DEATHS

LAWRENCE • STATE KU journalism honoree, ex-LA Times editor dies at 73 Lexington, Ky. (ap) — John S. Carroll, former editor of the Baltimore Sun and the Los Angeles Times, which won 13 Pulitzer Prizes during his fiveyear tenure, has died. He was 73.

Carroll died Sunday morning at his home in Lexington, Ky., where he was once editor of the Lexington HeraldLeader, said his wife, Lee Carroll. He had been suffering from CreutzfeldtJakob Disease, a rare and debilitating neurological disorder.

Carroll was editor and senior vice president at the Baltimore Sun from 1991 until 2000, when he took the head position at the Times that would become his last journalism job in a career spanning 40 years.

In 2011, Kansas University’s School of Journalism honored Carroll with the William Allen White Foundation’s national citation at the Kansas Union. He gave a speech titled “Ideology in a Hurricane” at the public ceremony.

His years at the Times

Carroll were considered a high point in the paper’s recent history, and he and his managing editor Dean Baquet, who would succeed Carroll there and go on to lead The New York Times, were given credit for reviving newsroom morale after a 1999 issue of the paper’s Sunday magazine whose revenue sharing agreement with the new downtown Staples Center arena became an ethical crisis and source of discord.

The paper’s 13 Pulitzers during Carroll’s five years came after it won just eight in the 1990s.

Carroll’s departure came amid increasing tensions

knows who she is and they know that if they’re on her field she’s going to keep the reins really tight.”

“She doesn’t take a whole lot of guff from anybody,” Moore added.

Robertson, a retired public works employee, may take the game seriously, but she’s quick with a smile and a quip whether she’s behind home plate as an official or somewhere on the field.

“She’s very sweet but very direct,” said Sheila Ward, Robertson’s longtime coach. “I’ve had to tell some of my players not to take her too seriously. She’s going to yell at you, it’s her background, but it’s all in good fun and in the name of recreation.”

For the past 15 years Robertson has been on the same Pepsi-sponsered softball team, Ward said, and she’s grown close to those around her.

“Every year she tells us she’s retiring and she never does,” Ward said. “She’s in really great shape. I think she likes the exercise and the social aspect of playing, knowing all the same people.”

“We all laugh and make fun of her because she’s still using the same glove she used as a kid,” Ward added, laughing.

That glove, Robertson said, was given to her as a present in the ’70s and is so heavily worn that the pocket is now held together with a zip tie.

“Back in 1974 it cost $120,” she said. “It was a very nice glove and I’m still using it. They just laugh and laugh at me.”

Despite the indecision on hanging up her ball glove and cleats, Robertson said this season may be her last.

Recently she’s become more involved in playing pickle ball and may switch sports entirely after the season.

Cory Ingham, who has played in Lawrence’s adult softball league since the mid-’90s, said everybody knows Robertson.

“She’s friendly, tough and fair,” he said.

For years Ingham said he avoided playing catcher, but recently he’s taken a liking to the position. Since then he’s found that Robertson, among the other officials, often joke around with their players, making the experience even more fun.

“She’s still in great shape and she can keep up,” he said. “But I don’t want to say too much.

It’s unnatural to compliment an umpire.”

Jaw

is no longer viable when it comes out.

Detamore’s project would eliminate the additional operations.

He’s researching a paste that could immediately replace the removed skull, remain flexible enough for the brain to swell for a time, then ultimately regenerate into bone.

Also in the works is a pastelike replacement cartilage derived from organ donor’s natural cartilage, as well as regenerative cartilage plugs for knee injuries, a project that has been successful in sheep and for which Detamore has formed a company to get to clinical trails and ultimately on the market.

Airways and knees Bob Weatherly, otolaryngology section chief at Children’s Mercy Hospital, operates on young children with narrowed airways.

He cuts open the trachea, expands it and patches it with some of the child’s own rib cartilage or sometimes a piece of the child’s ear.

“It works, but it leaves an area that we have to harvest from that could potentially have problems,” Weatherly said.

Pain, infection and the piece not fitting right are all risks.

Detamore’s lab is creating a patch that would start out rigid enough to support the trachea but eventually bio-absorb so natural tissue could grow in its place, Weatherly said.

The patch, which emulates the ridges and curves of a natural trachea, is created with a 3-D printer and another machine that spins fine strands of polymers over the top, Detamore said.

Doctors could simply pull the product off the shelf.

Long-term effort Though KU does have a bioengineering graduate program, it does not have a biomedical engineering program. Detamore is a professor in the Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Department.

His students include chemical and mechanical engineering and biology majors.

The research process takes a long time.

Detamore said he’s been working on the knee plugs since shortly after arriving at KU in 2004.

He said he hopes his work will inspire the next generation, and hopefully also help some people earlier than that.

“Physicians are limited by the technology that’s developed by biomedical engineering,” Detamore said. “I like the idea of being creative and coming up with new ideas that can help improve quality of life for people.”

engineering. In his labs at KU, he and students are building various replacement parts designed to transform over time into the real thing.

Doctors encounter all kinds of injuries and conditions where the body can’t heal itself, Detamore said.

“We’re trying to creatively solve those problems.”

Detamore’s tissue engineering projects are in various stages, with some just beginning and others that have shown success in animals and could be tested on people in the near future.

He works with various materials, including human stem cells through the Umbilical Cord Matrix Project at KU. But bone and cartilage are a primary focus.

KU Hospital craniofacial surgeon Brian Andrews, working with Detamore on replacement skulls, said the professor is fast becoming a world expert, particularly in the area of 3-D printing with biomaterial.

“He’s someone who is really going to change medicine someday, without being a medical doctor,” Andrews said.

Jaws The idea for the jawbone project, still in early stages, is to use a 3-D printer to create a new condyle — the end of the jawbone that fits into the socket — to match the

shape of what’s missing.

The material shooting through the printer is a special combination of plastic and mineral substances naturally found in bone. The replacement part acts as a scaffold to guide new bone growth in the right direction, Detamore said, but the special material is designed to slowly disintegrate over time at about the same speed natural bone fills in.

The new “bone” is also capped with new “cartilage,” made of hydrogel and applied layer by layer using a different 3-D printing method called stereolithography.

Skulls Andrews’ patients suffering from traumatic brain injury caused by blunt trauma or strokes require surgery to remove an entire side of the skull, allowing their brains to swell.

During the weeks to months before Andrews can put the skull back, patients’ heads sink in like a divot from a 9-iron and many experience severe headaches and problems with motor function, he said.

In the meantime the bone, which is living tissue, must be “banked,” Andrews said. It’s either implanted in the patient’s abdomen — though in children or thin people there’s not always enough space to do this — or stored in a sterile freezer — and sometimes

over newsroom budget cuts and the paper’s direction with corporate owner, the Tribune Company.

He received a standing ovation from the staff when he announced his resignation, and the Times’ then-publisher Jeff Johnson told The Associated Press that Carroll left behind an “extraordinary legacy of journalistic excellence.”

Born in New York and raised in North Carolina and Washington, D.C., Carroll graduated from Haverford College in Pennsylvania in 1963 and took his first job as a reporter for the Providence Journal in Rhode Island.

He served two years in the Army and in 1966 went to work as a reporter for the Sun, where he covered the Vietnam War and the Nixon White House.

Carroll shifted to editor with a move to the Philadelphia Inquirer in 1973. He was hired by editor Gene Roberts, who successfully sought to transform that paper into a major force in journalism in the 1970s.

“People have had sump pump failure, their electricity go out and foundation problems.”

Douglas County farmers also are hoping for the rain to stop. The saturated soil has forced farmers to delay planting soybeans, which usually are sewn throughout May and early June.

Dale Robb, whose farm is about 5 miles northwest of Lawrence, said Sunday he is at least three weeks behind in his planting.

“We got a little planted,” he acknowledged, “but we’ve got quite a bit to go yet.”

Robb said by this time of year, he usually has all of his soybeans planted, but that owing to all the rain, he only has about 45 percent in the ground so far. And the planting delay will mean a later harvest, increasing chances his soybeans will be affected by frost or cold weather, Robb noted.

After another wet weekend, an additional inch of rain could fall in Lawrence between Monday and Tuesday, Drake said Sunday night.

“Rain just stops everything,” Robb lamented.

“You just have to live with it.”

touted his experiment as a model for other states — and perhaps the federal government in Washington. Less than a year after Brownback was narrowly re-elected by assuring skeptical voters that economic growth would preserve funding for schools and government programs, his aides warned GOP lawmakers that draconian cuts would result if they didn’t pass tax increases to fill the budget gap.

Kansas found itself in such a deep budget hole because the tax cuts implemented in 2013 initially led to a steep fall in revenue that has still not reversed as much as Brownback had hoped.

For the fiscal year beginning next month, the state estimated in midApril that it would face a shortfall of 12 percent of its general fund budget.

“Taxes matter, but so does responsible budgeting,” said Joseph Henchman, a vice president at the Washington-based nonpartisan but conservative-leaning Tax Foundation. “You can’t just cut taxes and keep your spending the way it is and expect some sort of magic to balance it.”

Other states struggled this year with budget problems, several after cutting taxes in previous

years, including Louisiana, Oklahoma and West Virginia. Louisiana lawmakers raised their state’s cigarette tax, scaled back business tax breaks and raised a fee on car dealers.

Two bills approved by Kansas legislators in the waning hours of their session will raise $384 million during the fiscal year beginning July 1, to avert a deficit prohibited by the state constitution.

The sales tax will rise to 6.5 percent from 6.15 percent, and the cigarette tax will jump to $1.29.

Democratic state Sen. David Haley, of Kansas City, publicly wished Republican colleagues well in trying to explain to voters one of the largest tax increases in state history.

“Personally, I’m going to miss serving with some of you, because I doubt they’ll return you,” he said.

Net effects Republicans who pushed the plan said its tax increases have to be seen in the context of the income tax cuts in 2012

and 2013, which the Legislature’s top tax analyst said could be worth $900 million annually.

GOP lawmakers are likely to make that point repeatedly in seeking reelection next year. Republican senators briefly hashed over possible campaign talking points in a meeting before their last crucial vote and also are likely to argue that the state has suffered because the national economy is not yet robust.

“We’re saying, ‘Wait a minute, we probably overdid this a little bit and we’re running short of money,’ not necessarily because of what’s going on in the state,” Senate tax committee chairman Les Donovan, a Wichita Republican, told his colleagues.

The plan approved

by Republican legislators contained a modest income tax increase for 281,000 business owners and 53,000 farmers who stopped paying income taxes on their profits under a 2012 policy championed by Brownback. But the increase represents about 11 percent of the

voters. There would be some exceptions, including spending to cover bond payments, finance new infrastructure, improve roads, or pay legal judgments. The change is aimed at forcing a reduction in tax levies if property values rise.

Private school scholarships More at-risk students would be eligible for private school scholarships under a program created last year to help at-risk students, kindergarten through 12th grade.

The program gives corporate income tax credits totaling $10 million a year to businesses contributing to groups that award scholarships for at-risk students. The amount of tax credits would not increase, however.

Also, the funds could flow directly from the groups to the schools, rather than the parents.

Tax amnesty The Department of Revenue will be allowed to waive penalties and interest for any delinquent taxpayers who settle their bills in full from Sept. 1 to Oct. 15. tax break they received — and critics suggested it will be relatively easy to avoid.

What lies ahead Brownback said in a statement that GOP legislators’ plan “keeps the state on a path of economic growth, creating well-paying jobs.”

Mike O’Neal, the president and CEO of the Kansas Chamber of Commerce and a former House speaker, said afterward that the state remains on Brownback’s promised “march to zero” income taxes.

“Sometimes your legacy is not fully appreciated until after you’re gone,” O’Neal said of Brownback, who is term-limited and will leave office in January 2019.

But Henchman predicted in an online posting after legislators’ final vote on the package that they’ll be addressing budget gaps in future years.

Matthew Gardner, executive director of the left-leaning, Washingtonbased Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, said Kansas’ experience makes it more difficult for other states to pursue aggressive income tax cuts. In South Carolina, Republican Gov. Nikki Haley couldn’t pass income tax cuts even after declaring, “We are not doing what Kansas did.”

“It’s clearly a cautionary tale for other states to have in mind,” Gardner said.

makes an effort to educate young people about World War II. “We have a Veterans Lectureship where a couple of veterans go around and give talks to schools and Boy Scout troops, and sometimes they even come out here to the hangar,” Long said. “We want the younger people to realize the sacrifice that war took.”

John Bartholomew said he became involved in the Jayhawk Wing about 10 years ago and served as wing leader, the group’s top leadership position.

He said his passion for flying and airplanes brought him to the group but that one of the most important things the group does is keep history alive.

“There’s a saying that says a country that does not remember its history has no history,” Bartholomew said. “That was really impressive to me, because right now, most children don’t have any idea what we did during World War II, and we need to make people aware. Freedom didn’t come without sacrifice.”

Bartholomew said many of the members had relatives who were in World War II or are veterans themselves, so teaching people about what happened is important to them.

“A lot of people got involved in the wing because their parents were in World War II,” Long said. “We’ll have guys about our age come up and say, ‘My dad flew that airplane in the war.’

Linda Stach said that although she has been a member of the Jayhawk Wing for only one year, she has already met many people with connections to the war and the group’s aircraft.

“There was a guy in Hutchinson last year who wanted to fly in an A-26, but we couldn’t get him up because he was so moved by the memories he had,” Stach said. “Some people get really emotional.

“It brings a lot of memories back for people, and they relate their stories to us and we learn from that, so it really is interesting.”

Hand-sewn quilt reflects history of Lecompton Lecompton (ap) — A large quilt that tells the story of the former Kansas territorial capital of Lecompton is hanging at a museum in the northeast Kansas town.

The 27-panel creation was designed by Shirley Funk and embroidered and quilted by her mother, Mae Holderman, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, The Topeka Capital-Journal reports. It’s among 35 quilts that are being displayed at the Territorial Capital Museum through July 5. They’ll also be featured during the upcoming Territorial Days celebration Friday and Saturday.

Jennifer Anderson, of Lawrence, says her mother and grandmother conducted historic research and traveled to fabric stores throughout Kansas to hunt for the right color of fabrics for the quilt.

In the territorial days, Lecompton played an important role in the bloody fight over whether Kansas would enter the Union as a free or slave

“

They loved history. It’s what they cherished.”

— Jennifer Anderson, of Lawrence state. A centerpiece block replicates an original map of Lecompton made by the Lecompton Town company in 1857 and filed in November 1889. The street names and other information are embroidered on the fabric.

Other images sewn on the quilt’s panels are pioneer families doing chores and a cave where escaped slaves hid. It also shows the wedding of David Eisenhower and Ida Stover, who met at Lecompton’s former Lane University and married in the town in September 1885. They were the parents of President Dwight Eisenhower.

“They loved history.

It’s what they cherished,” Anderson said.

The mother-daugh-

ter quilters also made a similar quilt for the Lebo community and a quilt that hung in the office of Kansas Gov. John Carlin, who served from 1979 to 1987.

Another highlight of the show is a quilt made

by Mary McClanahan, who came to the Kansas Territory from Missouri with her father and husband in 1854. Her father, George Zinn, had staked a property claim earlier when he passed through the area on his way to fight in the Mexican War. Zinn became a farmer in the territory, while Mary’s husband, John, worked in a saw mill and farmed.

The quilt has a back made of a checkered fabric. The fragile top appears to be a woven fabric that has been quilted.

“Mary lived to be 95 and ran the farm for many years,” said Donna McClanahan, of Topeka, Mary’s great-great-greatgranddaughter, adding the pioneer woman also raised nine children.

Kansas dig turns up signs of settlement Arkansas City (ap) — An archaeological dig in south-central Kansas has turned up evidence of a Native American settlement that dates back more than 400 years, according to a Wichita State University professor who led the excavation work.

Don Blakeslee, archaeologist and Wichita State professor of anthropology who led a recent five-day dig in Arkansas City, said researchers found iron and lead balls that are the same type of ammunition shot from cannons and muskets by Spanish conquistadors who explored the Great Plains in the 16th and 17th centuries.

He said the evidence supports his theory that Arkansas City is the site of the 5-milelong town of Etzanoa, which was inhabited by about 20,000 ancestors of the Wichita

Indians about 400 years ago, The Arkansas City Traveler reported.

The dig included five archaeologists, half a dozen Wichita State archaeology students and volunteers in field work at five main locations along the bluffs of the Walnut River.

Gary McAdams, former president of the Wichita tribe, and Terri Parton, current president, attended a public presentation Blakeslee gave recently and said they support the Arkansas City studies.

They said they also toured the lower Walnut River areas with Blakeslee last summer.

“It was a feeling kind of thing, to imagine 20,000 of our people living here,” Parton said.

Plan for Clinton and Inverness may include duplexes

P

erhaps you remember back in late 2013 when a business group filed plans to build a “family fun center� with go-karts, batting cages, mini bowling and other such items near the corner of Clinton Parkway and Inverness Drive. Perhaps you also remember that neighborhood opposition killed the project, leaving several of us not nearly enough opportunities to wear our midriff bowling shirts in public. (Everything in mini bowling has to be smaller, right?)

Well, development interest for that same piece of vacant west Lawrence property is heating up again. But this time the type of business that may locate there is a mystery.

Plans have been filed at City Hall to rezone about 7 acres of vacant property near the corner of Clinton Parkway and Inverness Drive to accommodate “neighborhood commercial� development. Currently the property is zoned for

It also is worth noting that the fun center idea — if it included outdoor uses like the go-karts — would require a special use permit.

The group has not filed for any such permit.

Like I said, I really don’t know that the fun center is in play, but it has been my understanding that the fun center developers have been looking around town for a location for their project. If you remember, the company publicly disclosed it was interested in locating next to a new police headquarters project when it was proposed for a

epairing a plaster ceiling is the best way to maintain an older home’s integrity.

Step 1: Plastering is a messy job. Prepare the work space by removing furniture and covering everything with plastic.

Tape plastic sheeting over doors and windows to reduce the spread of plaster dust.

Step 2: Use indoor scaffolding or an elevated platform to allow freedom of movement during the plaster application. Position the platform so the ceiling is a foot or less above the top of your head.

Step 3: Prepare the surface by removing all the loose plaster. It is imperative that the edges of the patch area are structurally sound and firmly attached to the wood lath.

Step 4: Back cut the plaster around the edges of the patch area at an angle to allow the new plaster to lock between the existing plaster and the lath.

Step 5: Reattach any loose lath and repair broken boards. Clean out

tax to pay for the police headquarters project, and thus the project never got off the ground.

I’ll let you know if I hear more details about the type of commercial development proposed.

There is another part of the plan, however, that may draw concern from neighbors. The same development group has filed a plan that would allow for 28 new living units of duplexes to be built on the property.

The duplex development would be just west of the existing Remington Square Apartments. Essentially the duplexes would be a buffer between the apartments and the proposed commercial lot. The LawrenceDouglas County Planning Commission is scheduled to consider that duplex development at its June 22 meeting.

Unlike the proposed commercial development,

ing allows for duplexes.

Neighbors have been very united in their opposition to new apartment and rental units on that property. In fact they just get downright mad, like when their spouse has hidden their mini bowling pants from them. Neighbors feel that the city has allowed that area to turn into much more of a multifamily neighborhood than what was envisioned when the adjacent single-family homes were developed years ago.

Technically, duplexes aren’t apartments, though. We’ll see what type of response the duplex idea elicits from both neighbors and the planners tasked with approving the project. — This is an excerpt from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column, which appears each weekday on LJWorld.com.

BOTTOM LINE City commissioners will consider a financing agreement to install a new traffic signal at Sixth Street and Champion Lane, which is at the entrance to the Bauer Farm development in northwest Lawrence.

Traffic entering the development has increased as retail projects have been added. The Kansas Department of Transportation is providing $250,000 for the project.

The remaining $150,000 needed for the project would be provided by property owners near the intersection on both the north and south sides of Sixth Street.

Step 6: Use a spray bottle and brush to wet the surface to be plastered.

Step 7: Mix the plaster to a thick consistency.

Do not mix more plaster than can be applied in 20 minutes.

Step 8: Use a flat plaster trowel and a plaster hawk to apply the plaster to the ceiling area. Place a lump of plaster on the hawk and scoop some of it onto the trowel.

Employee issue A legal case that started over the release of some KU emails is raising some broader issues about university employees.

I

s the executive director of Kansas University’s Center for Applied Economics a KU employee or not?

The definition of Art Hall’s employment status still is in dispute in a legal proceeding seeking the release of Hall’s university emails, and the resolution of the dispute could have a significant impact on future operations at KU. On one hand, an attorney for the students seeking the emails said the answer to the question is “stupidly simple.” Hall teaches KU students and has an office at KU. He is supervised by a KU administrator and his paychecks are signed by KU. An attorney for KU agreed, saying “I don’t know how you could reasonably conclude … that he does not work for KU.” And yet, an attorney for Hall has created doubt about Hall’s employment status. The Center for Applied Economics is self-funded, the attorney argued, and Hall is not a public employee because his salary is funneled through the KU Endowment Association, a private entity.

All of this relates to the email issue because, if Hall is employed by KU, his emails likely are subject to release under the Kansas Records Act, but if he is not a public employee, those emails could be protected as private communication.

That uncertainty about Hall’s employment status has caused Douglas County District Court Judge James McCabria to declare that more evidence is needed to resolve disputed facts in the case and set a November trial date in the case.

The reason this case could have a broad impact at KU goes back to the contention that people who are paid by private funds that are funneled through the private KU Endowment Association may not qualify as KU employees. If that is the case, it could affect employees of a number of centers in the university that are funded by grants and private donations, not to mention all the distinguished faculty members who hold endowed professorships funded by private donors. If those people aren’t technically university employees, it would affect not only whether they are subject to the Open Records Act but also could have a significant impact on how they function in the university’s academic community. If privately paid faculty aren’t really KU employees, would they be subject to all the same rules that apply to other university faculty? Are they covered by the new social media rule approved by the Kansas Board of Regents? Should they be part of the state retirement system?

Depending on how it is resolved, this question of when a KU employee might not be a KU employee could have serious ramifications for the university.

Mexico’s own Jesse Ventura?

There were big headlines in the media describing the victory of an independent politician as the new governor of Mexico’s key northern state of Nuevo Leon as the rise of a new political star and a turning point in Mexico’s history because it could open the door to a powerful independent presidential candidacy in 2018. But I doubt that any of this will happen.

While Jaime “El Bronco” Rodriguez won an impressive victory against all odds, and might turn out to be a great governor, Mexico’s established political parties are likely to do whatever they can to undermine his governorship. And they might succeed.

There is a good chance that “El Bronco” could end up being Mexico’s Jesse Ventura.

Remember Jesse Ventura? He was the independent politician and former professional wrestler who against all odds won the Minnesota governorship in 1998 and served until 2003.

But the state Legislature and the media made his life as governor impossible, and he decided not to run for a second term. Ventura then moved to Mexico, where according to published reports, he lived part-time for many years.

Much like “El Bronco” today in Mexico, Ventura made world headlines when he won the 1998 race for governor as an independent running for the Reform Party, fueling hopes among many that his election would mark the start of a new era in which the Democratic and Republican parties would no longer have a virtual monopoly over U.S. elections.

But after some early successes, Democrats and Republicans in the Minnesota Legislature blocked most of his proposals. In his first three years in office, the Legislature overrode 12 Ventura vetoes. Comparatively, “No

Rather than the beginning of a new era marked by the rise of independent politicians, Mexico’s June 7 midterm elections might have shown an amazing resilience of the country’s historically corrupt PRI and its closest allies.”

previous governor had more than four vetoes overridden in a four-year term,” USA Today reported on June 18, 2002.

Granted, “El Bronco” is a more traditional politician than Ventura — Rodriguez was a member of the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) for three decades — and has vowed to work together with politicians from all parties. But whether federal and local officials of traditional parties will allow him to be a successful governor is a big if.

Rather than the beginning of a new era marked by the rise of independent politicians, Mexico’s June 7 midterm elections might have shown an amazing resilience of the country’s historically corrupt PRI and its closest allies.

According to preliminary estimates by the Mitofsky polling firm, the PRI and two of its allied parties will maintain a combined majority of more than 250 seats in the 500-member Chamber of Deputies.

Although it lost some important governorships, that’s not a bad result for President Enrique Pena Nieto, whose popularity has plummeted over the past year.

Ninety-one percent of Mexicans don’t trust politicians, and 90 percent don’t trust political parties, according to a recent survey by the Center for Research and Economic Teaching (CIDE) and the Mexican Institute for Competitiveness (IMC.) Still, the ruling PRI party, which has ruled Mexico for most of the past century, won the mid-term elections.

My opinion: The Pena Nieto government will maintain a still-to-be-determined majority in Congress thanks to the questionable practices of its satellite Green Party, which significantly increased its number of deputies through reported gifts to voters and other violations of electoral laws.

Unfortunately, the midterm elections showed that old-time electoral tricks by the PRI and its main allies, as well as by the center-right PAN party and the leftist PRD and MORENA parties, are alive and well in Mexico.

For an independent candidate like “El Bronco” to become a viable presidential candidate in 2018, he would have to prevail over a hostile state legislature, collect 1 million signatures to become a presidential candidate, and get the support of Mexico’s biggest television networks.

I wish “El Bronco” well, but I don’t see all of that happening. Rather than pin its hopes on the illusion of an independent presidential candidacy, Mexico should work on perfecting its voting system to make sure that traditional political parties don’t bend electoral laws, like some of them did — again — this time.

PUBLIC FORUM

Outside review To the editor: Commissioner Flory has written an excellent letter in the Your Turn column (June 9) which reads like an attempt to explain away the looming question in the minds of the general public, as to the issue of political favoritism relative to Kris Kobach’s building project.

However, there are still unanswered questions.

Having recently built a new home in rural Douglas County, I have gone through the process of checking zoning regulations, making applications for permits and witnessing the work of the construction inspectors. The zoning and codes office was always helpful in telling me what permits were required and who to contact to acquire the permits. The construction inspectors on my project were thorough and knowledgeable. They were not overly zealous. I understood that their work was for my benefit and for the benefit of the public good.

My question is: If Kobach got the same treatment from the inspectors as I did, why did the administration need to replace the construction inspectors with a rubberstamping supervisor? Was Kobach complaining? Was Kobach asking for different treatment?

In the interests of transparency, I support County Administrator Craig Weinaug’s recommendation that the county engage a third party to conduct an investigation.

Housing need

To the editor: I am shocked by what happened at Tuesday’s City Commission study session on affordable housing.

On May 7, more than — Andres Oppenheimer is a 1,700 people came to the Latin America correspondent for Lied Center to seek support the Miami Herald. for a housing trust fund, led by a strong and knowledgeable board, with a consistent funding stream to address the crippling gaps that leave our friends and neighbors with low incomes struggling to sustain what many of us take for granted.

Our community leaders established a housing trust fund in 2001 with $578,000 left over from a parks and recreation project. This allocation created 11 Tenants To Homeowners homes, helped Habitat for Humanity finish 16 homes and helped our Housing Authority add nine rental properties. According to figures presented Tuesday, just under $22,000 of that fund remained and has gained interest and is now worth $102,000. Acting City Manager Diane Stoddard steered the conversation to using $75,000 of the housing fund for a comprehensive housing study of Lawrence. Stoddard then mentioned developers three times, but never mentioned the home insecure, under-housed or homeless citizens in our community.

In pen stroke, pope may alter climate debate Rare teaching letter could have huge impact

Gregg Zoroya USA TODAY

Scientists weary after years of often vicious opposition by doubters of their climate-change findings see this year as crucial to the planet’s future because of a religious document expected from Pope Francis on Thursday.

The rare encyclical, or teaching letter, expected to promote climate action as a moral imperative could do more to slow global warming than international negotiations this year to limit greenhouse gas emissions, scientists say.

“The encyclical is going to go out to over 1 billion Catholics — that’s a way of getting a message across to a segment of society that the scientific community

could never do,” said an excited Jeff Kiehl with the National Center for Atmospheric Research. “I mean, it’s just unbelievable.”

“I’m not a religious person at all,” said Gavin Schmidt, a NASA climatologist. But he sees faithbased efforts to shift thinking on climate action as very promising.

“The pope’s encyclical is probably going to have a bigger impact than the Paris negotiations,” he said.

DES MOINES Hillary Clinton did not win the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008, but her campaign succeeded in ending any concerns about whether a woman could be commander in chief, she said Sunday.

“Part of what I tried to do in that campaign was to begin to answer that question,” she told The Des Moines Register. “Now I feel like the question’s been answered.”

In 2008, Clinton’s campaign downplayed the fact that she’d be DANIEL ACKER, the first woman BLOOMBERG in the White House. But in 2016 she’s making it a major selling point — that she’s running as a female candidate.

“There is an eagerness that I sense coming at me from people in my audiences, in my conversations, to engage with me about that more than I felt in ’08,” Clinton told the Register.

Clinton flew to Iowa on Saturday after her 2016 campaign’s official kickoff rally in New York.

On Sunday, she held her first public rally in Iowa, drawing more than 700 people.

Clinton defended the presidencies of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, said she’ll propose improvements to the Affordable Care Act, and expanded on her views about the proposed TransPacific Partnership trade pact.

Clinton said her gender is not the only reason to vote for her, but it is a factor. “I expect to be judged on my merits,” she said, “and the historic nature of my candidacy is one of the merits that I hope people take into account.”

She rejected the notions that her presidency would represent a third term of either her husband or of Obama. “I will have my own proposals,” she said.

She said she’ll have her own ideas for how to make college more affordable, how the country can become a clean energy super power and “so much more.”

Clinton said she will defend the health care law, but over the course of her campaign, she’ll propose fixes, such as “how to deal with the high cost of deductibles.” On trade she seemed to want to ensure stronger protections for American workers, but it was not clear how she would suggest Democrats handle a stalled trade vote.

From a comet, a long-distance call Philae stirs after 7-month hibernation Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

The comet lander Philae surprised scientists when it suddenly woke up and contacted Earth after a seven-month hibernation, the European Space Agency announced Sunday.

Scientists had lost contact with the solar-powered probe after it was dropped on the icy comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko by its mothership Rosetta on

Nov. 15. Philae’s battery ran out at about 60 hours after it landed next to a cliff that largely blocked sunlight from reaching the lander’s solar panels.

Scientists had hoped the probe would wake up as the comet approached the sun, enabling Philae’s solar panels to soak up enough light to charge the main battery. But there were fears its mission would be cut short.

Such fears ended late Saturday when the European Space Operations Center in Darmstadt, Germany, received signals from the lander.

“I’m not really surprised it happened, but if you wait for sev-

eral months and then suddenly in the middle of the night you get a call saying, ‘We have a signal from Philae,’ it’s exciting,” said Stephan Ulamec, project manager at the German Aerospace Center, or DLR. “We’re very happy.”

Ulamec said the probe appears to have been awake for several days before it called home because some of the information packets that the scientists received contained historical data.

A post on the Rosetta blog on the European Space Agency’s website said Philae “spoke” with its team on the ground via Rosetta for 85 seconds in its first contact since November.

This artist’s impression released by the European Space Agency shows the Rosetta lander Philae on the surface of comet 67P/ ChuryumovGerasimenko.

MEDIALIAB, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

The post said during analysis of the status data, it became clear that Philae must have been awake before, and scientists are waiting for it to make contact again.

Perfect Science reported Sunday that Philae is about 190 million miles from the Earth and around 135 million miles from the sun.

VOICES

Texas abortion law may land in high court Rick Jervis @MrRJervis USA TODAY

Judges at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit dealt abortion clinics in Texas a blow last week when they upheld the bulk of a state law mandating strict requirements on clinics.

The ruling, if upheld, could shrink the number of Texas abortion clinics from 18 currently in operation to just seven in the country’s second-largest state. That’s down from 41 before the law passed two years ago.

But for abortion rights activists, the ruling may have a silver lining.

Attorneys for the Center for Reproductive Rights on Wednesday filed a motion to stay the ruling and vowed to take the case to the U.S. Supreme Court. They argue that Texas’ restrictions are aimed at shutting down clinics, not fostering the welfare of women. Texas lawmakers and officials have maintained the law was created to improve safety standards on abortion procedures.

A Supreme Court hearing could lead to one of the most sweeping national rulings on abortion since Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark decision legalizing abortion, and could roll back similar laws in states across the USA, says Stephanie Toti, an attorney with the center.

“If the Supreme Court upholds this law to be unconstitutional in Texas,” she says, “it will AUSTIN

Anti-abortion protesters pass the Supreme Court in the annual March for Life on Jan. 22. A court ruling, if upheld, could shrink the number of Texas abortion clinics. be unconstitutional in every other state as well.”

That’s a big if.

But the potential is certainly there. More than 30 states currently have laws similar to Texas’, including rules requiring abortion doctors to obtain admitting privileges at nearby hospitals and for clinics to meet ambulatory surgical centers standards, says Elizabeth Nash of the Guttmacher Institute, a Washington-based group that advocates for reproductive rights.

Starting as far back as the

“If the Supreme Court upholds this law to be unconstitutional in Texas, it will be unconstitutional in every other state as well.”

Stephanie Toti, Center for Reproductive Rights

mid-1970s, states began enacting laws that have slowly gnawed at Roe v. Wade, Nash says. Then in 2011, states filed a flurry of laws focused on requiring abortion clinics to meet the same standards as ambulatory surgical centers or outpatient surgery centers. To date, 24 states, including Texas, have passed such laws.

I began covering the Texas law in 2012, watching it grow from debates in the Texas Legislature to state Sen. Wendy Davis’ famous red-shoe, 11-hour filibuster to try to block the bill to then-

Gov. Rick Perry’s signing it into law and the ensuing closing of clinics.

I spoke to plenty of people around Texas who favored the law, who felt the state had a moral obligation to restrict abortions. In a 2013 University of Texas/Texas Tribune poll, 38% of those polled said laws restricting abortion should be stricter, while 26% said they should be less strict, and 21% said they should be left as they are.

“Our goal is that no woman will choose to seek abortions,” says Joe Pojman, executive director of Texas Alliance for Life, who helped draft the current law. “We realize that vision is not going to be reality in the foreseeable future. In the meantime, we want to ensure women have all the information they have to make an informed decision.”

That effort began in 2011 with a state law that requires a doctor to perform a sonogram on a woman before performing an abortion and culminated with the 2013 law – known as “HB2” – that requires abortion clinics to have, among other things, ambulatory surgical centers and doctors with admitting privileges at nearby hospitals.

Abortion opponents like Pojman say the law is designed to ensure women get medically safe abortions. Its critics argue the law is a thinly veiled attempt to shut down clinics that can’t afford the upgrades and tramples women’s constitutional rights.

Soon, they may have the opinion of the highest court in the country to clear things up.

Pope could turn the tide on climate debate story continues on u

is set for December in Paris with more than 190 countries, hopes to reach agreement on emissions that would keep further warming of the planet less than 2 degrees Celsius, or 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit, beyond global temperature at the time of the Industrial Revolution.

Catholic leaders expressed hope last week that the encyclical will transcend partisan fighting over the causes of climate change, arguments that have stymied efforts in the U.S. Congress and elsewhere to reduce greenhouse emissions.

“This encyclical is aimed at everyone,” Pope Francis said Sunday. “Let us pray that everyone can receive its message and grow in responsibility toward the common home that God has entrusted to us.”

He said Friday that to show unity of purpose, the document will be unveiled by three people: a Catholic cardinal, a Christian Orthodox church leader and a climate scientist the Vatican identified as an atheist.

The pope, who has a master’s degree in chemistry and a history

of environmental concern, said in January that science is largely settled on the causes of climate change and that greater stewardship of God’s creation is necessary.

“Mostly, in great part, it is man who has slapped nature in the face,” he said.

There has already been push back from conservative Catholic religious writers and figures such as Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum, who is Catholic, accusing the pope of being alarmist.

“The church has gotten it wrong a few times on science, and I think that we probably are better off leaving science to the scientists,” Santorum recently told a radio-talk show host.

“When we get involved with political and controversial scientific theories, then I think the church is probably not as forceful and credible.”

Scientists, however, applaud the pope for urging moral choices in a discussion dominated by the recitation — or among deniers, the misrepresentation — of facts.

“Many people have this rosy view that there’s this knowledge deficit, and that if we just provid-

ed more information or if we explain the science better or if we package it better, maybe with colored graphics, or write another scientific paper, that will be the one to convince (doubters),” said climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe of Texas Tech University.

“But the reality is it’s not a scientific issue (any longer). It is an ideological issue. We have to appeal to people based on values.

Not just on data and facts. And for me as a scientist to say that is very unusual,” Hayhoe said. “So from that perspective the pope is

a very effective messenger.”

A website created by Australian science communicator Joe Duggan called “Is this how you feel?” contains dozens of letters from climate scientists angry or stunned by a lack of forceful action by policymakers.

“I feel like nobody’s listening,” Australian research fellow Helen McGregor wrote last fall.

“There is so much noise around the issue that I often feel compelled to be outraged by our own inability as a species to respond,” scientist Carlo Buontem-

IN BRIEF WOMAN WHO PULLED SON INTO BRAWL CHARGED

One of the women involved in the Beech Grove Walmart brawl that was caught on video is now facing charges: Not for assault, but for engaging her 6-year-old son in the bout.

Amber Stephenson, 34, of Indianapolis, was charged Friday with neglect of a dependent and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

According to a probable cause affidavit obtained by The Indianapolis Star, Stephenson allegedly instigated the fight at the Beech Grove Walmart on the night of June 4. Court documents state that Beech Grove police were dispatched to the store at 10:32 p.m. local time on a report of a fight between two women.

What had begun as verbal shots traded between Stephenson and fellow shopper Rebecca Mills intensified into a fistfight and wrestling match in the aisle.

But Stephenson’s not in hot water for the blows she delivered to Mills. It’s for allegedly ordering her son to “punch (Mills) in her face ... punch her in her (expletive) face,” according to the

po wrote, “But the truth is that more often than not I just feel tired.”

The vast majority say they remain optimistic. Last year, a consortium of North American universities created a speakers network for climate change discussion and more than 370 scientists have since signed up to give talks at libraries, chambers of commerce, schools, colleges and community clubs.

But change still seems too slow, many say.

“As a scientist, I can say that it is possible for us to prevent truly catastrophic, potentially irreversible climate change. But I cannot say as a scientist whether or not we will find the will to do what’s necessary,” said Michael Mann, a leading climate scientist at Penn State University who published a book on the role of science deniers in subverting global warming discussions.

Mann said only strong public outcry can force policy changes, and this is where the encyclical is crucial.

“There are a lot of people out there who thus far have been either skeptical or indifferent,” Mann said. “I think this (encyclical) will make a difference for them.”

The officer’s words — released Saturday in a 224-page report from Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty — mark the first time Loehmann’s account of the shooting was revealed.

The report also notes that Loehmann and his partner each refused to be interviewed by sheriff’s investigators.

The report, however, notes the observations of fellow officers, many of whom said Loehmann appeared distraught after the shooting when police learned that Tamir was much younger than first thought and that his gun was actually a BB gun.

McGinty said he chose to release the report after showing the documents on Friday to the Rice family. He issued a statement saying the release was in the interest of transparency.

The evidence has yet to be presented by prosecutors to a grand jury for consideration of an indictment against Loehmann or his partner.

Dallas attack suspect ‘got nothing left’ Son was past his ‘breaking point,’ emotional dad says

The unemployed mechanic who was fatally shot after attacking Dallas police headquarters had been pushed past his “breaking point” by police and others, his father says.

James Boulware rolled up to the headquarters building in an armored van Saturday, strafing the building with automatic weapons fire, shattering glass and sending officers scrambling for cover, police said. Boulware also rammed a police car and planted

pipe bombs packed with shrapnel before racing from the scene.

A 10-mile chase ended with a brief cellphone negotiation with police. When talks broke down, a police sniper fatally shot Boulware through the van’s windshield. No one else was injured.

Boulware’s father, Jim, told WFAA-TV that his son visited Friday and even mowed his lawn.

Jim Boulware, father of the attack suspect

But Jim Boulware said his son had a troubled relationship with some family members and resented law enforcement after losing custody of his son.

“He said, ‘I’ve got nothing left,’ ” an emotional Jim Boulware said. “ ‘I’ve lost everything I have and I got nothing left. And they’ve taken my son.’ ” He said his son’s life began to unravel two years ago after he was arrested for a domestic dis-

pute with his mother and uncle.

According to an arrest affidavit, James choked them both during an argument.

James Boulware was also accused of stockpiling weapons and making threats against schools and churches in Paris, Texas. The charges were dropped, but his father said he lost his job as a mechanic and lost custody of his son, now in the sixth grade. “And he did blame the police for taking his son,” the suspect’s father said.

Unable to find work, Jim Boulware said while his son became increasingly depressed, he never suspected he was planning revenge. “I had no idea,” the elder Boulware said.

James Boulware’s mother, Jeannine Hammond, said she was relieved that no one else was hurt. “I think he went in knowing he wouldn’t come out,” Ham-

mond told WFAA-TV. Jim Boulware says he knows why his son is gone: “We all have a breaking point, and they pushed him past it.”

The dark blue van Boulware used in the attack was sold just days ago and eerily lived up to how it was advertised on Facebook, as a “Zombie apocalypse assault vehicle” with “gun ports” capable of “drive-by mow-downs” and full armor and bulletproof windows. The Ford van was sold on eBay for $8,250.

The van held up in what Dallas police Chief David Brown described as the “helter skelter” shootout at police headquarters, but he noted the vehicle was not invincible. “Our SWAT snipers shot out the engine block ... with our .50-caliber sniper rifle,” he said. The van was stopped and later set ablaze.

12 killed, wild animals on loose after flood ravages Georgian zoo Jane Onyanga-Omara USA TODAY

At least 12 people died after flooding destroyed enclosures at the zoo in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi, leaving animals including lions and tigers roaming the city, officials said Sunday.

Some of the animals that escaped, which also include bears and wolves, were captured or killed, and the search for those still on the loose continued Sunday, the news agency Civil.ge. reported.

Heavy rainfall started late Saturday and turned the Vere, normally a small stream, into a “raging river,” the news agency said.

Three zoo workers were among the dead, the Associated

Press reported. There were no immediate reports that any of the fatalities were due to animal attacks.

Tbilisi residents were warned to stay indoors.

“Not all the animals who ran away from the zoo have been captured. Therefore, I want to ask the populace to refrain from moving about the city without” an urgent need to, Mayor David Narmania said.

An escaped hippopotamus was cornered in one of the city’s main squares and subdued with a tranquilizer gun.

Irakli Garibashvili, prime minister of the former Soviet republic, said the damage caused by the flooding is substantial and called for people to remain at home as search for the animals continued, Civil.ge. reported.

“The basis of the Magna Carta is a bastion against tyranny and against over-mighty government.”

LONDON Eight centuries ago this Monday, a peace treaty came into being that would become a pillar of English law and the basis of constitutional democracies in the United States and around the world hundreds of years later.

Rebel barons made King John of England seal the Magna Carta — the Great Charter — on June 15, 1215, in a bid to limit the power of the monarch, whom they viewed as cruel and greedy.

The document set out the principle that everybody was subject to the law, even the king, for the first time on written record.

Some of its key principles influenced the U.S. Bill of Rights, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other legal systems.

On Monday, Queen Elizabeth II, her husband Prince Phil-

prison June 5 or 6. The search is now primarily focused on Plattsburgh, just a few miles east of the prison in Dannemora, and authorities have warned residents to stay in their homes while officers combed the area for clues.

And that’s just fine with most residents, Plattsburgh Mayor James Calnon said.

“People are really grateful that there are 800 people out there doing their job and protecting all of us,” Calnon told USA TODAY. Prison employee Joyce Mitchell, 51, faces a court appearance Monday on charges that she aided the escape and for promoting dangerous prison contraband, a felony, and criminal facilitation, a misdemeanor. She is at the Clinton County Jail with a $100,000 cash bail.

ip, Prince William and other dignitaries will mark the anniversary in Runnymede in the county of Surrey, near London, where King John sealed the charter. A statue of the queen was unveiled near the site Sunday, and the royal barge Gloriana was leading 200 boats along the River Thames to Runnymede over the weekend.

“Magna Carta was a milestone in world history, and its birthplace at Runnymede deserves a lasting legacy,” said the Surrey County Council, one of the organizers of the ceremony.

The four known surviving copies of the charter are kept at the cathedrals of the cities of Lincoln in northeast England and Salisbury in the south, and two are held in the British Library.

So how has a document that began almost a millennium ago become such a profound part of life as we know it today?

Historians say the Magna Carta is even more revered in the United States than it is in England. “The basis of the Magna Carta is a bastion against tyranny and against over-mighty government,” Derek Taylor, author of the book Magna Carta in 20 Places, told USA TODAY. He said the charter’s importance in the U.S. “can’t be under-estimated.”

More than 1,000 celebrations are taking place in the 53 commonwealth countries this month to honor the charter, said Sir Robert Worcester, chairman of the Magna Carta 800th Anniversary Commemoration Committee. “It’s England’s greatest export,” he said.

SOUTH CAROLINA Clemson:

OSSINING Last week’s escape from the Clinton Correctional Facility by two murderers who cut through cell walls and crawled out of a manhole has invited comparisons to Frank Darabont’s The Shawshank Redemption — but Ossining’s notorious Sing Sing Correctional Facility provides plenty of examples of real-life breakouts rivaling anything Hollywood can dream up.

Since opening in 1826, the prison “up the river” from New York City has seen dozens of escapes and escape attempts, using a variety of sometimes ingenious methods. Some escapees left dummies in their cells, others disguised themselves in guard uniforms to try to slip out, and one man even sewed himself inside a mattress that was being removed from the prison.

Willie “the Actor” Sutton, who famously robbed banks “because that’s where the money is,” broke out of jail five times in his career. His first escape, in 1932, was from Sing Sing, when he used a makeshift wire ladder to scale an unmanned wall.

COURTESY OF IMAGES OF AMERICA: SING SING PRISON BY ARCADIAPUBLISHING

A dummy bearing the likeness of escapee George Petersen was discovered at Sing Sing during a head count in 1926.

Capt. Scott Craven said. “It’s been in a lot of movies and it’s got that unusual name.”

Still, he said, there’s nothing romantic about prison escapes, noting that in 1940 three Sing Sing inmates shot and killed guard John Hartye as they escaped and, once outside, killed Ossining police officer James Fagan. One of the trio was killed in a shootout; the other two were captured after seven hours on the lam.

Sing Sing’s history of escape attempts might be explained by a former inmate who used the alias “Number 1500” in authoring Life in Sing Sing in 1904. He described it as “perhaps the most insecure prison, structurally, that was ever built,” citing the proximity to the Hudson River and the location along the railroad tracks connecting to New York City as easy avenues for fleeing the area.

rehistoric doesn’t mean extinct — as Jurassic World moviegoers are learning now. The same goes for the oldest companies — which still have plenty of bite.

And just as the summer blockbuster lived up to its name, pulling in a nearMatt Krantz record $204.6 million in its opening USA TODAY weekend and reviving what in Hollywood seemed like a prehistoric franchise, these companies just keep pounding away.

The five oldest stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500, including cigarette maker Lorillard, insurer Cigna and JPMorgan Chase, are far from extinct and most are thriving, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Capital IQ. Four of these five oldest stocks, which all trace their roots to the 1700s, are beating the market, and as a group they’re, well, roaring.

A custom, equal-weighted index of the five oldest stocks in the S&P 500 is up 23% over the past year — which tears up the S&P 500’s 8.5% gain during the same time. Who says you can’t teach old dinosaurs new tricks?

The best-performing Jurassic stock is insurer Cigna, which traces its history back to 1792 — when George Washington was still president. Shares of the insurer are up an impressive 52% over the past year — as the company’s diluted earnings per share have risen 15%. Cigna’s predecessor firm links back to to INA Corp., which was the holding company of Insurance Company of North America. INA combined with Connecticut General Life Insurance Co. in 1982 to form Cigna.

The oldest fossil in the S&P 500 is Lorillard, which has been a stellar performer, too. The company, founded in 1760 by Pierre Abraham Lorillard, has seen its shares jump 18.3% over the past year. But this company’s position as the oldest in the S&P 500 will soon be a relic of history. The company is being bought by rival

Reynolds American in a deal that was approved by the Federal Trade Commission about a month ago. When that deal goes through, that will leave Bank of New York Mellon as the oldest S&P 500 company — founded in 1784.

Not all ancient stocks have fared so well. Molson Coors Brewing — which dates back to 1786 thanks to Molson’s long history — has seen its shares inch up just 0.9% over the past year. It’s the only firm in the list to lag the market.

Make no mistake, not many companies this ancient can remain relevant this long. These are the only five companies founded in the 1700s that are still in the S&P 500. The average founding date of S&P 500 companies is 1939. Most of the S&P 500 companies, 349, were founded in the 1900s. Founding dates were not available for 22 companies in the S&P 500.

But if investors learned anything — it’s that you should never rule out companies just because they’re old.

10-YEAR TREASURY NOTE’S YIELD RISING The government bond market, normally viewed as a haven, has turned volatile and the yield on the 10-year Treasury hit a 2015 high this week before retreating.

1.8%

Tailgaters beware

The bond market used to be considered a safe place, a haven for folks looking to avoid Wall Street’s dark side. Not anymore.

Government bonds have turned wildly volatile. They’re selling off — with yields this past week hitting their highest levels since September 2014 — amid signs of an improving global economy and fears of a coming rate hike from the Federal Reserve, which makes the perceived safety of bonds less appealing.

Rising rates change the investment equation for all assets. Rising bond yields means falling prices and a loss of principal for bondholders. It could also impede the stock market’s advance, as cheap money has been a key driver of the bull run. Rising yields also mean mortgages will be more expensive.

Bond pain is on the rise, despite a reprieve Thursday and Friday when yields dipped by more than a tenth of a percentage point from nine-month highs on fresh Greece default fears.

The 10-year Treasury note yield briefly touched 2.5%, nearly a full percentage point above its Jan. 30, 2015, low of 1.65%. The yield on the 10-year German bund, which nearly turned negative in April, spiked above 1%.

So can investors lose money in bonds? Yes. During the Fed’s ratetightening cycle from February 1994 to February 1995, the price of the 10-year Treasury note fell 13.7%, and investors suffered a total return loss of 7.4%, says Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

“Today’s low yields have increased the risk, as there is little income to offset declining prices,” says Bill Hornbarger, chief investment strategist at Moneta Group.

Stocks may fair better than pundits say. BofA Merrill Lynch data from the Fed’s previous six rate-hike cycles dating back to 1987 show that U.S. stocks posted average gains of 16.1% during the entire rate-hiking cycle.

Starting today, drivers around the world could be directed by a familiar Austrian-accented voice telling them, “I’m a Terminator Cyberdyne Systems Model 101, and you’re coming with me.”

It’s Arnold Schwarzenegger, the actor and former California governor, who is lending his persona as the famed Terminator from the movie franchise to the community-based traffic and navigation app Waze.

Snagging a star like Schwarzenegger, even if he’s using the Waze gig to promote his next movie, Terminator Genisys, has become a popular method for navigation apps to try to stand

PARAMOUNT

On the app, Arnold Schwarzenegger gives directions and ends with, “Hasta la vista, baby.” out from each other. To land Schwarzenegger, Waze — a free app that earns revenue from advertising — formed a partnership with Paramount Studios that could give it a leg up in the battle

against competitors like Google Maps and Navigon. Waze has skyrocketed from 15 million users in 2012 to its current 50 million.

To Schwarzenegger, being the voice of a phone navigation app is

tinged with irony. “In 1984, when we did (the first) Terminator, we talked about the world being run by machines. It was science fiction then,” he tells USA TODAY. “Now you have machines telling you where to drive.”

Schwarzenegger required a one-hour recording session to provide the automated prompts for Waze — everything from routine commands such as “turn left” to Ah-nuld-isms such as “Hasta la vista, baby” at the end of the journey. The Terminator feature will last through mid-July.

“It is an added entertainment.

Where I come in, I’m bringing the Arnold twist,” says Schwarzenegger, 67. “Even in the recording studio, people were laughing at every single line when I put the Arnold spin on it.”

When conference calls go goofy

Spotty reception forces travelers to get creative Charisse Jones USA TODAY

Sometimes duty calls in the most unexpected places.

Like when Luann Purcell had to lie down on the floor, next to a sliding glass door, at a hotel in St. Thomas to participate in a conference call.

“I needed to be on the patio for my cell connection, but the noise was too great from the beach (and) pool activity,” says Purcell, executive director of a non-profit education association, who is a member of USA TODAY’s Road Warriors panel.

“So I had to keep the door shut, but I had to be as close as I could get. The only way to hold the connection was to lay on my stomach with the phone next to the glass and the laptop on the floor in front of me.”

A query of USA TODAY’s panel of frequent travelers found many instances of employees having to improvise or make the best of a tough situation to connect on a conference call.

Road Warrior Sharon Rohrbach, a registered nurse who lives in St. Louis, once had to get particularly creative to take part in a meeting via telephone, “standing in a bathtub, leaning into a window to get a phone signal in a New York City hotel room.”

The bathroom seems to be a

particularly popular spot to converse with colleagues. MobileDay, a company that enables virtual meetings from any platform or location, found in a survey of 2,068 business trekkers that the bathroom came in No. 1 when respondents were asked for the craziest place they’d taken a conference call.

The beach was also a top contender. Other impromptu spots to get a mention included underneath a sink while trying to repair a faucet, conferencing while swimming with dolphins in the Bahamas, and connecting with

colleagues while tending to a sick goat in the family barn.

Sometimes the place isn’t weird, but the circumstances are particularly difficult.

Michael Altneu, a vice president of global sourcing for home improvement products who lives in Scottsdale, Ariz., remembers trying to listen into a call while traveling in China.

Don’t believe the hype over summer air travel Top myths debunked as you head on vacation Christopher Elliott Special for USA TODAY

If you’re flying somewhere this summer, you’ll spend a lot more money on a direct flight instead of one with a connection.

Also, you’ll always save money by booking early and should avoid big hub airports such as JFK. But here’s a little good news: You won’t have to worry about weather delays as much as you do during the winter.

That’s all untrue. Every. Last.

Word.

Now that the busy summer travel season is in full swing, maybe it’s time to confront these air travel myths head-on, before you make plans based on misinformation.

Here are the top summer air travel myths debunked: ON TRAVEL EVERY MONDAY

A DIRECT FLIGHT COSTS MORE THAN A CONNECTING FLIGHT.

In fact, in a study of more than 57 million tickets sold last year, the Airlines Reporting Corp.

(ARC) found there was an insignificant fare difference between a direct/non-stop and connecting flight. On average, a connecting ticket was only $1.03 less expensive than a direct ticket. The findings affect summer travelers the most, because they tend to be less experienced and more price-sensitive. How do you lower your ticket price? ARC found that buying your ticket in advance and including a Saturday night stayover could save you a lot more money.

BOOK EARLY AND SAVE.

Not necessarily true. Summer flights can sell out fast, which is the biggest reason to buy early.

But sometimes fare sales happen on routes that aren’t selling quickly enough, sending fares plummeting lower than the typical two-week advance-purchase price, experts say. “Airlines will run last-minute specials,” says Brent Jenson, a travel specialist at the Salt Lake City-based Morris Murdock Travel. “Many travelers think that if they book a flight early, they will get a cheaper ticket, but that’s not always the case.” Oh, and don’t look now, but

EVEN MORE AIR TRAVEL MYTHS uAll flights will be crowded. “It depends on where you fly,” says Jessica Coane, founder of an online loyalty program marketplace called PEX+. “If you fly to Orlando when school is out, you’re likely to have a bunch of families traveling to Disney World. If you’re traveling to Anchorage, not so much.” uIt doesn’t matter when you travel — expect chaos.

Not if you fly during the week.

Everyone else wants to arrive on a weekend and return Friday, but Jaimee Ratliff, a travel blogger, says you can find a pocket of sanity Tuesday or Wednesday — even during the summer. “Don’t travel when most people do,” Ratliff advises. uThe deeper into summer, the less chance of a bargain. Untrue. This year, Labor Day offers the cheapest flights compared with other summer holidays, according to the Adobe report. Whoever said procrastination doesn’t pay?

fares are actually down 4% from the same period last year, according to a recent Adobe Travel Report.

YOU SHOULD AVOID LARGE HUBS SUCH AS JFK, LAX AND O’HARE.

Yes, those are busy airports, but no, you don’t want to avoid them, says Ron DiLeo, the chief commercial officer of Altour, a travel management company. “That would be nuts,” he says. “I would actually steer toward those markets, not away from them.” The reason? Because they’re so big, there’s lots of competition at those airports, so your odds of getting a good deal actually rise when you include them in your fare search.

This is a popular misinterpretation of an otherwise solid piece of advice, which is to include alternate airports in your search criteria.

For example, if you’re flying to Los Angeles, check the box that lets you search nearby airports such as Burbank, Long Beach and Ontario. You may have a better travel experience by using these alternate airports — but please, don’t avoid the big ones.

Can you hear me now? Many travelers take conference calls in bathrooms, according to a survey by MobileDay.

“In the room next to me, a couple were enjoying themselves very loudly.”

Derek Visocky of Denver

ers in Mandarin,” he recalls. It was, to say the least, “very crazy.”

Derek Visocky, a software solutions specialist who lives in Denver, once had to deal with a different kind of noisy environment when calling in to confer with co-workers.

“The place wasn’t crazy, but the situation was,” he says. “I was in a nice hotel in San Francisco, and I had to take a late call. My mobile did not have service, and I had to use the hotel room phone.

In the room next to me, a couple were enjoying themselves very loudly.

“It was the most distracting call I’ve ever been on.”

Like many business travelers, Karin Thrift, a sales director who lives in Arlington, Texas, has found that a chair and a quiet room can sometimes be hard to find while on the road.

“Several times I’ve participated in conference calls while at a trade show,” she says. “I usually try to find a quiet corner in a hallway outside of the main venue, sit down on the floor and make the call.’

When you’re rushing to a flight, you have to make your way to the airport and attend to business at the same time.

Peter Behuniak took a call while in the Sierra Nevada, driving along Route 50 from Lake Tahoe to the Sacramento Airport.

“The reception faded every time I reached another valley or curve,” remembers Behuniak, the president of a consulting company based in Glastonbury, Conn., but “I couldn’t stop, or I would miss my plane.”

ASK THE CAPTAIN

YOU’RE GOING TO SPEND MORE TO FLY THIS SUMMER.

Summer travelers actually plan to spend less than they did last summer, a new survey by Fatwallet suggests. Forty-two percent of those surveyed said they plan to spend more than $1,500 this summer — down from 46% in 2014. More than seven in 10 travelers said they would turn to the Internet for special offers and travel deals, or use miles, points or cash-back offers to lower booking prices. That means either airfares will have to come down to meet demand, or a lot of Americans plan to drive to their vacation destinations. This is the “new” normal many in the airline industry feared would happen: that even after a long recession, air travelers would continue their penny-pinching ways. It also may explain the creative fees being developed by airlines in an effort to squeeze a little more ancillary revenue from us.

WEATHER ISN’T AS MUCH OF A PROBLEM DURING THE SUMMER.

Considering all the headlines about winter weather, it would be easy to conclude that summertime is smooth sailing when it comes to air travel. Not so, the pros say. “With severe thunderstorms and tropical storms everpresent in the forecast, summer travelers tend to see the most flight delays and cancellations,” says Mike Kelly, the chief executive of On Call International, a Salem, N.H., travel risk management company. “Adding on to that misconception, most consumers believe that their airline will put them up in a hotel and cover all costs in the event of a delay or cancellation, and this generally is not the case.” Actually, that’s putting it politely. Every airline’s contract of carriage, the legal agreement between you and the carrier, stipulates that if a flight is canceled because of weather, the airline owes you no compensation.

These are by no means the only summer air travel misconceptions, but they’re the biggies.

For those of you who work in the travel industry and already know this, here’s my recommendation: Instead of leaving angry comments about how everyone should know this, share the knowledge. If you do, it’ll be a great summer to fly.

Pilots use the FAA-approved Minimum Equipment List (MEL), which allows them to deactivate certain warning systems.

Some warning lights can be safely shut off John Cox

Special for USA TODAY

Q: I was on a flight where we aborted takeoff due to “an indicator light going off.” Fifteen minutes later, we were in the air. What could cause this?

— Submitted by reader Eric, Bellingham, Wash.

A: Not knowing the type of airplane, it is hard to identify a specific cause. However, just as in an automobile, warning lights occasionally illuminate when there is no actual fault.

If maintenance tests the system and finds that it operates normally, then the warning system may be deactivated using the Minimum Equipment List (MEL).

This is an FAA-approved list of items that may be inoperative, plus the requirements to fly with inoperative components. Additionally, the MEL lists the maximum time that the component may be inoperative.

It is possible that the illumination of the warning light was found to be acceptable for flight using the MEL. Q: On a recent flight from Boston to Philadelphia, we were No. 1 for takeoff. The pilot came on just as we were turning onto the runway to say they had a hydraulic warning light indicating a failure. What would be the procedure if this warning light came on seconds later during the takeoff roll or seconds after takeoff ?

— Jeff, Boston

A: The pilots would refer to the quick reference handbook or electronic checklist to deal with the abnormality.

GOOD DAY BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH The actor and his wife have welcomed their first child. “Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter are delighted to announce the arrival of their beautiful son,” the actor’s rep, Karon Maskill, told USA TODAY Saturday. “We would kindly ask everyone to respect the family’s privacy during these next few precious weeks.” The couple announced in January that they were expecting and tied the knot on Valentine’s Day.

GOOD DAY DEMI LOVATO The pop singer leads the cast of the new animated movie ‘Get Smurfy,’ announced Sunday by Sony Pictures Animation. Lovato has been tapped to voice Smurfette — the only female among dozens of male Smurfs — in the adventure, which finds the little blue folks created by Belgian artist Peyo Culliford searching for a fabled Smurf village in the Enchanted Forest. Rainn Wilson is cast as the Smurfs’ main foe, the evil wizard Gargamel, and Mandy Patinkin stars as wise old Papa Smurf. The film is set for release March 31, 2017.

“Very appreciative of the BHPD & Cedars for their care.”

CAUGHT IN THE ACT With little sister Princess Charlotte nowhere in sight, Prince George was the center of attention Sunday with grandpa Prince Charles, dad Prince William and mom Duchess Kate at Beaufort Polo Club in Tetbury, England.

This year at the Emmys, the watchword is “more.”

As you and your DVR have no doubt noticed, more outlets are producing ever more shows, leading the Emmys to expand its best-series categories from six nominees to seven.

And to stop networks from gaming the system, as they did last year (yes, you, HBO and Netflix), there are also new rules designed to clarify what counts as a series and what counts as a drama or a comedy.

So now, to be nominated as a series, a show must have an “ongoing storyline, theme and main characters presented under the same title” — which presumably would have pushed HBO’s True Detective out of the category last year and pushed PBS’ Sherlock into it.

And if you want to count as a comedy, as Netflix’s Orange Is the New Black did last year, you have to come in on time: Shows that run 30 minutes or less are presumed to be comedies; those that

last longer are presumed dramas.

Here’s where the “presumed” comes in: Producers can ask to have their shows switch categories. When CW’s Jane the Virgin asked to be counted as a comedy, the answer (appropriately) was yes. For Orange, it was an equally appropriate no.

That, of course, leaves voters with one more, very important question: Which shows should they put into those categories?

With the ballots out today, here are some suggestions.

On the drama side, there are six essentials: CBS’ The Good Wife, Showtime’s Masters of Sex, FX’s The Americans, HBO’s Game of Thrones (more for its epic showmanship than for its storytelling) and, for the last time, AMC’s Mad Men and FX’s Justified.

For the final slot, let’s go with Fox’s Empire, if for no other rea-

son than its sheer, zeitgeist-moving moxie, while recognizing that a strong case also can be made for Orange, AMC’s Better Call Saul, ABC’s How to Get Away With Murder and PBS’ Downton Abbey.

Comedies face a similar abundance of riches. ABC’s five-time winner Modern Family may not be able to stretch its streak to six — not against such almost-certain nominees as HBO’s Veep, FX’s Louie and Amazon’s Transparent — but it certainly deserves a nomination. To that quartet, add CBS’ The Big Bang Theory, HBO’s Silicon Valley and CW’s Jane. And yes, that does mean leaving off such worthy contenders as Amazon’s Mozart in the Jungle, ABC’s Black-ish and The Middle and one of Hollywood’s apparent favorites, Netflix’s Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

Hey, even in a year when you get more, there’s never enough.

Its $204.6 million is the second-best opening ever Brian Truitt @briantruitt USA TODAY

Jurassic World isn’t just prehistoric, it’s historic: Dinosaurs are stomping all over the box office like it’s 1993 again.

The latest installment in the Jurassic Park franchise chomped down on the competition in epic fashion. According to studio estimates from Rentrak, the opening weekend haul of $204.6 million is the biggest of 2015 and the second-best ever behind 2012’s The Avengers ($207.4 million).

Last week, the blockbuster was tracking at a high end of $150 million, so this may be the biggest overperformer in box office history, says Paul Dergarabedian, sen-

Chalk up a first, too, for Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard and Jurassic World: a worldwide debut of more than $500 million. ior media analyst for Rentrak.

“There are just some movies that have a life of their own and take off in a way that is somewhat unprecedented,” he says. “Nobody saw this coming.”

It was even bigger overseas as the worldwide numbers took it to $511.8 million — the first time a

film has crossed that $500 million mark in its debut.

Nostalgia played into Jurassic World’s huge opening — as well as Chris Pratt’s trajectory as an action-hero leading man — but what helped especially was the film having a weekend mainly to itself, says Jeff Bock, senior box

office analyst for Exhibitor Relations. “You get the right film at the right place with no competition, and this kind of number is possible.”

Dergarabedian sees a lot of big movies on the way: Inside Out, Ted 2, Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation and Ant-Man. But “I don’t see anything on the horizon that would even come close.”

Melissa McCarthy’s comedy Spy was No. 2 in its second weekend with $16 million and is closing in on $60 million total.

Disaster movie San Andreas was third with $11 million, horror film Insidious: Chapter 3 was fourth with $7.3 million, and Pitch Perfect 2 rounded out the top five with $6 million.

In limited release, Sundance Film Festival favorite Me and Earl and the Dying Girl opened to $210,000 in 15 theaters, averaging $14,000 per screen. The teen cancer dramedy expands nationwide in the weeks ahead.

Final figures are out Monday.

KANSAS (AND SMU!) BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

KU has depth only at DE It’s time to take a position-by-position look at how the Kansas University football roster shapes up, fitting each player into one of six offensive positions and five defensive ones and then ranking the positions.

1. Defensive ends: An argument could be made that the reserves here are better than the starters at any other position on the defense. Damani Mosby and Anthony Olobia, a pair of long, 239-pound juco transfers who red-shirted last season, impressed coaches during the spring with their ability to get off the line of scrimmage and make things happen. T.J. Semke and Ben Goodman are two of the toughest players on the roster. The most talented recruit in the class, Dorance Armstrong, also has a shot to play right away.

2. Tight ends: Thirdyear sophomore Ben Johnson has the edge here on Florida transfer Kent Taylor because he’s a better blocker. Taylor tried to put on weight at Florida and since arriving at Kansas, but has had trouble bulking up.

Johnson caught 10 passes for 80 yards last season as Jimmay Mundine’s backup.

3. Safeties: Bazie Bates has worked hard to add muscle in order to make his explosive hits hurt even more. The juco transfer brings speed, a nose for the ball and polished coverage skills from his days as a cornerback. Greg Allen will be given every opportunity to show he’s a worthy starter.

Fish Smithson, an instinctive player with brains and toughness, played well in reserve last season. Converted quarterback Denzel Feaster, a true freshman from Texas, has good longrange potential.

4. Defensive tackles: Depth in terms of size and experience are problems here beyond returning starter Andrew Bolton, a strong, explosive senior with quick feet for a D-tackle. Senior Kapil Fletcher gets the most out of his 271-pound frame, and juco transfer Jacky Dezir plays with passion.

5. Running backs: Corey Avery led the team in rushing last season as a freshman, but he was run from the team for violating team rules. His sticky fingers made him a threat to catch passes out of the backfield as well.

Great medical strides in terms of concussion detection make it essential to increase depth at a position where concussions are common. Kansas appears to have come up short in that regard. Talented, driven De’Andre Mann was limited by concussions a year ago, and a close eye will be kept on his condition before anybody clears him to resume his career.

Taylor Cox’s recovery from an Achilles injury was not complete by the completion of spring football.

KU pick-up ‘honor’ for SMU’s Moore

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University coach/ Basketball Boogie emcee/comedian Bill Self on Saturday roasted a current KU player and one the Jayhawks have borrowed from SMU for the 2015 World University Games.

“Frank wanted us to make sure to take Nic so he wasn’t the shortest guy on the team,” Self deadpanned in introducing SMU senior Nic Moore to several hundred patrons who attended Saturday night’s Assists Foundation fundraiser at Abe and Jake’s Landing.

Frank Mason III is indeed KU’s shortest player at 5-foot-11, 185-pounds, while Moore stands 5-9, 170. All joking aside, Self has utmost respect for junior point guard Mason, as well as Moore, floor general at SMU. “He’s player of the year in their conference. He’s one of the best guards in the country, period,” Self said of Moore, who led the American Athletic Conference champion Mustangs in scoring (14.5), assists (5.1)

He hit a career-high eight three-pointers in a 28-point outburst against Houston on Jan. 24.

KSHSAA ends football districts

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Starting in 2016, regularseason high school football games will become much more important.

The Kansas State High School Activities Association announced in May that Class 6A and 5A schools no longer will be assigned football districts, beginning in 2016. Instead, football teams will play an eight-game regular season before being split into east and west brackets and seeded 1 through 16 for the ninth game, which will serve as the Please see KEEGAN, page 3C first round of the postseason.

KSHSAA’s exective board decided Thursday it will use winning percentage, headto-head record, then wins against teams from 6A as the first set of tiebreakers but will determine the next tiebreaker over the next few months. That’s also the biggest question for most high school football coaches.

“My only concern is, how are they going to do tiebreakers,” Lawrence High coach Dirk Wedd asked before KSHSAA’s meeting Thursday. “Once you get your record, if you’re 5-3,

day-and-a-half now. I’m getting used to the things that the guys do. Everybody has made me feel welcome so far.”

Moore said it was an “honor” for him to be asked to be the only non-KU player on the USA’s 2015 World University Games team.

“Coach Brown (Larry, current SMU coach/former KU

coach) let me know in his office one day. He said I had an opportunity to be able to play with KU and represent the United States. To be able to hear that from him and for KU to accept me, like I said, it was an honor,” Moore said.

“I had smiles on my face. Just to be able to do what I love with a great group of guys is pretty fun.

“Coach Brown has been everywhere (in his career).

Just to be around him every day is an honor for me and to learn from him,” Moore added. “To go from one school I play for him to come back to his school that he first started at just shows they see something in me and I could be able to play with them.”

Self worked for Brown one year at KU. Brown’s associate head coach, Tim Jankovich, worked for Self four seasons at KU. “I mean, he (Self) is another image of coach Brown and coach Jankovich,” Moore said. “I like the way he (Self) coaches, fast tempo.

Warriors one win away

Oakland, Calif. (ap) — Stephen Curry came off a screen, dribbled behind his back and crossed over Matthew Dellavedova. He stepped back and swished a three-pointer, then pounded his chest and pointed to the roof, seemingly controlling the sellout crowd of 19,596 on his fingertips.

One more win and the MVP will really have a moment to celebrate.

Curry made seven threepointers and scored 37 points, and the Warriors withstood another brilliant performance from LeBron James to outlast the Cleveland Cavaliers 104-91 on Sunday night for a 3-2 lead in the NBA Finals.

“It was a fun moment, but it will only mean something — and I’ll probably have a better for that question after we win that championship — but signature moments only come for players who are holding the trophy,” said Curry, who added seven rebounds and four asLanger snares sists.

depleted Cavs, without injured starters Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, tired again late with a rotation that has gone just seven or eight deep.

“He has the ball in his hands a lot. Stick with the program.

Don’t get discouraged if he makes shots. He’s going to,” Curry said of James. “Over the course of 48 minutes, we hope we wear him down to make it very tough on him.”

Draymond Green had 16 points and nine rebounds, Andre Iguodala added 14 points, eight rebounds and seven assists, and reserve Leandro Barbosa scored 13 points for the deep and talented Warriors.

Tristan Thompson tallied 19 points and 10 rebounds, and J.R. Smith scored all 14 of his points in the first half for Cleveland, which shot 39.5 percent and had no answer for Curry late.

“Not a lot you can do, honestly. He made some terrific shots,” Cavs coach David Blatt said.

Under the current 2-2-1-1-1 schedule format, the winner of Game 5 in a 2-2 series has won the title 12 of 14 times. But nobody can feel too comfortable after this one.

There were 20 lead changes and 10 ties in a game that featured nearly as many bruises as baskets — but few big men — and the league’s two biggest attractions trading thrilling scores.

James made a 34-footer with the shot clock about to expire midway through the fourth to cut the Warriors’ lead to 80-79.

Curry answered with a stepback three-pointer, and Klay Thompson, who scored 12, followed with another.

Iguodala later hit a three and then grabbed a rebound, tossing in a left-handed put back while getting fouled by Tristan Thompson. Iguodala strutted back to midcourt, staring at the crowd — just about all of them on their feet through the fourth — before missing the free throw.

Curry added a cutting layup, then lost Dellavedova off the dribble and stepped back for a three that gave Golden State a 96-86 lead with 2:44 left.

“It was an incredible play and I enjoyed watching it from my front-row seat,” Green said.

James hit a three-pointer, and the Cavs began fouling Iguodala — a sub-par free throw shooter. But Curry never let the game get out of his hands, connecting on another three-pointer with 1:12 remaining, sending fans into a frenzy and teammates running to give him hugs and high-fives.

“We didn’t let the moment slip,” Curry said.

James said the Cavs are content with the way they defended Curry.

“Was any of them not contested?” James said. “Falling, step-backs off the dribble. I’m OK with that. We’re OK with that. You tip your hat to the best shooter in the league.”

Kerr stuck with the smallball lineup he used to help the Warriors win Game 4, starting swingman Iguodala over center Andrew Bogut. Blatt replaced 7-footer Timofey Mozgov with the streaky shooting Smith — sliding James to center — after Cleveland fell behind 8-2 in the opening minutes.

“I thought from the very beginning when they went small, had their shooters out there, I thought this is Steph’s night,” Kerr said.

Kurt Busch weathers rain for victory Brooklyn, Mich. (ap) — Kyle Larson knew the rain was coming — and wanted it to arrive as soon as possible.

He didn’t get his wish. Instead, the downpour that ended this Sprint Cup race in Michigan gave the victory to Kurt Busch.

With his fuel running low, Larson had to make a pit stop, ceding the lead to Busch only a few laps before heavy rain arrived and ended Sunday’s race. It was Busch’s second Cup victory of the year. Larson remains winless, although he had tried to stay out on the track long enough to reach the rainstorm in first place.

KC-Cards washed; rotation juggled St. Louis (ap) — Chris Young was ready for anything. Now, the Kansas City Royals’ pitcher gets an extra day to do his homework.

Well before Sunday’s game against the Cardinals was postponed by rain, Young had asked for scouting reports on both St. Louis and Milwaukee. Having his next start pushed back to Tuesday, with Edinson Volquez starting the series opener today in Milwaukee, was really no big deal.

“Look, it’s life,” Young said. “It’s part of the job and what we do. It’s not the first time it’s hap-

pened and I hope it’s not the last.”

Manager Ned Yost said juggling the rotation would allow Young time to focus on the Brewers.

“To have that extra day to watch video and prepare, it will be cramming a little bit like a college test or something,” Young said. “But it allows (Volquez) to stay on his natural program.”

Young got ready to pitch twice, doing some long tossing before the initial start time and then again about two hours later. The game was postponed after a delay of 2 hours, 31 minutes.

“I still the whole time thought we were going to play at some point,” Young said.

No makeup date has been determined for the final game of the season series. The teams have two mutual open dates, July 23 and Aug. 4.

“I was willing to wait as long as we could,” Yost said. “Those off days are precious and we’re here and I liked the matchup.”

But he’d also seen the forecasts that called for brief windows of calm between showers most of the day.

“I personally don’t want to put Chris Young

me because I hear it every day from coach Brown and coach Jank.

When I see coach Self, I see them.”

Moore, who arrived at KU for his first practice Friday, hasn’t had any serious sit-downs with Self yet.

“He hasn’t really explained any of that to me,” Moore said of the coach’s expectations for him. “I think he just wants me to have fun. It’s not my team. It’s KU and coach Self. It’s basically coming here, do what he says and just work hard.”

Moore has a vision of his role for KU in the University Games July 3-14 in Gwangju, South Korea.

“I want to bring hard work and leadership, really,” Moore said. “I just want to get along with the guys, see how they play, be able to have fun out here with them. I know I’m new. They don’t really know me, but I want to be a leader out on the floor, talk to them, any possible way I can help this team.

“I want to show the guys I’m here for them, move the ball, be a point guard and be a leader. I want to win every game if it’s for the USA, if it’s for my school, if it’s pickup ball, YMCA … I want to win every game. But then to represent the United States is another step up.”

He said he hasn’t studied film or scouting reports on his new KU teammates.

“No. Whoever is open gets the ball. That’s how I play,” Moore said. “I’m not worried about who is on the court with me or what guy can do what.”

If he sounds confident, it’s because he is confident.

He has overcome a lot of naysayers into becoming a standout college player.

“A lot of mid-major schools were recruiting me out of high school. I’ve heard it’s my height my whole life. Obviously, it’s not. It’s just what people say,” said Moore, a native of Winona Lake, Indiana, who initially played one season for Jankovich at Illinois State, then transferred to SMU in 2012 after Jankovich was hired as Brown’s head coach in waiting.

“I’ll just continue to work hard. Once I left Illinois State, I wanted to give that tribute back to coach Jankovich because that’s who brought me into all this college basketball. To be able to follow him and now be able to play for coach Brown is pretty cool.”

Moore in just one practice has already made an impression.

“I learned he’s a leader. He got there halfway through (Friday’s) practice, walked in and acted like he owned the place.

That’s exactly what best players in leagues do,” Self said.

Moore explained his entrance: “I actually hopped off a plane, started signing some papers. I only got to practice with the guys about 35 minutes, so I haven’t really

gotten to see anything yet,” he said.

Asked if he’s going to “be shy or be a leader,” Moore said: “I’m definitely going to be a leader. I wouldn’t be here if I was shy.”

KU senior Perry Ellis, who has been a leader mainly by example, said he was all in favor of adding Moore to the team.

“He seems like a great guy. I like him,” Ellis said, adding, “He moves the ball real well. He can score and is vocal. He’s going to be a huge addition to us.” l

Diallo graduates: KU signee Cheick Diallo, 6-9 power forward from Our Savior New American High in Centereach, New York, tweeted a picture of himself in cap and gown Saturday following his high school graduation ceremony.

“I did it. Now next step is Kansas baby,” Diallo wrote above his picture.

Born in Mali, he’s unable to play in KU’s World University’s Games. He plans to arrive here in July. Diallo is ranked No. 5 nationally in the Class of 2015 by Rivals.com. l

KU golfer Hanna takes Challenge J-W Staff Reports

Mission Hills — Kansas University men’s golfer Chase Hanna shot a 1-under 69 to edge Tom Watson by a stroke to win the Watson Challenge on Sunday at Mission Hills Country Club.

“You know, I was confident all day,” Hanna said of his final round.

“I was swinging it really well. I struggled with my ball-striking on the first day. Today, I really struck everything well.”

The Watson Challenge

gathers the best golfers in the Kansas City area to determine the title “Best Golfer in the Greater Kansas City Golf Community,” according to the Kansas City Golf Association website. Watson has won six of the nine events bearing his name. Hanna tied for ninth in the 2014 Watson Challenge at Loch Lloyd Country Club in only other time he has competed in the tourney.

“This tournament is designed to see who is the best player in Kansas City, amateur or pro

alike,” Watson said of the 47-golfer field, which included 23 amateurs, including Hanna. “This year, the best player here was an amateur.”

Watson and Hanna entered Sunday’s third and final round in a three-way tie with Michael Letzig.

“I would say this is the biggest win,” Hanna said.

“Beating Mr. Watson and Michael Letzig, too. Mr. Watson made a cut on the tour this year, so I feel I beat a still, great player.

I’m just thrilled with how it ended up.”

on the mound and let him pitch two innings and the game gets banged eventually anyway,” Yost said.

“Your pitcher is done.

“A 45-minute window is not going to get you five innings.”

The Cardinals lead the season series 3-2 and outscored the Royals 7-2 the first two games of this three-game set.

The Tuesday starting spot had been undetermined with Joe Blanton the probable pitcher.

Now, Blanton will be the fallback in case Yordano Ventura, who left Friday’s start after three innings due to right hand

weakness, has an issue on Wednesday.

The Cardinals will stick with John Lackey, the scheduled starter Sunday, today against Minnesota.

The rainout sent home a third straight sellout crowd for the series matching teams with the best record in the National and American leagues.

The postponement is the first at Busch Stadium since May 14, 2014, against the Cubs.

The Royals lead the American League with a 34-25 record and .576 winning percentage and have a 11⁄2-game lead on Minnesota in the AL Central.

Keegan

The Cardinals are 41-21 overall and 24-7 at home, both major-league bests.

They’ve won three in a row and 14 of 19, with pitchers posting a 2.13 ERA, entering a four-game home and home series with the Minnesota Twins starting tonight in St. Louis.

Yost was true to his word and had resisted shaking up the lineup even though his team has scored two or fewer runs in 12 of the last 17 games.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Scherzer silences Brewers The Associated Press

National League Nationals 4, Brewers 0 Milwaukee — Max Scherzer struck out a Nationals-record 16 and pitched a one-hitter, losing his perfect-game bid on a bloop single that barely fell in during the seventh inning to lead Washington to a victory over Milwaukee on Sunday.

Carlos Gomez got Milwaukee’s only hit, leading off the seventh with a broken-bat blooper to right field just beyond the outstretched glove of second baseman Anthony Rendon. Scherzer looked the other away after the ball dropped.

Dear Annie: I have two daughters-in-law who seem disrespectful to me. The first one only visits on Christmas day. Yet she has no problem calling when she wants me to take her kids to a doctor’s appointment or pick them up from school.

The other one does the same, but her excuse is that they are too busy to see me.

I don’t want to waste any more of my time on people who have no other use for me, and this upsets my husband no end. But, Annie, it’s simply not fair. I am entitled to some respect.

Why do these women think I owe them everything, but they never reciprocate? — Mother-in-Law from Hell Dear Mother-inLaw: Respect has to be earned, no matter who you are. A relationship

Annie’s Mailbox

with an in-law takes time and effort from both sides.

Do you see your sons without their wives? If not, you should speak directly to them about it. Never denigrate or criticize their wives. Instead, we urge you to do what you can to warm up these relationships.

Let your daughters-inlaw know how much you appreciate them for being supportive wives to your sons and good parents to the children

‘Making of the Mob’ shines light When in doubt, go back to the classics. “Goodfellas” (6 p.m., AMC) star Ray Liotta narrates “The Making of the Mob: New York” (9 p.m., AMC), an eightpart survey history of the ofttold tales of gangster visionaries, including Charles “Lucky” Luciano, Meyer Lansky and Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel. These men emerged from immigrant backgrounds to wield outsized social, political and economic influence over their communities and nation.

“Mob” combines re-enactments shot with cinematic flourish, documentary footage and still photography as well as interviews with former federal prosecutor and New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and former Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman, a man with colorful stories.

Because this is AMC, formerly known as American Movie Classics, and because any tales regarding organized crime are as much part-folklore as fact, we also hear from actors who played mob-related characters on the big and small screen: Chazz Palminteri, Drea de Matteo, Joe Mantegna and Vincent Pastore. “Jersey Boy” Frankie Valli of Four Seasons fame shows up as well.

O Speaking of blending truecrime documentaries with cinematic elements, Linda Hamilton (”The Terminator”) hosts the new 12-episode series “Over My Dead Body” (9 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., ID). “Over” relates stories of women who refused to be victims and resisted, turning the tables on male attackers.

O The political controversy and legal thicket surrounding gay marriage may be a recent story to some, but to Richard Adams and Tony Sullivan, it was part of their lives for nearly 40 years. Way back in 1975, a county clerk in Boulder, Colorado, issued both men a marriage license. Their story unfolds in the documentary “Limited Partnership” on “Independent Lens” (9 p.m., PBS, check local listings).

After their controversial marriage, Sullivan, an Australian citizen, applied for a green card. The two men faced legal battles for the decades they were together.

Tonight’s other highlights O The Tampa Bay Lightning and Chicago Blackhawks meet in game six of the 2015 NHL Stanley Cup Final (7 p.m., NBC).

O The competition moves to Los Angeles on “So You Think You Can Dance” (7 p.m., Fox).

O A Father’s Day brunch on “The Fosters” (7 p.m., ABC Family).

O A possible scandal won’t stay in Vegas on “Scorpion” (8 p.m., CBS).

O A car chase concludes when a body pops out of a trunk on “Major Crimes” (8 p.m., TNT).

(we hope they are). Find something to like about them if it kills you. If you can keep your side positive and friendly, they are more likely to respond in kind.

Dear Annie: Every year, my four closest friends and I host birthday parties for one another. We call ourselves “soul sisters.” Because we are all settled with homes and families, we decided that it would be fun to create an individual wish list prior to our birthday party. It makes it easier to shop, and we won’t receive unneeded items.

One of our “soul sisters” creates an extensive and very detailed wish list. However, when it comes to gifts for others, she disregards our lists entirely, ignoring our suggestions and buying things we can’t use.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, June 15: This year you are unusually creative and dynamic. You also seem to be more sensitive and caring in how you approach others. The response to the evolving you is nothing less than positive. If you are single, the question remains: Which potential suitor will you choose to be your sweetie? If you are attached, communication soars between you this summer, providing greater intimacy and understanding.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ++++ You’ll share your ideas, some of which have been on the back burner for a while. Tonight: Talk up a storm.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) +++ Use caution with your finances, no matter how great an idea might seem. Pace yourself.

Tonight: Treat someone to dinner.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) +++++ You’ll be close to unstoppable with your nearly limitless collection of ideas. Tonight: All smiles.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) +++++ Your ability to move past an important situation will be enhanced if you can just slow down. Tonight: Get some R and R. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ++++ Zero in on what you want. What you find to be true might not be true for others. To-

I know that these are gifts and we should be grateful, but this has really begun to bother me. Her birthday is coming up, and I would like to buy her something that isn’t on her list to see how she responds. What do you think? — Soulless Dear Soulless: We understand your frustration, and you certainly could try turning the tables to see whether it makes a difference.

You also can ask her directly why she never gets things on the list.

She may, in fact, resent having to purchase things that you are asking for. These are your “soul sisters” and such a conversation should not be that difficult.

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

night: Where the action is.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) +++++ Listen to a different point of view, especially if it is coming from someone you need to answer to. Tonight: A must appearance.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) +++++ You’ll need to step back from someone who has a great deal of influence on you.

Tonight: Read between the lines.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) +++++ Make a list of your priorities. Listen to news more openly than you have in the past.

Tonight: With a favorite loved one.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ++++ Deal with others directly. You might not believe some information that suddenly gets dropped on you. Tonight: Be receptive to an invitation.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) +++ One-on-one relating will take you to a new level of understanding with a key associate.

Tonight: Out till the wee hours.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) +++ Observing and listening well will give you the answers you have been seeking. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) +++ You often don’t see the correlation between your actions and your words. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise, then head home.
