Universities told to retool tuition hike requests

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

Topeka — The Kansas Board of Regents, in response to a legislative decision, sent university leaders

back to the drawing board with orders to adjust tuition proposals on Wednesday.

Kansas University and its five fellow state universities were asked to tweak proposals so that tuition

and fees combined would increase no more than 3.6 percent for the upcoming academic year.

The Board of Regents is expected to receive updated proposals and vote

to approve them Thursday morning.

In an atypical move at the finale of the recent recordlong session, the Kansas Legislature ordered tuition increases for fiscal year

2016 capped at inflation plus 2 percent, or a total of 3.6 percent.

On Wednesday morning, all six Regents universities Please see TUITION, page 2A

Education leader hears about need for more workforce skills

Fun with fundraising

VAN GO ARTS INTERN CRISTY SHEPPARD works with art director Rick Wright to secure the wheels to a pirate ship wagon that will be put up for auction with other items during Saturday’s 12th annual What Floats Your Boat fundraiser at Clinton Lake Marina, 1329 East 800 Road. The event is Van Go’s biggest fundraiser. The organization is hoping to raise $100,000 this year. Proceeds from What Floats Your Boat go toward paying the nonprofit’s at-risk young artists while providing job training and social services. In addition to the auction and dinner and drinks, the event will feature a performance by Lawrence blues musician Kelley Hunt. Find more information at van-go.org.

Real World 101 might be the most needed class in middle schools and high schools across the state, Kansas education officials learned Wednesday as they talked with Lawrence area employers about the quality of students graduating from the state’s school system.

“There needs to be a new curriculum that focuses a little more on life skills versus just what you learn from a book,” Stacey Watson Kehoe, a human resources specialist with Lawrence-based Grandstand Glassware & Apparel, said at a listening session on Kansas University’s West Campus.

Randy Watson, who will start his job as the Kansas commissioner of education on July 1, told the audience that he’s heard that from employers across the state.

Group seeks new dog park and a $10-per-year license requirement Town Talk

Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

T

here are, of course, dozens of reasons why you may see a fellow running with a milk bone in hand, yelling “come back, Toodles, come back.” One of them, though, is his dog likes to run far and wide when taken off a leash at one of the city’s two off-leash dog parks. Well, there is a new effort to revive an old idea in Lawrence: construction of a new fenced dog park that would better accommodate such canines.

Organizers of the idea also are pitching the idea that a new $10 per year dog licensing fee could be part of the plan to help raise money to maintain the park and fund other dog-

Lawrence resident and pet lover Lisa Scieszinski came to Tuesday’s City Commission meeting and told commissioners that she and a group of residents plan to push hard for the creation of a park. She said preliminary research indicates the best site would be on vacant city-owned property along Peterson Road, just west of the Hallmark Cards production plant.

There is a site at the northwest corner of Peterson Road and North Iowa Street and also a site at the southwest corner of that intersection.

State commerce secretary resigning Topeka — Kansas Commerce Secretary Pat George plans to step down in July to become the CEO of a nonprofit group that provides alcohol and substance abuse treatment in seven states.

Gov. Sam Brownback announced Wednesday that George is resigning.

George has led the Department of Commerce since Brownback took office in January 2011.

The governor’s office said George will become president and CEO of the Valley Hope Association. It has five treatment centers in Kansas and others in Colorado, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas.

Brownback said George turned the Department of Commerce into a worldclass operation.

George is the second member of Brownback’s cabinet to announce plans to step down within two months. Secretary of Administration Jim Clark announced in May that he’d also be leaving next month.

possibility of a $10 per year, per dog fee. The idea of a dog licensing system certainly isn’t novel. Lots and lots of communities have them.

Scieszinski presented information that Manhattan charges $12 a year for dogs and cats that have not been neutered or spayed, and $6 per year for those dogs and cats that have. Topeka also licenses both dogs and cats, charging $8 or $20 depending on their spay or neutered status.

Notice I have mentioned the ‘C’ word — cats — twice now.

Scieszinski didn’t mention anything about a licensing program for cats. But most of the benefits of a licensing system — assuring compliance with vaccination laws, reduction in animal shelter stays, and such — are the same for cats as with dogs. Using the estimation program Scieszinski used, there are supposedly 21,000 cats in the city. Add that to the dog total, and that would be about $400,000 a year that the city would be collecting in licensing fees. Remember, though, all of this is based off a pretty rudimentary estimation program that doesn’t have any specific data about Lawrence. It would be interesting to see how much Manhattan, Topeka and other Kansas cities are collecting in pet licenses.

We’ll see where this one goes, and in the meantime, I’ll keep rooting for Toodles to return.

At KU tuition went up 4.9 percent in 2014-2015, 5 percent in 2013-14, 5.1 percent in 2012-13, 6.2 percent in 2011-12 and 9.2 percent in 2010-11.

Regent Shane Bangerter said he understood the schools leaders’ “consternation.”

“While it is not easy and it certainly is not something we would have chosen, we feel it necessary to stick with the 3.6 percent cap,” Bangerter said. “It’s somewhat with a bit of heaviness that I make that recommendation.”

A SEAT AT THE TABLES ————————

Restaurant offers ‘pop-up’ fine dining experience in below-ground wine cellar

Fashion trends you dislike: Shoulder pads from the ’90s Fashion influences: Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill Who would you choose to have dinner with, living or dead? Heath Ledger, because he’s gorgeous.

Clothing details: Hat, Forever 21, $16; shirt, Charlotte Russe, $5; shorts, TJ Maxx, $12; sandals, Charlotte Russe, $10; shawl, World Market, $38; earrings, Claire’s, $5; bracelet, Nigeria, $2; necklace, Nigeria, $7.

If it grows together, it goes together.

That’s the idea behind Two Tables, the new “fine dining pop-up restaurant” — as it’s described by owner Steve Wilson — that’s located, funnily enough, below ground.

The concept, which literally houses just two large tables in the wine cellar underneath downtown’s La Parrilla, 724 Massachusetts St., has acted as something of a culinary laboratory for Wilson and collaborators Jamie Routledge, Subarna Bhattachan, Alejandro Lule and Armando Paniagua since opening last month.

“It’s a combination of our experiences with our three restaurants,” says Bhattachan, who owns La Parrilla, Genovese and Zen Zero with Lule (Paniagua is a co-owner of Genovese).

“And it’s a chance for us to be creative — we’re not bound by one particular (style).”

He’s running a reservationsonly operation as of now, with Two Tables partners creating and serving a different sixcourse menu one night every month.

With a focus on fresh and local ingredients, much of the dining experience at Two Tables is designed around wine — appropriate, considering its location.

“Being a wine merchant, we probably taste 100 wines a month. There’s always something new and interesting to discover,” says Wilson, who runs City Wine Market with Routledge in west Lawrence.

“This is a stage for that.”

In the late 1990s, Wilson purchased the space that would eventually become Two Tables. He ended up gutting the place, transforming it from a nondescript basement that once belonged to a furniture store into his personal wine cellar, where he would often bring visiting family and friends for special occasions.

Duck confit over Chifa-style fried quinoa with blueberry red wine reduction at Two Tables, 724 Massachusetts St. the building from Wilson in 2013 to open his new La Parrilla location at 724 Massachusetts St., Wilson leased him the wine cellar, and the two began hosting private (mostly invitationonly) dinners there.

“People seemed to really like it, so we thought we’d open it up the public,” Bhattachan says.

Each tasting menu — which can accommodate allergies and other dietary restrictions, Bhattachan notes — costs $85.

Guests have the choice to opt out of the additional $35 wine pairing, but they may be missing out, Wilson says.

“Most wines grew up with food,” says Wilson, referring to

the centuries-old varieties that were created with specific foods in mind. “So oftentimes when people are tasting wine, they’re not getting the full picture because they’re not tasting the food the wine grew up with.”

Bhattachan, who plans on using more locally raised “wild game” like bison and elk, says Two Tables is all about “the trust factor” between customers and the chefs.

So far, folks seem to trust what the Two Tables crew is cooking up, with word of mouth and social media generating interest from Lawrence’s more “adventurous” foodies, he says.

There are three more planned dinners on the horizon, one at 8:30 p.m. Friday and others at 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. July 17. Beyond that, Bhattachan says he’s not sure, and will take things slowly.

“We’ll see how our guests respond,” he says. “If it goes well, then we’ll probably do it more than once a month.”

JEFF the Brotherhood is finally getting a taste of freedom.

Earlier this year, brothers Jamin and Jake Orrall were cut

by Warner Bros. Records just as they were about to release a new album. Instead of mourning the loss, they celebrated it via a strongly worded announcement that they sent out to their fans, industry folk and members of the press. The release declared their pleasure at having been “dropped from the clutches of the demented vulture that is Warner Bros.”

The rockers then released their fuzz-heavy album, “Wasted on the Dream,” on their own Infinity Cat Recordings and immediately embarked on a tour, one that will land them at the Granada on Sunday. Jamin, the drummer in this psych and garage rock outfit, is seeing nothing but opportunities.

“Anything we want to do that makes us happy is available to us now,” he says. “We can make records without a label’s input.

We can make it how we want, as long as we want. We can make it with whoever we want, put it out however we want.”

The list goes on, but Orrall doesn’t completely discredit his former label.

“It was a good experience, but I’m much happier not on it,” he says. “It was fun, we got to make a really big record, spend a lot of money. We kind of got the best deal because we got to experience the whole thing without debt, which most

‘Catching on’ Now that they’re venturing out on their own, JEFF the Brotherhood can take its experimental sound even further.

On this most recent tour, the band added a bass player and an extra guitarist.

“It’s exciting, it’s really fun, it’s different,” Orrall says. “I think it’s louder, heavier.”

That sound is part of a trend that has overcome the nation.

Bands like JEFF the Brotherhood and fellow psychedelic rockers Tame Impala used to play venues like the Replay and the Jackpot. Now, they’re hitting up larger stages at the Granada.

“I guess people are just catching on,” Orrall says. “Everything comes in waves. People are just now coming back around to rock music again.

Like anyone emerging from a bad relationship, Orrall hopes JEFF the Brotherhood’s current tour away from the clutches of a major label will help him with some social ambitions.

“Lately my goals have been to meet more people and be around people that are inspiring to me,” he says. “There are definitely a lot of people I meet on tour that I don’t enjoy, but there are circumstances when you’re not expecting it where

A fresh start No matter the audience, what JEFF the Brotherhood wants right now is to keep the momentum going.

“The whole Warner Bros. thing, I think we’re just ready to start fresh,” Orrall says. “I love the record, it might be my favorite one I’ve ever made.

But at the same time, I want to keep making stuff.”

“Wasted on the Dream” was recorded more than a year ago, so it’s easy to understand their eagerness to avoid slipping through the cracks.

“That’s the hard part. Just to keep putting little things out and going on tour once in a while,” Orrall says. “As a band, you always try to not be forgotten. You have to keep doing stuff. They kept us from putting our album out for so long that we lost a lot of momentum.” Then, with confidence, Orrall declares, “But luckily, we’ll get it back.”

will be July 20.

“It was just a really great opportunity,” Blevins said. “It is a faithbased organization, and that fits in well with who I am.”

The decision, though, leaves the shelter searching for its third director since May 2014, when longtime director Loring Henderson retired.

A leader with the shelter’s board of directors said the board will meet on Monday to map out a process for hiring a new director.

“We’re confident that we’ll find someone great,” said John R. Tacha, vice president of the board of directors. “Someone will want this job because of how much good you can do in this position.”

Tacha said the board was understanding of Blevins’ decision.

“It was a completely amicable split,” Tacha said. “It really was a just a dream position for him.”

Blevins said he knows the timing of the change isn’t ideal for the shelter.

As previously reported, the shelter is facing an approximately $150,000 shortfall in its $1 million operating budget for 2015.

Blevins confirmed he has sent a funding request to both the city and the county, asking the two governments to provide a total of $150,000 to $200,000 for the remainder of 2015.

Blevins said he’s been told the City Commission will consider that funding request in early July.

Blevins said the funding situation, however, had no bearing on his decision to take the new job.

Loan Erik Shackelford, student, Lawrence “I’ve watched a sport that’s like soccer but people are in these giant plastic bubbles.”

Alex Torquemada, travel coordinator, Lawrence “There’s an English sport called Gloucestershire Cheese Rolling where people chase a cheese ball that’s rolled down a hill. The person who makes it to the end first wins, and I think they also win the cheese ball.”

BRIEFLY Museum to host odd sports event Throwing conventional sports to the wind, the Watkins Museum of History will host The Larryville Offbeat Sports Day on Saturday, the museum said in a release.

The event will be held between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. at the East Lawrence Recreation Center, 1245 E. 15th St., and adjoining Edgewood Park, the release said. Participation is free and open to the public.

Throughout the day demonstrations and scrimmages of eight lesser-known sports will be held, the release said.

The event will feature pickleball, bike polo, kickball and kaiut yoga, among other sports, as well as a Red Dog’s Dog Days community workout, the release said.

Residents of all ages and levels of fitness are invited to attend and participate.

the campaign. Each one was made just before the deadline for filing campaign finance reports.

The first was made over the New Year’s holiday. On Dec. 31, 2013, the closing day of the 2013 reporting period, Colyer loaned the campaign $500,000.

That loan made it look as though Brownback had raised $1.6 million during 2013, well ahead of his presumed Democratic challenger at the time, Rep. Paul Davis of Lawrence, who had raised just over $1 million since officially entering the race earlier that year.

What wasn’t disclosed until the end of the next reporting period in July was that the loan was repaid the next business day, Jan. 2, 2014.

On July 23, 2014, one day before the cutoff of the next reporting period, Colyer made another $500,000 loan to the campaign. That made it look as though Brownback had raised $1.2 million in the January-July reporting period, slightly more than the $1.1 million Davis had raised during that same time frame.

In October, though, the campaign reported that the July loan had been repaid two days later, and

It was a completely amicable split. It really was a just a dream position for him.”

— John R. Tacha, vice president of the Lawrence Community Shelter board of directors He said the shelter is not facing a financial crisis that threatens its future.

“We will have to make changes to our services, though, if we don’t get the funding,” Blevins said.

“That would be horrible for many of our guests.”

Operating expenses at the shelter have increased by about $300,000 since the shelter moved from a small downtown facility in 2012 that provided 75 beds to a new facility on the eastern edge of Lawrence that provides housing for 125 guests.

The shelter receives a majority of its approximately $1 million operating budget from grants and private donations, but Blevins said a host of capital campaigns in the community — including one for the shelter to purchase and renovate its facility — has created some “donor fatigue” in the community.

“But it has been a lot easier for us to get accountability from our guests by being in this facility,” said Blevins, who said the extra space has allowed for more job training opportunities and has allowed for social service agencies to set up office inside the shelter rather than relying on shelter guests to show up at off-site appointments.

“It has created a much better environment for recovery.”

that Colyer had made another $500,000 loan to the campaign on Aug. 13.

Sam and Mary Brownback also loaned $200,000 to the campaign in October.

The final, year-end report of the election cycle, which was filed Jan. 15, showed the campaign had repaid $400,000 of that final loan and that $100,000 was still outstanding.

News that a grand jury was investigating those transactions leaked to the news media Jan. 14 when Carol Williams, executive director of the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission, was subpoenaed to testify, and to bring with her: “any and all contracts or presentations between you, or any other member of the commission, pertaining to loans made to the Brownback for Governor Campaign in 2013 and 2014.”

Williams ended up not testifying before the grand jury.

“I find it interesting that the governor’s office, for the first time, acknowledged that there was an investigation,” Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka said. “Up until now, they denied that an investigation was even going on. So at least they admitted that there was an investigation. But as to why the U.S. attorney’s office chose not to issue any indictments, I think, remains to be a mystery.”

Friend feels responsible for man’s death Dear Annie: Recently, I insisted a dear friend move into my home so I could help him after he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. After a lengthy surgery, doctors managed to remove it. Two weeks later, I took him to a rustic cabin retreat so he could rest.

The morning we were to leave for home, I woke up and went to open the front door, but it was blocked. Apparently, my friend had gone out earlier, tripped and hit his head, and had died in front of the door.

Since then, I haven’t been able to eat or sleep. I don’t know where to turn and am about to have a breakdown. I can’t afford therapy. Do you have any advice? — Devastated in Ohio Dear Ohio: We are

You thought your friend would be OK and weren’t prepared for his sudden death.

‘Astronaut Wives Club’ falls flat The movie title “Failure to Launch” perfectly describes the terrible new series “The Astronaut Wives Club” (7 p.m., ABC).

Based on a book by Lily Koppel, “Wives Club” returns to the early days of the Space Race, a time when America’s prestige and power was on the line and when a well-publicized scientific and technical rivalry mirrored efforts to create missile delivery systems for nuclear weapons. In early 1961, the U.S.S.R. appeared to be winning.

Not that these grim implications have much to do with “Wives Club.” This remarkably misbegotten series focuses on the women behind the seven Mercury astronauts, particularly as they were hyped

by NASA and Life magazine, an enthusiastic booster of the space program.

We see the women react to being used as props to sell the all-American nature of the program. One wife complains she’s being used as propaganda. Later, a NASA flack suggests they all get dogs, just for symbolism’s sake.

But this is about as edgy and deep as things get here. The focus is on the wives’ rather brittle relations with one another and their ability to look the other way when their famous husbands philander. It’s also about costume changes — lots of them.

The first episode covers the wives’ lives, from the selection of their husbands to the successful completion of Alan Shepard’s (Desmond Harrington) brief suborbital flight.

His wife, Louise (Dominique McElligott), puts up a brave front for America, but around the “gals” she’s wrapped a tad too tight.

This story could have been fascinating. Think of an insider’s take along the lines of Scorsese’s “Goodfellas.” Or funny: “The Real Housewives of Cocoa Beach.” Instead, it’s a turgid soap opera burdened by a leaden script. It’s curious that a show about propaganda should be so laden with unnatural and platitudinous dialogue.

There are moments when “Wives Club” seems translated or dubbed from a language not our own.

And why accompany this mid-20th-century tale with a playlist better suited to “Gilmore Girls”?

Given the very short life of “Pan Am,” ABC’s 2011 midcentury costume drama, I’m not certain we’re going to make it to the end of Project Mercury.

And “Pan Am” was a hundred times less dreadful than this.

Dear Annie: It is summertime again, so I thought I would put in my two cents on what I want friends and relatives to be aware of when they come to my house to swim. Because I’m the one with the pool, I am often expected to host our family and friends, which is fine. I enjoy it. But people don’t realize how much work it takes to make it ready to use.

For Thursday, June 18: This year you tap into your creativity more often. Though you value your friendships, the unexpected will force you to rely on your own decisions. If you are single, you could meet someone in the next few months who ends up being a long-term romance. If you are attached, the two of you need to take off this summer and spend a few days away from it all.

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) Your mood is likely to put several people off until you are able to get centered. Tonight: Head home.

3. Remember to take all your stuff home with you and please label everything you bring.

4. If you bring food to one of my pool parties, bring enough to share.

And if you want to contribute to the meal I make, bring something substantial. I resent spending $75 on meat and you show up with a bag of chips.

New regents Gov. Sam Brownback has chosen to put three new faces on the Kansas Board of Regents.

H

igher education plays a huge role in the future of Kansas, and the Kansas Board of Regents can and should play a big role in supporting and promoting the state universities, community colleges and vocationaltechnical schools that constitute the state’s higher education system.

For that reason, appointments to the Board of Regents are among the governor’s most important choices, and the way he or she uses those appointments is a significant indicator of a governor’s goals and vision for higher education.

Gov. Brownback announced the appointment of three new regents on Tuesday. They will replace three regents that Brownback appointed in 2011: Fred Logan, Robba Moran and Kenny Wilk. All three were eligible for reappointment, so either they declined that opportunity or the governor decided he wanted to go in another direction.

Two of the three regents appointed

by Gov. Brownback on Tuesday are company CEOs, which may indicate he wants to take a more business-oriented approach to higher education in the state. The third is a periodontist who practices in Leawood.

The two CEOs are David Murfin, of Wichita, and Dennis Mullin, of Manhattan. Murfin’s businesses include a drilling company and a tractor and equipment company. He is a Kansas University graduate who serves on the KU School of Business Board of Advisors. In addition to his business interests, he also serves on the boards of the Kansas Chamber and the Kansas Bioscience Authority. Mullin attended Pittsburg State University and is CEO of Steel and Pipe Supply. According to a press release, he’s also active in the Flint Hills Christian School and serves on the advisory board for Kansas State University’s business school.

Dr. Daniel Thomas was appointed by Brownback to serve on the KU Hospital Authority Board and is a board member for the Kansas Arts Foundation, the entity that Brownback created to more or less replace the Kansas Arts Commission. He also was one of the co-chairs for Brownback’s 2010 inaugural committee.

State statutes set some geographical and political requirements for regents appointments, but no specific qualifications for the job. It doesn’t appear that any of the new appointees has professional expertise in higher education, but all three men are accomplished in their fields and have connections to state universities.

Perhaps their career success and their interest in higher education will make them strong leaders and advocates for the state’s university system. Their new position gives them the power to have a big impact on those universities. Hopefully, they will use that power to enhance state universities and help elected officials and other Kansas residents appreciate the importance of maintaining a strong system of higher education in the state.

‘Reset’ may not save McDonald’s Washington — In January, McDonald’s, leaning against the winds of fashion, said kale would never replace lettuce on its burgers. In May, however, it said it will test kale in a breakfast meal (breakfast is about 25 percent of McDonald’s sales). Kale might or might not cause construction workers to turn at 6 a.m. into McDonald’s drive-through lines, where approximately two-thirds of McDonald’s customers place their orders.

McDonald’s also says its milk will soon be without artificial growth hormones, and chicken (McDonald’s sells more of it than of beef) will be free of human antibiotics. All these might be good business decisions and as socially responsible as can be. They certainly pertain to McDonald’s new mantra about being a “modern, progressive burger company,” whatever that means.

The meaning will perhaps be explained by the progressive burger company’s new spokesman, Robert Gibbs, formerly Barack Obama’s spokesman and MSNBC contributor. McDonald’s British-born CEO, Steve Easterbrook, clarifies things, sort of, while speaking a strange business dialect: McDonald’s will be “more progressive around our social purpose in order to deepen our relationships with communities on the issues that matter to them.”

Suppose, however, you just want a burger and fries, not social purposes and relationships? You might prefer Five Guys or Shake Shack, where the burgers taste fine even without the condiment

George Will

georgewill@washpost.com

“

All these might be good business decisions and as socially responsible as can be. They certainly pertain to McDonald’s new mantra about being a “modern, progressive burger company,” whatever that means.” of community uplift. Five Guys and Shake Shack are pipsqueaks, with about 1,000 and 63 restaurants, respectively. McDonald’s, which has more than 36,000 — 14,300 in the United States — will open more than 1,000 new ones this year.

Although McDonald’s burgers ranked 21st in a recent Consumer Reports survey of 21 brands, this $81 billion company will not founder because of the small but growing cohort of customers who like the burger equivalent of microbrews.

But another behemoth, Budweiser, is experiencing McDonald’s-like difficulties.

Budweiser’s problem is not just that the number of barrels it sells has declined for 25 years, from almost 50 million in 1988 to 16 mil-

lion in 2013. (Budweiser has been partly cannibalized by Bud Light, which in 2001 displaced Budweiser as America’s top-selling beer.)

The ominous fact is that 44 percent of 21- to 27-year-old drinkers have never tasted Budweiser. They prefer craft beers from microbreweries. A craft brewer is one that ships 6 million or fewer barrels a year. In 2013, craft brewers shipped more than Bud did. Budweiser’s response has included this truculent ad: “Proudly a macro beer.

It’s not brewed to be fussed over. ... It’s brewed for drinking. Not dissecting. ...

Let them sip their pumpkin peach ale.”

This is an interesting approach to potential customers, calling craft beer drinkers (“them”) pretentious twits. If this is unavailing, Budweiser could try becoming a modern, progressive beer company with social purposes to deepen relationships with various communities, maybe even including people who just want a beer.

McDonald’s has been serving burgers since Ray Kroc opened his first store in Des Plaines, Illinois, in April 1955. Many billions of burgers later, however, it has had an epiphany: Henceforth it will toast the buns longer and sear the beef patties differently. Its 60-year learning curve bends imperceptibly, which helps explains sagging revenues — down almost 15 percent last year.

Recently, McDonald’s (“I’m lovin’ it”) briefly instituted an excruciating policy of inviting randomly

selected customers to “Pay with Lovin’” for their meals.

Customers could call their mothers, ask another customer to dance, or perform some other act to enlarge the universe’s stock of love.

Shortly thereafter, Starbucks, which evidently thinks Americans do not obsess sufficiently about race, tried to enlist customers in conversations about that subject. After six days, this project died of derision from Starbucks’ customers, many of whom go there for coffee, not a seminar.

McDonald’s, deep in an identity crisis, is awakening tardily to Ira Gershwin’s truth: The Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble, they’re only made of clay.

Everything is perishable, and history is a story of vanished supremacies.

Easterbrook, channeling his inner Hillary Clinton, vows to “reset” McDonald’s. Perhaps his reset will go better than hers did with Vladimir Putin.

Progressives are forever telling us who is and who is not on “the right side of history.” Many fastidious progressives deplore, and try to control (witness San Francisco’s current crusade against soft drinks), other people’s food choices. It will be instructive watching the progressive burger company try to persuade its chosen constituents to stop at McDonald’s on the way home from Whole Foods, their environmentally responsible, because reusable, shopping bags overflowing with kale.

PUBLIC FORUM

A poor example To the editor: The Legislature has decided, but how?

The budget is underfunded because of big tax breaks recently, so resort to the “largest tax increase” to cover deficit.

Don’t question the cause: the tax break.

Gun owners’ rights should allow guns on campus. Some “nut” might just be out there and shoot the quarterback. (Athletic department doesn’t have money for armor suits.)

The Supreme Court questions or rejects plan for school funding, so put through a “simplified plan” without considering unique factors. (And threaten the court’s budget and system for appointments.)

Is Kansas a model for other states — to learn what not to do?

Don Conrad, Lawrence

Restroom access To the editor: Kansas University has already implemented gender-neutral restrooms for university students. KU has been remarkably helpful in providing accommodations for its LGBT students and should be seen as a model for all other public universities.

Access to gender-neutral bathrooms on college campuses should be required at every public university in the country. Although it should be a given right for all transgender persons to use any public restroom based on the gender they identify with, forcing society to be accepting of all transgender individuals

is impossible. The first step in creating a better quality of life for transgender individuals is allowing college students access to gender-neutral bathrooms if ever they feel uncomfortable or unsafe using a single-gender bathroom.

Education over transgender issues is relatively new. More and more transgender individuals have come out of hiding because western society has been more accepting of transgender individuals than it was 30 years ago.

However, many transgender individuals continue to feel unsafe in their work or school environments, and their biological needs such as using the bathroom have been ignored out of fear of physical or verbal harm.

In a study by the Williams Institute, 70 percent of transgender individuals have experienced some sort of negative reaction when using a public restroom; 68 percent were told they were in the wrong facility and needed to leave, were ridiculed or verbally threatened. Some even had the police called on them.

Like everyone else, transgender persons deserve to use restrooms with assurances of their safety and dignity.

Harmful spray

my tomato plant, oak tree and blackberry plant. I live in a densely populated neighborhood.

Does Kansas have any laws regarding lawn herbicide applications in densely populated residential areas where there is no buffer zone? There need to be some laws to let the nearby homeowners know when these spray applications are done in the neighborhood. Harm to my vegetables is less of my concern than the adverse health effects from breathing the leftover vapors and also through soil or grass contact that one could get when working in the yard. The air that we breathe is for everyone to share. The use of weed spray is not a private business anymore.

When the home lawn maintenance is entrusted to a professional lawn maintenance business, the homeowner may not know what they apply on the lawn.

The spray applicators are not usually seen as they may be applying it during the workday when most people are not at home. But what about that evening, when the effect is still lingering in the soil and the air? The city need to have a website where citizens should be able to find when weed sprays are applied in close proximity to where they live.

his Eudora home Wednesday after personnel at Wal-Mart, 3300 Iowa St., told officers the man left the store without paying for a flashlight.

When an employee followed Smiley out of the store and asked him to return inside, Smiley allegedly produced a pocketknife and “moved toward the employee in a threatening manner,” McKinley said.

After the alleged assault, the employee retreated inside the store, McKinley said, and Smiley left the parking lot in a vehicle.

Smiley was originally

in the court system.

“I always thought you would get it figured out,” Martin told Smiley. “This is a sad day.”

Smiley, who had appeared stoic throughout the sentencing hearing, began to cry after Martin’s comments.

Smiley’s attorney, Hatem Chahine, said drugs have played a significant role in his client’s past decisions. Smiley apologized to the court for his behavior.

Martin, following plea negotiations and Kansas Sentencing Guidelines based on Smiley’s criminal history, sentenced Smiley to 23 months in prison. He has 84 days of time served toward that sentence.

After his release, he will have to be on supervised release, or parole, for 12 months.

MOVE OVER, HAMILTON! Treasury seeks public input on $10 bill Gregory Korte USA TODAY

WASHINGTON A woman will appear on the $10 bill beginning in 2020, the Treasury Department said Wednesday.

Just which woman is up to you.

Legally, the decision belongs to Jack Lew, but the Treasury secretary said he’s seeking public input on which female historical figure should appear on U.S. paper currency for the first time in 119 years.

“We’re going to spend a lot of

time this summer listening to people,” Lew said. A decision could come this fall.

Even then, it will take nearly five years for the new bill to see circulation. That’s because of the intricate planning for a redesign that will incorporate new anticounterfeit measures and tactile features for the blind.

Even then, Alexander Hamilton isn’t going away.

The first Treasury secretary played a leading role in developing the nation’s financial system, and will remain — either on the reverse side or in a separate series of bills. Also, the 1.7 billion $10 bills now in circulation will probably last an additional 10 years.

The move spares Andrew Jackson, the 19th-century Democrat who occupies the $20 bill. This year, an online petition urged the administration to replace Jackson with abolitionist Harriet Tubman by 2020, the 100th anniversary of the constitutional amendment giving women the right to vote.

Lew said the primary consideration was the security of the currency — and the $10 bill was next in line for an upgrade.

Lew said the planning began even before he arrived at the Treasury in 2013.

President Obama endorsed the idea for a woman on paper currency last year, calling it “a pretty good idea.”

If Americans skew less Christian, the GOP faces challenge Rick Hampson USA TODAY

If the U.S. population is becoming less and less Christian, why does the Republican presidential campaign sometimes feel like a revival meeting?

Last month, Jeb Bush became the latest GOP hopeful to make the pilgrimage to Liberty University, the world’s largest evangelical Christian school, where Sen. Ted Cruz announced his candidacy in March.

And this week, a baker’s dozen of declared and potential Republican presidential candidates address the Faith & Freedom Coalition, which is trying to mobilize the conservative evangelical vote.

Timothy Head, the coalition director, says he didn’t even have to invite candidates to the Road to Majority Conference in Washington: “People contacted us — ‘Can I come?’ ” Yet just last month the Pew Research Center released a survey showing that the percentage

Meanwhile, those who report no religious affiliation — “nones” — are increasing their share of the body politic.

And Americans’ confidence in organized religion, which has fallen dramatically over the past four decades, hit an all-time low this year of 42%, according to a Gallup poll released Wednesday.

Carriers may have to open up about ‘unlimited’ limits Roger Yu

USA TODAY

Wireless carriers may have to get over their reluctance to tell you that you can’t have it all.

The Federal Communications Commission’s proposed $100 million fine of AT&T, announced Wednesday, could signal a change in how the industry discloses its “unlimited” plans that remain popular among users.

The agency, which has been aggressive in enforcement of proconsumer policies under Chairman Tom Wheeler, says AT&T will have to pay the fine — the largest proposed by the FCC — for misleading customers about its “unlimited” mobile data plans.

The FCC alleges that the carrier “severely” slowed the data speeds for unlimited data customers if they used more than about 5 gigabytes during a month. The slowdowns were so severe they made using mobile apps difficult or impossible, said an FCC official, who requested anonymity to freely discuss the agency’s actions.

AT&T no longer sells unlimited plans to new customers, but those who subscribed to the plans when they were on the market can continue to claim their right to use as much data as they want.

AT&T has 30 days to respond.

The FCC will review the response and make its final decision.

AT&T and the FCC declined to say how many AT&T customers have the unlimited plans. An investor note produced by AT&T indicates about 13% of smartphone customers — or 7.4 million — are not on its usage-based plans.

“Consumers who are directly impacted now have redress,” said Harold Feld, senior vice president of consumer advocacy group Public Knowledge. “More broadly, carriers will be a lot more careful about how they market these things.”

AT&T said it “will vigorously dispute the FCC’s assertions,” adding that its disclosure has been adequate. “We have been fully transparent with our customers, providing notice in multiple ways and going well beyond the FCC’s disclosure requirements,” it said.

In a note posted on its website, dated July 29, 2011, AT&T told customers that smartphone customers with unlimited data plans “may experience reduced speeds once their usage in a billing cycle reaches the level that puts them among the top 5% of heaviest data users.”

Moon dust will fill in astronaut’s footprints ‘in due time’ Comet tails kick up a hazy veil of particles Traci Watson

Special to USA TODAY

Scientists have discovered a lopsided cloud of moon dust hovering over that shining orb in the night sky.

Each speck of dust hangs above the moon for only a few minutes before showering back onto the surface. But the nimbus continually replenishes, forming a permanent feature.

The pattern of dust falling back

to its home “in due time … will fill in craters,” says the University of Colorado, Boulder’s Mihaly Horanyi, who led the team that found the dust cloud. “Eventually this will erase the footprints of the astronauts.”

The moon wears this hazy veil thanks to the comet dust that speckles the solar system. When dust from a comet’s tail slams into the moon, the collision kicks up thousands of particles of moon dust, carrying them high above their resting place on the lunar surface, Horanyi says.

From near the moon’s surface to more than 70 miles up, the cloud tops out at only 260 pounds

Buzz Aldrin’s footprints on the moon may eventually be filled by dust.

of dust. But the rise and fall of all those dust grains helps form the moon’s character, Horanyi says.

The team’s findings stem from data collected by NASA’s LADEE spaceship, which reached the moon in 2013. The study appears in this week’s Nature.

Though LADEE managed to find microscopic specks of dust, it did not find the answer to a lunar mystery dating back nearly 50 years. Many Apollo astronauts orbiting the moon reported a strange glow on the lunar horizon. One of the Apollo 17 astronauts even took pen to paper to sketch what he labeled “definite linear streamers” of light out his

spacecraft’s window.

The strange sightings have been attributed to light bouncing off dust above the moon, but the phenomenon has remained — and likely will remain — controversial. Though LADEE found dust, it did not find the dense dust cloud needed to account for the Apollo observations.

Scientific scrutiny of the moon’s dust will continue, but without LADEE’s help. In 2014, the spacecraft, running low on fuel, was deliberately steered into the lunar surface at high speed.

Now, after a frenzied career of dust research, LADEE has found eternal rest in a handful of dust.

A different kind of loss for Cleveland Robert Padavick USA TODAY

Another season, another stinging defeat for Cleveland.

But for Cleveland natives like me, this time the sting feels a bit different.

The Cavaliers were never supposed to be here. Not yet, not with such an injury-riddled team. Make no mistake: The Cavs’ playoff run was heroic, culminating in a six-game fight in the NBA Finals against the very strong Golden State Warriors.

Today, Cavs fans in Cleveland and around the world are celebrating LeBron James and the unlikely cast of characters that scrapped and clawed to the end.

Still, they fell short. And so the championship drought in Cleveland endures.

The Browns won championships in the ’50s and ’60s, but that was before the NFL established the Super Bowl, so everyone knows those don’t count.

That makes the 1948 Indians the most recent Cleveland sports team to win a proper championship.

ANGELO MERENDINO, GETTY IMAGES

Cavaliers fans react to the team losing in the NBA Finals Game 6. Cleveland teams haven’t won a title since 1948.

1948. Three years after the end of World War II. My grandparents traveled from Youngstown to Cleveland to celebrate their honeymoon, taking in one of the games at the old Cleveland Municipal Stadium.

By now, the lore of Cleveland sports failures is well-established. The Drive. The Shot. The Decision. The moving vans leaving the Cleveland stadium under the cover of night, headed for Baltimore. If none of this rings a bell, Google it for the quick an-

The Cavs’ loss in the NBA Finals was not the typical Cleveland loss. … (They) made a run against all odds and almost pulled it off.

swer. Or if you want the 10-hour, in-depth analysis, buy any Clevelander a beer. Because these moments are etched into our psyche, carried as a sort of perverse badge of honor.

We are from Cleveland: a hardworking town, seemingly perpetually down on its luck.

Things are supposed to be this way. And yet, Cleveland sports fans carry on with fierce loyalty — or, some would say, blind devotion. My best friend from high school has Browns’ quarterback Bernie Kosar’s 1986 Topps rookie card tattooed on his arm. Full size, full color. It is glorious and will remain so, whether the Browns ever win a Super Bowl or stay mediocre forever.

You could excuse most Clevelanders for thinking the latter more likely. But a curious thing is happening. Today Cleveland fans feel, dare I say, good — if my Facebook feed is any indication.

A couple examples of chatter I’m seeing from my friends: “Be thankful we got to where we did. The Cavs have been a thrill and a joy, that’s all.”

“Good season boys. Gave ’em all they could handle without two of our top 3 players. Congrats to the ‘long suffering’ fans of Golden State — as if you had any clue what that’s actually

like.”

Don’t get me wrong; this still stings. There is plenty of dejection out there. A Cleveland team came so close — only to lose.

Again. But this time it’s not allout dejection. There is pride and a glimmer of real, tangible hope.

Why? Because the Cavs’ loss in the NBA Finals was not the typical Cleveland loss, not a heartbreaking buzzer beater, not a fumble on the two-yard line with the game on the line. The Cavs, in this first season of LeBron II, made a run against all odds and almost pulled it off.

The analysis for next season is already in full swing: What will LeBron do? Will Kevin Love stay? I defer to my much more qualified colleagues at USA TODAY Sports for answers to those questions.

All I know is that today, Cleveland rocks. It always has, but thanks to this Cavs team, there is a bit more hope that a Cleveland team may actually win a championship. And I can only imagine the collective emotional release that will erupt from Cleveland when it does.

are far more likely to vote Democratic — in 2012, Barack Obama got 70% of religiously unaffiliated voters, compared with 26% for Mitt Romney — and skew liberal on issues such as same-sex marriage, abortion and legalization of marijuana.

Conversely, in recent general elections three in four evangelicals have gone Republican. So on the GOP campaign trail, it still seems like 2006. That’s when Sen. John McCain — who in his previous presidential campaign had called Liberty’s fundamentalist founder, the Rev. Jerry Falwell, an agent of intolerance — had to come to the school to mend fences with evangelicals.

A close look at nones suggests two things: So far, they haven’t changed U.S. religious politics very much, but in time they are going to change them profoundly.

The first is true because, despite their growing numbers, they don’t vote a lot. They now are 23% of the general population, but in 2008 and 2012 accounted for only 12% of the electorate.

Head, of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, says the Pew data has been “misinterpreted,” because some people who were never particularly religious now feel free to admit it to pollsters; earlier statistics on church affiliation were artificially inflated by fence-sitters who’ve now jumped off.

“Many of the nones were never engaged to begin with,” he says.

“Their loss doesn’t worry me politically.”

What about the many younger nones who were never on the fence? That’s just society, Head says — increasingly transient and averse to joining.

Evangelicals, on the other hand, are big voters. And the broad decline in Christian affiliation is concentrated among nonevangelical “mainline” Protestants (Episcopalians, Lutherans, Methodists, etc.) and Catholics.

Since 2007, evangelicals’ share of the population shrank by only about 1 percentage point.

So they remain a potent force, as evidenced by a string of victories in 2014. A Winthrop University poll this year found that 60% of GOP voters in South Carolina, which has a key early primary in 2016, identified themselves as born-again or evangelical Protestants.

ONE NATION UNDER ...

GROWING ISSUE FOR GOP

But for Republican candidates hoping to actually reach the White House, evangelical clout creates a dilemma that will only get tougher.

Nones, despite their sketchy voting record, are relatively young, increase by the day and may be more apt to vote as they age. And not only are they less likely to agree with conservatives on social issues, they are less comfortable than born-agains with the mixing of religion and partisan politics.

Democrats, including Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, tried in vain to reach moderate evangelicals in the 2008 campaign. tion of Church and State, says some nones are even beginning to resent the “traditional God-talk” in which most mainstream candidates indulge — “My favorite book? Why, the Bible!”

“When they heard that, most (secular voters) have shrugged and moved on,” he says. “But some get offended, and their numbers are increasing.”

So a Republican candidate must execute a tricky pivot: appeal to the religious right in the primary and to a broader, more secular constituency in the general election. Although pivoting is as old as politics, it becomes more wrenching as nones wax and evangelicals slowly wane.

Consider Jeb Bush at Liberty University. On one hand, his message was well-suited to his audience. He stressed the importance of religious freedom from government, which has become a vital concern for the religious right with the widespread legalization of same-sex marriage.

Equally important was what he did not say — including anything about gay marriage per se.

“Many of the nones were never engaged to begin with. Their loss doesn’t worry me politically.”

Timothy Head, Faith & Freedom Coalition director

Hartford, Conn., says this could allow Bush, should he find himself in a general election seeking voters who are not conservative evangelicals, to say that when he went to Liberty, he did not pander. But such hedging undermines Bush’s appeal to primary voters — witness what Silk calls the tepid response to the Liberty address from evangelicals.

A PARTY OF NONES

What about the Democrats? After presidential nominee John Kerry’s loss to George W. Bush in 2004, it seemed the party had “a God problem.”

“They thought, ‘America is a religious country and we need to be in touch with that,’ ” says Silk.

The party, including the Hilla-

ry Clinton and Barack Obama campaigns, tried to reach moderate evangelicals in 2008, but eventually concluded it was a lost cause, Silk says.

For Obama, religion caused several headaches. His Chicago pastor, Jeremiah Wright, sermonized that 9/11 was a case of “chickens coming home to roost.”

And Obama’s remark that fiscal woes led people “to cling to guns or religion” blew up in his face.

By the 2012 election, one in four Obama voters had no religious affiliation. And among Democrats today, Silk says, “political language is much less religious than it was eight years ago.”

Democratic front-runner Clinton has a solid religious backstory — mainline Methodist Protestant who, while in the youth group of her parish in suburban Chicago, worked in the inner city and babysat for Mexican farm workers’ kids. She has participated in a Washington prayer group and sometimes carries a Bible.

Clinton has talked publicly about her faith, although she once said that it “doesn’t come naturally to me.” But in her big campaign launch speech last week, aside from a reference to “our God-given potential” and the obligatory “God Bless America!” the Almighty was absent.

Politically, it may not matter all that much to a Democrat. In 1992, 60% of Bill Clinton voters were white Christians (black Christians, including evangelicals, are solidly Democratic). In 2012, however, white Christians accounted for only 39% of Obama voters, compared with 81% of Mitt Romney’s.

For Republicans, the question is how much more the conservative evangelical vote — already high — can be mobilized. Enough, Head replies, so the rise of the nones shouldn’t matter: “Whether you’re fishing in an ocean of 100 million Christians or 85 million, you still only need another 3

So is America a Christian nation?

Depends on the age of whom you ask. According to a poll by the Public Religion Research Institute, 57% of those in the “Silent Generation” (just before the Baby Boom) say it is and always was, compared with 28% of Millennials (defined in its study as those born between 1980 and 2000).

Obama weighed in on the subject in 2006: “We are no longer a Christian nation — at least, not just. We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, and a Hindu nation and a nation of non-believers.”

That shout-out to nones notwithstanding, neither party is likely to overtly court atheists, agnostics or unaffiliateds for the time being, says Molly Worthen, a University of North Carolina historian of religion. But their rise is influencing the political debate.

She points to Russell Moore, president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, who has said that evangelical America is no longer the “moral majority” (which would merely need to mobilize support) but rather “a prophetic minority” (which needs to convert).

Worthen says that although religious fervor has gone up and down in America — more people attend church now than in 1776 — the nones are no fad.

“Look at Western Europe,” she says, where atheists and agnostics — including French President Francois Hollande — have won national elections. Sooner or later, ”that’s where we’re headed.”

Births up for first time since 2007 Better U.S. economy a factor, researchers say, in rate’s increase Jennifer A Calfas USA TODAY

Here’s another sign that the economy is rebounding: More people are having babies.

The rate of births among women ages 15 to 44 ticked up 1%

from 2013 to 2014. That’s the first increase since 2007, the beginning of the recession, according to a study released Wednesday by the National Center for Health Statistics.

The 3.98 million total births in 2014 were the most since 2010.

Carl Haub, a senior demographer for the Population Reference Bureau, said he wasn’t surprised by the federal findings.

Though the increase in fertility rate is small, he said, it could be

indicative of a shifting trend.

“The decline of the birthrate over the past few years can be attributed to the recession,” Haub told USA TODAY. The economic recession also led to social problems, including an increase in child abuse and suicide. A 2010 study found shaken baby syndrome, a deadly form of child abuse, rose as a result of the recession.

Laura Lindberg, principal research scientist at the Guttmach-

er Institute, said during the economic recession, women were less well-off.

“I think as people feel their paycheck is more stable, it feels like a safe environment to have a child in,” Lindberg said.

Job growth has been steadily increasing, including 223,000 jobs gained in April 2015 – the most recent statistic from the Department of Labor. And consumer spending on retail items grew in May, according to the Depart-

ment of Commerce last week.

Brady Hamilton, an author of the study, warned that researchers did not collect data on why people made certain decisions when considering having a child, adding that these findings are likely due to a “cacophony of factors.” The data came from all recorded birth certificates in the U.S. The new study also found teen birthrates hit a historic low, with 24.2 births per 1,000 women.

RUSSIA, U.S. RAMP UP ARSENALS IN EUROPE

The United States and Russia are dusting off Cold War rhetoric as they accuse each other of an dangerous arms buildup in Europe.

The new salvo of accusations was sparked this week when the U.S. confirmed plans to store heavy weapons in Eastern Europe as part of its promise to defend allies from Russian aggression. NATO, meanwhile, continues to ramp up efforts to get more nations to join its missile defense program.

Moscow responded by saying it would add 40 new long-range nuclear missiles to its naval fleet this year and by ratcheting up allegations the U.S. and NATO are plotting against Russia.

‘Hard perimeter’ near prison dropped; authorities fear trail is going cold John Bacon USA TODAY

The manhunt for two killers who vanished from a New York state prison 11 days ago was being scaled back Wednesday near the prison in Dannemora as authorities dealt with a trail that might have gone cold.

State police Maj. Charles Guess, who is leading the search, said Wednesday that about 200 officers were released back to their departments because a “hard perimeter” around the primary search area has been dropped. He said more than 600 federal, state and local officers and agents remain engaged in a

search effort that has drawn more than 1,400 leads.

Capt. Robert LaFountain of the New York State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation said authorities had no information that Richard Matt, 48, and David Sweat, 35, had been able to leave the area. But he acknowledged they might be long gone.

“We are going to pursue every lead, and we are going to locate the individuals and they will be apprehended,” he said at a news conference not far from the Clinton Correctional Facility.

More than 600 federal, state and local officers and agents remain engaged in a search effort that has drawn more than 1,400 leads. police said K9 units had picked up the scent of the suspects at different locations in a wooded area along the road.

State Police Superintendent Joseph D’Amico said in a statement that an extensive search indicated the inmates “may have

spent time there.” But he said the ground search in the immediate area will be “scaled back.” Officers who had manned the road were being moved, he said.

Hundreds of troopers, forest rangers, corrections officers, the FBI, U.S. Marshals, Customs officers, the Clinton, Franklin and Essex County Sheriff Departments and the Plattsburgh Police Department have searched more than 16 square miles, D’Amico said.

Authorities also released “progression photos” of what the inmates might look like now.

“All available assets continue to be deployed around the clock, including K9 and aviation units,” D’Amico said.

Democrats on the special House committee investigating the 2012 Benghazi terror attacks accused Republicans on the committee Wednesday of violating their own rules by selectively releasing certain evidence before the investigation is complete.

The five Democrats, led by Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, wrote to the committee’s chairman, Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., asking Republicans to release a transcript of Tuesday’s deposition of Sidney Blumenthal, not just the emails he provided.

Blumenthal is a close confidant of former secretary of State Hillary Clinton, whose conduct surrounding the Benghazi attacks is a top focus of the GOP-led investigation. The attacks killed four Americans.

Revamped pro-Clinton PAC playing catchup New leaders know fundraising far behind what GOP backers have already committed Fredreka Schouten @fschouten USA TODAY

WASHINGTON After a tumultuous few months, officials with a super PAC pushing Hillary Clinton’s White House candidacy have installed new leaders and are urging the Democratic Party’s biggest donors to pony up campaign cash — fast.

“Campaigns are becoming year-round efforts,” said Guy Cecil, co-chairman of the pro-Clinton super PAC Priorities USA Action.

“Waiting until there is a nominee is waiting too long.”

That doesn’t mean the super PAC will come close to matching the sums already flowing to

groups aligned with some Republican contenders in the presidential field. Priorities is expected to collect between $10 million and $15 million in donations through the end of June, according to a person familiar with the group’s fundraising efforts who was not authorized to discuss the figures publicly.

Super PACs can raise unlimited amounts of money from individuals, corporations and unions but are barred from coordinating their spending with candidates.

Cecil, who served as Clinton’s political director during the 2008 campaign, formally moved to the super PAC this month. He joined former Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm and Jim Messina, President Obama’s 2012 campaign

Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton addresses supporters Wednesday at Trident Tech in North Charleston, S.C. manager, at the board’s helm. Cecil also serves as the super PAC’s chief strategist.

Last week, Anne Caprara, a former top official at EMILY’s List who worked with Cecil at the

Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, became Priorities’ executive director. David Brock has rejoined Priorities’ board after resigning in February amid a public dispute over fundraising tactics.

Super PACs can raise unlimited amounts of money from individuals, corporations and unions but are barred from coordinating their spending with candidates.

The reorganization, Clinton’s stepped-up campaign activity and the growing recognition that Priorities will serve as the main proClinton super PAC are helping to open contributors’ doors, Cecil said. “People are proactively asking us how they can help, and it’s much easier getting meetings.”

WASHINGTON Citing an improving economy, the Federal Reserve signaled Wednesday it’s on track to raise historically low interest rates as early as September, but that rates are likely to climb more gradually than it previously anticipated.

In a statement after a two-day meeting, Fed policymakers didn’t explicitly state when they plan to boost the central bank’s benchmark rate for the first time since 2006. Although Fed officials have said they expect to act this year,

The twin South Korean brands, Kia and Hyundai, have moved to the top of the pack in the latest J.D. Power and Associates Initial Quality Study, the most closely watched gauge of quality in auto manufacturing.

The Kia brand ranked second, behind Porsche, which took first for the third year in a row. And the Hyundai brand moved up to fourth place, behind third-place Jaguar. Both Kia and Hyundai are owned by the same company, Hyundai.

“We believe the J.D. Power report leaves no doubt that Kia builds world-class vehicles, and the results are especially gratifying as the IQS study truly reflects the voice of our customers,” says Michael Sprague, executive vice president of Kia Motors America.

The ranking represents a turnabout from the many years in which Japanese brands have dominated the listings. Overall, Power says Japanese brands now collectively are below the industry average for the first time in 29 years. The highest Japanese brand is now Nissan’s Infiniti in fifth place, up from below average last year.

“For so long, Japanese brands have been viewed by many as the gold standard in vehicle quality,” says Renee Stephens, a Power vice president, in a statement.

quarter.” It added that job gains have “picked up,” household spending has been “moderate” and housing “has shown some improvement” — all upgrades over its previous assessment in March.

And it said slack in the labor market, such as the large ranks of the long-term unemployed and part-time workers who prefer full-time jobs, “diminished somewhat.”

Fed officials, though, reiterated that they will hike rates only after seeing continued improvement in the labor market and being “reasonably confident” that unusually low inflation will head toward their annual 2% target by next year. Yellen said there are signs inflation could soon edge up.

“There has been some progress in the sense that energy prices appear to have stabilized,” she said.

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen speaks to the media Wednesday after the meeting in Washington.

the statement reiterated that the precise timing will depend on the economy’s performance in coming months.

“It would be wrong if we were to provide you a road map,” Fed Chair Janet Yellen said at a news conference after the statement was released.

But Fed policymakers continue to expect the federal funds rate to rise from 0.125% to 0.625% by the end of the year, in line with their median estimate in March. Economists have said there almost certainly would have to be two rate hikes to reach that level, with the first likely coming in September.

The Fed depicted an economy that largely has emerged from a first-quarter slump. Its statement said “economic activity has been expanding moderately after having changed little during the first

continue to make improvements, we’re seeing other brands, most notably Korean makes, really accelerating the rate of improvement.”

Detroit’s Big 3 fared generally well. Chevrolet placed highest among traditional U.S. brands at seventh, followed by Ford’s Lincoln in eighth. Both were ahead of Lexus and Toyota, which placed ninth and 10th.

The index is based on responses from 84,000 drivers who have bought or leased a 2015 car or truck model. It is based on defects or problems in the first 90 days of ownership. Another Power study covers how vehicles hold up in the longer term.

Overall, the study finds that cars are getting better. There was a 3% improvement in this year’s study compared to last year. That translates to the finding of 112 problems per 100 cars, down from 116.

At the opposite end of the quality scale, Fiat was the worst car for quality, followed by Daimler’s Smart car and the Chrysler brand.

Automakers that fared poorly were often tripped up by balky or complicated infotainment systems that frustrated owners. For the third year, Power says connectivity and entertainment systems were the biggest trouble spot. Buyers complained of phones that couldn’t be paired to the Bluetooth systems or voice recognition systems that didn’t understand them.

NEW YORK In a ruling that could significantly raise costs for ridehailing companies such as Uber and Lyft, the California Labor Commission ruled that a driver who filed a complaint against Uber Technologies was an employee, not an independent contractor.

The driver, Barbara Berwick, was awarded a mere $4,152 — chump change for Uber. But the technology giant is appealing the ruling because it could significantly increase the $40 billion start-up company’s costs.

Uber currently saddles its drivers with major vehicle costs — including the vehicle itself, maintenance, insurance and gas — by labeling its drivers independent contractors rather than employees. If Uber is forced to treat drivers as employees, it could bear a greater share of those costs, as well as Social Security, workers compensation and other benefits, experts said.

Since it was founded in 2009, Uber has held its drivers at arms length by claiming it merely provides the technology to match them with riders. But the California Labor Commission said Uber maintains a good deal of control over its drivers, which makes it more of an employer than “a neutral technological platform, designed simply to enable drivers and passengers to transact the business of transportation.”

DAVID RAMOS, GETTY IMAGES

Uber “is involved in every aspect of the operation,” including the fares drivers charge, the model of cars they drive and, to some extent, how often they work, the commission said. Drivers also cannot negotiate the portion of the fares they collect and share with Uber, the commission said.

“In light of the above, Plaintiff was Defendants’ employee,” the commission ruled.

The San Francisco start-up is appealing the ruling, according to documents filed with California state court in San Francisco.

The ruling “is non-binding and applies to a single driver,” Uber said in a statement. The company said the ruling contradicts a previous one by the same commission, which concluded in 2012 the driver “performed services as an independent contractor, and not as a bona fide employee.”

Berwick worked for Uber from July to September of last year.

The commission denied her claim for extra wages, but granted her claim for reimbursable expenses, including $3,622 for the 6,486 miles she drove on behalf of Uber, and $256 in toll charges.

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

The hourglass is almost empty for Greece, and Thursday’s meeting of eurozone finance ministers could likely mark the last-ditch effort for Athens to get a bailout deal done with its creditors before the end-of-month deadline.

The impasse has gotten its share of headlines, most which have ratcheted up the angst in markets. Last week, the International Monetary Fund suspended negotiations with Greece due to a “lack of progress.” Over the weekend talks between the two sides were unable to result in a deal.

And this week, despite more “11th-hour” negotiations involving both sides of the aisle, a deal remains elusive, making Thursday’s meeting of Euro finance

Stock split could create new opportunities Q: Is Under Armour anti-investor?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Under Armour this week announced plans to be the latest company to use a stock split as a way for its founder to maintain control. Investors are typically willing to look past these arrangements — as long as the company continues to perform.

The maker of athletic wear Monday said it plans to effectively issue a twofor-one stock split. But instead of a straight split, the company will give a newly minted Class C stock to holders of the Class A and Class B shares.

The Class A shares go to regular investors while Class B come with 10-for-1 voting powers and are awarded to CEO and founder Kevin Plank.

The move gives Under Armour new stock it can use as currency to do deals and satisfy employee stock option programs — while preserving Plank’s control of the company. The dual-stock program was about to expire as Plank’s percentage of outstanding shares has fallen to 15%. Plank currently owns about 16% of the shares outstanding.

Such arrangements aren’t investors’ favorites. Analysts, though, still rate Under Armour “outperform” and see the stock being worth 1% higher in 18 months. If the stock overdelivers, investors will deal with it.

BOBBY BANK, WIREIMAGE

@PatRyanWrites USA TODAY NEW YORK She’s been stuck behind bars for three seasons of Orange Is the New Black, but Taylor Schilling is ready to make her big-screen jailbreak.

In offbeat sex comedy The Overnight (opening Friday in New York and Los Angeles, expanding June 26), Schilling plays one half of a married couple (with Adam Scott) whose lives are turned upside down when a freewheeling husband and wife (Jason Schwartzman and Judith Godrèche) invite them over for dinner. What starts as a few glasses of wine escalates into much more once their kids are tucked into bed, and the bongs, genitals and secrets are free to come out.

“It was really exciting to me, this idea of taking this story that has parts that are raunchy and wild, and telling it through the lens of something raw and very loving,” says Schilling, 30.

Produced by Mark Duplass and Scott, The Overnight made a splash at Sundance Film Festival for, among other things, its jawdropping nudity. But Schilling was drawn to the “kind core” of filmmaker Patrick Brice’s script.

The film was shot in just 10 nights at a house in the Hollywood Hills, which gave the set a wonky, secluded atmosphere much like the one on screen.

“We’d be shooting at 4 in the morning,” Schilling says. “It really added to the strangeness and there was a camaraderie to it.”

It was a world away from the massive production of Netflix smash Orange, which returned to the streaming service last weekend. In the new episodes, Schilling’s pernicious inmate starts a black-market business selling used panties and gets mixed up in

a love triangle with her ex-girlfriend (Laura Prepon) and a new jailbird (Ruby Rose).

“Her life was very status quo and now she’s really seeing a lot of shades of gray,” Schilling says.

“She’s learning that pleasure and pain coexist simultaneously, and she’s actually starting to enjoy that. There’s a lightness to it where she’s investigating some new parts of herself with glee.”

Schilling has earned an Emmy Award nomination and two Golden Globes nods for her TV turn.

Though her film work has been filled with critical duds (Nicholas Sparks romance The Lucky One and Atlas Shrugged: Part One), The Overnight has so far been embraced, with a 92% approval rating on review aggregate site RottenTomatoes.com.

It could signal a new chapter in Schilling’s career moving forward, as she hopes to maintain a steady balance between big- and small-screen projects (she hasn’t signed on for her next movie, although Orange already is renewed for a fourth season).

“My hope is that I can continue to bridge both worlds, because the experiences are so vastly different for me,” Schilling says.

“That’s exactly where I hope I am for a long time.”

Simmons brings his bad to ‘Panda’ New trailer, new villain and new moves

TRAILER PREMIERE LIFE.USA TODAY.COM

Watch the first teaser trailer at noon ET.

Bryan Alexander @BryAlexand USA TODAY

J.K. Simmons is going into beast mode in Kung Fu Panda 3.

He’ll be voicing the villainous bull Kai in the next installment of DreamWorks Animation’s hit franchise (opening Jan. 29, 2016).

The first teaser trailer, out Thursday, shows a reunion between Po (Jack Black) and his father, Li (Bryan Cranston). But trouble looms when Kai hits the scene, voiced by the actor who has breathed life into some tough hombres onscreen.

Those would be Simmons’ Oscar-winning performances as fearsome jazz instructor Fletcher in Whiplash; The even more fearsome Vern Schillinger from Oz. And so on.

“I’ve played a variety of badasses in my career,” says Simmons, 60. “I do like to mix it up, playing different kinds of guys. Or, now, different kinds of beasts.”

Kai is Kung Fu Panda’s first supernatural villain, a paranormal threat to Po and the new pandas he has discovered (including the amorous Mei Mei, voiced

by Rebel Wilson).

DREAMWORKS ANIMATION

The baddie also has a serious beef with the kung fu warrior trainer Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) and the Furious Five warriors: Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Monkey (Jackie Chan), Mantis (Seth Rogen), Crane (David Cross) and Viper (Lucy Liu).

“Let’s just say Kai has been away. Now that’s he’s back, he’s not happy about life in general,” Simmons says. “One thing he finds when he returns is that pandas make him particularly unhappy.”

Kai has supernaturally strange horns and leather armor, and he uses two jade swords attached to long chains as his deadly weapons

J.K. Simmons taps his inner evil to voice the villainous Kai.

of choice. Simmons is still in the recording studio working with the evolving character. “There’s a lot of vocal stuff I’m throwing out there that’s somewhere between dialogue and animal growls when Kai snorts,” he says.

Simmons won’t reference his now infamous Whiplash line “Were you rushing or were you dragging?” in the film. But that menace sure helps for an angry bull.

“It can become a little Fletcher-esque, the screaming,” Simmons says. “The voice can get a little ragged at the end of the day when you are making strange animal noises that you don’t normally make.”

Directors Jennifer Yuh Nelson and Alessandro Carloni say Simmons is developing a villain who can also go for laughs.

“Kai wants revenge, and he’s a bitter, bitter guy,” Carloni says.

“But when he becomes vulnerable, J.K. can make him hilarious.”

And if he does need anger assistance, Simmons jokes, all he has to do is think of Black’s panda Po. “As much as I used the smug Miles Teller (in Whiplash), I now use flippant comic Jack Black as inspiration to raise my ire.”

Why it’s being called links: Grass: Chambers Bay was built entirely with fine fescue, on the tee boxes, the fairways and most notably, the putting surfaces.

Bragg, who naturally admits to being a bit homesick after being away for the first time — “There are times when you are laying in the dorm late at night you might have a dream missing home, my little sister,” he said — acknowledges it’s been a tough indoctrination into college basketball.

COMMENTARY

It’s going to be months before the NCAA decides if and how it’s going to penalize North Carolina for the academic fraud outlined in the Notice of Allegations released earlier this month. Even without official sanctions, the Tar Heels are already starting to pay the price.

Allisha Gray, the leading scorer on the women’s basketball team last season, was this week given permission to explore a transfer. Her reasoning was undisclosed, but the Notice of Allegations made it clear that whatever punishment North Carolina faces, the women’s basketball program is going to bear the brunt of it.

If Gray indeed transfers, she’ll be the third member of North Carolina’s 2013 recruiting class to leave the team, a class ranked No. 1 by ESPNW. National freshman of the year Diamond DeShields transferred to Tennessee in search of a better fit a year ago, and Jessica Washington left this spring seeking more playing time. Only Stephanie Mavunga is left.

Throw in assistant coach Ivory Latta, who recently left the staff to focus on her pro career, and the Carmichael Arena exit has gotten a workout. Their collective departures would gut a team that came within a game of the Final Four two years ago, reached the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament this season and now faces what figure to be very significant NCAA sanctions.

The NCAA has yet to drop the hammer, but women’s basketball is feeling the pain now — and that team is far from alone.

Women’s basketball is discovering now what the football and basketball teams have known for some time: Laboring under the threat and shadow of NCAA sanctions is almost as difficult as sanctions themselves.

Roy Williams this spring lamented his inability to get top prospects to visit the campus, let alone sign them, a staggering admission for a coach who at Kansas and North Carolina routinely landed the best players in the country. Kinston’s Brandon Ingram, the state’s top-ranked player, said the threat of sanctions was a significant factor in choosing Duke over North Carolina in April.

It was the latest recruiting miss for the Tar Heels, who don’t have a top-50 recruit for next season and only added a second commitment because he was released from his letter of intent to Virginia Commonwealth when Shaka Smart left. (Things are looking up for 2017, with top-10 prospect Jalek Felton already committed.)

Williams wasn’t named specifically in the Notice of Allegations, but the basketball program figured heavily in the supporting evidence, raising questions about what penalties it could face.

IN THIS PHOTO FROM AUG. 24, 2009, PHOTO, ROYALS MASCOT “SLUGGERRR” throws hot dogs into the crowd during a baseball game against the Cleveland Indians in Kansas City, Missouri.

Jury rules Royals, hot-dog target not at fault Kansas City, Mo. — Neither the Kansas City Royals nor a man who was struck in the eye with a foil-wrapped hot dog in 2009 were at fault, a western Missouri jury said Wednesday in a case seen as a challenge to the longheld “baseball rule.”

John Coomer, 54, of Overland Park, said he suffered permanent eye damage when the team’s lion mascot, Sluggerrr, whipped a 4-ounce hotdog behind his back and struck him in the eye at a sparsely attended September 2009 Royals game.

He has incurred tens of thousands of dollars in medical expenses after suffering a torn retina, Coomer said Wednesday after the ruling, and also said he wanted the team to be held liable for the reckless actions of its mascot.

“The reality is it’s not just specific for this particular case; it’s a big, big-picture thing going forward,” Coomer said.

The Royals argued that under the baseball rule, Coomer was responsible for paying attention to everything going on around him, whether that be foul balls flying into the stands or a hot dog tossed by the mascot.

The so-called baseball rule is a legal standard that protects teams from being sued over fan injuries caused by events on the field, court or rink. A partial victory for Coomer could have forced teams to rethink their promotions or take additional measures to keep spectators safe.

NBA

Warriors return, bask in win Oakland, Calif. — Stephen Curry came off the plane, lifted the Larry O’Brien Trophy as he walked down the mobile staircase and let the gold award shine in the California sun.

For the first time in 40 years, the NBA champions are back in the Bay Area.

With more than 100 team employees in yellow and blue shirts cheering them outside a private terminal, the Golden State Warriors were welcomed home to Oakland on Wednesday. The team spent Tuesday night in Cleveland — though the players didn’t really sleep — after beating LeBron James and the Cavaliers 105-97 in the Game 6 clincher.

“We just stuck to who we are, fought through some tough times in the playoffs. At the end of the day, when you’re holding the trophy, all the ups and downs are worth it,” said Curry, the NBA MVP. “We’ll remember this for the rest of our lives.”

Players, coaches and team employees soaked in the scene as much as they could.

As two helicopters hovered above the airport, the chartered flight received an escort from a police car and two fire trucks on the runway. Curry was the first player off the plane and was quickly joined by teammates on the staircase.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

ISU dismisses RB Syria Ames, Iowa — Iowa State running back Martinez Syria has been kicked off the team.

Cyclones coach Paul Rhoads says Syria has been dismissed for violating team policies.

Syria gained 47 yards on 20 carries as a true freshman last season. His dismissal further erodes the depth on one of Iowa State’s weakest positions.

Tyler Brown, who gained 109 yards as a freshman in 2014, and red-shirt freshman Mike Warren figure to compete for the starting job.

Early signing period tabled A decision to create an early signing period for college football has been put on hold until the entire recruiting process gets a comprehensive review.

At a meeting Wednesday of the Collegiate Commissioners Association in Asheville, North Carolina, FBS leaders decided to table for one year a proposed a 72-hour signing period for high school prospects in mid-December that would line up with the dates junior college players can sign.

The CCA administers the national letter of intent that recruits sign to make their oral commitments to a school binding. There has been talk about changing when football players should be allowed to sign for years. Supporters say it will allow players who have made up their minds to remove themselves from the hassles of being recruited and give college coaches the chance to concentrate on players who are truly undecided.

The early signing period would have gone into effect this season and started Dec. 16. The current signing period begins the Wednesday of the first full week of February.

UT to sell beer, wine Austin, Texas — The University of Texas will start selling beer and wine to fans at home football games beginning this fall.

Beer and wine were already sold at other sporting events, but Royal-Memorial Stadium had remained alcohol-free. The school announced the change Wednesday.

Athletic director Steve Patterson proposed alcohol sales last year, but the plan was nixed by former Chancellor Francisco Cigarroa.

New President Greg Fenves said on his first day on the job that he supported alcohol sales at football, and first-year Chancellor Bill McRaven agreed.

The Longhorns’ first home game next season at the stadium with a capacity of 100,000 people is Sept. 12 against Rice.

Texas finished 6-7 in 2014 in Charlie Strong’s first season.

Most important figure at US Open not even playing University Place, Wash. (ap) — Tiger Woods speaks of him in reverential tones.

No one has received more attention in the months leading up to the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay, mainly because of his reputation in this major over the last decade.

His name is Mike Davis, and he’s not even playing.

Davis is the executive director of the USGA, the man largely responsible for the U.S. Open coming to a golf course unlike any other in its 120-year history.

He has been setting up courses at the U.S. Open since 2006 at Winged

Foot, which was so tough that Geoff Ogilvy won without ever breaking par. Davis also was in charge of the U.S. Opens that produced the two lowest scores in championship history — Rory McIlroy at Congressional (268) and Martin Kaymer at Pinehurst No. 2 (271).

And now, Davis gets his hands on a course that allows for more options than ever.

“What we don’t know — none of the people in this room know and all the players — don’t know what Mike is going to do and when he’s going to do it,” Woods said.

“What tees he’s going to move up, what tees he’s

going to leave back. And to what pin locations?

We have a general idea.

But it’s unlike any other major championship I’ve ever had to prepare for, having to hit so many different tee shots.”

The golf course is always important, especially at majors that rotate around the country. What makes this U.S. Open so different is that Chambers Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photos Bay has been getting far more attention than the KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD DEVONTÉ GRAHAM SLIDES past center Hunter Mickelson during guys who will be playing it. a scrimmage at Bill Self’s Basketball Camp on Wednesday at Horejsi Center.

That figures to change today when the U.S. Open — the first held in the Pacific Northwest — gets started in what figures to be a dry week on the edge CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C of Puget Sound.

of the year, the grass rarely dies.

Chambers Bay is the first U.S. Open to be played with fine fescue as the primary grass on the putting surfaces, rather than the typical bent grass or poa annua. The only way to tell the difference between fairways and greens will be white dots delineating where the greens start.

“They’re definitely not the prettiest greens in the world, but no fescue greens are that pretty.

But it actually rolls a lot better than it looks,” Ryan Moore said.

Sand: Before it was a golf course, the property was a sand and gravel quarry that eventually became a giant sandbox for course designers.

There could not have been a better subsurface

Ryan Madson, you think, ‘OK, well, these guys had good careers, but do they have anything left,’” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “It was real evident in spring training early that they both had a lot left in their tank.”

Escobar tripled with the bases loaded in a four-run eighth. He also singled home a run in a three-run second. It was his third four-RBI game.

Lorenzo Cain, who homered the past two games in Milwaukee, tripled, doubled, walked twice, drove in a run and scored a run, extending his hitting streak to eight games. Cain’s triple in a three-run fifth scored Kendrys Morales.

With the victory, Ned Yost ties Whitey Herzog as the winningest manager in Royals’ history at 410 wins.

Right-hander Mike Fiers (3-7) took the loss, giving up six runs on eight hits and three walks in five innings.

to construct a links-style golf course that used fine fescue grass. Many of the sandy blowout areas still contain some of the original gravel mined from the site when it was a working quarry.

Location: Links courses, by nature, are generally situated where the water meets the land.

And here’s why Chambers Bay doesn’t meet the definition of a links course: Elevation: This factor distinctly separates Chambers Bay. Links courses are built on flatter dunes with mounding in places, but no major elevation changes. Chambers Bay is full of ups-and-downs, including elevated tee shots on Nos. 5, 9 and 14, and the uphill, rising shots needed to play holes Nos. 4, 7, 12 and 13. From the top tee on the par 3 ninth, the drop from tee to green is more than 100 feet.

“There’s more elevation change than any

“We just didn’t get much going all night,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. “Mike wasn’t sharp tonight.

They put good at-bats on you and put the ball in play. He only had two strikeouts, which is a low number for him.”

The Brewers have lost five straight.

Trainer’s room Brewers: OF Carlos Gomez, who sat out the previous two games with tightness in his right leg, was the DH and had two of the Brewers’ six hits.

Royals: LHP Danny Duffy (left biceps tendinitis) made a rehab start Wednesday for TripleA Omaha, throwing 40 strikes in 65 pitches in 32⁄3 innings against Iowa. He allowed two runs on three hits, including a home run, walked none, hit a batter and struck out six.

Royal sign top pick First-round draft pick RHP Ashe Russell signed with the Royals and will be assigned to their Burlington (North Carolina) club in the Appalachian League.

Open we’ve seen,” USGA executive director Mike Davis said.

Land: Chambers Bay was not simply placed upon the sandy property.

The dunes and mounds which define the routing of the holes were manmade with bulldozers during construction.

The tree: OK, so this might be nitpicking since the one tree on the course at Chambers Bay doesn’t even come into play. Among the courses for the final three majors this year — Chambers Bay, St. Andrews and Whistling Straits — Lone Fir is the only tree on the actual golf course.

But as Jones noted, the purist of links golf would not approve of that one towering tree.

“That tree has been a witness to everything that’s gone on here,” Jones said. “Somehow it survived the miners. It was struggling all of its life. Then it survived basically us.”

“I’ve learned a lot. I didn’t know there was that much to basketball,” Bragg said. “Everything is my weakness right now. I want to get better every day.”

He practices with the bigs — a group that includes seniors Perry Ellis, Jamari Traylor and Hunter Mickelson and junior Landen Lucas.

“It’s very tough, very intense,” Bragg said. “I’ve been getting pounded down low, not learning stuff, coach getting on me. It can be a pretty big challenge, but I managed to get through it (first week) and keep progressing more.

“They (older teammates) are getting me ready mentally. I’m going through what they went through their freshman and sophomore years, how coach can get on you, them telling me to stay positive. I love it,” he added of the support. “It’s like a family. The culture here is amazing.”

The 225-pound Bragg, who showed good touch on his jumper and ability to run the floor, knows his defense needs to improve.

“I have to pick up a lot.

Coming here with coach Self, he teaches angles.

It’s very hard to guard. I still can’t get adjusted to it yet. I’m learning, will keep progressing,” Bragg said.

Bragg said he enjoyed teaming with McLemore Wednesday. At one point, the 6-foot-5 McLemore tossed the ball off the backboard to a trailing Bragg, who couldn’t complete the slam dunk.

“He has a high motor.

He can shoot it real well,” Bragg said of McLemore.

“He kept saying to me, ‘Kid, pick and pop, pick and roll.’ He liked my shot.

“It’s more than a pickup game,” Bragg added of the 30-minute contest played in front of 600 screaming and footstomping campers. “You can learn from the guys, just take in knowledge, be a student of the game.

I love playing for the kids (campers), too.”

Selden, who had 21 points to Mason’s gamehigh 30, hit the game-winning shot. Selden drove the lane for a bucket that gave the Blue a one-point advantage with 30 seconds left.

“What game-winner?

Oh, no, that wasn’t real basketball. That wasn’t anything,” Selden said of the shot. Pressed about it,

KANSAS GUARD FRANK MASON III DRIVES to the basket for two of his game-high 30 points.

Selden did acknowledge: “At the end, under 10 seconds, under two minutes it turned into a real game.

We do whatever it takes to win because the competitor comes out in you.

You really just want to win the game.

“I feel good,” added Selden, who had 23 points in last week’s campers game. “My biggest thing is try to use my body more this year, not trying to use speed as much, slowing down. I’m trying to get down in weight a little bit,” added the 6-5, 230 pounder. l

Box score: BLUE (92): Frank Mason 30, Wayne Selden 21, Perry Ellis 14, Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk 9, Tyler Self 9, Devonté Graham 5, Landen Lucas 4.

RED (91): Ben McLemore 29, Carlton Bragg 18, Elijah Johnson 15, Sherron Collins 12, Hunter Mickelson 9, Lagerald Vick 6, Evan Manning 3. x-Red scoring is one point off. No official stats were kept. l

Traylor day to day: KU senior Jamari Traylor hurt his hip in practice Tuesday and did not play.

Self said an MRI showed no structural damage and he’s listed day-to-day. l

Classic is tonight: Brian Hanni’s Rock Chalk Roundball Classic, a KU basketball fundraiser which tonight features

KU football coach David Beaty, is set for 7 p.m. at Free State High’s gym.

Other players in the game include San Francisco Dons coach Rex Walters, plus Cole Aldrich (New York Knicks), McLemore (Sacramento Kings) and Travis Releford (Maccabi Kiryat Gat, Israel). Former KU forward T.J. Pugh, a doctor in Colorado, is slated to play, as well as Nick Bradford, Greg Dreiling, Jeff Hawkins, Elijah Johnson, Jordan Juenemann, Mario Little, Brady Morningstar, Sean Pearson, Mark Randall, Tyrel Reed, Wayne Simien, Conner Teahan, Tyshawn Taylor and Billy Thomas. TV personality Danni Boatright and former KU football player Brandon McAnderson also will play. Sherron Collins could be questionable, as he slipped and fell hard in Wednesday’s KU campers game and iced his left knee after the game. Tickets are available at the door or 23rd Street Brewery or AAA on Wanamaker in Topeka. l

Ben’s camp coming: Ben McLemore will hold a camp for youths (boys and girls 5-14, all skill levels) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Wednesday at Sports Pavilion Lawrence at Rock Chalk Park.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Cubs clobber Indians, 17-0 The Associated Press

Interleague Cubs 17, Indians 0 Cleveland — Kris Bryant had a grand slam, and Kyle Schwarber was 4-for-5, including his first major-league hit and RBI, and the Chicago Cubs hit four home runs to rout Cleveland on Wednesday night.

The Cubs scored seven times in the ninth inning, which ended with Indians position players Ryan Raburn and David Murphy pitching.

Schwarber, the fourth pick in last year’s draft who was called up Tuesday, tripled in the second to key a six-run inning and added an RBI single in the third when the Cubs scored four times.

Schwarber hit into a double play in the fourth and singled in the seventh. He added an infield hit in the ninth.

Cleveland used seven pitchers in the first eight innings before calling on Raburn, who was given a loud ovation by the crowd of 15,572.

Yankees 2, Marlins 1 New York — Alex Rodriguez singled twice to raise his career hits total to 2,997, Michael Pineda carried a no-hit bid into the seventh inning before allowing Christian Yelich’s home run, and the New York Yankees beat Miami.

On a night when Yankees manager Joe Girardi was spared having to decide whether to lift Pineda with a high pitch count and New York benefited from an overturned call at home plate that prevented the tying run in the eighth inning, A-Rod closed in on becoming the 29th player to reach the 3,000 mark.

Rays 5, Nationals 0 Washington — Steven Souza Jr. hit his 13th home run of the season, and Curt Casali blasted the first of his career to help Tampa Bay beat Washington.

Souza and Casali each had three hits, with Souza doing so while returning to his former home park.

Matt Andriese (2-1) pitched four shutout innings of relief for the AL East-leading Rays.

Reliever-turned-starter Steve Geltz got the first six outs in what manager Kevin Cash called a bullpen game.

Braves 5, Red Sox 2 Atlanta — Nick Markakis singled in the go-ahead run in the seventh inning, Pedro Ciriaco added a pair of RBI singles, and Atlanta beat struggling Boston.

The Red Sox, who began the night in last place and eight games out in the AL East, have dropped eight of nine overall and 11 of 12 on the road.

Red Sox manager John Farrell showed his frustration in the bottom of the seventh, getting ejected for arguing balls and strikes.
