Condo building in works for Vermont Street Town Talk I Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

thought my garden was doing well, but it is no match for the one that sits in the 800 block of Vermont Street.

That longtime downtown vegetable garden soon may have a $6 million, four-story office and residential building coming out of the ground.

Former Lawrence City Commissioner Bob Schumm is the longtime owner of the vacant lot, which is just south of the former Headmasters building. For years, he and others have grown vegetables there. Now, he’s filed plans at City Hall for a new build-

ing that would continue the trend of multistory, mixed-use buildings that encourage more people to live downtown.

As it currently stands, the project may add a new level of luxury living in downtown. Schumm said preliminary plans call for eight condo units

on the top two floors of the building. Those units would be about 1,800 to 1,900 square feet in size.

“They would be nice, large units,” Schumm said.

Schumm said the size may shrink in future versions of the plans. He said another option is to

All counties allowing same-sex marriage licenses Topeka (ap) — Same-sex couples could get marriage licenses in all 105 Kansas counties Tuesday, but the state wasn’t yet allowing gay and lesbian spouses to change their last names on driver’s licenses or file joint income tax returns.

Several officials said Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration is still studying the U.S. Supreme Court rul-

ing that declared same-sex marriage legal across the nation. The conservative Republican governor supports Kansas’ ban on gay marriage and has noted repeatedly that voters in 2005 overwhelmingly approved an amendment to the state constitution to reinforce it.

Brownback spokeswoman Eileen Hawley said the state will have to comply

to discriminate against gays and lesbians.

“How hard can this be?

It’s not rocket science,” Witt said. “The excuses coming from the administration are ridiculous and offensive.”

The first marriage license for a same-sex couple in Kansas was issued in October, after the Supreme Court

to collect were updated in April, and those reflected a significant reduction from the previous estimates in November.

Since April, though, revenues continued to fall short, including June revenues, which came in $22.5 million short of projections.

Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration tried to put the numbers in a positive light, noting that overall, revenues still grew by nearly $70 million over the previous year.

“While receipts in June were below estimates, we are pleased that the fiscal year to date receipts were less than 1 percent below estimates and outperformed last fiscal year,” Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan said in a statement Tuesday afternoon.

The biggest contributors to the June shortfall were lower-than-expected individual income taxes, which were off by $14.4 million, and sales taxes, which were short by $9.7 million.

On the positive side, liquor enforcement taxes came in $2.7 million higher than expected. The state also collected $1.7 million more than expected in financial institution taxes.

The June shortfall leaves the state with a significantly smaller cash balance than it had planned for to start the new year.

At the end of its recordsetting 113-day session this year, the Kansas Legislature passed a budget and tax package based on the idea that the state would have about $73.2 million in the bank at the start of the new fiscal year.

Although a final accounting of the fiscal year won’t be completed for several more days, the June shortfall would appear to lower that ending balance to about $50.7 million.

Lawmakers also passed a $384 million tax increase for next year, mainly through higher sales and cigarette taxes, in order to fund the budget for the fiscal year that begins today.

Baldwin City residents aware of where the city’s tap water comes from probably paid more than casual interest to the Lawrence City Commission’s early 2016 budget discussions.

That’s because during a budget workshop last month the Lawrence City Commission was presented a proposal to raise that city’s water rates in 2016 and 2017.

In October 2012, Baldwin City and Lawrence negotiated a 40-year extension of Baldwin City’s agreement to the purchase water from its northern neighbor. The agreement tied Baldwin City’s wholesale water rate to the rate Lawrence charges its customers within that city.

The agreement reduced Baldwin City’s wholesale water rate by about 25 percent, setting the cost at $2.91 per 1,000 gallons.

The link in the negotiated extension between

wholesale water rates and those Lawrence charges its city customers would seem to indicate Lawrence will increase the cost of the water Baldwin City buys, but Baldwin City Administrator Chris Lowe said that wasn’t necessarily the case.

“They have the option in the contract not to pass on a rate increase,” he said.

Moreover, Baldwin City might not pass on to its customers any rate increase from Lawrence, Lowe said.

“I don’t know that we would pass on a penny-forpenny increase,” he said.

“The percentage increases they are looking at would put us at $3.43 per 1,000 gallons. That’s still puts us under what they had before the new contract.”

Nonetheless, Baldwin City water customers could very well see a rate increase within the next year. The big factor behind any rate increase would not be the cost of wholesale water but the plan to replace outdated 4-inch waterlines in the

old-town area at an estimated cost of $2 million, Lowe said.

The proposed Lawrence rate increase was a result of a rate study that city conducted. As it happens, Springsted Inc, Baldwin City’s financial advisor, is currently conducting a rate study for Baldwin City.

A similar rate study of the city’s wastewater department led the Baldwin City Council’s approval in April of an increase to city sewer rates. Lowe said the water rate study was taking longer because of the city’s obligation to negotiate any rate changes with the city of Wellsville, its largest customer. Wellsville uses 25 percent of the water Baldwin City purchases from Lawrence, Lowe said.

Officials of the two cities were to have their first meeting this week on the topic, Lowe said. The water rate study and any recommendation to raise rates would be ready for the City Council’s review in late summer or early fall, Lowe said.

— Kansas Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan The state will actually have much more than that in its account, however, because the State Finance Council agreed last week to issue $840 million in “certificates of indebtedness.” That’s a method the state uses to borrow money out of other funds in order to make sure it can meet cash flow needs out of the general fund throughout the year.

Those certificates must be repaid before the end of the next fiscal year.

Kansas House Democratic Leader Tom Burroughs, of Kansas City, reacted Tuesday by repeating a charge Democrats have been making for years: that the state’s tight budget is the direct result of the sweeping tax cuts that Brownback and the Republican-led Legislature enacted in 2012 and 2013.

“What should be of great concern to all Kansans is the effect this reckless decision by Brownback to stay the course is having on their personal pocketbook,” Burroughs said. “Citizens are now paying more and getting less from state government, and the outlook for the future remains bleak.”

But House Speaker Ray Merrick, R-Stilwell, said the report shows the state needs to be more efficient with the money it has.

“To help reach that goal, Republicans authorized an efficiency study to pinpoint smart and precise ways to ensure the state is providing services in the most productive and up-to-date way possible,” Merrick said.

In the face of an increasing number of people being held the Douglas County Jail, the need to expand is pressing, area law enforcement officials say, and the addition of mental health services could do much to alleviate pressure stemming from those rising numbers.

Some of the mental health facilities may include a mental health court, mental health diversion, a work release program, a day reporting center and additional use of electronic monitoring, said Mike Brouwer, re-entry director at the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.

These programs, in addition to easing crowding, could be used as an alternative to jail to better treat those in the Douglas County justice system who are seriously mentally ill, Brouwer said. “We’re exploring what the seriously mentally ill look like in our jail and

year. It also may not have to make immediate provisions to add another $50 million in school funding for the new fiscal year that starts today.

“We hold that the state has made the basic showing required to support its request for relief,” Chief Justice Lawton Nuss wrote in a one-page order issued shortly after 5 p.m.

Tuesday.

“Accordingly, this court stays the panel’s memorandum opinion and order of June 26 until our further order or the issuance of our mandate.”

Nuss said the court would set an expedited schedule for briefs and oral arguments on at least one part of the case dealing with “equalization aid” that subsidizes the budgets of districts with less property tax wealth.

Alan Rupe, one of the attorneys representing the plaintiffs in the case, said he was not surprised by the decision.

“As we suspected, the Supreme Court stayed the Panel’s Order pending its review of the issues on appeal,” Rupe said in an email statement. “The Court did acknowledge the need for swift resolution of the equity portion of our case, and indicated that an order will soon be issued outlining an expedited briefing schedule and setting an oral argument.”

But the Supreme Court’s order said nothing about the much larger issue at stake in the lawsuit: whether overall funding of public schools is adequate to meet the Kansas Constitution’s requirement for “suitable” funding of public schools.

In March, while the case was still pending before the panel in Shawnee County District Court,

government to regulate ditches or farm ponds,” Schmidt said in a statement released Tuesday. “This regulation grossly exceeds the authority granted to federal agencies by the Clean Water Act – authority that rightfully belongs to the states and that is limited by private property rights protected by the Constitution.”

The new rules, published in the Federal Register Monday, clarifiy the definition of “waters of the United States,” which are subject to regulation by the EPA and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The rules are set to take effect Aug. 28.

Traditionally, waters of the United States have included “navigable” waters that cross state lines or are used in interstate commerce. But the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled several times that many upstream waters and tributaries must also be regulated because they have a significant impact on downstream waters.

For its part, the EPA denies that the new rules impose any new regulatory hardship and it says they are merely a new interpretation of exist-

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Kansas lawmakers enacted a sweeping change to the state’s school funding system, repealing the perpupil funding formula that had been in place for 23 years and replacing it with a system of block grants.

In addition, the new law overhauled the way two other types of aid are distributed to local districts: the so-called “equalization aid” that subsidizes the local option budgets and capital outlay funds of local districts. That money is meant to equalize property taxes around the state so that districts with less property wealth can raise comparable amounts of money with comparable tax levies as wealthier districts.

Those changes took effect immediately, which meant that most districts, including Lawrence, received less money during the 2014-2015 school year than they anticipated when they wrote their budgets last August.

For the Lawrence school district, the changes meant a loss of about $1.9 million.

On Friday, though, the district court panel struck down those changes and issued an order reinstating the old funding formulas. It also ordered the state to immediately restore the funding that was cut under the new law. The Kansas State Department of Education estimated that amount at $49.6 million, although the plaintiffs in the case estimated it at closer to $54 million.

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt quickly appealed the ruling to the Kansas Supreme Court, and on Monday he asked the court to stay the district court’s order.

In his motion, Schmidt called the panel’s order “cynical, calculated and unfortunately ‘political,’” because it was issued less than an hour after the Kaning standards, based on “science, Supreme Court decisions ... and the agencies’ experience and technical expertise.”

“This rule not only maintains current statutory exemptions, it expands regulatory exclusions from the definition of ‘waters of the United States’ to make it clear that this rule does

sas Legislature formally ended its 2015 session. He also said the court had no constitutional authority to “revive” statutes that the Legislature had repealed, calling that move “unprecedented.”

But in a response brief filed Tuesday afternoon, the plaintiffs argued that the Supreme Court earlier had given the panel authority to craft a remedy if it found the Legislature had failed to comply with its previous order to fix problems it had found in the distribution of equalization aid.

Still, the larger issue at stake in the lawsuit is whether overall funding of public schools is constitutionally adequate.

In January 2013, the district court panel said it was not and ordered the Legislature to restore an estimated $450 million to $500 million in base perpupil funding that had been cut since the start of the Great Recession. But the Supreme Court later reversed that ruling and sent it back to the panel to be reconsidered using a different legal standard.

In December, following more hearings, the panel reaffirmed its earlier ruling. Then in March, the Legislature overhauled the school finance formula with the new block grant system.

Following another set of hearings in May, the panel again said that overall funding is unconstitutionally low, but it delayed ordering a remedy on that issue until it can be reviewed again by the Supreme Court.

The court’s order Tuesday granting the stay indicated the justices plan to review the equity issues on an expedited scale. But it did not indicate whether the adequacy issue would be taken up at the same time or handled later as a separate issue. not add any additional permitting requirements on agriculture,” the agency’s public notice states.

The other states involved in the suit are Georgia, West Virginia, Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, South Carolina, Utah and Wisconsin. The case was filed in U.S. District Court in Georgia.

Change of venue request denied in quadruple murder case

By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

Ottawa — Despite results of a 330-person survey showing that more than 90 percent of Franklin County residents surveyed believe the defendant in an Ottawa quadruple homicide is guilty “to some extent,” the man’s trial will remain in Franklin County, a judge ruled Tuesday afternoon.

Kyle Flack, 29, of Ottawa, is accused of killing Kaylie Bailey, 21, of Olathe; her 18-month-old daughter, Lana-Leigh; Andrew Adam Stout, 30, of Ottawa; and Steven Eugene White, 31, of Ottawa. Flack pleaded not guilty to charges of murder and rape after the four were found slain near Ottawa in the spring of Flack 2013.

Flack’s attorney, Tim Frieden, argued that media coverage of Flack’s ongoing pretrial court hearings had prejudiced potential jurors. Since Flack’s preliminary hearing more than a year ago, the Ottawa Herald has published 17 articles related to the Flack case and the Journal-World has published eight, Frieden said.

Frieden said that coverage is to blame for

Lee said. “I was really sorry to hear this complex is being redeveloped. I think many international students have the same feelings.”

The 283-unit Stouffer Place doesn’t have bells and whistles. Decor, even in remodeled buildings, is straightforward.

But its cheap rent and on-campus location kept it in demand.

Monthly rent last year was $491 for one-bedrooms, $550 for two-bedrooms, $721 for renovated two-bedrooms and $913 for three-bedrooms — and that included utilities, Grosshans said. He said two- and three-bedroom units were usually quickly filled by returning Stouffer residents, who had first dibs, moving up from smaller apartments.

Ali Rahmati, a doctoral student in physics from Iran, moved out of his one-bedroom apartment of three and a half years on Tuesday.

He moved from the Greens at Alvamar because Stouffer Place was cheaper and closer to campus, said Rahmati, who does not have a car. He also enjoyed the camaraderie of other international students he met there.

“It was comforting,” he said. “You’re basically around people that are internationals who are basically in the same situation, far from their families.”

Rahmati said he was moving to Campus View apartments off 23rd Street, where he plans to catch the bus to campus.

Stouffer Place also provided a community for kids.

Chris Anderson moved in four years ago with his son, now 6. The rent was cheap, he took his son to KU’s Hilltop Child Development Center next door, and he escaped the noise and partying common at other apartment complexes in this college town, he said.

Anderson’s girlfriend, Lauren Ripple, who lived with them at Stouffer, said she liked how all the kids could play together on green space and jungle gyms right outside the buildings.

“There’s a park in the

survey results that suggest that the large majority of a random sample of 330 Franklin County residents know about the Flack case and believe Flack to be at least somewhat guilty.

Research, rebuttals The defense hired Troy Comeau, an associate professor at Pittsburg State University, to conduct the survey, which found that 93 percent of respondents knew about the case with at most two promptings, and that 92.6 percent of respondents believe Flack is guilty to some extent. Comeau said the survey had an error margin of about 5.3 percent.

“What this tells us is that (the public is) receiving facts about the case,” Comeau said. “They are reading their newspapers.”

Franklin County Attorney Stephen Hunting wanted the case to stay in Ottawa. Hunting criticized the survey questions for not asking whether the respondents would be able to put aside their biases to fairly decide the case if selected as jurors. Hunting also said the media coverage has not been prejudicial to the extent that a

“

It was comforting. You’re basically around people that are internationals who are basically in the same situation, far from their families.”

— Ali Rahmati, doctoral student from Iran front yard,” she said.

“You don’t really find that anywhere else.”

Anderson, who just finished his undergraduate degree in chemistry, and Ripple, a microbiology major who hopes to transfer to another school, for now are moving to Overland Park, where their families live.

Ripple said she was actually a second-generation Stouffer Place resident. Her mom lived there as a newlywed in the 1970s and, even then, was attracted by the complex’s convenience.

KU’s long-term plans call for big changes to the hillside that’s home to Stouffer Place, and it does not include replacing family housing.

The area will eventually be home to new integrated science buildings, an open space tentatively dubbed Stouffer Green and some apartments for single students, according to the 2014-2024 Campus Master Plan.

Grosshans said anecdotally and through a survey and focus group process, Stouffer Place residents overwhelmingly cited the affordable rent as a top reason for living there.

But Stouffer Place buildings have come to the end of their useful life, he said, and the university would be unable to build new ones with comparably low rents.

“We definitely could not meet their price point on new construction,” he said.

Details on future apartments in the area aren’t set, Grosshans said. Those will depend on more study and how much space is left after science buildings are planned.

There’s no date set yet for razing Stouffer Place, he said.

For now, the buildings are vacant and will stay that way.

“

Media publicity alone never establishes prejudice, and that’s according to case law.

We’re talking about court documents with legalese. There’s no evidence to show there’s any prejudice.”

— Max Kautsch, attorney for the Ottawa Herald

“lynch mob” has formed for Flack, nor have there been “threats to blow up the jail.”

“The fact of the matter is that a quadruple homicide where four people were murdered, including an 18-month-old child, is going to make headlines,” Hunting said.

But based on the survey findings, Comeau said he felt it was “highly unlikely to find a jury that had not formed an opinion or knew facts of the case.”

Throughout court proceedings, media access has been limited. The court has sealed 68 documents, Franklin County District Judge Eric Godderz said, including subpoenas, DNA testing and jury questionnaires. The court also set out specific guidelines for media members to follow, including restrictions on recording, photography and technology.

Godderz ruled Tuesday after reviewing exhibits, including the Ottawa Herald and Journal-World articles, that

BRIEFLY Westar may save millions after ruling Wichita (ap) — Westar Energy says a U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on toxic emissions at power plants could save the company millions.

The Supreme Court ruled Monday that the Obama administration should have considered potential costs when it issued rules regulating toxic emissions from power plants.

Westar spokesman Brad Loveless says the utility already spent $16 million to bring its four coal-powered plants in Kansas, one of which is in Lawrence, into compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency’s mercuryreduction rules. The ruling delayed implementation of the regulations, although they are in force while a lower court reconsiders the issue.

The Wichita Eagle reports the court decision will — for now— save the utility $8 million on the project, plus another $5 million a year for supplies.

The utility will take no further action until the rules are clarified.

CORRECTION A story in Tuesday’s Journal-World incorrectly listed the number of people in the Douglas County Jail who match the description of seriously mentally ill and who may qualify for treatments alternative to jail. In 2016 there may be around 140 people in the Douglas County justice system, rather than just the jail, who may be classified as seriously mentally ill and qualify for alternative treatments.

the “magnitude and tone of coverage is limited” and there has been “no call to arms by the news media,” that media interference has not been “so pervasive that it requires a change of venue.”

Though he ruled with the prosecution, Godderz did make it clear in court Tuesday that he was not a fan of pretrial press coverage.

“This court is not particularly in favor of allowing the media to attend (court hearings),” Godderz said, “but because of the Supreme Court I have allowed the hearings to remain open.”

Sealed records The Ottawa Herald filed a motion to intervene last month for the court to release the 68 sealed documents to the public. The Ottawa Herald’s attorney, Max Kautsch, of Lawrence, argued Tuesday that the documents should be released because the defense and prosecution

could not show that the unsealing would cause pretrial prejudice.

“Media publicity alone never establishes prejudice, and that’s according to case law,” Kautsch said. “We’re talking about court documents with legalese. There’s no evidence to show there’s any prejudice.”

But Godderz said he believed that it is the court’s job to decide what information should be disseminated to protect Flack’s chances for a fair and impartial jury.

“It’s this court’s opinion that the media lacks the expertise nor the inclination to make the determination of what should or should not be publicized,” Godderz said.

Kautsch said that withholding the information “undersells Franklin County,” and makes “an assumption that voir dire,” or jury selection, is irrelevant. But with Flack’s jury trial set to begin Sept. 14, Godderz said it serves the justice system’s best interest to keep the documents sealed.

“It’s the court’s opinion to grant this petition would present a clear and present danger to the fairness of this case,” Godderz said. “Trial is just a short time away. There’s not a lot about the case

Jail CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Courthouse at which input was sought on jail population and mental health issues. The county is currently researching how to best react to rising inmate populations and a greater demand to provide mental health care services to people in the county justice system.

The project’s scope has yet to be precisely determined, but officials expect an expansion of the county jail and the construction of a separate intervention center, where nonviolent people can be diverted away from the jail for mental health crises or substance abuse problems.

At the meeting, hosted by county officials, a research team shared information about people booked into the jail.

Bobbie Huskey, a member of the research team, said 1,971 bookings were scrutinized over four nonconsecutive months, and 18 percent of those were classified as involving a seriously mentally ill person.

Projecting into 2016, Huskey said that on any given day, around 140 people within the Douglas County justice system could fit the description of seriously mentally ill

We’re in the business of corrections and helping people get better, and we need to know what is the right type of programming and space to achieve those goals.”

— County Commissioner Mike Gaughan and thus qualify for treatment alternatives to jail.

County Commissioner Mike Gaughan said such numbers illustrate a need for mental health facilities in the community but that more information is needed to define precisely what would be most beneficial.

“We’re in the business of corrections and helping people get better, and we need to know what is the right type of programming and space to achieve those goals,” Gaughan said.

David Johnson, CEO of Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, said he was also concerned — and hopeful — about the data.

“I think it clearly shows we’ve got reason to move forward and to put together a mix of what services might look like to the group of people that can be diverted (from jail),” he said.

that (is) widely known in this community.”

Possible delay There is a possibility that the trial won’t be starting so soon, though.

On Tuesday, the defense requested a continuance until April so that the attorneys can review evidence and conduct follow-up investigations.

The state said it “strongly opposes” the continuance because of the large amount of time that had passed since proceedings began. By Sept.

14, it will have been 18 months since Flack’s preliminary hearing. Godderz said he tended to agree, but would wait to make a decision until the next court date.

“My problem with this is that I remember arguing with counsel in chambers (months ago),” Godderz said. “I was dead-set against (setting the trial out until 2015.) I wanted to set it in 10 or 11 months.”

Godderz said he will take up the motion to continue again at a brief court hearing on July 17.

At that time, the prosecution and defense aim to have finalized jury instructions to present to the court, as well. The questionnaires are scheduled to be mailed out to potential jurors on July 20.

Those services shouldn’t be limited to those within the county’s justice system, however, Johnson said.

“I really think that having a 24/7 crisis facility will help divert people from the ER and really be able to provide qualitative improvements in the community,” he said.

Brouwer said those community improvements could certainly benefit the jail and affect any future expansion projects.

“If we utilize all of the alternatives or just some, it will impact our jail population in a positive way, but we’re still going to have a need to increase space,” Brouwer said.

“The original thought was to increase the jail by 150 to 200 beds, but what if we increase by half of that and utilize some of these alternatives?”

In April, about 20 officials from Douglas County government, law enforcement and health care agencies toured San Antonio’s Center for Health Care Services, a nationally respected mental health system in Texas that has kept the nonviolent mentally ill out of jail. The county has hosted a number of forums on the topic in the past several months and intends to study the issue further, although another meeting has not yet been scheduled.

Mother enables grown siblings’ lazy lifestyles Dear Annie: My father passed away many years ago and my mother remarried and moved to a vacation home. However, she still owns the house we grew up in and two of my siblings now live there for free. My sister is 60, and my brother is 46. Neither has worked for years.

I talk to my mother about it all the time, telling her she is not doing them any favors by allowing this to go on. Can you tell her what a horrible thing it is to enable two perfectly capable grown adults this way? My mother is 82. What will they do when she is gone? I have two other siblings and the three of us don’t take advantage of our mother this way. — Not Right Dear Not: We agree that this type of financial

enabling is a huge liability. But a good work ethic and accountability need to be instilled when young. Your mother may consider these two children to be incapable of working, and that her support is all that keeps them off the streets. She does it out of compassion and guilt. She isn’t asking us for advice, nor is she likely to take it, even if we point out the problems this will create when she is no longer in the picture.

‘Extant’ back with extra craziness Robots and aliens and cops!

Oh my! “Extant” (9 p.m., CBS) is back for a second helping.

And it has thrown subtlety out the window.

Not to give too much away, but Molly (Halle Berry) has been committed to a futuristic psych ward, where her drugs are dispensed by robots and much of her therapy is in the form of virtual reality sessions.

Sure beats Freudian analysis.

Seriously, she’s had a rough ride. She’s given birth to some kind of alien baby, blown up a spaceship and seen her robot son martyr himself.

What’s a mother to do?

And I’m not going to talk about some of the wrinkles that emerge in the first half-hour of the season opener. As Dorothy said in “The Wizard of Oz”: “People come and go so quickly here!” And by people, I’m including cyborgs, too. Let’s just say that this is hardly a product placement for the notion of self-driving cars.

It’s interesting to compare and contrast “Extant” with “Humans,” which debuted on AMC just last Sunday. Both take place in the near future, and the intersection of daily life and technology are creating a weird new definition of what it means to be human. And both explore the emotional bond between humans, particularly mothers, and artificial entities endowed with emotions.

While “Humans” affects a low-key and often humorous tone, “Extant” modulates between the sentimentality of a greeting card commercial and the shock and awe of a Michael Bay movie. I don’t think there’s one single hug in “Humans.”

They arrive with great frequency in “Extant,” along with SWAT teams.

The season opener sets up the arrival of J.D. Richter (Jeffrey Dean Morgan, “Grey’s Anatomy”), a 21st-century bounty hunter-private eye hired to find out the culprit behind a series of messy murders. Molly breaks out of the psych ward and insists on joining him because she, and only she, knows that these killings have an origin and a motive that is out of this world.

I’m not quite sure what Molly’s institutionalization is supposed to mean, except that it allows her to act “mad” in at least two meanings of the word.

Halle Berry in feisty mode is a tad more interesting than Berry as a vulnerable cosmic victim — but not by much.

Tonight’s other highlights O Margaret Cho and Holly Robinson-Peete appear on “Celebrity Wife Swap” (9 p.m., ABC).

O Elliot must decide between a new job and the secret Coney Island cabal on “Mr. Robot” (9 p.m., USA).

Your mother should have a legal will to minimize disputes about her property and money. It’s her decision, whether or not you agree. Your focus should be on forgiving all of them for what they are not, and then doing what you need to do in order to be sure that these siblings don’t become too great a financial burden on the rest of you.

Dear Annie: I would like to respond to “Pat,” who spends up to 12 hours a day helping her elderly mother at the nursing home and gets frustrated because other residents don’t receive as many visits from their family members.

My 82-year-old mother is in an assisted living residence in Florida. I am a young, widowed working mother, living 700 miles away. I am

Too successful?

Public school districts throughout Kansas have done what state lawmakers asked them to do, but the state isn’t holding up its end of the bargain.

T

he state’s efforts to expand vocational and technical education in Kansas high schools apparently have been a little too successful.

Under a program created in 2012, the state provides free tuition for high school students enrolled in certain job training courses at community or technical colleges. When the state’s new secretary of education visited Lawrence last month, he said that, in the last two years, the number of students in those programs has almost doubled. About 5,800 students took advantage of the tuition-free program in 2013, he said, and preliminary numbers for 2015 show the totals slightly above 10,000 students.

As a result of that increase, the state is running short of funds to pay the incentives it had promised to school districts as part of the program. Districts initially received $1,000 for each student who obtained an industry-recognized certificate in a high-demand field before he or she graduated from high school.

However, districts were just informed that the payments for this year would be closer to $450 per student.

In Lawrence, those incentive funds have been used to help students cover non-tuition costs such as books and fees associated with obtaining their certifications. The district also used some of the money to pay for expanded career and technical education programs. They were making those expenditures and plans based on the promised reimbursement of $1,000 per student; now they will receive less than half that amount.

The Lawrence district has fully embraced the push for more vocational and technical training and is scheduled to open its new College and Career Center this fall. It’s hard to tell how the reduced state reimbursement will affect the overall operation of that center or the expected enrollment of 120 students for this year. Students will still receive free tuition, but likely will be asked to pay more of their non-tuition costs, which could impact enrollment.

The reduced incentives for this program have to be discouraging for public school officials in Lawrence and across the state who were actively responding to direct state instructions to increase vocational and technical training for their students. They have done what lawmakers wanted, but now the state isn’t holding up its end of the bargain.

How much the reductions will hurt these training efforts remains to be seen, but it’s easy to see how this situation could make public school officials wary of future state incentive programs.

Intolerance is losing bet in America Washington — After the Supreme Court’s historic 1954 ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, Southern politicians adopted a strategy that became known as “massive resistance.” It doomed the South to a losing battle not just against the court, but a majority of Americans.

Some GOP conservatives may be on the verge of making a similar mistake in the aftermath of the court’s ruling last week supporting same-sex marriage. At the very time moderate Republicans want to escape positions that isolate them from an increasingly diverse and tolerant country, some hard-right leaders seem ready to double down on a limiting version of “traditional values.”

Poll numbers show why defiance is likely to be a losing strategy. According to the Pew Research Center, 57 percent of Americans support gay marriage. In the aftermath of the court’s decision, this number will probably grow, especially among the younger voters the GOP needs to attract. Among millennials, born after 1980, 73 percent support same-sex marriage.

Whether the GOP follows the road of resistance depends on how the party’s leadership reads the political mood. Denunciations of the ruling came from some right-wing presidential candidates, such as former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. “I will not acquiesce to an imperial court any more than our Founders acquiesced to an imperial British monarch. We must resist

“

At the very time moderate Republicans want to escape positions that isolate them from an increasingly diverse and tolerant country, some hard-right leaders seem ready to double down on a limiting version of ‘traditional values.’” and reject judicial tyranny, not retreat,” he thundered.

Some moderate Republicans, such as Jeb Bush, straddled the issue, dissenting from the court but promising to uphold the law.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said the ruling “tramples on states’ rights” and that “no earthly court” can alter God’s will, but said he would comply with court orders.

Deference to the court seems to be prevailing, for now, among lower-level officials, even in conservative states. The New York Times reported Monday that “officials in states across the South, citing the rule of law, softened their defiance and began offering marriage licenses to

gay and lesbian couples.”

The most powerful and potentially polarizing dissent came from Sen. Ted Cruz, a Harvard Law graduate and former Supreme Court clerk.

He told NPR’s Steve Inskeep that the five justices supporting same-sex marriage are “disregarding their oaths.”

He proposed a constitutional amendment that would make justices subject to a “periodic judicial retention election.”

Cruz’s language was so extreme that it seemed almost a call to ignore or disobey the court. “There is no obligation on others in government to accept the court as the final arbiter of every constitutional question,” Cruz said. Pressed by Inskeep, he affirmed that state officials “should feel no particular obligation to agree that the court ruling is right.”

Such intemperate language may have been encouraged by the sneering tone of Justice Antonin Scalia’s dissent.

Constitutional scholar Garrett Epps compiled in The Atlantic some of Scalia’s nastier comments about the majority opinion from Justice Anthony Kennedy. Scalia said Kennedy’s ruling was written “in a style as pretentious as its content is egoistic,” was “lacking even a thin veneer of law,” and expressed “the mystical aphorisms of the fortune cookie.”

These conservative ripostes recall the aggrieved language used by Southerners after the Supreme Court ruled that school segregation was illegal. Conservatives asserted then the

South’s deeply held values and way of life had been attacked. Southern conservatives were at first unsure how far to press their dissent, but that vacuum was filled by Sen. Harry F. Byrd.

“If we can organize the Southern States for massive resistance to this order I think that in time the rest of the country will realize that racial integration is not going to be accepted in the South,” Byrd said in his famous February 1956 speech. In line with the resistance strategy, schools were closed and court orders were ignored. It took federal troops to eventually impose desegregation.

This is the dark American past toward which some farright Republicans seem to want to steer their party. The problem is that court-bashing may be good politics for candidates seeking support from older, whiter, more religious voters in the crowded GOP field. The country as a whole may accept same-sex marriage, but it’s backed by only 39 percent of people born before 1946, 34 percent of Republicans and 27 percent of white evangelical Protestants.

History tells us that intolerance is a losing bet in America, and that those who embrace defiance of the courts regret it later. The Richmond Times-Dispatch apologized to its readers in 2009 for its “editorial enthusiasm for a dreadful doctrine” a half-century before. “The record fills us with regret.”

OLD HOME TOWN

100

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for July 1, 1915: “The executive committee of the Merchants & years Farmers Association yesago terday came to an agreeIN 1915 ment in regard to closing on the different holidays of the year and perfected a schedule which will be followed out in regard to closing. This will enable all clerks to take part in holiday celebrations and will insure the owner of a store that when he closes his business all his competitors will be closed also. While the resolution is not an absolute law it is understood that all the members of the association will live up to its provisions.”

PUBLIC FORUM

Valued artists To the editor: On the East Ninth Street project: There is often an unfortunate tendency to undervalue local art and artists of all kinds, a bias exacerbated by prairie humility and bicoastal arrogance. We can only hope the selection committee does not fall prey to that bias.

No matter the committee’s tastes, I think we can all agree it would truly be tragic if implementation of the project were to result in the displacement of local artists by pricing them out of the neighborhood. That is the heart of the “controversy.”

Will the project celebrate and sustain East Lawrence’s vibrant community? Or will it undermine and replace it?

Jennifer Kimball Brown, Lawrence

Property tax votes To the editor: I was disappointed to read your recent editorial criticizing the Legislature’s decision to give voters the right to vote on property tax increases by cities and counties. The property tax burden in our community has skyrocketed and this new law simply gives voters a chance to vote on whether their property tax burden will continue to go up.

From 1997 to 2014, the city of Lawrence increased total property tax revenues by 190 percent (11 percent each year) and Douglas County increased property tax revenues by 239 percent (14 percent each year). Property tax revenues increase when the mill levy rate is increased, assessed valuations on existing properties increase and when new buildings are

constructed within the community.

At the same time, inflation has increased by 2.3 percent each year and our population has grown by roughly 1.5 percent each year. Total property tax revenues (including new construction) have grown at roughly three times the rate of inflation and population growth.

This is simply not sustainable.

When a city or county chooses to increase the property tax burden by more than inflation, this new law simply allows voters to vote on the property tax increase. If a compelling case is made for why the increase is needed, then voters can vote to approve the property tax increase.

Voters already vote on tax increases when school districts increase the local option budget or issue bonds for construction projects or when cities or counties increase sales taxes. What is so “ill-conceived” about giving them the same right when it comes to property tax increases by cities and counties?

Luke Bell, Lawrence

Never too late To the editor: The Supreme Court’s decision will actually cause gays, the gay community, our nation to be losers. It’s simple.

The court ruled against God’s righteous standards as they did in 1973 with Roe v. Wade. The nation seems to be waking up from their flawed thinking in that more young people have figured out that it’s really a baby and not a fetus.

The practice of homosexuality is a sin and that can only be dealt with by repentance, the acknowledgement of the sin and the turning to God so that he can bring the life he wants. Repen-

tance is God’s solution for all of us since we all sin. It is a “conscience” decision of our will to acknowledge his truth and to be obedient to his truth, not what we think is true.

The June 21 USA Today article spoke about celebrations in New York and other locations. I can tell you that there is more joy in heaven when a sinner repents than all their combined joy. Once again, the truth of Ecclesiastes 3:16-17 is realized to Friday’s decision: “Moreover, I saw under the sun that in the place of justice, even there was wickedness, and in the place of righteousness, even there was wickedness. I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked, for there is a time for every matter and for every work.” I think his time of judgment is getting much closer. It is never too late to repent.

Carl Burkhead, Lawrence

Love is the answer To the editor: The reaction of the church in Charleston, S.C., after the prayer meeting tragedy holds the answer, in my opinion, of what our world needs today — and that is love, the love of God for his creation. I believe it is strong enough to overcome the evil that happened in Charleston.

It would be good, I believe, if the press and media gave as much space to Charleston as has been given when protesting has taken control. It’s a battle that’s been going on since the beginning of time. Charleston is an example of the power of the love of God. It has helped me through 95 years.

Puerto Rico’s debt crisis echoes Detroit

Nathan Bomey USA TODAY

ANDREW GOMBERT, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

The root causes of Puerto Rico’s debt crisis bear a striking resemblance to the financial collapse of Detroit, which filed for bankruptcy in 2013 to escape a crushing debt load amid a severely diminished tax base.

But there’s one big difference between Puerto Rico and Detroit, aside from the obvious fact that one is a commonwealth and one is a city: Puerto “There are Rico can’t legally file for too many bankruptcy. creditors.

Christie, rivals vs. Washington

I

Susan Page l USA TODAY

n some ways, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie isn’t a good fit with today’s GOP — a Northeasterner in a party that’s grounded in the South and a relative moderate in one that’s dominated by conservatives.

But his blunt, bash-Washington message?

That fits just fine.

“Americans are filled with anxiety,” Christie told a hometown crowd at his old high school in Livingston, N.J. “They’re filled with anxiety because they look to Washington, D.C., and they see a government that not only doesn’t work anymore but doesn’t even talk to itself.”

Tuesday, Christie became the 14th major contender for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016. Two more sitting governors, Scott Walker of Wisconsin and John Kasich of Ohio, are likely to join the race next month, swelling numbers that already have hit records.

What unites all of them is a message that Washington is broken, lacking principled leadv STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

WASHINGTON In the wake of the church shootings in Charleston, the nation is split on whether the Confederate flag is a racist symbol that should be removed from public spaces, a USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll finds.

Political leaders in South Carolina, Alabama and elsewhere have led efforts to take down the flag.

But the survey finds no national consensus about that — the divide is 42%-42% on whether the flag is racist — and little hope that anything the government could do about guns would prevent mass shootings like the one that took nine lives at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church.

“There is almost a thread of thinking running through the poll that nothing can be done to make any meaningful changes,” says David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center in Boston.

By 56%-40%, Americans say tighter gun-control laws wouldn’t prevent more mass shootings. By 76%-18%, they say easier access to guns wouldn’t prevent them.

And by 78%-15%, they see little chance Congress will pass gun legislation in the foreseeable future.

“It doesn’t make any difference if you have strict gun control or don’t have it,” says Frank Ziebarth, 64, of Whitewater, Wis., who was among those polled.

“The bad guys are going to get hold of one.”

Christine Thomas, 52, of Napa, Calif., disagrees. “Gun control laws need to be re-evaluated; they need to be enforced,” she said in a follow-up interview. “I don’t think it’s a hopeless cause.”

For most Americans, though, the debate seems to be done. By 52%-43%, those surveyed say they don’t want gun control to be a significant subject in the 2016 presidential campaign.

Few see any real prospect of action by Congress on guns. Just 15% say the odds of gun laws being tightened are good or excellent. Nearly eight in 10 called them fair or poor.

The issues of gun violence and the Confederate flag have been thrown into sharp focus by the massacre of nine African-American worshipers at Bible study.

The alleged shooter, 21-year-old Dylann Roof, posed in social media with Confederate flags.

While the bloody assault has sparked outrage, opinions differ by region and race on what it represents and what should be done in response. More than half of whites call the assault the actions of a lone gunman in an isolated incident; just a third say it reflects a larger problem of racism in America. But among African Americans, three of four say it reflects a larger problem of racism.

July 4th message from police: Landmarks being watched Vigilance stressed as holiday approaches Gregg Zoroya USA TODAY

Federal and local authorities are stepping up security over the Fourth of July following a bulletin by the Department of Homeland Security and FBI regarding ongoing attack threats by the Islamic State and other homegrown extremists.

In Washington, D.C., where tens of thousands crowd the National Mall to watch one of the

largest firework displays in the country, specially designated police patrols will keep an eye on potential targets such as landmarks, financial institutions, houses of worship, hotels and theaters, police said.

The bulletin issued to police departments by the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI is similar to those frequently sent out in advance of major U.S. holidays as a precaution.

Additional plainclothes officers, radiation detection units, bomb-sniffing canines and surveillance aircraft will be deployed.

“The safety of residents and

Recent global events require a vigilant and proactive posture,” said Gwendo-

lyn Crump, director of communications for the D.C. Metropolitan police.

Los Angeles police declined to provide details of additional security steps being taken, but a spokeswoman, Officer Liliana Preciado, said the department is preparing for any threat. “We do have enough resources available and we will have enough officers out there,” Preciado said.

Boston police will also increase the number of officers on duty to provide security and crowd control, said Officer Rachel McGuire, a department spokeswoman. City officials will hold a press conference Friday to elaborate on steps

being taken.

There has been no specific, credible threat targeting Fourth of July celebrations, USA TODAY reported Sunday, but there have been repeated calls for violence over the past year by the Islamic State.

Concerns were heightened over the weekend following a series of attacks Friday in Tunisia, France and Kuwait.

Earlier this year, Homeland Security enhanced airport screening and random searches of passengers and carry-on luggage on flights headed into the United States and added more security at federal facilities.

ership and flinching at the nation’s toughest problems. The theme crosses the ideological spectrum, from Christie to the very conservative Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. Indeed, it unites actual outsiders (such as retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson and former CEO Carly Fiorina) with those whose previous battles have been aimed at winning jobs in the aforementioned Washington (among them Sens. Marco Rubio and Rand Paul).

For Christie, that message — his campaign slogan is “Telling it like it is” — is a way to turn a negative into a positive. It means his abrupt manner doesn’t prove he’s a bully; it shows he’s a fighter. His strategists hope his takeno-prisoners style might appeal to voters frustrated with what they see as politics-as-usual from leaders in both parties.

Christie is hardly alone in his critique of the capital. Real-estate mogul Donald Trump declared at his campaign announcement that the country was being run by “losers.” In his new book, A Time for Truth, published Tuesday, Cruz titled a chapter about maneuverings by the Senate GOP leadership “Mendacity.”

“We are not going to clean up the mess in Washington by electing the people who either helped create it or have proven incapable of fixing it,” former Florida governor Jeb Bush said at his announcement address.

On that, former Texas governor Rick Perry agrees. “We’re

not going to fix Washington by electing a president who is from Washington, of Washington or for Washington,” he told a New Hampshire audience. “Change is only going to come from the outside, in my perspective, and so should the next president.”

Running as a Washington outsider isn’t exactly unprecedented. Indeed, it’s harder to find candidates who have run as Washington insiders.

In 2008, Hillary Clinton did portray herself as an experienced policymaker who would know what to do when, as one of

her campaign ads warned, the White House phone rang at 3 a.m. (Barack Obama won the Democratic nomination anyway.)

In 1980, George H.W. Bush boasted he had the longest résumé in the field — U.S. representative, United Nations ambassador, Republican national chairman, envoy to China. “A president we won’t have to train,” the campaign declared in brochures and ads. (Washington outsider Ronald Reagan beat him anyway.)

laws to allow the commonwealth to weigh Chapter 9 bankruptcy.

Padilla hired the former U.S. bankruptcy judge who oversaw Detroit’s case, Steven Rhodes, to advise him on the commonwealth’s pursuit of Chapter 9 bankruptcy. Although representatives for Puerto Rico’s creditors and the government are negotiating potential settlements, Rhodes said it appears to be too difficult to bring all sides to the table without bankruptcy.

“There are too many creditors,” he said. “Like Detroit, Puerto Rico can’t print money. So Puerto Rico’s insolvency is as much the creditors’ problem as it is the commonwealth’s problem.”

Through a cascading series of empty promises to pensioners, bondholders and banks, Detroit once accumulated a remarkable 170,000 creditors, give or take a few thousand. Even sophisticated global financial institutions such as UBS and Bank of America had made big bets on Detroit and lost.

In Puerto Rico, it’s a similar tune. The commonwealth’s creditors are far and wide, including mom-and-pop retail investors, large mutual funds and hedge

funds. The largest bond fund creditor is Oppenheimer Rochester Fund Municipals, which holds $1.39 billion in Puerto Rican debt, according to Thomson Reuters’ Lipper data.

The White House has ruled out a bailout but signaled that Congress should consider legislation allowing the commonwealth’s debt-strapped public entities the chance to file for municipal bankruptcy.

The president’s support comes more than six months after Detroit emerged from bankruptcy, shedding $7 billion of debt in a process that helped free up badly needed cash for services such as police protection and blight demolition.

Whatever the outcome, here are five ways Puerto Rico’s debt crisis is similar to Detroit’s:

1

Puerto Rico can’t pay its bills in full.

Absent a miraculous economic surge, the commonwealth doesn’t have a prayer of paying its debts.

The government is currently running a deficit of about 5%.

Moody’s analyst Emily Raimes, who tracks Puerto Rico, said in an interview that she foresees “a very high probability of default.”

federal, state and local income taxes.

“Because Puerto Rico’s borrowing has been totally focused on debt financing and in the end completely reckless, investors have some kind of culpability here,” said Matt Fabian, managing director of Municipal Market Advisors.

JOE RAEDLE, GETTY IMAGES

A woman sorts through her belongings on a park bench in San Juan, the Puerto Rican capital.

Detroit could not afford to pay its $18 billion in debts, following an implosion of its revenue base.

In municipal bankruptcy law, insolvency is considered a necessary precursor to filing for Chapter 9.

2

People are leaving.

Puerto Rico’s population loss is approaching 1%, which is 10 times worse than any U.S. state, according to a report released Monday by the Puerto Rican government. The island’s population fell by 212,000 residents to 3.6 million in 2013, according to the New York Fed.

That’s bad, but not as bad as Detroit, whose population has fallen from nearly 2 million in the 1950s to fewer than 700,000.

Still, outmigration undercuts the island’s tax base, making it increasingly difficult to pay back a ballooning debt load.

Creditors aplenty.

About 53% of U.S. municipal mutual funds hold positions in Puerto Rican debt, according to Morningstar data.

Those funds have long been attracted by the triple-tax-free nature of Puerto Rican debt, which Congress blessed as free from

IN BRIEF DOZENS FEARED DEAD IN INDONESIA PLANE CRASH

More than 100 people are feared dead after a military plane plowed into a residential area in northern Indonesia on Tuesday.

“For the moment, we know there were 113 people (on board).

It looks like there are no survivors,” Air Marshal Agus Supriatna told Metro TV in the Sumatra city of Medan, adding that some of the passengers were Air Force families.

The giant Hercules C-130 plane exploded into flames as it slammed into several homes and a hotel in Medan, Indonesia’s third-largest city, media outlets reported.

Television footage seen by the Associated Press showed the mangled wreckage of the C-130, a crumpled burning car and a shattered building that local media said was recently built and contained a spa, shops and homes. It was unclear if anyone was in the buildings at the time.

The pilot told the control tower that the plane needed to turn back because of engine trouble, Supriatna told the AP. — Jane Onyanga-Omara

on Washington as a dysfunctional place governed by hypocrites have taken on a fierce velocity, and the scorn often is heaped not only at the Democratic president but also at fellow Republicans who control the House and Senate.

“Both parties have failed our country,” Christie said. “Both parties have stood in the corner and held their breath, waiting to get their way.”

He vowed to address tough problems such as addressing the long-term stability of Social Security and Medicare.

Christie has a lot to overcome to win the nomination. One hurdle is the investigation into Bridgegate, the caper by former aides who orchestrated a traffic jam to punish a Democratic mayor who had refused to endorse Christie for re-election.

Another is the state’s budget problems that have prompted credit downgrades.

What’s more, Christie’s conservative credentials came into question after his decisions to accept the Medicaid expansion offered through the Affordable Care Act and to drop the state’s appeal of a decision recognizing same-sex marriage.

In the RealClearPolitics average of public polls, Christie ranks ninth in the GOP field, a tick behind Trump and battling to remain in the top 10 who will participate in the first televised debate in August.

“I mean what I say, and I say what I mean,” he said, “and that’s what America needs right now.”

The pension shortfall is gaping.

By the time it filed for bankruptcy, Detroit was paying nearly 4 in 10 dollars out of its general budget for pensions, health care and debt service. The pension shortfall on its own represented about $3 billion in debt.

Nonprofit donors and the state of Michigan ultimately pledged a combined $816 million over 20 years to help offset at shortfall.

That helped lower pension reductions, but retirees took pension cuts to help resolve the case.

In Detroit’s bankruptcy, Rhodes ruled that pensions could be cut. But without bankruptcy, there’s no clear route for Puerto Rico to reduce its pension burden.

5

No one is getting a government bailout.

There’s no appetite in Washington for a Puerto Rican bailout.

In Detroit, the city landed a onetime $195 million payment from the state of Michigan to help exit bankruptcy. But it was hardly a bailout, representing less than 3% of the debt Detroit eventually shed.

2 DEAD AFTER MAN SETS SELF ON FIRE ON JAPAN TRAIN

A 71-year-old man set himself on fire on a high-speed train in central Japan Tuesday, killing himself and one other person.

It was the deadliest incident in the 51-year history of Japan’s famed “Shinkansen” bullet trains.

At least 26 other passengers were injured, including two seriously.

The train was traveling from Tokyo to Osaka, with about 1,000 passengers.

The man’s motive was not clear.

The incident came a year and a day after a man set himself on fire near a train station in Tokyo to

The embattled chief watchdog of the Department of Veterans Affairs announced Tuesday he is stepping down at the end of this week.

Deputy Inspector General Richard Griffin said he will retire after more than 43 years with the federal government.

The move comes one day after a group of VA whistle-blowers from medical facilities in more than a dozen states urged President Obama to fire Griffin, saying his office has gone after whistleblowers rather than the problems they uncover, failed to cooperate with oversight and in some cases to conduct thorough investigations, in a “horrifying pattern of whitewashing and deceit.”

Linda Halliday, assistant inspector general for audits and evaluations, will take over the office.

NATION/WORLD SUPREME COURT

JUSTICES WILL WEIGH IN ON UNION DUES California case on fall docket poses threat to organized labor Richard Wolf USA TODAY

The Supreme Court signaled Tuesday that it may be prepared to strike down laws forcing public employees to pay union dues, posing a major threat to organized labor.

The justices agreed to hear a California case challenging the requirement that teachers contribute to unions, even if they don’t join them or agree with their positions on issues.

Two lower courts upheld that WASHINGTON

arrangement, but the high court has been hostile to what are known as “agency shop” rules. In two prior cases, Justice Samuel Alito wrote majority opinions scaling back on the requirement.

Under the high court’s 1977 precedent, unions largely have been allowed to collect dues from all private or public employees they represent. Those who object don’t have to contribute to political or lobbying activities, but they must chip in for the unions’ efforts in fighting for better wages, benefits and working conditions.

In the most recent case last year, the court ruled 5-4 along ideological lines that home-care workers in Illinois do not have to pay dues to public employee unions. The workers said the

“No person ... may be compelled to subsidize speech by a third party that he or she does not wish to support.”

Justice Samuel Alito, in majority opinion

unions lobbied the government, often on issues the workers oppose — thereby abridging their First Amendment rights.

In his ruling, Alito said that except in rare circumstances “no person in this country may be compelled to subsidize speech by a third party that he or she does not wish to support.”

Though the court did not overrule its own precedent, advocates on both sides of the issue have said it was only a matter of time before another case came before them. The court likely will hear Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association in December.

Terry Pell, president of the Center for Individual Rights, which brought the lawsuit, said the high court’s agreement to

From the president to a prison, pope’s stops set

hear the case was “long overdue.”

“This case is about the right of individuals to decide for themselves whether to join and pay dues to an organization that purports to speak on their behalf,” Pell said. “We are seeking the end of compulsory union dues across the nation on the basis of the free speech rights guaranteed by the First Amendment.”

Public employee unions reacted with alarm, but not surprise.

“The Supreme Court is revisiting decisions that have made it possible for people to stick together for a voice at work and in their communities — decisions that have stood for more than 35 years,” said a statement from five union leaders representing teachers and other government workers.

Pope Francis’ September visit to the U.S. will include stops at the White House, a school in Harlem and a Philadelphia prison, according to an itinerary released Tuesday by the Vatican.

The Argentine pontiff, who became pope in 2013 and as a Jesuit has forged a mission of helping those in poverty, flies into Washington, D.C., on Sept. 22 at 4 p.m.

He plans to visit several important Catholic sites in Washington, New York City and Philadelphia.

He’ll say prayers and Mass while

in town. He heads to Rome on Sept. 27.

In Washington, President Obama will welcome Pope Francis at a White House ceremony. Later, the pope will give a speech before a joint session of Congress.

The pope will continue his U.S. visit in New York with a stop at the United Nations General Assembly, then a multi-religious service at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum. He’ll also visit Our Lady Queen of Angels School in Harlem and say Mass at Madison Square Garden.

The pontiff is scheduled to arrive in Philadelphia on Sept. 26 for the triennial World Meeting

of Families, a five-day international conference focusing on Catholic family life. There, he will say Mass at Cathedral Basilica of St. Peter and visit Independence Mall.

About 1 million people are likely to attend an outdoor Mass said by the pope along Philadelphia’s Benjamin Franklin Parkway.

He’ll also visit Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility, a 24hour intake center that processes about 30,000 male inmates each year.

Study: Fireworks create toxic brew in air Doyle Rice USA TODAY

The thousands of Fourth of July fireworks celebrations across the nation bring a toxic brew of air pollution to our atmosphere, according to a recent study by federal scientists.

The exploding fireworks unleash tiny particles — about 1/30th the diameter of a human hair — that can travel deep into a person’s respiratory tract, entering the lungs.

The “particulate matter” includes dust, dirt, soot, smoke and liquid droplets and are measured in micrometers, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. A micrometer is one-millionth of a meter. The fine particulate matter in this study — led by scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration — were 2.5 micrometers in size.

Both long- and short-term exposures to fine particles are linked to a range of health effects — from coughing and shortness of breath, heart attack and stroke,

“The study is also another wake-up call for those who may be particularly sensitive to the effects of fine particulate matter.”

Dian Seidel, NOAA scientist and the study’s lead author

according to the study in the journal Atmospheric Environment.

On average, the air is at its worst from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. on the holiday, and pollution levels drop back down by noon July 5.

“These results will help improve air quality predictions, which currently don’t account for fireworks as a source of air pollution,” said NOAA scientist Dian Seidel, the study’s lead author.

“The study is also another wakeup call for those who may be particularly sensitive to the effects of fine particulate matter,” she said.

U.S. and other world powers gave themselves seven more days to seal the deal with Iran on limiting its nuclear program as President Obama reiterated Tuesday he would walk away from a bad agreement.

U.S. and Iranian negotiators in Vienna agreed to extend the deadline from Tuesday night to July 7 as they remained far apart on key issues. Even if a deal can be reached by the new date, differences in the interpretation of the latest interim agreement show the obstacles of executing an accord.

The deadline was extended “to allow more time for negotiations to reach a long-term solution” on the Iran nuclear issue, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said.

Along with the announcement to extend the talks, a senior Western official told USA TODAY that Iran has reduced its stockpile of low-enriched uranium to 7.6 tons in compliance with an agreement it signed in November 2013. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to speak publicly about the confidential report.

Iran’s stockpile of the fuel, which can be used to fuel a reactor or processed further for weapons, had grown to 8 tons, according to the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The State Department said the stockpile’s size could fluctuate as long as Iran was under the limit by Tuesday.

President Obama said he will sign an agreement with Iran only if he can be assured it will prevent Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. “I will walk away from the negotiations if in fact it’s a bad deal,” Obama said Tuesday.

The five original United Nations Security Council nuclear members — the USA, Britain, France, Russia and China — plus Germany are in talks with Iran.

APPLE LOSES FIGHT OVER EBOOK PRICES ON APPEAL A federal appeals court upheld a ruling charging Apple of illegally conspiring to inflate e-book prices to consumers. The appeal is a win for the Justice Department, which accused the gadget maker in 2012 of orchestrating an abusive e-book pricing policy with book publishers. Many of the associated publishers settled the case, but Apple dug in with an appeal. Unless contested, the judgment means Apple has been ordered to pay $450 million as a fine — most of it going to e-book buyers.

HOME PRICES RISE MODESTLY Home price increases moderated a bit in April. The Standard & Poor’s/Case Shiller index of 20 large cities rose 4.9% compared with a year earlier, down slightly from a 5% annual rise in March.

Denver and San Francisco posted the sharpest annual gains in April; prices rose 10.3% and 10%, respectively.

The Greek government confirmed Tuesday that it would not pay the $1.7 billion it owes to one of its creditors, the International Monetary Fund, before the midnight (6 p.m. ET) deadline. That non-payment puts Greece in default and ends its bailout program. There has been talk from both sides that the door to a deal remains open as Greece requested a third bailout in a last-ditch effort to reach an agreement.

Meanwhile, global investors await Sunday’s key referendum, when the Greek people will cast their vote on whether they want to accept its creditors onerous terms for another bailout or whether they say no and risk exiting the eurozone.

“The Greek referendum could end the crisis or signal a Greek exit from the eurozone,” money manager Louis Navellier wrote in a market note.

“If the Greeks vote to accept austerity, the crisis could be over, but if they reject austerity, the crisis will escalate and the next step may be for Greece to exit the euro-zone.”

Greece had previously indicated it would not be able to make the payment. The IMF said it would not give Greece its customary 30-day grace period before issuing a notice of technical default.

But Athens is not expected to immediately go bankrupt. That would only happen if its non-payment triggers further defaults in its financial system, which is not expected. On July 20, Greece is also due to pay the ECB $3.9 billion.

Talks between Greece and its creditors have broken down as Athens tries to negotiate less onerous repayment terms, mainly centered around austerity measures. Global markets on Monday tumbled over fears the country’s attempts to strike a better deal could see it forced out of the eurozone.

Markets bounced back Tuesday in Asia, and European indexes moved away from early losses.

U.S. markets edged higher, buoyed by Greece’s new proposal that came against the crisis narrative of the previous 48 hours.

July to kick off volatile 2nd half Wall Street has much to like, but worries abound Adam Shell USA TODAY

Not into bumpy rides or turbulence? Then brace yourself, because the second half of the year might give you a case of the jitters as financial markets are expected to remain volatile despite expectations of modest stock market gains in the U.S. Investors got a fresh taste of volatility this week when Greek’s worsening debt crisis roiled global stock markets and triggered Wall Street’s biggest one-day drop in two years.

So what does the second half hold? After poring through a dozen midyear reports issued by Wall Street market strategists, a few themes emerge. uU.S. stocks will grind higher. Helped by both an improving economy and corporate earnings as well as more share buybacks from companies — but hurt by fears of rising interest rates and above-average valuations relative to history and shocks like the Greece debt crisis or a hard landing in China — stocks are likely to grind higher.

Domestic stocks could suffer a correction along the way as investors adjust to a shifting investment landscape. A correction is defined as a drop of 10% or more from a high. Investors might also reap fatter returns by investing abroad, where prices relative to earnings are cheaper and profit growth is peppier.

GETTING NOWHERE FAST Despite all three major U.S. indexes repeatedly hitting new highs, only the Nasdaq composite ended the first half with much of a gain.

Second First Index quarter half Nasdaq 1.8% 5.3% composite S&P 500 -0.2% 0.2% Dow Jones -0.9% -1.1% industrials SOURCE: Bloomberg

“U.S. equities remain expensive by historical standards,” Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at BMO Private Bank, noted in his July outlook piece. “While valuation is not a timing tool, it remains one of the biggest impediments to further gains.” uExpect more volatility and pullbacks. Despite touching all-time highs in late May, the stock market has basically been “treading water rather than moving sharply higher, and we expect more of the same in the second half of the year,” Liz Ann Sonders, chief investment strategist at Charles Schwab, said in the firm’s midyear outlook.

At midyear, despite making a number of record highs this year, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index is up just 0.2% and the Dow Jones industrial average is down 1.1%. uFed angst will grow. Markets will also face the headwind of the prospect of the first rate increase from the Federal Reserve since before the 2008 financial crisis. And the threat of rising rates could prove worrisome for investors, as low borrowing costs have been a key driver of stock prices for years.

“We believe actions by the Fed to exit its zero interest rate and accommodative monetary policies appear to be on the horizon for later this year,” according to LPL Financial.

Wall Street is bracing for the increase to be in September.

The good news? Even if a correction does strike, it likely will be short-lived, argues Brian Belski, chief investment strategist at BMO Capital Markets.

“We do not believe that any sort of protracted weakness is on the horizon,” Belski told clients recently in a report. “Bear market ingredients, such as recession, are not present.”

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

With the world fixated on Greece’s debts, financial problems and broken-down talks with its creditors, it’s tough to find market- or economy-related news that can supplant nervous investors thoughts over what might happen if the Greek drama turns into a tragedy.

Wall Street hopes that with the market calmed down a bit Tuesday following the Dow Jones industrials biggest one-day selloff in two years Monday, that incoming U.S. economic data can act as a reprieve or diversion from the all-Greek, all-the-time mentality investors have adopted since talks broke down over the weekend and the government in Athens surprised investors by calling for

Keep an eye on food company before acting

Q: Is Conagra still a buy?

Matt Krantz

@mattkrantz mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Conagra is a company best known for memorable products such as Orville Redenbacher, PAM and Peter Pan peanut butter. But the stock has become a favorite with investors, too.

Shares of the food company are up more than 21% over the past year as management appears willing to take steps to improve future profitability. Conagra on Tuesday reported adjusted quarterly profit of 59 cents a share, up 7.3% from the same period a year ago.

The company also stated its plans to divest its sluggish private-brands business, a unit that packages foods under other companies’ brands, usually stores.

Moves like the divestiture are exactly what attracts investors to the stock. The private-brands business accounts for roughly a quarter of Conagra’s revenue, but it reported a loss of nearly $400 million over the past 12 months. Dropping businesses that aren’t driving the bottom line gets investors’ interest.

Now it’s time to execute — which is something altogether different and where the risk lies. Analysts seem to think the good plans are already priced into the stock. The average analyst rates Conagra a “hold.”

Additionally, the average 18-month price target on Conagra is $39.73, which is 9% lower than the current price of roughly $44 a share.

Consumer confidence, outlook rising after winter slump Paul Davidson USA TODAY

Consumer confidence surged in June on strong job growth, rising incomes and cheap gasoline.

The Conference Board’s closely watched index of consumers’ outlook jumped to 101.4 from 94.6 in May. Economists expected a more modest rise to 97.4. Americans’ outlook on both current conditions and their expectations for the next six months both advanced sharply.

The measure has bounced around recently after reaching a

7½-year high of 103.8 in January, but it generally has been up over last year. Economists monitor the index because it can foreshadow gains in consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of the economy.

“Elevated levels of consumer confidence are likely to assist back-to-school spending in the upcoming months,” IHS Global Insight economist Chris Christopher wrote in a note to clients.

Employers added 280,000 jobs last month, far more than expected, and wage gains are finally showing signs of accelerating. Average regular unleaded gas prices,

CONSUMER EXPECTATIONS Consumer confidence rebounded in June, matching a five-month high.

at $2.77 a gallon, are up from $2 early this year but below the year ago price of $3.68.

Consumer confidence had retreated amid a first-quarter slump in the economy that was largely blamed on harsh winter weather and other temporary factors.

“Over the past two months, consumers have grown more confident about the current state of business and employment conditions,” said Lynn Franco, the Conference Board’s director of economic indicators. “Overall, consumers are in considerably better spirits, and their renewed

optimism could lead to a greater willingness to spend in the near term.”

This month, the share of consumers saying jobs are “plentiful” increased to 21.4% from 20.6% in May. Those saying jobs are “hard to get” fell to 25.7% from 27.2%.

The portion anticipating more jobs the next six months increased to 17.8% from 14.7%, while those expecting fewer jobs declined to 15.1% from 16.6%.

Meanwhile, 18.5% expect business conditions to improve, up from 16%. The share expecting business conditions to worsen dropped to 9.8% from 11.3%.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have split after 10 years of marriage. “After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce,” the couple said in a joint statement issued Tuesday by their publicists, Shawn Sachs and Meredith O’Sullivan Wasson.

“We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time.” They said this will be their only comment “on this private, family matter.” The couple have three children, two daughters and one son, ages 3 to 9.

After six movies, Sylvester Stallone thought he’d finally retired Rocky Balboa’s boxing gloves.

Then Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan came into his life and helped put the pop-culture icon back in the ring like never before.

Written and directed by Coogler (Fruitvale Station), the drama Creed (in theaters Nov. 25) switches the spotlight from “the Italian Stallion” to Adonis Johnson (Fantastic Four’s Michael B. Jordan), the son of Rocky’s rival Apollo Creed. Adonis never knew his dad — played by Carl Weathers in the first four Rocky films — before he died in the ring but now is on a quest to find himself as well as his father.

Adonis reaches out to Rocky to train him to compete, yet Rocky rebuffs him at first. “There’s a tremendous guilt factor, too, because Apollo died in his arms,” Stallone says.

However, Rocky also sees a hint of that same “eye of the tiger” in Adonis that Apollo instilled in him that helped

ter in his world.

“Sly’s many things, but he’s definitely not an easy sell,” says Coogler, who ultimately convinced him that this radical departure from the franchise was worthy and wouldn’t tamper with the Rocky legacy.

Adds Stallone: “It was a matter of just buying into the concept totally.”

Creed finds both Rocky and Adonis at a time of intense loneliness, Coogler says. The retired MARY EVANS/RONALD GRANT/ EVERETT COLLECTION boxer’s son has moved away, and Adonis there’s no one left. “Rocky’s kind WATCH THE TRAILER (Michael B. of like the older guys you see at LIFE.USATODAY.COM the park playing chess, except he’s Get a preview of the boxing action Jordan, top) never saw his got nobody to play chess with.” in Rocky offshoot Creed.

Schwarzenegger looks to get better with age ‘Terminator,’ other reboots show he’s ‘old but not obsolete’ Bryan Alexander @BryAlexand USA TODAY

LOS ANGELES James Bond.

Batman. Spider-Man. In Hollywood, even these classic characters are played by a revolving cast of actors.

But when Arnold Schwarzenegger throws back his hood in Terminator Genisys (in theaters Wednesday), audiences will see the same actor who famously uttered “I’ll be back” in 1984’s original The Terminator.

“It’s not just a Terminator 30 years later,” Schwarzenegger, 67, says of the role that propelled him to superstardom. “It’s the same Arnold being asked to come back as the same Terminator.”

Impressive, but clarifications are in order. For starters, he’s not the same killing machine in Genisys. The fifth film in the franchise (only 2009’s Terminator Salvation

didn’t feature the thengovernor of California) has Schwarzenegger as a Terminator programmed to protect Sarah Connor (now played by Game of Thrones’ Emilia Clarke), the heroine he originally was sent to kill.

Obviously, the human Schwarzenegger has aged over the years. The Genisys explanation is that fallible human flesh covers the Terminator’s killer exoskeleton.

It leads to the repeated line “Old but not obsolete,” which Schwarzenegger takes to heart.

“It’s a great line — it’s as true as it could be. When you think about wine, the older the better,” he says. “With age, wisdom comes, and you can make better decisions.”

This hard-fought wisdom was on display last week when Schwarzenegger broke his silence on The Howard Stern Show about his split from Maria Shriver after 25 years of marriage and four

children (Katherine, 25; Christina, 23; Patrick, 21; and Christopher, 17). That came after revelations in 2011 that he had another child, now 17, with the family’s housekeeper.

“Clearly, as a husband I failed,” he says.

Schwarzenegger has set goals for his family life. “When I do something, I always go all-out.

And I want to be a 10. Not that I am always a 10.”

His role as a father remains solid, he says.

“I just am very fortunate about my partnership with the kids and Maria and with everyone. We have moved on. We have a great relationship, all of us.”

His post-politics career is in need of a hit after failed endeavors such as 2013’s The Last Stand and Escape Plan.

“This film is very important to his career and his body of work,” says Genisys director Alan Taylor.

“But he applies himself absolutely to everything he does.”

Genisys is the first in a string of franchise reboots Schwarzenegger has brewing, including the comedy Triplets (following 1988’s hit Twins) and The Legend of Conan (1982’s Conan the Barbarian).

“I’m a pretty happy camper,” he says. “I’m happy with my career. And also that I’m able to get up when I fail.

“Losers stay down. Winners get up, dust themselves off and march on.”

JAYHAWKS IN SOUTH KOREA

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Chuckin’ footballs, makin’ memories The bells clanged seven times Tuesday night, signalling that the moment of truth had arrived for Gary Higbie, retired golf-course superintendent who still dabbles in growing grass as part of the Lawrence Country Club grounds crew.

Watching a punt, pass and kick competition at halftime of a football game “three or four years ago,” Higbie had made an innocent remark about how “pathetic” it was that a contestant’s throw traveled just 20 yards and boasted: “I can throw it 40 yards.”

Well, one witness to that remark told a friend, who told another of their friends, and pretty soon it had reached the ears of Robbie Vannaman. Every group of friends has a Robbie Vannaman.

He’s the friend who forever has the needle at the ready Higbie and never stops using it, via email, text, the spoken word, whatever means possible.

Told to prove it one too many times, Higbie headed out to the Lawrence High football field Tuesday, and he and friends claimed the northeast corner of the field, so that a wayward throw wouldn’t hurt any of the practicing Lions band members.

Vannaman, wearing a court jester’s hat with Green Bay Packers colors, played the role of receiver.

His wife, Madi Vannaman, dressed in a referee’s jersey, served as judge and jury as to whether each pass traveled 40 yards. Bill Schinstock acted as center and did a fine job at that, firing one accurate snap after another.

Higbie’s gal pal, Diane McAllister, and other friends cheered from the sidelines.

The rules allowed for Higbie to attempt as many throws as he wanted, which meant until his arm grew too sore to continue.

Warming up, Higbie, 65, had launched one 35 yards, a nice confidence boost for him and the beginning of a shift among many, including Rick Heere, father of former Lions quarterback Brian Heere. They went from doubting Higbie to doubting their original predictions. I was a doubting Thomas even after the throw that fell five yards short.

Imagine what was at stake for Higbie, who had downed two beers during the loosening-up process.

If he hit the 40-yard target, he would forever be known as the George Blanda of Lawrence. The late Blanda, for the uninformed, won games in dramatic fashion in five consecutive weeks for the 1970 Oakland Raiders, mixing gamewinning field goals and

KANSAS UNIVERSITY COACH BILL SELF, RIGHT, OBSERVES A SHOT by KU freshman Carlton Bragg during a Team USA practice Tuesday at Gwangju High. Early today in the team’s second practice, Bragg suffered a broken nose.

South Koreans flock to Jayhawks

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Gwangju, South Korea — When the Team USA bus stopped in front of Gwangju High on Tuesday night, Kansas University men’s basketball players saw several high school students waiting to greet them in front of the gymnasium’s entrance.

Inside, more than 100 high schoolers were waiting.

The students cheered and clapped for made baskets in warmups, with loud roars during dunks.

It was a warm welcome for the Jayhawks, who returned to the court for the first time since arriving in South Korea around 1 a.m. Tuesday (11 a.m. Monday CDT) “It felt good. It definitely felt good,” KU junior guard Wayne Selden Jr. said. “It felt like we haven’t played basketball in, like, five days, but it’s only been probably two or three. We’re just trying to get our stuff back together, get our feet under ourselves.”

Freshman forward Bragg suffers broken nose in practice

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Gwangju, South Korea — Kansas University freshman Carlton Bragg broke his nose about 30 minutes into Team USA’s second practice today at Gwangju High.

“Unfortunately today, Carlton broke his nose,” KU coach Bill Self said after practice. “We’ll see how long he’s going to be out of pocket with that. Hopefully he won’t miss anything.” students stayed for the first 20 minutes of the hourlong practice. The ones who stayed for the entire length were rewarded by getting to take pictures with the Jayhawks afterward.

“You know what, the people here have been unbelievably nice,” KU coach Bill Self

Bragg, a 6-foot-9 forward from Cleveland, broke his nose on a trip down the court. He didn’t run back, putting his hands on his knees before falling backwards onto the court. He didn’t appear to lose consciousness. Trainers, including KU doctor Larry Magee, gave Bragg water and put rags on his head and around his leg.

said. “Coming to the high school was obviously … a lot of students that stuck around.

It’s amazing. They really like the dunk. I guess it’s a sign of a good player if he can dunk.”

The Jayhawks spent the first half of practice split between guards and forwards for individual

drills before uniting to run through plays.

They practiced again at 10 a.m. today (8 p.m. Tuesday CDT) with more intensity.

“I think jet lag has definitely hit everybody, pretty evident by practice,” Self said.

“But it was good to get the guys out to go up and down a little bit, get a sweat going.

But tomorrow is when we really get after it. The guys had a little bit of a chance to sightsee, but most of them were wiped out by the afternoon. I’d be surprised if not everybody did hit the bed this afternoon.”

Selden added: “I’m really tired right now. Everybody is real tired. We’re just really trying to get acclimated to the timing and all that stuff.”

In their first day in Gwangju, the Jayhawks went to a flag-raising ceremony at 10 a.m. in the athletes village before spending time with other countries.

U.S. women roll over Germany into finals

Montreal (ap) — Carli Lloyd buried a penalty kick, Hope Solo got another shutout, and the United States beat top-ranked Germany 2-0 on Tuesday night to advance to the title match at the Women’s World Cup. Lloyd’s penalty kick in the 69th minute went into the right side of the goal less than 10 minutes after Celia Sasic shot wide on a penalty kick for Germany.

“Just slotted it home. I knew what I had to do,” Lloyd said.

Solo has posted five straight shutouts for the United States in the tournament. Kelley O’Hara came in off the bench and scored in the 85th minute, delighting the pro-American crowd.

It was the fourth World Cup meeting between Germany and the U.S. In each of the first three games, the winner went on to win the title.

U.S. ramps to the building’s third level at one point.

The stadium built for the 1976 Olympics, where the East German men won the gold medal, was filled nearly to its blue fabric roof, mostly with fans cheering for the United States. The crowd was announced at 51,176.

Previous games in Montreal had the stadium less than half full, with the upper bowl completely empty.

The United States had several good chances from the start. Julie Johnston missed on a header off a corner kick from Megan Rapinoe, and Alex Morgan’s breakaway in the 15th minute was stopped by goaltender Nadine Angerer.

There was a scary moment in the first half when Germany’s Alexandra Popp and American midfielder Morgan Brian collided in front of the U.S. goal following a free kick from about 25 yards out.

Television cameras caught blood in Popp’s hair, and Brian was prone on the field for several minutes. Both players returned to the match.

After a scoreless first half, Lloyd had a header bounce inches wide to open the second.

Sasic’s penalty kick came after Johnston fouled Popp in the box. Sasic fooled Solo, who went right, but her kick went wide left, prompting a roar from the crowd.

Sasic went into the match as the tournament’s high scorer with six goals.

Shortly thereafter, Annike Krahn got a yellow card for fouling Morgan in the box, but replays showed it occurred just outside. Lloyd’s penalty kick was her third goal in three matches.

O’Hara scored on Lloyd’s left-footed cross.

The United States tweaked its formation for the match.

Morgan started up top, with Lloyd as an attacking midfielder with Rapinoe and Tobin Heath on the wings.

The U.S. had success in its quarterfinal against China when it had Lloyd roaming up top and Brian back as a holding midfielder. Lloyd scored the lone goal in the 1-0 victory.

The United States improved to 3-1 against Germany in World Cup matches and 19-4-7 overall.

The United States has won two World Cup titles, but none since 1999. The Americans have appeared in the semifinals of all seven of the women’s tournaments.

Germany has also won the title twice, in consecutive tournaments in 2003 and ‘07.

This tournament has played out with FIFA embroiled in scandal.

Earlier Tuesday, FIFA confirmed that President Sepp Blatter would skip the World Cup final, as U.S. officials pursue a criminal investigation into the game’s ruling body.

Blatter’s second-in-command, secretary general Jerome Valcke, also will be absent from the biggest event in women’s soccer “due to their current commitments in Zurich,” FIFA said in a statement Tuesday.

PETRA KVITOVA RETURNS A SHOT to Kiki Bertens during their first round match Tuesday at Wimbledon.

Former Wimbledon champs win openers London — It looked all too easy for the champions at the All England Club. It was another story, though, for one of last year’s finalists and for one of the highest seeded women in the draw.

Defending women’s champion Petra Kvitova and former men’s winners Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray all won their first-round matches at Wimbledon on Tuesday in straight sets.

The big names imposed themselves on Day 2 of the grass-court Grand Slam as London basked in warm, sunny conditions.

But, late in the day, there were two major casualties in the women’s field.

First, Eugenie Bouchard, who was runnerup at Wimbledon last year, fell in the opening round, losing 7-6 (3), 6-4 to Duan Ying-Ying — a 117th-ranked Chinese qualifier who was playing at Wimbledon for the first time and had never before won a Grand Slam match.

Bouchard seemed to be the new star of women’s tennis last year when she reached at least the semifinals at the first three Grand Slam tournaments. She made a stirring run to the Wimbledon final, where she lost to Kvitova.

This year, the 21-year-old Canadian lost 10 of 11 matches in one stretch and also went out in the first round at the French Open.

Bouchard, who served 10 double-faults on Tuesday, said she was still hampered by the abdominal injury that forced her to retire from last week’s grass-court tournament in Eastbourne. She said she had been advised not to play at Wimbledon, but decided she couldn’t pass up the chance.

“I felt very unprepared for this match,” Bouchard said. “I hadn’t practiced that much.

My timing was off. ... It’s not an excuse because I chose to play.”

A few minutes after Bouchard’s defeat, the player she beat in last year’s semifinals also was eliminated.

No. 3 Simona Halep became the highest seeded player ousted so far, tumbling 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 to 106th-ranked Jana Cepelova of Slovakia. The Romanian, who also reached the French Open final last year, was treated near the end of the first set after losing a toenail.

Halep, who is not considered a grass-court specialist, hurt her chances with seven doublefaults and 34 unforced errors.

Halep said she had no expectations of doing well this year.

“I knew it would be a difficult tournament for me,” she said. “I didn’t expect to lose in first round.”

In keeping with Wimbledon tradition, Kvitova had the honor of playing the first match on Centre Court on the second day as the reigning women’s champion.

The second-seeded Czech wasted no time in reasserting her dominance on her favorite court, overpowering Kiki Bertens of the Netherlands 6-1, 6-0 in just 35 minutes.

NBA

Ridnour traded again Oklahoma City — Luke Ridnour may be in need of a rest — or a good travel agent — after

LJWorld.com/highschool • Facebook.com/LJWorldpreps • Twitter.com/LJWpreps

being traded for the fourth time in less than a week.

The Oklahoma City Thunder sent the veteran guard and cash to the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday in exchange for a trade exception and the rights to forward Tomislav Zubcic.

It was just the latest move for Ridnour: After averaging 4 points and 2 assists for Orlando last season, he was dealt to Charlotte last Wednesday in a deal involving Memphis and then almost immediately sent to the Thunder along with a conditional 2016 second-round draft pick for guard Jeremy Lamb.

And now he’s on the move again. Ridnour has played for five NBA teams in 12 years, and the former Oregon Duck has a career scoring average of 9.3 points per game.

The Thunder will have one year to exercise the trade exception. Zubcic was the 56th overall pick in the 2012 draft and has yet to play in the NBA.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

FSU QB charged with battery Tallahassee, Fla. — Florida State freshman quarterback De’Andre Johnson has been charged with punching a woman in the face in a nightclub.

Assistant State Attorney Georgia Cappleman confirmed the misdemeanor battery charge in an email to the Associated Press.

Cappleman declined further comment.

The Tallahassee Police Department has issued a warrant for Johnson.

He allegedly punched the woman at a Tallahassee nightclub at about 11:30 p.m. on June 24.

The quarterback was suspended indefinitely Thursday by Seminoles coach Jimbo Fisher for a violation of athletic-department policy.

Johnson is from Jacksonville and was the state’s Mr. Football in 2014. He enrolled early at Florida State in January. He completed eight of 11 passes for 155 yards and two touchdowns in the spring game in April.

AUTO RACING

Daytona to exchange flags Daytona Beach, Fla. — Daytona International Speedway will not ban the Confederate flag from track property this weekend, but will offer the American flag to those who wish to fly it on property.

Daytona President Joie Chitwood said Tuesday the speedway will offer an exchange program in which fans can trade a flag for the American flag. Daytona’s hosts NASCAR races on Saturday and Sunday nights this weekend.

Chitwood said there’s not enough time to plan and enforce a ban on the Confederate flag, which NASCAR chairman Brian France does not want flying at NASCAR events.

NASCAR has taken a strong stance against the flag since nine black churchgoers were slain in Charleston, South Carolina on June 17.

The suspect in the case, Dylann Roof, embraced Confederate symbols before the attack.

Houston upends Duffy, Royals Houston (ap) — Kansas City starter Danny Duffy was done in by a couple of bad pitches on Tuesday night against the Houston Astros.

Duffy (2-4) allowed six hits and four runs in 62⁄3 innings in his second start since returning from the disabled list in a 4-0 loss.

“For the most part (he pitched) really well,” Kansas City manager Ned Yost said. “He elevated a couple of pitches they didn’t miss.”

George Springer had a two-run homer in the third inning. Jose Altuve drove in a run in the fifth to help Houston to the victory.

Marwin Gonzalez singled with two outs in the third inning before Springer’s soaring shot, which bounced off the foul pole in left field to make it 2-0 and snapped Springer out of an 0 for 8 slump.

“I think I was most upset about hanging the slider to (Gonzalez),” Duffy said. “I just tried to throw hard and make it really tight. But it just floated in there. I think that may have taken me out of the next at-bat, which is in my opinion the best hitter on their team.”

Evan Gattis tripled with one out in the fourth inning.

The fly ball sailed just out of reach of the glove of Lorenzo Cain, who raced up Tal’s Hill in center to try and grab it and instead crashed to the ground and into the padded wall after coming up short.

“I felt like my first two steps were good and then after that my legs just gave out and into the wall I went,” Cain said. “I gave a great effort but at the end of the day, the hill won.”

Yost raved about Cain’s effort on the play, before adding that he thinks the hill should go.

He’ll get his wish. The Astros are removing it at the end of this season.

“I thought it was phenomenal because anytime I’ve seen anybody go up the hill, they take a nosedive on the first step,” Yost said. “Lo took a nosedive on the third step. It shows you how great an outfielder he is.”

Gattis already has four triples this season after tripling just once in his first two years in the majors.

Chris Carter walked on a wild pitch by Duffy, which sailed over catcher Drew Butera’s head, and allowed Gattis to score and make it 3-0.

Young Loneker to walk on to KU

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The uniform he’ll be asked to fill will not be quite as large, but Kansas University’s football team has cleared the way to add another Loneker.

After earning freshman All-American honors at Baker University during the 2014 season, 2014 Free State High graduate Keith Loneker Jr., son of former KU offensive lineman Keith Loneker Sr., has decided to try his luck at the Div. I level.

A 6-foot-2, 225-pound bull who never shies away from the action, the younger Loneker has

transferred to KU, where he will start school and conditioning in the coming weeks and sit out the 2015 season as a walk-on.

“Growing up as a Lawrence kid, I always went to the (KU) games and played football on the hill, and it was always in the back of my mind that I wanted to go to KU,” said Loneker, who led Baker with 90 tackles, nine for loss, last season.

The fact that the school on the hill was his father’s alma mater only added to Loneker Jr.’s desire to become a Jayhawk. But he and his father said there never was any pressure to follow in dad’s footsteps.

“If he wanted to go to K-State, I wanted him to go to K-State,” the proud papa said Tuesday. “If he wanted to go to Baker, I wanted him to go to Baker. But, man, I’m jacked. I am. Because I know that growing up he always wanted to go to KU.” Out of high school, Loneker received interest from a handful of D-I schools but not many scholarship offers. That led him to Baldwin City, where he played for former KU linebacker Jason Thoren — a Lawrence High grad — and worked to improve his strength, speed and ability to make plays.

It was Thoren’s influ-

ence, both on Loneker Jr.’s game and his mind, that inspired him to make the leap.

“I’m not gonna lie, I doubted (whether I could play Div. I football) when I went into Baker,” Loneker Jr. said. “But I did a lot of work (last) summer, and having a good year at Baker and listening to coach Thoren tell me I am able to play at that level, that really reassured me.”

His father, who stood 6-foot-3, 305 pounds his senior season at KU and spent four seasons in the NFL after college, offered similar support.

“There’s no doubt in

my mind that he can play here,” Loneker Sr. said.

“Zero.”

That’s what made for such an enjoyable exchange when the younger generation recently confirmed to his father that he would spend the next few years wearing a KU helmet and playing in the same stadium his father once did.

“He obviously was very excited,” Loneker Jr. recalled. “But he’s just that type of guy that wanted to leave everything up to me and let me make my own decision. Getting to see the grin on his face when I told him I’m going to KU was pretty special.”

“Once you get here, you really realize this is a big deal,” Selden added.

touchdown passes at the age of 43.

If Higbie failed, he would join the ranks of cinematic loser Uncle Rico of “Napolean Dynamite” fame. (Except for the hair. Higbie’s white, wavy locks are authentic.

Uncle Rico wore some variation of road kill on his head in the form of a bargain toupee.)

“How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?” Uncle Rico boasted. To say that Uncle Rico short-armed his throws would be an insult to every short-arming thrower in the history of mankind. He was awful.

The line between hero and bum in sports can be that thin. Sometimes, there is no middle ground.

After three tosses that traveled 35 or fewer yards, Higbie put his lower body into one, just as his nephew Brian Heere had advised, and the buzz from the crowd built. It fell a yard short. But unlike Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch in the Super Bowl, Higbie was calling the plays and would get more attempts. Could he do it?

Was he just warming up, or would the near miss take too much out of him physically, emotionally, psychologically? Tough call at that point.

After several more throws, Higbie took a break and declared it halftime.

Upon resuming, none of his tries matched that fourth, the near miss that, I feared at that point, would haunt him for the rest of his days on God’s green earth and man’s artificial turf.

Then, just as the crowd grew restless, Higbie launched a high-andmighty beauty. Robbie Vannaman caught it. Madi Vannaman’s arms went up, signalling he had surpassed the 40-yard mark.

Bedlam.

The Dustin Johnson-like pressure Higbie had been carrying was swallowed up by a smile of victory.

The old Wellsville High two-way lineman had nailed his 15th throw of fame, and nobody will ever be able to take that away from him.

Just as important, a group of friends had rightly calculated that finding an excuse to get together for a good time on a hot summer night beat watching TV in the comfort of air conditioning. Higbie threw a football he said he had purchased at Target for $9.99 slightly more than 40 yards in the air, and they all threw another log on the fire of good times that with seasoning will become good memories. They proved that children on hiatus from school don’t have a monopoly on summer fun.

Ryan, 67, has led the Badgers to back-to-back Final Four appearances and a 357-125 record in 14 seasons.

Self didn’t hear about Ryan’s announcement until he was told of the news in an interview, but he said he will miss the coach he battled against in the Big Ten for three seasons at the University of Illinois.

“That’ll be tough for the Big Ten,” Self said.

“Bad for the Big Ten. Bad for our college game, but it’s also great, though.

Self doesn’t expect Bragg to miss any time.

“Well, that’s not an injury,” Self said. “A turned ankle is actually a worse injury than a broken nose, although the broken nose hurts bad. But really no concussion symptoms. It’s one that you come back (from).

“It’s just can you play without being nervous about getting hit,” Self added. “He can do that.

In all honesty, it’s probably not bad for him to play through some stuff.

But it would be nice if we could find a mask, but I don’t think we’re going to be able to. He can’t hurt it worse. He’ll wait to have surgery until he gets back to straighten it up, but he should be fine.”

Kansas University on Tuesday officially announced that Jessica Washington, one of the top-ranked guards from the 2013 recruiting class, will transfer to KU from North Carolina.

“Jessica is a floor general with great vision and a high basketball IQ,” new KU coach Brandon Schneider said. “She is an outstanding playmaker who can create shots for both herself and her teammates. Her ability to stretch the defense with her range and play off the bounce make her a very tough cover. She’s exactly the type of addition we need as we strive to build our program into a perennial NCAA Tournament participant.”

A 5-foot-8 guard,

Washington was a 2013 McDonald’s All-America selection and ranked the No. 14 overall player and No. 2 guard in her class

by ESPN HoopGurlz. She becomes the second KU women’s basketball player to earn McDonald’s All-American honors out of high school and first since 2003 when Lauren Ervin garnered the accolade.

Washington participated in the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) High School All-America game after averaging 23.8 points and 7.7 rebounds during her senior campaign at Jenks High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Last season, Washington played in 35 games for the Tar Heels and averaged 18.3 minutes per

contest. She registered 7.3 points and 2.4 rebounds per game while shooting 37.4 percent from the field. Washington had 37 assists, 26 steals and three blocks as a sophomore, while connecting on 36.4 percent of her shots from beyond the arc.

During the 2013-14 campaign, Washington appeared in all 37 games and made 13 starts for North Carolina. She averaged 5.4 points, 2.1 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game.

She scored in double figures seven times, including a season-high 16 points in a road win at UCLA. Washington will sit out during the 2015-16 season to comply with NCAA transfer rules and will have two seasons of eligibility remaining.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Montgomery 1-hits Padres The Associated Press

Interleague Mariners 5, Padres 0 San Diego — Rookie left-hander Mike Montgomery took a no-hit bid into the seventh inning and finished with a one-hitter for his second straight shutout as Seattle beat San Diego on Tuesday night.

Making his sixth majorleague start, Montgomery opened the seventh by getting Justin Upton on a fly to left. Yangervis Solarte hit Montgomery’s next pitch into the leftfield corner for a double.

Until then, the closest the Padres came to getting a hit was Melvin Upton Jr.’s sinking liner to center, but Austin Jackson made a shoestring catch.

Smoked pork chops at Hank Charcuterie, 1900 Massachusetts St.

THE PERFECT PORK CHOP

By Joanna Hlavacek

Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna

Pork chops are a favorite of Hank Charcuterie owner/chef Vaughn Good’s all year round, but he says those cooking the sweet meat at home this summer might need to pay special attention to their pork chops when using a grill.

“A lot of times, people tend to dry out pork in the summer when they cook it on the grill,” he

says. “Grilling is a pretty aggressive heat source, so your meat on the outside can get done before the inside, which tends to dry the whole thing out.”

That’s where brining comes in. Good likes to brine his chops in a salt solution mixture that involves, among other ingredients, maple syrup and brandy. He says the brine keeps pork “super moist,” even on the grill.

This recipe, courtesy of Good, works for both smoked and grilled pork chops. It’s probably best

(according to Hank Charcuterie)

for a bone-in rib chop, but lends itself nicely to boneless chops as well, he says.

Sweet corn ice cream topped with caramel popcorn

Sweet corn makes even sweeter ice cream

E

very time I tell someone I’m making sweet corn ice cream, I’m met with suspicious stares or, on occasion, downright anger. “Why,” they cry, “would you ruin perfectly good homemade ice cream by putting a vegetable in it?”

My 6-year-old son nearly cried when I first asked him to try it.

I promise everyone that this is a standard dessert in Mexico, and I dare say I’ve improved on that version because I tend to be averse to actual frozen kernels of corn in my cream, so I’ve

The Flying Fork

Megan Stuke found a way to get the milky sweetness and light corn flavor into my ice cream without sacrificing a pure and velvety texture.

My 6-year-old is now a re-

ally big fan, by the way.

You can dress up sweet corn ice cream with blackberries or raspberries or nuts or even chocolate, but I tend to prefer it unadulterated so I can really identify that corny deliciousness. It’s combining my two favorite summer things — garden-fresh corn and homemade ice cream — into a beautiful duet.

Sweet Corn Ice Cream Ingredients 3 ears sweet corn, cleaned

1 cup milk 2 cups heavy cream 1 cup half and half 2 eggs 1 egg yolk 1 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions Cut the raw corn from the cob and combine with a cup of milk. Blend thoroughly (I use a stick blender for this) and then push the liquid through a mesh strainer.

In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and egg yolk, and then add the rest of the ingredients

and beat until the mixture gets a little bit thick.

It’s best if you can chill this for a few hours or overnight, but if you are like me and you don’t have time for that kind of planning ahead, just go ahead and put it in your ice cream freezer and eat it as soon as it’s frozen.

I always top mine with caramel corn, but berries or chocolate sauce are good, too.

Mango salad with chicken makes most of seasonal bounty Shopping list To buy: 1 bottle lowsodium soy sauce, 1 bottle rice vinegar, 1 bottle toasted sesame oil, 1 package fresh or dried Chinese noodles, 10 ounces roasted or rotisserie boneless, skinless chicken breast, 1 mango, 1 package shredded cabbage, 1 package shredded carrots, 1 package washed, ready-to-eat Romaine lettuce, 1 bunch cilantro, 1 bunch scallions and 1 bottle roasted, unsalted peanuts.

Staples: Minced garlic.

By Linda Gassenheimer Miami Herald

Ripe, juicy mangoes are just waiting to be picked this time of year.

Mango season is one of my favorites. And it’s a big crop this year.

If you’re looking for ways to use mangoes, try this simple salad featuring mangoes, chicken and Chinese noodles.

Here are some tips on how to handle a mango: Mangoes continue to ripen after they are picked. Keep them at room temperature until they yield to gentle pressure. To speed up the ripening, place mangoes in a covered bowl or paper bag.

The recipe calls for mango cubes. Slice off each side of the mango as close to the seed as possible. Take the mango half in your hand, skin side down. Score the fruit in a crisscross pattern through to the skin.

Bend the skin backwards so that the cubes pop up. Slice the cubes away from the skin. Score and slice any fruit left on the pit.

Another quick method is to slice off each side of the mango as close to the

Chinese Mango and Chicken Salad seed as possible. Hold the mango half in the palm of your hand and scoop out the flesh with a spoon.

Cut off any remaining mango pulp from the pit.

Sesame oil lends a nutty flavor to the dressing.

Toasted sesame oil can be found in most supermarkets. I prefer its more intense sesame flavor.

Fred Tasker’s wine

suggestion: This would be nicely matched by a wine with a hint of sweetness. Maybe a German riesling.

Helpful hints l White vinegar diluted with a little water can be used instead of rice vinegar. l Any variety of cooked chicken strips,

Patrick Farrell/Miami Herald

pieces, roasted or rotisserie can be used. l Dried Chinese noodles or angel hair pasta can be used instead of fresh ones. l Minced garlic can be found in jars in the produce section of the market. l A quick way to slice scallions is to snip them with a scissors.

2 scallions, sliced 2 tablespoons roasted, unsalted peanuts Place a medium saucepan filled with water on to boil over high heat.

Mix the soy sauce, vinegar, garlic and sesame oil and set aside.

When water comes to a boil, add the noodles. Boil 2 minutes and drain in a colander. Rinse with cold water. Set aside.

Mix chicken, cabbage, carrots, lettuce, noodles, mango and cilantro in a large bowl. Add the dressing and toss well. Divide between two plates and the scallions and Chinese Mango sprinkle peanuts on top.

More Evidence that Vitamin D Supplements Prevent Infections

In a recent review article, researchers from the MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas, discussed the bioactive effects of other compounds found in turmeric root. These other compounds, called curcumin-free turmeric have anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-diabetic properties. One of them, elemene, is being used in China as an adjunct treatment of cancer.

Some of the other compounds include turmerin, turmerone, and furanodiene.

The findings did not focus specifically on colds and flus, but on infections in general.

And while the results of the study did not reach statistical significance, there were unmistakable positive trends. Overall, people taking vitamin D were 28 percent less likely to have antibiotics prescribed for them. Among people 70 years of age and older, vitamin D was associated with a 47 percent lower likelihood of getting antibiotic prescriptions.

Numerous studies have found that vitamin D activates a variety of germ-fighting immune compounds, and some research has found that it can lower the risk of colds and flus. Now a team of Australian researchers has found that vitamin D can reduce the need for antibiotics, an indirect sign of the vitamin’s infection-fighting potential.

Aggarwal BB. Molecular Nutrition and Food Research, 2013: doi 10.1002/mnfr.201200838.

Reference: Tran B, Armstrong BK, Ebeling PR, et al. Effect of vitamin D supplementation on antibiotic use: a randomized controlled trial. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2013: doi 10.3945/ajcn.113.063271.

Rachel E. Neale, PhD, of the Queensland Institute of Medical Research, Australia, and her colleagues gave 644 people, ages 60 to 84 years, monthly supplements containing one of the following: (1) 30,000 IU of vitamin D3, (2) 60,000 IU of vitamin D3, or (3) placebos.

No one took the supplements for more than a year. The dosages were equivalent to taking 1,000 IU or 2,000 IU daily.

L-arginine may beneďŹ t blood sugar

Turmeric compounds may help in cancer

Researchers at the University of Copenhagen tested the effects of L-arginine supplements on both thin and obese laboratory rats. Supplementing the animals’ diets led to a 40 percent decrease in blood sugar in both types of mice.

Numerous studies have focused on the anti-cancer effects of curcuminoids, a group of compounds found in turmeric root. The dried and ground up root is a common spice in Southeast Asia.
