The military has also seen a 61 percent rise in obesity since 2002 among its active duty forces, driving up obesity-related health care spending and costs to replace unfit military personnel, the report said.

About 99 percent of the schools in Kansas have adopted healthier meals under the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, which requires more fruit, vegetables and whole grains in school meals, along with less sodium, sugar and fat. It was a major achievement, the first update to school lunch rules in decades designed to make school meals more nutritious.

First Lady Michelle Obama lobbied largely behind the scenes for the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010.

Schmader lauded her efforts, but said his nonpartisan group of military leaders had been pushing for healthier school meals long before the first lady got involved. discovered Pluto.”

Preliminary images and information NASA released this week — including an up-close shot showing mountains on Pluto’s icy surface — is exciting for the public but more like a teaser for scientists, Twarog said.

NASA is expected to release a few more photos in coming days, but the bulk of the data won’t be available for months.

Studying that will change our understanding of the planet, Twarog said.

“The images coming back are spectacular,” he said. “The science is going to be even more important.”

Lottery, gaming revenues total $155M: a new record

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — The state of Kansas took in $155 million in lottery and casino gaming revenues during the fiscal year that just ended, a record high for the state, the Kansas Lottery reported.

Lottery officials said the money transferred to the state general fund included $75 million from the sale of traditional lottery tickets, or about $1 million more than the state had anticipated.

And the state received $80 million from the state’s share of profits from the three state-owned and op-

That was about $1.3 million more than state officials had expected.

Kansas Lottery executive director Terry Presta said the record high take from traditional lottery sales came during a year when the lottery industry faced significant challenges.

“High jackpots were in

short supply for Powerball and Mega Millions, and high jackpots are what drive sales,” he said. “Plus a new national game we were counting on for $6 million in sales collapsed in other state lotteries before Kansas could even begin selling it.”

ell, someone woke up on the wrong side of the van Tuesday morning.

Das Autohaus owner Dave Bach told me Wednesday that he’s recently been noticing a man and woman breaking into a Volkswagen van of his in the parking lot of his auto shop at 1045 New Jersey St. Apparently the two have been having quite the time in the van, according to Bach. He said he’s watched surveillance tape of the lot over the past week showing the couple “makin’ out like teenagers” at night, then breaking into the van. Bach also said the van now “stinks to high heaven,” apparently be-

Lawrence Police Department spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said officers arrested a man sleeping inside the VW van just after midnight Tuesday after Bach had asked police to do a few

extra checks at night.

They’d also arrested a woman on suspicion of criminal trespassing around 8:30 a.m. Thursday at Das Autohaus.

McKinley said the man told officers that “an employee told him that was permitted.” Bach begged to differ, and the man was given a notice to appear in court for criminal trespassing. He was also arrested on an outstanding warrant from another jurisdiction, McKinley said.

vative Republican governor in Kansas blasted what he called “activist courts” when the decision came down and said his state would review the ruling to understand its effects on its residents.

will likely carry some paints and other supplies for artists that go beyond printmaking.

To add a twist to the venture, Moore said she is exploring the idea of setting up the print shop as a cooperative, meaning it would be owned by members, and those members would share in the profit of the venture. Cooperative-style ownership has worked well for places like The Merc, and Moore said she thinks the art community would take to the idea of a locally owned and operated supplier.

“Lawrence artists are really conscientious shoppers, and I think they want to shop local,” Moore said.

In terms of a timeline for Wonder Fair to move into the space, Moore said it is “terrifyingly fast.” She has plans for a mid-September opening, she said.

As far as the Blue Dandelion goes, owner Kris Bailey told me she simply decided to retire as her five-year lease on the building was set to expire.

“I decided I didn’t want to do another five years,” Bailey said.

The store has been in business for 10 years. A going out of business sale is underway currently.

Bailey said she wasn’t sure when the last day of business would be for the store. She said that is partly dependent on how much merchandise she sells at today’s Downtown Lawrence Sidewalk Sale.

that the plaintiffs’ “assertions are not correct,” but she did not elaborate.

Kansas asked the court in a July 9 filing to dismiss the ACLU lawsuit because of its now “voluntary compliance” with all aspects of the recent Supreme Court decision.

But the ACLU argued that “as long as these laws remain on the books, there is a real and on-going possibility that some lesser official, employee or agent of the State of Kansas will enforce them.”

Several rural Douglas County routes soon will be reduced to one lane for pavement rehabilitation projects approved Wednesday by county commissioners.

Beginning Aug. 10, portions of Routes 1055, 460, 12, 7 and 6 will be overlaid, said Douglas County Engineer Keith Browning. The project is expected to last 45 working days.

While under construction the roads will be reduced to one lane of alternating traffic, Browning said. The work is not expected to cause any “major disruption” of traffic, he said.

The upcoming project will affect 4.25 miles of Route 458, from North 1175 Road, south to Route 1, Browning said.

As part of the “major” project, he said, three curves along the road, currently posted as 40 mph zones, will be reconstructed to handle 55 mph traffic. In addition, the stretch will receive paved shoulders, and roadside slopes will be flattened for safety, he said.

Commissioners approved contracting with the firm at a cost of no more than $481,389, less than 10 percent of the project’s total estimated cost of $5.9 million.

Online tag renewal now has grace period Kansas drivers who renew their vehicle registration online now have to worry less about receiving a ticket for expired tags, the Kansas Department of Revenue said in a release.

Now, drivers who renew their tags online at KSWebTags.org on the last day of the month will receive a 10-day grace period from the day their tags expire to the day their new tags come in the mail, the release said.

After renewing their tags online, customers can print and carry the online renewal receipt or save their confirmation email on their mobile device until their new decal arrives, the release said. The receipt or confirmation can then act as proof of a renewed registration.

The grace period does not apply to drivers who renew their registration by mail or before their tags expire, which occurs on the last day of each month, the release said.

Over 1 inch of rain recorded Wednesday More than an inch of rain fell Wednesday on Lawrence, putting the area well over the average amount of expected rainfall this far into July, said George Phillips of the National Weather Service in Topeka.

Overnight Tuesday through 9:30 p.m.

Wednesday, Lawrence received 1.14 inches of new precipitation, Phillips said.

So far this month, Lawrence has seen more than 6 inches of rain, Phillips said. That’s well over the 2 inches of rain the area typically sees between July 1 and 15.

“We’re about 4.5 inches above what we would normally have,” Phillips said.

This Year’s Douglas County Fair will be held from July 24-Aug. 2 at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.

DOUGLAS COUNTY

FAIR PLAY: NEW THEME, EVENTS THIS YEAR

By Joanna Hlavacek Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna

The Douglas County Fair may just be one of the summer’s biggest attractions — in recent years, it’s drawn upward of 25,000 people to the fairgrounds in Lawrence — but back in the early 1950s, the fair was just a fledgling operation hosted at Haskell University.

Back then, before the fairgrounds were built, 4-H animals were all housed underneath the school’s football stadium. Or at least that’s what Margaret Kalb’s mother told her growing up.

“She used to talk about that all the time,” Kalb says with a laugh, recalling childhood memories of showing everything from chickens to sheep to cattle with her local 4-H club.

Kalb, who now serves as the executive secretary of the Douglas County Fair Board, says the event

has become widely known as one of the largest and most varied of its kind in the state.

To honor that legacy, Kalb and her fellow board members are launching a new logo and slogan that she says they’ll use for this fair — slated for July 24 to Aug. 2 — and many more to come.

Under the banner of “One Great County — One Great Fair,” festivities kick off Saturday with a 4-H dog show and pet show at the fairgrounds.

“We’re all pretty proud of this county and the support we get from everyone throughout the county,” Kalb says. “We thought that tied everything together and represents what we want the fair to be.”

This year’s schedule offers a little something for everyone, though Kalb says the annual demolition derby is the long-established crowd-pleaser.

She’s hoping to attract between

4,000 and 5,000 people to the fairground’s rodeo arena the night of July 31, when drivers in colorful, often creatively named cars smash into each other for cash prizes.

Between rounds, children ages 2 to 11 will have the chance to compete in a kid-friendly version called the Power Wheels Derby.

For yet another dose of vehicular anarchy, check out the secondannual Mowbashers on Aug. 1 at the fairground’s rodeo arena. In the tradition of the long-standing demolition derby, riders atop riding lawn mowers will battle it out until only one Mowbasher remains.

Moore’s Greater Shows Carnival will have a variety of rides — for both thrill-seekers and the littlest fairgoers — on hand every evening from July 29 to Aug. 1. Individual rides cost tickets, but bracelets for unlimited rides will be available for purchase during Family Night from 6 to 11 p.m. July 30.

All other attractions — including live music from local groups Arnie Johnson and the Midnight Special, Loozin Sleep, SELLOUT and the James Webster Band — are free, says Kalb, who admits she’s partial to the livestock events.

The 4-H veteran served as community leader of a local 4-H club while her children were young. She plans to attend as many 4-H events as possible when the fair starts up later this month.

“All those kids who were in my club years ago — I still call them ‘my kids,’” she says. “I watched them grow up, and now their kids are in 4-H, too. It’s been really cool to see.”

New attractions to greet Leavenworth County fairgoers

By Shawn F. Linenberger slinenberger@theworldco.info

The Leavenworth County Fair will be swinging into Tonganoxie later this month with some new attractions.

Returning are the mainstays: the parade at 6:30 p.m. and the draft horse pull at 8 p.m. July 28. The parade will roll through downtown Tonganoxie along Fourth Street, while the draft horse pull will take place at the Leavenworth County Fairgrounds grandstand.

The biggest change will be the bull bash, which starts at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 1 at the grandstand.

That time slot historically has gone to a demolition derby, but the fair board decided to change gears this year with the bash, which will be a series of bull rides.

“We just decided to do something different this year,” said Mike Johnson, fair board president. “The derby had just run its course.

It became harder to find drivers.”

He added that rodeo events always are popular, so the bull riding night was a natural choice.

The fair board also hopes some laughs will draw crowds to the fairgrounds as well.

A comedy show starts at 7 p.m. July 30 under the big top tent. It’s the first year for a comedy show at the Leavenworth County Fair.

The annual event dates back to the 1920s when crop exhibits were the main draw.

That continues today with livestock, produce, photography, artwork and other ex-

Wyandotte County adds go kart racing to roster of events

By Caroline Boyer cboyer@theworldco.info

As the Wyandotte County Fair continues to rebuild and familiarize attendees with its “new” fairgrounds, it is adding a new feature that it hopes will serve to do both.

Organized by Jim Knetter, chairman of the fair board, this year the fair will debut go kart racing on a new go kart track. The fair also will provide the usual 4-H displays, carnival and other fun events like concerts and hot air balloon rides from Tuesday, July 21, through Saturday, July 25, at its fairgrounds in the county’s extreme northwest corner, 13700 Polfer Road.

Knetter said he knew there had been a go kart track in Wyandotte County, but as it has closed, he thought the fairgrounds might be a good option for a track.

“It was another thing that we could maybe have in the future on a weekly basis instead of just having it at the

File Photo

fair,” he said.

Located in the same area where the fair has held demolition derbies in the past, Knetter said he began building the track in February and has been finding connections with go-karting groups in the area who plan to attend the race. The Go Kart Races will take place on Friday at this year’s fair, with practice runs beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Amy Crouse, organizing committee member, said the fair continues to spread awareness about the new fairgrounds since the old grounds, now the home of Schlitterbahn Waterpark, closed in 2009. The fair began at the current location in 2011.

“A lot of people don’t even know that we’re up here, and a lot of people thought that

when the old fairgrounds went away that the fair went away,” Crouse said.

This year, 4-H events begin Saturday through Monday.

4-H and open class project displays and animals will remain throughout the week as usual — but don’t expect to see any chickens. An outbreak of the avian flu means that no poultry will be shown at county fairs this year. Instead, the fair will offer “boneless poultry” with art displays of 4-H poultry projects.

The fair opens to the public on Tuesday, 5 to 11 p.m., with the petting zoo, carnival, pig races and pony rides all returning. There also will be free magic shows at 6:30 and 8 p.m.

Tuesday through Thursday, and at 7 and 8:30 p.m. Friday.

Other special events include a pie contest on Tuesday, with entries from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and judging at 5 p.m. and a free concert at 7 p.m. in the arena with the Back Road Express, an oldtime country band.

Wednesday is Day Care day from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

There will be a free performance by Basehor-Linwood High School’s Adam Crouse and Tyler Miller as the Treble Kids, 7-8 p.m., and a free concert by rock cover band Crabalocker, 8-10 p.m.

There also will be tethered Hot Air Balloon rides, weather permitting, from 6:30 p.m. to dusk on Wednesday.

Helicopter rides will be offered from 4 to 11 p.m. Thursday and Friday and noon-11 p.m. Saturday, charging $40 per rider for two to three riders at one time.

On Thursday, the Renegade Pullers, a garden tractor pull, will put on a show 6:30 p.m. in the arena. In the free tent is a Battle of the Bands with performers from area high schools.

On Saturday, the Midwest Mud Boggers Mud Run take over the arena at 6 p.m. The Prairie Praise Band performs from 5-6:30 in the free tent and then the Back Road Express from 7 to 11 p.m.

Nail-biting suspense, largerthan-life personalities and wry British humor are coming to the stage as the Kansas Repertory Theatre kicks off its second season with a production of “Sherlock’s Last Case” on Friday evening at Kansas University’s Murphy Hall.

The modern riff on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s detective tales will be performed in rotation with Agatha Christie’s “The Mousetrap” throughout this month and into early August.

While set in wildly different periods, the plays have much in common. And in keeping with repertory fashion, they’ll also share a cast in KRT’s productions, which debuted last summer as the Kansas Classical Repertory Theatre.

Penned by Charles Marowitz nearly 80 years after the last Sherlock Holmes story was published, “Sherlock’s Last Case” picks up where Doyle’s series left off.

It’s a respectful tribute to the classic tales, says director D. Scott Glasser, but it also pokes fun at the “fascinating and impossible” detective. “‘Sherlock’s Last Case’ is a take on very eccentric characters and the class distinctions among them,” says Glasser, who teaches theater at the University of Nebraska-Omaha. “The language has a life of its own. The actors speak like they’re inside a Sherlock Holmes tale.”

The mystery centers on a death threat against Holmes by the supposed son of his late nemesis Professor Moriarty, who fell to his death during a fight with

Holmes at Reichenbach Falls in “The Final Problem.”

Glasser says the play — which also features familiar characters such as sidekick Dr. Watson, landlady Mrs. Hudson and Inspector Lestrade — should entertain fans of the book with its self-referential humor.

For KRT’s production, the audience will be seated on stage at the Crafton-Preyer Theatre (the term for this, proscenium, originates in ancient Greece and Rome), which Glasser says “creates a very intimate space” of about 120 seats.

“The Mousetrap,” which debuts July 24, is the longest-running play in history. Since its London premiere in 1952, the Agatha Christie murder mystery has been staged over 25,000 times.

Set in the years immediately following WWII, the play opens on a group of eight strangers snowbound in a London boarding house who are left to solve a brutal murder before the killer

— who could be one of them — strikes again.

It’s now regarded as a “classic” of the genre — a title that’s well-deserved, says Doug Weaver, who’s directing the KRT production.

“I’m pretty sure that in the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s, you couldn’t talk to anyone who went to the theater who hadn’t seen it,” Weaver said.

Throughout the play’s 60year run, theatergoers have been asked not to reveal its famous twist ending. Weaver says he’s planning to carry on the tradition with his staging, which he thinks will retain its mystery since “The Mousetrap” isn’t quite as prevalent in pop culture as it was during its heyday.

Weaver, a longtime Christie fan, first saw the play about a decade ago while his wife was starring in a Kansas City production. He remembers discussing the twist ending with her afterward, but otherwise made a point not to blab.

“You feel like once you’ve seen the show, you’re part of a special club,” Weaver says. “I think that’s something audiences will be really excited about — being the keeper of the secret until the next group gets to see it.”

Building ambition The fundraising success of KU’s business school is worth recognition.

It’s good news to hear that fundraising for Capitol Federal Hall is 94 percent complete.

Capitol Federal Hall will house Kansas University’s new School of Business on Naismith Drive. The new building is Kansas University’s most ambitious academic building project ever, and so far, fundraising for the project has gone exceedingly well. KU Endowment announced last week that all but $3.4 million of the $60.5 million goal has been raised. The total project cost is $70.5 million, with private funding paying for construction and KU contributing $10 million to prepare the site, provide utilities to the building and furnish it.

The 166,500-square-foot Capitol Federal Hall will be four stories high. The building will include a large center atrium for gathering and a 350-seat auditorium for classes and events. Work is progressing on the building and construction is expected to be complete next spring. Classes are to start in the new building in the fall of 2016.

To date, most of the fundraising has focused on larger corporate donors, including the lead gift for the building, $20 million from the Capitol Federal Foundation. A gift from Koch Industries is being developed, Endowment President Dale Seuferling said.

The endowment also plans to reach out to alumni for smaller donations to help complete the fundraising campaign, Seuferling said.

KU already ranks among the top public university business schools in the country.

The school counts among its alumni business leaders throughout the country and those alumni recognize the need for KU to have a facility that lives up to the school’s reputation, Seuferling said. The school of business is currently housed in Summerfield Hall, which was built more than 50 years ago.

“You really have a quality program that has outgrown the size of the facility and needs a higher-quality facility with up-todate technology,” Seuferling said last week.

Thanks to the efforts of the endowment and its donors, that higher quality facility is less than a year away. That’s great news, not only for those associated with the business school, but also for everyone associated with Kansas University.

Greek deal and power in Europe Washington — When the financial details are stripped away, the Greek bailout deal reached early Monday is really a reassertion of the core idea of post-war Europe — which is that France and Germany will stick together.

The bailout terms are complicated, and they reflect compromises that will anger hard-liners both in Greece, who will see the deal as a diktat by creditors, and in Northern Europe, where many will see it as a capitulation to profligate debtors in Athens.

But the north-south debate misses the essential alignment, which is Paris-Berlin.

During the bailout crisis, Europe walked to the brink — not just in terms of a weak Greece exiting the eurozone, but of a strong Germany decoupling from its partners.

With Monday’s deal, the core of Europe reaffirmed its partnership, regardless of what happens in the small peripheral country of Greece.

The agreement must be endorsed this week by the parliaments in Greece and Germany, the two countries that were locked in public confrontation. That’s a good thing, for it will give the agreement the kind of public affirmation that has been too rare in modern Europe. “This was an inflection point for the eurozone,” said Peter Wittig, Germany’s ambassador to Washington, in an interview

Monday afternoon. He argued that while Greeks may complain that the deal is being imposed on them, it represents a German reaffirmation of solidarity with Greece — and with the larger idea of a unified Europe that the euro represents.

The Greeks had hoped that their European partners could be intimidated into making financial concessions by fear of the financial contagion that might follow a Greek bankruptcy and exit from the common currency. But it turned out that the deeper concern for Germany and its partners was what might be called “concessions contagion” — the prospect that if the eurozone caved to Prime

Greece. The Germans even floated a paper calling for a “temporary” suspension of Greece’s membership in the euro. This put Merkel on a collision course with French President Francois Hollande, who had insisted that Europe (and its currency) must stay together in the crisis, even if that meant extending new assistance to Greece.

The subtext in this discussion, for months, has been whether a strong Germany will remain anchored with its weaker partners. It’s easy to forget that the euro emerged in the aftermath of German reunification in 1990 — a moment that frightened France and many other nations that were scarred by two wars with a big, powerful German state. The euro represented a promise by Germany that its future was embedded with its European partners, to the point that Germans were agreeing to give up their beloved Deutschmark in favor of a common currency.

French-German reconciliation and solidarity gave birth to modern Europe, and this was the hidden but decisive factor in the Greek bailout negotiations. The key to compromise in the marathon, 17-hour talks that led to Monday’s deal was the decision of Merkel and Hollande to stand together.

The rest was fine print.

Minister Alexis Tsipras, other weak indebted countries that had made reforms — such as Spain, Portugal, Ireland and Cyprus — would feel they had been suckered. The only way to avoid this form of contagion was to take a hard line with Greece.

A statement issued Monday in Brussels after the eurozone summit said that “nominal haircuts on the debt cannot be undertaken.” But the previous paragraph effectively says the opposite: “The Eurogroup stands ready to consider, if necessary, possible additional measures (possible longer grace and payment periods) aiming at ensuring that gross financing needs remain at a sustainable level.”

Germany also appears to have conceded, at last, that austerity by itself won’t produce economic growth. The bailout plan calls for a 50 billion euro trust fund (financed by the sale of Greek government assets) that can be used for investments, as well as a 35 billion euro commitment to growth and investment spending, plus a still-vague pledge of 300 billion euros for long-term public and private investment.

The moment of truth in the Greek crisis came when German Chancellor Angela Merkel indicated that she might prefer a “Grexit,” as it came to be known, over more concessions to an insolvent

Obama must clear hurdles on Iran Long after Barack Obama has left office, the newly minted nuclear agreement with Iran will stand as one of the defining moments of his presidency, along with such successes as the Affordable Care Act and unsolved problems including the rise of terrorist threats after the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq.

The agreement will ultimately be judged by whether it halts Iran’s nuclear ambitions and perhaps improves broader U.S. relations with Tehran. But its immediate success will depend on Obama’s ability to manage the political fallout to ensure American acceptance.

The president got off to a strong start Tuesday morning with a comprehensive 14-minute statement countering major opposition arguments. He said, “This deal meets every single one of the bottom lines that we established,” and he warned that “no deal means no lasting constraints on Iran’s nuclear program.”

But his words won’t forestall a bitter battle in the two months Congress set for review. Republican congressional leaders and presidential hopefuls were almost unanimously critical, as was Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, their close ally. Democratic leaders backed Obama, but others expressed concerns.

Obama said he would veto any congressional effort to scuttle the agreement, meaning opponents would need two-thirds of

both houses to block it. That may be difficult, since it requires a significant number of Democrats.

Over the coming months, three key questions will be crucial: Can experts make the case that the agreement will achieve its goal of preventing Iranian development of a nuclear weapon for at least a decade?

Critics have long had questions about the degree to which Iranians would have to dismantle their nuclear program, the extent of international inspections to ensure compliance, the timetable for dismantling economic sanctions and the future of the international arms embargo on Iran.

Obama said Iran must reduce its nuclear stockpile “to a fraction of what would be required for a single weapon.” Under the plan, international inspectors will have “24/7 access to Iran’s key nuclear facilities,” sanctions relief will be phased in “as Iran takes steps to implement this deal,” and Iran must show compliance before embargoes are lifted, in five years for conventional arms and eight for missiles,

MEDICAID AT 50: CONTROVERSIES LEAVE MILLIONS STILL UNINSURED

Poll: Case closed on Obamacare, gay marriage Susan Page and Erin Raftery USA TODAY

In the wake of last month’s historic Supreme Court decisions, most Americans say it’s time for opponents to end their efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act and to block samesex marriages, a USA TODAY/ Suffolk University Poll finds.

Republican voters are inclined to remain defiant, however, especially on the health law called Obamacare. That could create complications for GOP presidential contenders trying to navigate the primaries and keep an eye on the general election.

WASHINGTON

WHAT’S HAPPENING

ONLINE

TODAY’S MUST-READS

When it comes to their vote in 2016, Americans say they will be more focused on such issues as immigration, economic inequality and the battle against the Islamic State terror group.

“If they try to repeal (Obamacare), they’re going to have a lot of angry people in this country who haven’t had health coverage and are now receiving” it, says Connie McKinley, 62, of Sacramento, a Hillary Clinton supporter who was among those surveyed. She says the validity of same-sex marriages has been settled, “so why sit there and hammer away?”

“They should keep fighting it,” counters Loraine Navis, 85, of

Caldwell, Idaho, who supports Republican Donald Trump.

By 52%-36%, those polled say officials who oppose the Affordable Care Act should take steps to improve the law but end efforts to repeal it, given the high court’s decision rejecting its most serious legal challenge. Republicans by 63%-27% say the campaign to overturn the law should continue.

On same-sex marriage, Americans by 51%-33% say local and state officials should allow gay couples to wed in their jurisdictions even if they oppose gay marriage. Republicans tend to disagree: 49% say officials who oppose same-sex unions should resist the court’s ruling and block

them, while 38% say they should allow them to take place.

One particular issue continues to follow Hillary Clinton. In an almost perfect divide, 48%-47%, those surveyed split over whether it matters to their vote that she used a private email server while she was secretary of State.

Still, Clinton holds a muscular lead in the contest for the Democratic nomination: 59% of Democrats support her; 14% back Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

The poll of 1,000 adults, taken Thursday through Sunday, has a margin of error of +/-3 percentage points. The error margin for the sample of 349 Republicans is +/-5.25 points.

Anti-austerity protesters clash with riot police in front of Greece’s parliament building Wednesday in Athens.

Eleventh-hour deal passes overwhelmingly Dani Vergou and Eric J. Lyman Special for USA TODAY

ATHENS After anti-austerity protesters clashed with police nearby, Greece’s parliament early Thursday accepted harsh terms demanded by creditors to receive nearly $100 billion in the country’s third bailout in five years.

The measure passed 229-64, despite three dozen defections from Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’ ruling Syriza party.

The vote — cast about two hours after Wednesday’s midnight deadline — will allow Athens to receive a financial lifeline from its international creditors, but comes at a cost of higher taxes, deep cuts in pensions and other government benefits and the sale of most state assets.

The measure was approved after at least 10 protests and a strike crippled the Greek capital Wednesday as protesters called for Athens to reject the new rescue package or try to renegotiate

Protesters line up as lawmakers inside Greece’s parliament began debating deeply unpopular policy changes. better terms from such creditors as the European Central Bank, eurozone governments and the International Monetary Fund.

Clashes erupted outside the parliament building as lawmakers started to debate the measure late Wednesday. Anti-authoritarian protesters tossed Molotov cocktails at police, who responded with tear gas. More than 15,000 demonstrators attended the rally at Syntagma Square, where only a minority of the large group participated in the brawl.

About 40 protesters were de-

tained by police, and the clashes died down after debate got underway inside, but not before demonstrators set fire to garbage cans and damaged parked cars.

Tsipras’ lobbied hard for passage as the only recourse to save Greece from an economic meltdown, even though a majority of his Syriza party came out against the bailout plan Wednesday. His leftist party was elected in January on a promise to oppose further austerity measures, but European government creditors stuck to their demands, and Tsi-

pras said he had to capitulate.

Tsipras told parliament before the vote his options “during the 17-hour hard negotiations were specific: One was to accept an agreement with which I largely disagree or a disorderly default.”

The onerous bailout measure was approved Monday by eurozone leaders in Brussels after an all-night negotiating session. Parliament’s passage helps secure Greece’s future in the eurozone, the 19 nations using the euro.

Panagiotis Lafazanis, the Greek energy minister, said Wednesday that even after parliament passes the plan, “the people will never accept it, and they will be united in their fight against it.”

The IMF called for more debt relief for Greece late Tuesday, a move European leaders rejected at their weekend summit. The IMF said the nation needs more time to pay off its massive debts, now exceeding $300 billion, and creditors may need to accept that some of its loans may need to be written off completely because the economically distressed nation has no hope of repaying them. It’s already behind on billions in payments to the IMF. Lyman reported from Rome. Contributing: Kim Hjelmgaard in London.

IRS hangs up on 8.8 million taxpayers; service ‘abysmal’ Scathing annual report sent to Congress Kevin McCoy USA TODAY

IRS service for taxpayers this past tax-filing season wasn’t as bad as predicted — it was worse.

Phone calls dropped by the IRS switchboard rocketed past 8 million compared to about 540,000 in 2014, rates of calls answered fell sharply and the length of time callers spent on hold grew in 2015, according to the annual objectives report to Congress by the National Taxpayer Advocate.

Nina Olson, head of the office created to help taxpayers with IRS problems, likened the findings to Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities, which opens with the famous line, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...”

“For the majority of taxpayers who filed their returns and did not require IRS assistance, the filing season was generally successful,” said Olson. “For the segment of taxpayers who required help from the IRS, the filing season was by far the worst in memory.”

According to the report: uSo-called courtesy disconnects — calls for which the IRS switchboard essentially hangs up

The IRS answered 37% of taxpayer calls sent to customer service personnel.

because it’s overloaded — soared to approximately 8.8 million during the 2015 tax filing season from roughly 544,000 in 2014. uThe IRS answered 37% of taxpayer calls sent to customer service personnel, and the hold

time for those who got through averaged 23 minutes. In 2014, the IRS answered 71% of its calls and hold times averaged 14 minutes. uTaxpayers who sought IRS paper forms and publications also faced frustration, because libraries and post offices didn’t receive the material until Feb. 28, nearly halfway through the filing season.

The results confirmed the

“abysmal” level of taxpayer service that IRS Commissioner John Koskinen acknowledged in a March 31 speech.

Nonetheless, the report said the IRS ran a generally successful filing season under difficult circumstances, processing 126.1 million individual tax returns and issuing 91.8 million refunds while implementing parts of the Affordable Care Act and Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act. Olson attributed the decline in service levels to budget cuts imposed by Congress. IRS funding was cut by more than $1.2 billion between federal fiscal years 2010 and 2015.

MEDICAID TURNS 50

PROGRAM FOR POOR MIRED IN CONTROVERSY LAURA UNGAR, USA TODAY

Timmy Parks, 54, of Clairfield, Tenn., needs surgery and a prosthetic, but he can’t afford it. Tennessee hasn’t expanded Medicaid, so he doesn’t qualify for help.

State borders determine who gets health care benefits, while the battle over expansion continues Jayne O’Donnell and Laura Ungar USA TODAY

“It is a huge expense for states and it doesn’t always function very well. ...

I always thought when health reform came, Medicaid would go away, not get bigger.”

Caroline Brown, a partner in the law firm Covington & Burling, which represents more than a dozen state Medicaid agencies

Tennessee farmer Timmy Parks lives without a prosthetic for his amputated arm and endures chest pain so excruciating he sometimes doesn’t want to eat — all because he has no insurance and no way to pay for health care.

Yet if he lived less than 5 miles away, in Kentucky, he’d qualify for Medicaid, the government program to help the poor.

As Medicaid turns 50 this month, it’s racked with cost overruns, bitter politics and neverending controversies that have left millions of people around the country without health care coverage they desperately need, unable to afford everything from heart surgery to prescriptions to prevent life-threatening seizures.

More than 70 million Americans are benefiting from the program in some way. And millions more began to qualify for coverage in the 29 states that expanded Medicaid since the 2010 passage of the Affordable Care Act. But 19 states refuse to extend benefits to the poorest of the poor, citing lean budgets and competing, high-cost priorities; one is awaiting federal approval; and two are still deciding what to do.

A new report from the Department of Health and Human Services says the numbers regulators used to persuade states to expand Medicaid greatly underestimated how much new enrollees would cost — and that it would be about seven years before the states’ costs would level off or decrease.

“It is a huge expense for states and it doesn’t always function very well because of the way it is financed and administered by both state and federal governments,” says Caroline Brown, a partner in the law firm Covington & Burling, which represents more than a dozen state Medicaid agencies. “I always thought when health reform came, Medicaid would go away, not get bigger.”

A CASE STUDY ACROSS STATE LINES

The human toll is clear in rural towns like impoverished Clairfield, Tenn. It’s less than a fiveminute walk from the border of Kentucky, which, unlike Tennessee, has expanded Medicaid.

Parks is a fourth-generation farmer. He got the last of four heart stents 13 years ago but hasn’t had them checked since because he can’t afford it. He also hasn’t gotten recommended surgery for blocked arteries.

Last year, while helping a friend drill a hole, Parks hit a rock, twisting his arm. He suffered a heart attack on the way to the hospital and was transferred to another, where doctors amputated his arm. He is already facing

Vaughn Adams, whose respiratory problems forced him to give up preaching, is a Maryland Medicaid recipient. “If it had not been for Medicaid, the costs would have drowned me,” says Adams, who now lives with his sister.

SOME KEY ISSUES

JAYNE O’DONNELL, USA TODAY

$90,000 in medical bills he can’t pay, has sold off most of the animals on his 12-acre farm and borrows heart pills from his brother because he can’t pay for his own.

President Obama visited Tennessee this month on a campaign to get more states to expand Medicaid. Republican Gov. Bill Haslam rejected the Obamacare model of expansion, instead proposing Insure Tennessee, which included financial incentives and disincentives to encourage healthy behaviors. But after a conservative group backed by the billionaire Koch Brothers waged an aggressive campaign against the plan, a state Senate committee blocked it from going forward.

DOCTORS BALK AT MEDICAID PAY

Opponents of expanding Medicaid say the program is too flawed to solve many health care problems. Avik Roy, a former health care adviser to presidential candidate Mitt Romney, says the poor deserve the same insurance plans on state and federal exchanges that everyone else can get.

Researchers say patients often

Deborah Figueroa of Savannah, Ga., was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis five years ago and couldn’t afford her medication because she has to pay out of pocket for medication and doctor visits.

(Georgia did not expand Medicaid.)

USA TODAY reporters examined the experiences of nine states, interviewed two dozen impoverished Americans and talked to dozens of health care experts, state officials and community leaders — finding that a law meant to erase inequities has actually deepened them. Contributing to confusion and political infighting. uCosts are spiraling out of control. Medicaid consumed nearly a quarter of state spending even before the ACA, rivaling schools and transportation outlays.

And states soon will have to shoulder 10% of the cost of expanding the program. uPatients in some places get limited health coverage — or none at all.

Some opponents of Medicaid expansion say the poor still manage to find care — especially if they are seriously ill. But while some get help at free or low-cost clinics and emergency rooms, many uninsured Americans with potentially deadly illnesses can't pay for even inexpensive care and are completely shut out from pricey specialists, tests and medications. uPolitical entrenchment has increased. In states like Tennessee and Virginia, politicians still refuse to expand the program. Right after the Supreme Court upheld subsidies for insurance plans on the federal health care exchange, President Obama brought the fight back to getting states to sign on as originally envisioned. But those who question the wisdom of Medicaid expansion cite everything from its high cost to the way it operates.

can’t get in quickly — if at all — to see doctors who accept Medicaid.

A Kaiser Family Foundation report in June found that only half of primary care doctors accept Medicaid, the same percentage as before the ACA. Low reimbursement rates are a key factor along with a family doctor shorage.

“Coverage doesn’t mean they get care when they need it,” says Roy, who is now with the Manhattan Institute.

Keeping state costs under control is another struggle.

Health care costs of newly eligible Medicaid recipients last year were 19% higher than those already in Medicaid, the HHS actuary’s report out last week estimated. Previous HHS reports had estimated they would be 1% lower. The report predicted that costs covered by states will be the same or lower than previously predicted by 2022.

In non-expansion state Virginia, Republican State Rep. Rob Bloxom says, “it’s the cost overruns that aren’t being talked about.” He was interviewed at his auto parts store about 10 miles from the border of Maryland, where the poorest residents can get free health care because of Medicaid expansion.

Without Medicaid, Vaughn Adams of Salisbury, Md., says he wouldn’t be able to get the care he’s getting for two lung diseases, because “the costs would have drowned me,” he says.

HHS has “worked actively with states with leaders of all political persuasions” to come up with solutions, says Vikki Wachino, deputy chief of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Terry England, a Republican who chairs the Georgia House budget committee, says a flexible version of Medicaid expansion might have passed the state’s Legislature earlier in the process.

And he thinks most low-income people manage to get health care.

He could be talking about Deborah Figueroa of Savannah, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis five years ago. She’s been getting some of her prescriptions free but has to pay for the rest and all of her doctor appointments out of pocket.

She can’t afford to get the recommended MRI to see whether the disease has worsened.

“I worked for many years and paid my taxes and now that I need proper medical help, I can’t get it,” Figueroa says.

MANHUNT

Sorry, ‘Chapo,’ $3.8M is peanuts

EBOLA RE-EMERGES IN LIBERIA Gregg Zoroya and Samwar Fallah USA TODAY

MONROVIA , LIBERIA

Six cases of Ebola have surfaced in Liberia in the two months since the nation was declared free of the deadly virus, raising fears the disease lingers in the human body in ways not fully understood.

Three of those cases were in the past week, doubling the number of new infections since the virus re-emerged in late June, the World Health Organization (WHO) said Wednesday.

The newest case occurred in a suburb of Monrovia, the capital city devastated at the peak of last fall’s epidemic by scores of new Ebola infections each week.

The new patient was a nurse who died Sunday on arrival at an Ebola treatment clinic, according to the United Nations and the Liberian government. She had been caring for her son, who became infected in a remote village and fled to the capital.

Government health officials are ramping up responses in Monrovia, tracking more than 140 people exposed to the virus, including 16 placed under quarantine. “We have asked all county health officers to be on the alert,” said Francis Kateh, Liberia’s chief medical officer.

The six new infections since June 21 include two deaths.

The disease persists in neighboring Sierra Leone and Guinea, where a few dozen cases are reported each week, the WHO said.

AHMED JALLANZO, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

Liberians read a story about Ebola on a public chalkboard in Monrovia, Liberia, on Friday. Liberia has had six new cases.

The WHO declared Liberia Ebola-free on May 9 because 42 days had passed — twice the 21day period of incubation for the virus — since a previous infection.

Stuart Nichol, head of the Viral Special Pathogens Branch of the

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said one possible explanation for the virus staying alive in survivors is that it may harbor in male testes.

NASA RELEASES DETAILED IMAGE OF

PLUTO’S SURFACE Scientists already find surprises from New Horizons data Traci Watson

S

tunning images of Pluto show towering mountain ranges made of ice, hinting that the dwarf planet might harbor geysers or ice volcanoes.

The highly detailed pictures snapped by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft, Pluto’s first Earthly guest, as it flashed by at 30,000 mph Tuesday reached scientists’ hands Wednesday morning.

The scientific discussions over the data were “something close to bedlam,” New Horizons principal investigator Alan Stern of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colo., said Wednesday.

“I don’t think any one of us could imagine that it was this good of a toy store.”

Pluto is officially classified as a dwarf planet, but there’s nothing dwarfish about its mountains, which top out at as high as 11,000 feet, making them comparable to the Rockies. The peaks are sculpted not of the frozen methane and nitrogen that form a thin crust over Pluto’s surface, but of frozen water.

Scientists had always thought that such rugged topography was created by the powerful tug of a gigantic neighboring planet. Pluto has no such gigantic neighbor, so it must be that an icy planet can have lots of geological activity all on its own.

“That’s a really important discovery that we just made this morning,” said New Horizons scientist John Spencer, also of the

Pluto’s biggest moon, Charon, also “just blew our socks off,” said New Horizons scientist Cathy Olkin of the Southwest Research Institute. Charon has terrain as dramatic as anything on Earth, but scientists didn’t find lots of craters, which is what they’d expected to see.

“As we’ve been saying, Pluto did not disappoint,” Olkin said. “I can add that Charon did not disappoint either.”

IN BRIEF EX-AUSCHWITZ GUARD, 94, RECEIVES 4-YEAR SENTENCE

Seventy years after the end of World War II, a guard who worked at the Auschwitz concentration camp was convicted in Germany on Wednesday on 300,000 counts of accessory to murder and given a four-year prison sentence.

Oskar Groening, 94, nicknamed the “Bookkeeper of Auschwitz,” may be one of the last people to face trial in Germany for Nazi-era crimes. He trained as a bank clerk before joining Germany’s SS military unit as a soldier.

A judge in the northern German city of Lueneburg convicted Groening for his role at the camp following testimony that he presided over prisoners’ belongings and collected their money before they were marched to their death in gas chambers.

Mexican drug lord ranks low among world’s evildoers Matthew Diebel USA TODAY

Sorry, “El Chapo,” you don’t measure up.

No, not because you are somewhat vertically challenged (“El Chapo” means “Shorty” in Spanish). Rather, it’s because the price on your head, $3.8 million, is peanuts compared with the rewards offered for many global fugitives.

Apologies again, Señor Guzman: Just because you have been named “Public Enemy No. 1” AFP/GETTY IMAGES by the Chicago Drug kingpin Crime ComJoaquin “El that Chapo” Guzman mission, doesn’t make you the same around the world.

The moniker, only given one time before — to Al Capone — is reserved for those whose crimes affect people in the Windy City.

The commission gave you the title for the havoc wreaked by your cartel, suspected of controlling half the drug trafficking in Chicago.

“El Chapo” is drug lord Joaquin Guzman, whose elaborate escape from a Mexican prison Saturday sparked a worldwide search and that multimillion-dollar bounty from the Mexican government.

A prison video released by authorities shows Guzman escaping through a breach in his shower wall.

It’s his second big jailbreak — in 2001, Guzman spent about $2.5 million in bribes and other costs to escape a different prison.

That is small change for the leader of an international drug ring that probably nets $10 million a year in Chicago alone, according to Art Bilek of the Crime Commission.

Where does Guzman stand on the world list of kingpins, criminals, terrorists and just-plain villains?

Pretty low, according to Rewards for Justice (RFJ), a U.S. agency that offers bounties for the capture of terrorists around the world. In fact, he would just squeak into the agency’s fourth category, those for whom a reward of up to $5 million is offered (the fifth category is for those with up to $3 million on their heads).

Topping the list is Ayman alZawahri, the most-wanted terrorist in the world, who is suspected of being the leader of al-Qaeda and for whom the government will pay “up to $25 million.”

In the second category, “Up to $10 Million Reward,” are a rogues’ gallery of five men. No. 1 is Abu Du’a, aka Abu Bakr alBaghdadi, the senior leader of the Islamic State, according to RFJ. Du’a “is in charge of overseeing all operations and is currently based in Syria,” RFJ says.

Controversial Jade Helm military exercise opens Doug Stanglin and Kyle Jahner

SOUTH DAKOTA Rapid City: A hailstorm that dropped as much as 4 inches of slippery pellets on U.S. Highway 16 south here prompted officials to call out snowplows, the Rapid City Journal reported.

USA TODAY and Army Times

Operation Jade Helm 15, the summer-long U.S. military training exercise in the Southwest that has stirred conspiracy theories of imminent martial law, kicked off Wednesday in Texas.

The operation, involving 1,200 servicemembers and including special operations troops from all four branches, Marine expeditionary forces and the 82nd Airborne Division, is being conducted largely on private property.

The overall exercise will take place across Texas, Arizona, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Utah and New Mexico.

The conspiracy theories began emerging in March and burst out publicly at local gatherings of the Bastrop County Commissioners court, where U.S. officials were bombarded with questions about the operation’s true purpose.

Fringe websites quickly suggested it was designed to lay the groundwork for martial law, a federal takeover of Texas — even the wholesale confiscation of guns.

In March, TV and radio commentator Alex Jones fed some of the conspiracy anxiety by posting an item on his website, Infowars, under the headline

TENNESSEE Memphis: Marshay Frenard, 25, was accused of starting a fire at his ex-girlfriend’s home by dousing a teddy bear with lighter fluid and threatening the woman’s family, The Commercial Appeal reported.

82nd Airborne Division troops are likely to participate in the Operation Jade Helm 15 training exercise. “feds preparing to invade Texas” based on an unclassified Army document describing Operation Jade Helm.

In a recent posting, Jones denied that he had said the exercises were part of a martial law takeover.

Instead, Jones says he is on the offensive, “aware of what is going on, aware this is part of the conditioning, long-term program of federalization.”

As the clamor increased, Gov. Gregg Abbott weighed in, tapping the Texas State Guard, which is normally used in emergencies or for ceremonial duty, to monitor Operation

Jade Helm 15 to reassure Texans that “their safety, constitutional rights, private property rights and civil liberties will not be infringed.”

About four to five members of the Texas State Guard will act as a liaison for citizens and coordinate with the Army from Camp Mabry, headquarters of Texas Military Forces, according to the governor’s office.

The governor’s office also said the state should have no reason to worry or distrust the military and said most communications between the Guard and constituents have dealt with simple logistics.

MONEYLINE CHINA’S MARKET TAKES ANOTHER PLUNGE Chinese stocks fell sharply Wednesday even as growth surpassed Beijing’s expectations.

The Shanghai composite index fell 3% to 3,806.49 despite China’s economy expanding 7% in the April-June quarter, slightly above forecasts. With 701 stocks halted on mainland exchanges and at least 1,240 more falling by the 10% daily limit, sellers were locked out of about 67% of the Chinese market.

Testifies that Fed will still raise them this year, avoids specifics Paul Davidson USA TODAY

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen told Congress on Wednesday that the Fed still plans to begin raising interest rates this year amid an improving economy but that it will likely push them up gradually.

The often-contentious hearing before the House Financial Services Committee repeatedly veered into sharp exchanges about the Fed’s accountability to lawmakers.

On the economy, Yellen said, “Prospects are favorable for further improvement in the U.S. labor market and the economy more broadly.” In her semiannual monetary policy testimony, she

added that the Fed “expects U.S. GDP growth to strengthen over the remainder of this year and the unemployment rate to decline gradually.”

Yellen added that low oil prices and job growth should bolster consumer spending while the negative effects of a strong dollar and low oil prices on exports and business investment diminish.

She didn’t provide more specifics about the timing of the first hike in the Fed’s benchmark rate since 2006, reiterating that it will depend on the progress shown by the economy and labor market.

Many economists expect the Fed to act as early as September; others say the central bank will wait until December or even 2016.

“We have no judgment about the opening date to raise the federal funds rate,” she said. But Yellen acknowledged, “If we wait longer, when we begin to raise rates we might have to do it more rapidly.” She added that the Fed

would prefer “doing it in a deliberate, gradual way. That strikes me as a prudent approach.”

Yellen also faced tough questions from Rep. Sean Duffy, RWis., on an October 2012 Fed leak of its bond-buying plan. He assailed Yellen and the Fed for not

cooperating with a subpoena to turn over documents.

“What is your legal authority that allows you not to comply with a congressional subpoena?” he asked.

Yellen said the Fed has not provided the documents because the matter is being investigated by the Fed’s Inspector General and the Justice Department. “We’ve indicated that we fully intend to comply ... but we are not going to produce them now because the matter is the subject of an open criminal investigation.”

The Fed chair also was grilled

by William Huizenga, R-Mich., who is proposing that the Fed follow a rule as it makes interestrate decisions based on the levels of economic growth and inflation.

Yellen reiterated her view that such a rule would hamstring the central bank.

Yellen is scheduled to testify before the Senate banking committee Thursday.

EGG PRICES BLOW UP Eggs are getting much more expensive — by the dozen and otherwise. The outbreak of avian flu caused the cost of eggs to nearly double last month for producers. Wholesale prices for chicken eggs jumped 84.5% in June, the Labor Department said Wednesday. Wholesale chicken egg prices recorded the largest increase since the government began tracking them in 1937.

NADELLA’S HITS, MISSES AT MICROSOFT Marco della Cava l USA TODAY

With next week’s scheduled earnings release, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella marks the end of his first fiscal year at the reins of the once-monolithic technology company.

Most analysts give him high marks for making the tough decisions (layoffs, executive dismissals) necessary to reposition the 120,000-employee behemoth in an era of nimble startups. Others are skeptical about whether the company can reinvent itself in a cloud- and mobile-first world.

But all observers agree that the coming release of Windows 10 later this month represents a make-or-break opportunity for technological and cultural relevance.

A quick look at some of Nadella’s greatest hits and misses in the past 12 months:

Much is riding on Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella’s decision to offer Windows 10 as a free upgrade.

Currently the company’s stock is at a two-week high.

Shares of retailer Macy’s shot up after activist hedge fund manager Jeff Smith, known for agitating at Yahoo and Darden Restaurants, said the stock is worth closer to $125 a share — or almost double where they had been trading.

Macy’s shares rose $5.28, or 8%, to $72.01 Wednesday. That’s up from $66 before Smith’s presentation Wednesday at the CNBC Institutional Investor Delivering Alpha Conference in Manhattan.

“Macy’s on the surface appears to be fairly valued,” Smith told the audience, gathered at the Pierre Hotel. “But that doesn’t tell the whole story,” he said.

The company could be worth a lot more if the company could unlock value by spinning off its real-estate holdings, including its

Smith, co-founder of the Starboard Value hedge fund, said Ma-

cy’s real estate alone is worth $21 billion. The operating value of the company is worth around $8 billion, giving Macy’s an enterprise value of close to $29 billion, Smith told the crowd.

By contrast, Macy’s had a mar-

ket value of around $24 billion Wednesday, including the stock jump from Smith’s talk.

Smith is known for his activist work at Darden Restaurants, which runs Olive Garden, where he recently took over the board.

He has also been active in Yahoo, where he has pushed for CEO Marissa Mayer to sell off the company’s stake in Chinese retailer Alibaba.

When asked if he plans to go after Yahoo’s board, Smith said he is pleased so far with Mayer’s reaction to his suggestions on the Alibaba spinoff. “We always have the ability to do something next year if they fall down,” he said.

Smith said his conversations with Macy’s suggest the company is open to his suggestions on unlocking the real estate, which could happen by placing the assets in a real-estate investment trust, shares of which would then trade publicly.

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

The corporate earnings reporting season is off to a good start: Three out of four companies are in the Standard & Poor’s 500stock index topping second-quarter forecasts. Banking giant Citigroup, e-commerce player eBay and search engine and online advertising powerhouse Google are set to report Thursday.

Of the 34 companies in the S&P 500 that reported results before Wednesday’s closing bell, 74% have topped expectations and 15% have come up short, according to earnings tracker Thomson Reuters. The early results, which include high-profile “beats” from Bank of America on Wednesday and JPMorgan Chase and drug and consumer products

giant Johnson & Johnson a day earlier, are promising.

The earnings growth rate for the quarter ended in June is now -2.7%, and while still showing contraction vs. the same quarter a year ago, it’s better than the -3% expectation on July 1.

Strong earnings are important for a stock market that is currently trading at more than 17 times estimated 2015 earnings. The S&P 500’s current valuation is modestly higher than 5-day avg.:the histori+X.XX cal long-term average.

Next few weeks should be telling for Netflix Q: Are shares of Netflix overpriced?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Netflix shares have been pushed to nosebleed levels. Even famed investor Carl Icahn sold his stock. Does that mean the stock is overpriced?

Netflix is arguably the momentum stock of the year. Shares of the videostreaming service are up more than 50% this year so far, which puts the Standard & Poor’s 500’s 5% gain to shame. Shares closed at $98.13 a share Wednesday in regular trading. That gain doesn’t even include the fireworks after the market closed after the company blew away earnings forecasts. Netflix reported a quarterly adjusted profit per share of 6 cents a share, beating the forecast by 50%, says S&P Capital IQ. Shares jumped 10% to $108.24.

The question, though, is did you miss the stock if you didn’t own it already?

Analysts seem to think so. Currently, analysts have an 18-month price target on the stock of $92.82 a share, which, if correct, signals the stock is 5.4% ahead of itself. The next few weeks will be telling, as many analysts will likely boost their price targets on the stock following the second-quarter results. But investors need to treat this one with caution. The stock is trading for 177 times trailing earnings. Netflix trades higher than the company’s present value based on expected future cash flows, New Constructs says.

Netflix adds 3 million new subscribers in Q2 Mike Snider @MikeSnider USA TODAY

NETFLIX

The video-streaming service’s earnings per share of 6 cents beat analysts’ estimate of 4 cents. Shares spiked after-hours to $108.10.

Netflix continued its Internet video-streaming dominance by adding more than 3 million new subscribers during the second quarter of 2015.

That growth, which brought Netflix’s subscriber totals to more than 65 million, surpassed its own forecast of 2.5 million new additions, as well as Wall Street expectations.

“We believe the higher-thananticipated level of acquisition

was fueled by the growing strength of our original programming slate,” CEO Reed Hastings said Wednesday in a letter to shareholders.

New series launched in the second quarter included Daredevil and Grace and Frankie; the third season of Orange is the New Black premiered, too.

The Los Gatos, Calif.-based streaming TV provider said its second quarter net income fell 63% to $26 million as costs for acquiring content and marketing expenses rose.

Its earnings per share of 6 cents beat analysts’ estimate of 4

cents. Netflix (NFLX) shares spiked in after-hours trading, up 10.1% to $108.10.

Shares closed down more than 2% to $97.98. The stock set a new closing high of $707.90 on Monday. After the market closed Tuesday, the company executed a 7-for-1 stock split.

The company reported revenue of $1.64 billion, vs. $1.34 billion a year ago. Earnings per share of 6 cents beat FactSet analysts’ expectations of 4 cents. Netflix revenue nearly matched expectations of $1.65 billion.

Many analysts had expected an earnings miss, something that

hasn’t necessarily hurt Netflix in terms of stock performance. Its first-quarter revenue of $1.57 billion with earnings of 38 cents per share missed by far analysts’ expectations of 69 cents per share.

Since then, Netflix shares have risen nearly 50% — and doubled since the beginning of the year.

More than 40% of Internet users are currently subscribed to Netflix, according to research firm eMarketer. Most analysts expect the company to continue its growth in the U.S. and internationally. Netflix subscribers globally should surpass 96 million by 2019, estimates IHS Technology.

Sure, Trainwreck has its knee-slapping moments, like when co-star LeBron James professes his love of Downton Abbey.

But it also is a showcase of a teetering drunk (played by Amy Schumer, who wrote the screenplay), the product of a broken home who is unwilling to form meaningful bonds with the opposite sex. She’s no cute “cool girl” — as described by Gillian Flynn in Gone Girl — but a resilient woman who heedlessly destroys what’s most important to her.

Trainwreck (in theaters Friday) joins a slate of summer productions notable for their depictions of women not as arm candy or accessories, but as multilayered beings with actual issues.

There’s Mad Max: Fury Road, led by one-armed warrior Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron), which has grossed $150 million.

And 11year-old Riley, center, is coping with life changes and roiling emotions after her family relocates in Inside Out.

The female-centric Inside Out ($286 million to date) explores the inner workings of a morose young girl who seeks contentment. “I love that it just stays messy,” says Amy Poehler, voice of the emotion Joy, who loses an internal struggle with Sadness.

In the new cast of the second season of HBO’s True Detective, there’s Antigone Bezzerides (Rachel McAdams), the sharptongued cop who’s fearless and grappling with daddy issues — the show’s first multidimensional lead female character. “You can’t sum her up quickly. She’s trying to be savvy in a fairly male-dominated world,” says McAdams. “It was fun to put less emphasis on the physical appearance.”

Even in the superhero universe, there’s an effort to beef up female characters, as with Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman in next year’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. “We had a very long

conversation of who she is and what she represents,” she says.

It hasn’t gone unnoticed, even in a summer when major blockbusters such as Avengers: Age of Ultron and Jurassic World have been criticized for one-note depictions of women.

“I don’t think we’re seeing as many fully realized female characters on screen as I would like to, but I’m pleasantly surprised by how many we are seeing,” says Graham Moore, Oscar-winning screenwriter of 2014’s The Imitation Game, which featured an ambitious, pragmatic code breaker played by Keira Knightley.

“Female audiences have been conditioned to see stories from the perspective of males and now there seems to be a push to ask males to identify with female protagonists, as they should.”

So are we seeing a sea change, or just isolated examples?

“You do see scattered representations of complex women.

But it’s still pretty low. Male-led films are the rule and female-led films are the exception,” says Michele Schreiber, an associate professor of film and media studies at Emory University.

“We notice it because it’s not the norm. But we need to recognize that there needs to be more and enough so we don’t need to call attention to it anymore.”

While TRUITT Avengers movies tend toward the superfan, Ant-Men appeals to most anybody who can fathom a shrinking man.

Paul Rudd’s Scott Lang is an ex-con who can’t quite get his life right. But he’s got heart and is as Avengers-ready as anyone with a high-tech suit that allows him to size down and commandeer ants.

He isn’t having much luck ditching his life of crime to be a better dad for his little girl (Abby Ryder Fortson), and he ends up stealing the Ant-Man suit from inventor Hank Pym (Michael Douglas). But it’s all part of Hank’s plan: He has been ousted from his tech company by longtime protégé Darren Cross (Corey Stoll), who’s close to

Rudd pulls off all the needed aspects of Ant-Man extraordinarily well for someone better known for his comedy chops than his karate ones: He’s got sarcasm, heroism and gravitas down pat.

Rudd is also a great on-screen match for Douglas, who seems to be having a ball.

Mainstream moviegoers may be surprised how the smallest comic-book superhero can be such a big success in the right hands.

Stuntz: British setting ‘sacred’

Warm welcome

Thanks to Jordan Spieth, many sports fans who only watch golf on TV as a foolproof antidote for insomnia will try not to blink, much less nod off, during coverage of the British Open, which tees off today.

Along the way, viewers will be treated to a history lesson on the Old Course at St. Andrews, one of the world’s oldest golf courses.

Golf was played on the Scottish grounds in the early 1400’s, nearly 600 years before Spieth’s birth.

STAGE WINNER RAFAL MAJKA CLIMBS TOURMALET PASS during Stage 11 of the Tour de France. Majka, of Poland, won the stage Wednesday with a start in Pau and a finish in Cauterets, France.

Majka takes Tour de France stage; Froome keeps yellow jersey Cauterets, France — Rafal Majka led a solo breakaway to win the 11th stage of the Tour de France under a scorching sun on Wednesday, leaving behind a small group of rivals on the hardest climb of Day 2 in the Pyrenees mountains as Chris Froome easily retained the yellow jersey.

The stage victory by Majka, a Pole who won twice on last year’s Tour, provided a lift for a Tinkoff Saxo Bank team whose leader, two-time Tour winner Alberto Contador, has been struggling in this year’s race. Tinkoff Saxo became the seventh squad to win a stage this year in a sign of well-distributed honors in a race otherwise dominated by Froome’s powerful Team Sky. “I like this weather when it’s really hot. Many others suffer, but I prefer this to rain,” Majka said. “I think that to be a climber, you have to be born a climber ... I like long ascents like this.”

The 25-year-old Majka presented little threat to Froome. He had begun the 188-kilometer (117-mile) stage from Pau to Cauterets more than 441⁄2 minutes behind the British race leader. Froome finished more than five minutes back along with the other pre-race favorites.

Majka, who last year took home the polka dot jersey awarded to the race’s best climber, burst out of a breakaway bunch on the way up the Tourmalet pass — the highest and most frequently visited Tour peak in the Pyrenees — and was the first over it. For that achievement, he won a 5,000 euro ($5,500) prize awarded in honor of a former Tour race director.

The day’s results had little impact on the overall standings, a day after a superior Froome impressed his main rivals by winning Stage 10, which featured a tough uphill finish. He leads Tejay van Garderen of the United States, who is second, by 2 minutes, 52 seconds, while Nairo Quintana of Colombia is third, 3:09 back.

Contador is sixth, 4:04 off the Briton’s pace.

Froome’s lead after 10 stages was the biggest at this phase of the race since at least 2006 — the year after Lance Armstrong won his last Tour before his seven titles were stripped for doping throughout his career.

Froome played down talk about the race already being all but over, telling French

HIGH SCHOOLS HUB:

TV before the stage: “A bad day in the mountains, and three minutes can disappear.”

The Briton and his Sky team made sure that Wednesday wouldn’t be that bad day.

Defending Tour champion Vincenzo Nibali trailed more than five minutes behind Majka, like Froome and the other title hopefuls. Showering himself from a water bottle in the heat, Nibali sought to salvage some honor after he all but fell out of contention in Tuesday’s entree into the Pyrenees.

He was briefly at the front of a small lead bunch, before Sky regained control.

Leading Sky’s train was Australia’s Richie Porte, wearing a Cheshire-cat smile as he panted up the climb.

COLLEGES

Sports agent act changed An organization that works to standardize state laws is strengthening an act that bars sports agents from illegally luring college athletes into contracts.

The Uniform Law Commission approved changes to the Uniform Athlete Agents Act during its annual meeting Wednesday in Williamsburg, Virginia. Revisions include a broader definition of who qualifies as an agent and a higher recommended financial penalty for violations.

There also are changes to how agents register with states to comply with the law — including the possible creation of an interstate registration agency — and more notification requirements by agents such as informing schools before contacting athletes or people close to them.

Revision committee chairman Dale G. Higer says commission members will now work to get legislatures in their state to adopt the updated act.

history, and includes $43.5 million guaranteed. Of that, $35 million is guaranteed over the first two seasons.

Had the sides not hammered out a deal Wednesday, Thomas would have played this season on the $12.823 million franchise tag, which still would have been about as much as he’d made in his first five seasons combined.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

MU forward to transfer Columbia, Mo. — Missouri forward Montaque Gill-Caesar is transferring after an injury-interrupted freshman season.

Coach Kim Anderson said Wednesday that the school would help Gill-Caesar, who would have been the school’s top returning scorer (9.1 points per game), in his efforts to relocate once the player completes his academic obligations. The player has not decided where to transfer.

Gill-Caesar scored in double figures in 13 of 27 games. He injured his back against Illinois and missed the first three SEC games, averaging 12.6 points pre-injury and 6.9 points post-injury.

Johnathan Williams III, the top scorer and rebounder last season, has transferred to Gonzaga.

Wyoming rewards coach Laramie, Wyo. — The University of Wyoming has extended basketball coach Larry Shyatt’s contract through April 2020.

Brantley already has undergone surgery for a broken leg and will need further surgery on his left knee in the coming weeks.

He also broke several ribs and has a crack in his shoulder.

“I want them to get as far away (from basketball) as they can,” Self said, noting that “the only individual workouts the next week or so will be Cheick (Diallo), Svi (Mykhailiuk), maybe Carlton (Bragg) and Lagerald (Vick).”

Self introduced newcomer Diallo, 6-9 freshman from Mali, to the fans Wednesday. Diallo and Mykhailiuk couldn’t play in the Games because they are not from the USA. “He’s still going through all the stuff,” Self said of Diallo needing to file paperwork to qualify academically to play this season. “It’s good to have him here. Hopefully that stuff will go well with everything (and he’ll qualify). He’s a great kid and terrific talent. People here will love him.”

massive new deal includes $52.5 million guaranteed, a person familiar with the terms told the Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because terms were not disclosed by the team.

That makes Houston’s contract the richest in franchise history, too.

The only defensive player to sign a larger deal is defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, who agreed to a six-year, $114 million pact with the Miami Dolphins earlier this year.

“In situations like this, you have to have a degree of patience,” Chiefs general manager John Dorsey said. “What’s good is it kicks off a very positive attitude for training camp.”

The big deal is the payoff for a big season: Houston broke Derrick Thomas’s franchise record with 22 sacks. He had four alone in a dynamic season-ending game against San Diego, leaving him a half-sack short of the NFL’s single-season record set by the Giants’ Michael Strahan.

Those gaudy totals sent Houston to his third consecutive Pro Bowl and earned him first-team AllPro honors for the first time in his four-year career.

Still, the sides continued to make slow progress when the Chiefs were forced to use the franchise tag on Houston.

If he signed the tender, he would have played this season on a one-year deal worth about $13.1 million, and they would have been in the same predicament next season.

SCOREBOARD American League

JORDAN SPIETH PLAYS FROM THE ROUGH on the 16th hole during a practice round for the British Open on Wednesday in St. Andrews, Scotland.

All eyes are on Spieth as British Open begins St. Andrews, Scotland (ap) — With a chance to match history at the home of golf, Jordan Spieth is trying to make the British Open feel like just another event.

And that might be as tough as any challenge at St. Andrews.

The press room was at capacity and spilled out the door when he spoke to the media Wednesday for the first time this week, creating an atmosphere normally reserved for Tiger Woods or Rory McIlroy. Fans gathered around a board that listed the practice-round schedule, scanning up and down until they found Spieth.

“Please hold the cameras until after the shot,” caddie Michael Greller told the gallery. The sound of shutters began at the top of his swing, and Spieth could only laugh when he launched his tee shot. “It’s like this on every hole,” he said.

The 21-year-old Texan does not have the aura of Woods.

He does not have the accomplishments of McIlroy.

He still is the main attraction at this British Open, and would be even if McIlroy — the reigning champion and No. 1 in the world — were not out with an ankle injury.

Folks know their history at St. Andrews.

Ben Hogan in 1953 is the only player to capture the Masters, U.S. Open and British Open in the same year. Only three players since then — Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Woods — have ever come to Scotland with hopes of a Grand Slam.

Spieth knows history, too, as much as he’d rath-

er not think about it until he has no choice.

“I like to study the history of golf, and it’s extremely special what this year has brought to our team,” he said. “And to have a chance to do what only one other person in the history of golf has done ... I’m sure embracing that opportunity.

“But by the time I start on Thursday, it won’t be in my head. It’ll be about how can I bring this Open Championship down to just another event, get out there and try and get myself into contention.”

He set out for his final practice round on a cool morning with an overcast sky, occasional rain, and not much wind. There is plenty of talk about how ready Spieth will be for his shot at history. He played two full rounds and 10 holes leading up to the start today. He played the Old Course four years ago on his way to the Walker Cup. Then again, St. Andrews has rarely been this green, this slow, because of recent rain. That takes some of the roll out of the fairway, and with it the unpredictable nature of links golf.

Spieth is the betting favorite, and it didn’t hurt that he won the John Deere Classic on Sunday for his fourth PGA Tour title of the year. Whatever he lost in study by not coming over early, he might have gained in confidence that not much has changed since the U.S. Open.

“Coming over earlier certainly could have helped,” he said. “I just liked the fact that I could go somewhere I could play hard, and possibly win a PGA Tour event in preparation. But certain-

is filled with all sorts of conflicting emotions.

He’s melancholy that such a big part of his life is winding down, yet there’s an immense sense of pride in what he’s accomplished.

He’s realistic that it’s the right time to step away, but he can still flash that ol’ competitive streak when anyone suggests this is nothing more than a nostalgic farewell at the home of golf.

“This is not a ceremony at all,” Watson said Wednesday, his eyes steely and firm. “I’m trying to compete against these players out here.”

Some of them, such as Jordan Spieth, are young enough to be his grandchildren.

Which is why, in all likelihood, the 65-yearold Watson will be play-

ing the British Open for the final time, a five-time champion making one last Watson crossing of the Swilcan Bridge.

“There are some tools missing now, especially distance,” he said. “I need everything to compete against these kids,” pausing for emphasis. “Everything.”

Watson could earn the right to play another five years if he finishes in the top 10 this week, an exception that was hastily added to the Open’s 60-year-old age limit after he nearly became golf’s oldest major champion at Turnberry in 2009. Watson went to the 72nd hole with a one-stroke lead,

ly, more time on this golf course couldn’t ever hurt anybody.”

The jet lag hasn’t been a problem. Besides, Spieth won the Australian Open in late November, flew straight to Dallas, went to Florida the next day for the Hero World Challenge, and beat an 18man field of top 50 players by 10 shots.

But this is a full field, and the oldest championship in golf on the links where it all began.

That one still stings a bit, but Watson doesn’t spend too much time dwelling on the past.

When he does, the mind inevitably drifts to all the good times he had during the past four decades on the links courses of Scotland and England, a brand of golf he initially despised for the inexplicable bounces and the persnickety weather, for a capriciousness that was very much at odds with his desire to be precise in everything he did.

“I fought it. I didn’t particularly like it,” Watson recalled. “In fact, I didn’t like it at all when I first played here at St. Andrews in ’78. I didn’t like the uncertainty of it, didn’t like the luck of the bounce, just didn’t like links golf.”

her to pack up and remove herself and the kids from the home because of James’ behavior. Eventually, she sent her son to live with his father. Then she and James got married.

During the few holiday gatherings I have with my husband’s family, I tolerate James, but otherwise, I have no interaction with him or his wife. I only recently revealed to my husband what James wrote about me in that text. I

Rock parody hits all the wrong notes It’s never good to combine two very stale ideas in the hopes of something fresh. The new comedy “Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll” (9 p.m., FX) stars Denis Leary as Johnny Rock, a very overripe rock ’n’ roll has-been. Or, rather, a never-was.

Johnny and his band, The Heathens, appeared to be on the verge of something big back in the early ’90s, when they broke up acrimoniously, due in large part to his penchant for sleeping with his bandm a t e s ’ wives, fiancees and girlfriends.

Fiftyish and unrepentant in his substance abuse and swagger, Johnny is broke and on the verge of joining a cover band when a fetching young woman enters his life.

Mistaking Gigi (Elizabeth Gillies) for a would-be groupie, he soon learns that she’s his daughter from a long-forgotten fling. If you can’t see this pivotal father-and- child reunion coming from a mile away, you could be as addled as Johnny.

In a twist, Gigi has scads of money and needs nothing from her biological father, except a few new songs for her selffinanced recording session.

It’s hard to tell what is more contrived, Johnny’s ability to reunite The Heathens after decades of bitterness, or the fact that they play perfectly and in tune in their first session. While I guess Gigi is supposed to play Liv Tyler to Leary’s Steven, their recording sessions have all the edge of Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis “rocking out” in 2003’s “Freaky Friday.”

We are so far removed from the heyday of rock ’n’ roll that parodies of aging rock stars have legacies of their own.

“This Is Spinal Tap” (1984) was nearly 10 years old when the faux Heathens called it quits.

“Spinal Tap” and the British comedy series “Absolutely Fabulous” (1992) remain classics because their characters remain over-the-top and ridiculous.

Like Denis Leary’s characters on ABC’s “The Job” and FX’s “Rescue Me,” Johnny is intense and self-destructive, but too shot through with rage and selfpity to capsize into pure farce.

Addicted to drugs and ancient arguments about rock’s “purity,” Johnny continually asks to be indulged and taken seriously. That gets old.

I know James has probably told her all kinds of untrue things about me. I haven’t wanted to upset her by giving her the lowdown on James, but should I? — Hurt and Fed up Dear Hurt: Please don’t.

friend who tripped and fell while recuperating from brain tumor surgery at a cabin retreat.

I had a brain tumor and can tell “Ohio” not to feel guilty.

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been together for 12 years.

We have three children. His mother is still living, and he has one younger brother.

My issue is with this brother, “James.” A few years ago, James cheated on his then-girlfriend, “Sheila,” with whom he has a daughter. Sheila also has a son from a previous relationship that James never cared for.

Sheila once showed me one of James’ text messages referring to me as his brother’s “scumbag wife” and other nasty things, all because I spoke to Sheila when she was hurting.

Sheila took her son to a counselor who told
