami headquarters Wednesday morning as Lynch announced the sweeping 47-count indictment that rocked the sports world.

Swiss authorities arrested seven of the suspects at a Zurich hotel Wednesday where they were gathered to attend FIFA meetings.

IRS suspects Russians are behind computer breach Agency was warned of risks since 1997 Kevin McCoy USA TODAY

Government monitors repeatedly warned of IRS computer security risks long before Tuesday’s disclosure that identity thieves, believed to be from Russia, had stolen tax agency data for roughly 100,000 U.S. households.

At least seven federal audits and other reports from 2007 to 2014 outlined dangers that ranged from failures in IRS data-

base controls to hiring an ex-con without a background check and failing to screen for other workers who had access to personal data for millions of taxpayers.

The IRS suspects the thieves were in Russia, based on computer data about who accessed the information, the Associated Press reported, citing two agency officials briefed on the matter.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the investigation.

The information was stolen as part of a scheme to claim fraudulent tax refunds, the AP says.

An October 2014 report by the

Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, the government monitor for the nation’s tax agency, says, “Computer security has been problematic for the IRS since 1997.”

So problematic that TIGTA has ranked security for taxpayer data and IRS employees as among the tax agency’s top management challenges every year at least since 2004.

The U.S. Government Accountability Office separately warned last year that despite IRS computer security improvements, “weaknesses remain that could affect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of financial and

sensitive taxpayer data.”

Shortcomings identified by the GAO included the IRS’ failure to restrict physical access to computer resources, along with the use of weak encryption for authentication on many of the tax agency’s computer servers.

The IRS agreed with many of the findings and said corrections

would be made. However, tax agency officials have contended that IRS budget cuts have made it harder to implement upgraded security safeguards.

The IRS issued security configurations for its databases in March 2006, TIGTA said. About a year later, auditors tested security controls on 17 databases from eight tax administration applications. “Collectively, these databases failed 30% of our tests,” the TIGTA audit concluded. The IRS agreed with audit recommendations, but a subsequent audit in May 2011 said auditors “could not determine if the weaknesses were entered, addressed, or closed.”

ganization in crisis, and we have already reached out to its representatives this morning to ensure that the people of integrity who work there know that we stand ready to work with them to reform their practices in the wake of the actions we are taking today,” Lynch said.

The federal indictment represents perhaps the deepest examination of global sporting institutions by U.S. authorities since a Justice Department bribery investigation into the International Olympic Committee’s decision to award the 2002 Winter Games to Salt Lake City.

Of the 14 defendants named Wednesday, three are charged as U.S. citizens or legal residents.

Two other U.S. citizens and a U.S.based corporation, Traffic Sports USA, pleaded guilty to crimes ranging from wire fraud and money laundering to income tax evasion and obstruction of justice. Those guilty pleas had been

sealed until Wednesday when the original charges were made public.

Federal investigators traced the beginnings of the alleged illegal enterprise back nearly 25 years to the rising fortunes of Jack Warner, 72, a legal resident of the USA and citizen of Trinidad and Tobago, who held influential positions with FIFA and was a longtime president of CONCACAF, retiring in 2011.

Beginning in the early 1990s, according to court documents, “Warner ... began to leverage his influence and exploit his official positions for personal gain.”

“Among other things, Warner began to solicit and accept bribes in connection with his official duties,” the court documents state.

Those activities, while he was a member of the FIFA executive committee, related to the selection of the host countries for the 1998 and 2010 World Cup tournaments.

Federal prosecutors outlined an extraordinary scenario they said took place before the selection in 2010 of South Africa as the World Cup host: Warner allegedly entertained competing bribes in exchange for his vote and that of a co-conspirator.

In 2004, according to court documents, an unidentified member of the Moroccan bid committee offered to pay Warner $1 million for his vote. Later, Warner allegedly accepted a $10 million offer from a group that included members of the South African government and the South African bid committee, agreeing to provide $1 million of the payment to a co-conspirator.

that their work is not over, that “this is the beginning, not the end.”

It is both fascinating and fitting that it would be the United States, a nation that doesn’t care as much about soccer as so many others, to be the one to take on the task of bringing down what Lynch and other top U.S. law enforcement officials described as international sport’s version of organized crime, mob bosses and all.

Not only did the illegal and unethical activities — the money laundering and bribery and fraud and whatnot — go on through U.S. financial institutions, it’s also true that the United States is not beholden to soccer the way so many other countries are. A show of hands, please, if you’ve ever even heard of Blatter. Most soccer-loving nations probably know him better than their own president or prime minister. Here, almost no one knows him at all.

True soccer nations live in awe, and fear, of the power of Blatter and FIFA to control

their national sport and all the companies and livelihoods linked to it. Not Americans. We have far too many other sports we care about, several that are far more interesting to us than soccer, chief among them our football. Would Brazil investigate FIFA? Germany? Italy? Argentina? Of course not.

So it’s left to the relative newcomers to the game to try to clean it up for the rest of the world. If Americans have thought about the leadership of international soccer at all in this country, we’ve most likely pictured it in these terms: Big egos, big money, big corruption.

For those who recall the Salt Lake City Olympic bribery scandal from the late 1990s, here’s a way to gauge the scope of this new, $150 million scandal: Salt Lake City is a kindergarten class. FIFA is an Ivy League PhD program.

This couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch than Blatter and his soccer boys. And I do mean boys. International football is a sport that has always considered women to be second-class citizens, to the point

that FIFA refused to install real grass in the stadiums of Canada for next month’s Women’s World Cup, making the women play on artificial turf — something it never would have forced on the men.

So now here’s that sport, taken apart piece by corrupt piece, by a U.S. team led by a woman.

The most important man is still Blatter, who was planning to be re-elected to a fifth term as FIFA’s big cheese on Friday, at meetings in the hotel that all of a sudden turned into CSI: Zurich. The certainty of these FIFA elections would make Stalin proud, but now it’s difficult to imagine the election going forward as planned.

Then again, Blatter would be the first to tell us he is innocent, at least for now, unlike quite a few of the sycophants and cronies in his inner circle. Based on what we now know from the authorities, he apparently had no idea what had been going on for decades in his organization.

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.”

The great Oz has spoken.

Happy election week, Sepp.

IN BRIEF NEBRASKA LAWMAKERS REPEAL DEATH PENALTY

Nebraska repealed the death penalty Wednesday when state lawmakers voted to override Gov. Pete Rickett’s veto.

The Legislature managed to restore passage of a repeal bill by the slimmest of margins. A veto requires at least 30 of 49 senators to overturn a gubernatorial veto, and exactly 30 lawmakers did just that. Nebraska joins 18 other states and Washington, D.C., in banning capital punishment.

“My words cannot express how appalled I am that we have lost a critical tool to protect law enforcement and Nebraska families,” the governor said in a statement.

“While the Legislature has lost touch with the citizens of Nebraska, I will continue to stand with Nebraskans and law enforcement on this important issue,” Rickett said.

to raise the payment from government funds, according to court documents, three separate payments totaling $10 million were diverted to an account controlled by Warner from FIFA funds designated to support the World Cup in South Africa.

In early 2008, prosecutors allege, the payments were routed from a FIFA account in Switzerland to a Bank of America account in New York. Late the same year, Warner allegedly made three wire transfers totaling $750,000 to the co-conspirator, $250,000 short of his alleged deal to share $1 million of the $10 million bribe payment. In the “early 2000s,” the court documents say, bundles of U.S. currency were arranged in “$10,000 stacks” in a Paris hotel room, ready for pickup by a Warner associate.

Neither Warner nor his representatives could be reached for comment Wednesday. In a statement obtained by the Associated Press, Warner, a member of the Trinidad and Tobago Parliament, said he is “innocent of any charges.”

“I have been afforded no due process, and I have not even been questioned in this matter,” he said. “I have walked away from the politics of world football to immerse myself in the improvement of lives in this country where I shall, God willing, die.”

Two of Warner’s sons, identified by federal authorities as Daryll and Daryan Warner, were among those who pleaded guilty.

Jack Warner’s activities allegedly were part of a series of transactions routinely involving sixand seven-figure payments provided to soccer officials for their cooperation on venue votes, along with media and marketing rights over years outlined in court documents.

“The defendants fostered a culture of corruption and greed that created an uneven playing field for the biggest sport in the world,” FBI Director James Comey said Wednesday. “Undisclosed and illegal payments, kickbacks and bribes became a way of doing business at FIFA.” Kelly Currie, the acting U.S. attorney in Brooklyn who helped manage the case, said the investigation remains active. “After decades of what the indictment alleges to be brazen corruption, organized international soccer needs a new start — a new chance for its governing institutions to provide honest oversight and support of a sport that is beloved across the world, increasingly so here in the United States,” Currie said. “Let me be clear: This indictment is not the final chapter in our investigation.”

FIFA President Joseph “Sepp” Blatter described the enforcement actions taken by the United States, along with Swiss authorities, as “a difficult time for football, the fans and for FIFA as an organization.”

“As unfortunate as these events are, it should be clear that we welcome the actions and the investigations by the U.S. and Swiss authorities and believe that it will help to reinforce measures that FIFA has already taken to root out any wrongdoing in football,” said Blatter, who was not named in the criminal actions.

A federal judge has ordered the State Department to release emails from the private account of former secretary of State Hillary Clinton in batches every 30 days beginning June 30.

Under Wednesday’s order, the last of the emails will be released at the end of January. The court order is in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed

by Jason Leopold of Vice News, which sought the release of all of Clinton’s emails, along with other documents, from her tenure as secretary of State.

The State Department says about 55,000 pages of emails Clinton turned over to the agency from her private account need to be reviewed before made public.

Nearly 300 emails related to the 2012 attack on a U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, that left four Americans dead were released Friday.

NATION/WORLD

Trumka has a warning for Clinton The nation’s most powerful labor leader, vowing to defeat President Obama’s key trade legislation in the House next month, warned Hillary Clinton of serious political consequences if she fails to take a stand against the Pacific trade pact that the president is campaigning for as a major part of his legacy.

Richard Trumka, president of the AFL-CIO, predicted that no more than 20 House Democrats would vote for Trade Promotion Authority, the “fast-track” bill that on Friday passed the Senate.

“Thirteen Democrats left their base,” he said of the Senate vote in an interview with Capital Download. “They decided to pass something that was going to cost jobs and lower wages, and they’re going to have to answer to their constituencies for that.” He addWASHINGTON

ed: “They’ll be held accountable; there’s no question about that.”

Organized labor has been waging a fierce battle against the legislation, which would require Congress to approve or reject without amendments the TransPacific Partnership, a trade deal among the United States and 12 other Pacific Rim nations. Many labor unions have frozen campaign donations as they lobby against it.

The battle between two customary allies — a Democratic president and the country’s biggest labor federation — underscores the complicated politics of Obama’s attempts to pass legislation through a Republican-controlled Congress during the final two years of his tenure. It also exposes challenges ahead for Clinton, who praised the emerging Pacific pact as “the gold standard” in her memoirs as secretary of State but has avoided declaring her view of it since becoming a presidential candidate.

“Unfortunately, it falls far short of being the gold standard,”

“I wish (President Obama) would have fought for some of the things that are needed as hard as he’s fighting for fast track and TPP.” JACK GRUBER, USA TODAY

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka says if Hillary Clinton backs the trade pact, there will be costs.

Trumka told USA TODAY’s video newsmaker series in an interview at AFL-CIO headquarters, just across Lafayette Square from the White House. “It’s not gold, because it’s going to cost us jobs and it’s going to lower wages.”

Trumka said he didn’t know where Clinton now stood on the issue. “She’s going to have to answer that,” he said. “I think she won’t be able to go through a

Richard Trumka, AFL-CIO president

campaign without answering that.” If Clinton backs the trade pact and the fast-track authority, there will be costs, he cautioned.

“It will be tougher to mobilize working people. It’ll be tougher to get them to come out excited and work to do door-knocking and leafleting and phone-banking and all the things that are going to be necessary if she is the candidate and we endorse her to get elected.”

It even is conceivable that the AFL-CIO wouldn’t endorse a presidential candidate, he said, “if both candidates weren’t interest-

ed in raising wages and creating jobs.”

Asked whether Obama’s presidency had been good for working Americans, Trumka paused.

“The president’s been seriously handicapped in his ability to deliver things for the American public, because you’ve got a determined opposition in the Republican Party that will actually hurt the country to deny him a victory,” he began. But, he added, “I wish he would have fought for some of the things that are needed as hard as he’s fighting for fast track and TPP.” In the Senate vote, Trumka said he was surprised to have lost the support of Democratic senators Benjamin Cardin of Maryland, Chris Coons of Delaware and Patty Murray of Washington state. When the interviewer commented that it’s hard to defeat a president, he replied, “We’ll see.”

Texas rain won’t stop; breaks the May record as floods swamp the state At least five have been killed and many stranded

Larry Seward and Jeremy Rogalski KHOU-TV, Houston

HOUSTON This city is struggling to regain its footing after flooding killed at least five people, damaged thousands of structures and stranded thousands on inundated roads.

Starting midnight on Tuesday, new storms dropped about 2½ inches of rain in north and northwest Harris County, where Houston is located.

In total, 19 people — 15 in Texas and four in Oklahoma — have

died since Friday from the most recent storms. The toll includes Michelle Marie Carey-Charba, 43, one of eight family members missing since their house was swept into the Blanco River in Wimberley, Texas.

“Our sympathies go out to the families of those we know we have lost,” Houston Mayor Annise Parker said.

Two people were missing after their rescue boat flipped on Brays Bayou following torrential rains.

Fire Capt. Ruy Lozano said rescue crews have been searching the bayou by water and air.

Texas broke a record for rain

this month, and rain remains in the forecast for the much of the state until June, the state climatologist said Wednesday.

An average of 7.54 inches already has fallen over the state in May, breaking the previous record of 6.66 inches set in June 2004, according to state climatologist John Nielsen-Gammon.

The wettest area has been DallasFort Worth to the Red River, which has received more than 20 inches of rain, he said.

Firefighters in the Houston area answered 2,300 calls for help Tuesday, and at least 2,500 drivers abandoned their vehicles.

“People, they just don’t anticipate how deep that water really is,” Houston Police Cpl. Kate Truhan said.

On Wednesday in Millsap, Texas, authorities ordered the evacuation of some 350 homes because of expected flooding.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has declared 46 counties in central Texas as state disaster areas. Many areas expect to see scattered thunderstorms for at least the next five days.

Sorry, Santorum. With a deep bench, no next-guy-in-line this time Susan Page @susanpage USA TODAY

Former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum announced his bid for the Republican presidential nomination Wednesday with a reminder that, the last time around, he finished as the runner-up to the nominee.

In five of the past six open nomination battles in the GOP, being the next-guy-in-line has been a recipe for winning the party’s bid.

But probably not this time.

In 2016, Republicans’ success in building a deep bench of officeholders in the Senate and stateWASHINGTON

The 2012 GOP field was big, but the 2016 field is bigger — indeed, big enough to strain the limits of the debate stage with more credible nominees. houses, plus a belief that history is on the GOP’s side, has created the party’s most muscular presidential field since the modern nomination process began.

The 2012 GOP field was big, but the 2016 field is bigger — indeed, big enough to strain the limits of the debate stage — and includes more contenders who could be seen as credible

nominees.

In that race, the only current officeholders in the mix were two House members who generally were seen as being on the fringe — Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and Ron Paul of Texas — plus Texas Gov. Rick Perry.

This time, three sitting senators have announced their campaigns — Ted Cruz of Texas, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Marco Rubio of Florida — and a fourth, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, is poised to follow Monday.

They could be joined by as many as four incumbent governors (Chris Christie of New Jersey, Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, John Kasich of Ohio and Scott Walker of Wisconsin).

And that list doesn’t include

the candidate with the broadest name recognition and the strongest fundraising so far, former Florida governor Jeb Bush.

Why are so many Republicans jumping into the race?

The size of the field reflects a judgment that Republicans have a good chance of winning back the White House. Only once since World War II has either party managed to hold the presidency for three elections in a row.

“The reason there’s a lot of people running on our side is we all think we can beat Hillary,” Graham told USA TODAY. The strength of the field reflects the success of the GOP in electing candidates to offices that provide a potential pathway to the White House. Republicans

not only won control of the House in 2010 and the Senate in 2014 but with last year’s elections now hold 31 of the nation’s 50 governorships.

That has created a fresh crew of candidates: Three of the senators and three of the governors on the list of likely Republican presidential contenders were first elected to those jobs over the past six years.

There are complications from the big field. Limiting participation in the debates even to the top 10, as measured in national polls, is likely to cut out such officeholders as Graham and Jindal.

At the moment, neither Santorum nor former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee would meet the threshold.

EPA expands waterways authority David Jackson USA TODAY

The Obama administration moved Wednesday to expand anti-pollution regulations over smaller bodies of water, another executive action that drew cheers from environmentalists and jeers from Republicans.

The Environmental Protection Agency, which already regulates large rivers and bays under the 1972 Clean Water Act, issued a rule asserting that authority over smaller rivers and wetlands.

“One in three Americans now gets drinking water from streams lacking clear protection, and businesses and industries that depend on clean water face uncertainty and delay, which costs our economy every day,” President Obama said in a statement. “Too many of our waters have been left vulnerable to pollution.”

While environmentalists hailed the rule as a necessity for the cleanup of polluted waters, business groups described it as another executive overreach by the Obama presidency.

Some said they would look to Congress and the courts for redress.

Mary Meeker’s widely anticipated Internet Trends Report was unveiled yesterday at the tech-focused Code Conference here.

The longtime Morgan Stanley analyst, now at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, has tracked digital trends for two decades.

Her latest findings highlighted everything from drone use to employee diversity.

Meeker’s first report was published in 1995, when only 30 million users were online. Now there’s 2.8 billion Internet users.

During the same time frame, mobile phone use has gone from 80 million, or 1% penetration of the population, to 5.2 billion, or 73% penetration.

Among the highlights from her report: uInternet user growth is “solid,” but slowing down. The number of global Internet users increased 8% last year, compared to 10% in 2013 and 11% three years ago. uUser-generated shared and curated videos are rising rapidly.

They also include Cruze, Malibu, Camaro, Silverado, Impala, Volt, Suburban, Colorado and Tahoe. GM’s other nameplates, such as Cadillac and Europe-focused Opel, will feature the technology at a later date.

Apple’s CarPlay and Android Auto have been the topic of much discussion in connected-car circles for more than a year, as manufacturers look to lure consumers with tech rather than horsepower. Their need to be on the cutting edge is especially pressing considering challenges from Tesla, whose electric cars feature large, easy-to-use screens, and rumors that Apple itself might be getting into the car-building game.

More than a dozen car companies — from Audi to Ferrari to Volvo — also have been pushing ahead with CarPlay and Android Auto integration into their fleets.

GENERAL MOTORS

Apple’s CarPlay home screen will be familiar to any iPhone user, with its app icons and round home button.

this year announced plans to roll out its new Apple- and Androidphone friendly Sync 3 infotainment system across all models later this year.

Worldwide, some 2.3 billion smartphones are now in circulation, with Android-powered models representing around 80% of the market and iPhones around 15%, according to Strategy Analytics. For automakers, offering vehicles that provide a seamless transfer from home to in-car use is a sales tool and a safety pitch.

“We want to change the way people use their smartphones in their car by making sure drivers keep their hands on the wheel,” Dan Kinney, Chevrolet’s director

of user experience, told a small press gathering in San Francisco the day before Barra’s Code announcement. “Voice activation is a critical component here.”

Smartphone owners used to asking their devices to find nearby coffee shops or play a certain song can do the same by pressing a button on the steering wheel.

Surrounding Kinney were a variety of GM models with 7- and 8inch touch-screen MyLink infotainment systems. Plugging either an iPhone or Android phone into a USB cable caused the screens to stylistically mirror each respective smartphone.

“It might look like this is easy to integrate, but we’ve been working with GM for more than a year,” says Andrew Brenner, Android Auto product manager.

GM plans to support the rollout with a retooled website, techsavvy call centers and 1,000 dealerships that will be dubbed Connection Centers, “a bit like the Apple Genius bar, where we help you unlock the value of the car’s system,” says Kinney.

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

Just when it looks like the U.S. stock market is tired, the techand biotech-packed Nasdaq composite accelerates again and pulls the rest of the market up with it.

So it was again on Wednesday.

The Nasdaq led the charge to higher prices after a nasty sell-off Tuesday. The high-octane Nasdaq partied like it was 1999, rallying 1.5% to a closing high of 5106.59.

At the start of Wednesday’s trading session, Robert Sluymer, an analyst at RBC Capital Markets, refuted the contention that the big market dive Tuesday, when the Dow Jones industrial average fell nearly 200 points — its worst day in May — was the start of something more treacherous for the market. “It is prema-

Teens are fickle, and investors follow their lead Q: How ugly can Abercrombie get?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: When you’re a teen retailer — and teens move on — you have a problem.

Abercrombie & Fitch investors might be reminded of that harsh reality again today.

The struggling retailer is expected to report financial results for the quarter ended in April after the market closes.

Analysts are calling for a dismal showing, but investors are quietly braced for even worse. Analysts predict the company to report an adjusted loss of 35 cents a share, says S&P Captial IQ, an even worse showing from a year ago, when the company lost 17 cents a share. Investors polled by Estimize believe the quarter could be even worse, with the company posting a loss of 36 cents a share.

Abercrombie is trying all sorts of things to try to win back teenagers of today, such as dumping its logo-emblazed clothes and distancing itself from the provocative images it has used to portray its image.

Investors, though, don’t seem to see a bottom yet. Shares have been headed straight down for months and are down 45% over the past year. Analysts rate the stock a “hold,” which is about the strongest caution you’ll get. Abercrombie will need to show investors it’s making moves to stop teens from ditching its stores and heading to trendier offerings from H&M and Forever 21.

Based on price-to-earnings ratio, stocks no longer cheap More than six years into the bull run, Wall Street traders are interested in a price-toearnings ratio valuation that indicates the market is overvalued.

Adam Shell USA TODAY

Mind your P’s and E’s. That’s what Wall Street’s doing, as a key valuation metric — the price-to-earnings ratio, or P-E — suggests the stock market isn’t cheap anymore.

More than six years into the bull run, valuation is again a key topic of discussion on Wall Street.

The reason: The broad U.S. stock market is selling at 18 times its earnings over the past four quarters.

NEW YORK

JUSTIN LANE, EPA

That’s higher than the longerterm average P-E of 16.

It’s higher than at the 2007

market peak.

And it’s also the most expensive the market has been in

about five years.

The bottom line: The stock market isn’t cheap anymore. In fact, it’s a tad overvalued.

So what’s an investor to do?

For starters, don’t panic. Market strategists point out that valuation is a “terrible market timing” tool.

Put another way: Stocks can keep going up. Back in 1999, heading up to the 2000 market peak, for example, the market traded at almost 30 times earnings.

And, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch, despite lofty P-Es, projected gains for

stocks still look better than bonds or cash.

Now, the bad news.

Higher valuations have been partly driven by low interest rates. So, when the Federal Reserve starts to raise interest rates, stocks might come under pressure.

Many Wall Street pros think the pricey market is the “biggest impediment” to more gains this year.

Deutsche Bank cites high P-E ratios as the prime reason they think the stock market is at risk for a summer swoon of around 5%.

After historical black roles, HBO’s ‘Nightingale’ stands apart

Bill Keveney @billkev USA TODAY

STEPHEN LOVEKIN, GETTY IMAGES

BROADWAY BOUND Danielle Brooks is going from ‘Orange’ to ‘Purple.’ The actress, who stars as Taystee on Netflix’s ‘Orange is the New Black,’ is set to make her Broadway debut in the upcoming musical revival of ‘The Color Purple.’ She will play the role of Sofia, opposite the previously announced Jennifer Hudson (Shug Avery) and Cynthia Erivo (Celie). Preview performances begin Nov. 9, and the show opens Dec. 10.

WEST HOLLYWOOD, CALIF. Englishman David Oyelowo attributes at least part of his film success to a seemingly unlikely source: the election of Barack Obama as the first African-American president.

At a White House screening of Selma, “I thanked him for my career, because I can absolutely track some of the best films I’ve done to his presidency: The Help, Red Tails, Lincoln, (Lee Daniels’) The Butler, Selma,” says Oyelowo, who portrayed Martin Luther King Jr. in Selma. “America had to open its eyes to the context that brought this seminal moment of having a black president, (which) meant that people with greenlight ability in Hollywood were more open to these stories.”

Oyelowo, 39, stars in Nightingale (airing on HBO Friday, 9 p.m.

ET/PT) as a secluded, troubled military veteran who connects to others almost completely by video and social media.

The humanity of a man in a one-character film who commits a horrible act, while appealing to Oyelowo, spelled trouble in terms

“What a happy coincidence that we caught David just as his star ascends.”

of wider distribution or acceptance at independent film festivals. The character, Peter Snowden, wasn’t defined by race, but Oyelowo believes that was a factor in its difficulties.

His own lack of celebrity might have played a part, he says, but “if you have a black actor in this role and it has nothing to do with sports, music, race, civil rights, has nothing to do with all those touch-button subjects, I feel like some of these festivals just didn’t know what to do with it.”

But Nightingale, filmed before Selma turned Oyelowo into more of a household name (though still tricky to pronounce), ultimately benefited from the actor’s rising star power and his affiliation with Selma producer and Hollywood A-lister Brad Pitt, who became a producer on the project and brought it to HBO. “What a happy coincidence that we caught David just as his star ascends,” screenwriter Fred-

Peter Snowden (Oyelowo) is a troubled military vet who goes it alone in Nightingale.

HBO

erick Mensch says.

Oyelowo plays another American, real-life Georgia killer Brian Nichols, in Captive, due in September, but his film choices reflect a global sensibility. In A United Kingdom, the actor, born in England to Nigerian parents, will play a prince from Botswana whose marriage to a white Englishwoman stirs controversy in the 1940s. He is now shooting Queen of Katwe, in which he portrays a man who teaches a young African chess champion (Lupita Nyong’o).

“I love shooting in Africa. It’s the next frontier in terms of mining the world for great stories,” he says. “When films have been made in Africa, especially from a Western point of view, it’s always about genocide or dictators. ... There is so much joy, so much amazing triumph in Africa, and I want to have those stories out in the world.”

‘Barely Lethal’ will make it 3 films out there at same time

Source Nielsen Music for week ending May 24.

MAEVE MCDERMOTT AND VERONICA BRAVO, USA TODAY

It’s not so bad having three movies out in three weeks.

“One, your friends believe you (when you say) that you were working that whole time,” says Hailee Steinfeld, who can be seen in the hit Pitch Perfect 2, animated When Marnie Was There and action comedy Barely Lethal (in theaters and on demand Friday).

“Two,” she adds, “you finally get to show people what you worked so hard on, and that’s always exciting.”

Since earning an Oscar nomination at just 14 as the feisty, resilient heroine of the Coen brothers’ True Grit, Steinfeld has

QUANTRELL D. COLBERT, DIRECTV; INSET BY FILMMMAGIC

been one of the most sought-after young actresses in Hollywood.

In Lethal, she throws punches and wields weapons as teen assassin Megan, who fakes her own death so she can enroll in high school and have a “normal” life.

Like her Pitch character, Emily — who finds her voice as the Barden Bellas’ youngest a cappella recruit — “they both have their

heart set on something, and regardless of their quirks or talents, they won’t hold back,” says Steinfeld, 18. “There’s something special in the growth of these characters, and I love that they are both kind of dorky.”

But more than playing an axthrowing special agent, singing on Pitch with Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson may have been the

bigger challenge.

“I didn’t realize how difficult it was to sing, dance and act all at the same time,” Steinfeld says.

Not that her ineptitude shows: She’s poised to take over the female-fronted franchise in the inevitable third movie.

Pitch also has helped open another door of her career: a recording contract with Republic Records, signed this month. “I realized (that music) was something I couldn’t live without.”

Luckily, she has a close pal in Taylor Swift, having recently appeared in her all-star Bad Blood music video as a trio of stony triplets called “The Trinity.”

Whether it’s music or life advice, “I’m able to look up to her for just about everything,” Steinfeld says. “She sets such an incredible example for everyone.”

And with famous friends such as Sophie Turner (Game of Thrones) and Sarah Hyland (Modern Family), “I’m a part of a generation of women that completely support and empower each other, and that’s special.”

Self sees summer contests as chance to grow

HIGH SCHOOL TRACK AND FIELD

Next stop: state

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Bill Self has heard about 5,000 tickets have been sold for Kansas University’s two World University Games exhibitions against Canada, set for 7 p.m., tips on June 23 and 26 in Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri.

“We hope to get about 10,000 in there both nights with people getting a chance to see their young Jayhawks.

It would be cool to do that,” KU coach Self said Wednesday morning on Kansas City 810 radio. It was one of three radio interviews held on a day spent publicizing the exhibitions as well as his Self basketball camps for youths (June 7-11; June 1418) and Basketball Boogie for his Assists Foundation (June 13, Abe and Jakes).

Self can take a bit of a breather before gathering his players June 7 for summer school and unlimited practice sessions for the University Games, July 3-14 in South Korea.

“I want our guys to have a great educational experience. I want us to get better and I also want to get better personally (as a coach),” Self said on Lawrence 1320 radio. “I think with the FIBA rules and the short (24-second) clock ... I think there’s a lot of different things we can do defensively to put us in a situation to experiment some. I think that will be positive. I want it to be fun, but we’ve got to win. I think our players will take great pride in the fact they are actually representing our country playing over there against pros. We’ll go see how we stack up against the world.”

KU is allowed a roster of 12 players. Foreign-born Svi Mykhailiuk and Cheick Diallo are not eligible to play for Team USA. Also, Brannen Greene will not participate as he rehabs from hip surgery.

Incoming freshmen Carlton Bragg and LaGerald Vick (if as expected he reclassifies to the Class of 2015) figure to be joined by SMU guard Nic Moore plus returning Jayhawks Frank Mason III, Wayne Selden Jr., Devonté Graham, Jamari Traylor, Landen Lucas, Perry Ellis, Hunter Mickelson, Evan Manning and Tyler Self. Those Jayhawks who do not play — KU is hoping to sign a transfer big man such as Providence’s Paschal Chukwu of Nigeria who also would not be eligible — can still make the trip as team managers.

“I can see all three of our little guys (5-9 Moore, 5-11 Mason, 6-2 Graham) playing together. I can see two of them playing with Wayne. I think it’ll be a fun deal,” Self said. “What I will do, and our players will understand this, I’m going to play everybody. Even though we’re going to play to win ... we’re probably not going to do the platoon quite like Kentucky did last year (but) we’re going to give everybody an opportunity to play and get better because some of our guys do desperately need some minutes,” he added.

FREE STATE’S ETHAN DONLEY, SECOND FROM RIGHT, LINES UP AT THE starting line of the boys 800 during the 2015 Free State Invitational track meet at FSHS.

Free State’s Donley ready for weekend

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Free State junior Ethan Donley had a breakout race at the 6A state cross country meet with a sixth-place finish, and that success had carried over into track season.

Donley was a regional champ Friday in the 800 with a time of 1:56.86 and will be competing in three different events for the Firebirds at the 6A state meet Friday and Saturday in Wichita.

“I’ve seen him really put stuff together in this last month basically since we kind of opened up in May. He’s buying into our program,” FSHS coach Jordan Rose said. “He’s putting things together. I see him ex-

cited and being successful, and that’s really all you can ask for from an athlete.”

Along with the 800, Donley will be running the 1600 and a leg of the 4x400 relay, but there is no secret as to his favorite distance to run in track and cross country.

“By far the 800. I get to run fast,” Donley said. “I just love it. It’s so much fun.”

Donley has been part of a three-headed FSHS distancerunning beast, joined by junior Tanner Hockenbury and senior Ryan Liston. While Liston doubled as a regional champ in the 1600 and 3200, he’s envious of Donley’s speed in the mid-distance events.

“It always blows my mind because I’m always watch-

ing him and I ask everyone around me, ‘why is he so fast?’ Because you look at him and his legs are super skinny and he’s just in general basically a super skinny guy,” Liston said. “I feel like you need some muscle to propel you along, but I guess he doesn’t. It’s insane, but it’s always fun to watch him race.”

One possible explanation for how Donley has been so successful from any distance ranging from the 400 in track to the 5,000 in cross country might be that he has grown up around the sport. Ethan is the son of former Olympian Julie (Jenkins) Donley and Milan Donley, who is the Kansas Relays meet director and event coordinator for

KU’s home cross country and track meets.

“It’s been fun because I got into running at a younger age at like first grade or so,” Ethan said. “My dad kind of coached me early on, so that was fun.”

Prior to settling into his current position, Milan dabbled in the coaching ranks at the collegiate and professional levels, including coaching Julie in the 800 at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona. While Milan believes that some of Ethan’s natural ability to run the 800 has come from Julie’s genes, he also credited Rose and her coaching staff with setting up his son up for success.

Firebirds back in action at state tourney

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

It’s been more than a week since Free State High’s baseball team won a regional championship and earned a spot at the Class 6A state tournament.

For some teams, that layoff would crush all of the momentum they had.

The second-seeded Fire-

birds think it will be to their benefit when they face seventh-seeded WichitaHaysville Campus in the quarterfinals today at Kansas University’s Hoglund Ballpark. With rain in the forecast, the tournament is using a rolling schedule and the start time is subject to change, but it’s expected to be around 3:30 p.m.

“It’s kind of nice to have

a little break for the biggest games of the year,” sophomore left fielder Jacob Pavlyak said. “It just gives us a little extra time to get ready.

I think we’re as ready as we can be and we’re ready to go out there and win.”

In the state tournament for the first time since 2010, the Firebirds (18-4) have

Men’s basketball leads KU in APR data “

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The men’s basketball program continues to carry the torch for the Kansas University athletic department in the annual Academic Progress Rate report, and more turnover in the football offices made an impact on KU football’s score.

The men’s hoops squad’s 995 APR multi-year score Please see HOOPS, page 3C led the 18 KU athletic pro-

grams when the numbers were released on Wednesday. But it marked the first time in nine years that Bill Self’s program did not record a perfect score of 1,000.

Despite the slight dip, which Paul Buskirk, KU’s associate athletic director for studentathlete support, said came because of points off for retention, the Jayhawks remained one of the best-performing teams academically and well above the national

average for men’s basketball, which Buskirk said was in the 940-950 range.

“I can’t talk in terms of personnel issues,” Buskirk said. “But the math says we lost retention points.

We had, I believe, five students that left our program last year. We’re certainly disappointed because we loved the perfect 1,000, but at the same time we’re still extremely proud of the 995.

What coach Self has done

I can’t talk in terms of personnel issues.

But the math says we lost retention points.”

here is still nothing short of absolutely amazing in keeping them accountable and wanting them to do the right thing.”

All 18 of KU’s varsity athletic programs came in well above the 930 number which the NCAA considers “good standing” but three programs — football, men’s — Paul Buskirk, indoor track and men’s out- associate AD for door track — were below student-athlete support Please see APR, page 10C

Warriors eliminate Rockets

FREE STATE HIGH TODAY WEST

SOUTH

Oakland, Calif. (ap) — After a generation of wishing and waiting, the Golden State Warriors have finally arrived on basketball’s biggest stage again.

Stephen Curry had 26 points and eight rebounds, Harrison Barnes added 24 points, and the Warriors advanced to the NBA Finals for the first time in 40 years with a 104-90 victory over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night.

“Why not us?” Curry said to a roaring, golden-yellow shirt wearing crowd after the Warriors received the Western Conference trophy from Alvin Attles, the coach of their last championship team in 1975.

The Warriors shook off a slow start and sweated out a shaky finish in Game 5 to close out the Rockets and set up a matchup with LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers beginning June 4. It was hardly the prettiest performance — but one they’ll savor nonetheless.

Yellow streams and confetti fell from the rafters when the final buzzer sounded. The Warriors shared hugs and handshakes, and the crowd chanted “M-V-P!” for Curry, who relished the moment on the court with his 2-year-old daughter, Riley.

“We deserve to celebrate tonight but we’ve still got unfinished business and it’s a long time coming for the Bay Area,” Warriors All-Star guard Klay Thompson said.

All five Rockets starters scored at least 10 points, but MVP runner-up James Harden had a forgettable finale. Harden had a playoff-record 13 turnovers and scored 14 points on 2-of-11 shooting.

Dwight Howard led Houston with 18 points and 16 rebounds.

Curry said he had no lingering effects from his frightening fall in Game 4 that left him

with a bruised head and right side. The MVP wore a protective yellow sleeve on his right arm, which he shed in the third quarter after shooting 4 for 12 and the Warriors clinging to a 52-46 halftime lead.

Things got tougher on Curry when backcourt mate Thompson faked a shot that drew Trevor Ariza in the air early in the fourth quarter. Thompson absorbed Ariza’s knee to the side of his head, sending him to the floor.

Thompson, who finished

with 20 points, lay on the ground for a minute before walking to the locker room. He came back to the bench with what the team called a right ear laceration.

The Warriors said he could’ve returned, but they never needed him. They started the fourth on a 13-4 run and held off Houston’s last-ditch efforts on free throws.

stuck to their normal schedule with three practices this week.

“The kids are ready to go,” FSHS coach Mike Hill said. “I haven’t sensed anything out of the norm in terms of their preparation and everything else. We’ve had a few scrimmages, so they’ve seen live pitching. We’ve kept them in as much of a routine as you can given the layoff.”

The Firebirds have won their last seven games, and 14 of their past 16, with strong pitching and solid defense.

The biggest question mark

“He’s showing a lot of latitude with what he’s done in cross country,” Milan said.

has been their offense. In four of their past five games, they’ve scored four runs or less. But the week of practices helped them focus on their weakness.

“It helps. We get a lot of (batting practice) in,” senior second baseman Cooper Karlin said. “We get to face live pitching in our scrimmages so I think that will help us for these next three games, hopefully.”

The Colts (15-7) are returning to the state tournament for the first time since 2012.

Similar to the Firebirds, they are known for their stellar defense and ability to score runs through small-ball methods.

“The whole coaching staff has told us they are a really scrappy team,” Karlin said.

“They’re really aggressive on the base paths and they like to bunt. It kind of sounds like us in all honesty.”

Hill added: “We watched them play last week. I thought they were a scrappy bunch of kids. Ran, bunted, tried to make some things happen offensively. They kind of pushed the agenda with their legs. They are going to be a handful for us and they are going to try to put pressure on us.”

Though none of the Firebirds have state tournament experience, they are plenty familiar with Hoglund Ballpark.

They played two games there during the River City baseball festival and against Lawrence High in the City Showdown

for their final regular-season game.

“It’s certainly an advantage,” Hill said. “We’ve been there before. Not only the three games this spring but the kids have played there in the summer. There’s a level of familiarity they have with the facility.”

After a longer wait than usual for their next game, the Firebirds are ready to show how well they can play against the state’s best teams.

“We’re really excited,” Pavlyak said. “We can’t wait to get out there and play. This is what we’ve been looking forward to all year. It’s just going to be a fun time to be out there, at KU and in the state tournament.

That’s what we worked for.”

ty for 800-meter runners and milers.”

After running a personalrecord 800 time of 1:56.57 to win a Sunflower League championship, Ethan overtook his mother for the fastest half-miler in the household. Julie has noticed that Ethan has run with a different tenacity during the past few meets, which has allowed him to hit another gear in his races.

“He’s being a competitor in-

stead of being a person in the race. He’s actually hungry and going for it, and that’s fun to watch,” Julie said. “Sitting on the sidelines is kind of hard because you never know what is going to happen. You’re like, ‘Go! Go! Go!’ but he’s been making it happen.”

Ethan has all of his focus geared toward the state meet, and still has one year left at Free State, but he has decided for sure that he wants to con-

tinue his running career at the next level. Donley listed Kansas, Texas and Adams State (NCAA Division II) as some schools he expressed early interest in. Julie began her career at Adams State before finishing her career at Brigham Young, and she won national titles at both places.

“He definitely has his mother’s genes when it comes to middle-distance racing, that’s for sure,” Milan said.

Self told Topeka 580 radio that “the good thing is when it is. Our season is so long, but this is June, July. The guys will have five weeks off before school starts (in August). They’ll have plenty of chances to get their batteries recharged. It will be something I think makes us better.

“We are so limited in what we can do with kids in the summer. It’s more than it used to be (two hours per week) but still not enough. In this situation we have unlimited practice time with our guys. We’ll be doing a lot of things from an individual improvement standpoint where hopefully everyone will see a noticeable difference between last year and this year.”

Of adding SMU senior Moore, Self explained: “With Brannen not able to go and Svi not able to go, our only returning perimeter players are Wayne, Frank and Devonté. If we get another guy (Vick) that would be four. You still can’t play with four.

That would put too much pressure on Evan and Tyler (walk-ons). We’ll take all our returning players who are eligible to go.

I wanted to get somebody else. Coach (Larry Brown, SMU) pushed Nic to go. He really wants to go. He’s player of year in the American Conference which everybody knows is a great league.

I’m excited to have him on board. He’ll help us a ton.”

The Canadian team, by the way, will practice in Lawrence the week leading up to the exhibition games.

“It won’t include Wiggs (Andrew Wiggins) or Tristan Thompson or those guys as they will probably be with their Pan Am Games team,” Self said, “but it is a team of pros. Melvin Ejim (Iowa State) is on the team and Brady Heslip. Ticket sales are going well.”

For ticket information call 1-800-34-Hawks or go to the Web address http://www.sprintcenter. com/events/detail/kuvs-team-canada. To order tickets for Self’s boogie, go to basketballboogie. org. To assure spots in upcoming camps, go to billselfbasketballcamp. com. l 24 and under: Self noted that players must be age 24 or under by the end of the calendar year to be eligible for the World Games.

“We have some kids we’d love to have taken with us whether it be Travis (Releford) or Elijah (Johnson) or Tyshawn (Taylor) or whatnot who can’t go because they are too old,” Self said.

“Guys under NBA contracts presently are not allowed to go so we decided to take our team.

It’ll be tough. Northern Iowa went once and Wisconsin went once. I think both teams failed to get in medal play because the competition is so stiff.

We’ll have to be prepared to play.” l Self on newcomer Cheick Diallo: “He is an energy guy, a legit 6-9 with a 7-2 wingspan. He’s one of those guys who doesn’t play harder (just) because the game is close at the end. He will play at the same pace from the opening tip. I think he’s as good as any young big kid out there.” l List for Chukwu: Providence transfer Paschal Chukwu has added Iona to his list of schools, Zagsblog.com reports. The 7-footer is also considering KU, Michigan State, Nebraska and Virginia, Zagsblog reports.

Nationals 3, Cubs 0 Chicago — Bryce Harper hit his 18th home run, Max Scherzer struck out a season-high 13 to outduel Jon Lester and Washington beat the Chicago Cubs.

The top two free-agent pitchers on the market last offseason, Scherzer (6-3) and Lester faced off in a memorable matchup in the finale of the threegame series. Scherzer, who signed a seven-year deal worth $210 million with Washington, was better than his counterpart, throwing seven scoreless innings while allowing five hits and one walk to win his fifth straight start.

Big 12 approves penalties Irving, Texas (ap) — Big 12 Conference schools could now face fines, and even the loss of future home games, for failing to keep fans from storming courts or rushing fields after games.

Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said the measure passed Wednesday gives him a broad authority to deal with such violations.

“I don’t know that there’s anything off the table in dealing with

those issues,” Bowlsby said at the end of the first full day of the league’s spring meetings. “I think I’ve been given broad prerogatives to deal with those issues.”

In February, Bowlsby publicly reprimanded Kansas State for failing to prevent Wildcats fans from pouring onto the court after the school’s men’s basketball upset victory over rival and then eighth-ranked Kansas.

A-Rod powers Yankees past Royals New York (ap) — Alex Rodriguez checked off another age-old milestone in a comeback season that’s surpassing almost anyone’s expectations.

The three-time MVP hit a three-run homer to break Lou Gehrig’s American League record for RBIs, and the New York Yankees beat the Kansas City Royals, 4-2, Wednesday to finish a three-game sweep.

“I haven’t played a lot of baseball in the last two years, but I feel like I’m in a good place. I’m happy.

I’m having fun,” said the 39-year-old Rodriguez, who sat out last season while serving a drug suspension.

“I think for me in a weird way the time off was a blessing in disguise.

I was able to get some rest, change my workout regimen a little bit. I just feel like I’m in a better place and more explosive than I’ve been.”

Michael Pineda (6-2) rebounded from consecutive losses, and Brian McCann hit a solo shot for the Yankees, who outscored the AL champions 23-4 in their first home sweep of Kansas City since August 2007.

Coming into the series, New York had lost six in a row and 10 of 11.

“We responded well, especially after getting swept by Texas,” reliever Dellin Betances said.

Mike Moustakas hom-

930 for the 2013-14 score.

Because the NCAA only worries about the fouryear, multi-year score, there is no penalty for dropping below 930 in any given academic year, but Buskirk said such numbers certainly catch his eye.

“The primary cause of the 908 for last year is more on the reten-

ered early for Kansas City, but Chris Young (41) gave up both Yankees long balls. The slumping Royals have dropped four straight for the first time since Aug. 28-31, mustering only five runs during the slide.

“A lot of it was Pineda.

Some of it was us right now. We’re not swinging the bats. We’ve cooled off

a little bit,” manager Ned Yost said.

Betances allowed an unearned run in the eighth — he has not yielded an earned run all year.

Andrew Miller worked a 1-2-3 ninth and is perfect in 14 save opportunities.

“Our pitchers really showed up in this series against an offense that was swinging the bat re-

ally well,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.

Brett Gardner doubled to start the third, Chase Headley walked and Rodriguez pulled a line drive into the left-field corner that cleared the fence near the 318-foot sign.

Earlier this season, ARod passed Willie Mays (660) for fourth place on

the career home run list.

With No. 665 on Wednesday, he ended his seasonworst homer drought at eight games and increased his career total to 1,995 RBIs. The Yankees said that’s two more than Gehrig gets credit for from the Elias Sports Bureau, baseball’s official statistician.

Records get tricky

when it comes to runs batted in, partly because RBIs did not become an official stat until 1920.

So while baseball-reference.com lists Gehrig with 1,995 RBIs and Babe Ruth with 2,214, Elias puts Rodriguez ahead of both of them and behind only Barry Bonds (1,996) and Hank Aaron (2,297).

tion, not on the eligibility side,” said Buskirk of KU’s football score. “We had a lot of students who were (in the program) when coach (Charlie) Weis was the coach who are no longer here.”

That said, Buskirk is not worried about the number overall because of what he’s seen from first-year coach David Beaty during his first semester in charge of the program.

And like anyone with anything invested in KU football, Buskirk is hoping Beaty sticks around.

“There’s no doubt that the notion of having someone here for a longer period of time will give stability to the roster,” Buskirk said. “And when you have stability in the roster, stability in academics follows.”

A team’s annual APR score is a measure of two things: the overall eligibility of its athletes and the retention of those athletes from semester to semester as they pursue their degrees. Each scholarship athlete in every sport has the potential

to earn four points per school year. Two points are possible for being eligible and two points are possible for remaining in good academic standing at your school.

Once KU gets the numbers for each athlete on each team, the results are then combined to produce each team’s overall APR number.

The system came about in 2003 as a new way for universities to track the academic performance of their student-athletes.

Until 2003, the only gaug-

es available were team grade-point average and graduation rates. However, researchers discovered that both numbers moved too slowly to matter on a year-to-year basis. Today, with the APR system in place, the numbers are tracked over both a four-year period and on an annual basis, and programs that fall below the NCAA’s goodstanding mark of 930 face the potential for penalties which range from loss of scholarships to postseason bans.

KU is in no danger of venturing into that territory with any of its athletic programs and Buskirk said several people deserve credit for that.

“It’s kids first and it’s coaches second, because if they don’t back it, it doesn’t work,” Buskirk said. “Number 3, I’ve got the best staff that I could ever ask for. And the last one is, if the faculty doesn’t join hands with us, it doesn’t work and our faculty are absolutely amazing.”
