What does that mean for fall?

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

As the back and forth on school funding between the Kansas Legislature and the Supreme Court continues — with a shutdown of schools in the balance — Lawrence school district leaders are preparing for all scenarios.

The most recent move came Wednesday, when Gov. Sam Brownback signed a proclamation calling the Legislature back into special session beginning June 23 to address the court’s ruling on school finance.

The court ruled in February that the way the state distributes aid to schools is inequitable and therefore unconstitutional, and gave state lawmakers until June 30 to make

before that 2008 Ford Crown Victorias, which KU and most other law enforcement agencies used for years.

Keary said KU police replace marked vehicles every three to five years, when they reach about 100,000 miles.

New marked vehicles are used 24-7 by the department’s 28 sworn officers, he said.

The old cars are semiretired before being completely retired, Keary said. Markings and most equipment are removed or moved into the new cars, and they’re then driven as undercover vehicles, for out-of-town assignments or for other administrative duties for another 25,000

“The amount of money in controversy here is $38 million out of this $4 billion appropriation. That’s less than 1 percent,” Brownback said, referring to the estimated additional cost of one alternative that has been discussed.

“And the majority of this $38 million will not provide education for a single student. Not a single one.

Most of the money will go for property tax relief.”

Last month, the Supreme Court struck down the method of distributing equalization aid that subsidizes the local option budgets of Kansas school districts. The court said the formula forces relatively poor school districts to levy higher property taxes in order to raise amounts of money comparable to what wealthier districts can raise.

All told, those local option budgets, which are funded mainly through local taxes, add up to about $1 billion statewide, or roughly 25 percent of the total education budget.

The court did not order a specific change in the formula, but it did offer one alternative as a kind of “safe harbor” that would be sure to pass constitutional muster. That would be to re-enact the formula that was in place before lawmakers repealed it in 2015, and fully fund it.

But Brownback said it’s unlikely lawmakers will adopt that plan.

“I think it would be very hard to do that ... in a special session, where you’re going to re-enact the old school finance formula,” he said. “What we’ve been doing is discussing this with legislative leadership to see what they can get passed through.”

In 2014, the Supreme Court first struck down the equalization formulas for both local option budgets and capital outlay budgets, money districts use for big-ticket purchases. Then it remanded the case back to a three-judge district court panel in Topeka for further review.

Lawmakers quickly addressed those issues during the 2014 session, and in December of that year, the panel agreed the Legislature had cured the constitutional issues.

But for a variety of reasons having to do with shifts in property valuations that year, the changes they made ended up costing the state more than anticipated. In response, the 2015 Legislature repealed the old equalization formulas and adopted new ones. The district court later found the changes made to the local option budget formula were unconstitutional, and last month the Supreme Court agreed. The court then gave lawmakers until June 30 to come up with a formula that would meet constitutional muster.

Kansas law does not

to 50,000 miles.

“Since it’s their office,” KU police officers were consulted before making the decision to switch from sedans to SUVs, Keary said.

Officers indicated they wanted the extra space for equipment they have in the vehicle with them daily, which includes everything from a gear bag and a rifle to radio and road emergency equipment. They also wanted all-wheel drive.

“We found that the Chargers, which are not all-wheel-drive, were very difficult to drive around in the snow,” Keary said.

“We want to be able to have good response in all types of weather … and we do have hills.”

Session to cost $43K per day A state official says the Kansas Legislature’s special session on education funding will cost at least $43,000 a day.

Legislative Administrative Services Director Thomas Day said Wednesday that lawmakers’ salaries and expense payments will be most of the cost. He said the Legislature would operate with a skeleton staff.

Gov. Sam Brownback called a special session that will begin June 23 to respond to a state Supreme Court order last month.

The court rejected changes in school finance laws made earlier this year. It warned that schools will not be able to open after June 30 unless legislators make the education funding system fairer to poor districts.

When lawmakers are in session, they receive $88.66 in salary and $140 for expenses each day, for a total of $228.66.

limit what issues the Legislature may consider during a special session, although Brownback said he hopes they will focus only on the school funding issue and addressing the Supreme Court’s order.

Any bill that redistributes money among the state’s 286 school districts would normally fall to the two budget committees, House Appropriations and Senate Ways and Means.

The two education committees may also play a role in broader education policy issues.

Rep. Ron Ryckman Jr., R-Olathe, who chairs the House Appropriations Committee, said his would be among the committees that would work on a new bill. He said he and other legislative leaders were still discussing how to fit those meetings into the schedules of lawmakers who normally return to their regular jobs and their re-election campaigns this time of year.

But an aide to House Speaker Ray Merrick said in an email Wednesday that the House and Senate Judiciary committees will be called back to hold joint hearings a week before the session, June 16 and 17, to “discuss ways to address the court’s proposed remedies on issues of school finance.”

Rep. John Barker, RAbilene, who chairs the House Judiciary panel, said the purpose of those meetings would be to analyze the court’s opinion in order to help the education and budget committees comply with the court order. But he would not rule out the possibility that some committee members may want to propose additional legislation directed at the judicial branch itself.

In a joint statement, Merrick and Senate President Susan Wagle said they would try to focus exclusively on making sure schools remain open.

“Despite the court’s attempts to stir up fear and close Kansas schools, it’s not going to happen,” Merrick said. “During the upcoming special session Republicans will focus on ensuring the court does not close schools. All efforts will be made to get in, get our business done and get out.”

Brownback said there was also some strategy

ljworld.com 645 New Hampshire St. (News Center) Lawrence, KS 66044 (785) 843-1000 • (800) 578-8748

behind the idea of calling lawmakers back June 23, which gives them exactly one week to produce a bill that the governor can sign and send to the Supreme Court for review.

“You need deadlines to force things to happen,” he said.

The last time lawmakers held a special session was in 2013, when they were called back to address a flaw the Supreme Court had found in statutes authorizing the socalled “Hard 50” sentence for people convicted of certain kinds of first-degree murder. That session lasted only two days.

Lawmakers also were called back for a special session in 2005 to address an earlier Supreme Court ruling on school finance in which the court ordered lawmakers to increase funding by hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

That session dragged on for 10 days in the Senate and 11 days in the House as conservative GOP leaders at first refused to comply with the court’s order.

Brownback hopes this special session can be wrapped up in one or two days.

Man accused of holding judge hostage in Garden City Associated Press

Garden City — A Kansas man accused of holding a judge hostage has been charged with terrorism and is jailed on $1.3 million bond, authorities said Wednesday.

A criminal complaint says

33-year-old Jason Linn Nichols was charged Tuesday with terrorism and could face up to seven more counts including kidnapping and making a criminal threat.

Nichols is accused of breaking into the Garden City home of Finney County Judge Wendel Wurst on May 31 and hold-

ing Wurst and his wife hostage.

Police said the suspect was armed and was upset over a custody case that Wurst had handled.

Wurst’s wife was released after several minutes and fled to a neighbor’s home, but it was several hours before Nichols surrendered to police and

Wurst was released unharmed.

“Kansas law defines terrorism to include the commission of a felony with the intent to influence government policy by intimidation or coercion or with the intent to affect the operation of any unit of government,” Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said in a

statement Wednesday.

In Kansas, a terrorism conviction carries a possible life prison sentence, according to Schmidt’s office.

It’s unclear if Nichols has a lawyer to comment on his behalf. He’s scheduled to appear June 15 in Finney County District Court.

Schwegler Neighborhood, just south of 19th Street from Kansas University, is in the middle of what one neighbor Wednesday called a “summer fiasco.”

The beginning of summer brought with it the start of more than 30 road projects in Lawrence, including reconstruction of the 19th Street and Ousdahl Road intersection — the future entrance to KU’s Central District.

The intersection closed June 2, eliminating a throughway between Naismith Drive and Iowa Street. It’s expected to re-

turned 21st Street into ‘raceway’ main closed until Aug. 5.

The city sent invitations for a Wednesday meeting to approximately 1,500 people in Schwegler, which is defined by Iowa Street to the west, Naismith Drive to the east, 19th Street to the north and 23rd Street to the south.

About 25 people showed up to tell Public Works Director Chuck Soules and City Engineer David Cronin how the closure of 19th Street had affected their neighborhood so far.

They said traffic had

poured onto 21st Street — which also runs all the way from Iowa to Naismith — turning it into a “raceway.”

At the suggestion of the group, the Lawrence public works department will put up barriers this week to keep people from using the neighborhood as a way to get between Iowa and Naismith.

The barricades, which will read “local traffic only,” will be set up at 21st and Iowa Street, 21st and Naismith Drive

and West 19th Terrace and Naismith Drive.

The intention is to force drivers to use 23rd Street, instead of the residential neighborhood.

Soules said the city would try out the idea for a week and determine whether to leave the barricades based on feedback.

Madame Carrie Hall, a seamstress from Leavenworth, began collecting quilt block designs in the 1920s.

She made the symbolic trip around the world a couple years ago, landing in July 2014 in California.

bined 114 years. Dr. Phil Stevens served for 60 years (1955-2015) and Dr. Walter Coe practiced for 54 years (18961950). Stevens was also known as Tonganoxie Phil, the local answer to Punxsutawney Phil. He enjoyed giving weather prognostications each year to local media. Last year, Stevens celebrated his 60th year practicing family medicine. That night, he died in his sleep.

14. War hero: On July 1, 1960, an RB-47H reconnaissance bomber was shot down over the Barents Sea by a Soviet MIG-17. There were two survivors — Freeman Bruce Olmstead and Col. (then Capt.) John R. McKone. Both men were transferred to Lubyanka Prison in Moscow, where they were held in solitary confinement. McKone was a Tonganoxie resident.

From July 1, 1960 through Jan. 24, 1961, McKone was continuously interrogated

by Soviet Secret Police, while being denied food and sleep. Throughout this ordeal, he refused all attempts to give up any sensitive information to his captors. McKone was awarded the Silver Star for his actions during the Cold War. His release finally came four days after the inauguration of former President John F. Kennedy.

Five construction projects — at Deerfield, Schwegler, Sunflower, Broken Arrow and Pinckney elementary schools — are still in progress, and Doll said four of those need to be completed by the end of the summer in order for the schools to be ready for students in August. If payments cannot be made and construction has to cease, even for a few days, it could mean schools won’t be ready to be occupied by students come the first day of school, Doll said.

facilities could potentially have to stop operating, including the summer school, special education, summer food, Boys & Girls Club and driver education programs, according to Doll. The Boys & Girls Club is not a district program, but the organization uses the schools and could be displaced, along with other community programs planning to use school facilities. Doll said the district is continuing with all of its current plans for the summer, “unless and until we are told to do otherwise.”

About 1,300 students are enrolled in the Boys & Girls Club this summer, according to club spokeswoman Alissa Bauer. As far as the summer food program goes, the school district is in charge of preparing and distributing the breakfasts and lunches for the program, which provides about 50,000 free meals to children throughout the summer.

changes. In response, lawmakers made some adjustments to the funding formula, but the court struck down key portions of that method last month.

The court has said that the old way of distributing aid among the state’s 286 school districts is equitable, but it would take an additional $38 million to revert back to that formula. Once lawmakers agree on another revision, the court would again review it to see if the inequities are addressed.

If they are not, the court has said it would not allow money to be raised, distributed or spent under a funding system that is inequitable.

$2.4M grant to fund KU study on disorder linked to autism Staff Reports

Kansas University researchers have been awarded a five-year, $2.4 million grant to study the effects of parenting on the development of adolescents with a disorder known as the leading genetic cause of autism.

KU announced the grant, from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, on Wednesday.

The grant will enable

university distinguished professor Steven Warren and associate professor Nancy Brady of KU’s department of speech-language-hearing: science and disorders to continue a 10year longitudinal study of the effects of parenting on 55 children with Fragile X syndrome, now adolescents, and their mothers, according to KU. Fragile X syndrome is a single-gene disorder that is the leading genetic cause of autism.

The study will examine how parenting observed in early and middle child-

hood predicts differences in adolescent behavior and development.

Collaborators on the project are Leann Smith, assistant clinical professor and senior scientist at the University of Wisconsin Waisman Center in Madison, and Kandace Fleming, associate scientist at the KU Life Span Institute. Researchers also will partner with Elizabeth Berry-Kravis, professor of pediatrics, neurological sciences and biochemistry at the Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.

United Way seeks 30 volunteers for fire safety outreach event The United Way of Douglas County is seeking help for a single day of volunteering this month.

The United Way’s annual Day of Action this year hopes to promote fire safety for low-income residents in the Lawrence and Eudora areas, the organization said in a news release.

In all, a total of 30 volunteers are needed, the release said.

During the Day of Action, which will take place June 21, volunteers will help to install fire alarms in homes with greater fire risks and in the homes of senior citizens, the release said.

A week before the event,

volunteers will also make their way around neighborhoods telling residents how they can go about having a free fire alarm installed, the release said.

Those who wish to volunteer may register at volunteerdouglascounty. org or call Shelly Hornbaker at 865-5030.

Circles

ple don’t abide by them, instead cutting across the intersection to make a left turn. Those against installing new circles said they are unnecessary and unsafe.

“A few years ago when the Tour of Lawrence came through our neighborhood, the temporary was removed for the bike race, and that precipitated my thought, ‘wouldn’t it be wonderful if they didn’t put it back?’” said John Houston, who showed up Tuesday to speak to commissioners. “We would like not only to not have it made permanent, but have it removed.”

Evans said there is still

a strong contingent in the neighborhood that wants permanent traffic circles.

City commissioners decided five years ago to keep the temporary circles after some residents went to the city saying they created unsafe driving conditions. At that meeting, other neighbors said they were partially doing their job by slowing down drivers who use the neighborhood as a cut-through from KU to 19th Street.

“Even the way they are now, they do slow traffic down, most people say,” Evans said. “They’re working to an extent, but they’ll never work as well as a permanent device.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

which neighbors have called ineffective and ugly. Now, 12 years later, the city is proposing to establish permanent ones. But the neighborhood isn’t sure it wants them anymore.

“I think everybody wants to get rid of the temporary devices,” said Steve Evans, president of the University Place Neighborhood Association. “They’re unacceptable. They’re very unsafe the way they are and they certainly don’t look very good. It’s going to be a debate as to whether they’re replaced with standard traffic calming circles or nothing.”

Replacing two of the four temporary circles with permanent ones was on a list of city projects that should be undertaken this year. The circles, one at 17th and Illinois streets and the other at 17th and Indiana, would cost approximately $100,000.

The other intersections are 18th and Illinois and 18th and Indiana, as well as 17th and Louisiana, which currently does not have a temporary circle. Those projects will remain on an accruing list of city traffic calming projects.

The City Commission voted Tuesday to approve the list of projects, including the University Place project. Evans had asked commissioners to move forward with it, saying there would still be time for the neighborhood to debate it. City Engineer David Cronin said that in order to start the project, the city must receive approval from 70 percent of those living within 300 feet of the intersection.

“This gives everybody the ability to chime in now,” said Evans, who is arranging meetings to talk about the issue and provide input to the city.

Before Tuesday’s vote, five people had submitted letters to commissioners asking the city to remove the temporary traffic circles and not install new ones. A petition signed by 23 neighbors asked for the same thing.

Anyone driving through the neighborhood — which is bounded by 19th Street to the South, Sunnyside Drive to the north, Arkansas Street to the west and Louisiana Street to the east — has probably seen the circles. They’re made from parking blocks placed end-to-end in the shape of a hexagon with a reflective sign in the middle.

Evans said they cause confusion, and many peo-

Squabbling parents won’t listen to teen Dear Annie: I am 13 years old. My parents have been fighting for as long as I can remember. It’s not physical, but it is loud, sarcastic and rude, and they don’t seem to notice that it affects me, as well as my older siblings. They fight every night, usually about bills, and it seems to be getting worse.

My father is really hard to get along with, and he is a huge control freak and really cheap with money. My mother is the opposite about money, and she spends a lot. My dad is usually the one who starts the fights.

Neither of them thinks there is a problem, but there is. Even after 20 years of being married, they just can’t get along. I don’t know what to do, Annie. They won’t listen to me, they won’t stop screaming at

On A&E, a chronicle of Compton Some city names speak volumes. The three-part documentary “Streets of Compton” (8 p.m., A&E, TV-14) explores the history and legends behind the city in Los Angeles County synonymous with gang violence, the drug trade and West Coast rap that emerged from its streets.

Produced by rapper The Game, “Compton” includes interviews with former gang leaders, mayors, police officers, gang experts and famous former Compton residents including actress Niecy Nash, comedian Paul Rodriguez and musicians Lil Eazy-E, DJ Yella, Arabian Prince, DJ Speed, Tha Chill, MC Eiht, AD, Payso and Problem.

The film offers a survey history of urban change and decay, from the point of view of rappers, former Black Panthers and Compton residents who see its story as a parallel version of the “official” American dream.

Once a sleepy all-white suburb where blacks were allowed to work but not linger after sunset, Compton began to integrate in the 1950s. The film asserts that gangs began to form as protection from racist white vigilantes who often graduated from street gangs to the Los Angeles police force.

It makes the case that the FBI and the Nixon administration’s all-out war on the political activities of the Black Panthers opened a void for purely criminal gang activity, a blight that accelerated with the crackcocaine epidemic of the 1980s.

The film alleges that the drugs that flooded the streets were a direct result of the Reagan foreign policy in Central America.

“Compton” also describes the origins of the Crips and the Bloods, high school rivalries that produced generations-long cycles of murder and revenge, as weapons changed from fists and switchblades to Uzis and AK-47s.

We also meet those who survived the neighborhood. Anthony Anderson (“black-ish”) explains the grim reality of watching childhood friends as they ganged up and were shot down before his eyes. Compton also produced two tennis superstars named Venus and Serena Williams, whose resilience, discipline and determination were said to have been forged in an incredibly tough environment.

Part Three will air next Thursday.

Tonight’s other highlights O A winner emerges on a two-hour helping of “American Grit” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-PG).

Book sheds light on Iran deal

EDITORIALS

First step Kansans want to see some progress — not more posturing — on the state’s school finance crisis.

C

alling the Kansas Legislature back to Topeka is a good step, but it’s only the first step in addressing a recent Kansas Supreme Court ruling on school finance.

It would be interesting to know whether anyone in Las Vegas is setting odds on how likely it is that the special session called by Gov. Sam Brownback will produce any significant action on school finance — let alone a solution that will cause the court to pull back on its threat to block an unconstitutional funding system for the state’s K-12 public schools.

When the Legislature ended its regular session on June 1, lawmakers were deeply divided about how to respond to the court ruling. At one end of the spectrum were legislators who wanted to revert to the state’s previous school finance formula. At the other end were those who wanted to defy the court ruling and were focusing their efforts on actions that would block the ruling and/ or protect officials who refused to implement it.

What, if anything, has changed? Unless there has been a shift in attitudes, it’s difficult to see how the Legislature can make any progress.

In announcing the special session, Brownback made the curious statement that, “I will do everything I can to keep this session focused on education.” What else does the governor think it might focus on? Does he have reason to think that legislators will focus more on politics or on finding ways to punish the court or block its ruling? Or is that just his way of saying that he doesn’t want to see talks about school funding to include any discussion of state tax policy?

One way to make sure the focus remains on education would be for the governor to show some leadership by proposing his own plan for addressing the school finance dispute. Unlike state legislators, the governor isn’t facing a re-election campaign, so he’s in a strong position to come up with a proposal to break the current standoff on education funding. The most expedient way to address the court’s concern about the equity of school funding would be to revert to the previous finance formula. It would be difficult to come up with the estimated $38 million it would take to fund that formula, but does the governor have a better plan? If so, Kansas legislators and Kansas residents would like to hear it.

Each day of the special legislative session will cost Kansas taxpayers in the neighborhood of $40,000. Voters will have plenty of time between now and November to hear political rhetoric — for free. What they’d like to see now is some concrete action to make sure Kansas schools are able to open in the fall.

Washington — One of the mysteries of Campaign 2016 is why the Iran nuclear deal has vanished as an issue. But a new book reveals some startling details about how the diplomacy with Tehran began in secret, long before reformers took power there, and the crucial role played by presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

The diplomatic narrative is laid out in “Alter Egos,”

by New York Times White House correspondent Mark Landler. He’s the first to disclose the full extent of the Omani “back channel” to Iran that opened in 2009 through a colorful fixer named Salem ben Nasser alIsmaily.

Landler’s account shows how early and extensively Clinton and her State Department staff were involved in the Iran talks, despite her initial wariness.

And in a campaign where Donald Trump often advocates a blunderbuss approach to foreign affairs, this story is a reminder that breakthroughs often come via strange and invisible pathways — ones that, in this case, the administration sometimes sought to obscure.

The Ismaily contacts began in May 2009, just four months after President Obama had taken office, when Dennis Ross, a top adviser to then-Secretary Clinton, met the 51-year-old Omani at the State Department.

At that first meeting, the Omani surprised the Americans with “an offer by Iran to negotiate”

“

The Iran nuclear agreement deserves more attention in this campaign. Kerry and Obama may have concluded it, but Clinton helped get it started.” about the nuclear program, writes Landler.

Obama had already sent a secret letter to Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei proposing negotiations but had received a diffident response. “Ismaily assured Ross he could bring the Iranians to the table” and that Oman would be “an ideal venue for secret negotiations.”

Both promises turned out to be true. First, though, came the uproar of the Iranian presidential election in 2009 and the brutal suppression of the “Green Revolution.” Some critics have argued that Obama’s eagerness for a diplomatic opening to Iran blunted the U.S. response to the stolen victory by hardliner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

But the Omani mediation track continued. After Iran seized three American hikers in July 2009, Ismaily

secretly began negotiating their release. The first was freed in September 2010, the other two a year later.

Ross and a colleague traveled to Oman in December 2010 to hear more about the channel. Clinton had a similar exploratory talk with Oman’s sultan in January 2011, though she wrote that she initially saw the opening as a “long shot.”

John Kerry was jumping into the Oman channel even before he became secretary of state. He got to know Ismaily during the hiker negotiations and made several visits to Oman in 2011 and early 2012. Kerry also met the Omani intermediary in London, Rome and Washington.

“In his zeal to jump-start the negotiations, Kerry passed several messages to the Iranians through Ismaily,” according to Landler.

One of these messages may have been crucial: Kerry, still a senator and thus not formally speaking for the administration, suggested that under a nuclear agreement, the Iranians would be able to enrich uranium — Tehran’s baseline demand.

“In some ways, Kerry and his enthusiastic Omani gobetween were merely cutting to the chase,” writes Landler.

More secret meetings through the Oman channel followed in 2012 with Clinton’s top aides, Deputy Secretary Bill Burns and Deputy Chief of Staff Jake Sullivan.

Then, in 2013, the train began to accelerate with Kerry’s appointment as secretary of state and Hassan Rouhani’s election as president of Iran.

By the end of that year, an interim nuclear agreement had been reached.

Sullivan explained in an email that although Clinton was skeptical at first about the Omani contacts, they proved important: “Without that channel, we likely would have spent the fall of 2013 trying to figure out who to talk to and how.”

Landler’s book also underlines the question of whether the administration’s media campaign, led by deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes, emphasized the post-Rouhani chapters in its public telling of the story, and obscured the largely unnoticed early contacts through the Oman channel. A New York Times Magazine profile of Rhodes argued last month that this impression “was largely manufactured for the purpose for selling the deal.”

The administration’s hand was also visible in the State Department’s deletion of footage of a December 2013 press briefing asking about secret negotiations with Tehran.

The Iran nuclear agreement deserves more attention in this campaign. Kerry and Obama may have concluded it, but Clinton helped get it started. Trump needs to explain why the world would be safer without this deal, and how he would have negotiated a better one. And the administration needs to explain why it opted for secrecy on a landmark agreement.

Wary Koch camp to meet Trump’s people Exclusive: Political kingpin skeptical about billionaire candidate’s campaign Fredreka Schouten @fschouten USA TODAY

WICHITA Top officials within Charles Koch’s powerful policy network plan to meet with aides to presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, the industrialist told USA TODAY on Wednesday.

Trump’s team requested the meeting, Koch said. No date has been set for the gathering, which has not been publicly disclosed before.

“We are happy to talk to any-

body and hope they understand where we’re coming from and they will have more constructive positions than they’ve had,” Koch said.

That doesn’t mean Koch, one of the biggest financial players in Republican politics, will endorse the brash billionaire or open his bank accounts to back Trump’s presidential bid. In a wide-ranging interview, he criticized Trump’s recent comments about the Mexican heritage of a federal judge overseeing a civil fraud case against his shuttered Trump University. Last week, Trump suggested Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who

“It’s unacceptable, and it’s taking the country in the wrong direction.”

was born in Indiana, was not handling the case fairly because of Trump’s stances on immigration — a position denounced by Democrats and several Republicans, who moved this week to distance themselves from the GOP’s standard-bearer.

“It’s either racist, or it’s stereotyping,” Koch said of Trump’s comments. “It’s unacceptable, and it’s taking the country in the wrong direction.”

Asked whether he thought Trump was fit to be president, Koch said, “I don’t know the answer to that.”

Koch said it would require a major shift in tone and policy for him to back Trump. Koch said he would need to be convinced that Trump supported his top causes in a way that “wasn’t just hype,” ticking off as conditions: support for free trade, free speech, eliminating “corporate welfare” and “trying to find common ground with people.” v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Civilians fleeing ISIL-held Fallujah face abuse, execution Ammar Al Shamary Special for USA TODAY

FALLUJAH , IRAQ Abu Mohammed al-Dulaimi finally made it out of Fallujah this week.

“I tried three times to flee the city and was forced to go back,” the father of six said. Islamic State “militants captured me with a few men and humiliated us.

They said to us: ‘You are women.

You want to run away.’ ” Al-Dulaimi and his family escaped to Iraqi forces who have been clearing hundreds of improvised exploding devices from the roads since the battle to regain control of the embattled city began two weeks ago. Government troops pushed into southern Fallujah on Wednesday, the first time in more than two years.

Displaced Iraqi families, who fled their homes in Fallujah, go to receive food rations at a camp near Baghdad on Monday. harassing Fallujah residents who try to flee. The extremist group, also known as ISIL or ISIS, executes people deemed deserters, according to the Norwegian Refugee Council. Many Iraqis were shot as they attempted to flee across the Euphrates River, the council said.

“Our biggest fears are confirmed: Armed groups directly target civilians fleeing,” the council said in a statement.

It may not be just the Islamic State harming civilians. The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad al-

Hussein said eyewitnesses reported that armed groups supporting Iraqi security forces detained men and teenage boys leaving Fallujah in a manner that “degenerates” into abuse. He was referring to Shiite militias helping Iraqi troops liberate the predominantly Sunni city.

“There are extremely distressing, credible reports that some people who survive the terrifying experience of escaping from ISIL, then face severe physical abuse once they reach the other side,” he said this week in a statement.

Last month, Amnesty International alleged that Iraqi forces held more than 1,000 detainees, often without charges, in horrible conditions in Anbar province, where Fallujah is located.

Holy hobbits! Small beings are a huge find Fossils show miniature human relatives lived on Indonesian island Traci Watson

Special for USA TODAY

The cozy burrows part isn’t true, but J.R.R. Tolkien got it partly right: Hobbits really did walk the Earth.

According to many scientists, a species of miniature beings distantly related to Homo sapiens once lived on the Indonesian island of Flores. An international Homo floresiensis was the size of a small child.

KINEZ RIZA

team unearthed fossils of the hobbits’ ancestors — fossils that may point to a radical explanation for why hobbits, officially known as Homo floresiensis, were so small.

The fossils suggest hobbits descended from much bigger forebears who “experienced extreme dwarfism on the island of Flores,” Gerrit van den Bergh of Australia’s University of Wollongong said Tuesday. Their height “was reduced to two-thirds of ancestral body size, and brain volume shrank to half the size.”

That explanation is sparking

debate, but there’s little dispute that Flores’ hobbits, discovered in a cave in 2003, were astoundingly small. The most complete skeleton found in the cave suggests adults were far shorter than the average kindergartner. From that specimen and others, scientists have a portrait of a small-brained

species that made crude stone tools and lived on Flores from at least 50,000 to 100,000 years ago.

The new fossils, discovered in 2014 at a site called Mata Menge, are 700,000 years old and just as tiny as the hobbits from the cave, the team reported in Nature. A partial jawbone found by van den Bergh’s team “would fit in the palm of my hand,” says Debbie Argue of the Australian National University, who was not part of the study team.

Van den Bergh and his colleagues say the Mata Menge hobbits are closely related to the younger cave hobbits and might be the same species.

‘My friend Cassius’ had no time for hate Larry Boeck Louisville Courier-Journal

U.S. boxing champion Cassius Clay changed his name to Muhammad Ali. The athlete known as The Greatest died Friday at the age of 74.

Larry Boeck was a longtime sports journalist who covered Muhammad Ali for years. Boeck died in 1972. Here is an excerpt from a profile he wrote in 1966: Some people say that my friend Cassius Clay is an arrogant, overbearing young man.

They don’t like his Muslim religion, and they don’t like the things the heavyweight champ has said about the war in Vietnam and about his Selective Service status.

They say my friend hates white men.

Well, if he does, he’s colorblind. During a recent visit home to Louisville, he talked about these things. He explained that the vanity he once spouted was “show biz, trickery” — a way to get a shot at the title — the title he is to defend again on Saturday.

The Muslims preach racial segregation; their leader descries white men as “white devils.”

Cassius says, “If total integration would make them happy, the whites as well as the blacks, I would totally integrate. If total separation, every man with his own, would make them happy, I’ll do that.

“Whatever it takes to make people happy, where they won’t be shooting and hiding in the bushes and blowing each other up and killing each other, rioting.

A story Saturday about a Mideast peace meeting in Paris mischaracterized why Israel and the Palestinian Authority did not attend. They were not invited because it was a preliminary discussion about restarting direct talks.

A photo caption Sunday accompanying a story about real estate prices inaccurately identified the location of Monterey Park, Calif. It is a suburb of Los Angeles.

A May 25 article about Palestinians arrested for allegedly inciting violence on Facebook did not make clear that the Palestinian Authority only governs portions of the West Bank.

we look forward to identifying areas of common ground.”

Trump’s aides reached out to the network “a couple weeks ago,” said Steve Lombardo, Koch Industries’ top spokesman. Koch said Mark Holden, Koch Industries’ general counsel and chairman of the network’s umbrella group, Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce, would participate in the meeting. The effort by Trump’s camp to court the Koch network is a sharp reversal for the New York real estate developer, who touted his ability to fund his own primary campaign and took to Twitter last August to mock five of his Republican rivals who flocked to a California seminar convened by Charles Koch and his brother David.

“I wish good luck to all of the Republican candidates that traveled to California to beg for money etc. from the Koch Brothers,” Trump tweeted. “Puppets?”

Trump is working to raise money for the general election battle and is building a fundraising apparatus to collect the $1 billion he at one point said would be needed for the showdown with Hillary Clinton.

Even as Charles Koch says he’s unlikely to engage in the presidential race, he remains a powerful force in politics. The libertarian-leaning Kochs and a group of about 450 like-minded donors have built a massive policy, political and data operation that rivals the size and scope of the Republican Party itself.

Wednesday, Koch and his aides said the network collected about $300 million last year and expected to raise $450 million this year — about a third of which would be directed to politics and policy fights. It has focused heavily on Senate races, spending $15.4 million in advertising in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Nevada to help Republicans and reserving $30 million for television and digital ads in Senate battles.

Tuesday night, Koch forces scored their first big victory of the 2016 campaign in the defeat of North Carolina Rep. Renee Ellmers, a moderate Republican who bucked Koch and other small-government groups by supporting the Export-Import Bank.

Koch said his team needed to send a message to lawmakers who back “welfare for the wealthy that we’ll oppose you,” regardless of party affiliation.

“Otherwise, the Republicans will just take us for granted and do what they want rather than what will create a better society.”

But I don’t think total integration can work.”

Here’s what he says about hate: “I treat everybody right. I haven’t done nothing you could find to show I hate nobody. Hate will run you crazy, going around hating everybody. I don’t have time to hate.”

If my friend, whom some people call the Louisville Lip, pays any more than lip service to the “white devil” tenet, it’s news to me. If he does, he ought to find me particularly loathsome, for I once told him that the Muslim campaign to establish a nation of its own merely ducks the civil rights issue. This was about three years ago, shortly after Cassius Clay had defeated Sonny Liston and become champion, Muslim and Muhammad Ali. “You’re an underrated fighter and you’ll be champion for a long time,” I told Clay then. “As effective as you are in the ring, I feel you’re as equally ineffective out of it because you aren’t fighting for the Negro.”

Clay objected. “My religion teaches our people should be with their own,” he said.

“Then the Muslims simply are sweeping the whole civil rights issue under the rug,” I countered.

“I am fighting!” he said. “I’m fighting for the black man, not the Negro. There ain’t no such thing as Negro. I am a black man, and I am fighting for the black man and his right to own his own land and raise his own food and live his own life with his own people on that land.”

Since then, I have often thought about that conversation, especially now that Clay has pro-

voked politicians, writers and certain “patriotic” groups with his ill-timed “I ain’t mad at the Viet Congs” when he was classified 1-A in the draft.

Perhaps Clay should have kept his mouth shut, but to me, that’s hardly the point. Professionally, he has been chased out of the country and must fight abroad because of his remarks. His exercise of free speech has proved mighty costly.

Conversely, when I condemned several Muslim tenets, he did not retaliate. He did not ban me from his fight camps or cold-shoulder me. Indeed, he went out of his way to be helpful.

Perhaps Clay is more democratic than some of his detractors.

Unless, as I said, he’s colorblind and hasn’t noticed that I am white and so is Bill Faversham.

When Faversham, onetime adviser for the Louisville Sponsoring Group which got Clay started in the professional ranks, had a severe heart attack, the champion drove all night from Chicago to visit him in a Louisville hospital.

Clay sometimes makes it difficult to peer into this corner of his personality. Yet if this controversial and complex young man is to be understood, his life must be studied.

The champ doesn’t smoke, drink or gamble. He is generous.

Having read that he gave a hospital bed to a needy child, I chided him for not having told me about it. It turned out that the story had come from a neighbor’s telephone tip.

Cassius would have preferred that no one “had the story.”

Drug assistance faces closer scrutiny Federal, state officials probe co-pay coupons, drug-donor links Jayne O’Donnell @jayneodonnell USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Charity-run funds to help patients pay high co-payments face new scrutiny by prosecutors in two states and increased federal oversight, amid increasing questions about how they mask high drug prices.

Three drugmakers — Gilead Sciences, Jazz Pharmaceuticals and Biogen — disclosed subpoenas this spring related to their funding of co-pay assistance programs. Valeant Pharmaceuticals, already under fire for its high drug prices, announced last October that the U.S. attorneys for both the Southern District of New York and Massachusetts had subpoenaed information about its contributions to patient assistance programs.

The Department of Health and Human Services’ office of the inspector general (OIG) stepped up its oversight of patient groups’ relationships with pharmaceutical companies beginning late last year by alerting patient groups to possible violations of Medicare’s anti-kickback rules. A key issue:

BLOOMBERG VIA GETTY IMAGES

Valeant Pharmaceuticals says U.S. attorneys are looking into its contributions to patient assistance programs. berg Businessweek reported last month that five former employees of another group, the Caring Voice Coalition, said it sometimes favored donor companies’ drugs over those sold by other firms.

Pam Harris, president and cofounder of Caring Voice Coalition, said in a statement that the group “awards assistance to applicants without regard to any donor’s interest, an individual’s choice of insurer, physician, pharmacy, drug therapy, identity of any referring person or organization, or the amount of any contributions made by a donor whose services or products are used or

“The PR nightmare of patients not getting their drugs would drag down (pharmaceutical companies’) entire pricing approach.”

Groups favoring patients on certain drugs.

“The PR nightmare of patients not getting their drugs would drag down (pharmaceutical companies’) entire pricing approach,” said Peter Bach, a physician who heads the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center’s Center for Health Policy and Outcomes. “So it’s easily worth it to them to donate to a charity, even if it costs them a few million dollars.”

Several groups, such as the Chronic Disease Fund — now called Good Days — had to change the way they operate following an earlier probe. Bloom-

may be used by an applicant.”

Alan Balch, CEO of the Patient Advocate Foundation, said in a statement that the group’s programs “have never been designed to favor a donor’s drugs or patients on those drugs.” PAF has always been run according to law, its HHS inspector general advisory opinion, “ethical principles and best practices,” Balch said.

The inspector general opinions carry “a lot of weight” for the patient charities and need to be followed closely given the increased attention the assistance programs are getting, said attorney Janet Rehnquist, a former HHS

inspector general.

Drugmakers aren’t allowed to directly cover patients’ prescription co-payments for Medicare or Medicaid, but they can donate to patient charities as long as they are independent of the pharmaceutical companies.

Those who get their insurance through employers or private insurance companies can use what are known as co-pay coupons, which drugmakers distribute liberally online and in magazines.

Massachusetts state legislators rejected an attempt this year to permanently lift a ban on the use of the coupons in that state.

One of the issues some find troubling about both co-pay assistance and coupons is that neither are for the uninsured.

Insurers say they use co-payments to steer patients to less expensive drugs that are equally effective. So when co-payments are subsidized, patients are insulated from the high cost of a drug and insurers and employers bear the brunt of the drug prices.

Mark Merritt, who heads the Pharmaceutical Care Management Association, notes about 100 million prescriptions are filled each year with co-pay coupons.

“It’s a shadow world with a shadow claims system that’s not transparent to payors or insurers,” he said.

Marc Boutin, CEO of the National Health Council, who doesn’t like co-payment assistance programs, adds, “There’s clearly a gap needs to be filled and I’d want to do it through assistance if the only other options are bankruptcy or life and death.”

Trump tries new ‘chapter’ in campaign As nominee shifts his focus to unify party, many in GOP reaffirm their opposition David Jackson @djusatoday USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Now that it’s game on with Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump will try another pivot.

The Republican nominee-inwaiting will seek to move past days of turmoil over his attacks on a federal judge by scheduling a series of fundraisers, speeches, and other events designed to unify a divided Republican Party and organize an aggressive campaign against Clinton.

Marking the end of the Republican primaries with an unusually formal speech — complete with teleprompter — Trump told supporters Tuesday night that “we close one chapter in history and we begin another,” and he vowed to properly carry the “mantle” of Republican leadership.

“I will make you proud of your party and our movement, and that’s what it is, is a movement,” Trump said.

The carefully choreographed speech came as some Republicans reaffirmed their opposition to Trump, underscoring party divisions over a nominee who has never held public office and spent much of his campaign attacking prominent members of the GOP. “To those who support Mr. Trump, I understand disagreeing with him and still supporting him because he’s the party nominee,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. “I get that. But if he continues this he’s really dishonoring that support.”

Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., who faces a tough re-election battle in his home state, rescinded his endorsement of Trump, saying he lacks the temperament to be president.

Republicans across the country are expressing concern about Trump.

LOUVRE REOPENS AFTER HEAVY FLOODING IN PARIS

AUSTRIA’S PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION CHALLENGED

Austria’s right-wing Freedom Party said it will contest May 22’s presidential election that was narrowly lost by its candidate Norbert Hoffer, a top court said Wednesday.

Christian Neuwirth, a spokesman for Austria’s Constitutional Court, announced the decision on Twitter.

Heinz-Christian Strache, the Freedom Party’s leader, said it received “diverse information” on possible irregularities in the vote.

Hoffer was leading in the race when polls closed, but after a count of absentee ballots, former Green party politician Alexander

nessman has a speech scheduled before a meeting of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, a prominent group of conservatives. Trump and aides also are organizing fundraisers and rallies in Virginia, Florida, Pennsylvania, Texas and other states in the weeks ahead.

The presumptive nominee also will be evaluating potential running mates and preparing for the Republican convention that opens July 18 in Cleveland.

“Hillary Clinton turned the State Department into her private hedge fund,” Trump said.

Hillary Clinton, who declared victory in the Democratic race Tuesday night with a series of primary wins, will return the favor to Trump, saying his reckless comments about foreign policy and personal attacks on women, Hispanics, and political rivals render him temperamentally unfit for the presidency.

“He wants to win by stoking fear and rubbing salt in wounds, and reminding us daily just how great he is,” Clinton said in her victory speech late Tuesday.

Prime Minister David Cameron referring to anti-EU rival Nigel Farage

Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

LONDON When Britons vote on their nation’s future with the European Union on June 23, they’ll also likely determine the political future of British Prime Minister David Cameron and his flamboyant rival, Boris Johnson.

Cameron, who is campaigning to remain in the 28-nation bloc, is going head-to-head with the former London mayor, who is leading the campaign for a British exit — “Brexit.” Cameron argues that remaining brings economic, political and security benefits to the United Kingdom. Johnson says the EU tramples on British sovereignty over issues such as immigration and business regulation.

Cameron “would find it very difficult” to remain in office if Britain votes to leave the EU, said Quentin Peel, an associate fellow in the Europe Program at the Chatham House think tank. “He’d certainly be forced to resign quite quickly,” Peel said. “I really don’t see how long he can last.”

Mark Stuart, an assistant professor at the University of Nottingham’s school of politics and international relations, said Cameron “would have no other option than to resign as leader of the Conservative Party” if the Brexit camp prevails.

“Having staked all his political reputation on staying in the EU and pre-announced his retire-

ment date, all Cameron’s political capital would be gone,” Stuart said. Cameron has said he will not lead the Conservative Party after the next election in 2020, but will run as a member of Parliament.

Cameron promised during last year’s parliamentary elections to hold a referendum on Britain’s continued membership in the EU. This year, he negotiated concessions to give the U.K. more say on economic, social and defense issues affecting the country.

Cameron and Nigel Farage, leader of the anti-EU, anti-immigration U.K. Independence Party (UKIP), took part in an ITV debate Tuesday night.

“No deal is better than the rotten deal that we have at the moment,” Farage said.

Cameron urged Britons not to take Farage’s “Little England option.”

“He is so keen to get us out of Europe that he is prepared to sacrifice jobs and growth along the way,” Cameron said.

Matthew Goodwin, a professor of politics and international relations at the University of Kent, said, “If Brexit wins, then it’s likely that Boris Johnson, who is popular among Conservative rank-and-file members, will replace David Cameron.”

But Peel said Johnson’s role in campaigning for a Brexit could work against him. “What we’re seeing is one of the bloodiest civil wars in any political party for a long time.”

Former London mayor Boris Johnson, left, with British Prime Minister David Cameron, would be poised to be the next prime minister if Britain leaves the European Union.

Pickup plows through cyclists; 5 dead Robert Allen

Detroit Free Press

After driving through a group of bicyclists Tuesday, killing five and injuring four, a pickup on a two-lane road north of Kalamazoo looked “like it hit a brick wall,” a neighbor said.

“The hood was folded up to about the middle of the hood,” said Bob Coffman, 68, who lives across North Westnedge Avenue from the crash scene in Cooper Township, Mich. “I could see the bikes down there in the road, in pieces.”

He said Wednesday that he didn’t witness the crash, but he was home and helped the police search for a possible body. A bicycle with a back wheel “all busted and bent” had landed by a rock in his front yard, dozens of yards from the crash scene.

They were concerned someone may have been ejected into the nearby foliage, but they didn’t find anyone in his yard.

FOR INVESTORS

Patience is key, but as price gains moderate, profits are likely to do the same

JEAN-SEBASTIEN EVRARD, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

2016 OIL PRICES RISE

Energy stocks have gone from a dark stain dragging down portfolios to the bright spot that’s lighting them up. But don’t assume the gusher of profits will continue, as many question if the price of oil can maintain its rise.

Talk about a reversal of fortunes. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index energy sector is up 14.6% this year — making it the best of the 10 sectors in the market by far. Six of the 10 best-performing stocks in the S&P 500 this year all hail from the energy sector.

Energy stocks’ powerful rally sends ripples well beyond the energy patch. A 38% rally in crude oil prices and 6% gain in natural gas this year is turning energy stocks — which account for 7.4% of the S&P — into a driver rather than an anchor as the market runs at new highs.

Energy stocks have been the biggest drag since the market peaked on May 21, 2015 — with energy stocks falling 12% as oil prices dropped 16% during the same time. That’s just the tip of the pain: The S&P 500 Energy sector index shed nearly half its value from its high in July 2014 to its recent low this past January.

But energy stocks are now pushing, not pulling. The energy sector’s powerful rally this year is a big reason why the market is making a serious run at notching another high. The S&P 500 is up 3.7% this year — and is just 0.5% away from taking out its peak.

Investors are benefiting — for now. “Energy stocks are a ‘no news is good news’ sector at the moment. They offer a 3% dividend yield even if crude stays where it is. Oil is already up nearly 100% from its low,” says Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at BMO Private Bank. Oil prices have jumped 94% from their low of $26.21 a barrel on Feb. 11.

If there’s a stock that demonstrates the changing fortunes for investors it’s Southwestern Energy. The oil and gas exploration company based in Spring, Texas, is tops in the S&P 500 this year and has vaulted 80% from the market’s recent low. Jumping energy prices — specifically natural gas — “flood the bottom line” at the company, causing investors to expect profit to soar, says Subash Chandra, analyst at Guggenheim.

“You go from a company that’s on

The price of a barrel of West Texas Intermediate has been on the rise since mid-February.

the ropes to one that has a lot better options,” he says.

Analysts now expect the company to lose 26 cents a share this year, dramatically less than the 52 cents a share loss they expected two months ago, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.

Analysts think the company will be profitable to the tune of $164.6 million in 2017, up from the $1.2 billion loss expected in 2016.

But the near term isn’t likely to be rosy as energy price gains moderate, says Ethan Bellamy, analyst with Robert W. Baird. The key is patience — holding on not for the next three months, but rather, the next three years.

“If you’re buying energy stocks now, do it as an investor with a three-year outlook, not as a speculator looking for a repeat of gains from February to June,” Bellamy says.

A 38% rally in crude prices and 6% gain in natural gas this year have turned energy stocks into a market driver rather than an anchor.

Oil prices continued their steady uptick Wednesday, rising above $51 per barrel amid turmoil in Nigeria, early signs of a reawakening U.S. market, encouraging reports on China’s growth and diminishing crude supplies.

U.S. crude oil inventories fell by 3.2 million barrels in the week ended June 3, according to a U.S. Energy Information Administration report released Wednesday morning.

Those figures suggest that the oil market is rebalancing, as a longstanding global glut of oil is easing.

The price of West Texas Intermediate crude, the U.S. benchmark, rose 1.7% to close at $51.23 Wednesday.

The commodity hasn’t settled above $51 since July 15, when it hit $51.41, according to the Oil Price Information Service.

One encouraging sign for the market was last week’s increase in active U.S. oil rigs, according to Baker Hughes figures.

“The past few weeks have clearly shown that the U.S. rig count has bottomed,” Deutsche Bank analysts said Tuesday in a research note.

“The next question becomes, how confident are the operators in the sustainability of oil prices at these levels?”

This week’s boost in prices can be attributed partially to unrest in Nigeria, where militants have attacked oil facilities, causing supply disruptions, according to JBC Energy analysts.

To be sure, however, few analysts expect oil prices to increase significantly.

Capital Economics analysts recently projected that oil would retreat to $45 per barrel by the end of 2016.

Probe calls Time Warner’s Internet speeds ‘abysmal’ N.Y. attorney general’s office says company not living up to claims Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

Preliminary results of a New York investigation found that Time Warner Cable gave customers far slower Internet speeds than advertised, resulting in movies freezing, websites loading endlessly and games becoming non-responsive.

The New York Attorney General’s office disclosed the tentative findings in a Wednesday letter that urged Charter Communications to make major service improvements following its recently completed $79 billion acquisition

of Time Warner Cable.

Approved in May by the Federal Communications Commission, the deal also included the Bright House Networks and created the world’s second-largest cable TV and Internet provider. Charter is rebranding the companies under the name Spectrum. Time Warner Cable served 29 states and provided video, high-speed data and voice service to an estimated 16 million customers.

“In short, what we have seen in our investigation so far suggests that Time Warner Cable has earned the miserable reputation it enjoys among consumers,” Tim Wu, senior enforcement counsel for New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, wrote to Thomas Rutledge, Charter Communications’ chairman and CEO. “In advertisement after advertisement, Time Warner Cable

promised a ‘blazing fast,’ ‘superreliable’ Internet connection,” the letter said. “Yet it appears that the company has been failing to take adequate or necessary steps to keep pace with the demand of Time Warner Cable customers.”

Charter said it has made investments in its core infrastructure, enabling the company to offer “high-quality service organi-

zation throughout our footprint.”

“As we progress with the integration of Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks, we will continue to do the same, bringing all TWC and BHN systems all digital so that Charter can provide its advanced Spectrum products and services, bringing greater value and more consumer-friendly policies,” Charter said.

Preliminary results of the New York investigation found Time Warner at times let connections with Internet content providers become so congested that large volumes of data were regularly lost or discarded. This translated into degraded performance for customers who used on-demand video services, such as Netflix.

“The problems appear to have been particularly acute at prime time,” Wu wrote.

The preliminary findings stem from an investigation Schneiderman’s office launched in October by asking Time Warner Cable for information about its broadband customers and the service packages for which they subscribed.

Schneiderman staffers subsequently asked New York customers of Time Warner Cable and other major broadband providers to use open-source tools that tested the Internet speeds they received from the companies.

“The results we received from Time Warner Cable customers were abysmal,” Wu wrote. “Not only did Time Warner Cable fail to achieve the speeds its customers were promised and paid for (which Time Warner Cable blamed on the testing method), it generally performed worse in this regard than other New York broadband providers.”

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

As the broad stock market inches ever closer to a record high — and exhibits few if any signs that it’s on the cusp of a major upside breakout — one Wall Street bull is predicting just that: a big rally.

Yup. A big rally. As in a potential 15% to 20% move higher in the next six to 12 months. The bullish market call comes from Tony Dwyer, analyst at Canaccord Genuity.

And even Dwyer admits what scares him most is his “high degree of conviction” in his upbeat call, which he says is not shared by many on Wall Street.

So what’s giving Dwyer the confidence to go out on a limb and basically predict a minibull

Entertainment center investors are all smiles Q: Is Dave & Buster’s worth a play?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Dave & Buster’s operates entertainment centers where adults and families can play games and watch sports. It’s giving investors a pretty good time, too.

Shares are up nearly 40% during the past 12 months and have risen 11% this year.

Investors had new reason to celebrate Wednesday after the company posted adjusted quarterly profit of 72 cents a share, beating expectations by 20%, S&P Global Market Intelligence says. The shares jumped Wednesday by $4.29, or 10.3%, to $46.15. The robust quarter led the company to tell investors revenue this fiscal year could hit upwards of $995 million, which topped the $991.9 million expected.

Things look alluring for Dave & Buster’s now. Adjusted profit in the first quarter jumped 56% vs. the same period a year ago as revenue rose 18% to $262 million. Analysts are very bullish on the stock, rating it a “buy” and saying it will be worth $50.40 a share in 18 months.

That would be 9% implied upside from Wednesday’s price.

Adjusted profit is seen rising 30% this year. But with a market premium valuation of 33 times earnings, investors must remain cautious if this concept cools off like it and its competitors have in the past.

Oppenheimer must pay $2.25M penalty for unsuitable sales Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

Broker-dealer Oppenheimer & Co. has been fined $2.25 million for selling non-traditional exchange-traded funds to retail customers without reasonable supervision and for recommending the investments to clients for whom they were unsuitable, Wall Street’s self-regulator said Wednesday.

New York-based Oppenheimer was also ordered to pay $716,000 in restitution to customers who

OPPENHEIMER & CO. WEBSITE

lost money on the investments, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority said.

Since 2009, Oppenheimer had rules that barred its representatives from soliciting retail customers to buy the investments, which include leveraged, inverse and inverse-leveraged exchangetraded funds, FINRA said. The company rules also barred representatives from executing unso-

licited purchases of the funds for retail investors unless the customers had more than $500,000 in liquid assets.

However, Oppenheimer representatives continued to solicit retail customers for the investments and also executed unsolicited transactions for customers who did not meet the asset requirement, FINRA said.

Non-traditional exchangetraded funds are designed to return a multiple of an underlying financial index or benchmark, the inverse of that benchmark, or both, over the course of one trading session, usually a single day,

according to a settlement Oppenheimer reached with FINRA. As a result, the longer-term performance of the investments can differ significantly from their underlying index or benchmark.

For that reason, the investments may not be suitable for retail customers. FINRA said Oppenheimer representatives executed more than 30,000 non-traditional exchange-traded fund transactions totaling roughly $1.7 billion for customers from August 2009 through Sept. 20, 2013.

According to the regulator, some conservative investment clients lost money:

uAn 89-year-old customer whose annual income was $50,000 held 96 of the investments for an average of 32 days, resulting in a $51,847 net loss. uA 91-year-old client with an annual income of $30,000 held 56 investments an average of 48 days producing a net loss of $11,161. uA 67-year-old customer whose annual income was $40,000 held two investments in her account for 729 days, resulting in a $2,746 net loss.

Oppenheimer neither admitted nor denied the charges but consented to entry of the FINRA findings.

Headed to London to catch the new Harry Potter play?

Well, Potter creator J.K. Rowling has one request: no spoilers, please! Audience members who attended ‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’s first preview at London’s Palace Theatre were given buttons asking them to #keepthesecret. In a recorded message, Rowling urged theatergoers to “let audiences enjoy ‘Cursed Child’ with all the surprises that we’ve built into the story.” It is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage.

Andrea Mandell @andreamandell USA TODAY

LOS ANGELES Film festivals may not solve #OscarsSoWhite, but they’re a crucial ladder to the solution.

That’s what festival director Stephanie Allain realized two years ago while programming the Los Angeles Film Festival, which has sought to find its place among sales- and star-driven fests such as Toronto, Sundance and Cannes. “We can be the change we’re looking for by stepping up,” says Allain, a 20-year veteran producer of films such as Hustle & Flow and Dear White People.

She and her team began to pivot from booking glossy studio fare to seeking out projects from women and people of color. “People are so hooked on movie stars,” Allain says. “We’re giving our audience a chance to discover those new voices for themselves.”

Last year, ticket sales for the festival were up 30%, with 25 films selling to buyers such as

Showtime and Netflix. Young filmmakers are “actually connecting with the industry because we’re in L.A., and then having a second and third opportunity to make more films,” she says.

“That’s really how we’re going to change the game of Hollywood, which is through jobs, not just diversity programs.”

Ava DuVernay’s distribution company, Array, acquired Echo Park, Ayanda and Out of Hand from last year’s slate. “It’s a big market for us, because it’s a festival that’s doing such great work in programming in an inclusive way,” says DuVernay.

Notable films this year included actress Amber Tamblyn’s punk rock directorial debut, Paint It Black; Deborah Riley Draper’s Olympic Pride, American Prejudice, a documentary charting 18 black Olympians’ journey to the 1936 Summer Games in Nazi Germany; and Destined, a drama starring Cory Hardrict in dual roles. Immigration thriller Desierto, starring Gael García Bernal, closes the festival Thursday.

Festivals “become like a test kitchen for distributors,” says Political Animals director Jonah Markowitz, whose documentary chronicles the civil rights victories of the first four openly gay elected CaliJimmy LuValle, left, Archie Williams, John Woodruff, Benjamin Johnson and Matthew Robinson arrive in Hamburg for the 1936 Olympics.

fornia state politicians (all women). “When you can sell out a screening at the L.A. Film Festival ... it shows distributors definitely how wide your market is.”

DuVernay, who hops from Selma to Disney’s A Wrinkle in Time (shooting this fall), says her indie background has made her fearless.

“I’m in these spaces at Disney, at Warner (Bros.), at all the places where the deals are, (and) I do walk in with ... that kind of ‘you can always do it’ mentality. That’s what the indie world gave me.”

Allain joined the Membership and Administration Committee of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which runs the Oscars, in March. “At every meeting, they’re saying, ‘Please go out there and find excellent candidates.’ A lot of people don’t even know you can apply,” she says.

She emphasizes that diverse representation at the Oscars won’t be solved in a year, certainly not by one festival. But LAFF is a step in the right direction.

“People are hungry for fresh, humanistic stories. And that’s what we’re really lacking on the big screen from all the big studios,” Allain says. “We have an opportunity to fill that void.”

Destined, a Sliding Doors-style Detroit drama, stars Jesse Metcalfe, left, James Dohring, Cory Hardrict (in dual roles) and Paula Devicq.

The general-entertainment networks are most like their broadcast counterparts, and while each has boosted its original series, as a group they are more dependent upon — and thus more hurt by — ratings for reruns of shows such as The Big Bang Theory, NCIS and Law & Order.

Taking flight KANSAS BASKETBALL

Jackson scores 21 in first KU action

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Add “tough” to the list of words used to describe Kansas University freshman guard Josh Jackson, the No. 1 prospect in the recruiting Class of 2016 according to Rivals.com, Scout.com and 247sports.com.

Jackson, a 6-foot-8, 200-pounder from Prolific Prep in Napa, Calif., scored 21 points off 10-of-17 shooting while helping his Blue team to a 92-85 victory over the Red squad in the Bill Self campers game on Wednesday in Horejsi Center.

He managed to escape injury after getting hammered by freshman forward Mitch Lightfoot on a second-half drive down the middle of the lane.

Jackson, who was hit going up for a right-handed layup, had his feet fly up in the air before he descended hard on his backside underneath the goal.

No hands broke his fall.

He immediately rolled over and placed his hands first on his head, then over his eyes in obvious pain.

“It wasn’t as bad as it looked. I just got the wind knocked out of me. It’s part of basketball,” said Jackson, who only needed a minute on the bench to make sure all of his body parts were where they were supposed to be, before returning to the scrimmage.

“Oh, yeah, he’ll definitely hear about it,” Jackson stated with a smile, asked if he’d tease Lightfoot about the play.

“He already did, a little bit, actually,” Jackson added of talking to the 6-8, 210-pound Lightfoot, who had 11 points for the Red team.

That play put a scare into several hundred campers, Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo who otherwise stomped their feet in approval, with BLUE TEAM GUARD JOSH JACKSON SOARS IN FOR A DUNK during the Bill Self basketball camp scrimmage Wednesday at Horejsi Center. Jackson scored 21 points in his KU “debut.” For more photos from the Please see HOOPS, page 3C scrimmage, please visit www.kusports.com/kubball6816

Rookie shows elite poise The word expectations appears a lot in stories about pre-ordained “one and done” basketball talents. Mine generally are very low in terms of how interview sessions go with them.

Short, formulaic answers.

Minimal or no eye contact.

Teenagers schooled to believe the interviews are burdens, not opportunities to tell their stories and gain experience developing relationships with strangers.

Sure, there are always exceptions. Most of Kentucky’s players project that they enjoy interviews, and they are quite skilled at them. Ditto for Kansas University’s Xavier Henry, a one-and-done player who wanted to stay longer, but somehow felt obligated to leave.

For the most part, though, elite players arrive thinking about leaving, and aside from learning to practice hard and play hard, the only means of earning playing time in Bill Self’s program, they shift into auto-pilot mode.

Man, did Josh Jackson ever blow that stereotype to bits Wednesday. He handled his first session with reporters who cover Kansas basketball so smoothly that after he finishes his basketball career, he ought to think about starting on the path to White House press secretary.

Firebirds motivated by sub-state loss

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Ask Free State High boys basketball players about their two-point overtime loss in the sub-state finals last season, and months later, the pain is still there.

The Firebirds led for the majority of regulation against Wichita Southeast and fell just shy of the school’s first trip to the state tournament since 2013.

More than 13 weeks later, at the beginning of their summer workouts, the new focus is making sure they don’t fall short again.

“The fact that we were so close to winning, and then we just let it slip away at the end,” senior Jacob Pavlyak

said, “it definitely makes us hungrier this year and ready to go to get back to that.”

Practicing Wednesday in the third day of team camp at FSHS, the Firebirds played with the same intensity as most regular-season practices.

On one play, Free State senior Jay Dineen bumped heads with another player chasing after a loose ball, receiving a black-and-blue bump below his eye and eventually stitches above his eye.

At this time last year, the Firebirds were learning a new offensive and defensive system under their new coach, Sam Stroh.

“Year Two is always easier,” Stroh said. “We don’t

have to do as much teaching as far as what we want to run and as far as our system, our expectation and our culture at practice. It’s always good. This time is fun — summer time to develop new kids, see a good incoming freshmen class. We’re excited about the summer.”

Along with the team camp, the Firebirds are in the midst of summer-league play. They posted a 5-1 record in the MidAmerica Nazarene University tournament last weekend, with their only loss against Blue Valley Northwest, which took fourth at the Class 6A state tournament and returns most of its roster.

After this week’s team camp, the Firebirds will

play in the KAMO tournament this weekend, Kansas University team camp from June 17-19 and the University of Denver team camp from June 24-26.

Playing with a large varsity rotation last season, usually around 12 players in most games, the Firebirds have a strong group of returning players.

“It’s definitely good to have a lot of experience,” Pavlyak said. “I think we probably have some of the most experience in the Sunflower League this year.

We’re pretty confident with what we can do with that.”

Cleveland (ap) — Crawling on the floor after a loose ball, LeBron James gathered himself and got to his feet.

The Cavaliers stood with him.

James had 32 points and 11 rebounds, Kyrie Irving added 30 points, and Cleveland, pushed for 48 minutes by a delirious, championship-starved crowd, hammered the Golden State Warriors, 120-90, in Game 3 on Wednesday night to pull within 2-1 in the NBA Finals.

On their home floor, where they have been dominant all postseason, the Cavs yanked their season from the brink of disaster following back-to-back blowout losses in the Bay Area.

“Coaching staff gave us a great game plan, and we executed it for 48 minutes,” said James, whose energy from the start electrified 20,000 fans, and most importantly his teammates.

They Cavs did it without starting forward Kevin Love, with little help from their bench and by keeping Stephen Curry penned in.

The league’s MVP was mostly MIA, scoring 19 points — two in the first half — on 6-of13 shooting. Harrison Barnes scored 18 and Klay Thompson 10 for Golden State, which had won seven straight over Cleveland — the first two finals games by a combined 48 points — and came back to the birthplace of rock and roll looking to party like they did after winning the title in Quicken Loans Arena last year.

The Cavs, though, have made this a series after it appeared the Warriors were on the fast track to another crown.

James had called it “do or die” for Cleveland.

Well, done and living.

“We’ve got to give the same effort on Friday,” James said.

“It started defensively and it trickled down to the offensive side.”

The Warriors didn’t look anything like the team that won a record 73 games during the regular season or the one that overcame a 3-1 deficit in the Western Conference finals.

“We were soft,” said coach Steve Kerr. “When you’re soft, you get beat on the glass and turn the ball over.”

KU FOOTBALL

Second OL pledge changes mind Back in January, as Kansas University’s football coaching staff was racing to finalize its 2016 recruiting class, coach David Beaty and company picked up a couple of commitments from 2017 offensive linemen within hours of one another.

Today, neither lineman remains committed to KU. Grant Polley (6-5, 275, Denton, Texas, High) de-committed almost a month ago, and on Tuesday Jared Hocker (6-5, 290, North Richland Hills, Texas) followed Polley’s lead. The two situations are unrelated other than the fact that both committed early and soon found that interest from other schools with winning pedigrees was headed their way.

Hocker explained via Twitter.

“After a long period of deliberation, I have decided to de-commit from the Jayhawks and reopen my recruiting,” Hocker wrote. “When I received my offer from KU, I wasn’t familiar with the recruiting process and, in hindsight, I made a premature decision. There is a great deal I like, even love, about KU not the least of which is the coaching staff. Coaches Beaty, (Zach) Yenser and (Kenny) Perry have all been wonderful to me and it is with the deepest regret that I feel I must re-examine my options.

Please respect my privacy with no interviews due to my decision. Thank you.”

With Hocker now off the list, KU has oral commitments from six players in the Class of 2017 and

the truth as he sees it, never stumbled over a word, never showed even a glimmer of selfimportance. Flying on the court, grounded in the interview session.

Impressive.

No matter how talented the freshman, adjusting to playing against more physically mature, experienced athletes requires an adjustment.

Sometimes half the battle involves convincing players they have a lot to learn, starting with listening skills. Clearly, that’s not a problem for Jackson.

He even characterized playing against such experienced talent in the camp scrimmage as “extremely intimidating.”

Jackson certainly didn’t play scared on his way to 21 points.

So long and lean, Jackson showed the tools that made him the No. 1 recruit in the loaded Class of 2016: great burst of speed running down a wayward pass on the break, quick second jump, quick pull-back move, vertically quick, laterally quick. Quick, quick, quick. He also showed a soft touch from long range with an unusually low release, out in front of the chest, and a lust and knack for stealing passes.

Jackson’s long arms and springy legs ideally suit him to play basketball, but it’s his head that will make him soar to the greatest heights.

An onslaught of adoration awaits, but here’s guessing his head never inflates.

Jackson performing as well as advertised.

He had a steal and twohanded flush for his first bucket, then swished a 15foot jumper. He also hit a floater in the lane, a threepointer from the side and right-handed stickback of his own miss of a driving layup out of his left hand.

“It’s extremely intimidating,” Jackson said of running the court with the likes of senior Frank Mason III, who had 24 points for Jackson’s Blue team; former KU forward Kevin Young, who had 16 points; senior Landen Lucas, who had 10; and former KU guard Brady Morningstar, who chipped in nine.

The losing Red team was led by sophomore Lagerald Vick, who had 29 points off 10-of-13 shooting, with seven threes.

“They are a lot stronger than I am. They’ve got a lot more experience.

I’m just trying to learn a lot of things from them that they went through when they were in my position,” Jackson said.

“I’m just trying to learn as many things as I can to help better myself and my team this year.”

Jayhawks past and present have given him some advice since his arrival on campus for summer school Monday.

“Probably a few I’ve been getting is to believe in myself a little bit,” Jackson said. “I know that I’m a freshman. Many people who have all these expectations for me, they just tell me not to let it go to my head, just let me play my game and let it all come naturally.”

room to add somewhere in the range of 15 more, depending on how many additions to the current roster wind up counting forward to the 2017 class due to the blue-shirt rule.

Eight years?

On Wednesday, the Big 12 bloggers at ESPN. com released a piece that featured various Big 12 coaches anonymously sizing up other programs in the conference.

Among the things coaches were asked about Kansas included the general state of the program, how KU has come close to pulling off a few home upsets in recent years and whether second-year coach Beaty can really get things turned around.

Here were the answers: “He took over a disaster, but I think he did a good job,” one Big 12 head

coach said. “They’ll get some guys, but it’s going to take a long time. They have to give him some time. He’s going to need about eight years to get that program right. And it’s not easy up there.”

“They’re spooky,” another Big 12 head coach said.

“Unless you’re Texas, Oklahoma or Baylor and you can go up there and overwhelm them athletically, you kind of have to watch it with them. You can go up there, they’ll have like 20,000 in the stands and they can get you.”

As for how things can get turned around, another Big 12 offensive assistant coach offered this: “First, you find guys who want to be there. Then you recruit, recruit, recruit, with an eye on competing in Year 3 or 4. You have to teach them to compete. Teach them how to win.”

KU offers 2019 RB After wowing coaches during this week’s high school team camp at KU, St. Thomas Aquinas freshman Jayden Russell, a member of the Class of 2019 who will be a sophomore next season, received a scholarship offer from the Jayhawks.

The fact that Russell, 6-foot-2, 175 pounds, is a local prospect certainly had an impact on the early offer since the KU coaching staff will be able to keep a close eye on his development.

Russell, whose college football future may include defense, tweeted out the news shortly after completing camp Tuesday.

“I’m very honored and blessed to say I’ve received my 1st football offer from KU! #Rockchalk,” Russell wrote.

working on throughout the offseason, is players stepping up into newer and bigger roles.

Stroh noted the JV squad had a strong season last year, and those players are gaining valuable experience in the summer-league games.

“We lost a big part of our team last year,” senior Shannon Cordes said.

“You have to step up and be a leader. It’s a little bit of a different feel because of a different role. But it’s the same stuff as last year.”

Looking to make the jump to the state tournament, Stroh issued a challenge to his players at the beginning of summer workouts.

“We have to find a way to make that extra play to get to the state tournament,” Stroh said. “It’s a long ways away from now, but that’s why we are here, to get better from now to March.”

BLUE TEAM GUARD JOSH JACKSON DRIVES AGAINST RED TEAM GUARD BRANNEN GREENE during the Bill Self basketball camp scrimmage Wednesday at Horejsi Center.

BLUE TEAM GUARD FRANK MASON III, RIGHT, PULLS UP TO PASS as Red Team forward Carlton Bragg Jr. defends.

He is willing to admit he feels “a lot of expectations. I’m just trying to come here, be part of a winning team, win as many games as we can and hopefully I fulfill every expectation I have this year.”

Music to fans’ ears will be his declaration that he’s in no hurry to head to the pros.

“Just to get better while I’m here,” he said of his

own personal goals to go with the obvious — winning. “A lot of people would say I’m a one-anddone player. I don’t really view myself that way. I think I’ll be here as long as I need to be, until I feel I’m ready to take that next step. While I’m here, I want to get as good as I can and win as many games as I can.”

KU coach Self said this week he has been im-

pressed with Jackson’s personality.

Jackson has gone out of his way to introduce himself to teammates and other students on campus, not wait for strangers to come up to him. The roommate of Vick and Carlton Bragg Jr. (14 points Wednesday), Jackson said he already has received the most help from Mason and Devonté Graham.

“I didn’t want to let anybody down. I just wanted to show them I could play and be helpful to the team this year,” Jackson said of his first conversations with his new teammates.

Jackson met the media Wednesday for the first time in a long time.

He hadn’t spoken since April at various prep allstar games. Until Wednesday, the Detroit native had not yet explained publicly why he chose Kansas over Arizona and Michigan State on April 11.

“I picked KU because I felt it would better me the most on and off the court as a man and as a player,”

he said. “I felt like the coaching staff around here I could really trust. I loved all the guys on the team. I felt they were all playing for the right reasons. I got a real family feeling here.

When I was here (on visit for Texas game), I knew in my mind this is the place I wanted to be.”

He said he felt a good vibe from the players on his visit.

“To win at all costs,” he said. “A lot of guys who have a lot of talent mainly worry about scoring and looking good. Me and the rest of the guys on the team … I can see it’s about winning. Each and every one of us will do whatever we have to do to make sure that happens.”

Of wanting to play for a tough coach like Self, he said: “I felt coach Self was the perfect coach to coach me. I don’t like things being handed to me at all.

I believe that’s the way things should be done and the way things have always been done. Everything has to be done the right way.” l

Recruiting update: KU has extended a scholarship offer to 6-5 small forward Marcedus Leech, who made an unofficial visit to campus Wednesday, Rivals.com reports. He’s a sophomore-to-be from Poplar Bluff (Mo.) High.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Royals’ slide hits seven The Associated Press

American League Orioles 4, Royals 0 Baltimore — The Kansas City Royals quietly packed their bags before heading for Chicago, hopeful that a day off and a different venue would help them end a humbling skid.

After losing four games in Cleveland, the Royals went 0-for-Baltimore, falling to the Orioles, 4-0, on Wednesday night for their seventh straight defeat.

Kansas City has been outscored 42-8 during the losing streak, its longest since an identical run in August 2013. Over their last six games, the Royals have been limited to one run four times and been blanked twice.

“I know these guys are trying. They’re just not being very productive right now,” manager Ned Yost said. “We’ve just got to keep working. Frustration does you no good.”

Orioles starter Chris Tillman allowed eight hits in 71⁄3 innings, striking out nine and walking none to earn his seventh straight win. The righthander is unbeaten in 10 starts since April 14, 6-0 at home and tied for second in the AL in wins.

“He’s the kind of guy the radar doesn’t do justice to his fastball,” designated hitter Eric Hosmer said. “When he gets it up in the zone, it’s hard to hit.”

Brad Brach recorded the final five outs to earn his second save and help the Orioles complete their first three-game sweep of Kansas City since May 2011. Baltimore has won four straight and seven of eight.

The Orioles took control with a four-run fifth inning against Edinson Volquez (5-6). Ryan Flaherty had the key hit, a bases-loaded double that broke open a scoreless game. Adam Jones followed with a sacrifice fly, and Hyun Soo Kim capped the uprising with an RBI single.

That was more than enough offense to down the sputtering Kansas City offense.

“It’s very frustrating because I know we’re all capable of playing a lot better,” center fielder Lorenzo Cain said. “We’re all struggling. We have to find a way to get it going.”

The skid has dropped the defending World Series champions from first to third in the AL Central.

After a day off in Chicago today, the Royals open a three-game series against the White Sox desperate for a win.

“It’s definitely frustrating, especially with a good team like ours that hasn’t dealt with this for a long time,” Hosmer said.

The last time Kansas City lost seven straight was in August 2013.

Six with KU ties headed to state Hall J-W Staff Reports

Four former Kansas University student athletes, a former assistant basketball coach and longtime broadcaster Bob Davis will be inducted into the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame on Oct. 2, the KSHOF announced Wednesday.

The 12-member class will be enshrined during ceremonies at the HOF in the Wichita Boathouse.

The Kansas contingent: Davis, Bill Bridges (men’s basketball), Tamecka Dixon (women’s basketball), Bill Dotson (track & field), Scott Huffman (track & field) and former KU assistant men’s basketball coach Lafayette Norwood.

The other six class members are: Steve Anson (Kansas State and Washburn baseball), Jerry Kill (national football coach of the year from Cheney), Deandra Doubrava-McBride (Emporia State track and field), Jaime Mendez III

(Kansas State football), Austra Skujyte (Kansas State track and field) and George Sweatt (Pittsburg State and Negro League World Series Champion).

Anson, Bridges and Sweatt will all be honored posthumously.

Here’s a look at the Hall-bound Jayhawks:

Bill Bridges Bridges, originally from Hobbs, N.M., was a three-time All-Big Eight Conference selection.

Bridges collected more than 1,000 points and rebounds during his threeyear Kansas career. In 1961, Bridges was named a first-team All-American. Following his collegiate career, Bridges was selected by the St. Louis Hawks in the 1961 NBA Draft. Bridges played 13 NBA seasons with the St. Louis/Atlanta Hawks, Philadelphia 76ers, Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors, where he totaled more than 11,000 career points and rebounds.

Dotson won five Big Eight Conference track titles, three indoor titles and two outdoor, and won the Big Eight Conference title in cross country in 1961. Dotson set three American records in the mile during his career.

Scott Huffman Quinter native Huffman won the high school state championship in the pole vault at Quinter in 1983, then walked on at KU, where he perfected what became known as the “Huffman Roll” polevault technique. Huffman won the 1986 Big Eight Conference outdoor and the 1988 Big Eight Conference indoor championships and was named an indoor All-American in 1986 and 1988. In 1994, Huffman entered his name in the American record books when he

cleared a record 19 feet, 7 inches. Huffman was a three-time USA Track and Field National Champion following his career at KU, and he competed in the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, finishing 13th.

Lafayette Norwood Wichita native Norwood, a graduate of Wichita East High in 1952, Norwood attended Cowley College for two years before completing his degree at Southwestern College in 1956. In 1969, Norwood made history when he was named the head basketball coach at Wichita Heights High and became the first African-American coach in the Wichita school district. Norwood led the Falcons to a 109-56 record and a state championship in 1977 before being named an assistant coach for fellow Kansas Sports Hall of Fame inductee Ted Owens at KU in 1978. In 1981, Norwood was named the head basketball and golf coach at Johnson County Community College.
