Road to the World University Games championship

Game 1 • U.S. 66, Turkey 57 Talk about an inauspicious start.

Team USA shot just 39 percent from the field and trailed by as many as 11 points before pulling away.

“It has to be a swish or it’s going to be a brick,” SMU guard Nic Moore said. “I didn’t even know when we first got out here if the rims were breakaway, because they look so hard.”

In a sign of things to come, Wayne Selden Jr. led the U.S. with 19 points and nine rebounds. Perry Ellis contributed 17, and Frank Mason III added 12.

Kansas University freshman Carlton Bragg played with a mask after suffering a broken nose in practice leading up to the Games debut.

Game 3 • U.S. 106, Chile 41

Game 2 • U.S. 81, Brazil 72 Just before the United States’ second pool-play game, team officials scrambled to tweak their jerseys to make the ‘USA’ more prominent.

Sporting the new threads, the U.S. struggled again early before running past Brazil.

Selden again led the way, with 23 points. Mason added 15.

“Wayne looks healthier to me,” KU coach Bill Self said. “He’s more bouncy. For a guy his size to play 39 minutes — that’s pretty strong — and then not be tired. His conditioning is off the charts. He’s obviously worked really hard this summer.”

KU senior Perry Ellis sat out most of the fourth quarter after he “tweaked” an ankle.

Game 4 • U.S. 66, Serbia 65

Self billed it beforehand as a “big-boy game,” and he wasn’t kidding.

Thinking it needed a lopsided win to help its cause in case of a tiebreaker, Team USA Neither team led by more than 7 points. There were 12 lead changes and 14 ties. showed no mercy against Chile.

Serbia had taken a 65-62 lead on a three-pointer with 43 seconds left, but Selden “Coach really emphasized, ‘Don’t ease up. Keep your foot on the pedal,’” said Ellis, swished a triple seven seconds later to tie it. who finished with 9 points and eight rebounds in 21 minutes. “We did that.”

“To be honest, I knew I was shooting it,” Selden said after finishing with a game-high Mason took game-high scoring honors, with 23, while Selden — off 6-for-7 shoot21 points on 9-of-18 shooting. “I wanted to try to find a good shot, and I knew time was ing, 3-for-3 from deep — added 18. running down, so I knew I wanted to shoot the ball.”

As it turns out, the victory margin didn’t matter.

Then Selden hit the second of two free throws with 12 seconds left to win it.

The victory clinched a quarterfinal berth for the U.S.

Game 5 • U.S. 96, Switzerland 57

Quarterfinals • U.S. 70, Lithuania 48

The final pool-play game essentially was meaningless for the United States: It already had clinched the top spot in Pool D. But the U.S. scrapped until the end and rolled over Switzerland.

“I thought we were tired to start, but the guys started having fun,” Self said. “It’s a lot easier to play when you make shots. … Today the guys were relaxed and it seemed like they made just about everything they threw up there.”

Julian DeBose had his best game by far in the Games with a team-high 18 points.

Selden added 16.

Locked in a close game through three quarters, the United States won its quarterfinal by dropping a 15-0, fourth-quarter run on Lithuania.

The U.S. shot just 21 percent in the third quarter and led by just a point, 43-42, with a minute left in the quarter.

“A couple of times, we didn’t have a great possession and we didn’t move the ball from side to side, which led to bad shots,” Mason added. “But then later on in the (half), we had great ball movement, which led to great offense, and that’s how we got the run.”

Mason led the United States with 18 points, and Selden had 13.

Semifinals U.S. 78, Russia 68 Russia led by as many as 7 points and used a 13-0 run for a 62-61 lead early in the fourth.

In that span, the United States missed seven shots and turned the ball over five times.

“I think we just gave up some good looks,” said Mason, who had 10 points, six rebounds, four assists, three steals and five turnovers in 38 minutes. “Guys didn’t fight through the screens, and they’ve got some good shooters on their team. They knocked the shots down, which led to a run. After that, we just got stops, and that helped us out.”

Selden again led the charge with a quick personal 5-0 lead, and the U.S. never trailed again.

“He’s been superior to everybody,” Self said of Selden.

“He played to his athletic ability. Shot selection was terrific.”

Selden had 22 points. Ellis led the U.S. with 23.

MEMBERS OF TEAM USA CELEBRATE WITH THEIR GOLD MEDALS after defeating Germany, 84-77, in the gold-medal game of the World University games on Monday in Gwangju, South Korea.

U.S. relishes Games gold

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Gwangju, South Korea — With the final seconds running off the clock in the United States’ men’s basketball team’s 84-77, double-overtime victory in the World University Games championship against Germany on Monday at Yeomju Gymnasium, Kansas University junior Wayne Selden Jr. flung the ball as high as he could, setting off a wild celebration.

The Jayhawks mobbed each other on the sideline opposite of their bench, falling into a dog pile. Once they were back on their feet, junior Frank Mason III waved a large American flag that wrapped around his body. The crowd, mostly South Koreans, started chanting “U-S-A.” “It was definitely a blessing to be in this position,” Kansas senior Perry Ellis said. “To come out here and play for the

KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD WAYNE SELDEN JR., CENTER, GETS A HAND UP off the court after a center-court dog pile.

USA, with my teammates, we had so much fun playing. It was just a great experience. Hard-fought game against Germany.

That was a great team we played. Just blessed to come out with the win.”

After the Jayhawks did a short dance at mid-court, they hopped off the court, slapping hands with fans on the railing behind their bench on their way to the locker room, prepping for the medal ceremony.

“Man, I’m real excited to be able to do this with a great group of guys,” said Southern Methodist University senior Nic Moore, one of the two non-Jayhawks on the roster. “Come over here and

just have a great game like that, double-overtime and get a victory. All of the emotions are going through me right now, you know what I mean?

It’s going to hit me later tonight.

“The support we had and just be able to put a gold around our neck.

Anybody would feel good doing that.”

It took about 10 minutes for the arena staff to prep the court with red carpets and a long medal podium. Then the teams walked out to the podium together before they were given their medals. The medals were presented by local college students, aspiring to be flight attendants, who had to carry the medals and stuffed mascots on trays.

At the World University Games, no national anthems are played for the gold medalists. Instead, the FISU (International University Sports Federation) anthem, “Gaudeamus Igitur,” is played,

promoting sportsmanship and unity for all countries.

After the Jayhawks had the gold medals placed around their necks and received their stuffed mascots, the national flags of the U.S., Germany and Russia — the gold, silver and bronze medalists — were raised with the FISU anthem playing. Most of the Jayhawks brought their phones out to the court to record videos. Coach Bill Self and other staff stood on the other side of the court, allowing just the players and team managers to stand on the podium during the ceremony.

Once the medal ceremony ended, the Jayhawks were swarmed by fans, arena volunteers and dancers who wanted to take pictures with the latest champions.

“It’s a huge thrill and huge honor,” Self said.

“Our team really bonded and came together.”

Jayhawks gained more than medals

T

hroughout each Kansas University men’s basketball season, our sports editor, Tom Keegan, does a thing after every game where he rates the players of the game in his Keegan Ratings.

This is not that.

It is, however, a ranking that illustrates which KU players the Jayhawks’ 8-0 run to the World University Games gold medal helped the most in South Korea.

So let’s get to it. As Keegan does in his ratings, we’ll go with scholarship players only and not worry about the guys who play at other schools.

1. Wayne Selden — By far KU’s best player throughout the tournament, Selden emerged as a go-to option and really showed well as a leader.

He looks more determined than ever, and his confidence should be sky-high come October when the Jayhawks get going for real.

2. Hunter Mickelson — Throughout most of the second half of last season, KU fans everywhere wondered why Mickelson did not get more of an opportunity to play. I don’t think anyone will have

Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

to worry about that anymore. The transfer from Arkansas played quality minutes and put up surprising numbers throughout the tournament, even working his way into a starting role.

That kind of lift to his confidence should only make him continue to work harder throughout the rest of the season.

3. Carlton Bragg — Bragg’s numbers were not exactly amazing, but the thing the long freshman gained that should benefit him the most is his ability to play through adversity. After breaking his nose before things even got going, Bragg played tough and looked unfazed by the injury throughout the tournament. That kind of toughness and sacrifice goes a long way with KU coach Bill Self, and you can bet Bragg will get plenty of positive feedback about it.

That should only make

FRANK MASON III RUNS BY FANS IN CELEBRATION of the World University Games title. him more comfortable when the season rolls around.

4. Frank Mason III — Mason played exactly the way KU fans would have expected him to play heading into the tournament, so I’m not sure the bulldog point guard gained a whole lot in terms of learning anything new about his game. Still, he was fantastic in leading the offense, set up more plays and buckets than he even got credit for and played a ton of minutes while running the show the whole time.

5. Landen Lucas — There were up and down moments for Lucas, who still lacks some of the skills necessary to be a force down low. But the man can rebound. And he did that pretty well in South Korea. With the addition of Bragg and Cheick Diallo and the emergence of Mickelson, Lucas might not get a ton of minutes this winter.

But it now seems like a safe bet to say that when he’s in there he can have a real impact on the glass.

6. Lagerald Vick — Vick’s a long shot to

play this season, but it won’t be because he doesn’t believe he can.

The young guard was out there during some pretty crucial moments throughout the tournament and he looked pretty salty at times, especially as a scorer.

A loaded roster ahead of him and his inexperience and limited defensive skills will likely keep him off the court this winter. But this experience will no doubt help his development and help him be in a better position to push the guys ahead of him in practices.

7. Perry Ellis — Ellis was good at times and average at others in South Korea but didn’t really stand out. The good news for KU was that he didn’t need to.

He can save that for the college season and what figures to be a big senior year. That said, he looked healthy, moved well, shot the ball with confidence and, like Mason, performed pretty much exactly the way people expected him. That’s by no means a knock, but I’m not sure the tournament helped him a whole lot.

8. Jamari Traylor — Traylor’s minutes were

down, and Lucas and Mickelson played much bigger roles. For a guy who already is quick to get down on himself, that probably didn’t help.

Still, Traylor’s a good teammate, and I noticed him genuinely fired up on the bench late in the gold-medal game when it became clear KU was going to win. That’s a good sign that even though he didn’t set the world on fire with his play, he stayed in it for his teammates.

9. Devonté Graham — Graham did not get to play because of injury, but just being there helped him a little bit.

He saw how his teammates competed in various settings. He was able to observe how Mason and SMU loaner Nic Moore handled things on the floor. And he no doubt did all he could as a vocal leader from the bench. Plus, can a player ever be around too much winning? Even though he didn’t play a minute, just feeling that feeling can be something that sticks with Graham, too.

Agree? Disagree?

Kobach urges Congress to ratify bypass of Obamacare

NASA/AP Photos

THIS IMAGE PROVIDED BY NASA shows Pluto on July 11 as seen from the New Horizons spacecraft. Today, after traveling 3 billion miles over 9.5 years, the spacecraft will come the nearest it will get to Pluto — within about 7,000 miles. The photo AT RIGHT shows Clyde Tombaugh in 1990 in New York. Tombaugh, a Kansas University alumnus, discovered Pluto 85 years ago. His ashes are on board the New Horizons spacecraft.

Jayhawk in the limelight

s exciting as the event is for the astronomy world, the unprecedented number and quality of photos planned to be taken of Pluto today probably won’t help it recapture its lost planet-hood.

But the historic fly-by by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft will still be a very big deal for demoted little Pluto — and a point of pride for Jayhawk Nation.

“It’s going to put it back in the limelight,” said Kansas University physics and astronomy professor Bruce Twarog. “Assuming everything goes well, it’ll put it in the front pages of planetary science for probably the next year.”

In 1930 KU alumnus Clyde Tombaugh discovered Pluto, which for decades was considered the ninth planet. However, Pluto was reclassified in 2006 from “classical” planet to “dwarf” planet (albeit the largest dwarf planet, Twarog noted).

Tombaugh, who earned astronomy degrees at KU in the 1930s, died in 1997, but he has literally been a part of the New Horizons mission: His ashes are in a container on the spacecraft that has been hurtling at more than 30,000 mph toward Pluto — about 3 billion miles from Earth — for the past nine and a half years.

People understandably get excited about the solar system’s biggest, brightest and most spectacular bodies.

“In reality, in the solar system, things like Pluto and objects smaller than Pluto are more common than things like Jupiter and Saturn,” he said. “So if they’re going to learn about the nature of the solar system, these are the things you want to study.”

Topeka — Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach is urging Congress to ratify a mechanism that he says would give states an avenue to exempt themselves from the Affordable Care Act.

authority to regulate health care within their borders and to administer federal health care funds that flow to those states.

In 2014, Kansas lawmakers passed a bill to join such a compact. But under a provision of the U.S. Constitution, it requires congressional approval before it can take effect.

“As a former professor of Constitutional Law who recognizes the unconstitutionality of the Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”), I feel that it is my personal duty to do everything possible to stop Obamacare in the wake of the Supreme Court’s two erroneous decisions sustaining it,” Kobach wrote in the letter.

“It is the only legal path that we have left to end Obamacare and to restore our Constitution, short of a future Act of Congress to repeal it,” he wrote.

The letter was addressed to the 94 Republican House and Senate members from the nine states whose legislatures have approved the compact. In addition to Kansas, they include Alabama, Georgia, Indi-

ana, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and Utah.

The idea of a health care compact began as model legislation from the American Legislative Exchange Council, or ALEC, a conservative group that is funded by large corporations to advocate for pro-business legislation in state governments.

It would entitle member states to receive all of the federal health care dollars that would otherwise be spent in those states to administer under their own health care programs. It would also give those states the primary authority to regulate health care in those borders, and it would empower them to suspend any federal laws or regulations on health care that are inconsistent with their own policies.

Kobach and the Kansas Chamber both supported passage of the bill when it was debated in Kansas last year.

But groups that advocate for the elderly opposed the bill, including the Kansas chapter of the American Association of Retired Persons, or AARP, Kansas Advocates for Better Care, a group that lobbies on behalf of nursing homes, and then-

The gold medal winners are expected to return home Wednesday and will be welcomed back inside Kansas’ Hoglund Ballpark.

Doors will open at Kansas’ baseball stadium, just south of Allen Fieldhouse, at 6 p.m. with the team expected to arrive at 7 p.m.

USA head coach Bill Self and selected members of the team will address the crowd. With extreme heat indexes expected, bottled water will be available for purchase and fans are allowed to bring one unopened bottle into the stadium.

Attendees are encouraged to park in lot 112 south of the baseball stadium, behind the Hoglund Ballpark scoreboard. Yellow lots 90, 125 and 127 are restricted Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., even during summer class sessions. Parking in Red, Blue, and Gold lots is restricted year-round from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Accessible stalls in Yellow lots prior to 4 p.m., and Red lots prior to 5 p.m., are also restricted based on KU-issued parking permits.

Team USA defeated Germany in the goldmedal game Monday morning via an 84-77 double-overtime victory.

The medal marked the USA’s first basketball award at the World University Games since a bronze in 2009. The USA has now won 14 gold medals in basketball in the World University Games, which began in 1965.

Police: 10-year-old ‘doing fine’ after father accidentally shot him

By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

A Lawrence boy accidentally shot by his father on Friday should be released from the hospital in the next day or two, Lawrence Police Department spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said Monday.

The 10-year-old boy was shot in the abdomen in the living room of his home in the 6200 block of West 22nd Court around 7:10 p.m. Friday, McKinley said. Police believe the incident happened

as the boy and his father were watching TV together and the father was disassembling and cleaning a handgun.

The father “inadvertently discharged the firearm after failing to verify a live round was not in the chamber of the weapon as he disassembled it,� McKinley said. The boy was sitting on the couch when the bullet struck him.

The boy was taken to Stormont-Vail hospital in Topeka with critical injuries after emergency responders arrived. McKinley said the child has

since undergone surgery and is “doing fine.�

The father was taken to the Lawrence police Investigations and Training Center, 4820 Bob Billings Parkway, where he was interviewed and later released, McKinley said.

Lawrence police detectives had their first interview with the boy in the hospital Monday, McKinley said. They’d previously been at the hospital, but hadn’t had the opportunity to speak to the child.

The father has been cooperative with law enforcement throughout the

investigation and is “very upset,� McKinley said.

Though he did not know what kind of charges — if any — might be warranted, McKinley said the investigation’s report will be made available to the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office once completed.

McKinley said the name of the man is not being released as he has not been arrested or charged in this incident. The child’s name is also being withheld.

Steering group gets public input on future plans for city, county

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

Agriculture, sustainability and climate change were among the topics discussed Monday night at two public sessions hosted by Lawrence and Douglas County’s Horizon 2020 Steering Committee.

The committee, which is made up of community, government and business representatives from throughout the county, asked for the public’s input on the city and county’s long-range and comprehensive plan.

Two drop-in sessions were held at City Hall on Monday evening for members of the public to learn about the steer-

ing committee’s past 18 months of work and to make suggestions for the future.

A finalized version of the committee’s comprehensive plan will not be finished until Aug. 10, said Lawrence City Planner Jeff Crick.

Among the community members who attended, longtime area resident Carol Gillmore thinks agriculture is something that should be heavily considered in the long run.

While there are many large farming operations in the area, often the smaller farmers don’t receive the attention they deserve, Gillmore said, especially considering farmers’ considerable

contribution to the local economy. “We need aggregation, storage and distribution of the products the farmers produce,� Gillmore said.

In addition, Gillmore urged committee members to consider water as a limited and precious resource for the future.

Dale Nimz, chair of Lawrence’s Sustainability Advisory Board, urged the committee to acknowledge that the next 20 years will likely be nothing like the past 20, 40 or 60 years.

Jayhawk salute Kansas plays tough and brings home the gold for the United States in the World University Games.

C

ongratulations are in order for the Kansas University men’s basketball team for delivering to the United States the gold medal that has eluded it for a decade in the World University Games.

The Jayhawks — plus Nic Moore of SMU and Julian DeBose of Central Florida — represented the United States at the games in Gwangju, South Korea. They practiced for two weeks, traveled across the globe, adjusted to a time zone 14 hours ahead of Kansas and played by international rules different from those used by the NCAA. The Jayhawks’ schedule?

Eight games in 10 days.

Yet, despite the challenges, the team found a way to go 8-0 — beating Turkey, Brazil, Chile, Serbia and Switzerland in pool play before downing Lithuania, Russia and Germany in the medal round in a span of 62 hours Friday through Monday.

The gold medal came after a thrilling 8477 win over Germany in double overtime.

The game ended about 9:30 a.m. Central time Monday, delaying the start of the workweek for most of Lawrence.

The gold medal is no small feat. USA Basketball had failed to earn any medal in three of the past four World University Games. USA finished ninth in 2013, fifth in 2011 and ninth in 2007. The team won bronze in 2009 when a group of college all stars coached by Wisconsin’s Bo Ryan lost to Russia in the semifinals before beating Israel to claim third.

The last time Team USA won gold was in 2005, when Villanova’s Jay Wright coached a group of all stars lead by Duke’s Shelden Williams to a win over Ukraine in the finals.

This year’s formula for the Games was to send an actual college team — Kansas — to the games. Moore and DeBose were added to fill out the roster after injuries to Jayhawks Brannen Greene and Devonte Graham. Otherwise, the team looked very similar to the one Kansas will field when the season tips off in a few months. Veterans Frank Mason, Wayne Selden and Perry Ellis looked in mid-season form in leading the Jayhawks in Korea, while Hunter Mickelson, who saw few minutes in his first season at Kansas, was a nice surprise the past two weeks. The games also gave Kansas fans their first look at highly touted freshmen Carlton Bragg and LeGerald Vick.

No doubt the gold medal will heighten expectations for the coming season. The extra practice and games theoretically provide the Jayhawks, who welcome back one of the most experienced rosters in college basketball, an advantage.

But before we start talking about the 2016 Final Four, it’s appropriate to take a few moments to recognize this unique Kansas team on the worthy achievement of winning gold in Korea. Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

There can be no sanctuary from law According to the Wall Street Journal, the last serious attempt to count the number of federal criminal laws appears to have been made in 1982 by a retired Justice Department official named Ronald Gainer. He failed, but the estimate then was “…50 titles and 23,000 pages of federal law.” Many more laws have been added since then.

One thing is certain: If you violate federal law you are likely to be punished with a fine, imprisonment or both. These laws are supposed to apply to everyone, unless, it seems, you are an illegal alien living in San Francisco, or any of the other sanctuary cities around the country.

By now, anyone not preoccupied with stories about shark attacks, the Confederate flag or singer Ariana Grande “maliciously licking” donuts she did not buy, has heard about 32-year-old Kathryn Steinle gunned down by an illegal alien while walking on a San Francisco pier with her father.

Her accused killer is Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, a felon from Mexico, who had been deported five times but always managed to sneak back in, choosing San Francisco, he re-

“

tcaeditors@tribune.com

Officials in ‘sanctuary cities’ pervert the concept of sanctuary by helping suspects evade the law.” portedly said, because he knew it was a “sanctuary city“ that would not deport him.

The concept of a sanctuary city comes from the Old Testament. “…if someone deliberately kills another person, then the slayer must be dragged even from my altar and be put to death. (Exodus 21:14).

But if it was simply an accident permitted by God, I will appoint a place of refuge where the slayer can run for safety. (Exodus 21:13).

These cities will be places of protection from a dead person’s relatives who want to avenge the death. The slayer must not be put to death before being tried by

the community. (Numbers 35:19) “Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the blood avenger. ... The congregation shall deliver the manslayer from the hand of the blood avenger, and the congregation shall restore him to his city of refuge to which he fled; and he shall live in it until the death of the high priest who was anointed with the holy oil…” (Numbers 35:2428).

This ancient concept for a sanctuary city was not to shield a suspect from justice, but to guarantee justice was done. The suspected murderer would be given safe haven only until a trial was held. If he was found guilty, he was executed. If he was acquitted he was set free. But if he left the sanctuary city before the trial, “the avenger of blood” could kill him.

Officials in “sanctuary cities” pervert the concept of sanctuary by helping suspects evade the law. Congress should deny federal funds to these cities as long as they continue to ignore the law. President Obama is unlikely to speak, much less lead on this issue, because the Democratic Party thinks it can win the Hispanic vote in 2016. Republicans and the Chamber of Commerce

want cheap immigrant labor, so they will huff and puff but do nothing, hoping the controversy goes away.

The public must not let this happen.

According to the Washington Post, there are an estimated 60 sanctuary cities around the country, including major cities like New York, Los Angeles and Houston, and these cities are unlikely to change their sanctuary policies anytime soon.

In fact, writes International Business Times, “…a number of local leaders in U.S. cities have renewed their efforts to foster welcoming and inclusive communities for illegal aliens.

So-called ‘sanctuary policies’ … are intended to signal to the undocumented community that it’s safe to come out of the shadows without the fear of being reported to federal authorities.”

If laws are not enforced, what is the point of having them?

If politicians are so afraid of losing the Hispanic vote that they do nothing in response to the murder of Kathryn Steinle, they should be removed from office. The notion that Hispanics won’t vote for a party that stands for justice is racist.

Flagging debate

To the editor: Richard Aronoff manages to pack an astonishing amount of self-serving enthnocentric confusion into a short letter (July 11).

1. He thinks the Confederate flag is “coming down.” Mostly wrong. It is coming down over government property. It remains very much up and constitutionally protected on private property. Most property in the U.S. is private.

2. He thinks the Confederate flag is coming down because “a segment of the population considers it offensive.”

Wrong. In America you have a constitutional right to be offensive. It is coming down because it is a racist symbol used by murderers.

3. He thinks the gay pride flag is comparable to the Confederate flag.

Wrong. The gay pride flag stands for tolerance. The Confederate flag stands for intolerance.

4. He implies that flying the gay pride flag over government property would violate accepted majority American values. Wrong. We stand for gay marriage and other forms of inclusion. We do not stand for racism.

5. He thinks Nelson Mandela would support flying the Confederate flag over government property. Wrong.

When Mandela took power, the old 1928 South African flag of apartheid was taken down, and thereafter a new 1994 flag flew over government property.

6. He thinks the spirit of reconciliation shown towards whites by Mandela’s endorsement of the Springbok rugby team supports flying the Confederate flag. Wrong. Mandela supported Springbok as a powerful symbol and fact of integration. The Confederate flag is a powerful symbol

Source National Wildlife Federation TERRY BYRNE AND PAUL TRAP, USA TODAY

The deal agreed to Monday between Greece and its creditors was hard fought, and even if Athens did not come out on top, the lengthy negotiations call to mind another Greek battle: the Battle of Marathon, a famous Greek victory against Persian invaders in 490 B.C. that later inspired the marathon run.

After hours of intense negotiations, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras accepted terms for a third bailout that were far more onerous than those in the second bailout program, which expired June 30 after Greece rejected further austerity.

What lies ahead is more uncertainty and turmoil as Tsipras must now push a number of these new policies, including tax hikes and pension changes, through a parliament in which he maintains a fragile majority.

The harshness of the terms and the intransigence of core eurozone creditors, led by Germany, astonished many economists and observers worldwide.

The Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman called it “vindictive folly” and suggested it might be a fatal blow against European integration.

Although many thought Tsipras had a secret agenda to lead Greece out of the euro, he remained faithful to his pledge — and the will of the majority of Greek voters — to stay with the joint currency.

In fact, it seemed that that particular objective was German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s and Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble’s. Former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis attributed it to Schäuble as a way of enforcing discipline among other euro members.

In the end, it was Tsipras who reneged on the other half of the pledge that got him elected: that Greece would not accept a bailout “at any cost.”

Faced with the chaos of a collapsing economy and failing banks, which forced Greeks to scramble for food and risk running out of essential medicine, Tsipras ended up accepting austerity terms Greek voters had decisively rejected in a referendum last week.

It was Merkel who remained WASHINGTON

MIRAMAX AND ROADSIDE ATTRACTIONS

Walker rates as contender where the Donald doesn’t Amid stuffed roster of Republican candidates, the blustery billionaire is better known to Americans than Wisconsin’s governor, but many have already made up their minds, for good or bad, about Trump. Walker still has potential to shape people’s views of him.

Susan Page l USA TODAY

Who’s a contender?

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker on Monday became the 15th prominent Republican to declare his candidacy for the 2016 presidential nomination, a field so crowded it takes a scorecard to keep up with all the names.

Though almost half of Americans say they’ve never heard of Walker or don’t know enough to have a view of him, other factors have vaulted the governor into the top tier of candidates from the start.

“We just have a government in Washington that can’t seem to get the job done,” he said to applause in Waukesha, Wis., where he announced his campaign. “The good news is that there is still time left to turn things around. To do this, we need new, fresh leadership.

Leadership with big, bold ideas from outside of Washington.”

The question of which candidates warrant being taken seriously as prospective nominees is one confronting strategists, journalists and debate sponsors. Fox News, which will host the first GOP debate in three weeks, announced it will limit participation to those who rank among the top 10 in national polls.

Walker is a case study in why some of the candidates are able to hire the most respected strategists, draw support from the biggest donors and attract the most extensive news coverage when others can’t.

Obama clemency grant largest since ’60s David Jackson and Gregory Korte USA TODAY

WASHINGTON President Obama granted clemency Monday to 46 men and women who have spent years and faced decades in prison for non-violent, drug offenses.

“Their punishments didn’t fit the crime, and if they had been sentenced under today’s laws, almost all of them would have served their time,” Obama said in an announcement video posted on the White House website.

The 46 commutations — the most granted by a president in a single day since at least the Lyndon Johnson administration of the 1960s — all involved drug crimes, mostly cocaine traffick-

ing. The prisoners, including Katrina Smith, mother of Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas, will be freed by Nov. 10.

Obama said the people whose sentences he commuted were not “hardened criminals,” but “the overwhelming majority had been sentenced to at least 20 years,” while 14 of them received life sentences for non-violent drug offenses. “I believe ... America is a nation of second chances,” Obama said. “And I believe these folks deserve a second chance.”

The president also called on Republicans and Democrats in Congress to change inequities in federal sentencing laws, kicking off a week of presidential events devoted to the criminal justice system. The schedule includes a speech Tuesday to the NAACP

national convention and a firstever presidential visit to a federal prison Thursday in Oklahoma.

Noting that Republicans have expressed interest in criminal justice reform, Obama said the nation is spending too much on incarceration of individuals who received long sentences for relatively minor crimes. The latest batch of commutations brings Obama’s overall number of commutations to 89 people during his presidency. He has granted full pardons to another 64 people.

Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, RWis., chided Obama for engaging in “publicity stunts” rather than working directly with Congress.

“Commuting the sentences of a few drug offenders is a move designed to spur headlines, not meaningful reform,” he said.

Intense U.S. airstrikes support Iraqi offensive in Ramadi Sunni city fell to Islamic State in May Jim Michaels USA TODAY

The U.S.-led coalition launched an intense wave of airstrikes to support a major Iraqi offensive to retake Ramadi, a key Sunni city under Islamic State control, the coalition said Monday.

It is the second time Iraq’s government has announced an offensive to retake the city, which fell to the militants in May, dealing a WASHINGTON

major setback to the U.S.-backed Iraqi government. The offensive has been in the works for weeks.

The coalition said it launched 29 airstrikes in the vicinity of Ramadi on Sunday, targeting militant staging areas and vehicles, according to U.S. Central Command.

The airstrikes marked a new level of intensity in the air campaign, which started almost a year ago, and suggested improvements in coordinating strikes with Iraqi ground forces. U.S. personnel are barred from directing airstrikes from battle zones.

“These were priority targets for (Iraqi) ground forces and

who have taken over large areas of Iraq over the past year.

South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican presidential candidate, suggested a force of 10,000 U.S. troops is needed to speed the training of Iraqi troops.

The Obama administration authorized a U.S. force of about 3,500 for Iraq and has taken pains to keep them out of ground combat.

Even with an increase in coalition help, the offensive in Ramadi, capital of the largely Sunni Anbar province, will be a major test of Iraq’s armed forces, which have been routed in battles against the Islamic State.

Greeks worry about the fine print

ERIC J. LYMAN FOR USA TODAY

“I’ll be unemployed again if the economy takes another hit,” says Christos Vlassis, who sells fish in an Athens market.

The chance of economy shrinking further prompts fear Eric J. Lyman

Special for USA TODAY

News bulletins Monday that Greece reached a deal on a bailout package with its eurozone creditors prompted outbursts of joy and celebrations. But the euphoria was short-lived when Greeks read the fine print.

The onerous demands for deep budget cuts, hefty tax hikes and even putting virtually the entire country up for sale made many wonder whether the price they will have to pay — and the additional pain they must endure — is worth it.

“If the goal is for Greece to stay in the eurozone, then this is a good deal,” said Giorgios Argitis, an economist with the Levy Institute, a think tank. “But for those who want their well-being improved or for the economy to grow or to have access to more ATHENS

opportunities, then there is absolutely no reason to be happy.”

Argitis predicted that if the terms are implemented, Greece’s economy would shrink another 10% over the next three years, after already contracting by 25% since 2008. That notion strikes fear into the hearts of many Greeks.

“A year ago I was unemployed and forced to look for food in garbage cans,” said Christos Vlassis, 40, who sells fish in Athens’ Varvakios Market. “Now I got this job from a friend and I can take home about 30 euros ($33) a day, and I can get by on that. But I worry I’ll be unemployed again if the economy takes another hit.”

Angela Nicoli, 35, a coffee bar worker, said she does not understand the motives of Greece’s creditors. “Nobody says Greece is without blame, but if they want to cripple our economy and humiliate us, it will only make it harder

for us to repay what we owe,” she said. “If they help us to get on our feet again, isn’t it best for everyone?”

Many Greeks said they were in the impossible position of wanting to stay in the eurozone while also wanting to reject what they see as an unnecessarily harsh deal. That is almost surely unworkable: Creditors said if Greece fails to implement the terms, it would no longer be allowed to use the euro currency.

“If it were up to me I would reject it, but Tsipras has no choice.

He has to push for the deal he signed,” retired navy engineer Stratos Athanasiou, 68, said about Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras. “The EU says Greece has broken its trust. OK, but now they force Tsipras to push for something he knows is bad for his country.”

There is still a possibility the deal could be rejected by Greece’s

parliament. To cobble together enough support by Wednesday, the once-popular Tsipras may need to reach out to smaller parties outside his current ruling coalition. Doing that could likely lead to a reshuffling of Tsipras’ Cabinet, which could lessen his influence or perhaps force him to step down.

The deal is far more severe than the one Greek voters overwhelmingly rejected in a referendum just eight days ago, and at least 32 members of Tspiras’ Syriza Party already indicated they would not back him.

“There’s no doubt Tsipras has been wounded by the events of the last 10 days,” said Michalis Spourdalakis, dean of the School of Economics and Politics at the University of Athens. “It’s impossible to predict what will happen next. There are many possible options, and none of them are good.”

firm in her declared objective to keep Greece in the euro but not “at any cost.”

So is Merkel the winner and Tsipras the loser?

It depends on what time frame you look at. In the very short term, Merkel has clearly won this battle. But in the longer term — can we now call it a war? — this “victory” could produce a political backlash throughout Europe, with fateful consequences for the

future of “ever-closer union” in the eurozone and European Union, a 28-nation political bloc.

Germany has made it clear that Europe will operate strictly on terms set in Berlin and Frankfurt.

Voters in France, Spain, Italy and other eurozone countries have to decide if that’s the future they want for their countries.

Even many voters in Germany have grown uncomfortable with Merkel’s display of naked power after she submitted another freely elected European leader to

what one eurozone official at Sunday night’s negotiations termed, according to The Guardian, “extensive mental waterboarding.”

Tsipras, who had said that eurozone leaders were bluffing about further austerity measures, faces a monumental challenge in getting the new measures approved by the Greek parliament this week and may have to cede or share power through new elections or a government of national unity involving all major parties.

Many Greeks are now asking whether the six months of the Tsipras government defying the creditors were worth it.

But no one questions the value of the valiant defense put up by Sparta’s King Leonidas and his small band of warriors against a vastly larger Persian army at Thermopylae in 480 B.C. All the Greek warriors were killed and the lost battle enabled the Persians to take Athens. But the courageous effort rallied all the Greek states and ultimately

make the cutoff for the debate next month, for instance, the conventional wisdom says there’s virtually no chance he’ll be on stage for the final debates next year, when the Republican nominee faces the Democratic one.

Trump and Walker are at opposite ends of the spectrum on a crucial measure: room to grow.

Among Republican primary voters, 21% told an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll last month that they didn’t recognize Walker’s name. How many didn’t recognize Trump’s name? 0%.

Walker was considerably less well-known than other major contenders, including former Florida governor Jeb Bush (unknown by 2%) and even another relative newcomer, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (8%).

Walker’s obscurity is both a big asset and his chief vulnerability.

For Trump, his skill at commanding attention by expounding extreme views may be a prime asset, but it’s contributed to his status as someone who can affect the nomination debate but not win it. Voters already have made up their minds about Trump, and two-thirds of Republicans say they can’t see themselves supporting him for president. There’s a ceiling on his standing, even as the GOP field eventually gets smaller.

CHERYL EVANS, THE ARIZONA REPUBLIC

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks during a rally at the Phoenix Convention Center on July 11.

For Walker, only one in five say they couldn’t see themselves supporting him. Among Americans generally, national polls show four or five in 10 don’t know enough about the Wisconsin governor to have an opinion.

Those are voters he has the potential to win over.

J. Ann Selzer, who conducts surveys for The Des Moines Register and Bloomberg News, unveiled a more complicated calculation last month to assess the standing of the candidates. It weighs whether voters choose a candidate as a first choice or a second choice and whether they could see themselves supporting him or her or not.

By that measure, Bush ranked first nationwide, Rubio second and Walker third. Trump didn’t make the top 10.

Walker, 47, is taken seriously for reasons historic and geographic.

The historic: In 2012, he became the first governor in U.S. history to survive a recall election. His victory over labor opponents and re-election two years later has made him a hero to conservative activists and given him a national fundraising base.

Last week, his team posted a video titled “Recall the Recall,” in case anybody had forgotten about it. He announced his candidacy at the Waukesha County Expo Cen-

ter, the venue where he had celebrated his recall victory.

Then there’s the geographic.

Wisconsin borders Iowa, which will hold the opening caucuses early next year, and he spent part of his childhood in tiny Plainfield, Iowa, where his father was pastor at the First Baptist Church. He led the field in Iowa in the most recent Register poll, at 17%.

“The reason he’s considered in the top tier nationally, even though he falls behind a fistful of other candidates, is because he’s running so strongly in Iowa for the moment,” Selzer says of Walker. “The most important thing a candidate can do is win something, and the first thing they can win is Iowa.”

That said, Walker’s risk is that a misstep could make his first impression a negative one. He has seemed uncertain addressing foreign policy questions. He was mocked for suggesting that dealing with union protesters in Madison had prepared him to face down Islamic State terrorists.

His efforts to appeal to Iowa’s social conservatives, which have included hardening his stance on immigration and same-sex marriage, have raised questions about his consistency and could complicate his efforts to reach more moderate voters.

One more thing: His opponents will try to define him before he has a chance to do so.

the Persians withdrew without ever conquering Greece.

Tsipras, to maintain the dignity of Greece’s citizens, took a stand against a narrow, neo-liberal view of how economies work.

Even in defeat, he has sent a resounding message that Europeans throughout the continent have heard.

Flyby could unmask strange, elusive Pluto Traci Watson

Special for USA TODAY

T

Complications also calculated into new system’s final score

he New Horizons spacecraft, speeding through the solar system at about 30,000 mph, carries an array of highly sensitive instruments and sophisticated electronics. It also carries a more archaic cargo: an American postage stamp.

The 1991 stamp reads, “Pluto: Not Yet Explored.”

Now New Horizons is about to render that proclamation obsolete. Early Tuesday morning, the ship is expected to become the first to fly close to Pluto, breezing past at a distance of only 7,750 miles — qualifying as kissing distance to a planet that will then lie 3 billion miles from Earth.

Never before has a spaceship visited Pluto, which is the last member of the classical nine planets to receive an ambassador from Earth. So distant that scientists still don’t know exactly how big it is — even the Hubble Space Telescope has taken only blurry photos of it. The hope is Pluto will be revealed in all its glorious weirdness.

Never before has a spaceship visited Pluto, which is the last member of the classical nine planets to receive an ambassador from Earth. ... The hope is Pluto will be revealed in all its glorious weirdness.

“It’s sort of like we’re on the Starship Enterprise coming into a new solar system,” says Paul Schenk, a member of the New Horizons scientific team and a planetary scientist at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston. “It looks so strange, we really can’t make any sense of it.”

Even the slightly fuzzy snapshots that New Horizons has clicked off on its way to Pluto have astounded and baffled scientists. There’s the line of dark polka dots on Pluto’s horizon and the bright “heart” nearby. Then there’s the dark stretch at the north pole of Charon, Pluto’s largest moon.

“We’re stumped,” Schenk says.

Scientists working on the $720 million mission brush aside Pluto’s official demotion, in 2006, from full-fledged planet to humbler “dwarf planet.” Regardless of rigid nomenclature, Pluto merits attention as a solar-system citizen completely different from both the rocky-planets club that includes Earth and Mars and the so-called gas giants, a grouping that includes Jupiter and Uranus.

Negotiators in Vienna worked past the latest deadline set for Monday to hammer out final details of a nuclear agreement with Iran, but differences remain.

“The talks continue in Vienna,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said. Earnest said negotiators will remain in Vienna for as long as the talks are useful.

President Obama’s spokesman said there has been progress, but “nothing is agreed to until everything is agreed to.”

State Department spokesman John Kirby said negotiators continue to make progress, but any agreement will have to be approved in advance in the capitals of countries negotiating the deal.

The talks are with Iran, the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council — the United States, Russia, Britain, France and China — plus Germany. Asked when an announcement could be made, Kirby answered, “Stay tuned.”

The agreement aims to curb Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for lifting crippling economic sanctions against Tehran.

Surgeons around the country are now scored against their peers in a new statistic developed by a non-profit news organization, providing a never-beforeavailable tool for consumers and generating debate and some angst in the surgical community.

“Pluto is a whole new kind of planet,” says New Horizons scientist Mike Summers of George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. “This is something that we’re just not familiar with, and yet this kind of planet may dominate … the solar system,” at least in sheer numbers, he says.

Pluto is the largest known occupant of a distant zone known as the Kuiper Belt, the dark, cold land of exile for tens of thousands of icy worlds — time capsules from the birth of the true planets more than 4 billion years ago.

“No matter how much we plan, we are going to see things that are unexplained and that blow our minds,” Summers says. “To see this after so much effort going into the mission is just awesome.”

Researchers are drawn by Pluto’s billowing atmosphere, which evaporates into space in a process akin to the escape of some of the Earth’s early atmosphere.

Want to keep up with Tuesday’s New Horizons space voyage by Pluto? There’s an app for that.

The best of the breed is the New Horizons app from Johns Hopkins University, (free, Apple, Android). The app is a one-stop shop to read up on the Pluto mission, with real and artist-rendered images and videos from the NASA newsroom.

For the first time, we’ll get to see real photographs that show what the dwarf planet Pluto indeed looks like. In the past, we’ve been eyeing artist renderings.

The New Horizons app has much of the information contained on the official NASA New Horizons website, but the app is more compact and easier to navigate.

Live video isn’t available because of the distance involved, but it does offer a simulated view of what we’re seeing, with a preview of what the flyby will look like.

There’s also a NASA desktop app set up, Eyes on Pluto, for Windows and Mac computers: http://eyes.jpl.nasa.gov/eyes-on-pluto.html.

The app has “simulated data from the New Horizons flight team you can ride on-board the spacecraft.”

An analysis by ProPublica aims to determine a statistic focused on complication rates for individual surgeons.

“What if every surgeon only operated on the good candidates? ... We will never get surgeons with superior skills.”

you hit the pitch, how could you know if you’re getting better?”

The complications counted include problems like infections, clots or sepsis that call for postoperative care. But the model factors various risks a surgeon encounters, adjusting the complication rates based on patients’ ages and other variables.

The cost of readmissions after surgical complications is staggering: $645 million billed to taxpayers for about 66,000 Medicare patients from 2009 to 2013.

ProPublica also found substantial variation within hospitals.

Half of the 3,575 hospitals had a surgeon performing a procedure at which they are high risk. So why do doctors working with the same staff and equipment have varying scores?

The analysis and past research point to doctor skill, strict adherence to best practices, volume of surgeries and patient follow-up.

Monday’s distribution of ProPublica’s model opened to uneasy reviews, with some physicians skeptical it could capture the array of risks in the patient population.

Jen Gunter, an obstetrician/gynecologist in San Francisco, wrote on her blog that the model could lead to doctors choosing lower-risk patients to boost scores.

“What if every surgeon only operated on the good candidates?” Gunter wrote. “People at higher risk for complications will suffer and we will never get surgeons with superior skills.”

WASHINGTON Federal prosecutors unsealed charges Monday against the 23-year-old son of a Boston police captain, who was arrested July 4 in connection with alleged Islamic Stateinspired plots to detonate improvised explosives at large gatherings, including college cafeterias.

Alexander Ciccolo, who authorities said has a long history of mental illness, had allegedly purchased a pressure cooker as part of a plan to assemble a device similar to the two explosives detonated at the 2013 Boston Marathon.

Investigators said that during a search of his apartment in Adams, Mass., they recovered several partially constructed Molotov cocktails. The devices appeared to contain a mixture of shredded Styrofoam soaked in motor oil, designed to stick to human skin.

Ciccolo, also known as Ali Al Amriki, was arrested after obtaining four firearms, including two rifles. As a convicted felon, he was prohibited from possessing firearms. The weapons were obtained from a cooperating witness in the FBI’s probe.

A detention hearing was scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Tuesday in Springfield, Mass.

A remnant of a pressure cooker used as a bomb near the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon.

According to court records, Ciccolo is an avowed supporter of ISIL, an acronym for the Islamic State, and discussed plans to detonate pressure cookers filled with black powder, nails, ball bearings and glass in “places where large numbers of people congregate, such as college cafeterias.”

Before his arrest, investigators allegedly observed Ciccolo buy a pressure cooker.

It wasn’t immediately clear when or if the suspect had settled on a specific target or date of attack.

Ciccolo’s arrest on the July Fourth holiday came as law enforcement authorities had been placed on high alert for possible attacks inspired by ISIL. Last week, FBI Director James Comey said the FBI had thwarted suspected deadly attacks timed for the holiday but declined to elaborate on the nature of the plots or identify those arrested.

Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

Investors woke up Monday to word of Greece agreeing to a bailout deal with creditors, news that sent stocks sharply higher on Wall Street, which had feared a Greek exit from the euro.

The Dow Jones industrial average ended up 217 points, or 1.2%, as the blue-chip index moved back into positive territory for the year. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index gained 1.1%, and the Nasdaq composite added 1.5%.

Monday marked the Dow’s first back-to-back gains of 200 points or more since Jan. 7-8. It was also the blue chips’ biggest point climb since June 10, when the index gained 236, a 1.3% jump.

After marathon negotiations, Greece and eurozone creditors shook hands on a tentative agreement Monday that would unlock about $95 billion in new aid to the debt-strapped nation in exchange for a spate of new tough concessions by the Athens government, which included changes to a costly pension system and higher taxes.

What the deal does is take off the table some of the worst-case scenarios that had rattled markets, such as the immediate exit of Greece from the 19-nation eurozone and the complete collapse of the Greek banking system.

While there are still uncertainties surrounding the Greek parlia-

ment vote Wednesday, for the moment the financial world is breathing a sigh of relief. European markets also rallied as Germany’s DAX index rose 1.5% and France’s CAC 40 jumped 1.9%.

“We maintain that the most likely outcome is that another bailout will be agreed, but the risk of no deal … remains significant,” Citigroup says.

The Greek parliament must pass these actions by July 15.

Some national parliaments will also need to ratify the proposal.

The next big steps for Greece start Tuesday. The European Central Bank is set to meet on whether to increase the amount of emergency funds to Greek banks, closed again.

GM’S RECALL DEATH TOLL DECLARED FINAL AT 124 With no cases left to process, the death toll from General Motor’s faulty ignition switches has come in at 124, according to compensation fund the victims. The end of the processing of claims marks another milestone in the case that led to millions of vehicle recalls, congressional hearings and a huge black eye for the nation’s largest automaker and its CEO, Mary Barra. The cases involved ignition switches that could move from the “run” position to the “accessory” position as people drive. If that happens, the power brakes and steering no longer work, leading to crashes.

TIME WARNER CABLE (TWC) Average miss in the past four quarters:

@mattkrantz USA TODAY

E

arnings season — the quarterly checkup on how companies are doing — hits its stride this week.

And this is one time a company doesn’t want to disappoint.

But four high-profile companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 — Google, TripAdvisor, Time Warner Cable and McDonald’s — have been routinely disappointing investors with their quarterly profits, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Capital IQ. Each of these companies has missed adjusted earnings expectations for at least the past four consecutive quarters.

Investors likely will be less forgiving this time around because expectations for secondquarter earnings are already low.

Analysts are calling for adjusted profit to fall more than 4% during the second quarter, which would be the worst showing for profit growth in the S&P 500 since 2009, S&P Capital IQ says.

There are a handful of S&P 500 companies that have consistently been failing to live up to analysts’ expectations. The highest-profile example is Google,

which is expected to report its results Thursday. Analysts expect the company to report 10% adjusted profit of $6.69 a share.

But expectations have proved too high each of the past five quarters. For instance, profit fell 0.6% short in the March quarter and 3.5% in the December quarter, S&P Capital IQ says. Google has missed quarterly expectations by an average of 2% over the past reporting periods.

McDonald’s, too, hasn’t been giving investors much to love during earnings season. The company — which is currently attempting a turnaround — has missed adjusted quarter earnings estimates by an average of 3.3% over the past four quarters.

The company’s adjusted profit has come in short five out of the past five quarters. Investors undoubtedly hope the company ends the curse when it reports quarterly results July 23. Analysts are calling for McDonald’s to earn $1.24 a share, down 11% from the same period a year ago.

Just because these companies have made it a habit to miss earnings forecasts recently doesn’t mean they will again.

Perhaps analysts have learned by now to scale back their expectations — making it easier for the companies to beat.

But — going into earnings season — these companies don’t inspire much confidence.

Big banks’ earnings likely to disappoint Sagging net interest margins may hurt Q2 Kaja Whitehouse @kajawhitehouse USA TODAY

Merger-mania may be the only thing that saves Wall Street’s top banks from a sour earnings season.

The nation’s largest banks will post second-quarter earnings this week, starting with JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo on Tuesday. And the expectation is for continued pain due to sagging net interest margins, or the NEW YORK

Citigroup reports Thursday before the opening bell.

spread between what a bank pays to borrow money and what it can charge on loans.

“It will be a difficult quarter,” said Erik Oja, banking analyst with S&P Capital IQ. Indeed, Wall Street analysts are predicting lower earnings for the three months ended in June compared to last year’s second quarter for several of the big banks, including JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs, according to FactSet, a financial data tracker.

Analysts also expect depressed

revenue overall compared to last year’s second quarter, FactSet data show.

Last quarter, the banks proved they could offset the pain of historically low interest rates with strong growth in fees earned from mergers and other advisory work — as well as stellar trading profits at places like JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs.

Strong deal activity over the past three months suggests there could be room for another upside surprise, according to data from Dealogic, which tracks mergers and acquisitions.

Globally, $1.4 trillion in deals were announced in the second quarter, up from $918 billion in the first quarter and $1 trillion this time last year, data from Dealogic show. In the U.S., the trend was similar with $660 billion worth of deals announced last quarter, up from $447 billion in the same period last year.

Wall Street often looks to investment bank Jefferies as a predictor of how the largest banks might fare in areas like investment banking and trading.

This quarter, however, Jefferies’ strong stock trading results, up 29%, may not be the best indicator because the firm missed the volatility that whacked stocks in June amid concerns about Greece breaking away from the European Union, experts said.

The return to choppy markets in June “isn’t good news for the trading desks,” noted KBW analyst Brian Kleinhanzl.

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

The U.S. corporate earnings story could start to steal headlines from the Greek debt crisis multiact drama. What looks like close to a sealed deal between Greece and its creditors could help divert investors’ focus back to business fundamentals.

Wall Street’s focus on macro issues like the Greek bailout negotiations and mainland China’s stock market hitting bear-market territory could give way to more micro matters, such as what type of earnings reports do banking giants JPMorgan Chase or Wells Fargo deliver when they report second-quarter results Tuesday.

Wall Street has been focused almost exclusively on foreign events in recent weeks, but that is

likely to change as the quarterly profit-reporting season kicks in.

This week, 38 companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index and six Dow Jones industrial average components will report, according to Thomson Reuters.

The profit growth outlook isn’t super robust, however. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters now forecast an earnings contraction of 2.9% vs. the same quarter a year ago. And while fear of a socalled profit recession will make headlines again, the same script occurred at the start of the first quarter of the year, but profits ended up growing 2.2% in the first three months of 2015.

The big drivers will be financial companies, which are expected to grow profits at a nearly 15% clip, driven by diversified banks, which are forecast to grow earnings 41%, Thomson Reuters says. The big laggard: the energy sector.

Energy gets blame for lower profit predictions Q: If earnings fall, will stocks fall, too?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Corporate profits are supposed to fall 4% in the second quarter. That sounds bad. But it’s not a reason to dump your stocks.

Earnings season gets going big time this week, and analysts aren’t expecting much. Adjusted profit from companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 is seen declining 4.5%, S&P Capital IQ says. That would be the first time profits contracted since the third quarter of 2009.

If stock prices are tied to earnings growth, and earnings growth is expected to fall, why would you want to hold onto stocks?

There are several reasons. Remember, these are just estimates that can prove to be wrong once companies have actually reported. That’s just what happened in the first quarter. Analysts were calling for profit to fall in the first quarter, too, but companies put up 3.2% growth. During the first quarter, two-thirds of companies beat expectations.

It’s also important to understand why profits are expected to fall. There’s one big reason: Energy. Energy companies are expected to post 61% lower profit during the quarter. It’s just that the profit implosion in the oil patch is so large it dwarfs the growth occurring at the majority of companies. Seven of the 10 sectors are expected to post profit gains.

Apple sell-off predictor remains cautious after rebound Matt Krantz USA TODAY

Apple shares Monday bounced from recent lows for the second trading day – but one analyst who called the sell-off still isn’t buying.

Shares of Apple jumped Monday $2.42, or 2%, to $125.70. The stock has staged a nearly 5% solid rally from the low of $120.07 notched Thursday.

Bulls are celebrating the stock’s powerful rally after last week, breaking below a 9.5% volatility range and falling into a 10%

BRYAN VAN DER BEEK, BLOOMBERG

Analysts’ predictions for Apple stock are weighed heavily on the sales of the company’s watch.

correction. News Apple is commanding a lion’s share of the profit in the smartphone industry is pushing the stock up.

But UBS’ Abhey Lamba, who remains one of the analysts more sober toward Apple’s stock, warned investors in a note Monday that “decelerating iPhone sales could weigh on stock performance.” Lamba is worth listening to after a bold forecast months ago that the stock was worth $125 a share – while other Apple analysts have been bullish and holding out an average price target of $149.02, S&P Capital IQ says.

Lamba – like most analysts – expects strong results in the second calendar quarter, to be reported July 21, and is calling for 47 million iPhone sales and 4 million to 5 million watch sales.

Revenue will likely beat the $49 billion revenue estimate for the quarter by $1 billion, Lamba says, and earnings beat the $1.78 estimate by at least 1%.

But the second quarter isn’t what matters to the stock, Lamba says. The third calendar quarter is where the reality sets in, Lamba says. “We are expecting sequentially flat performance for iPhone and Watch shipments,”

Lamba says. “Watch demand remains lackluster.”

Lamba is one of the few voices of caution on the stock. Most other analysts are emphatically bullish on the stock – especially after the correction in the shares.

Andy Perkins of Societe Generale boosted his rating from hold to buy Monday – and has a $140 a share price target. Perkins says strong sales of the iPhone during the second calendar quarter bode well for the third quarter, too. Perkins says that the watch isn’t doing as badly as many investors expect.

Guess we’ll find out next week.

No offense, Hercule Poirot, but there’s no other sleuth in literary history who has so mesmerized and perplexed readers and viewers as Sherlock Holmes.

More than 75 actors have played Holmes, making him the most-portrayed human literary creation in films and television (surpassed only by the nonhuman Dracula), according to Guinness World Records.

The brainchild of Scottish author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Holmes is cold and abrasive, analytical and logical, a master of disguise and deductive reasoning, and a lover of pipes and forensics.

And he’s played, in his latest incarnation, by Sir Ian McKellen as an aging Mr. Holmes (opens Friday on 300 screens).

Basil Rathbone portrayed the detective in more than two dozen films released between 1939 and 1946. Robert Downey Jr. played him as a martial arts pro with a drug problem in 2009 and 2011 movies directed by Guy Ritchie.

On TV, there’s the BBC’s Sherlock, starring Benedict Cumberbatch

as the acerbic, anti-social detective, and CBS’ modern Sherlockian series Elementary, with Jonny Lee Miller as the private eye.

All these new iterations are “a means to quench an audience appetite for exciting new stories,” says Elementary’s Lucy Liu, who plays Sherlock’s sidekick, Watson.

To those who play Holmes, his appeal isn’t puzzling. “This man could solve anything, and the rest of us are running behind him, trying to catch up,” McKellen says.

Doyle’s Holmes appeared in 56 short stories and four novels, the most famous of which is arguably 1902’s The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Game), who wrote the 2010 novel The Sherlockian about the hunt for Doyle’s missing diary, attributes Holmes’ enduring allure to the fact that he continues to be reinvented.

“Sherlock Holmes presented the most successful example of procedural storytelling that would come to dominate film and television and novels. He was the first character who was at the center of these loosely interconnected stories,” Moore says.

Plus, he says, “there’s a romance to being an irascible genius. You excuse Sherlock’s jerkiness because he’s so brilliant and because he has the right motivations. But the jerkiness allows him to be really funny.”

Rachel McAdams, who starred in both of Downey’s Holmes movies and now plays an investigator on HBO’s True Detective, says if she modeled her TV character on anyone, “it would be Sherlock Holmes.”

Like Holmes, McAdams’ Antigone Bezzerides has “senses that are all going at once and she can smell a rat. He originated that. He’s using his whole being to sniff something out rather than being cerebral.”

Jonny Lee Miller (Elementary, top), Robert Downey Jr. (2009 and 2011 films) and Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock) each played the detective.

Can Harper Lee do it again?

2 million first-run print copies of “Go Set a Watchman” while “To Kill a Mockingbird” (1960) still sells about 1 million copies a year

Sources Publishers Weekly; HarperCollins Publishers TERRY BYRNE AND PAUL TRAP, USA TODAY

Harper Lee’s new book Go Set a Watchman — written in the 1950s but only now being published — is turning out to be a huge talker.

In Watchman, we discover that Atticus Finch, the heroic father figure from Lee’s beloved 1960 Southern novel To Kill a Mockingbird, is a bigot.

The revelation has set Twitter on fire and prompted debate among critics who have reviewed the novel, which goes on sale Tuesday.

For readers, it’s like learning there is no Santa Claus.

On Twitter, some Mockingbird fans say they’ll boycott the book, while others want to give it a chance. “No matter how good it may be I think it will break my heart to read it,” said one tweet, while another said the Atticus news makes Watchman a “must

Harper Lee, now 89, wrote Go Set a Watchman in the 1950s. She set it aside in favor of the story of young Scout Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird.

read.”

Watchman is considered an early draft of Mockingbird; Lee, now 89, set it aside after her editor suggested she instead turn to the story of Scout Finch as a child.

Mockingbird became a classic novel of tolerance, with Atticus teaching generations of readers not to judge a man by his skin color. In Watchman, Scout (now called Jean Louise and in her 20s) returns home in the 1950s to Maycomb, Ala., where she discov-

ers that her father is not the saint she, or we, thought he was.

Reviews so far have been largely mixed, with many critics calling the Atticus story troubling, even shocking.

“Go Set a Watchman is a distressing book, one that delivers a startling rebuttal to the shining idealism of To Kill a Mockingbird.

This story is of the toppling of idols; its major theme is disillusion,” wrote The Wall Street Journal.

Said The New York Times: “Shockingly, in Ms. Lee’s longawaited novel, Go Set a Watchman, Atticus is a racist who once attended a Klan meeting, who says things like ‘The Negroes down here are still in their childhood as a people.’ Or asks his daughter: ‘Do you want Negroes by the carload in our schools and churches and theaters?’ ” Publisher HarperCollins responded: “The question of Atticus’ racism is one of the most important and critical elements in this novel, and it should be considered in the context of the book’s broader moral themes.”

A number of critics say Watchman shines new light on Mockingbird, a classroom staple, and raises fascinating questions.

USA TODAY’s eeEE review said, “If you think of Watchman as a young writer’s laboratory, it provides valuable insight into the generous, complex mind of one of America’s most important authors.”

MOVIES

McKellen is as magnetic as ever Time is still on the seasoned actor’s side, especially as he takes on an aging Holmes Donna Freydkin @freydkin USA TODAY

SEE THE VIDEOS LIFE .USATODAY .COM

Ian McKellen talks real-life sidekicks and which great mysteries he’d love to solve.

NEW YORK Time’s a ticking for Sir Ian McKellen.

Quite literally, as a matter of fact, given that he plays Cogsworth, a clock, in Disney’s liveaction Beauty and the Beast retelling, slated for a 2017 release.

“Why the hell am I doing it? It just tickled my fancy,” McKellen says. “To be in a Disney musical at 76, it’s good, isn’t it? It means you’re still functioning.”

That’s an understatement.

Two-time Oscar nominee McKellen just served as one of the grand marshals of Manhattan’s annual Gay Pride Parade. He’s about to write his memoirs, a task he deems “quite daunting” because he hasn’t kept any journals over his career.

And this weekend, he stars as one of the literary world’s most fascinating sleuths in Mr. Holmes (opens Friday) about the detective’s uneasy retirement and waning faculties in his later years.

For McKellen, the appeal lay in the fully realized script and the delicious character. Holmes, says the actor, “is a bit superhuman.

He’s the best. It’s a very good name, Sherlock. It doesn’t take much to imagine being him.

There was no acting problem. So I suppose I was very concerned to get the age right.”

He had reason to worry, says Laura Linney, who plays his putupon housekeeper and who is in awe of the actor’s real-life vivacity while he convincingly plays a 93-year-old.

“Ian has the body of a 16-yearold. He loves his life. He’s involved politically and artistically in the world. He’s connected,” she says. “There’s great circulation in his life. It shows in him physically.

“You always wonder when

McKellen as Sherlock Holmes

someone is playing someone much older, how is that going to come together? In this case, it’s a great actor combined with a great makeup artist. It was a beautiful balance.”

Another challenge: taking on Holmes’ hobby of beekeeping.

“I really did handle the bees, and without gloves,” McKellen says. “They’re great little critters.

People who keep bees love them; they talk to them. It was big fun.”

McKellen mastered every aspect of the role, Linney says.

“It’s wonderful to work with someone who knows what they’re doing. You don’t have to

start from the beginning with anything. You work in a concentrated, efficient way,” she says.

Certainly, McKellen has plenty to pull from, being as proficient onstage as Macbeth as he is at embodying his two most famous big-screen characters, Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies and magneticfield-controlling mutant Magneto in the X-Men movies. He was named a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1979 and knighted in 1991.

“I get rather used to it that a kid on the street will recognize me and want to have a word with me,” McKellen says. “I’ve never had people behave badly, probably because the two parts I’m best known for are rather impressive men.”

Does this mean he has his pick of plum roles? “I have my choice of anything that’s offered to me.”

Looking back on his career, which began onstage while studying English literature at Cambridge, McKellen says he was never after “fame and glory. It was about getting better as an actor. It’s a cutthroat business.

It’s a business that might decide collectively that you’re no good.

I’m one of the lucky ones. On the whole, your work will be judged by its quality.”

That brings us back to his memoirs. McKellen isn’t sure how to approach them or what tone to use.

“My first ambition was to be a journalist. I used to write little pieces for the local paper. I quite like working out my thoughts,” he says, adding that an autobiography was “something I said I would never do. You have to work out who you’re writing it for. Do I have to explain who Shakespeare is? I think I’m going to write it for the bright 14-year-old.”

A. They make it a point to do table reads for every episode. ... Most of the other animation I’ve worked on, I don’t ever see the other actors. ... So this feels more like something we’re all working on together. ... Also, it’s weird to say, because some things in the show are a little more crazy, but it does feel more grounded. Unlike a voice like Unikitty (in The Lego Movie), it basically is my own voice and the scenes that we’re doing are sometimes very dramatic.

dies. But with movies like this and (Amy Schumer’s) Trainwreck, and TV series like The Mindy Project, there seems to be a resurgence of strong, unfiltered female voices. Is that what audiences want?

A. People will always want to watch romantic comedies. But with big studio rom-coms, they just got too formulaic. It seemed like, “We figured it out, here’s how you do it!” and then they all filled a little cookie cutter. So it’s interesting right now with some of these more indie romantic comedies. And Trainwreck’s not an indie, but Amy Schumer has such a unique voice and she’s so bold and unapologetic, and Leslye is the same way. I love romantic comedies. I’m glad they’re having a resurgence right now and feeling fresher and more like today.

Straight from the horse ghostwriter’s mouth

Say hello again to a foulmouthed horse and his ghostwriter-turned-friend Diane.

When Netflix’s BoJack Horseman returns Friday for a second season, the washed-up stallion sitcom star (voiced by Will Arnett) starts shooting a biopic of race horse Secretariat, but is quickly overcome by childhood demons and insecurities.

“It’s a true, adult animated show, not just because it’s raunchy, but because it’s dark and deep and dealing with these issues,” says Alison Brie, who voices Diane and co-stars with Aaron Paul, Amy Sedaris and Paul F. Tompkins.

The actress, who’s best known as the bookish Annie Edison on Community and Pete Campbell’s wife, Trudy, on Mad Men, just wrapped shooting the romantic comedy How to Be Single with Rebel Wilson and Dakota Johnson. The busy Brie stopped by San Diego Comic-Con last week to promote TV Land comedy Teachers, which she executive produces. She caught up with USA TODAY to chat BoJack, Spike TV’s Lip Sync Battle and new film Sleeping with Other People, out Sept. 11.

Jessie J’s Bang Bang). How nervous were you (competing against Arnett)?

A. I was super nervous. ... Obviously, we’re not singing — but you don’t get another chance to do it, so leading up to it, I practiced a lot. Well, Shoop I’ve known since I was a kid, so that one was easy. But I just had Bang Bang on repeat in my car every day.

Q. You’ve been in romantic comedies (Save the Date and The FiveYear Engagement), but what drew you to Sleeping with Other People’s take on the genre?

A. There was a lot of depth and darkness there. I love (director) Leslye Headland and the way she writes. (She) draws on personal experiences and writes the way people are today, so it didn’t feel like some fantasy romantic comedy, of a dream scenario of what happens when you fall in love.

Q. Major studios have been making fewer romantic come-

Q. The Season 6 finale of Community offered closure for the study group members, including Annie, who accepted an FBI internship. If it turns out to be the series finale, do you think it’d be a satisfying way to end the show?

A. I definitely do, it was nice to see. If we had ended last year after Season 5, I would’ve been disappointed. And I think (creator) Dan Harmon even made the finale that way, like, “This can’t be the last one!” But this one definitely felt that way.

Q. Do you think a seventh season or a movie is likelier?

A. I don’t know anything for sure, but I feel in my heart that a movie would be more likely than a seventh season at this point. To me, it makes sense because the hashtag is #SixSeasonsAndAMovie, and we’ve always (made) our show for the fans.

Q. Mad Men signed off in May. The last time we saw Trudy, she was jetting off with Pete to start a new life in Wichita. Do you think she’s happy there?

A. Absolutely. Her outfit in the final episode says it all, which is (that) Trudy’s arrived. All she ever wanted was to have a great family and a successful husband. She did everything she could to foster his career and all Trudy’s dreams are coming true. I loved it.

y the time the sun rises Thursday, shoppers will be hitting the streets for the 56th annual Downtown Lawrence Sidewalk Sale. With about 100 businesses participating, stores in downtown Lawrence will be offering the discounts that have been getting people out of bed early for years.

While the rows of racks and tables lining the sidewalks draw crowds, don’t forget to go inside to shop as well, said Sally Zogry, director of Downtown Lawrence, Inc. “Just because they’re not out on the sidewalk, it doesn’t mean they aren’t participating,” she said, noting that some merchandise has to stay indoors to avoid the heat.

The sale goes on rain or shine, and there will be five cooling stations where shoppers can sit down indoors and have free water, Zogry said.

Several food vendors will also have pop-up restaurants and stands along Massachusetts for those who want to grab and go.

So whether you like to plan your route or prefer to wander, here’s a small sample of what the sale has to offer from sunup to sundown. And for those making a day of it, locations of cooling stations, food vendors and restroom areas are also included.

AN OLD PHOTO OF WEAVER’S DEPARTMENT STORE DURING THE 1961 DOWNTOWN LAWRENCE SIDEWALK BAZAAR is pictured in front of Weaver’s during the Downtown Lawrence Sidewalk Sale in 2012.

BIRTH OF THE ‘BAZAAR’

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

When Don McDow first suggested the idea of a “sidewalk bazaar” in 1959 to other business owners in downtown Lawrence, he said got a mixed reaction.

“Some people are opposed to a new idea no matter how good it is,” McDow said, noting that while some were on board, others were hesitant.

At the time, McDow was the manager of the Ben Franklin Store, an arts and crafts supply store that was located at 805 Massachusetts St. The Downtown Lawrence Sidewalk Sale, now

in its 56th year, has been held ever since, and about 100 businesses now participate. But that first year, McDow said, only about a dozen businesses took part.

“I said, ‘Hey, it’s sure a good way to clean out your basement,’” McDow said of his appeal to other shop owners.

In addition to clearing out merchandise, McDow said he wanted the event to have a carnival atmosphere. The day included the sale of fried bread by Haskell Institute (now Haskell Indian Nations University) as well as cotton candy and popcorn stands.

As far as the items for sale, he and his fellow

How the Sidewalk Sale got its start in 1959

“

I said, ‘Hey, it’s sure a good way to clean out your basement.’”

— Don McDow, former manager of the Ben Franklin Store who first suggested the idea of having a downtown sidewalk sale businesses put merchandise out on the sidewalk, selling some items for as low as 15 cents. McDow said he put his items out at 8 a.m. and that by noon several other stores had joined him — “and we were sold out by 4 or 5.”

After the initial success, the sale continued to expand.

“It just got bigger every year,” McDow said.

One of the stores that

participated that first year was Weaver’s, 901 Massachusetts St., which is operated by the Flannery family. Joe Flannery, current president of Weaver’s, who ran his first sale in 1973, said the amount of merchandise and size of the crowd has more than doubled since then, and more food, music and activities have been incorporated.

“You can see or buy just

about anything imaginable during that day — it’s become quite a festival,” Flannery said.

McDow, 86, said that while he doesn’t get around as well, he still likes to drive downtown the day of the Sidewalk Sale to see how many people turn out.

“I like to see what the crowd looks like,” he said.

And every year, the crowds do come — from 10,000 to 20,000 people from Lawrence and surrounding areas — even some from hours away, said Sally Zogry, director of Downtown Lawrence, Inc. “People plan for it, put it in their calendars,” she said.

A HIGH SUGAR INTAKE CAN INCREASE YOUR RISK OF HEALTH PROBLEMS, but sugar cravings can be controlled by changing your snacking habits, reading product labels and replacing sweet drinks with healthier alternatives such as water and milk.

Use these 9 tips to curb cravings for sweets

By Aynsley Anderson Lawrence Memorial Hospital

Why do so many of us like or even crave sweet drinks and treats? There may be a lot of reasons, including evidence that we are wired from early infancy onward to prefer the taste of sweet over other flavors.

Sugar, in the form of carbohydrates, stimulates the release of the “feel-good” hormone serotonin. The taste of sugar releases endorphins that help calm and relax us, providing a kind of “high.” There is some evidence that sugar may activate the same part of the brain that cocaine,

heroin and other addictive substances do.

Also, we often use sugar as a reward for a job well done, such as eating a healthy meal, exercising or completing a big project.

The United States Department of Agriculture notes that Americans’ average daily calorie intake has significantly increased in the past 50 years. This is mostly due to increased consumption of

sugar-laden beverages like soft drinks, energy and sports drinks, and sweetened tea.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, the average adult consumes 152 pounds of added sugar each year or about 22 teaspoons a day. This amounts to an extra 350 calories a day and is well beyond the daily maximum amount recommended by the American Heart Association, which is less than 6 teaspoons a day (about 100 calories) for women and less than 9 teaspoons a day (about 150 calories) for men.

Know the signs of concussions in young athletes

By Sarah White-Hamilton TherapyWorks

Kids often play rough, but parents and coaches need to be aware if a hard knock to a young athlete’s head results in a concussion.

Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., describes a concussion as “a mild injury to the brain that changes how the brain normally works.”

The Children’s Mercy website says concussions are typically caused by a sudden blow or jolt to the head.

And while many children bump or hit their heads without causing

a concussion, parents should be aware of signs and symptoms if a child is “dinged.”

A person does not need to be knocked out or lose consciousness to have had a concussion; less than 10 percent of concussions result in loss of consciousness.

Here are some common symptoms of concussions: l Headache l Dizziness l Confusion l Ringing in ears l Blurred vision l Nausea When a child returns to playing too early, he or she risks experienc-

ing second-impact syndrome, which happens when a player sustains a second head injury before the first is healed.

Symptoms can include: l Brain swelling l Vascular engorgement l Increased intra-cranial pressure, which can be fatal How hard was the hit?

There are ways to measure the severity of a concussion. Health care providers often grade concussions on a graded scale called Cantu Guidelines:

Study: Target rough play to cut soccer concussions

By Lindsey Tanner Associated Press

Heading takes the heat in youth soccer, but limiting rough play might be a better way to prevent concussions and other injuries, a nine-year study of U.S. high school games suggests.

Wes: August is just a few weeks away, Kyra is down to just five columns in her Double Take year, and the annual migration of teens from here to there will soon begin. Newly minted young adults will leave us to move, more or less, into the great big “real world.”

There are two opposite problems that plague families at this point of transition. The first, which I’ll discuss, is one of parents not being ready to let go of their teens. Kyra will cover the second: kids not being ready to leave their homes.

The fundamental dilemma of parenting is how much to hold on to children and how much to push them. It’s sort of like the air/fuel mixture in an engine: It has to be optimally balanced for that particular machine.

Otherwise, you’re either burning too much fuel or running too lean to get good performance.

In parenting, the fuel is the love, attention, oversight, and worry you put into your kids. The air is the freedom for them to go out and live life — getting pushed further than they’re comfortable and eventually out of the nest.

Like the engine example, not every mixture is going to work the same for every teen.

That’s why parenting books frustrate me. No one strategy, like Love and Logic or attachment parenting, is going to Please see COLLEGE, page 2C

University of Colorado public health researcher who led the study.

There have been recent calls to ban or limit heading in youth soccer, particular among players younger than 14, because of concerns about longterm effects of concussions and repeated brain trauma. Women’s soccer stars including 1999 World Cup star Brandi Chastain are among supporters of a ban in kids’ soccer.

Sugar CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

a chocolate bar or breakfast cereal increases insulin production as the body tries to bring blood glucose levels back to normal. What can happen next then is a “sugar crash,” which can lead to craving for more sugar.

This may start a blood sugar roller-coaster ride throughout the day.

Here are nine tips from the American Academy of Dietetics to help beat a sugar habit: l Drink plenty of calorie-free water. l If tolerated, include low-fat milk in your daily beverage intake. l Keep juice intake to a maximum of 4-6 ounces a day. If you drink juice, choose 100 percent fruit juice. Even better is to opt for fresh fruit and vegetables, which provide fiber and phytonutrients. l If consuming sweetened beverages, opt for the smallest serving size. l Be a sugar sleuth: Learn to read labels and to identify “code” words that indicate sugar or another sweetener is contained within the product.

For more about artificial sweeteners, visit the website hsph.harvard.edu. l Know the acceptable daily intake (ADI) for artificial sweeteners such as saccharin or aspartame. With these, you can also have too much of a good thing. To learn more about this topic, go to nlm.nih.gov or fda.gov. l Make sure to eat regular meals containing protein (preferably a lean source), which helps to

Rough play has become more common at all levels of soccer, but it violates rules that prohibit most player-to-player contact on the field, she said.

Five things to know about the study, published Monday in the journal JAMA Pediatrics:

The data The researchers looked at 2005-2014 nationwide sports injury data from a nationally representative sample of 100 public and private high schools.

The study included older teens and some middleschool aged kids younger than 14 who played at the high school level.

This initiative will phase in healthier beverage offerings, provide an “At-a-Glance” classification system to make those choices more easily identifiable and incorporate healthier snack options for employees and visitors.

The other phases, which will roll out over the next year, include modifying drink options sold in cans and bottles in the cafeteria and vending machines; modifying juice drink options; and modifying food options available in the cafeteria and vending machines.

The researchers note that soccer has long been considered safer than other youth sports and has increased in popularity since 1969, when only boys played at the high school level.

The reaction Bob Colgate, sports medicine director for the National Federation of State High School Associations, said the study highlights why soccer rules need to be enforced.

He said caution against fighting and reckless play will be highlighted by the group’s soccer rules committee for the upcoming season.

game officials and spectators must work together to model and demonstrate sportsmanship and fair play, to minimize risk and maximize participation,” Colgate said.

The kicker Chris Nowinski, cofounder of the Sports Legacy Institute, noted that a degenerative brain disease linked with repeated head blows and more often associated with football has recently been found in autopsies of professional soccer players. The new study adds to concerns that have been raised about rough play, he said.

“It’s important that we take a close look at how we can make the game of soccer safer,” Nowinski said.

with the goal of some day reaching the magical, distant land of “College.”

Now, as I approach the border of the real world, I find myself somewhat ambivalent about crossing over, despite years of preparation.

In preparing for this once far-off future, I focused mostly on academics, ignoring and avoiding the part where I can no longer plead with my brother every day to do my laundry in exchange for a sandwich.

Sure, freedom and independence sound great and all, but so does the support and presence of family.

While young adults tend to have more strained relationships with parents and siblings than they did when they were younger, the comfort of a home-cooked meal or a parent who’ll do laundry or pay a cellphone bill can make it hard to move out and stay out.

If I were staying in town for college, it would be tempting to stop by home on the weekends and beg for food, laundry services and a cat or brother to cuddle.

However, to become a true resident of the real world, one must move away from dependency and toward the independence of adulthood. You don’t have to cut ties

Dear Annie: My husband has been dead for years. He was strong, handsome and successful, but not faithful.

Women shamelessly threw themselves at him and he took advantage.

He once had to send me to a doctor to be tested for STDs, and I was so angry and embarrassed that I decided the only way to keep the marriage intact for the children’s sake would be to forget about romance and approach it like a business.

The problem is, one of his affairs may have produced a child. The woman was married at the time and still is. Her husband is considered the legal father, and for all I know, he may be the biological father. My husband and I never spoke about this baby boy, but everyone else did because we lived in a small

Space age is ongoing on ‘Pluto’ Our popular culture tends to treat space exploration as a topic of mid-20th-century nostalgia. ABC’s dreadful “Astronaut Wives Club” is the latest example. But space exploration is still very much happening in the present tense, or something like it, as seen on “Mission Pluto” (8 p.m., National Geographic), hosted by “Brain Games” maestro Jason Silva.

“Mission” coincides with the much-anticipated “flyby” of the dwarf planet Pluto at the very edge of our solar system.

The unmanned mission of the New Horizons craft to Pluto has been nine years in the making and has traveled more than three billion miles. Since launching in 2006, the New Horizons has traveled faster than any object made by man. Well beyond the forces of planetary gravity, it today approaches Pluto at the speed of nine miles per second.

Speaking of speed, the signals from the Horizon take four and a half hours to reach Earth. And they travel at the speed of light.

So any images we receive from the distant planet will already have become visions from our own (very) recent past.

Cosmic stuff, when you think about it.

She has five children, and I’d love to attend their birthday parties if I had more than four hours’ notice.

For Tuesday, July 14: This year you often will flip back and forth between different opinions. To you, you are processing your thoughts. To those around you, you are making them crazy.

Try to verbalize less to avoid triggering others. If you are single, you will meet someone anytime from when the cool weather begins to your next birthday. This relationship could be major. If you are attached, the two of you love hanging out together.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) +++ Honor a sense of feeling drained. It might be best to spend some time at home relaxing. Tonight: Make you your No. 1 priority.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) +++ Double-check all your financial dealings, and make sure there are no errors. Tonight: Pay bills.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ++++ You are far more direct than many people realize. Your moodiness sometimes confuses others. Tonight: Free yourself up.

Why should my children and I be expected to drop our plans to appease her? — Any Minute Auntie Dear Auntie: Your sister-in-law is either disorganized or enjoying a power trip. We’d give her the benefit of the doubt. Trying to arrange parties when you have five children in sporting activities is difficult. Nonetheless, you are not obligated to attend any party planned on such short notice and subject to cancellation. If you want to let the kids know that you care, we recommend getting them a birthday gift and dropping it off at another time.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD WAYNE SELDEN JR. (1) YELLS TO THE CROWD after the United States’ 84-77, double-overtime victory over Germany in the World University Games’ goldmedal game on Monday in Gwangju, South Korea.

U.S. scraps way to Games gold

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Gwangju, South Korea — Whenever the United States’ men’s basketball team needed a basket in the final minutes of the World University Games championship on Monday, the Jayhawks turned to Kansas University junior point guard Frank Mason III. Every time, the fearless 5-foot-11 Mason found a way to deliver. He led the Jayhawks to a gold medal in an 84-77 thriller, in doubleovertime, against Germany at Yeomju Gymnasium, marking the first U.S. gold at the games since 2005, and 14th all time.

Mason scored 11 points in the final 14 minutes, includ-

ing game-tying free throws in regulation and a gametying layup in the first overtime.

Trailing by two points with under two minutes remaining in the second overtime, Kansas junior guard Wayne Selden Jr. caught a pass from Mason on the left wing and drilled a threepointer, giving the Jayhawks a 78-77 lead.

After Selden’s three, which was only his second made triple in 11 attempts, SMU senior guard Nic Moore stole a pass in the backcourt, was fouled and buried two free throws for a three-point advantage.

Germany turned the ball over on its next possession,

If your goal is to minimize the gold medal that Kansas-dominated Team USA won in the World University Games, you can find fodder to do so.

Many countries’ top talent was reserved for the impending Pan-American Games.

Some of the players Kansas/USA faced along the way play Div. III basketball.

In terms of sheer athletic ability, running fast, jumping high and quickly, nobody stacked up with the Americans.

Blah, blah, blah.

None of that changes the fact that Bill Self’s first veteran-laden team in three years won the USA’s first gold medal at the World University Games since 2005.

TAMPA BAY RAYS

AL CENTRAL

By Al Iannazzone

Las Vegas — Becky Hammon’s mind was racing. She’s used to running a team with a basketball in her hand, but not a dry-erase board.

Hammon, the former WNBA guard for the Liberty and San Antonio Silver Stars, devised a game plan. She stood, sat, shuffled players in and out, called out plays and drew up some.

She did everything a coach does, and everything about it was new — not just for Hammon.

She became the first woman to act as a head coach in an NBA summer league game when the Spurs played the Knicks on Saturday at Thomas & Mack Center.

In the closing seconds, Hammon called timeout with the Spurs down three. She had the board in hand and all eyes were on her as Hammon designed a play. It worked.

Hammon got undrafted forward Jerrell Eddie an open corner 3-pointer. The shot didn’t fall, but it didn’t matter nearly as much as what the moment represented.

“I think it’s important that women be rewarded for their brains as much as any guy,” Hammon said. “It’s about the bigger picture.

“You want to make sure that when your wife or daughter goes in for a job interview she gets the same opportunity that a guy gets, whether it’s basketball or the Army or CEOs or the operating room, we want women there and statistics will tell you it’s important that a woman is in the mix.”

This wouldn’t have been possible if not for the always forward-thinking Gregg Popovich and the NBA’s model franchise, the San Antonio Spurs.

After Hammon tore her ACL in 2013, Popovich allowed her to sit in on Spurs practices and video sessions. He hired her last season to join his staff, and Hammon became the NBA’s first female assistant coach.

“I’m grateful for the opportunity,” Hammon said. “I’ve spent this last year in the greatest learning place for a coach.

If Henry Ford came back and said ‘Hey let me show you how to make cars,’ anybody who doesn’t jump on that opportunity is crazy.

“I’m learning all sorts of things, not only about Xs and Os but also about how to handle a team, how to speak to guys. I feel like I’m just a flower getting great roots but far from blooming. Far from blooming.”

Hammon isn’t the only woman coaching in summer league.

Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman is working as an assistant for the Kings and ex-WNBA player Lindsay Harding is a guest on Toronto’s staff.

Many thought Lieberman would be the first woman on an NBA bench. She coached in the WNBA and was the head coach of the Mavericks’ D-League team, the Texas Legends. After Hammon was hired by the Spurs, she reached out to Lieberman.

“She texted me and said, ‘I’m sorry,’ “ Lieberman told NBA. com. “I got on the phone and said ‘I’m going to kick your behind. Don’t ever say you’re sorry. You’re opening a door.’ It doesn’t matter who opens that door, as long as somebody does it.”

Hammon can’t help but think that way about herself sometimes. But she’s focused on her job first and trying to become a good coach.

She said her first experience running a team was “eye-opening” and that her “brain was just going the entire time.” She also said she hopes every game doesn’t come down to the wire.

“That’s freaking stressful.”

BRITAIN’S CHRISTOPHER FROOME LISTENS TO A QUESTION AT THE START OF A NEWS CONFERENCE on the rest day of the Tour de France cycling race Monday in Pau, France.

Froome: Time to lay cards on the table Pau, France — Tour de France leader Chris Froome says it’s time for the race favorites to lay their cards on the table.

Speaking Monday on the first rest day, the Sky team leader says the high mountains that start today with an ascent into the Pyrenees will offer the first true gauge of his rivals’ fitness.

Froome described the mountains as “the heart of the race” and “where the real race for yellow truly starts” because “we are going to see who has done their homework, who has got what.”

When he won in 2013, Froome made an immediate impression on the first Pyrenean stage, with a swashbuckling ride that left rivals eating his dust. This time, he is not obliged to attack thanks to the already sizeable time advantage he built up in the first nine stages over some other main contenders.

That puts the onus on them to make up the lost minutes. Froome needs only to ensure that they don’t ride off ahead of him on the uphill roads.

Froome’s team manager Dave Brailsford noted that “if nobody attacks, we’ve won the race.” He says Sky wants to attack, “but we’re not going to be reckless.”

Basso withdraws with tumor Pau, France — Stunning the Tour de France on its first rest day, doctors diagnosed a tumor in the left testicle of two-time Giro d’Italia winner Ivan Basso on Monday, forcing him out of the showcase race.

His former rival Lance Armstrong, who survived testicular cancer that spread to his lungs and brain, immediately tweeted his support.

At age 37, Basso wasn’t a contender to win the race, as the Italian was in his heyday before he was banned for doping. But his experience and pedigree — Basso finished second at the 2005 Tour and third in 2004 — meant his withdrawal was keenly felt by his team leader Alberto Contador.

The 2007 and 2009 champion must now tackle the most arduous two weeks of the Tour, with decisive climbs in the Pyrenees and Alps, without the assistance and moral support of his veteran teammate and training partner.

On what is often an uneventful day of rest and relaxation when riders recharge their batteries before the high mountains, a visibly shaken Basso appeared with Contador at a news conference and announced that just two hours earlier, doctors diagnosed a tumor in his left testicle that had been painful since he crashed on Stage 5.

Contador put his arm around Basso and vowed, his voice cracking with emotion, to do his best to win the race to honor his teammate.

Van Garderen joins ‘Fab Four’ Pau, France — The Tour de France’s “Fab Four” have, with Tejay van Garderen, become five.

The rider for the BMC team wasn’t seen by many as a potential Tour winner when the race set off from Utrecht on July 4. But nine stages later, the American heads into the high mountains of the Pyrenees trailing race leader Chris Froome by just 12 seconds.

That means van Garderen is now being mentioned in the same breath as 2013 winner Froome, 2007 and 2009 champion Alberto Contador, 2014 winner Vincenzo Nibali and 2013 runner-up Nairo Quintana.

Van Garderen sees the funny side of being left off that list of pre-race list of favorites, saying Monday on the first rest day of this 102nd Tour that it “seemed a little incomplete” without him and noting that “the Backstreet Boys have five guys.”

Van Garderen, who finished fifth at the 2012 and 2014 Tours, said he expects this year’s race will be decided next week on climbs in the Alps and not this week in three days of ascents in the Pyrenees, which start today.

Memphis, Tenn. — The Memphis Grizzlies have signed All-Star center Marc Gasol to a multi-year contract, fulfilling the team’s top priority this offseason.

The team announced Gasol’s signing Monday. Although the Grizzlies didn’t release terms of the deal, the Associated Press previously reported Gasol had agreed on a five-year maximum contract worth more than $100 million.

General manager Chris Wallace says Gasol has been a pillar both of the team and the Memphis community, making this a great day for both.

The 7-foot-1 Spaniard is coming off the best season of his career, earning a starting spot in the All-Star game. He also became the first Grizzlies’ player voted to the All-NBA first team.

Gasol averaged 17.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.62 blocks this past season.

Lin looking to find stability

Check out ljworld.com and KUSports. com for online-only content from the Journal-World staff.

Charlotte, N.C. — Point guard Jeremy Lin is hoping to find some stability with the Charlotte Hornets.

The five-year NBA veteran said he has no regrets about leaving the New York Knicks after the 2012 season to sign with the Houston Rockets during a news conference Monday. But he made it pretty clear he’s ready to find the right fit.

Three teams removed from “Linsanity” fame, he says: “I want to get back to what makes me what I am as a player, which is being aggressive, being on the attack and always charging toward the rim.”

Lin spent two seasons with the Rockets before being dealt to the Lakers. He signed a two-year, $4.37 million contract last week with the Hornets — the only team that offered him a free agent contract.

SOCCER

U.S., Panama play to 1-1 tie Kansas City, Kan. — Michael Bradley scored the equalizer early in the second half, helping the United States to a 1-1 draw with Panama on Monday night and wrapping up a sluggish but unbeaten trip through group play in the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Blas Perez scored in the 34th minute to give Panama (0-1-2) the lead on a hot, humid night in the Midwest, and for a while it looked as if that would be enough.

But after second-half substitutions Clint Dempsey and DeAndre Yedlin energized the Americans (2-0-1), the U.S. finally began to attack. Alejandro Bedoya’s perfect cross wound up on the right foot of Bradley, who poked the equalizer into the net in the 55th minute for his 14th international goal.

Already assured of first place in Group A, the U.S. improved to 30-1-3 in Gold Cup group play. But none of the Americans’ three matches in this year’s Gold Cup, including a 2-1 victory over Honduras and a 1-0 win over Haiti, left coach Jurgen Klinsmann brimming with confidence as they head into their quarterfinal Saturday in Baltimore.

Panama must await the outcome of the remaining group matches this week to know whether a pair of draws — after blowing 1-0 leads in both games — will be enough to advance.

If not, the U.S. will once again crippled Panama’s hopes.

Two years ago, the Americans beat Los Canaleros 1-0 in the Gold Cup final. Three months later, Graham Zusi and Aron Johannsson scored in second-half stoppage time to deny Panama a spot in the World Cup in Brazil — a berth that wound up going to Mexico.

Needing a win to assure advancement, Panama pressed the attack early against the weary, sluggish Americans.

Experienced Lions eagerly open camp

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

With nine seniors ready to lead Lawrence High’s volleyball team this fall, the Lions’ continuity on the court figures to be strong.

Lawrence High volleyball coach Stephanie Magnuson knows those seniors will provide plenty of leadership this fall, but she wanted to make sure the rest of the Lions had the mind-set of being able to contribute as Lawrence High’s summer camp began Monday.

Before the Lions began warming up and doing drills, Magnuson read an excerpt out of “Everything Your Coach Never Told You Because You’re A Girl” by Dan Blank.

“It’s just about the girls getting out of their comfort zone and allowing themselves to be competitive, and allowing it to

The Lions look to improve on a 13-25 campaign in 2014. Senior setter Kyleigh Severa said camp should provide a balance of hard work and fun as the Lions gear up for this season.

Frazier takes Derby at home Cincinnati (ap) — “The Toddfather” has a new title. Todd Frazier — Little League World Series star, Frank Sinatra aficionado — is baseball’s new King of Swing.

The Jersey boy who never seems to get rattled waited until his very last swing — three times, no less — to win the All-Star Home Run Derby in his home ballpark Monday.

Pressure? Sure didn’t show it.

The Reds third baseman became only the second player to win the long-ball competition on his home field Monday night, topping Dodgers rookie Joc Pederson 15-14 with another late surge and one last perfectly timed swing.

“No pressure here with these fans,” he said, after accepting the crossedbats trophy to one more standing ovation at Great American Ball Park.

Frazier joined the Cubs’ Ryne Sandberg for home-field homer titles — the Hall of Fame second baseman did it at Wrigley Field in 1990. Af-

TODD FRAZIER, OF THE CINCINNATI REDS, CELEBRATES after advancing to the finals of the All-Star baseball Home Run Derby on Monday in Cincinnati. Frazier edged Joc Pederson of the Dodgers, 15-14, in the final. ter finishing second last year in Minneapolis, this one was as sweet as that winning swing.

“That pushed me a lot,” Frazier said. “I wanted to get back here. I’d been working in the offseason a little bit. I’m just glad it was in Cincinnati and they could enjoy it with me.”

Pederson was trying to become the first rookie

since Wally Joyner in 1986 to win or share the title. He reached the final round by knocking off Albert Pujols, who provided a blast after making the All-Star team for the first time in five years.

“I’m happy for Todd, especially being able to do it in front of his fans,” Pujols said. “It’s his night. He deserves it. I just hope the

fans were pleased and happy with the performance every single guy did. The right guy won, too.”

Frazier topped Prince Fielder and Josh Donaldson to reach the finals, where he faced his biggest test. Pederson went first and matched the highest total of the night with 14 homers. Frazier needed a late surge to pull even, tying him with 11 seconds left in his round.

He’d hit enough long homers to earn an extra 30 seconds, giving him a chance to take a few breaths, regroup and refocus.

On the first pitch from brother Charlie in extra time, Frazier puffed his cheeks and exhaled as he hit one solidly, then mouthed the words “That’s gone” as the ball headed for the left field stands.

The ballpark was full of fans with arms raised even before the ball landed.

How’s that?

“It was a great environment,” Pederson said.

“It was extremely humbling being out there with Prince Fielder, Albert Pujols and Josh Donaldson.”

some older people coming back that used to play for LHS, which makes it 10 times more fun for us,” Severa said.

The Lions were deep at the setter position last year, with Severa and Marlee Bird. Marlee has graduated, but her younger sister Laurel returns as a junior, so Severa does not expect much if any of a dropoff.

“Laurel and I, since she started setting with me last year, we always have been really close because we are the only two setters on our team,” Severa said. “We kind of share the same role and know what to expect from each other. We push each other in practice, which makes us better.”

Severa will be joined by senior middle blocker Caroline Dykes up front.

Dykes and Severa played key roles in helping the LHS girls track and field

team to a state championship in the spring and want to demonstrate to their teammates what it takes to have a winning season.

“I think that Kyleigh and I, with the experience we had from that, we’ll be able to pull them together and really get in their heads that this is what we need to focus on,” Dykes said.

Dykes will continue to play with confidence in the fall because of the experience in the back line of defensive specialists behind her as well, which consists of seniors Nicole Owens, Nicolosa Kenney and Katie Murrish.

“Over the course of the summer, they’ve really led well,” Magnuson said of the senior class.

“They’ve been present at most of our summer events and raised the bar for everybody else.”

Germany: ‘We had some chances’

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Gwangju, South Korea — Watching the United States’ men’s basketball team celebrate its World University Games gold medal, Germany’s men’s basketball players stood on the other side of the court with their hands on their heads after USA’s 84-77 double-overtime victory on Monday at Yeomju Gymnasium.

The Germans knew they had their chances to win, and that’s what hurt the most.

“It’s a very tough loss for everybody,” Germany coach Henrik Rödl said.

“It’s a big game. It felt like both teams deserved to win. We had big chances before the regular time was out. The first overtime, seemed like we had

them. Then they got back in there and got it tied. At the end, we made a couple mistakes too many to win the game.”

Germany had a fourpoint lead, 66-62, with 1:39 left in regulation, but two defensive fouls led to free throws from Kansas University senior forward Perry Ellis and junior point guard Frank Mason III. With 20 seconds left in regulation, tied 66-all, Germany had the ball with no shot clock, but Mason stole the ball from German guard Maodo Lo and nearly won the game before Mason lost the ball trying to go up for a layup.

“We had some chances,” Rödl said. “We had the ball in our hands.

We didn’t get a shot up (in regulation). With 20

had the last shot, and we didn’t get one.”

In the first overtime, Germany held a fourpoint lead with 2:25 remaining in the period, but missed its next two

shots and gave up two offensive rebounds to USA. German guard Konstantin Klein said tired legs weren’t a factor.

“Both teams were tired, but if you’re going for gold or playing your last game for gold, it doesn’t matter if you’re tired or not,” said Klein, who had 10 points and four rebounds. “You want to win. It’s tough when you’re tired, but it doesn’t matter.”

“It was a tough game for 50 minutes,” Klein added.

“I think we fought pretty good. At the end of the day, they made better plays than we did. They won the game. I don’t know what to say. It’s been a tough loss for us. We came here to win a gold medal.”

Mason scored 11 points in the last 14 minutes, with Germany’s guards and forwards trying to

stop him from driving into the paint.

“He’s a pretty good player,” Klein said of Mason.

“He’s got good ball-handling skills. He can penetrate. He can shoot the ball.

He’s the best point guard in the tournament.”

Mason, Ellis and Kansas University junior guard Wayne Selden Jr. combined for 59 points, but they struggled from the field, shooting 29 percent (18-for-62). The three scored 38 of USA’s 46 points in the second half and two overtimes.

“Selden, Ellis and Mason have been their three-point leaders,” Rödl said. “Obviously it was a main focus (on defense). They played a lot of minutes. You’ve got to put your hats off to them with how many minutes they played.”

“We set a goal when we first came over here,” Selden said. “We weren’t really one of the favorites to win, and we achieved it. We’re really excited about it.”

“I told all of the guys we were going to go undefeated. I had a lot of confidence in my guys and my teammates and coaching staff. That’s what we did.”

In the first overtime, Mason tied the score, 73all, with nine seconds remaining, driving left past his defender and scoring with an underhanded scoop layup.

“He kind of got on the side of me, and I just went left,” said Mason, who scored 11 points in the final 14 minutes. “Seeing the big guy step up, I kind of adjusted the ball and laid it up with my left hand.”

Despite sitting most of the third quarter with

He sunk two free throws to tie the score with 21 seconds left in regulation and nearly won the game with a steal on Germany’s last possession, but he lost the ball driving to the rim.

“There’s not too many guys around better than Frank as far as getting his shoulders past people and getting into the lane and making plays,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “He was big. Then of course Wayne missed shots the whole game, then he was big late himself. Nic didn’t make any shots, then he got the key steal.

To be honest, Perry (Ellis) didn’t shoot the ball that well tonight, either,

but just kept grinding and battling and we made enough plays to come away with a victory.”

Selden finished with a game-high 22 points on 6-of-28 shooting in 48 minutes. After eight games in 10 days, Selden said he never got tired in the tournament until “the last four minutes of regulation,” but he scored seven points in the final overtime.

“I told Wayne, ‘Keep your confidence. Keep shooting the ball,’” Mason said. “Because I’ve seen him make some big plays throughout the tournament. He’s been the best player in the tournament so far, so I kind of told him to stick with his shot, trust his shot, and that’s what he did.”

Selden added: “Everybody was saying push through. As a man, you don’t get tired in those situations.”

Ellis added 19 points (6of-21 shooting) and 10 rebounds, while KU freshman Carlton Bragg had eight points, and senior forward Hunter Mickelson had seven points and five boards. Against the top rebounding team in the tournament, the Jayhawks out-rebounded Germany, 59-46.

“They were aggressive,” said Ellis, who had a black left eye after getting hit on a box-out in Sunday’s semifinal victory. “All these teams out here were real aggressive, you know. We just had to keep battling. Missing shots, but we kept

fighting and we fought through it.”

Both teams had problems creating offense in the fourth quarter and overtimes. USA shot 26 percent in the second half and overtimes (13-for-50), but still found ways to win.

“Our team really bonded and came together,” Self said. “To win it the way we won it tonight against a Germany team that outplayed us in the majority of the game, and we were dead tired, no legs, no lift, couldn’t make a shot. Basically just kind of willed ourselves to win late. Really proud of our guys.”

With Mason’s heroics on Monday, the Jayhawks stood at the top of the medal podium with gold medals around their necks.

Self ‘loved’ coaching USA

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Gwangju, South Ko— In the past, Kansas University/Team USA coach Bill Self had coached a couple of select teams for international exhibition games, but the World University Games was his first experience coaching a USA national team.

Despite using a university team instead of a select team, Self wants to coach USA basketball teams in the future.

“I loved it,” Self said. “I actually coached teams in international play, but it’s been select teams, things like that, like conference all-star teams. So it hasn’t been competition play, it’s been more exhibition games.

“I’ve always wanted to coach with USA basketball. Timing has never allowed me to. I learned a lot during this deal.

You know, if opportunity knocks, then maybe I’ll have a chance to hopefully be able to do something in the future.”

Jayhawks hope to build on win

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Gwangju, South Korea — Following the United States’ men’s basketball team’s gold medal in the World University Games with an 84-77, doubleovertime victory over Germany on Monday, the focus for the Jayhawks is carrying this experience into the next NCAA season.

The Jayhawks received unlimited practice time in preparation for the trip to South Korea and enjoyed playing different styles of teams in the tournament.

“We came over here looking at this as a stepping stone to get better for our team,” KU junior guard Wayne Selden Jr. said. “We did that. And we accomplished a gold medal, which is always a great time.

“I feel great. We’ve got a great group of guys, and we’re missing people. We

DeCourcy made that pick before KU headed overseas, and it’s understandable why he did it.

The Jayhawks have the right blend of veterans and youth, McDonald’s All-Americans and key players overlooked by blue-blood schools and national ranking services.

They won it without foreign-born, incoming freshman center Cheick Diallo (MVP of the McDonald’s and Jordan Brand all-star games) and sophomore guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk of Ukraine, and injured guards Devonté Graham and Brannen Greene.

The Jayhawks had help here and there from SMU’s Nic Moore and to a lesser extent Florida Gulf Coast’s Julian DuBose, but they didn’t make major contributions.

Team USA won the World University Games gold for the first time in 10 years because it had players who have been around Self long enough

uk) and certainly Dwight (Coleby) coming in, that’s a pretty good nucleus that I think we’ll have a lot of fun together.”

In the tournament, the Jayhawks beat Turkey, Brazil, Chile, Switzerland, Serbia, Lithuania, Russia and Germany.

“It’ll help us a lot moving forward,” Mason said.

“It gives a lot of guys confidence going into next season. We’re playing against a lot of pros over here and great guys, so definitely it’ll help us out moving into next season.”

Entering the tournament, the Jayhawks weren’t quite sure what to expect from opponents, but they found ways to win the first U.S. gold since 2005.

“To win as a university team, for the most part, when select teams haven’t been able to do it,” Self said, “I think speaks volumes for how hard these kids played over here.”

played well, and we’re missing people. Imagine when we get those guys back.”

The Jayhawks had to replace junior guard Brannen Greene (hip) and sophomore guard Devonté Graham (quad)

to take on his qualities and to adhere to his No. 1 instruction consistently.

If Self were paid $100 for every time he hollers, “next play, think next play,” to a player in practice and games, he could earn $50 million in 10 years. He could become really, really wealthy.

It takes a tough mind to think “next play,” and Frank Mason III, Wayne Selden Jr. and Perry Ellis all did a terrific job of doing so throughout the games televised by ESPNU and covered live by Journal-World reporter Bobby Nightengale Jr. and photographer Mike Yoder.

Self is a driven, smart, confident person and coach. Above all, he’s a winner. His veteran leaders played driven, smart, confident basketball and became winners.

Selden, clanking shots from near and far as sophomore, looked like an athlete wearing the weight of last-play failures. He was all next play, all the time, in South Korea. Even as the competition returns to faster, quicker and in many cases more skilled than it was in Gwangju, there is no reason to be-

lieve Selden won’t keep thinking next play as a junior.

Watching Mason take his man, time after time, make key free throws, always advance, never retreat, infused teammates with enough confidence to play loose in tight spots.

The emergence of Hunter Mickelson, such a force in staking Kansas to an early lead in the gold-medal, doubleovertime victory vs.

Germany, and an active presence at both ends throughout the tournament, helps the bench. So does the valuable experience gained by talented freshman Carlton Bragg, who need not play a lead role, rather just needs to improve every month leading up to March.

The competition grows much tougher in the Big 12 and tougher again in the late stages of the NCAA Tournament, but in terms of winning on a big stage, KU has a head start on the season.

The players will enjoy looking back on winning the gold for a bit until the season starts and they turn their attention KANSAS GUARD WAYNE SELDEN JR., TOP RIGHT, HANGS for to where it was in South two of his game-high 22 points.

No banner: The Jayhawks helped the U.S. earn its first World University Games gold medal in 10 years and first medal in six years.

Of course, they are proud of their accomplishments, but it won’t be hanging from the rafters in Allen Fieldhouse.

“You had Olympic champions in 1952, and there’s not a banner for that,” Self said. “We won’t do anything like that. You know, we shouldn’t. This is not the highlight of our year. This is just a nice step. We’re not going to make it out to be more than what it is, and that’s that we played great for a couple of weeks.” l

Selden stars: After scoring a game-high 22 points in Monday’s goldmedal victory, Selden finished second in the tournament with 19.3 points per game. He was ninth in field-goal percentage (50.4).

“Wayne was probably our best performer over here consistently,” Self said. “Now, tonight he had his worst game, probably.

But I can’t fault any of them because we are exhausted — we are tired. It’s hard to play well and make shots when you don’t have your legs under you. I thought Wayne played well to the point where it should give him a lot of confidence (into next season).”

Selden shot 6-of-28 in Monday’s 84-77, doubleovertime win, including 2-of-12 from three. He scored a go-ahead threepointer in the second overtime.

“I already know to keep shooting,” Selden said. “I air balled a couple of clutch buckets to go up, but I hit the one that mattered so that’s all that matters.” l

Self trusts guards: During the World University Games, with the shorter 24-second shot clock, Self learned to play through his guards more than usual.

“We didn’t play through our bigs near enough,” Self said. “I learned to trust guys going one-on-one more. I’m not sure that you can win big games in NCAA without throwing the ball inside more.

“But with the short clock and not as many opportunities to do things with the short clock, I think I learned a lot to trust our players to go make plays.”

Spieth resumes Grand Slam quest

By Doug Ferguson AP Golf Writer

St. Andrews, Scotland — There was no escaping Jordan Spieth even before he arrived Monday at St. Andrews to resume his pursuit of the Grand Slam.

Behind the practice range, one British television network talked to any player willing to stop. After a few gratuitous questions about the weather (cool and cloudy) and the Old Course (magnificent shape), the reporter got to the point.

What about Spieth’s chances? “The odds are against him,� said Soren Kjeldsen, relying entirely on history.

Spieth is only the fourth player since 1960, the year Arnold Palmer proposed the concept of the modern Grand Slam in golf, to win the first two majors of the year only to be stopped at the British Open.

Palmer and Jack Nicklaus (1972) finished one shot behind. Tiger Woods was in good position in 2002 until he was blown away by the wind and rain at Muirfield and shot 81 in the third round.

Spieth only added to the hype by winning the John Deere Classic in a playoff Sunday for his fourth win of the year.

He flew on a charter flight from Illinois with other players at the John Deere Classic, arriving in Scotland about 10:30 a.m. and checking into his house before coming out to the Old Course to a quiet reception.

In need of a shave — he’s 21, but yes, he shaves — Spieth and his manager walked through a group of about 100 fans who camped out near the entrance to the player lounge to get his autograph. Spieth signed everything shoved his way, turned and tossing the last item to a delighted young British boy.

The jet lag apparently wasn’t an issue Monday.

Spieth planned to hit balls and play nine holes if he felt up to it. He wound up going 18 holes, and the fans who hung around into the evening were in for a rare treat — Spieth playing, with Woods right behind him. Woods used to tee off before breakfast, but waited until afternoon when most of the drizzling weather cleared out.

They chatted briefly on the 16th green, and Spieth had some fun on the Road Hole at No. 17. He hit three shots out of the famous bunker, all of them onto the green. Then he headed toward the stone wall behind the road and asked a few fans still left, “Can you play it off the wall?� “I didn’t come here to play boring golf,� Spieth said.

He tried it four times, and didn’t reach the green with any of them.

What makes Spieth different from other players in pursuit of the Grand

JORDAN SPIETH OF THE UNITED STATES, RIGHT, TALKS with his caddie Michael Greller during a Monday practice round at St Andrews Golf Club prior to the start of the British Open Golf Championship in St. Andrews, Scotland.

Slam — or even Rory McIlroy, who won the last two majors a year ago, is that he does not overpower golf courses.

He just scores. And he wins. And that’s what golf is all about, anyway. “He beats you with better golf,� Geoff Ogilvy said. “He doesn’t beat you because he hits it further.

Tiger’s intimidation was that he always did something amazing. Jordan — don’t get me wrong, his body of work is amazing — but he doesn’t beat you with a crazy par, or a crazy chip-in from the back of the 14th at Muirfield (Village). He just beats you because he’s better.�

Ogilvy was asked how he would feel going into the final round two shots behind Spieth compared with going against Woods or McIlroy. “It would be different.

It shouldn’t be,� he said. “There’s more of an intimidation factor to Rory because he’s going to hit it 30 (yards) past you all day, and it appears like he’s better than you. Jordan doesn’t appear like he’s better than you. But his body of work proves that he’s better than everybody — well, maybe everybody but Rory.�

That now is in reach.

With his victory at the John Deere, Spieth is within range of his goal of reaching No. 1 in the world. He would have to win The Open this week to get past McIlroy, who is out with an ankle injury with no clear indication when he will be able to return. “What he’s doing is phenomenal,� Nick Faldo said. “And he’s confident. ... He’s seeing the right shot, he’s visualizing the shot. ... And he keeps

churning out good shots.

When you’re doing that, you just jump back on the saddle and ride again.

That’s what he’s doing.�

Only in this case, Spieth had to first jump on a plane.

Not long after he won the U.S. Open, questions arose whether Spieth would change his schedule and skip the John Deere Classic so he could get to Scotland earlier.

He never gave it a second thought.

He wanted competition at a tournament where he picked up his first win.

He wasn’t worried about jet lag. He wasn’t interested in changing his routine for the sake of an extra practice round or two on a course that has been around as long as golf has been played. “He’s young enough where he’ll probably overcome it with a good night’s sleep,� Paul Casey said.

The R&A put Spieth in the same group with Dustin Johnson and Hideki Matsuyama for the opening two rounds.

Johnson had a 12-foot eagle putt on the final hole at Chambers Bay to win the U.S. Open. He threeputted for par, and Spieth was halfway home to the Grand Slam.

More than the Old Course, the real challenge is the players Spieth has to beat. One of those figures to be Johnson, who was asked what he thought about the young Texan’s chances in this unlikely bid to win all four majors in one year. “Well, I’m playing the next two,� Johnson said with a smile, “so we’ll have to see.�

St. Andrews, Scotland (ap) — Laura Davies was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame on Monday, even though she wasn’t around to enjoy all of it.

A four-hour flight delay out of Philadelphia forced her to miss the induction.

In a rush to the University of St. Andrews, she at least watched the ceremony on Sky Sports in the car, but when her pre-recorded video came on, the signal went out and she missed her speech and that of Mark O’Meara. She finally made it to the reception, a surprise to hundreds of guests who thought she

had abandoned efforts to get there.

Davies was inducted along with major champions Mark O’Meara and David Graham of Australia and architect A.W. Tillinghast, who studied under Old Tom Morris and created golf courses that hosted majors.

It was the first time the World Golf Hall of Fame took its ceremony outside the United States.

Not her place in the Hall of Fame. That was earned with four major titles, more than 70 wins around the world as she starred on the LPGA Tour and still supported the Ladies European Tour.

can said Monday, breaking into a grin. “It didn’t come flying back as quick as I thought.�

On his first trip to Scotland, Kisner spent some time Monday working on a shot that he’d never tried before — except maybe at a putt-putt course. He tossed a couple of balls next to the wall that runs down the

right side of the famed Road Hole — preventing a backswing when facing the hole — and attempted to ricochet them onto the green.

He’d seen video of Miguel Angel Jimenez pulling off the shot at the 2010 Open. Kisner wasn’t able to duplicate it, swinging a little too tentatively.

St. Andrews, Scotland (ap) — Facing a group of puzzled British Open spectators, his back to the flag, Kevin Kisner banged one ball off the stone wall alongside the 17th hole.

Then another.
