Retrofitting an option for police HQ

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

First came a failed sales tax vote in November. Then came an April election that brought three new members to the Lawrence City Commission.

Now, city leaders are rethinking the notion that a new, multimillion-dollar police headquarters must be located in a brand new building.

A majority of city commissioners now say they want to consider retrofitting an existing building to meet the needs of the seriously cramped police department.

“I think that definitely is going to be worth our time to look at,” Matthew Herbert, one of the new commissioners, said last week.

Although Miller never rode on Harrell’s bus, the longtime family friend said it was clear she cared about her job and her passengers.

At the end of this school year, 53 years into the business, 85-year-old Harrell hung up her keys and decided to retire.

The first full year of claims data since the Affordable Care Act insurance marketplace began is now tallied, and it appears rates for Kansans are going up as a result.

That has some state and area health agency leaders concerned, especially for lowincome residents.

“The significant increase in health insurance rates projected for 2016 is alarming,” said Kim Polson, interim director of Lawrence’s Health Care Access Clinic. “Even with greater access to insurance through the Health Insurance Marketplace, we find that Health Care Access patients are already unable to afford the monthly premiums or choose plans with a high deductible, which

puts the true benefit of having insurance out of reach.”Proposed rate increases are not limited to marketplace policies.

Requested average rate revisions range from a decrease of less than half a percent to an increase of 38 percent, the Kansas Insurance Department recently announced. Proposals are for private insurance company health plans sold on the federal marketplace as well as plans not sold on the government website.

In accordance with Affordable Care Act regulations, plans with proposed rate increases more than 10 percent were posted online June 1. A link is available via ksinsurance.org.

The Insurance Commission will review the rates to ensure they’re actuarially sound and accurate before approving them, said Cindy Hermes, Insurance Commission director of public outreach.

Open enrollment to obtain marketplace insurance for the 2016 calendar year begins Nov. 1.

A total of 97 plans — 75 individual and 22 small group — have been proposed for sale in Kansas on the federally facilitated online marketplace, according to the Insurance Commission.

Overall, that’s 15 more plans than were available for 2015.

Hermes said Kansas is not alone in facing rate increases.

“The majority of the policies will be more expensive,” Hermes said.

“The rates that we’re seeing ... are large, and we are concerned about them, and we are going to check them. But the other states are seeing the same types.” l l l

Hermes and area health advocates suggested two likely culprits of higher marketplace rates.

First, the people who did get insurance through the marketplace — many of whom were previously uninsured — may have been older, sicker and more costly to cover.

(Remember the marketing campaigns encouraging more young, healthy people to sign up for insurance? They aimed to counter-balance such costs.)

“In general, since they couldn’t afford insurance, they have poor health outcomes, they didn’t visit the doctor on a regular basis or they have some type of chronic disease,” said Katrina McGivern, policy and public affairs director for the Kansas Association for the Medically Underserved. “They cost a lot more to insure.”

Also, insurers that may have made an educated guess about how much to charge in the new system are now adjusting prices in accordance with actual costs incurred. l l l

Lawrence agencies point out that they still see many clients with no insurance. Some fear that increased rates will create more.

In 2014, 44 percent of Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department cli-

By the numbers 11.7 million Americans selected plans through the government’s Health Insurance Marketplaces for calendar year 2015.

Of those, 10.2 million Americans paid for and activated their policies.

Here are the numbers for Kansas: l 85,490 Kansans have paid for and activated their policies. l 69,979 (81.9 percent) receive advanced premium tax credits to make their policies more affordable throughout the year. l 47,836 (56 percent) receive costsharing reductions to lower the out-of-pocket amount they pay for deductibles, coinsurance and copayments. l The average advanced premium tax credit for Kansans is $210 per month. The national average was $272 per month.

ents were uninsured, and that hasn’t changed drastically since the Affordable Care Act, department director Dan Partridge said.

“The cost of health insurance is one of the factors that influence access to health care,” Partridge said. “And when costs rise, so do the barriers to receiving health care. Increased premiums, that in Kansas are not adequately subsidized, place another burden onto families with limited incomes.”

Polson said the Health Care Access mission is to provide affordable primary care and prescription assistance for uninsured people in Douglas County.

“I predict there will be even more individuals needing services at Health Care Access in 2016 as a result of the projected rate increases,” Polson said. l l l

Finalized rates and marketplace enrollment are still months away.

The Association for the Medically Underserved leads the navigator program over agencies including Lawrence’s Heartland Community Health Center, and played a big role in getting Kansans enrolled last year, McGivern said.

She urged potential insurance buyers to remember that tax credits should go up in proportion to rates, so that should help offset increased premiums.

Hermes said keeping track of medical expenses starting now, if you haven’t already, will help you be a smart shopper when the time comes to sign up for 2016 plans.

Knowing how much you spend helps choose a plan that’s a good fit, she said.

McGivern said she hopes that as previously unhealthy people buy insurance and become more healthy, their healthcare costs will go down and help rates stabilize.

“We’re trying to be optimistic that it is just a growing pain, and that things will level out,” she said.

Leslie Soden, another of the three commissioners elected in April, said she thinks the failed November vote was a sign that the public wants other options reviewed.

“It is like they shot for the moon and that vote failed,” Soden said of the November plan, which called for a $28 million new facility to be built on a large lot near the Kansas Turnpike.

Soden said she believes retrofitting an existing building may be more cost-effective than building new. Given the uncertainty about how much state taxes might increase, the city has to be realistic about how much it can spend on the police project, she said.

“Cost is going to be a big issue with this,” Soden said.

“Past city commissions have already dedicated a lot of money to other projects.

That has made this project more challenging.”

The idea of using an existing building will face opposition. Michelle Derusseau, a leader of the previous Vote Yes campaign for the police headquarters sales tax, recently told city commissioners to be wary

in revenue next year would come to $471 million.

Moments after the tax vote, senators also passed and sent to Gov. Sam Brownback a budget which, when combined with the school funding and judicial budgets that already have passed, spends $6.4 billion in each of the next two fiscal years. The House passed the same budget plan last week.

The combined tax and budget plans preserve Brownback’s core policies of limiting growth in state government, eliminating income taxes on certain kinds of business income and gradually phasing out income taxes altogether in favor of more reliance on “consumption” taxes such as retail sales and tobacco taxes.

Assuming the tax plan passes the House today, it ensures that more than 24,000 state employees who were within hours of being furloughed because of the budget stalemate will, in fact, be paid on time when their paychecks are due July 2.

“This has been a very, very long, difficult two weeks,” said Senate President Susan Wagle, R-Wichita. “I’m very thankful for my colleagues who have decided to govern, who’ve decided to balance the budget rather than throwing us into chaos.”

The tax bill relies heavily on higher sales taxes to balance the budget. It would raise the state sales tax on most items by four-tenths of a cent, to 6.55 percent, starting July 1. That’s expected to generate nearly $188 million next year.

But starting July 1, 2016, it would lower the sales tax on food to 4.95 percent.

of investing in buildings that already have more than 20 years of age on them, and to be mindful of the special design needs of a police headquarters building that must function during public disasters and be open every day of the year.

Mayor Jeremy Farmer said he wants to keep all options open. He said that does include the idea of a retrofitted building.

“For us to squelch conversation about an idea because we think we know what is best based on some previous recommendations would be short-sighted of us at this point,” Farmer said.

Commissioner Stuart Boley said a retrofitted building was a consideration for him as well.

“We have to meet the needs of the community and the police department,” Boley said. “If that is in a retrofit, that may be where we are headed. The bottom-line is a big deal.”

A timeline for decisions about the headquarters project remains uncertain.

Farmer said he thought it would be unwise to set a timetable for the project because he doesn’t want the public to “feel like we are trying to ram something through.”

The city’s budget process for 2016 is scheduled to

be completed in late July or early August. Commissioners have discussed the idea of paying for a new headquarters without raising taxes. That could require cuts to other departments’ budgets, with some perhaps beginning in 2016.

Soden said she didn’t see how the commission would be in a position to know what type of facility it wants to build by the end of July. She will advocate for the city to figure out its top few options and have price estimates developed for the various proposals, she said.

“I think it is going to take us a few months to get our options figured out,” Soden said.

Herbert said he was optimistic the city would be able to figure out a way to fit a headquarters project into the 2016 budget. But Herbert also said the commission needs to be prepared to make changes to what’s previously been proposed.

“What I’ve told (police) Chief (Tarik) Khatib is that I support you and what you are asking for in your space and training needs, but the one thing you need to be flexible on is location,” Herbert said. “I would be really bad at my job if I watched that vote happen in November and then presented the exact same thing.”

than 330,000 business owners whose non-wage business income was exempted from taxation in the sweeping tax cuts enacted in 2012, contrary to the wishes of some lawmakers. Democrats and many moderate Republicans had refused to go along with any tax plan that didn’t put that nonwage income back on the tax rolls. But Brownback had threatened to veto any tax bill that did tax such income.

The Senate plan, however, does tax one small category of non-wage income, the so-called “guaranteed payments” that are part of some partnership arrangements. That’s supposed to generate about $24 million next year, but many tax experts question that number because those businesses could easily reword contracts to shield that income from taxes.

Other elements of the plan include a 50-cent per pack increase in cigarette taxes; a new tax on e-cigarettes; reductions or elimination of most itemized deductions; and a “tax amnesty” plan that is supposed to generate about $30 million next year — though some officials have called that estimate into question.

The tax bill passed on a vote of 21-17. Nine Republicans joined all eight Democrats in voting no, including Democratic Sens.

Marci Francisco, of Lawrence, and Tom Holland, of Baldwin City.

The budget bill passed 23-11. Holland voted against the bill. Francisco passed on the vote.

Lawmakers in both chambers have battled for weeks over how to raise more than $400 million in new taxes or, in the alternative, whether to make deep cuts in the budget, as many conservatives had wanted.

The plan that finally passed the Senate on Sunday includes a number of smaller items that were

meant to attract conservative voters who otherwise would have voted against any tax increase. Those include: l Expansion of a type of private school voucher program that offers tax credits for those who contribute to scholarship funds that enable public school students to transfer to private or parochial schools. l A property tax lid for cities and counties which, starting in 2018, would require them to get voter approval before increasing property tax revenues by more than the rate of inflation. l And a requirement that to qualify for any kind of tax credit, all tax filers — except spouses of U.S. military personnel — must have a valid Social Security number for the entire year in which the credit applies.

The most controversial provision would put a sunset in four years on many sales tax exemptions, property tax exemptions and income tax credits. During those four years, a special commission would review those policies and recommend to the Legislature which ones should stay and which should be repealed.

Democrats were vocally critical of that provision. They noted, for example, that it allows the commission to review the sales tax exemption on residential utilities, but not agricultural utilities.

Republicans argued it is good public policy to review tax exemptions and credits periodically to determine whether they are achieving the intended goals.

The House is expected to debate the tax plan this afternoon. If it passes, both chambers plan to adjourn soon afterward, bringing the 2015 session to a close on its recordsetting 109th day.

Three people injured in Sunday three-vehicle crash

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

Three people were injured in a three-vehicle crash just outside the Lawrence city limits Sunday morning.

About 11:15 a.m., two of the vehicles collided head-on on Highway 40.

Jack Greever, 38, who was headed westbound in a Subaru Forester, was turning left into First United Methodist Church, 867 Highway 40, when he collided with an eastbound Oldsmobile Intrigue, said Lt. Steve Lewis with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. The Oldsmobile, driven by Melissa Weisgerber, 27, careened off Greever’s vehicle and then collided

head-on with a westbound Honda Accord driven by Douglas Hitt, 58, Lewis said.

Hitt was transported via Life Star helicopter to Stormont-Vail Hospital in Topeka, Lewis said. Weisgerber and her passenger, Rebecca Dodds, 33, were transported via ground ambulances to Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Neither Greever nor his passenger were injured in the accident.

Hitt suffered serious injuries in the crash, according to Lt. Randall Cheek with the sheriff’s office. Weisgerber and Dodds’ injuries were not lifethreatening, he said.

Then I’d come in, change my clothes, get on the bus and go,� she said. “I’d do my morning route, come back do my daily canning, gardening, my afternoon route and then I’d go back to the dairy.�

Harrell would begin each school year addressing her passengers, notifying them of her expectations. “I consider each of those children mine,� she said. “And I’d tell them ‘we are a big family on this bus and we are going to get along.’�

During her tenure, Harrell said she’s driven all four of her children and many of her 16 grandchildren to school. Through the generations there were plenty mischievous passengers, she said; sometimes they came from her own family. That was something she soon set straight. “I was used as an example many times,� said her son Rick Harrell with a laugh. “She could always whip my butt and not get in trouble.�

Aside from the infrequent ne’er-do-well, Harrell said she rarely ran into a problem she couldn’t handle. “Oh, I’ve been in the ditch a couple of times,� she said. “There were times when I walked a mile to get help, usually in the snow or something.�

In those situations Harrell said she’d tell her students to stay put while she addressed the issue. Some-

times her husband Alvin would come to the rescue, she said.

Wayne Zachary said he’s known Harrell for over 25 years and worked as her supervisor for the past nine. Over two and a half decades, he said it’s always been clear that she’s taken her responsibilities to heart. “When you have a route like she’s had you get to know all your neighbors and kids pretty well and they kind of become your own,� he said. “So it’s important for you to get up and make sure they get to school.�

Harrell said she and her passengers grew so close over the years some began calling her ‘grandma.’ Others still give her a call from time to time to check up on her.

As the years pass and the students come and go, Harrell said she’s seen quite a bit of change. “Kids used to get on the bus, sit down and we’d go to school,� she said. “Today they get out cell phones or iPads and that’s what they do on the way to school.�

The change hasn’t bothered her too much, she said.

In fact, she appreciates that it keeps her up with the times, something she’s going to miss during her retirement.

Noting “all good things must come to an end,� Harrell said it was simply time for her to retire. “We talked earlier this year and decided it had been a great run,� Zachary said. “She’s got a great career and reputation, and we said let’s end it good, let’s end it positive.�

For the past 53 years Harrell has done much more than driving a bus and farm work, she said. For many years she ran a dog kennel and a cake-baking business, though she’s no longer involved in either endeavor. “She’s a really hard working woman that gives, gives, gives to everybody,�

Miller said. “And I think she just loves to stay busy. She loves doing for others.�

In her youth Harrell said she considered herself to be a softball fanatic. Even after a long day of farm work she’d rush to the ball diamond every day she could.

Harrell doesn’t play softball anymore, though.

No dogs can be heard barking in her home and she bakes cakes only for family and very close friends. Gardening, canning and woodworking are her true passions, she said. And she plans on throwing herself into those activities even further now that she’s retired. “Early in the morning is so peaceful and I like to get out early to enjoy that peace. I’ll get out and walk through my flowers and see what’s new there and listen to the birds,� she said. “I do not intend to leave until they take me away. I’ve always been happy here. I’ve never had a thought of going anywhere else.�

Salvation Army hosts the class. Ballard Community Service provides free child care for class participants. And each agency brings clients to the class sessions. “Before, every agency would call us independently for these classes, and we did the same class over and over again for two or three people,� said Anju Mishra, Lawrence branch manager for HCCI, who leads the classes. “When we got together and offered the Money Matters class, we increased efficiency, reduced duplication of services and brought these partners together to work toward the same goals.�

Since the program was launched in 2013, the class series has been delivered five times, and total attendance has reached 305. Demand has become so strong among clients of Lawrence Community Shelter and Ballard Community Services that now Money Matters, which is usually held twice a year, will now be offered every other month. “Very few people learn this information at home

Participants are also encouraged to follow up with a private financial counseling session with Mishra. “It’s one on one, it’s their numbers, their situation,� she said. “We talk about their goals, their dreams, and work with that.�

After participating in

the Money Matters class, Wilder worked with Mishra to develop a strategy to reach her goal of home ownership. “I already have a lot of guilt and shame because I have bills I am unable to pay,� said Wilder, who works as the crisis intervention coordinator at ECKAN. “Some of these bills, it’s hard to see them.

You put them away.

You don’t want to deal with them. Anju helped me deal with them in a healthy manner.�

It’s only been nine months since Wilder attended Money Matters, and she is already well on her way to reaching her financial goals. She has bumped up her credit score 28 points. She is paying off debt while also saving for a down payment. And she’s adding to her wish list for her new home. “It would be nice if each of the kids had their own room, and a garage or a shed because my husband is a mechanic and has a lot of tools, and some sort of yard for our dog. And, central air!�

Yacht Club closes; downtown wine shop planned

T

hankfully there are still plenty of opportunities around the house for me to wear my captain’s hat and talk like Thurston Howell III. But there’s one less opportunity to do so in the Lawrence nightlife scene.

All indications are that the longtime Lawrence bar The Yacht Club has closed.

The phone line for the business has been disconnected, and I’ve chatted with a business associate of the owner who said the bar’s not just on short break. Attempts to reach the owner haven’t yet been successful.

If you are having a hard time picturing where The Yacht Club was located, don’t feel bad (unless you have driven your car into a deep body of water looking for it). You do have to be able to navigate by the stars a bit to find the spot at 530 Wisconsin St. It is a short block off Sixth Street behind the shopping center that houses Subway.

But I’m guessing many of you knew exactly where the business was at, especially if you spent any time at KU. I don’t know exactly how long the business has been in operation, but I know from personal experience that it has been more than 20 years.

Many Jayhawk fans at some point made their way into the business to see the old replica scoreboard that back in the day listed the final score of the Jayhawks’ 1988 national championship triumph over Oklahoma.

I think later the score was changed to show the 2008 national championship over Memphis.

No, I don’t know what is happening to the scoreboard, but I’ll ask if I get in touch with the owner.

The bar underwent a

Kansas City strikes new deal to create ‘Smart City’ network Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Kansas City and two companies have reached an agreement to create a $15.7 million set of high-tech services along the 2.2-mile downtown streetcar line that’s expected to be operating next year.

Overland Park-based Sprint Corp. has pledged about $7 million to build and own a Wi-Fi network along the streetcar line to provide services to its customers, The Kansas City Star reported. The city will use the network to provide free Wi-Fi access to the public, much the way restaurants and other venues do.

Cisco Systems is pitching in about $5 million, and the city of Kansas City is contributing $3.7 million for the “Smart City� services, which will include smart lighting, cameras and sensors.

The system also will include 25 interactive digital kiosks along the route that can provide information about local cultural events, food and entertainment, and other businesses and city ser-

vices such as the 311 Action Center. “This is just one more feather in our cap that makes us special and will make our streetcar line even more special,�

Mayor Sly James said Thursday.

Sensors along the route will collect data from the lights, traffic signals, pavement and water pipes to help the city provide more efficient services.

Energy-efficient lighting at strategic points on the route is expected to save the city in operating and maintenance costs, City Manager Troy Schulte said.

The network will use Cisco equipment and can start being developed now that the agreements have been signed, Sprint spokeswoman Jennifer Walsh said.

The intent of the agreements is for the free WiFi to be available to pedestrians and others one the street, she said.

The features are expected to be operational when the streetcar opens to the public, probably on or before March 1, 2016.

Pet concerns Local awareness has certainly been raised about fire codes to protect animals in pet-related facilities.

T

wo fires that killed animals at local pet-related businesses has drawn some justified attention from city officials.

A number of measures have been proposed to improve animal safety at such facilities. Last week, Lawrence city commissioners received proposals from the city fire marshal that would require new and existing pet-related businesses to install smoke alarms that are connected to a monitoring system, to have fire extinguishers on their premises and to have carbon monoxide detectors if they operate gas appliances or other devices that use an open flame.

Pet-related businesses that occupy more than 3,000 square feet also would be required to install fire sprinklers as part of any new construction or a significant building renovation.

The fire last November at Christal K-9 and one a couple of weeks ago at Pet World pulled at the heartstrings of anyone who loves animals. The incidents certainly suggest that some city action is warranted, but commissioners are smart not to move too quickly to place new restrictions on pet-related businesses.

A co-owner of Pet World told commissioners last week that all Lawrence businesses that house animals should be required to have fire sprinklers. Installing fire sprinklers is not inexpensive, but many animal lovers probably agree with her that “money should not be the deciding factor” in protecting animals.

However, there are other factors to be considered. In a letter to city commissioners, the executive director of the Lawrence Humane Society pointed out that most animal-related businesses in Lawrence are smaller than 3,000 square feet. She also said that, while the fire marshal’s recommendations “are a step in the right direction,” more study is needed to write a code that both prevents more tragedies and fairly represents different kinds of animal facilities in Lawrence. She recommended a task force be appointed for this purpose, which commissioners may or may not think is necessary.

Steps likely are needed to protect animals housed in a variety of facilities around Lawrence, but city commissioners should take the time to gather the information they need to support their decision on fire code changes.

Politics shouldn’t be regulated Washington — Campaign finance “reformers” think America would be better governed if the government could thoroughly regulate campaign speech, which is speech about the composition and comportment of the government.

Reformers scold the Supreme Court for construing the First Amendment as though it says “Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech.” Reformers say government can limit campaign money without limiting what most such money funds — political speech.

And since the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United decision, reformers have been lamenting a predictable consequence of their success in imposing limits on contributions to candidates and campaigns.

The consequence is the rise of super PACs dedicated to the support of single candidates. So now, reformers insist that super PACs’ spending is not really “independent” because it is, in effect, “coordinated.” Well.

Since 1976, the court has held that the only legitimate purpose for limits on political contributions is to prevent quid pro quo corruption or the appearance thereof. Citizens United left undisturbed the 1907 proscription on corporate contributions to candidates’ campaigns. Citizens United said only, and unremarkably, that citizens do

The court has consistently held that regulation of campaign financing is constitutional when it regulates conduct rather than speech.” not forfeit their First Amendment rights when they come together in corporations — usually nonprofit corporations, e.g., the Sierra Club, the NAACP, Planned Parenthood — for the shared purpose of advocacy independent of (not coordinated with) any candidate’s campaign. The court said independent advocacy expenditures “do not give rise to” corruption or its appearance.

Two months later, the nation’s second-most important court, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, ruled 9-0 against Federal Election Commission limits on the size of contributions to independent advocacy committees, including single-candidate super PACs that make no contributions

to campaigns and operate independent of candidates and parties.

Super PACs are the result of these decisions — and of the reformers’ success in limiting giving to parties and candidates. Reformers, who think “independent” should be a synonym for “disinterested,” are appalled by super PACs working to facilitate the election of particular candidates. The Supreme Court, however, has held that limits on the amount an individual can contribute to a candidate or campaign organization are minor restrictions on a person’s political expression because the person can spend elsewhere “to discuss candidates and issues” through independent expenditures.

Thus former FEC Chairman Bradley Smith, in “Super PACs and the Role of ‘Coordination’ in Campaign Finance Law” (Willamette Law Review, Summer 2013), notes that “without the escape valve of independent expenditures, contribution limits would constitute a much greater infringement on speech.” The court’s focus on quid pro quo corruption clearly demonstrates, Smith says, that the court is not allowing limitations on speech. Rather, it is sanctioning “regulation of a particular type of conduct — the overt exchange of campaign contributions for legislative favors that may not extend

to the level of bribery.”

The court has consistently held that regulation of campaign financing is constitutional when it regulates conduct rather than speech. The court has implicitly rejected, as a reason for regulating contributions to independent groups, the supposition that large donations distort the political process.

While rejecting direct limits on speech, the court allows limits on contacts between speakers (contributors) and candidates or their campaigns.

Casual observers of politics, including most voters, are understandably puzzled by the process of contributing to super PACs independent of (not “coordinated with”) the candidates the super PACs are created to help.

Smith’s answer is that “anti-coordination” rules are required if limits on contributions to candidates are to have even today’s minimal effects. The limits the reformers hoped would decrease cynicism about politics are increasing it, which is just another unpleasant surprise for reformers who are repeatedly surprised by their own consequences. Someday even they might understand the wisdom of choosing what the Constitution, properly construed, actually requires — unregulated politics.

West must confront Putin’s Ukraine lies “I can tell you outright and unequivocally that there are no Russian troops in Ukraine,” Russian President Vladimir Putin told a live TV audience in April.

He was flat-out lying. Moscow has armed and directed the so-called “rebel forces” in eastern Ukraine and bolstered them with its own troops.

Thousands of Russian troops are massing on Ukraine’s eastern border, possibly poised for a further invasion.

Yet Western leaders still won’t publicly challenge Putin’s lies.

“If you don’t call it by what it is, there is less pressure to confront the real issues,” John Herbst, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, told me last week.

Indeed, European leaders still hope that Russia will finally abide by a ceasefire signed in February in Minsk, Belarus, which called for the removal of foreign troops from Ukraine, the pulling back of heavy weapons, and the disbanding of “illegal groups.” So far the accord has failed miserably. Why should anyone be surprised? Russia denies it sent troops or weapons into Ukraine or created the illegal groups that began the war.

The White House denounces Russian aggression in Ukraine — Vice President Biden recently declared that the conflict is “a test for the West.” Yet President Barack

Trudy Rubin trubin@phillynews.com

Obama apparently still (fruitlessly) hopes for greater Russian cooperation on Iran or Syria, and shows little stomach for challenging Putin’s aggression in Ukraine.

Obama sent Secretary of State John Kerry to meet Putin in Sochi last month, where Kerry reportedly showed him photos of Russian air defenses and other weapons in eastern Ukraine as proof the United States knew what he was up to. But Kerry didn’t make the photos public, and Russian officials dismissed the NATO evidence as misinformation.

No surprise: The state-controlled press billed the Kerry visit as a capitulation.

Clearly, the Kremlin feels it can continue to destabilize Ukraine — and to deny that it is directing the war there. By refusing to confront those lies more directly, the West plays into the Kremlin’s hands.

Even without access to Western satellite photos, it is possible to pierce the fog of Kremlin denials. The Atlantic Council, an independent Washington think tank,

has produced a report, called “Hiding in Plain Sight: Putin’s War in Ukraine,” that uses publicly available sources to counter Russian propaganda.

Using Google’s Street View, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, satellite photographs, Vkontakte (Russia’s Facebook), and Russian documents and media reports, it documents the role of Russian troops and weapons in Ukraine. It also contains interviews with Russian soldiers who have fought in Ukraine.

The report’s purpose, says Herbst, who now directs the council’s Eurasia program, is “to help stir a stronger response to very serious Russian aggression.”

“Western political leaders should speak clearly about … Russian forces fighting in Ukraine and the Kremlin’s direction of the campaign,” the report says. “To do otherwise buttresses Putin’s attempt to obfuscate Russia’s direct role in the conflict.”

In other words, failing to confront Putin’s lies about Ukraine only encourages him to do worse.

Putin is clearly worried lest his public learn that Russia is fighting in Ukraine (polls show that Russians don’t want their sons dying abroad).

State-controlled media report nothing on soldiers’ deaths in Ukraine, and Russian journalists seeking such information have been beaten up. Putin

just declared that information about soldiers’ deaths in special operations, in “peacetime,” must be kept secret.

So the Russian leader is vulnerable — if his public realizes the country is at war.

The Atlantic Council proposes that Western governments make public, as far as is possible, details of Putin’s aggression in Ukraine and share more intelligence details with Kiev. Western officials should speak “clearly, consistently, and publicly about Russia’s war against Ukraine,” the report says. I’d add that the European Union’s sanctions against Moscow for its Ukraine aggression, which are due to expire in June, should be continued. And if Putin continues his aggression, Washington should send Kiev arms.

But it all starts with Putin’s lies, which are indeed a test for the West. If he can lie with impunity, at home and abroad, he can ignore the Minsk accords. He can continue to destabilize Ukraine, along with the Baltics and other NATO member states on which he has designs.

So it’s time to make clear — to Western publics and Russians alike — that Putin unequivocally is running the war in Ukraine and that Russian troops can no longer hide in plain sight.

Obama targets Russia at G-7 U.S. urges group to keep sanctions over Ukraine

President Obama waves as he is welcomed by German Chancellor Angela Merkel upon arrival at a breakfast meeting Sunday with residents in Kruen near GarmischPartenkirchen, Germany.

Kim Hjelmgaard USA TODAY

ANDY MARLIN, USA TODAY SPORTS

uDetails of Hope Solo’s arrest come out in report uForget the noise: Oil prices won’t crash again uSoldier who killed 16 Afghans says he was “consumed COOL by war” STUFF

GETTY IMAGES

GARMISCH - PARTENKIRCHEN, GERMANY World leaders holding

talks in Germany said Sunday they would push to maintain economic sanctions on Russia until a peace plan for Ukraine is fully implemented.

President Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel discussed the issue as the two-day Group of Seven, or G-7, summit, got underway.

The White House said “the duration of the sanctions should be clearly linked to Russia’s full implementation of the Minsk agreements and respect for Ukraine’s sovereignty.”

The White House statement

ROBERT MICHAEL AFP/GETTY IMAGES

was referring to the cease-fire deal reached in February during talks in Minsk, Belarus.

Obama on Monday will also meet with Iraqi Prime Minister Haider-al-Abadi, who may press the U.S. and its allies for more military support to combat the Islamic State militants.

Leaders from the United States, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan are meeting here in Germany’s Alpine region near the border with

Austria. The European Union is also represented. Russia was excluded for the second year in a row for backing Ukrainian separatists — an allegation it denies.

The push to extend sanctions targeting Russia’s economy and banks comes even as Washington has admitted the measures have not dramatically shifted Russian President Vladimir Putin’s position about the conflict in Ukraine.

Donald Tusk, president of the European Council, said at a news

conference that Russia would not be invited back as long as it behaves aggressively against Ukraine and other countries. “Our group is not only a political and economic group of interests, but first of all this is a community of values,” the Polish politician said.

Obama arrived in Munich, in southern Germany, early Sunday.

He then boarded a helicopter to the mountain village of Kruen to sample Bavarian food and culture and met privately with Merkel, an ally whose diplomatic patience was tested in recent years by revelations that the National Security Agency tapped her cellphone.

Amid a few joking references to lederhosen and beer — Obama said he forgot to bring his German leather breeches and urged the crowd to drink beer — he said the G-7 would seek a consensus over standing up to Russian aggression in Ukraine and combating violent extremism, as well as discuss climate change and trade.

“It was a very fine beer. I wish I was staying,” Obama said.

Mystery surrounds how men got tools to cut steel walls John Bacon USA TODAY

A massive manhunt rolled across rural Upstate New York and spread across the nation Sunday after an elaborate and daring escape by two convicted killers who fled a maximum-security prison that hadn’t been breached in 150 years.

Hundreds of law enforcement officers aided by dogs, roadblocks and helicopters blanketed the area after authorities said the men cut through steel pipes, slipped through tunnels and escaped into the night through a manhole a block outside the prison walls.

“It was elaborate. It was sophisticated,” New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. He announced a $100,000 reward for information leading to the capture of Richard Matt, 48, and David Sweat, 34.

“It could have been a plot from a movie,” Cuomo said on Good

Morning America.

The men disappeared Friday night or Saturday morning from the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, about 20 miles from the Canadian border. State Police said the men, who were in adjoining cells, were counted as present Friday night but were missing at a 5:30 a.m. bed check.

Cuomo said the men apparently placed stuffed clothes in their beds to avoid the detection of correctional officers who peer into the cells every two hours during the night.

Turkish vote a defeat for Erdogan, a win for minorities President loses single-party majority Lucy Kafanov

Special for USA TODAY DIYARBAKIR , TURKEY

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his ruling party suffered a crushing defeat at the ballot box Sunday, as results showed the government losing its single-party majority for the first time since sweeping to power in 2002.

With nearly all the votes counted, the governing Justice and Development Party (AKP)

received 41% of the vote, according to broadcaster CNN Turk.

The outcome sounds the death knell for Erdogan’s hopes of changing the constitution to concentrate more power in an executive presidency, while denying his Islamist-rooted government the number of seats needed to form a government alone.

Sunday’s historic vote ushers in a new era for Turkey’s largest ethnic minority. The pro-Kurdish People’s Democratic Party (HDP) was on track to win 13% of the vote — well above the 10% threshold for representation in Parliament — having restyled itself as a liberal party that repre-

sents the country’s disenfranchised minorities and voters angry with Erdogan’s increasingly authoritarian rule.

HDP leader Selahattin Demirtas called his party’s ability to cross the threshold a “fabulous victory for peace and freedoms” that came despite fierce campaigning by Erdogan. “As of now the discussions on a presidential system, a dictatorship has come to an end,” he said, according to the Associated Press.

Despite the blow to the governing party, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu was defiant, claiming that the AKP “emerged victorious” in Sunday’s vote.

Soner Cagaptay, a fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, called HDP the winner “and the loser is Erdogan’s presidential ambition.”

The result marks the first time that a Kurdish party will sit in the Turkish Parliament.

Wild celebrations erupted in the predominantly Kurdish city of Diyarbakir, an HDP stronghold. Cheering supporters took to the streets, honking car horns, setting off fireworks and shooting off rounds of celebratory gunfire.

The AKP will have 45 days to form a coalition government, and if unable to do so, Erdogan could call an early election.

VOICES

Boys in blue: I walked in their shoes Marisol Bello @Marisol_Bello Special for USA TODAY

ALEXANDRIA , VA . Let me start off by saying I do not have what it takes to be a police officer.

I know this thanks to a simulation I took part in at the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund to get a glimpse of the split second, life-and-death decisions officers make every day.

As exercise after exercise came up on the screen with actors simulating real-life scenarios that officers encounter, I had to assess whether a situation was dangerous, decide what to say, determine if I needed to shoot — all the while remembering the Supreme Court cases that govern the conditions under which officers can use deadly force.

I failed in every category.

Across the country, communities of color and police are squaring off about how officers treat residents and suspects.

Cases of white officers killing unarmed black men have raised questions about police abusing their authority with no accountability.

Now, the Legal Defense Fund, which provides attorneys and pays legal costs for officers charged with crimes while on duty, is making training simulations normally reserved for officers open to the public as a way to help people understand the uncertain situations that officers step into every day.

“Our hope is to educate people,” says Ron Hosko, the legal fund’s president and a veteran FBI agent.

He says police and the com-

Reporter Marisol Bello draws her gun as a man comes at her in a police action simulator. munities they serve, particularly those of color, need to understand each other better. He hopes the simulations are a first step, but recognizes much more has to happen.

“We’re up for a conversation,” he says.

The simulations are changing some minds. The Rev. Markel Hutchins, an Atlanta civil rights advocate who has been a vocal opponent of police abuse, did a series of police training exercises in April that he says opened his eyes to the dangers officers face.

“The training sensitized me in a way no other effort could have,” Hutchins says. “Our obligation is to promote understanding.”

Hutchins, who is black, says

I had to assess whether a situation was dangerous, decide what to say, determine if I needed to shoot — all the while remembering the Supreme Court cases that govern the conditions under which officers can use deadly force.

the simulations helped him understand that a police shooting doesn’t simply stem from the fact that an officer is racist. He’s taking his new perspective to host a citywide town hall meeting and rally on June 13 with residents and police.

Some civil rights activists are wary of efforts by police organizations they say are not demanding accountability from their officers.

“This is a question about a system where police have no accountability and trust that has been broken,” says Rashad Robinson, executive director of the online civil rights organization Color of Change. “We have no need to go to their office and play video games.”

Given the emotion surround-

ing the deadly police encounters that have led to violent protests, most recently in Baltimore, I was nervous. My overriding concern was not to shoot without justification.

And on my very first exercise, without asking a single question, I shot a man who came out of a car trunk with a gun. I learned quickly through each exercise that the gun becomes a safety net for any dangerous or uncertain situation. I also had a chemical spray, but I never used it.

In one scenario, I let a carjacker go free because I couldn’t assess the situation quickly enough; in another, my partner in an active shooter situation at a school was shot next to me before I shot the suspect; in a third, I was stabbed by a man who said he was going to take out his wallet and show me his ID. In another exercise, I responded to a domestic call by a woman who says her boyfriend hit her and has a gun. He came raging through a side room with a bottle in his hand; I tried to get him to put it down. He left, then returned empty-handed, yelling at the woman. And suddenly she reached into the sink and shot him three times.

I was stunned. I put my hand on my mouth and yelled, “Oh,” with what Defense Fund trainer Bryan Patterson described as a deer in headlights look. The woman put the gun on the kitchen counter within easy reach and stared at me. My right hand was on the butt of my gun, but I never took it out of the holster. I never moved to disarm her.

“You will be replaying that one over in your mind for a few weeks,” Patterson said. He was right.

First escape from maximum-security section v CONTINUED FROM 1B

The prison immediately went into lockdown. Cuomo, who visited the site Saturday, said it was the first escape from the maximum-security section of the prison built in 1865.

State Police Maj. Charles Guess said more than 250 officers from several departments were combing the area. More than 150 tips had been called in; all were being checked out, he said.

He said “limited” cutting tools were found, but officials are continuing to search for power tools Guess said must have been used.

Cuomo said the men drilled through steel walls and pipes.

Mystery surrounds how the men obtained the tools and how their efforts went unheeded.

“We want to find out how it happened,” Cuomo said. “How did they get the power tools?

From who? How? So we will undertake a full investigation to make sure that this was the first and the last time that anyone escaped from this facility.”

Cuomo spokesman Gareth Rhodes tweeted a photo of a note

IN BRIEF SHARK ATTACK LEAVES CHILD WITH SEVERE LEG INJURY

An 11-year-old boy is recovering after being severely bitten at least twice on the leg by a shark in waist-deep waters off Cocoa Beach in Florida on Sunday.

The boy was visiting Lori Wilson Park in Cocoa Beach with his family and a group of other people when he waded into the water.

At 10:50 a.m., a Brevard County Ocean Rescue lifeguard spotted the boy thrashing in the water.

“He was in waist-deep waters near his mother and our lifeguards saw him in distress,” Eisen Witcher, assistant chief of Ocean Rescue, told Florida Today.

“There was blood in the water,” he said.

A lifeguard immediately went into the water and pulled the youth to shore. The boy had a large cut on his lower right calf.

He was taken to Cape Canaveral Hospital by ambulance. Because of the severity of the bite, he was flown to Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and Women in Orlando.

Several witnesses at the beach

robbing and killing Niagara County businessman William Rickerson in 1997. Rickerson’s son, William Jr., told NBC News, “I just hope they catch him.”

Matt fled to Mexico in 1998 before he could be arrested, and there he stabbed a man outside a bar and was imprisoned for murder. Mexican authorities released him in 2007, and he was extradited to the United States. Matt was convicted by a Niagara County jury in 2008.

Matt has a history of escape, having broken out of the Erie County Jail in 1986 by scaling a fence. He was captured after four days, the Buffalo News reported in 2008.

Guess urged the public to report any suspicious activity — but not to attempt to apprehend the duo. Authorities across the nation and in Canada and Mexico had been alerted, he said.

In Canada, the escape prompted the Ontario Provincial Police force to issue an internal alert to its officers.

several southern Mexican states on Sunday as protesters tried to disrupt elections seen as a test for President Enrique Pena Nieto’s government.

About 80 million people were eligible to vote for 500 seats in the lower house of Congress, nine governorships and hundreds of

mayors and other local officials.

In Tixtla, a teachers union and parents of dozens of students who disappeared last year burned ballot boxes and ransacked offices of political parties, BBC News reported.

“We want the children to be found first, and then there can be elections,” Martina de la Cruz, the mother of one of the missing students, told the Associated Press.

Teachers also had a list of demands, including large wage increases, an end to teacher testing and the safe return of 42 missing students from a radical teachers college. Those students disappeared in September, and prosecutors say they were killed and incinerated by a drug gang, the AP reported. One student’s remains were identified by DNA testing.

The president deployed federal police and troops to guard polling stations.

Eduardo Sanchez, the president’s spokesman, said Saturday: “Mexicans have the right to vote in peace ... (we) will take all necessary measures within the framework of legality” to protect the elections, the BBC reported.

NATION/WORLD INVESTIGATING SEXUAL ASSAULT

SYSTEM TACKLES BACKLOG OF RAPE KITS Metro Detroit, UPS team up on new effort Melanie Eversley USA TODAY

Hundreds of thousands of U.S. sexual assault victims have gone through medical exams to obtain the DNA of their alleged attackers, only to have the evidence sit unused and not analyzed for years, sometimes decades.

But now, metro Detroit may have found a way to combat the problem that has plagued cities from Cleveland to New York to Jacksonville, Fla. The Wayne County, Mich., prosecutor’s office has teamed up with United Parcel Service to create a system that will prevent valuable DNA evidence from being abandoned.

The system, known as UPS

Trackpad, uses the same technology as UPS package tracking and allows officials to know where evidence is at any point in the process and what has been done to it.

Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy was set to announce the partnership today.

Worthy’s office and UPS hope the system might help other communities deal with backlogged evidence from sexual assaults.

Last week, the U.S. House approved putting $45 million in a spending bill for work on the sexual assault kit backlog. There are 400,000 untested sexual assault kits across the country, the U.S. Department of Justice says.

In Detroit, the issue came to light in 2009 when a government employee discovered more than

11,000 sexual assault kits in a warehouse leased by local government. Some of the kits had been there 30 years.

The Wayne County program with UPS, launched in January, has yielded some success. To date, 10,000 of the kits found in that warehouse have been tested.

As of May 29, 326 suspected serial sex offenders have been identified in 32 states based on those tested kits. Eighteen convictions resulted from the new evidence as of May 31, Worthy’s office says.

When samples provided by rape victims go untested, suspects who could have been identified by DNA may commit more crimes.

Said Worthy of the new program, “As law enforcers in this county, we knew we had to improve the system.”

A May 17 shootout between rival biker gangs at the Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco, Texas, left nine people dead. Several hundred motorcyclists showed up on Sunday to protest the arrests of 177 people following the shooting.

Several hundred bikers rumbled into Waco, Texas, on Sunday to peacefully demonstrate against last month’s shooting and mass arrest of fellow bikers.

The “All for 1” protest was organized via Facebook and drew motorcyclists from all over the region. They set up at a parking lot near the McLennan County Courthouse, where the cases of many of those arrested are being heard.

The bikers were protesting the police response to the melee May 17 at the Twin Peaks Restaurant between rival biker gangs. The fight began in the parking lot and quickly escalated into a bloody gunbattle, leaving nine dead and 18 injured. Police took part and arrested more than 170 bikers.

Bail was set at $1 million each.

Protesters at Sunday’s rally wore T-shirts reading “Waco Biker Massacre” and held up signs stating, “Bikers Have Rights Too!” The rally began peacefully at around 1:30 p.m., as rows of bikers circled the county courthouse. Of the 177 bikers who were arrested, more than 100 remain behind bars. Supporters say most of them are innocent.

taurant at the time of the incident, regardless of whether or not there was individualized probable cause to arrest and detain a particular individual and to do so based on ‘fill in the name’ complaints without individualized facts,” the lawsuit says.

Waco police did not respond to several requests for comment.

Sunday’s protest was organized by the Dallas chapter of the Sons of Liberty motorcycle club.

The Confederation of Clubs and Independents urged members in an email to avoid the protest so as not to “exacerbate” the situation. That group organized the May 17 meeting.

The brawl was sparked by a fight between members of rival gangs Bandidos Outlaw Motorcycle Gang and the Cossacks. Texas law enforcement agents classify the Bandidos as a “Tier 2” gang, along with Bloods, Crips and the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas, and say they participate in drug running and violent retaliation against rivals. But gang leaders have said the group is mostly peaceful and the situation was exacerbated by police.

Police said the gang members knew police were monitoring the May 17 meeting but opened fire regardless. “They knew we were seconds away but it mattered not to them,” a Waco police spokesman, Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton, said at the time. “They were killing people and then turned their guns on officers.”

The Republican presidential dance card is being filled out, and the public soon will know whether to pencil in Chris Christie and Scott Walker.

Christie told CBS’ Face The Nation in an interview broadcast Sunday that he’ll probably decide this month whether to join the already crowded GOP presidential field. But he must first answer a basic question.

Does he really want to do this?

“I go through all the different factors that I need to consider, and when I’m done I check that off and I move to the next factor,” the New Jersey governor said.

“And the factor I’m down to now … is do I want to do it? Do I want to do it? In my heart, is this something that I really, absolutely want to do?”

Christie is also waiting for the end of the New Jersey legislative session to make an announcement.

“Well, the budget will be done hopefully by the end of June,” Walker said. “Shortly thereafter, we’ll announce our intentions.”

Walker, in the meantime, is doing well in the polls — especially in Iowa, the site of the first Republican nomination contest — but he doesn’t want to be known as the GOP front-runner.

Instead, he would like to pin that label on the well-funded Bush.

“Well, I think Gov. Bush is still probably up there up front because he’s going to have more money than just about all of us combined,” Walker said Sunday on ABC’s This Week. “But we’re feeling good.”

It’s a familiar story: No candidate wants to declare him- or herself the front-runner, especially this early in a political contest. In that position there’s nowhere to go but down.

The Indianapolis Star INDIANAPOLIS The founder of one of the largest organic produce farms in Indiana says “Farming’s not for sissies.”

Matt Ewer, 37, is the latest generation of agriculturalists to tackle the challenges of organic farming in Indiana.

The state doesn’t exactly have the climate that favors organic farming. It’s often too hot or too cold, with subtropic-like humidity in the growing season. There are fierce and frequent storms and lots of insects and disease. Plus, the state’s ag culture caters to row-crop farmers, who stick to corn and soybeans and want little to do with lettuce and the like.

But Ewer has clearly tapped into something: a fast-growing consumer appetite for organic, locally grown eats. And a willingness to pay for it.

He’s doing what few organic produce farms in the state have pulled off: Achieving scale, so that his farm pumps out produce by the pallet load and he can compete in price with big out-of-state growers.

The model for what Ewer is doing is a thriving, well-known organic produce grower near Seattle called Full Circle Farm.

Ewer was manager there for five years before returning to

Annual gathering offers app makers a few heads-ups

Apple Music

Jefferson Graham USA TODAY

LOS ANGELES Apple kicks off its Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco on Monday, where it updates about 5,000 app makers on mobile and desktop software.

Apple uses the WWDC as a sneak peek for developers to get excited about making apps for its phones, tablets, watch and computers.

Consumers take note, because when Apple sneak peeks, it gives an advance look into what the next iteration of Apple products will look like.

For instance, every fall, Apple issues a new iPhone.

Apple will preview the update to its mobile operating system, iOS, at WWDC, showcasing many new features that will appear on the new iPhone — and be available for current and past iPhones as well.

Graham, Ed Baig, Marco della Cava, and Jon Swartz will be covering WWDC.

APPLE MUSIC A new paid streaming service, Apple Music, is expected to be part of iOS 9, with a very prominent position — one of four key apps on the iPhone home screen, next to Phone, Mail and Internet browser Safari.

“Nobody else is going to have that kind of real estate,” says Peter Csathy, CEO of Manatt Digital Media, a Los Angeles-based venture firm and consultancy. “That’s a significant advantage.”

Apple paid $3 billion in 2014 to purchase Beats Electronics, which makes pricey headphones and also has the Beats Music streaming music service. The music app never

caught on in a big way with consumers — it has 300,000 paying subscribers to Spotify’s 15 million, but Apple said it hopes that with heavy promotion, and some celebrity DJ content in its programmed radio stations, it will find a bigger audience.

On our weekly Talking Tech Roundtable podcast, Fred Seibert, who runs the Channel Frederator online cartoon company, said he doesn’t think the front-page iPhone promo will do the trick.

“I make a folder for all the Apple apps, and put them away,” he said. “I find them to be pretty useless.”

IOS 9 Faster operations, with a smaller upload. The previous iOS 8 was a monster at 2 GBs. Apple has reportedly found a way to make the new version on phones not take up so much space. “This will be a big improvement on older devices,” says 9to5Mac senior editor Mark Gurman.

APPLE TV Look at the lead art in this story, the invite for the WWDC, and you’ll notice the Apple TV streaming box is in the center.

So naturally, there were big expectations for Apple to re-launch Apple TV with a hardware update, new remote control, Siri integration and a push for developers to make apps for Apple TV. But according to many reports

this week, Apple pulled the plug on prime-time exposure for Apple TV because the new box isn’t ready, and the mini-streaming network Apple is looking to put together, to take on Netflix, doesn’t have enough networks signed up.

Still, we wouldn’t be surprised if Apple gives a little spotlight to Apple TV on Monday, boasting about how many units they’ve

sold, and giving a little push for developer love.

You can watch the live stream of the Apple event at 1 p.m. ET (10 a.m. PT) on Monday morning @apple.com/live.

(Note: It is only available on Apple devices, so on the computer, you’ll need to have your Safari browser open. On TV you can watch the stream on Apple TV via its WWDC channel.)

Better notifications. iOS will work with Calendar, Contacts and Passbook to reportedly provide better informed updates to your day and interests. This is Apple’s attempt to take on Google Now, which is a popular feature of the Google app, available on iOS but more efficient on Android phones, to suggest movie listings, news articles and other updates based on your interests.

TRAVEL ASK THE CAPTAIN

Jump seats: Everything you wanted to know John Cox

Special for USA TODAY

Q: Is it possible for a civilian to get to ride in the jump seat? If yes, how does one go about this?

— Submitted by reader Oliver, Chicago A: No. Following 9/11, security measures and requirements for jump seat authority eliminated “civilians.” Sorry.

6

WAYS THE U.S. COULD IMPROVE FOREIGN TRAVEL 74M international visitors spent $222 billion in the U.S. last year

rect flight to the USA. The countries that could get preclearance are: Belgium, the Dominican Republic, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

4

Upgrading 17 airports.

The administration is also working on improving the experience when travelers arrive to the USA at 17 airports that account for nearly three-quarters of arrivals in the USA. The goal, Pritzker says, is “to simplify and streamline the entry process all while not compromising our national security.”

Through a series of public-private partnerships valued at $20 million, 340 additional automated passport control kiosks will be installed to reduce wait times by up to 30%.

Other changes include better signage and a streamlined baggage claim process.

Q: Is there currently any domestic or international airline that allows a verifiable retired pilot from a major U.S. carrier to ride in the jump seat?

— via email A: No, the only exception is when a retired pilot is part of an external operations audit and has special permission to observe specific flights.

Q: Why are A&P (airframe and power plant) mechanics not allowed to ride jump seat anymore? I would think a flight crew would like to have that knowledge base available to them.

— Tom, Aurora, Ill. A: The regulatory agencies, such as the FAA, make the rules about who can fly in the jump seat. It’s generally a person with a direct need or expertise to be there. In the past, A&P mechan-

Q: My late father was a pilot for an airline that no longer exists. They had an arrangement with the local football team, and when my dad got word that one of the 300-pound linemen was a white-knuckle flier, he brought him into the cockpit and had him sit in the jump seat. He would point out some of the controls — “This is the airspeed indicator, like the speedometer in your car” —— and then reach down and shut down the engines, and point out that neither the airspeed nor altitude had dropped like a rock. He then calmly ran the engines back up to cruising speed. That player not only became one of his best friends but was never scared of flying again.

— Ted, St. Louis A: That approach would never be done today.

Q: In your earlier column about who gets to ride in the jump seat, you excluded flight dispatchers.

— JC, PIT A: Dispatchers are an essential part of the team that makes flying safe. Yes, dispatchers do ride on the jump seat to keep familiar with the flight operation. I always enjoyed having a dispatcher in the cockpit.

ORLANDO

U.S. Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker says the U.S. is on the path to welcome 100 million international visitors annually by 2021 because of efforts such Nancy Trejos as expanding the visa waiver program USA TODAY and decreasing visa wait times.

In an interview with USA TODAY at the U.S. Travel Association’s IPW travel industry conference in Orlando, Pritzker outlined the Obama administration’s plan to attract international visitors. It includes increasing the number of countries whose citizens don’t have to get visas, improving the arrival process at 17 U.S. airports, and expanding a program that allows travelers from other countries to go through customs before boarding their flights to the USA. “We’re trying to improve our positioning because it’s a competitive landscape,” she said.

The administration launched the National Travel and Tourism Strategy in 2012. Last year, there were about 74 million international visitors to the USA, who spent an estimated $222 billion.

Pritzker, whose father co-founded Hyatt Hotels, outlined the administration’s strategy for increasing tourism from other countries. The highlights:

1

Expanding the visa waiver program.

The number of countries whose citizens can enter the USA for business or leisure travel for up to 90 days has grown to 38. The most recent additions include Greece, Taiwan and Chile.

Pritzker says that 59% of international visitors come from those countries.

2

Decreasing visa waits.

The amount of time that visitors from countries that do require visas has decreased, Pritzker says.

“Our wait times in some countries were several months, and now our wait times have been brought down to less than five days, which is considered very competitive globally,” she says.

3

Increasing the number of countries with preclearance.

Last week, the Department of Homeland Security announced its intention to begin negotiations to expand its preclearance program to 10 airports in nine foreign countries.

Preclearance allows visitors to go through immigration and customs by U.S. Customs and Border Protection before boarding a di-

Boosting tourism from China.

The administration has focused its efforts on encouraging travel from China, the fourth-largest market for inbound tourism.

Pritzker says that extending visa validity for Chinese travelers from one to 10 years has increased demand for visas by citizens of that country by 50%.

The administration is expecting the number of Chinese visitors to more than double to about 5 million a year by 2019.

“You can see there is tremendous growth potential,” she said.

Chris Thompson, president and CEO of Brand USA, says that Chinese visitors spend on average $6,000 a person on each trip to the USA. That’s about 30% more than other international travelers.

6

Reauthorizing Brand USA, a marketing organization made up of public and private partnerships to promote the USA. President Obama signed a bill into law in December that included federal funding for Brand USA through fiscal 2020.

Brand USA generated more than 2 million incremental international visitors in the last two years, according to a new study by Oxford Economics, a global forecasting firm. Those visitors spent $6.5 billion.

“I think it got off to a bit of a rocky start, but now I think it’s doing a bang-up job,” Pritzker said, “and there’s so much potential.”

Easy ways to find a parking spot Parkopedia, Parking Panda, others cut down on the hassle Christopher Elliott Special for USA TODAY

GETTY IMAGES/ISTOCKPHOTO

Need a place to park? So does everyone else this summer.

Finding a spot is a problem that’s as old as the automobile. And for almost that long, the solution has remained frustratingly constant: Get there early, look carefully and hope for the best. As the busy driving season rolls around, chances are you’ll be hearing that recycled advice more than a few times.

Except now. Just when you thought there wasn’t anything new to say about this old problem, it turns out there is. If you’re renting a car or own a smartphone, you may have options.

For example, did you know that some car rental companies will allow you to park temporarily at other locations? That’s what happened when Harry Thompson rented a car in Houston recently.

“Hertz allowed me to park their car at their Houston location at no charge to me,” he says.

“With many travel services having a price tag, this complimentary service saved me the cost of ON TRAVEL EVERY MONDAY

Check your rental car company to see if they offer parking.

DRIVE OR USE MASS TRANSIT? This summer, here’s how to decide whether you should join the thousands of other tourists vying for a finite number of parking spots: u Is the price right? If the price of mass transit is equal to or exceeds the cost of fuel plus parking, you still have to consider the hassle factor. Fighting city traffic takes away from the enjoyment of your vacation. Even if all things are equal, you might still consider hopping on a train. u What’s your schedule? If you’re an early bird or a night owl, your schedule might not align with ridesharers or mass transit timetables. Maybe you’re better off driving and parking. u What are you driving? If you’re driving a vintage car or have an underinsured rental car, consider the very real possibility that you could leave an unsecure lot with damage to the vehicle. You may want to leave your vehicle in your hotel garage and find another way to get to your destination.

public parking and was most welcome.”

Turns out Hertz offers reciprocal parking to all of its customers, a little-known fact. “It can be done at any of our locations,” says Hertz spokeswoman Beth Davis.

Technology can also help. Consider what happened when Homayoun Gizabi, an information systems consultant from Wash-

ington, D.C., was looking for a better way to park there. Some garages charge $300 for a monthly parking pass, which left him doing what a lot of visitors to the nation’s capital do — looking for “early bird” specials and often being turned away because the garages filled up.

Gizabi heard about an app called Parking Panda

(parkingpanda.com) through a friend at work, which promised a shortcut and a price cut. The app could find an available space, allow him to reserve it, and pay for it without having to fumble for coins or a credit card. Plus, the colleague claimed he spent just $16 a day on parking in D.C., while Gizabi shelled out $25.

“It worked,” he says.

Parking Panda is available in major American cities where space is tight, like San Francisco, Dallas and New York. But what about other spots? Perhaps the most comprehensive technological solution is Parkopedia (en.parkopedia.com), an open database of available parking spots that covers more than 6,000 communities in 52 countries.

I consulted Parkopedia in my hometown, Orlando, and found an extensive listing of available parking spots close to downtown, with price, available spots, terms and contact information. The database even lists “free” spots that are farther away, which is helpful if you don’t mind getting a little exercise before you start sightseeing.

How about a more difficult parking scenario, like a special event?

There’s something for that, too.

ParkWhiz (parkwhiz.com) works a lot like Parking Panda, but it also specializes in events where finding a spot is either difficult or overpriced (and sometimes, both). It has partnerships with event tickets resellers such as StubHub and TicketsNow, as well as professional sports teams like the Indianapolis Colts.

Stars gather to honor excellence on Broadway Elysa Gardner @ElysaGardner USA TODAY

NEW YORK One of the big favorites at this year’s Tony Awards, grande dame of stage and screen Helen Mirren, was awarded her first Tony — by Bradley Cooper, another high-profile nominee (for The Elephant Man).

Mirren won leading actress in a play for Queen Elizabeth II, a role that previously earned her an Oscar, in the U.K. import The Audience. “Your Majesty did it again,” said Mirren during her acceptance speech Sunday night.

She acknowledged the cast of American and British actors, who “make the Atlantic” Ocean seem like “a little creek you can just pop across,” she said.

One of those Brits, Mirren’s costar Richard McCabe, won for featured actor in a play for his portrayal of Harold Wilson, one of numerous prime ministers who meet with the queen in the decades-spanning play. McCabe called Mirren “every bit as fantastic offstage as she is on.”

Later in the media room, asked if she’d portray the queen another time, Mirren quipped, “I don’t think I’ll do it again. I’m sure Her

Majesty is sick to the teeth with me.” More seriously, she spoke of the “incredible sense of community” in theater, “stronger here on Broadway than it is anywhere else that I’ve experienced.”

Annaleigh Ashford won the Tony for featured actress in a play, for a celebrated revival of You Can’t Take It With You. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time about a teen who is suspected of killing dog won for best play while its star, Alex Sharp, took home the prize for leading actor.

Skylight, starring Carey Mulligan and Bill Nighy, won for best revival of a play.

Musicals were, of course, in focus, starting with the opening number. Co-hosts Kristin Chenoweth and Alan Cumming, both Tony Award winners — and Chenoweth a nominee this year, for her leading performance in a revival of On the Twentieth Century — opened with a medley of show tunes and comic shtick that saluted nominees.

The shows that earned nominations for best musical this year represented the contemporary form in all its variety. An American in Paris and Fun Home had tied for most nominations, with 12 each. Paris was inspired by the beloved 1951 film. Fun Home, which took home the prize for best musical, was adapted from Alison Bechdel’s graphic memoir, and features a lesbian protagonist — played by three actresses as she

The musical Something Rotten!, a giddy, bawdy romp set in Shakespeare’s time — and featuring him as a rather buffoonish character — was a contender for 10, and had its share of champions. So did

The Visit, the chilling final collaboration between composer John Kander and late lyricist Fred Ebb, the team behind Chicago and Cabaret.

Christian Borle, who played Shakespeare in Rotten!, won for featured actor in a musical.

Fun Home won key creative awards in the pre-show, including best book and best original score for a musical. Its star, Michael Cerveris, won leading actor.

The King and I took home best revival of a musical while its Kelli O’Hara won for leading actress in a musical and Ruthie Ann Miles won featured actresss for her performance in that production.

Chenoweth and Cumming arrived on the red carpet together.

Asked how she had juggled her hosting duties with performing eight shows a week in On the Twentieth Century, Chenoweth said, “Prayer.”

Elisabeth Moss, nominated in for performance by a leading actress in a play for the acclaimed revival of The Heidi Chronicles, noted it was her first time at the Tonys. “It means a lot to me to be here because I don’t belong to the theater world, but I’ve always watched it and wanted to be part of it,” said the actress.

For George Takei, whose musical Allegiance is set to open on Broadway this fall, it was also the first time at the Tonys. He saluted the two “queens”: “Queen Helen of Mirren, and Queen Chita of Rivera.”

Iconic 1971 album reissued with alternate takes Brian Mansfield @Brian_Mansfield USA TODAY

The Rolling Stones’ decision to play every song from Sticky Fingers during a pre-tour warm-up show at Los Angeles’ Fonda Theatre in May came at the last minute.

“We’d never done anything like that before,” says guitarist Keith Richards, 71.

“But after listening to the rehearsals, we said we could do it and we should do it. Hopefully, somewhere down the line we can do it again.”

The Stones reissue the 1971 album this week, including previously unreleased takes of songs such as Brown Sugar and Wild Horses, along with live recordings made around the time of its initial release.

The Rolling Stones appeared last month at the Fonda Theatre in L.A. and performed every song from their classic album.

Code Tour, which continues Tuesday in Atlanta, refers to the album’s iconic Andy Warhol-designed cover, a close-up photograph of a man’s jeans. Original pressings of the album jacket had

a functional zipper.

During the tour, the Stones have been using Brown Sugar as a set-closer, highlighting other songs from the album, like Bitch, Wild Horses, Can’t You Hear Me

Knocking and the rarely played Moonlight Mile earlier in the show. “We’re going to be highlighting Sticky Fingers more than we usually do,” Richards says.

“We’re having fun playing it, so why not?”

Richards says he hopes to bring Sister Morphine, another live rarity, into the set list. “Playing it in rehearsals and at the Fonda Theatre, it’s a very powerful sound; Ronnie Wood’s playing some great slide,” he says. “Maybe because we haven’t done it for so long it kind of felt fresh — if morphine can be fresh.”

A highlight on the Sticky Fingers reissue is an alternate version of Brown Sugar featuring Eric Clapton on slide guitar. The recording was made at Richards’ 27th birthday party. . “Eric happened to be around,” Richards says. “It was kind of like that in those days. If somebody was handy, you roped them in.”

The album also includes alternate takes of Bitch, Dead Flowers and Can’t You Hear Me Knocking.

Richards says he has enjoyed rediscovering Sticky Fingers and the archival recordings. “I had totally forgotten about half of the tracks. It was as fun for me to listen to them as anybody else.”

Strength coach relishes challenge The strength-and-conditioning coach at any college football program makes a living telling athletes to tackle tough tasks and therefore can’t shy from them or be labeled a hypocrite.

Je’Ney Jackson, the man David Beaty hired to head up the strength-and-conditioning staff for Kansas University’s football program, didn’t look forward to telling Indiana basketball coach Tom Crean he was leaving him for another job.

But he knew he had to do it.

“That was rough,” Jackson said. “That was rough.”

Crean is known for his intensity and loyalty, so Jackson took a deep breath and thought about how to break the news.

“I found out on a Wednesday that I was coming, and we were playing Jackson Butler that Saturday in Indianapolis,” Jackson said.

“So I decided to wait until after the game. Fortunately, we beat Butler, so everyone was pretty jacked up.”

Here’s how it went, Jackson said: Jackson: “Coach, I want to come in in the morning, and we need to talk.”

Crean: “No, we need to talk right now.”

“We discussed it, and he was awesome,” Jackson said. “I mean, unbelievably good. He’s a great guy, great guy. He’s a guy I really learned a lot from and enjoyed working for. He is now a true, true friend. He loved my family, just an allaround great guy.”

Knowing Jackson feels that way about Crean and still left the job is all the evidence needed to figure out how he feels about Beaty, his new boss.

“We are very similar people,” Jackson said of Beaty. “Very energetic, like to communicate with people, like to have fun, like to work hard.”

The head coach and strength coach met when Beaty was trying to recruit running back Rex Burkhead to Rice, Jackson to Kansas.

Burkhead, now with the Cincinnati Bengals, went to Nebraska, but because of him a friendship that would turn into a working relationship was born.

“We just hit it off, stayed in touch, and then (Beaty) was hired (by Mark Mangino) to coach receivers, and I was with the DB’s,” Jackson said. “That receivers/DB’s coach relationship, you’re going against each other every day in practice.”

The career coaching paths of Beaty and Jackson have weaved in and out of Lawrence. After earning 12 varsity letters in football, basketball and track at Guernsey-Sunrise High in Wyoming, Jackson was named state football player

INCOMING KANSAS UNIVERSITY FRESHMAN LAGERALD VICK SIGNS AUTOGRAPHS at the Bill Self Basketball Camp on Sunday at Anschutz Pavilion. Vick and fellow newcomer Carlton Bragg signed autographs for about 21⁄2 hours.

Rookies Bragg, Vick busy at camp

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Cleveland native Carlton Bragg, who arrived on Kansas University’s campus a day before the start of 2015 summer school classes and World University Games practices, admitted it was hard to say goodbye to family and friends back home in Ohio.

“It was all sad. Everybody takes me out to dinner and stuff (before leaving). It was family time, so it was pretty good,” Bragg, a 6-foot-9, 225-pound McDonald’s AllAmerican, said Sunday afternoon after signing autographs for 21⁄2 hours at Bill Self’s KU basketball camp.

“All the memories ... we just won the state championship, so it was pretty tough

for me to leave it, but I’m starting a new chapter.”

Bragg, who averaged 21.3 points and 8.0 rebounds a game last season for state champ Villa Angela-St. Joseph High (23-4), had a full first day in Lawrence, that’s for sure.

After sitting at a table and signing for more than 600 campers, he then conducted a media interview before Bragg playing pickup basketball with his new teammates, including freshman roommate Lagerald Vick.

Next, he slam-dunked with Vick, Wayne Selden Jr. and Frank Mason III at the par-

ent/child camp orientation session before breaking free for dinner.

“It feels good to be here.

I’m very excited to see what’s in store for us,” Bragg said.

He arrived in good physical condition, working out regularly on the treadmill back home.

“I was running elevation laps. That helped me a lot,” Bragg said. “I was doing 6 minutes a mile, so that was pretty good, kind of hard though.”

“When I first started out, it was horrible. It started progressing.”

He said he hit the treadmill, “because going into my high school career, I was always winded. I wanted to try something new. Coming into college, I knew it was a big stage, and the court was bigger.”

He also chose the treadmill as a form of exercise because “I saw LeBron do it with the elevation thing. It looked pretty cool,” he said of Cleveland Cavs phenom LeBron James. “He’s from Ohio. I’m from Ohio also. I’m a big fan.”

He said he would not be devastated if James and the Cavs fell in the NBA Finals to the Golden State Warriors.

“No, I mean, you just lost Kyrie (Irving) and K-Love (Kevin Love, to injuries),” Bragg said. “I think they can still pull it off, though.”

Bragg, who will wear jersey No. 15 at KU, showed his youthful exuberance Sunday when asked if KU will try to win the University Games rather than just bond as a team prior to the October Please see HOOPS, page 3C

Woodland ties LCC record of 61

By Tom Keegan Twitter: @TomKeeganLJW

Woodland

Plenty of former and current members of the Kansas University golf team were doing big things on various golf courses Sunday.

Playing with friends at Lawrence Country Club, Gary Woodland shot a 61 to tie the course record set

and repeated several times by former KU All-American Chris Thompson.

“You watch Gary Woodland hit the ball, holy crap, it’s almost physically impossible,” said LCC member Greg Sharp, who shot a 70.

“I’m going to go to Vegas and put $500 on him in each one of the majors. He’s going to win one. No doubt. His put-

ting stroke was phenomenal today. I think he’s a good candidate to win the British Open at St. Andrew’s.”

Woodland, who entered the week at No. 28 in the World Golf Rankings, made eagle on the two par-5 holes, Nos. 3 and 12.

Woodland had planned to be in Dublin, Ohio, competing in the Memorial Tour-

nament, but missed the cut after shooting 76-69 at Murifield Village, where Tiger Woods shot a career-worst 85 in the third round.

K.C. Salvy-ges series, 4-3

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Royals closer Greg Holland was too busy warming up to start hollering when a home run by Salvador Perez plopped down into the Kansas City bullpen.

Perez hit a solo homer with two outs in the eighth inning, lifting the Royals over the Texas Rangers 4-3 Sunday.

Perez connected off Keone Kela (4-2) for his eighth home run, barely clearing the fence.

“Everybody else down there is screaming, cheering Please see KEEGAN, page 3C and high-fiving, but I’ve got

to go out there and worry about throwing strikes,” Holland said. “At that point, you just try not to blow the game.”

“I try not to get caught up in those moments. I saw him hit the ball and knew it was probably at least a double. I was going out in a tie game or with the lead, regardless. My main objective was thinking about getting (Joey) Gallo the leadoff hitter out.”

Holland pitched a perfect ninth for his ninth save in 10 opportunities.

Perez wasn’t sure his shot

was going to make it over the wall.

“I’m thinking a line drive,” Perez said. “I didn’t think it was going to be out.”

Kela’s fastball ran back inside to Perez.

“It leaned back over into Perez’s nitro zone,” Rangers manager Jeff Banister said. “ I’m sure he was wanting to go off the plate. I don’t think he was trying to go in.”

Said Kela: “I know you’ve Charile Riedel/AP Photo got to understand the bitter to enjoy the sweet, but KANSAS CITY’S SALVADOR PEREZ CROSSES I was being aggressive and THE PLATE after hitting a solo homer for the go-ahead run in a 4-3 victory over the Rangers Please see ROYALS, page 3C on Sunday in Kansas City, Missouri.

D’backs consider draft options

Phoenix (ap) — The Arizona Diamondbacks have the first pick in the draft after finishing with baseball’s worst record last season.

As the clock winds toward the start of today’s draft, they’re still trying to figure out which player to take.

In a draft that has some talent up top, but bereft of a surefire No. 1, it’s not an easy decision.

“It’s not the prototypical draft where you’re picking 1-and-1 and there’s an anointed one, so to speak,” Diamondbacks director of scouting Deric Ladnier said. “But I do think that the players at the top are very desirable players that can help our organization.”

The Diamondbacks last had the No. 1 pick in 2005. They used it to take high school shortstop Justin Upton, who went on to become an All-Star outfielder in the desert before being traded to Atlanta in 2013.

The top end of the 40-round draft is filled with talented players who will likely have a long-term impact on the team that drafts them, but no consensus No. 1 like Bryce Harper, Alex Rodriguez or Ken Griffey Jr. That leaves the Diamondbacks will a lot of options and what figures to be plenty of debate — before and after the draft.

Vanderbilt shortstop Dansby Swanson appears to be the front-runner for the No. 1 pick.

He plays a premium position and is a strong hitter, finishing with a .348 average, 14 homers and 61 RBIs as a junior.

But two other shortstops could be worth a look at No. 1: Brendan Rodgers, a high school shortstop from Lake Mary, Florida, and LSU’s Alex Bregman.

If the Diamondbacks want an arm instead, they could go with Vanderbilt right-hander Carson Fulmer, UC Santa Barbara righty Dillon Tate or Illinois left-hander Tyler Jay. They could go a completely different route, too, and take Tyler Stephenson, a high school catcher out of Kennesaw, Georgia.

Arizona started with a list of five players, whittled it to three and will likely have some deep discussions this morning.

“I don’t think there’s ever a situation where everyone is always going to agree philosophically, but I think everyone will agree at the end that we’re taking the best player for the organization,” Ladnier said.

Though signability is not a top priority for the Diamondbacks — they want to get the best player that fits their organization — it does have to be a consideration, particularly after what happened with the Houston Astros last year.

They had the top pick for a record third-straight year and used it on Brady Aiken, a San Diego high school left-hander.

Houston reportedly offered Aiken a hefty signing bonus, but lowered the offer when concerns about a ligament arose.

The two sides never could come to an agreement.

STAN WAWRINKA CELEBRATES BREAKING A SERVICE GAME in the final of the French Open tennis tournament against Novak Djokovic on Sunday in Paris. Wawrinka won the men’s crown in four sets.

Wawrinka denies Djokovic French crown Paris — Moments before his third French Open final in four years, Novak Djokovic jogged in a stadium hallway near a poster of the Coupe des Mousquetaires, the silver trophy awarded to the men’s champion at the only major tournament he has never won.

This time, it would be Stan Wawrinka standing between the No. 1-seeded Djokovic and the title at Roland Garros that the Serb needs for a career Grand Slam.

And once again, Djokovic came up one victory shy, stopped by the eighth-seeded Wawrinka and his magical, one-handed backhand.

Wawrinka won his first French Open championship and second major title by stunning Djokovic 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 in a superbly played match Sunday.

“I know he’s looking for that title,” Wawrinka said. “I hope he will get one, one day, because he deserves one.”

Wawrinka exited in the first round in Paris a year ago. And he had lost 17 of his past 20 matches against Djokovic. But Wawrinka would not relent on this sunlit afternoon, compiling twice as many winners, 60 to 30.

“Certainly one of the best matches of my career,” Wawrinka said, “if not the best.”

That beautiful backhand of his was a big reason; one even made its way around the net post before landing on the red clay.

Another backhand earned the match’s last break, to 5-4 in the fourth set. And, fittingly, yet another finished off Djokovic’s 28-match winning streak.

Djokovic called the stroke “one of the best one-handed backhands that I have seen.”

The 30-year-old Wawrinka, so long in the shadow of his Swiss Davis Cup teammate and pal Roger Federer, added to the championship he won at last year’s Australian Open. That’s when Wawrinka became the first man in 21 years to beat the top two seeds en route to a Grand Slam title. He duplicated that in Paris, eliminating No. 2 Federer in the quarterfinals before toppling Djokovic.

When Djokovic received the silver plate given to the losing finalist, the spectators gave him an unusually long ovation. Djokovic shook his head and his eyes welled with tears.

“Not easy to stand there as a runner-up again,” Djokovic said, “but I lost to a better player who played some courageous tennis.”

The 28-year-old Djokovic has won eight Grand Slam championships: five at the Australian Open, two at Wimbledon and one at the U.S. Open. He must wait a year for another chance to become the eighth man with at least one title from each major.

Djokovic came up short against Rafael Nadal in the 2012 and 2014 finals. He cleared that hurdle this year, defeating the nine-time champion in the quarterfinals. Djokovic then defeated Andy Murray in a two-day, five-set semifinal that concluded about 25 hours before Sunday’s start.

“Maybe in some important moments, I didn’t feel I had that explosivity in the legs, but, look, at the end of the day, (Wawrinka) was just a better player,” Djokovic said.

Normally, it’s Djokovic’s sliding, stretching, body-contorting defense that wears down opponents, but he looked spent after lengthy baseline exchanges that went 20, 30, even 40 strokes.

When he clinched the first set, Djokovic

swiveled to look toward his coaches, Boris Becker and Marian Vajda, and bellowed. The trophy, propped on the wooden edge of the president’s box, stood but a few feet away, glistening.

At that moment, it was but two sets away.

So close, yet so far.

Wawrinka broke to take the second set when Djokovic slapped a backhand long on a 23-stroke point. Djokovic spiked his racket, caught it, and slammed it a second time, mangling the thing. That drew derisive whistles from spectators and a warning from the chair umpire.

“You go through emotions,” Djokovic said.

“Of course I was more nervous than any other match.”

By now, Wawrinka was the aggressor, and his shots kept finding their appointed marks.

Djokovic made one last stand, taking a 3-0 lead in the fourth set. Wawrinka, though, reeled off six of the last seven games.

When it was over, Wawrinka tossed his racket overhead. At the net, Djokovic patted the 2015 French Open champion, a frequent practice partner of his, on the cheek.

GOLF

Lingmerth takes Memorial Dublin, Ohio — David Lingmerth didn’t crack over the final two hours Sunday at the Memorial, outlasting Justin Rose with a par on the third playoff hole at Muirfield Village to win for the first time on the PGA Tour.

Showing great resolve and little emotion, Lingmerth gave a soft fist pump when his putt just inside five feet on the 10th green dropped.

He earned every bit of that handshake with tournament host Jack Nicklaus.

“I can’t believe it,” the 27-year-old Swede said. “I’m so happy right now I don’t know where to go.”

He’ll be going to the Masters next year for the first time — but not the U.S. Open in two weeks. Lingmerth moves to No. 71 in the world and still has to qualify today.

It was the longest playoff in 40 years of the Memorial, and it could have ended much earlier — or been avoided — if not for so many clutch moments.

Lingmerth closed with a 69.

Masters champion Jordan Spieth closed with a 65 and wound up two shots behind in a tie for third with Francesco Molinari of Italy, who was tied for the lead until hitting into the water on the 16th for a double bogey. He shot 71.

Tiger Woods showed improvement — it was hard not to after a career-worst 85 on Saturday. He shot 74 and finished last, 29 shots behind, with his worst 72-hole score (302) in his PGA Tour career.

Pettersen wins Manulife Cambridge, Ontario — Suzann Pettersen birdied two of the last three holes to win the Manulife LPGA Classic for her 15th LPGA Tour victory and first since October 2013.

Pettersen closed with a 3-under 69 in windy conditions for a one-stroke victory over Brittany Lang at Whistle Bear Golf Club, the firstyear venue after three seasons at Grey Silo in Waterloo.

At Pocono, Truex gets first Cup win since 2013 Long Pond, Pa. (ap) — Martin Truex Jr. slapped the top of his No. 78 Chevrolet, thrust his right fist toward the sky and bounded straight into his girlfriend’s arms.

They hugged, kissed, and Truex lifted her into the air.

Truex has stood by Sherry Pollex’s side through her fight with ovarian cancer. Pollex was strong for Truex when his career was in flux following a scandal that cost him a shot at a championship and his ride.

HIGH SCHOOLS HUB:

Sunday at Pocono Raceway, they were set for an overdue celebration.

Truex led the most laps for the fourth straight race, only this time he was in front on the one that mattered most, breaking through for his first Sprint Cup victory since 2013.

“This is easily the biggest win of my career,” Truex said.

Truex won the race and NASCAR’s version of a popularity contest in victory lane.

Rival drivers, owners, crew members popped by for highfives and congratulatory messages. Dale Earnhardt Jr. hugged Pollex. Jimmie Johnson fist-bumped Truex.

“He’s had more to overcome personally and professionally than probably anybody sitting in that seat right now,” Johnson said.

Truex and Pollex, a couple since 2005, have endured their share of personal and profes-

sional heartache over the last 18 months. Pollex, was diagnosed with cancer last summer and she had various organs removed, including her ovaries, fallopian tubes and part of her stomach.

Furniture Row owner Barney Visser told Truex he could sit out the rest of the season following Pollex’s diagnosis and still keep his ride for 2015.

Truex, though greatly appreciative, declined the offer.

CLEVELAND FORWARD LEBRON JAMES, LEFT, SHOOTS AGAINST GOLDEN STATE FORWARD MARREESE SPEIGHTS during the first half of the Cavaliers’ eventual 95-93 overtime victory in Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday in Oakland, California.

NBA FINALS

James, Cavs get even Oakland, Calif. (ap) — The Big Three has faded.

The Terrific Two is gone.

And the Cleveland Cavaliers are still heading home with the NBA Finals knotted up at a game apiece.

All thanks to the Chosen One — and his scrappy teammate from Down Under.

LeBron James turned in a triple-double to remember, Matthew Dellavedova made the go-ahead free throws in overtime, and the Cavaliers overcame a fourth-quarter collapse to outlast the Golden State Warriors 95-93 on Sunday night.

James finished with 39 points, 16 rebounds and 11 assists in 50 minutes, carrying Cleveland’s depleted roster to victory on the NBA’s toughest home floor. The Warriors had been 47-3 at ear-piercing Oracle Arena.

“I tried to give it all to my teammates. And they do a great job of giving it back to me. Total

I was in the strike zone and throwing strikes. I was confident in all the pitches I throw. I just didn’t execute.”

Wade Davis (3-1) picked up the victory, working around Prince Fielder’s double in the eighth.

Jeremy Guthrie limited the Rangers to one hit the first six innings, but was removed with one out in the seventh after giving up back-to-back singles to Mitch Moreland and Gallo.

Guthrie left with a 3-0 lead, and reliever Kelvin Herrera could not hold it. Elvis Andrus singled to load the bases, Leonys Martin hit a two-run single and Robinson Chirinos’ RBI groundout tied it.

Rangers starter Colby Lewis departed after seven innings and 101 pitches, giving up three runs and eight hits.

Kendrys Morales hit an RBI double in the fifth that made it 3-0.

Yost ties Howser Ned Yost tied Dick Howser with his 404th victory as the Royals manager for second place on the franchise’s all-time list. “If Dick hadn’t got sick, I don’t think anybody would have tied him,” Yost said. Howser died of brain cancer in 1987. Yost is closing in on Whitey Herzog’s club record 410 victories.

start of the 2015-16 campaign.

“We will (win title).

We will,” Bragg said with a smile.

Bragg and Vick are the first two KU newcomers to arrive this summer.

Freshman Cheick Diallo has some paperwork to complete in New York and likely won’t be here until second session of summer school. Ole Miss transfer Dwight Coleby is playing for the Bahamas National Team in the Caribbean Basketball Federation Tournament and also will be here for second session summer school. Diallo and Coleby are not from the U.S., thus can’t play for KU in the World University Games.

“They’re both great,” KU junior point guard Mason said of Vick and Bragg. “I’ve seen a couple highlights, not really watched them live.

I watched Carlton in the McDonald’s game. I like his motor, just his personality, who he is. He can shoot the ball, take it off the dribble. He defends. I’m excited to help him. I can’t wait to start practice tomorrow (today, for July 3-14 Games in South Korea).”

Coach Bill Self said Sunday: “I’m excited to have them both here. I think both will be terrific.

| 3C

I think it will take them both time. I’m certainly excited to have them both here and get started.”

Bragg is known to have a soft touch for a big guy.

“He’s a good shooter.

He shoots it pretty well,” Self said.

The best part of Bragg’s game? “My motor,” Bragg said. “I’ve gotten a lot better with my motor.” l

This, that: Bragg on his new roommate Vick, who will wear jersey No. 2: “He’s a pretty cool guy.

I love his personality.” ... KU’s Jamari Traylor was due in Sunday night and Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk today. They were on flights from Chicago and Ukraine, respectively, Sunday. ... KU’s players will go to South Korea with knowledge of the country. They will be tutored on the history and customs. ... Former KU players Aaron Miles and Jeff Hawkins are working as coaches at Self’s camp.

After introducing Miles to the campers, Self joked, “Aaron, they are too young to remember you.”

He then explained to the campers, “Aaron is fourth all-time in the NCAA in assists for his career — fourth! The reason he got a lot of assists is he was one of the worst shooters all time in the NCAA,” Self added, breaking up Miles and the campers and their parents. “Aaron and Hawk are working camp. It’s always great to have them here.”

and one the Cavs never should’ve let go so far.

Stephen Curry had a horrific shooting performance but converted the tying layup for the Warriors late in regulation.

The MVP also put Golden State in front 93-92 on free throws with 29.5 seconds left in overtime.

Then, Draymond Green met James at the rim to block his lefthanded layup, but the Cavs retained possession.

After James Jones missed a 3-pointer, Dellavedova grabbed the rebound and was fouled.

Dellavedova made both free throws to put Cleveland up with 10.1 seconds to play. Curry air-balled a jumper contested by Dellavedova, James got the rebound and hit one of two free throws with 4.4 seconds left.

“He was huge for us,” James said about Dellavedova. “We knew we could count on him because we’ve been in this situation before. He gave

us everything that he had and more tonight.”

After James’ made the free throw, Curry, without a timeout, raced up court and tried to pass ahead to Klay Thompson.

But Iman Shumpert batted the ball away to seal Cleveland’s win.

James waved his arms and pounded his chest near center court. He shook hands and hugged teammates emphatically as most of the fans — wearing those bright, golden yellow shirts — filed out of the arena.

Game 3 is Tuesday night in Cleveland.

“When we defend like we did tonight, we’re going to give ourselves a chance to beat any team in this world,” James said.

It was a pivotal point for the Cavs, who won their first finals game in franchise history. They were swept by the Spurs in their only other appearance in 2007, when James was just growing into the planet’s best player.

ing to be in great shape. I know we’ll play up-tempo offensively, so we’ve got to be in tremendous shape. But we’re also going to be strong and powerful and explosive like we were during that staff’s time.”

Strength coaches must pull off a difficult juggling act to inspire athletes to reshape their minds, bodies and stamina.

“There is always going to be a little bit of hatred toward the strength coach and a little bit of fear,” Jackson said. “But the thing that I feel is, if you show the kids you truly care about them, you’re not just some guy disciplining them or punishing them, then when it does is come to a point where we really have to get after it, we really have to grind, they understand it’s a necessity, and this is what we need to do to get better.

It’s easy to bridge that gap if you approach it that way.”

The key to unlocking an athlete’s perceived physical limitations resides between the ears.

“Your mind will allow you to do so many

things that you couldn’t imagine,” Jackson said. “So that’s where I come in, getting guys to believe they can do something they’ve never done before. I think that’s the biggest thing a strength coach does. Even when I was at IU with basketball, I’ve had guys, they’re getting under a squat bar, they have doubt, then you pump them up so much, and you come back to them and say, ‘I knew you had that in you. This is what I’m talking about. I knew you had it in you. We just had to bring it out.’

And then when you get a kid to do something they didn’t really think they could do, it’s never ending what they’ll do for you after that.”

The systems of many high school and junior college recruits who will go through a Jackson-led workout today, the first day of summer conditioning, will undergo shock.

Offensive lineman De’Andre Banks, a juco recruit who joined the program at the semester break and was shocked by the winter workouts,

will be there to encourage the newcomers.

“I remember that first day I had called my dad on the phone and said, ‘Dad, I don’t think I’m going to make it.’ Each day it got easier and easier,” Banks said. “Toward the end of conditioning season, I was, like, ‘OK, I’ve got this.’”

Banks said the winter workouts prepared him well for the spring.

“Coach Jackson, man, he’s done magic for us,” Banks said. “I know when I came in here I thought I was in shape until that first 5 a.m. workout, and it was crazy. I would have to say coach Jackson has helped us out a lot, a lot, a lot to get us prepared for this uptempo offense we’ll be running.”

The help is on the verge of being turned up a notch. And then another and another and another. That’s how it goes.

Asked what was more enjoyable, winter conditioning or spring football, Banks smiled at the silliness of the question.

“Oh, spring football by far,” he said. “By far.

That conditioning is no joke. No joke.”

rough patches, he had a remarkable stretch of 51 consecutive holes without losing a stroke to par, carding 37 pars and 14 birdies.

Thompson averaged 292.3 yards per drive in the tourney ,with a long drive of 319 yards. The Web.com Tour is the closest thing to the PGA Tour in the United States. The Adams Tour is a notch below that. The week previous to competing in the Greater Dallas Open, Thompson placed fourth in the Victoria Open, an Adams Tour event in Texas. His 62 on the final day tied a course record at Victoria Country Club.

Hutchens, Rack claim another Four-Ball title Competing in the Masters Division of the Kansas Four-Ball Championship at Alvamar Public, Chris Hutchens and Mike Rack of Lawrence defeated Zac Burton and Brian Fehr, 1 up, to win their second KGA four-ball title and first since 2012 at Sycamore Ridge.

Hutchens woke up Sunday to a text from Rack that said, “Play like a champion.”

Those words were said back and forth between the partners throughout the tight match.

Hutchens said Rack

sensed mounting nerves with the match all square with four holes left and offered sage advice.

“Things were tight, and he just said, ‘This is why we do this. Let’s just embrace the moment and enjoy the day. If we can’t do that, we shouldn’t even play,’” Hutchens recounted.

Rack is masterful at avoiding nerves. He’s a dentist by trade.

In the Four-Ball open division, Chase Hanna of KU and University of South Florida’s Joseph Winslow defeated Alex Graf and Jared Burns, 1 up, to win the title.

of the year by USA Today and the Casper Star-Tribune.

Jackson earned AllWAC honors as a senior in college for Wyoming, when he had five interceptions. He worked as a strength-and-conditioning assistant for his alma mater (1999-2004) and then at Kansas (2005-06).

Mangino moved him from the weight room to the field to coach cornerbacks (2007-09).

He spent 2010 as cornerbacks coach at Southern Miss and then was hired

by Crean, who coincidentally also had Jackson’s KU predecessor, Scott Holsopple, in that position when coaching at Marquette.

During his time in the weight room at KU under head strength coach Chris Dawson (now at Kansas State), Jackson saw the value in football players doing a ton of what boxers refer to as “road work.”

TRAINER BOB BAFFERT LETS MEMBERS OF THE MEDIA TOUCH TRIPLE CROWN WINNER AMERICAN PHAROAH on Sunday at Belmont Park in Elmont, New York.

Horse racing ‘in a little bit of awe’

By Childs Walker The Baltimore Sun

It simply took the right horse.

Just like everyone else, Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert wondered if winning the Triple Crown had become impossible.

Had the modern thoroughbred become too weak to handle the grind of three difficult races in five weeks? Were the fresh fields of competitors too much?

Then, he met a 2-yearold named American Pharoah, who ran with the sort of effortless sizzle found in only the greatest champions. For all the wonderful horses Baffert had trained, he’d never seen anything like it. On top of his speed, the horse shipped all over the country without losing a step or becoming ornery.

“It’s not the breed,” Baffert said at a news conference Sunday morning, reflecting on the Triple Crown his horse had won the previous evening at Belmont Park. “You just have to wait for one of these superhorses to come around. They don’t come around often. And then they have to be tough.”

It was a far cry from the day-after news conference a year ago, where California Chrome’s coowner, Steve Coburn, questioned whether any horse could handle what he deemed an unfair test.

It took just 12 months to learn Coburn was wrong, though racing lovers had waited 37 years for a horse to exorcise the ghosts of Belmont failures past.

The questions quickly turned to American Pharoah’s future schedule and his potential impact on a struggling sport, but Baffert and owner Ahmed Zayat mostly wanted to soak in the moment.

The trainer had received an estimated 400 text messages of congratulation in the previous 15 hours and had hung out with former New York Yankees manager Joe Torre and Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

He’d thought warmly of all his past clients who’d dreamed of ending the Triple Crown drought.

But he hadn’t lost his sense of humor.

“At least Billy Turner has someone to talk to now,” he said, alluding to the only other living trainer of a Triple Crown winner (Seattle Slew).

“We can talk about how great we are.”

Baffert led American Pharoah out of his barn a little before 8 a.m. to pose for photos and mug in the background as the trainer and jockey Victor Espinoza were interviewed on NBC’s Weekend Today. The mighty bay colt came out of Saturday’s race fit, if a tad tired.

“He looked like I could

“He’s just that kind of horse.”

Trainer Bill Mott, who’d worked with American Pharoah’s sire, Pioneer of the Nile, stopped by for a close look. Baffert recalled doing the same when Mott was training the great Cigar.

“Even as trainers, we’re all still in awe of the superstars of the sport,” Baffert said.

After his photo session, American Pharoah boarded a van headed for MacArthur Airport. He’d then catch a charter flight back to Louisville, Kentucky, where he prepared for all three legs of the Triple Crown.

Baffert said American Pharoah will likely run two or three more times this year, with the $5 million Breeder’s Cup Classic in late October a likely goal. Possible options for a comeback race include the Aug. 2 Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park in New Jersey or the Aug. 29 Travers Stakes at Saratoga Race Course in New York.

American Pharoah’s schedule will be of great interest to an industry that has long coveted a star of this ilk. Zayat said he takes seriously the responsibility of promoting racing.

“I think we owe it to the sport to do the right thing,” he said, noting he still controls the colt’s racing schedule despite the fact he sold his breeding rights to Coolmore Ashford Stud for nearly $14 million. “We’re not thinking about the money or the value. When the horse is ready, we’re not going to be scared of running him.

It’s all about the fans now.”

Baffert questioned how much impact American Pharoah could make if he continued running as a 4-year-old, which Zayat has said is unlikely but not impossible.

“Joe Public, they really just jump on the classics,” Baffert said, referring to the Triple Crown series, run exclusively by 3-year-olds.

Now that questions of American Pharoah’s quality are settled, horse lovers will move on to speculating about his carryover effect on the rest of an industry that has struggled with declines in attendance, breeding activity and mainstream interest in the 37 years

since Affirmed won the last Triple Crown.

Sal Sinatra, general manager of Pimlico Race Course and Laurel Park, said Saturday was a surreal day that felt like a culmination of his lifetime in the industry.

“If this horse does run more this year, the sport will definitely benefit,” he said. “It was a great day for horse racing and all sports.”

He said he wasn’t sure if he’d run any promotions in Maryland specifically playing off the Triple Crown, but said it’s possible.

Beyond big crowds at what few races the new superstar runs, Baffert said he envisions a potential effect on the breeding industry, as casual fans recognize that great talents such as American Pharoah and California Chrome came from relaMemorial Tournament tively modest pedigrees.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Friend wants to give romance another chance Dear Annie: I’ve been good friends with “Barney” for 10 years. During that time, we’ve had an on-and-off romantic relationship. For years, I assumed it was a timing issue, but I finally realized that, as much as he might care about me, I was just being used to fill up time between women. I felt so betrayed that we didn’t speak for a year.

A few months ago, Barney called, wanting to get together and talk.

He told me he had done a lot of soul searching and came to the realization that he had messed up a great thing with me. He wanted to prove he had changed.

My mother recently became ill and lapsed into a coma. Barney has been at my side, helping and supporting my sister and me. He brought flowers to Mom’s room,

bought us coffee and sandwiches, and has done anything else we needed. He has volunteered many times to sit with my mother so we could go home, shower and put in some time at our jobs.

Barney truly has stepped up, but I am still scared it won’t last.

I fear this will end up being yet another game he’s playing. As much as I love him and everything he is doing for my family, I don’t know

ABC Family finds original take in ‘Us’ Produced by Ryan Seacrest, the new reality docu-series “Becoming Us” (8 p.m., ABC Family) may be a bit of a departure. At least for ABC Family.

Ben Lehwald of Evanston, Ill., tries to act like a normal teenager, but he’s got a secret. His dad, Charlie, has decided to live as a woman, Carly. Lucky for Ben, he has somebody to talk to about it. His girlfriend, Danielle, is very understanding. Partly because her father is going through the same darned thing.

T h i s situation may be a tad farfetched to some and perhaps too trendy, coming as it does during a television season brimming with series about scripted and unscripted characters and families suddenly facing similar situations.

What sets “Us” apart from other shows on ABC Family, ABC and Disney is the believability that emerges from its documentary style. The characters, particularly Ben and Danielle, talk, act and look like real human beings and not the pert, gorgeous teen clones seen on “Pretty Little Liars.” It lacks the contrived antics seen on other “reality” series.

The show’s setting is an affluent suburb, but it lacks the phony and generic Wisteria Lane vibe of so many other shows in the ABC-Disney universe. “Us” also makes smart use of social media to develop characters and advance the narrative.

Bravo also embarks on some changes. Up to a point.

The new scripted comedy “Odd Mom Out” (9 p.m.) not only adapts humorist Jill Kargman’s book “Momzillas,” but it stars Kargman as well. Let’s just say she looks much more like an author than a movie star — that is to say, an actual human. This is nothing short of revolutionary for Bravo, home to too many series resembling “The Real Housewives of Orange County” (8 p.m.).

Playing herself, Kargman claims to be a “normal” resident of New York’s moneyed Upper East Side. Sure, her husband is a partner at a law firm. But they still live in a walk-up apartment and she raises their three children without resorting to hired help.

Tonight’s other highlights

Detroit hosts auditions on “So You Think You Can Dance” (7 p.m., Fox).

The Chicago Blackhawks host the Tampa Bay Lightning in game three of the Stanley Cup Final (7 p.m., NBC Sports Network).

The family takes stock after the accident on the season three premiere of “The Fosters” (7 p.m., ABC Family).

An airport crisis needs a dose of misfit science on the series pilot of “Scorpion” (8 p.m., CBS).

that I can risk putting my heart out there again. Should I give him another chance? — Hopelessly in Love Dear Hopelessly: It’s understandable that you would be skittish, but loving someone always involves the risk of being hurt. Barney seems to be trying to prove himself, and this should not be dismissed out of hand. We think he deserves a second chance.

Tell Barney you want to take it slowly this time to be certain you can trust the relationship.

Dear Annie: At our Mother’s Day mass last month, a fellow usher told me it is inappropriate to wish a man a happy Mother’s Day. But when he would say to a woman, “Happy Mother’s Day,” she would often respond, “Same to you!”

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, June 8: This year you opt to direct your attention to your image, profession and public life. You have a way with words, and it naturally puts you in a position of leadership. You attract others’ attention.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You will wake up tired or out of sorts; your dream life has been active. Tonight: Take some personal time.

Understand what is motivating this person. Tonight: Whatever

priate to wish a male a happy Mother’s Day? Likewise, is it inappropriate to wish a female a happy Father’s Day? — Lafayette, Ind. Dear Lafayette: We think people are too eager to be offended.

Wishing a man a happy Mother’s Day could easily indicate good wishes to his mother (or wife or other female relative).

And vice versa when it comes to Father’s Day. People can take these greetings any way they choose, but we think they should make every effort to take them in the spirit in which they are intended.

There is no reason to fuss over the etiquette, which says only to reply, “Thank you.”

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You have the ability and know-how to move a personal situation forward. Tonight: Happiest at home.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might be focused on your routine, but conversations will distract you a good part of the day. Tonight: Open up and have a long-overdue talk.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) The way in which you express what you want could differ from person to person. Tonight: Make plans accordingly.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be on top of your game, but everyone else seems to be a bit out of sorts.

Tonight: All smiles.
