If you’re seeing bats, you’re not alone

If you’ve been outside around nightfall, you’ve likely seen their angular silhouettes overhead, but

the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department is urging residents to be on the lookout for bats indoors as well.

Court budget bill ‘actions of a tyrant,’ judge says Threatens to challenge Brownback, Legislature over separation of powers

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — In a case that is gaining national attention, a district court judge in Kansas on Wednesday threatened to challenge the constitutionality of this year’s judicial budget bill, saying it violates the separation of powers doctrine and threatens the independence of the state judiciary.

The threat came in a brief filed by attorneys representing Larry T. Solomon, chief judge of the 30th COURTS Judicial District in central Kansas, who is suing to challenge part of last year’s judicial funding bill.

That bill tied judicial funding to several changes in substantive law, including one that stripped the Kansas Supreme Court of its power to appoint chief judges in the local courts. Solomon is currently the longest serving chief judge on the Kansas bench, with more than 25 years in that position.

Yeah, it’s frustrating, but I’m honestly glad for them. Because nothing ruins my day like going to the scene of an accident where a driver died because of not wearing a seat belt, because of being drunk or because of just taking that turn too fast.

The Kansas Department of Transportation reported this week that law enforcement issued 180 speeding tickets on Kansas Highway 10 over the month of June.

Moran: Kansas’ Army posts spared from major cuts

By John Hanna Associated Press

Topeka — Kansas has been largely spared in the Army’s plans to cut active-duty troops over the next two years, with Fort Riley and Fort Leavenworth slated to lose fewer than 700 soldiers, U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran said Thursday.

The Kansas Republican, a member of the Senate Appropriations defense subcommittee, was formally notified by the Army as it announced plans to reduce its activeduty force by 40,000, or about 8 percent, to 450,000. Like Moran, other state officials saw the numbers as good news.

The two Kansas posts have about 19,300 soldiers, so the reductions are about 3.5 percent. Moran said Kansas officials feared Fort Riley, home to the Army’s storied 1st Infantry Division, would lose a brigade, or 4,000 soldiers, along with thousands of civilian employees. “I never thought we would be spared completely,� the senator said in an Associated Press interview. “If the Army is going to reduce their forces by 40,000 military men and women, it’s probably unrealistic — it’s unrealistic — to expect there to be nothing at Fort Riley and Fort Leavenworth.�

The Army did not provide post-by-post figures for reductions in civilian employees, though it said it would trim their num-

bers by 17,000.

Moran said Kansas “dodged a bullet� because the reductions are smaller than expected.

U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins, a Republican representing the 2nd District of eastern Kansas, said she believes the overall reductions are “severely misguided� but that the limited reductions in Kansas forces show their critical role in the nation’s defense.

“

Though I’m sure those 180 drivers weren’t thrilled, I can only hope that law enforcement prevented a few accidents with those tickets.�

Here are a few other citation data I dug up that you might find interesting: l Douglas County

sheriff’s deputies took part in a special traffic enforcement program funded by a Kansas Department of Transportation grant last week.

During the one-afternoon enforcement period, deputies made 35 stops and dished out 29 speeding tickets, according to the sheriff’s office. They also

issued citations for other violations like failure to evacuate an emergency lane and failure to signal a lane change.

The KDOT grant funds one enforcement day per month between April and September.

Deputies focused on aggressive drivers, looking for violations like speeding, following too closely and improper/unsafe lane changes, according

Marriage CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

policy change was made in a filing Thursday asking U.S. District Judge Daniel Crabtree to dismiss a lawsuit filed last year by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of gay and lesbian couples.

The ACLU challenged the state’s ban on same-sex marriage and the Department of Revenue’s refusal to allow same-sex couples to file joint tax returns.

The state’s lawyers submitted an affidavit from Department of Revenue policy director Richard Cram. He said the agency’s policy against joint tax returns for same-sex couples is

is in addition to the eight outdoor tennis courts that already exist at Rock Chalk Park and are owned by the city. When it is all said and done, that would be 20 tennis courts at Rock Chalk Park, which I assume would set the area up to host some significant tennis events.

The primary purpose of the facility, though, would be to serve the KU Women’s Tennis team.

“This will be a huge step up for our tennis facilities,” said Jim Marchiony, an associate athletic director for KU. KU currently owns the Jayhawk Tennis Center at 5200 Clinton Parkway in West Lawrence. It has only five indoor courts, and spectators often times can’t see the play that is happening on all courts.

The new facility will have spectator seating for about 500, Werner said via email. Marchiony said the athletic department is in discussions on what to do with the current Jayhawk Tennis Center once it is no longer needed for the KU tennis team. He said no decisions have been reached on that matter.

Marchiony said that the public will be able to purchase memberships and pay to reserve court time at the new facility, much like how a KU entity operates the Jayhawk Tennis Center in West Lawrence currently.

Marchiony confirmed that an entity led by Lawrence businessman Thomas Fritzel will own the tennis facility and lease it back to KU, which is a similar model KU and Fritzel have used in the construction of the soccer, softball and track and field facilities at Rock Chalk Park.

“We are very familiar with the work that the Fritzels do, and we have no doubt that this will be

. no longer valid.

In a separate lawsuit pending in state court in Shawnee County, two gay couples have sued the Kansas Department of Revenue for refusing to let them file joint tax returns.

David Brown, a Lawrence attorney representing the plaintiffs in that case, said Thursday that the state has not filed any motions in that case, but he was pleased about the federal court filing.

“I haven’t heard anything official from the courts, but I think it’s a victory for my clients,” Brown said. lll

Brownback’s chief spokeswoman says his recent executive order on same-sex marriage does not apply to local governments.

Tournament Rock Chalk Park will be hosting a major NCAA event next summer.

The track and field stadium will be the site of the NCAA Division I West regionals for men’s and women’s teams looking to qualify for the NCAA National Championships. The event is set for May 26-28, and is expected to fill hotel rooms across the city.

The event also may serve as a good audition for bigger NCAA events in the future.

Community leaders previously have said they believe the Rock Chalk Park facilities could compete to host the NCAA Track and Field National Championships.

“This is exactly what we envisioned when we planned the facility,” said Jim Marchiony, an associate athletic director for KU. “We’re excited that it is happening so soon. We want to see Lawrence filled with athletes from around the nation. That is the goal, and this is a very good first step.” one of the nicer tennis facilities in the region,” Marchiony said.

As for the location of the center, it will be on vacant ground that is just south of the soccer field and just a bit southeast of the track and field stadium. The facility is proposing to make use of existing parking lots at Rock Chalk park. The plans do not call for any new parking to be built as part of the center.

The project will need to win some approvals from Lawrence City Hall before it can proceed.

The project is seeking a special use permit that will require City Commission approval.

To be clear though, this isn’t a city project. I

Brownback spokeswoman Eileen Hawley issued a statement Thursday in response to criticism from a gay rights leader.

The order this week protects clergy, churches and religious groups that refuse to participate in same-sex weddings or provide goods, services or accommodations for them. The order says state agencies and political subdivisions shall not punish them for acting on their opposition to gay marriage.

Equality Kansas Executive Director Tom Witt said cities, counties, school districts and other local governments fall under the definition of political subdivisions. An American Civil Liberties Union attorney agreed.

But Hawley said the orknow the ins and outs of Rock Chalk Park can be a little tough to comprehend. But it is important to remember that the city paid for its $10.5 million recreation center but KU and the Fritzel entity paid for the construction of the softball, soccer and track and field facilities. The city paid for about $12.5 million worth of parking lots, roads and other infrastructure shared by the city recreation center and the other facilities. This tennis facility would use that shared infrastructure.

The softball, soccer and track and field stadiums did receive some other incentives from the city, including a 10-year, 100 percent property tax abatement that was approved by the previous city commission. Werner said in his email that “no incentives are being requested” for the project.

The proposed tennis facility gives us a good opportunity to remember what else may be built at Rock Chalk Park in the future.

The tennis facility was included in the original plans for Rock Chalk Park but was labeled as a future phase. Also included in that category of future projects: l An indoor arena with “3,000 seats for sporting events and an additional 800 seats for concerts.” l A 4,000-seat amphitheater. l A lacrosse field.

I’ve heard no discussion about whether those projects are likely to come forward in the future or are longer-term dreams at this point. But the arena and amphitheater components serve as a good reminder that Rock Chalk Park may become more than just a place for KU to host its athletic events. There’s potential for it to become a regional events facility that goes beyond sports.

Contest winners include: Samuel Xu, of the United States; Chi Barry Zhang, of China; and Anastasia Magamedova, of Tajikistan.

Tickets for the concert cost $10 for adults and $8 for students, and can be purchased at the door. Children under 8 can attend for free.

Library group plans summer book sale The Friends of the Lawrence Public Library group is holding its first four-day summer book sale now through Sunday.

Used books, CDs, DVDs, audio books, puzzles and games donated to the organization will all be for sale, said board member Beth Cigler.

Typically the organization holds a spring and fall sale, but because of the library’s extensive renovation at 707 Vermont St. and an uptick in donations, the group decided to test the waters with a summer sale.

Everything is priced at $2 or less, Cigler said.

Children’s books and paperbacks are priced at 50 cents and hardbacks are priced at $1.

The sale began for Friends of the Lawrence Public Library members on Thursday. It opens to the public between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. today and Saturday and between noon and 4 p.m. Sunday.

der is a sufficient response to the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage across the nation.

Kansas had banned gay marriage and refused to recognize such marriages from other states. Brownback said the high court ruling is a potential threat to religious liberties.

His order Tuesday told Kansas government agencies that they can’t punish ministers or religious groups for opposing same-sex marriage.

The chamber said it recommends against expanding the order’s scope or enacting a broader religious objections law because it worries about burdens on business.

“As expected, the Army is being forced to make difficult decisions due to federal budgetary constraints,” Republican Gov. Sam Brownback said in a statement. “Although no cuts would be preferable, many other installations fared significantly worse.”

Moran said Kansas officials were able to dispel questions about Fort Riley’s ability to deploy soldiers to overseas missions from the middle of the U.S. A large Kansas National Guard training range near Salina — available for the Army’s use — also was seen as an important asset, he said.

The senator, who has met with Army officials seven times since February, said its officials noted that several thousand people turned out for a town hall meeting in Junction City in February to show their support for keeping Fort Riley’s troop and civilian employee numbers intact.

Moran also noted that the military has invested $1.8 billion at Fort Riley over the past five years, on new housing and schools and a new hospital.

Fort Leavenworth is home to the Army’s officer-training Command and General Staff College, giving it a unique role for the military branch, Moran said.

to the sheriff’s office. l Over the Fourth of July weekend, the Kansas Highway Patrol issued 685 speeding tickets, 412 speeding warnings, 101 adult seat-belt citations, 17 child seat-belt citations and six teen seat-belt citations, KHP spokesman Lt. Adam Winters said.

All of those numbers are down from last year’s Independence Day weekend enforcement period.

In 2014, troopers doled out 969 speeding tickets, 610 speeding warnings, 231 adult seat-belt citations, 30 child restraint citations and nine teen seat-belt citations across the state, Winters said.

Troopers also responded to two crashes during the 2015 holiday weekend enforcement period, which ran from 6 p.m. July 3 to 11:59 p.m.

Sunday, Winters said.

Both of those accidents, one in north central Kansas and one in south central Kansas, were fatal. Neither was alcohol related. In 2014, there was one fatal, non-alcohol related crash during the same holiday period.

Healthy outreach A new KU Hospital program could be a life saver in many small Kansas communities.

O

ne of the most important — and appreciated — services Kansas University can provide across the state is improved access to medical care.

Providing high-quality health care in rural areas can be challenging. Declining populations make it difficult to attract and hold onto medical specialists in many fields. The distance to major medical centers also can pose a potentially life-threatening situation for patients in crisis.

A recent Journal-World story details a new effort by the KU Hospital to extend the hospital’s expertise in stroke and heart attack care to the rural areas of Kansas. A $12.5 million grant from the U.S. Center of Medicare and Medicaid Services Innovation Center allowed for the creation of the Kansas Heart and Stroke Collaborative. Teams from the new collaborative are working with 14 small medical centers in the western part of the state. All of the hospitals are smaller than Lawrence Memorial Hospital, but it would be nice to see LMH also forging stronger ties to KU Hospital.

The approach is multi-pronged. The first part is to try to head off health crises by providing education treatments and lifestyle changes that reduce the risk of strokes and heart attacks. Knowing that many people wait too long before seeking medical help, the education element also includes information about what signs and symptoms warrant an emergency call.

The KU plan also includes care that follows patients back to their homes in small communities. That involves hiring care coordinators who make sure that patients take their medications properly and make and keep follow-up appointments with their doctors. The plan also envisions a system of health coaches to encourage patients to monitor their condition and increase their physical activity.

In emergency situations, intervention by a trained specialist can make a vital difference. Because those specialists aren’t available in much of rural Kansas, using technology to link to specialists in other areas is an important part of the plan. Initially, KU plans to contract with a South Dakota company to provide telemedicine services, linking small Kansas hospitals directly to emergency physicians and nurses. Eventually, if that system works well, KU Hospital hopes to set up its own emergency telemedicine links to its specialists in Kansas City.

KU plays a unique role in training doctors and other medical experts for Kansas. Much attention has been focused on training more primary care physicians who may choose to practice in underserved areas of the state. That’s an important need, but those doctors also need the support of specialists who likely aren’t available in their area. KU Hospital already provides some level telemedicine assistance to doctors across the state, but the new stroke and heart attack program is an important and life-saving addition to KU’s medical services across the state.

The Islamic State’s orgy of brutality Washington — Reporting about the Islamic State inevitably means watching their videos, but that’s not something I would wish on anyone. The group has created a public theater of death on the Internet — beheading people, drowning them, burning them, breaking their bones.

This extreme brutality is part of the Islamic State’s brand. It is meant to horrify, and it succeeds. The ultraviolent images serve to intimidate enemies and, to a disturbing extent, motivate young recruits. The jihadist “knights,” as they imagine themselves, have created a distinct form of modern communications warfare.

But such public displays of cruelty are hardly new or unique. People sometimes describe the Islamic State’s actions as “medieval” because they recall the public torture that was once common in the city squares of Britain, France and other European nations.

The Islamic State’s innovation has been to put this sort of mayhem online. The audio is narrated with Quranic phrases and backed by Arabic chants known as “nasheeds.” But the video images evoke a barbarism that transcends religion or culture. The jihadists stand alongside the German Nazis of the Holocaust and Torquemada and his confessor-priests in the Spanish Inquisition. The jihadists probably think they are emulating Americans’

“

People sometimes describe the Islamic State’s actions as ‘medieval’ because they recall the public torture that was once common in the city squares of Britain, France and other European nations.” waterboarding of al-Qaeda members. That was torture; it wasn’t a grisly public execution.

If you mute the chanting, you can see the fellowship that the Islamic State truly embraces. The group is the latest evidence of a nearuniversal human capacity to barbarize those seen as “others,” as nonbelievers, and treat them as a different form of life.

Over the past few weeks, the Islamic State has released several especially disturbing videos from Iraq. I’ll describe them by quoting the language used by the SITE Intelligence Group, a private monitoring service that collects and translates jihadist material.

A video from Nineveh province shows the execution of 16 suspected spies “by drowning them in a cage, shooting a car in which they sit with an RPG and immolating them, and beheading them with explosive cord wrapped around their necks.”

Another video from Fallujah shows the execution of four alleged homosexuals “by throwing them from the roof of a building.”

The macabre images are celebrated by the Islamic State. The group’s Al-Hayat Media Center last week selected the Nineveh burning, drowning and beheading as No. 1 on its top-10 list of videos from Iraq.

What is the root of these unspeakable actions? Philosophers and anthropologists have studied the question as a way of assessing human nature in its most raw and uncivilized form. Elaine Scarry, a Harvard professor of literature, explored in her 1985 book, “The Body in Pain,” a process she described as “the conversion of real pain into the fiction of power.”

In medieval times, the venue for this show of power was usually a gathering place that was almost literally a theater.

The sense of theatricality continues. “It is not accidental,” Scarry writes, “that in the torturers’ idiom, the room in which the brutality occurs was called ‘the production room’ in the Philippines, the ‘cinema room’ in South Vietnam, and the ‘blue-lit stage’ in Chile.”

French philosopher Michel Foucault saw the level of brutality in punishment as an index of the evolution of society. Gruesome public executions were common in Europe until the late 18th century. Slow, painful deaths were often part of the spectacle. The guillotine, which we now regard as cruel, was seen at the time of the French Revolution as humane because it was a “machine for the production of rapid and discreet deaths.”

Foucault described in his 1975 book, “Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison,” the pre-modern penal ethic that now seems to have been embraced by the Islamic State: “Not only must people know (the punishment), they must see with their own eyes.

Because they must be made to be afraid; but also because they must be the witnesses, the guarantors.”

With their weird mix of modern and pre-modern, the Islamic State has revived the old practice of torture as a public exhibition — and also given it the sheen of a video game.

We should separate audio and video when thinking about the Islamic State. The sounds may be drawn from Muslim tradition. But the images have no religion or foundation except as evidence of the tragic human capacity for taking pleasure in the suffering of others.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for July 10, 1915: years “Many automobile ago travelers and ownIN 1915 ers of cars here are complaining of the poor method of doing the grading on the Golden Belt route from here to Eudora. There is also a bad mudhole on the California road a few miles out. One man complains that the other day he went to Eudora in his car and that it took him two hours to make the trip, all because the grading was being done so slowly. “ — Compiled by Sarah St. John

Gerrymanders won’t end with ruling The Supreme Court’s decision to allow a redistricting commission set up by Arizona voters holds the potential of reducing the rampant gerrymandering that has virtually guaranteed a Republicancontrolled U.S. House until at least 2022.

And that would be a good thing, since partisan redistricting in a half-dozen states has skewed the makeup of the House of Representatives, which James Madison said was supposed to display “fidelity and sympathy with the great mass of the people.”

But it probably won’t happen.

The reason: It’s almost impossible to take politics out of the process by which legislatures re-draw legislative and congressional district lines after every census to reflect population changes. Every unequal redistricting has essentially resulted from an election.

Most of today’s anomalies stem from Republican 2010 successes in electing the legislators who redrew lines in key states after that year’s census. They produced these GOP House majorities in states that voted Democratic in most recent presidential elections: Florida, 17-10; Michigan, 9-5; North Carolina, 10-3; Ohio, 12-4; Pennsylvania, 13-5; Virginia, 8-3; Wisconsin, 5-3.

An even division of seats

Carl Leubsdorf carl.p.leubsdorf@gmail.com

in those states would have reduced the current GOP margin by two-thirds and given the Democrats the House in 2012, when they received a majority of congressional votes.

But Republicans, who spent all but four years in the House minority from 1931 to 1995, are unlikely to cede power without a fight.

“For 40 years, the Democratic Party had the pencil in their hands, and for the last 20 years, we had the pencil,” House Speaker John Boehner told the Cincinnati Enquirer last December in opposing any changes in the legislature’s redistricting process in his home state of Ohio. “When you’ve got the pencil in your hand, you’re going to use it to the best of your advantage.”

Of course, redistricting isn’t done by pencil anymore, if it ever was, but by sophisticated computers that enable the majority to maximize its advantage. That makes it easier to produce the majority party’s desired result.

But gerrymandering itself is hardly new; the term stems from the 1812 handiwork of Gov. Elbridge Gerry in redrawing Massachusetts’ state Senate districts to benefit his Democratic-Republican Party, the forerunner of today’s Democrats.

As Boehner correctly notes, Democrats did their best to maintain their House majorities for decades, especially in the South and in California, where the late Rep. Phil Burton crafted a Democratic congressional majority before the state turned reliably Democratic.

In Texas, Democrats did an especially masterful job in 1991 by creating three new minority-controlled Democratic districts while temporarily protecting three white Democrats at a time the state was becoming increasingly Republicans.

In 2011, the GOP-controlled legislature gave Republicans all four new congressional districts. But, unlike the Democrats, they didn’t protect minorities at a time that 65 percent of the state’s increased population was Hispanic, so a federal court threw out the plan as violating the Voting Rights Act. Another federal court produced a revised map, giving each party two of the new districts, and the legislature eventually acquiesced.

Some post-2010 cases are still pending, In Virginia, a federal court threw out the legislature’s redistricting plan, throwing the issue back to lawmakers. Democrats might ultimately gain an additional seat or two.

But that won’t have much effect, nor will most commissions created at the behest of good government groups, simply because they are in states with delegations too small to produce major changes.

The Arizona ruling will only have a real impact if voters in the largest states act to take redistricting out of the hands of their legislatures. There seems little likelihood of that happening anytime soon.

And though some Democrats think they could regain the House with a landslide presidential victory in 2016, few expect that result. Instead, they’ll have to do the nitty-gritty work in the 2018 and 2020 gubernatorial and legislative elections, which will determine who controls redistricting after the 2020 census.

But even that will be hard, given the fact that most of those legislatures will be elected in districts determined by those 2010 GOP successes.

National spotlight Also representing Solomon in the case is the Brennan Center for Justice, a nonpartisan law and policy institute based at the New York University School of Law. Matt Menendez, a Brennan Center attorney assigned to the case, said Thursday that he was attending a legal conference in Washington, D.C., where the Solomon case was a big topic of discussion.

“Everybody is talking about Kansas,” Menendez said. “People are terrified that this could happen in their own state. This is being seen as a template where state courts around the country could come under attack. Nobody has seen anything like it.”

In recent weeks, the battle over the judicial budget has also drawn media attention from the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and the American Bar Association Journal.

An editorial last month in the Los Angeles Times called the situation an “unholy mess” and accused the Legislature of a kind of “heavy-handed politics that would do a tinhorn dictator proud.”

What’s at stake Advocates on both sides of the issue say there is nothing trivial about the selection process. Chief judges, they say, have significant authority over district court budgets, allocation of court resources, hiring staff and sometimes assigning cases to the other judges.

Under a Kansas constitutional amendment approved by Kansas voters in 1972, the Supreme Court is given “general administrative authority over all courts in this state.”

The idea, Irigonegaray said, was to create a “uni-

fied” court system that would have independent authority and would be insulated from interference by the legislative or executive branches.

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt’s office, which is defending the legislation, denies that the change in selection process violates that constitutional language.

“The Supreme Court is given authority to administer the judicial branch, just as the Governor is given authority to administer the executive branch. But in both cases, the Legislature retains legislative power under Article II to govern that administration,” Schmidt’s office wrote in June in a brief arguing to dismiss the lawsuit.

Senate Vice President Jeff King, R-Independence, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, said during the 2015 session that the push for the change came from Wichita, where judges are elected in partisan races. King called it a matter of “local control,” saying the decision about who should hold the power of a chief judge should be made by those closest to the constituents they serve.

Critics of the law have said it’s part of a power struggle between liberal and conservative judges in Wichita who often have different legal perspectives on issues like abortion, gun rights and the rights of defendants in criminal cases.

Still others say it’s part of long-simmering resentment toward the judicial branch by Republican legislators who think the Supreme Court overstepped its bounds in 2005 when it ordered the Legislature to increase funding for public schools. They also see the new law as a warning shot to the court, which will soon hear an appeal in a new school funding suit.

“It leads me to only one conclusion, and that is that the Legislature is attempting once again to hold a gun to the head of the courts in an attempt to intimidate the courts into ruling in the school finance case in a way that pleases some members of the Legislature,” Rep. John Carmichael, D-Wichita, said in May when the House passed this year’s funding bill.

Under that new law, chief judges now must be elected by their fellow judges in the district courts.

But last year’s funding bill expired on June 30. So this year, partly in response to Solomon’s lawsuit, Kansas lawmakers passed a two-year funding bill, inserting another provision known as a “nonseverability” clause that effectively says if Solomon wins his case challenging the new selection process, all funding for the judicial branch of state government for the next two years becomes “null and void.”

“I have never heard of such a thing,” said Pedro Irigonegaray, a Topeka attorney representing Solomon in the case in Shawnee County District Court.

“This action by our Legislature and our governor strikes me as the actions of a tyrant who says either you do it my way or I’m going to wipe out the ability of our state to have a judicial branch of government,” he said. “That’s nonsensical.”

In their brief — which went so far as to quote Magna Carta, the 13th century document that laid out the first framework for Anglo-Saxon constitutional government — Irigonegaray and other attorneys for Solomon called the nonseverability clause “unprecedented” and a direct threat to the independence of the judiciary.

“We are confident that this Court will repudiate the Legislature’s effort to improperly influence the outcome of this case and faithfully discharge its duty to decide this matter on the merits, fairly and impartially, and ignore the unwarranted intrusion by the other branches of government in the Court’s decision-making process,” the brief stated.

It continued: “In the event that this Court finds that (the new selection process) is unconstitutional, we are prepared to immediately bring suit challenging the validity of (the) nonseverability provision and seeking to preliminarily enjoin its operation so

as to preserve the judicial appropriations for 2016 and 2017 pending a final adjudication.”

Attorneys for the state have filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing there has been no constitutional violation. District Judge Larry Hendricks, who is presiding over the case, has not said whether he will hear oral arguments on the case or issue a ruling based on the briefs.

Homicide rates surge in several American cities Aamer Madhani USA TODAY

After seeing years of decline in violent crime, several major American cities experienced a dramatic surge in homicides during the first half of this year.

Milwaukee, which had one of its lowest annual homicide totals last year, has recorded 84 murders this year, more than double the 41 it tallied at the same point last year.

Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn said the mounting homicide toll in his city of 600,000 is driven by Wisconsin’s “absurdly weak” gun laws (carrying a concealed weapon without a state-issued concealed carry is a misdemeanor in the Badger State), a subculture that affirms the use of deadly violence to achieve status and growing distrust of police.

Baltimore, New Orleans and St. Louis have seen the number of murders jump 33% or more in

Big cities saw homicides said.

WASHINGTON FBI Director James Comey said Thursday that federal authorities disrupted an undisclosed number of suspected plots timed to the July Fourth holiday to “kill people in the United States.”

All of the plots, Comey said, involved suspects associated with the Islamic State.

The director said more than 10 people have been arrested in the past four weeks on charges related to their association with ISIL, and some of those involved plans timed to July Fourth.

Comey, speaking with reporters at FBI Headquarters, declined to elaborate on the nature of the planned attacks, where they were targeted or how far plans had advanced. He did, however, refer to a number of previously publicized arrests during the past month involving ISIL suspects.

The director did not refer to specific arrests, but among those charged during the time were three New York men alleged to have discussed the construction of a pressure-cooker bomb, similar to the devices detonated near the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon.

One of the New York suspects, Fareed Mumuni, 21, was charged with attempted murder for allegedly attacking an FBI agent with a kitchen knife during a search of his home. The search was related to the broader ISIL-inspired investigation.

After his arrest, according to the federal complaint, Mumuni agreed to speak with investigators, saying he had pledged allegiance to ISIL and had intended to join the group’s ranks abroad.

If he was unable to travel, Mumuni allegedly told investigators that he “intended to attack law enforcement officers.”

Comey also suggested some of the arrests involved lesser charges than actual terrorism offenses, as investigators sought to quickly disrupt the alleged activities.

In advance of July Fourth, the FBI and Department of Homeland Security had issued a warning of possible terror activity timed to the holiday.

That bulletin, the director said, was prompted by the “overall threat” posed by ISIL and other extremists.

“This is sort of the new normal,” Comey said, referring to the continuing threat posed by ISIL.

Government office says hack affected more than 21M Lawmakers call for officials’ resignations David Jackson and Erin Kelly USA TODAY

A second massive hack of background check records at the Office of Personnel Management compromised the data of more than 21.5 million people — five times more than were affected by an initial breach, the agency announced Thursday.

In the first hack, which was revealed early last month, OPM officials said personal information WASHINGTON

from the personnel records of about 4.2 million current and former federal employees had been breached.

A second, related hack hit the background check forms of people applying for jobs that required security clearance. OPM officials said Thursday that an interagency investigation of that data breach concluded that sensitive information — including Social Security numbers — was stolen from 21.5 million people.

The victims of that second hack include 19.7 million people who applied for a background investigation, as well as 1.8 million others who were not applicants.

BLOOMBERG

Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah

The non-applicants were primarily spouses and cohabitants of the applicants, and their personal information was included in the background check forms the applicants were required to com-

plete. The breach is likely to have affected any federal applicant over the past 15 years, and perhaps longer.

For any individual who underwent a background check since 2000, “it is highly likely that the individual is impacted by this cyber breach,” the OPM statement said. “If an individual underwent a background investigation prior to 2000, that individual still may be impacted, but it is less likely.”

The statement said there is no information to suggest “any misuse or further dissemination of the information that was stolen from OPM’s systems.”

Two federal employee unions

sued OPM for failing to protect their personal information.

Thursday’s announcement further outraged House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, who has called for the resignation of OPM Director Katherine Archuleta and Chief Information Officer Donna Seymour. “As I’ve said since June 16, after the Oversight Committee held the first hearing on this disastrous data breach, Director Archuleta and CIO Donna Seymour need to resign or be removed,” Chaffetz, R-Utah, said.

The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security are investigating the hack.

BUSH & CLINTON ON BUSH VS. CLINTON

Political odd couple have become dear friends over the years despite divergent views, and they maintain their close bond even as another family feud could be ahead. They expect a Jeb Bush-Hillary Clinton bout would be hard-fought, and that’s as it should be.

Susan Page @susanpage USA TODAY

Bill Clinton and George W. Bush agree on this: Learning leadership skills is crucial in just about every worthwhile endeavor in American life, political and otherwise.

That said, they couldn’t disagree more on who exactly would have the right leadership skills in 2016 to warrant winning the White House job they both held.

In a rare joint interview, the two former presidents who share what may be the most complicated political relationship in modern times sat down with USA TODAY Thursday at the Bush Presidential Center. They were together for the graduation ceremony of the inaugural class of Presidential Leadership Scholars, a project sponsored by four presidential libraries that has offered leadership training for 60 midcareer professionals who work for non-profit groups, privatesector firms, state and local agencies and in the military.

The participants aren’t really politicians. “People hear this and they say, ‘You’ve got a Young Republicans Club’ or ‘Clinton’s got a Young Democrats Club,’ (but) that’s not the intention at all,” Bush said. “The intention is to take people who have shown good promise and let them learn some lessons about how decisions were made or how people collaborated.”

“There might be nothing we can do anymore about how fractured America is politically and ideologically,” Clinton said. “But in the end, people have to get together and make decisions and do things — not just in Congress and the White House, but I mean all over the country.”

It was impossible to ignore the DALLAS

Clinton’s wife, Hillary, is the clear front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016.

Bush’s brother, Jeb, is in the top rank of contenders for the Republican nomination.

Friends today, combatants tomorrow?

“He loves his brother; I love Hillary,” Clinton said. If they win their presidential nominations, “he’s going to vote for his brother; I’m sure going to vote for Hillary,

and something will happen. But we’ll still be friends.”

“I know Jeb will treat Hillary with respect, and I’m confident Hillary will treat Jeb with respect,” Bush said. “I’m not sure I can speak that highly of some of the surrogates they may have out there, but these two surrogates will” do that as well.

The two men sat side by side on a couch in Bush’s private office on the campus of Southern Methodist University. They had just finished having a class photo tak-

en with the program’s scholars.

They were relaxed and at ease, friendly and deferential to one another. “Sometimes the decisions we make have bigger consequences,” Clinton said, describing how presidential leadership is different from other jobs. “No question,” Bush chimed in.

When Bush noted, “A president, it turns out, has to be prepared for the unexpected,” Clinton nodded and said, “Yes,” then discussed the challenges Bush faced when the 9/11 attack-

ers struck during the first year of his tenure.

They said neither believes a 2016 Clinton-Bush campaign would be waged any differently because of their friendship and collaboration — nor do they think it should.

“I don’t think it’s going to be different,” Bush said flatly. “I think it’s going to be a political campaign.”

“If they win the nominations, it’s going to be a very hard-fought campaign, and if it’s like any other campaign, it’ll be somewhat bruising, and the surrogates will be really tough, and they’ll have hard debates, and we’ll just live with it,” Clinton said.

His advice to the prospective candidates: “Make the choice clear: ‘This is where I am; this is where he is.’ Be as accurate as you can, and let it rip.”

The two got to know each other under hostile circumstances, during what Bush called “the first Bush-Clinton race,” which he wryly notes “didn’t turn out that well” for his side. In 1992, Clinton defeated the elder George Bush in his bid for a second term. In 2000, the younger Bush defeated Clinton’s vice president, Al Gore.

Another contest between the families in 2016 would break new ground.

Though they differ in party registration and often on policy positions, they share some fundamental characteristics, Bush said.

“First of all, we’re Baby Boomers, and the only two Baby Boomer presidents. Secondly, we were both governors of Southern states, Arkansas and Texas.” He said both were “affable people; we’re not zero-sum thinkers.”

Clinton became so close to the elder Bush after their election showdown that the younger Bush calls him his “brother by another mother.” Clinton made a similar reference when Bush turned 69 this week, a month ahead of Clinton. (“For one month a year, I’m the younger brother,” Clinton said.)

“I just wrote him a birthday note because he just had a birthday,” Clinton said. “So I said, ‘Now we have a genuine family feud, maybe we ought to go get that guitar player from Deliverance and get him to play for us.’

Remember that movie? I mean, the banjo player, the dueling banjos.”

VOICES

Rock simply isn’t ready to roll over From left, Trey Anastasio, Phil Lesh and Bob Weir of The Grateful Dead perform at the Grateful Dead Fare Thee Well Show in Chicago on Saturday.

Mike Snider @MikeSnider USA TODAY

Is rock dead?

The Who suggested that with a bit of irony more than 40 years ago. But these days, it sure may seem like rock ’n’ roll is on its last legs. Look around a week after the final shows by the remaining members of the Grateful Dead, and many of rock’s other road warriors have more than a touch of gray themselves.

Fans of rock music may feel they are stuck in the past, as pop torchbearers such as Taylor Swift and Katy Perry, hip-hop musicians such as Nicki Minaj and pop-country artists such as Florida Georgia Line steal the modern-day thunder.

One could argue that the dearth of new talent has helped classic rockers such as AC/DC, Rush, Styx and Def Leppard draw increasingly younger crowds.

As for the Dead, their jammy, head space music didn’t catch on with everyone. But the band has been influential.

On stage, the Dead took pride in mixing up set lists and not playing songs the same way twice.

That strategy led to fans following them for multiple dates. The Dead didn’t wait for broadband and wireless connectivity to build their own social network. They let fans tape and trade their live shows, and they sold tickets directly through the mail.

While not a Deadhead, I enjoyed two of the band’s farewell concerts via pay-per-view television.

Amid the Dead’s three-night run in Chicago, I returned to D.C.’s Robert F. Kennedy Memori-

Shop in New York City a few weeks ago and caught a young band called the Dolly Spartans.

“It sounded like a Rolling Stonesish Strokes,” he said. “Really great songwriting and really great playing. ... They had the whole thing.

That really inspired me. We are good. Rock is in a good place.”

Long live rock!

Corrections & Clarifications

JAY BLAKESBERG, INVISION FOR THE GRATEFUL DEAD

al Stadium, where I once saw the Dead, for another concert, a daylong July 4 festival headlined by the Foo Fighters.

Frontman Dave Grohl chose the date and site because it was 20 years before that the Foo Fighters’ debut album came out — and the gig would be in his hometown.

Many of the rockers who shared the bill were, shall we say, experienced. Heart and Joan Jett played smoking sets. They are not the future of rock, but they sure could inspire the next generation.

Rock music is in a tough place, Jett said backstage after her set.

“It’s not like rock of yesterday, is it? It really suffered,” said Jett, who is 56 and has been opening shows for The Who. “I think it coincided a little bit with social media. There should always be a mystique of rock ’n’ roll. The fact that every little thing was known about every little band, I think that took away that mystique.”

But there are signs of life. Be-

fore the Foo Fighters closed the show, blues legend Buddy Guy spotlighted Quinn Sullivan, a 16year-old touring guitarist in his band.

And the Foo Fighters expect to be around for a while. This summer, the 46-year-old Grohl will tour while on the mend; he broke his right leg last month during a show in Sweden.

“I’m pretty surprised he wanted to soldier on,” said guitarist Chris Shiflett. “The band is in a great place.”

The Foos aim to step up their game. Having toured the U.S. last year making the Sonic Highways HBO documentary and an album of the same name, “going forward every album is going to need to have more of a purpose or theme behind it to structure the songs around,” bass player Nate Mendel said.

There is also new blood flowing out there. In Kansas City — my old home turf — there’s a slew of bands emerging from a grow-

ing network of clubs. Beautiful Bodies just released its first album, Battles, and it is currently on the Warped Tour. Lead singer Alicia Solombrino channels Chrissie Hynde, Gwen Stefani and Hayley Williams of Paramore.

I have a personal stake in another K.C. band, Radkey, because I hosted the members at my home on one of their initial East Coast forays.

A trio of brothers, ages 17 to 22, who play blistering, no-holdsbarred, Ramones-influenced rock, Radkey has its first longplayer, Dark Black Makeup, coming out Aug. 21.

Rock ’n’ roll is here to stay, it will never die, Philadelphia’s Danny & the Juniors declared nearly six decades ago. But it needs nurturing.

Thirtysomething blues guitarist Gary Clark Jr., who also performed at the Foo Fighters festival, believes that. He happened into a club called the Cake

FLAG FLAP PUTS SPENDING BILL IN CONGRESS ON HOLD Amendments on use of banner in cemeteries spur debate, accusations of racism in House Susan Davis USA TODAY

House GOP leaders were forced Thursday to pull a spending bill from the floor after an amendment regarding the display of the Confederate flag sparked a swift and angry backlash from Democrats.

“House Republicans want to keep the Confederate flag — and all that it stands for — flying high,” said Rep. Dan Kildee, DMich., one of a number of Democrats who took to the floor late Wednesday and early Thursday to denounce Republicans with accusations of racism.

Republicans caught off guard by the intensity of the rebuke said the amendment was only intended to clarify established and new guidelines on the use and sale of the Confederate flag set by the Obama administration.

Party leaders pulled the bill to try to defuse the situation.

“I do not want this to become some political football,” said House Speaker John Boehner, ROhio. “I want members on both sides of the aisle to sit down, and let’s have a conversation about how to address what frankly has become a very thorny issue.”

The House had been debating the annual Interior Appropriations bill, which sets funding for the Forest Service, the Smithsonian Institution and other agencies.

The House this week had approved without opposition a trio of amendments, including one by Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., to prohibit federal funds for the purchase or display of the flag on any lands overseen by the National Park Service and two amendments by Rep. Jared HuffWASHINGTON

man, D-Calif., to prohibit the use of flags on graves of Confederate soldiers and to ban the park service from selling merchandise with flag imagery on it.

A bloc of southern lawmakers took issue with the gravesite prohibition, in part because 10 Southern states observe Confederate Memorial Day, an official holiday on which Confederate graves are often decorated with the flag, and often by family descendants.

In consultation with GOP leaders, Rep. Ken Calvert, R-Calif., the

“I do not want this to become some political football.”

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio

bill’s chief sponsor, announced late Wednesday that there would be another flag amendment intended to assert that the flag can be displayed in narrow circumstances.

That amendment spurred the Democrats’ criticism.

According to 2010 Interior Department guidelines, states that honor Confederate Memorial Day may permit groups at no public cost to decorate the graves of Confederate soldiers “with small Confederate flags” that must be “removed from the graves as soon as possible” after the holiday.

“The intent of the leadership’s amendment was to clear up any confusion and maintain the Obama administration’s policies with respect to those historical and educational exceptions,” Calvert said.

As for the Interior spending bill, Boehner said it would be set aside “until we can come to some resolution on this.”

Secretary of State John Kerry said Thursday “tough issues remain unresolved” in talks to curb Iran’s nuclear program, and the United States is prepared to walk away if they’re not settled.

“We believe we are making real progress toward a comprehensive deal,” Kerry told reporters in Vienna, where the talks are taking place. “But ... we are not going to sit at the negotiating table forever.”

World powers — the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany — have been seeking an agreement to limit Iran’s nuclear program in return for lifting U.S. and international sanctions that have crippled Iran’s economy. The U.S. goal in the talks is to prevent Iran from

Rep. Jenny Horne made an emotional plea to lawmakers.

‘The world is watching’: A stirring appeal at 11th hour John Bacon USA TODAY

It was late Wednesday night and the debate over removing a Confederate battle flag from South Carolina’s Statehouse lawn was dragging on.

Foes of the plan had made inroads. Talk of a compromise permeated the stale air of the historic House chamber. Then, Republican Rep. Jenny Horne took the podium, speaking forcefully and shaking with emotion.

“I cannot believe that we do not have the heart in this body to do something meaningful such as take a symbol of hate off these grounds on Friday,” she said, failing to fight back tears.

A short time later, the House rejected a proposal to replace the flag with another Confederate banner. And shortly after midnight a “clean” bill, already approved by the Senate, to move the flag to a nearby museum was sent to GOP Gov. Nikki Haley.

CARLOS BARRIA, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Secretary of State John Kerry says the U.S. is prepared to walk away rather than make a bad deal.

Haley signed it, using nine pens, to cheers in a packed Statehouse later Thursday.

Horne was a key player in making that happen.

In her impromptu, fourminute speech before the House, Horne warned that failing to remove the flag immediately would show that lawmakers “do not care that someone used this symbol of hate to slay ... innocent people who were worshiping their God. I’m sorry, I have heard enough about heritage.”

The married mother of two says she was deeply moved by the grace with which families of the shooting victims handled the tragedy. Some, within days of the bloodbath, said they had forgiven suspect Dylann Roof.

After the final vote, Horne said she had spoken up because she felt the debate was drifting away from the victims — and that the drive to remove the flag was imperiled.

“The world is watching,” she said. “This issue is not getting any better with age.”

producing a nuclear weapon, which Iran says it does not seek.

“If, in the end, we are to reach a deal, it has to be one that stands the test of time … a test for decades,” Kerry said, adding he would not be rushed.

Many members of Congress skeptical of making a deal with Iran have urged the Obama administration not to be bound by deadlines and to focus on getting a good agreement.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the effort will last as long as there is progress.

If “there does not seem to be a constructive engagement on the part of the Iranians to resolving the remaining sticking points in the negotiations, then the president won’t hesitate to bring his team home,” Earnest said.

The deadline for the current talks was extended from June 30 to Friday. The talks snagged on two issues: the sequence of lifting sanctions and whether they could be easily restored if Iran doesn’t comply with its obligations; and if sanctions relief would include international arms embargoes.

ISIL LEADER IN AFGHANISTAN REPORTEDLY KILLED BY DRONE

MASKED INVADERS KILL COUPLE, SPARE 5 CHILDREN

A senior leader for the Islamic State in Afghanistan, which is currently embroiled in a feud with the Taliban over who will conduct the insurgency there, has been killed in a U.S. drone strike, local media reported Thursday.

The strike killed Shahidullah Shahid and more than two dozen militants in eastern Afghanistan south of the city of Jalalabad.

The drone strike was Tuesday, the same day Taliban officials met for the first time with an Afghanistan delegation in Islamabad, Pakistan, to open peace negotiations.

The Pentagon said Thursday that “precision strikes” by U.S. forces were carried out Monday and Tuesday south of Jalalabad “against individuals threatening U.S. and coalition forces.” There was no elaboration.

Masked men stormed a Bradenton, Fla., home early Thursday and killed two people, sparing five children who were home at the time, police said.

The victims are Kantral Brooks and Esther Deneus, both 29, who were not married but apparently living together with the children as a family, police said.

Bradenton Police Chief Mike Radzilowski said the children were running around inside the house when police arrived after the home’s alarm system went off at about 3:50 a.m. ET Thursday.

Police said four or five men broke through glass windows on the double front doors and shot the couple.

The children, ages 1 to 11, are in the custody of other family members. It was unclear how much of the crime the children witnessed.

IN BRIEF GEORGIA, TEXAS ARMY POSTS TO BE HIT HARDEST

The Army likely will have to dismiss soldiers to meet its goal of slashing 40,000 from its ranks, a top officer said Thursday.

Posts from Georgia to Hawaii will lose soldiers under the Army’s plan to reduce its force to 450,000 soldiers by 2018. Some soldiers likely will get pink slips, Brig. Gen. Randy George said.

He blamed budget uncertainty and the prospect of automatic spending cuts set to go into effect in October.

USA TODAY first reported the details of the troop cuts Tuesday.

Attrition will account for some of the reductions, but George said the Army expects layoffs.

Among the hardest hit Army posts: Fort Benning, Ga., with a loss of 3,402; Fort Hood, Texas, with 3,350; and Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska with 2,631. — Tom Vanden Brook

HIGHLIGHT: ACROSS THE USA

Bumblebees stung by climate change Traci Watson

Special for USA TODAY

Across Europe and North America, wild bumblebees are vanishing from the southern edges of their territories, according to a new study of 67 species published in this week’s issue of the journal Science.

The bees are also passing up the opportunity to venture farther north, where temperatures have risen. As a result, bumblebees — vital pollinators already struggling to fend off disease and habitat loss — are being inexorably squeezed into smaller and smaller home ranges.

“These species are at serious and immediate risk of rapid human-induced climate change,” University of Ottawa’s Jeremy Kerr, the leader of the study, told reporters Wednesday.

“This is a huge loss, and it has happened very quickly.”

The seemingly fragile butterfly has adapted to warming by flapping northward into previously unexplored territory, and many birds have done the same.

So Kerr and his colleagues decided to see whether bumblebees were also rolling with the climate punches. The researchers compiled a database of some half a million bumblebee sightings over more than a century, then compared sightings before and after 1974.

ILLINOIS Springfield: Kumler

United Methodist Church plans to replace stones knocked off the roof by an apparent lightning strike, facilities trustee Jim Herrin told The State Journal-Register.

SOUTH CAROLINA Clemson:

Someone painted graffiti on a wall at the back entrance to Tillman Hall on the campus of Clemson University that included the phrase “Tillman was a violent racist,” The Greenville News reported. The building is named after Ben Tillman, a founder of the institution who espoused violence against blacks during the post-Civil War era.

JEREMY T. KERR

Rather than moving northward to colonize in warmer areas, bumblebees have seen their territories shrink.

Despite warming of nearly 5 degrees in northern regions, bumblebees failed to push northward into newly toasty areas. Instead they only disappeared from southerly places that became too hot, some retreating nearly 200 miles from what had been their southernmost border.

Bumblebees are being crushed “in a kind of climate vise,” Kerr said. “They just aren’t colonizing new areas and establishing new populations fast enough to track rapid, human-caused climate change.” argued in a motion to dismiss the case in 67th District Court, the Detroit Free Press reported.

RHODE ISLAND Newport: The French frigate Hermione arrived at Fort Adams, the Providence Journal reported. The ship is a reproduction of the Hermione that arrived in 1780 to help fight the Revolutionary War.

It’s not clear why the bees don’t push northward, but the researchers note that the bees evolved in cool, not tropical, places, so their biochemical machinery may be creaky at sweaty temperatures. The researchers did not find a link between the shrinkage of the bees’ sanctuaries and changes in land use. Nor did they link the bees’ retreat with pesticide use in the United States.

“Maybe they will move in the future” on their own, Kerr said.

But “to date, and despite a lot of warming, it has not happened.”

Traders bide their time Wednesday after trading at the New York Stock Exchange was halted because of a technical glitch.

ed, any outstanding orders placed on the NYSE were canceled, systems were restarted and trading was shifted to backup units at the NYSE’s Mahwah, N.J., data center so trading could resume. Smaller company stocks were trading again at 3:05 p.m. NYSE primary listings resumed at 3:10 p.m.

The fact U.S. listed stocks continued trading all day Wednesday — despite a halt at the NYSE — is considered to be a victory of the redundancies of the market structure. There are now roughly 13 stock market exchanges, most of which can handle trading in all stocks. When the NYSE went down, trading seamlessly shifted to other exchanges.

the lenders to take right now because the combination of having to write a new check and write down the old debts immediately would be a heavy burden.

Longer term, everybody knows something’s going to have to be done to compromise the Greek debt. But my guess is the way it will be done is to postpone the deadlines, cut the interest rate even further and therefore effectively reduce the burden of it, but probably not change the theoreti-

cal principal amount.

Q: So you do think then that we will get a deal on Sunday that includes a restructuring of debt and some of these big issues that the eurozone leaders wanted, like a restructuring of the pensions, like higher taxes?

A: Yes, they already have indicated that the Greek side will make specific proposals relating to tax reform and to the pensions.

Of the two, the harder one for the

Greeks is the pensions. The tax reform they have been wanting to do anyway. They’ll probably skew it very much toward the high-end earners.

The hard part’s going to be how real and meaningful are the reforms to the pensions because the pension payments are 18% of the Greek economy. And that compares with 7% in Ireland and 5% in the U.S.. So, it’s totally out of whack, and it’s the monster that has to be fixed.

Chinese stocks rebound, but few rejoicing Hannah Gardner

Special for USA TODAY BEIJING Chinese stocks shot into positive territory Thursday as the government announced more measures to shore up the nation’s beleaguered markets.

The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index jumped 5.8% to 3,709.33, its biggest rise since March 2009, while the CSI300 index of China’s biggest listed companies surged 6.4% to 3,897.63. The Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China’s second exchange, ended up 3.76% or 70.90 points to 1,955.35.

The meteoric rise comes after

weeks of drops where more than $3 trillion was wiped off the value of Chinese shares.

Analysts and investors were reluctant to celebrate the gains.

Some said the government’s intervention could do more harm

than good in the long run.

“Today is the first day that prices go up, so I can’t say it is a good time to buy. I will see how it goes in the next few days,” said Daniel Zheng, a student who has $48,000 in the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges.

Individual investors like Zheng are part of the reason the Chinese government has moved so aggressively to halt the massive sell-off.

As the stock market soared in the past year, the government encouraged small investors to reap the virtues of a free market. But now that the market has crashed, the government is rushing to prevent a backlash over losses investors have suffered. About 90 million Chinese citizens invest in

the stock market. When the market began to fall in mid-June, there were angry scenes at public trading centers and pleas for the government to save the day.

Over the 12 months leading up to the recent crash, the Shanghai Composite Index grew 150%. It has since lost more than a third, so people who invested early are still ahead. It is the late buyers who are suffering now.

China’s Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) announced ahead of the markets opening Thursday that holders of more than 5% of a company’s stock would be barred from selling for the next six months. The Ministry of Public Security vowed to seek out “malicious short sellers.”

Traders might want to postpone lunch Friday. Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen is giving a speech on the outlook for the U.S. economy — and will field questions from the audience — that could offer clues into the U.S. central bank’s most current thinking about the timing of its interest rate hikes.

At 12:30 p.m. ET on Friday, the Fed chief will deliver a speech in Cleveland that will be closely watched by Wall Street.

The reason: the Fed hinted at its June meeting that it has not ruled out a so-called rate-hike “liftoff” this fall, perhaps as early as September. But recent turbulence abroad, including Greece’s debt crisis and the stock rout in

Facts about America’s investors who use SigFig tracking services:

China, has some Wall Street pundits betting that the Fed may delay hikes until later in 2015 or even next year.

The market is “looking for any indications that global concerns are weighing on the Fed decision.

That’s it,” says Bill Hornbarger, chief investment strategist at Moneta Group.

Adds Boris Rjavinski, fixed-income strategist at UBS: “They claim to be data-dependent, so which particular data matters to them most — the labor market, inflation or GDP? How worried are they about Greece and China?

What do they think about current market volatility in the context of a potential rate hike later in the year.”

In short, Wall Street will try to gauge whether the recent turbulence abroad will outweigh the improving domestic situation and put the Fed back on hold.

Investors proving to be bullish on ‘dangerous’ stock

Q: Should I invest in Alcoa now?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Alcoa (AA) holds a special place with investors since it kicks off earnings season. But that doesn’t mean it should hold a special place in your portfolio.

Shares of the aluminum maker gained roughly 3% Thursday as investors looked at the positives of the company’s secondquarter profit results. The brightest spot is the fact the company is remaining on target for the future. Alcoa told investors it expects global aluminum demand to increase 6.5%, which is what investors expected.

Investors are braced for Alcoa’s adjusted profit to fall 9% this year to 84 cents a share, S&P Capital IQ says. But where things get more interesting is in 2016, when investors expect adjusted profit to rise 23%. Such bullish projections perhaps explain why Wall Street analysts on average think Alcoa will be a $15.03 a share stock in 18 months. If they’re correct, that would be roughly 36% upside. But investors understand full well that projections aren’t in the bag and much can happen to well-laid plans.

New Constructs, a firm that estimates what stocks are worth relative to expected future cash flow, is much more conservative than Wall Street on Alcoa. New Constructs says the stock is “dangerous.”

Remember, if you own the Standard & Poor’s 500, you own Alcoa.

Walgreens knocks ‘interim’ off CEO’s title as profits rise Kevin McCoy USA TODAY

Walgreens Boots Alliance named Stefano Pessina its CEO Thursday and raised its full-year fiscal guidance as the drugstore giant reported third-quarter results that beat Wall Street forecasts.

Pessina, the former executive chairman of Europe-based pharmacy chain Alliance Boots, has served as interim CEO since the company completed its merger with Walgreens in December. He succeeded former Walgreens

CEO Greg Wasson, who retired with the finalization.

James Skinner, executive chairman of the combined company’s board, hailed Pessina’s handling of the transition.

“In Walgreens Boots Alliance’s initial six months as a newly combined company, Stefano has done an extraordinary job leading the new enterprise, focusing our strategy while enhancing our financial performance,” Skinner said. “The integration of Walgreens and Alliance Boots is proceeding exceptionally well.”

Deerfield, Ill.-based Walgreens Boots Alliance reported $1.3 bil-

lion in thirdquarter profits, or $1.18 a share.

The result was up from $714 million, or 74 cents a share, for the same period in 2014.

ThirdStefano quarter sales Pessina revenue totaled $28.8 billion, a 48.4% increase from last year.

Financial analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters had forecast earnings per share of 87 cents on revenue of $29.62 billion.

The results sent the company’s shares up 4.24% to a close of $89.55 in Thursday trading.

The world’s largest drugstore chain raised its fiscal 2015 fullyear net earnings guidance to $3.70 to $3.80 a share. The company had previously predicted $3.45 to $3.65 a share.

Walgreens Boots Alliance also boosted its dividend 6.7% to 36 cents a share, up from 33.8 cents.

The upbeat results were driven in part by higher U.S. sales. The company’s domestic retail division, which included Walgreens and Duane Reade stores, reported third-quarter sales of $20.4 bil-

lion, up 5.3% from last year.

Pharmacy sales at stores open at least one year increased 9.1%, while the number of prescriptions filled increased 4.1%, Walgreens reported.

The company has also moved to cut costs, having previously announced plans for $1.5 billion in reductions. Walgreens Boots Alliance said it completed nine of 200 planned U.S. store closings during the third quarter, with 70 to 80 additional closings planned by the end of the fiscal year.

The company said it expected to achieve at least $1 billion in combined net synergies.

Growing pains take a toll on ‘Masters of Sex’ Enough with the kids, bring back the grownups MASTERS OF SEX Showtime

eegE Sunday, 10 ET/PT

The times they are a changin’ on Masters of Sex. And that’s not really such a good thing.

For its third season, this semihistorical drama is exiting the ’50s, a decade it pretty much had to itself, and leaping into the mid’60s as Bill Masters and Virginia JohnPREVIEW son (Michael Sheen ROBERT BIANCO and Lizzy Caplan, as wonderful as ever) get set to publish the book on human sexuality that made them worldwide celebrities.

But while the time jump is troubling, the real issues tarnishing the luster of this once-sterling series are a loss of focus and an increasingly heavy hand when it comes to illustrating the complexities of Masters and Johnson’s odd relationship.

Sunday’s return flashes between Bill and Virginia’s first news conference and a getaway vacation they took with Libby (Caitlin Fitzgerald) and the show’s version of the children — including Virginia’s now-adolescent Tessa and Henry.

Libby has come to an accommodation with the three-way relationship she finds herself in, but the children have not. They act up in ways that throw the episode

MICHAEL DESMOND, SHOWTIME

Virginia Johnson (Caplan) and Bill Masters (Sheen) take their relationship into a new decade in Season 3 of Masters of Sex. off course and threaten to derail the series by pushing Virginia into a mistake that drastically changes the course of her life.

Granted, despite its real-life inspiration, Masters is a work of fiction, andit can’t be expected to follow every detail of the real story. Dramatists always deviate from the truth, and for good reasons — among them, to condense an otherwise unmanageable narrative; to illustrate some greater truth about the times or the characters; or simply to tell a tale that is more involving than a slavish dedication to facts would allow.

But creator Michelle Ashford’s latest twists don’t seem to be accomplishing any of those goals, particularly now that the children

are of an age where every plot point seems designed to reflect on their parents. So we get an oversexed teenager repeating her mother’s mistakes and a son whose story exists to drag in one of the decade’s great societal divides. And that twist pushes Virginia into a story that insults the sense, bravery and legacy of the real Johnson and deviates from her private and public lives.

All of this, by the way, comes at the expense of seeing more of an underused Annaleigh Ashford as Betty. Here’s a quick tip: Give us half the teen time and triple the Betty time and the show’s entertainment value will skyrocket.

That’s one change even Masters and Johnson might support.

For many new home buyers, the meaning of “new” means a house never lived in before and built to fit their specifications and lifestyle. If this is your dream, then you will need to hire a builder to make your vision a reality. How do you get started?

The first step is to decide what type of builder fits your needs. Some are spec builders who purchase the land and build a house, speculating they will find a buyer once it is done — or almost done. Others build semi-custom homes, offering a selection of floor plans from which a buyer can choose a favorite and then tweak to fit their styles. Semi-custom homes can be built on the customer’s land or on property owned by the builder. Then there are custom builders who construct

a home on the customer’s land according to the customer’s design.

“When I initially make contact with people, I will ask them questions to make sure I’m the right builder,” said Kelly Drake of Mallard Homes. “Do they want the house built in Lawrence? What size and style of house are they looking to build? The first mistake I see is the customer hasn’t been honest with themselves about what they want and how much it will cost.”

One place to start your builder search is with the Lawrence Home Builders Association at www.lhba.net. The members list provides contact information for builders in the area.

Next, once you have a list of builders, schedule interviews with them. Ask how long they

have been in business, if they are licensed and insured, and if they offer a warranty on their work. Ask for references. Also, make sure they explain the entire building process and what you should expect.

One handy tip for finding a builder is to drive around an area with newer homes that fit what you want on a warm Saturday morning. Often the homeowner will be outside doing yard work, or there might be a garage sale or two, which will give you the opportunity to introduce yourself to the residents and ask questions about their building experience.

Perhaps the most important aspect of the customer-builder relationship is communication.

You should feel comfortable working with someone on such a

The Lawrence Home Builders Association is a great resource for home buyers interested in a custom home.

“When I initially make contact with people, I will ask them questions to make sure I’m the right builder,” — Kelly Drake of Mallard Homes. major project.

“This is a relationship that at a minimum lasts six months to a year,” Drake noted. “Look for somebody that has been around and has experience. Trust your instincts. If someone offers to do the job way cheaper or faster than anyone else, it probably is

too good to be true. It is a huge deal for people to build a home, so we owe it to them to do our best.”

Bolton no longer with KU football

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

JAYHAWKS IN SOUTH KOREA

Making strides Mickelson showing improved production

A Kansas University football spokesperson confirmed to the Journal-World on Thursday that senior defensive lineman Andrew Bolton was no longer with the team.

Bolton, a former juniorcollege transfer who sat out in 2013 and played in 11 games a season ago, was projected to play a big role for KU’s defensive line this season. As one of the few returning D-Linemen with game experience, Bolton’s 6-foot-3, 293-pound frame would have served the Jayhawks’ well on the interior, where they will be thin after losing most of their beef from 2014 to graduation.

Injured from the outset of his KU career, Bolton never really materialized into the difference-maker many thought he would be coming out of Hinds Community College. Ranked by Rivals.com as a three-star prospect, Bolton chose Kansas over offers from Iowa, LSU and Mississippi State.

He spent much of his first year in Lawrence feeling homesick, and not being able to play while nursing an injury did not help matters.

In 2014, he finished with 16 tackles, including 1.5 sacks and 3.5 tackles for loss, and appeared to get stronger as the season progressed.

Royals complete sweep of Rays Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Jarrod Dyson did his best impression of Alex Gordon with his glove. Lorenzo Cain and Salvador Perez did the same with their bats.

Along with a strong return from the disabled list for right-hander Yordano Ventura, the Kansas City Royals proved with an 8-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday that they could be just fine without their injured star outfielder.

“We do have a confident team here,” said Royals manager Ned Yost, whose team completed a four-game sweep of the Rays. “We think we can get through these things. We think we have the ability to overcome these things.”

Earlier in the day, the Royals announced that Gordon would miss at least eight weeks with a severely strained groin muscle. Even in the best-case scenario, that would put his return at some point in September, when the Royals hope to be in the thick of the playoff chase.

In the meantime, they’ll have to do without him.

“Next guy in line has to step up. That’s it,” said Dyson, who started in Gordon’s place and made a spectacular over-the-shoulder catch at the wall in left to set the tone in the first inning.

Ventura (4-6) allowed three runs and four hits and Please see ROYALS, page 3C

Following his performance against Serbia, Mickelson added six points, four rebounds and two steals in Thursday’s 96-57 victory against Switzerland. The Jayhawks will face Lithuania in the World University Games quarterfinals at noon Saturday (10 p.m. today CDT on ESPNU).

“Hunter has unbelievable bounce and enthusiasm right now,” Self said. “Now Wayne (Selden) has been the star of the show. There’s been no doubt he’s been the best player that we’ve had, hands down, easily since we’ve been here. But I think Hunter has maybe been the secondbest player that we’ve had.

Lithuania ‘excited’ about matchup

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Gwangju, South Korea — Playing for a spot in the World University Games quarterfinals, Lithuania hit big shots in the fourth quarter to beat Australia, 74-67, on Thursday at DongKang College Gymnasium.

Lithuania’s reward for the victory is a matchup with the United States men’s basketball team at noon Saturday (10 p.m. today on ESPNU).

“I mean, who wouldn’t be excited?” Lithuania’s 6-foot10 center Egidijus Mockevicius said. “Of course it’s going to be a tough opponent.

We’re going to try to do our best. We’re going to do our scouting.”

Along with its victory against Australia on Friday, Lithuania beat Finland, Japan and Chinese Taipei by at least 16 points in pool play.

“They’re two different types of teams,” Mockevicius

said of Australia and France.

“Same as like Taipei and Japan. We have to prepare. The game plan is always different and it happens with … each team. It was kind of weird.

For example, in the United States, most of the teams play the same basketball. Asia is just completely different. But we’re excited to advance in the quarterfinals.”

Mockevicius said he knows plenty about Kansas basketball. The senior at the University of Evansville was a first-team All-Missouri Valley selection last year after averaging 14.8 points, 9.9 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game. His average of 7.7 defensive rebounds per game ranked fourth in the nation last season.

“I try to follow both (the NBA and NCAA),” said Mockevicius, who leads the tournament in field goal percentage (60.5). “During the main season, I watch NBA. During the student season, I watch NCAA. I have no preference of who wins or not.”

ROYALS

By Joe Kay

Cincinnati — Hits king Pete Rose said he’s “open to almost anything” that Commissioner Rob Manfred might have in mind when they discuss his lifetime ban for betting on baseball.

The former Cincinnati Reds player and manager hopes that he can informally meet Manfred — who took over for Bud Selig in January — when the two are in town next week for the All-Star Game at Great American Ball Park. Rose said they’ll meet again at some point later on to discuss his longstanding application for reinstatement.

Rose, who is now an analyst for Fox Sports, said on a conference call Thursday that he’s elated to have a chance to plead his case with Manfred.

“When you’re in my situation, you’re open to almost anything,” Rose said. “I’m just happy he’s going to review my status, and we’ll go from there.”

Rose was banned in 1989, four years after he set baseball’s hits record. After denying for years that he bet on baseball, he acknowledged doing so in his most recent autobiography in 2004. The 74-year-old Rose isn’t eligible to be elected to baseball’s Hall of Fame.

Selig didn’t act upon Rose’s petition for reinstatement before retiring. Rose said he’s uncertain what to expect from the new commissioner.

“I don’t know if I have a better chance or not,” he said.

“When you say better chance — just having him review my status, I’m happy with. I’m looking forward to sitting down one-on-one with Mr. Manfred and discussing the situation, I really am.”

Manfred has given Rose permission to go on the field before the All-Star Game on Tuesday to be honored as part of Major League Baseball’s Franchise Four promotion.

Fans got to choose four players to represent each team.

Rose was chosen along with Reds Hall of Famers Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan and Barry Larkin. He’s unsure what’s involved in the on-field ceremonies.

“Baseball has not told me as of yet,” Rose said. “Just to be able to come out from behind home plate onto the field will be a big honor for me.”

Rose attends several Reds games in his hometown each season, sitting in the stands.

He’s gone on the field at Great American one time, wearing a No. 14 Rose jersey as he stomped on first base on Sept.

11, 2010, the 25th anniversary of his record-setting hit No. 4,192.

Selig gave permission for that on-field appearance.

Rose is part of Fox’s broadcasting team for the All-Star Game. It’ll be the first All-Star Game he’s attended since his lifetime ban.

“Charlie Hustle” scored the winning run by bowling over Indians catcher Ray Fosse in the 1970 All-Star Game at Riverfront Stadium. Both got into the game in the later innings. Rose’s run in the 12th inning gave the National League a 5-4 win.

Baseball has tried to eliminate home plate collisions, so there probably won’t be a repeat of the 1970 finish.

Asked if he thinks most fans want him in the Hall of Fame, Rose said, “Most who are around baseball have a tendency to know how hard it is to hit a baseball. I hit more than anybody else.

“One thing I never did was cheat the fans,” Rose said.

GARBINE MUGURUZA OF SPAIN CELEBRATES WINNING A POINT against Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland during their women’s singles semifinal match Thursday at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships in London. Muguruza will face Serena Williams of the United States in Saturday’s final.

Muguruza will face Serena in Wimbledon final London — Her game in high gear, history in the offing, Serena Williams is perfectly content to let everyone else talk about what a victory in the Wimbledon final would mean.

A “Serena Slam” of four consecutive major titles. The third leg of a calendar-year Grand Slam. A 21st major singles trophy, one short of the Open-era record.

For now, the No. 1-seeded Williams is keeping her thoughts to herself, declaring she won’t entertain questions about those topics, even after easily dismissing No. 4 Maria Sharapova 6-2, 6-4 in the semifinals at the All England Club on Thursday to close in on the milestones.

“I don’t want the pressure of that, and I’m not thinking of that. When you talk about it every time, you can’t help but think about it,” Williams said. “It’s been OK just to free my brain from that.”

Whatever works. Clearly, Williams is doing plenty right at the moment. Particularly against Sharapova, whom she’s beaten 17 times in a row.

On Saturday, with so much at stake, Williams will face No. 20 Garbine Muguruza of Spain, who advanced to her first Grand Slam final by eliminating No. 13 Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland 6-2, 3-6, 6-3.

“If you want to win a Grand Slam, when you dream, you say, ‘I want Serena in the final,’” the 21-year-old Muguruza said. “She’s like one of the best players in all these years.”

One of?

Five women have won four consecutive Grand Slam tournaments — and Williams already is among that group, having done it from 2002-03. Only three have pulled off a true Grand Slam, winning all four majors in a single season; Steffi Graf was the last, in 1988.

If Williams can beat Muguruza, the 33-yearold American would head to the U.S. Open in August with a shot at that feat.

TOUR DE FRANCE

Another leader bites the dust Le Havre, France — The yellow jersey seems to be an unlucky charm at this Tour de France.

German rider Tony Martin started Thursday’s sixth stage in the lead and ended it in the hospital after breaking his collarbone in a crash that he caused near the finish line. He became the second race leader to pull out of the race, after Swiss rider Fabian Cancellara fractured two vertebrae in his lower back on Monday.

“The collarbone is in lots of pieces, so it was a major impact,” Martin’s Etixx Quick-Step team doctor Helge Riepenhof said. “One of the pieces came through the skin, which means it’s an open fracture.”

The crash also dragged down defending champion Vincenzo Nibali and fellow Tour contender Nairo Quintana, but they escaped with cuts and bruises. Czech rider Zdenek Stybar rode away amid the chaos to clinch his first Tour stage win.

While neither Martin nor Cancellara was a contender for the overall victory, the injuries they sustained highlight how tough this Tour has been already — and the battered riders haven’t even reached the mountains yet.

“This has been like a movie, an emotional roller coaster at this Tour,” Martin said.

With Martin out, 2013 Tour champion Chris Froome moves into the overall lead. The Briton may elect not to wear the yellow jersey on Friday — a sign of respect toward Martin under cycling’s etiquette guidelines.

And he may be better off without it.

NFL

Raiders’ great Stabler dies Ken Stabler, who led the Oakland Raiders to a Super Bowl victory and was the NFL’s Most Valuable Player in 1974, has died as a result of

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

complications from colon cancer. He was 69.

His family announced his death on Stabler’s Facebook page on Thursday. The statement said Stabler “passed peacefully” on Wednesday while surrounded by family, including his three daughters. Raiders owner Mark Davis said the team was “deeply saddened by the passing of the great Ken Stabler.”

Stabler was a four-time Pro Bowl selection with the Raiders, leading the franchise to consistent success during the 1970s, including a 32-14 victory over the Minnesota Vikings in the 1977 Super Bowl.

The Foley, Alabama, native threw for 27,938 career yards over 15 seasons.

Goodell: Brady decision ‘soon’

Baseball

Time

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said a decision on Tom Brady’s appeal of his four-game suspension “is coming soon” and could happen as soon as next week, according to CNBC. Goodell made his comments to CNBC on Thursday while attending a tech and business conference in Sun Valley, Idaho.

Goodell will decide Brady’s fate after declining a request in May by the NFL Players Association to recuse himself and appoint a neutral arbitrator to hear the case.

The Patriots quarterback’s appeal of his suspension took place on June 23 at the league’s headquarters in New York and went deep into the night. Jeffrey Kessler, the attorney representing the NFLPA, told Newsday that Brady was “there to the bitter end” of the 11-hour hearing. Kessler also said he believed the Brady camp “put in a very compelling case.”

Brady, the four-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback, was suspended for the first four games of the 2015 season after being implicated in the Wells Report that found the Patriots had used underinflated balls in the AFC Championship Game against the Indianapolis Colts in January. Brady is hoping to have his suspension erased or reduced.

McDonald charged in assault San Francisco — Former San Francisco 49er defensive tackle Ray McDonald was charged with domestic violence and false imprisonment in connection with allegations he assaulted his ex-fiancee while she held their 2-month-old child, prosecutors said Thursday.

McDonald was also charged with child endangerment and violating a court order, the Santa Clara County district attorney’s office said. The false imprisonment charge is a felony while the other counts are misdemeanors.

He was arraigned on Thursday but did not enter a plea. He is due back in court in August.

Calls to McDonald’s attorney, Steve Defilippis, were not immediately returned.

Prosecutors said police responded to a domestic disturbance at a home around 4 a.m. on May 25 and found McDonald had broken into the woman’s bedroom and assaulted her while his driver tried to stop him and she tried to get away.

McDonald cornered the woman in a dining room and trapped her there before she told investigators he chased her into a bathroom and repeatedly bumped her while trying to grab her cellphone, according to investigators. It continued in the bedroom, where the woman said McDonald jabbed at her head with a finger and tried to pull her off the bed. Part of the incident was caught on cellphone video the woman took.

McDonald eventually left the scene, but then returned as police were interviewing the woman, whom authorities haven’t identified, before his driver sped away, prosecutors said.

McDonald’s mom, LaBrina McDonald, told KNTV in San Jose it was a “simple argument that got blown out of proportion,” and the charges were “political.”

rebounds per game. He leads the USA squad with four blocks and has seven steals in the five pool play games. He ranks third among all players in the tournament shooting 60 percent from the field (22-for-37).

“This kid wants to play so bad that even since he’s been here, he works out every morning at 6 a.m.,” Self said. “Maybe not on game days, but in addition to doing everything else. Six a.m., I know he comes from a military background, but myself, everybody else, laying around in bed trying to steal as much sleep as possible. He’s really taken advantage of his opportunities.”

Mickelson, a transfer from the University of Arkansas in 2013, downplayed his early starts in the morning, but certainly is spending as much time on the court and weight room as he can to prepare for his senior season.

“I get up in the morning and I’ve been working out and stuff out there in the (athletes) village,” he said. “They have a little weight room and whatnot. Then, of course I shoot with the team whenever we go shoot and stuff like that.

I don’t know, more of it is I just can’t really sleep.

My sleep schedule is a little messed up so I’m up at 5:30 anyhow, might as well go do something.”

With Mickelson’s contributions, the Jayhawks had a 5-0 record in pool play and plenty of momentum heading into the medal rounds.

“I’m really enjoying playing with these guys,” Mickelson said. “Everybody is doing really well.

Just one of them times everyone is clicking and it’s a good time for everybody.” l Bragg comfortable without mask: For the past two games, Kansas freshman forward Carlton Bragg has played without his face mask after breaking his nose in practice on July 1.

When he did play with the mask in USA’s first three pool play games, Bragg raised his mask over his forehead when shooting free throws.

“It was kind of frustrating me with that mask,” Bragg said. “Can’t catch the ball right. Shots not falling. It was pretty tough. I was seeing how I could play without it, and it’s pretty good.”

Bragg had nine points (4-of-9 shooting) and four rebounds in 19 minutes in the victory against Switzerland.

“I was thinking about if I got hit, it would hurt worse, but it’s fine now,” Bragg said of his nose.

“It’s been bumped but not like hit (directly).” l Veterans take freshmen under wing: Kansas freshmen Bragg and guard Lagerald Vick said they are much more comfortable on the court compared to when they first arrived in Korea.

three walks, striking out four. It was his first start since June 12, when an elbow condition began causing numbness in his hand.

“My arm felt good,” he said through a translator.

“It was strong.”

Eric Hosmer, Cheslor Cuthbert and Kendrys Morales also drove in runs off Nathan Karns (45), the latest Rays starter to get pummeled by Kansas City. The Royals scored at least seven runs in every game of their first four-game sweep since September 2008, against Seattle.

Meanwhile, the Rays were swept in a fourgame set for the second time in two weeks, after Cleveland did it June 29July 2. Tampa Bay has lost 11 of 12 overall.

“It’s just one of those parts of the season that no one can really figure out why we’re there and how we’ve got here,” Karns said, “but we’re here.”

Even without Gordon’s hot bat in the lineup, the Royals struck first for the first time during their eight games this homestand. Hosmer doubled home Alcides Escobar in the first inning, and Cain followed with his tworun shot into the stands in left field.

All three runs were scored in the first five pitches.

The Royals tacked on another run in the second when Cuthbert tripled to right.

Ventura was cruising along through four innings, shutting out Tampa Bay — which had not scored a single run to support Karns in his past three starts.

But the Rays finally broke through in the fifth

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FORWARD JAMARI TRAYLOR (31) drives to the basket during Team USA’s 96-57 victory over Switzerland in the World University Games on Thursday in Gwangju, South Korea.

The freshmen combined for 20 points and 11 rebounds in the win against Switzerland.

“Jamari Traylor, he has taken me under his wing,” Bragg said. “Showing me a lot. Showing me how to set screens. Teaching me leadership. It’s pretty good though.

“Also with (Perry Ellis), too. He doesn’t talk very much, but he leads by example.”

Vick has been impressed by KU junior guard Wayne Selden Jr., who leads all scorers in the tournament at 19.4 points per game.

“Oh yeah. He’s good,” Vick said. “I’m playing off him. He’s creating for me. He’s just making me, making everyone around him a better player because he’s like the best player here right now.” l Shooting woes: The Jayhawks shot 59 percent from the field against Switzerland, but have struggled to make shots against top opponents.

They shot under 40 percent against Serbia and Turkey.

“It’s one thing to shoot the ball well in games that

don’t count, as opposed to in competitive games, going out and performing well where you have to earn baskets,” Self said.

“I was happy everybody made shots today. But for our core group — Wayne and Nic (Moore) and Frank (Mason) and Perry — they should have made baskets today. Now they need to play like men moving forward on Saturday.” l Off-day shopping: The Jayhawks will have an off day today before beginning play in the World University Games quarterfinals at noon Saturday (10 p.m. today on ESPNU) against Lithuania.

They plan to take it easy and enjoy their final off day of the tournament.

“Tomorrow will be a shop day for our guys,” Self said on Thursday.

“Then the rest of the tournament, it’s just all basketball. We’ve kind of done our sightseeing fun, lackadaisical, goofy stuff.

But beginning the day after tomorrow, there’s nothing to do for us except focus in and try to win a medal, and that will be difficult to do.”

leads the squad at 14.4 points per game.

What’s been Lithuania’s strength in the tournament?

“Probably togetherness and devotion,” Mockevicius said. “We’ve been together for a really long time so we know each other pretty well. And our coaching staff is just amazing with how much

work they do every night — on a daily basis pretty much. We’re just fortunate to have them.

“I mean basketball is always big in Lithuania.

This tournament means like a lot to us because it’s probably our last one for most of us. We’re like 22-, 23-year old guys and that’s the limit.”

Samardzija blanks Jays The Associated Press

American League White Sox 2, Blue Jays 0 Chicago — Jeff Samardzija kept the Chicago White Sox on a roll.

Samardzija had a fourhitter, Melky Cabrera homered and the White Sox shut out the Toronto Blue Jays 2-0.

The White Sox have won seven of nine and are starting to look like the team many thought would contend for a playoff spot this season.

“If we go out and do our job, we know what the outcome is gonna be,” Samardzija said. “If we don’t, and we don’t have a strong last couple weeks of the month, we know what results gonna be, too.

“It’s in our hands here in the clubhouse and we need to take care of it.”

Samardzija (6-4) took care of things against the high-powered Toronto offense. He took a no-hitter into the sixth inning for a second straight game. It was his first complete game of the season. He struck out slugger Jose Bautista to end the 2 hour, 15-minute game and threw 108 pitches.

“He’s got a good, overpowering, live fastball and he’s got a great slider,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. “He threw the slider behind in the count and the good ones can do that. He’s easily one of the most sought-after guys out there.”

Cole Figueroa doubled twice in his Yankees debut. Jacoby Ellsbury had a tiebreaking, two-run single.

Tanaka (5-3) ended a four-start winless streak, the longest drought of his 11⁄2-year major league career. He set season highs for innings and pitches (114), striking out six and walking one. One of the runs off him was unearned.

Jesse Chavez (4-9) lost for the first time in six appearances against the Yankees, giving up four runs and seven hits in five innings. He is winless in his past three starts.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Husband’s personality changes after treatment Dear Annie: My husband and I have been happily married for 24 years. It is a second marriage for both of us.

I am 68, and he is 71.

We are still working.

Fortunately, we enjoy our professions, but my husband will not be able to retire because his former wife receives alimony for the rest of her life.

A few years ago, my husband underwent intensive treatment, including chemo, radiation and surgery, for cancer. It is not curable, and he returns for tests and treatment every few months. He also suffers from treatmentrelated issues that undermine his health.

Through all of this, he has been incredibly strong. He has fought bravely and with very little drama. He is my hero.

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

Lately, I’ve noticed some personality changes that make socializing difficult. He has always liked to talk about himself, but he’s started to monopolize conversations with friends and acquaintances. Last night, he held the conversation throughout dinner with his exploits from 50 years ago. The other guests looked miserable, and I felt unable to change the conversation. He recently

’90s comic Tucker gets new special It’s curious how old-fashioned something “new” can seem — particularly when it comes to comedy. Beginning today, Netflix is streaming “Chris Tucker Live,” touted as the comedian-turned-actor’s first fulllength comedy special.

Tucker emerged in the earlyto-mid 1990s on HBO’s theninnovative “Def Comedy Jam,” before starring in “Friday” (1995), “Rush Hour” (1998) and their sequels.

“Live” m a k e s more than a few nods to “old school” culture. It opens with a photomontage accompanied

by Stevie Wonder’s “I Wish” from 1976, and Tucker rushes onstage to the sounds of James Brown’s “Sex Machine” from 1970.

He then proceeds to greet those in the audience on first dates and explores the different ways men and women perceive dating. Listening, I was immediately struck by another extended riff, one from the stand-up comedian and titular star in the very first episode of “Seinfeld.”

The comedy about “nothing,” which ran from 1989 to 1998, is now streaming in its entirety on Hulu. Watching those old “Seinfeld” episodes, particularly from the first season, before the show found its groove and became a “must see” phenomenon, can feel like a trip to a comedy museum.

And I mean that in all the best ways. Details may change.

Smartphones and Twitter may have replaced telephones and answering machines. But comedians who find the humor in our unchanging human nature remain a perennial pleasure. Perhaps that’s why we’re always seeking out “new” material.

Tonight’s other highlights O Nolan and Berlin are on the case on “Defiance” (7 p.m., Syfy).

O Candid cameras capture strangers mulling ethical dilemmas on “What Would You Do?” (8 p.m., ABC).

O IFC wraps up its threenight miniseries spoof “The Spoils Before Dying” (8 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.).

O Surrogates in the badlands need defending on “Killjoys” (8 p.m., Syfy).

O A tank commander (Brad Pitt) leads his men into Germany during the waning days of World War II in the 2014 war movie “Fury” (8 p.m., Starz).

O “Mysteries at the Monument” (8 p.m., Travel) dusts off a vintage Hollywood scandal.

O An abandoned freighter holds surprise cargo on “Dark Matter” (9 p.m., Syfy).

O Entrepreneurs find value in junk on the series premiere of “Trashformers” (9 p.m., FYI).

interrupted a conversation to tell a story about his high school.

Our friends waited patiently, then returned to their original topic.

I’ve also noticed some memory lapses and worry that it will affect his job. One of his colleagues has commented on his forgetfulness.

I hesitate to discuss it with him because I don’t want to undermine his self-assurance at work. Depression is certainly a possibility, but he shows no particular signs of sadness or lethargy. What would you suggest I do? — Trouble in Paradise

for him to develop memory and cognitive issues, which can contribute to monopolizing the conversation and focusing on past history. These problems are not going to disappear, and eventually, they will become an issue at his job. It is better to address them now. Suggest to your husband that he speak to his doctor to be certain he is not having additional side effects from the medication, and to ask how best to stay healthy, both mentally and physically.

Dear Paradise: Some ongoing medical treatment can have an effect on one’s overall health, including men— Send questions to tal health. Also, as your anniesmailbox@comcast.net, husband gets older, it or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box would not be unusual
