A Douglas County judge raised concern this week about unconfirmed reports that Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration is considering policy changes that would prohibit unmarried couples from becoming foster parents.

But officials at the Kansas Department of Children and Families said no such change has yet been proposed, although the agency is conducting a comprehensive review of all the state’s foster care policies.

Judge Peggy Kittel, who handles Child in Need of Care, or CINC, cases in Douglas County, voiced her concerns in a letter Wednesday to the regional director of DCF in Overland Park.

“In the last several weeks, I have heard rumors that DCF is planning to change the criteria (or already has) for persons who seek to become foster parents for children in DCF custody,” Kittel wrote. “Specifically, I have heard that only married couples will be approved to foster children who are in DCF custody.”

Such rumors began circulating among foster care advocates around

Consequently, Asked on the sale saw most of its Massachusetts Street thousands of shoppers in the morning, with crowds thinning out once the heat kicked in, said Sally Zogry, director of Downtown Lawrence Inc. “All in all, it’s been a very smooth sale, but we can’t control the weather; it’s summer in Kansas,” Zogry said, adding that businesses that also offered discounts inside tended to do better than those with only outdoor Richard Sitlington, fare. self-employed, In front of Sunflower Lawrence Outdoor & Bike Shop, “I had a job as a clerk in 804 Massachusetts St., Oklahoma.” backpacks and sleeping bags hung from a tree as people browsed through clothes, shoes and outdoor equipment on the sidewalk, which had been doubled in size by incorporating parking spaces in front of the store.

Lambie took a break from his music from time to time to announce details about sales over a megaphone. Sara Bilhimer, a manager at the outdoor shop, reported that morning sales were right on track with past years.

Sunflower opened at 6 a.m. to a waiting crowd of a couple dozen people, Bilhimer said.

“It’s the biggest sales day of the year for us,” she said. “That includes Christmas and Black Friday.”

Meredith Chapple, of Lawrence, was shopping the sale for her first time and by 9 a.m. said she had stopped by about five stores. She leaned against a storefront with a couple of bags at her feet as she listened to a man playing a banjo nearby.

“It’s really lively and entertaining,” she said, pointing to the nonprofit stands giving away free merchandise as well as to the musicians along Massachusetts Street.

In addition to nonprofit stands, such as Douglas

County CASA, Kansas Public Radio and the Sunrise Project, pop-up food vendors added to the options for shoppers. At the US Bank Plaza at the corner of Ninth and Massachusetts streets, shoppers grabbed a bite at the La Familia stand, which sold breakfast burritos and tacos.

Among those stopping for breakfast was Megan Griggs, who has been a Downtown Lawrence Inc. volunteer for the sale for the past three years.

Griggs said she arrived downtown about 4:45 a.m. to find that some stores already had lines dozens of people long.

“I do notice every year people tend to get here earlier and earlier,” she said.

That was certainly the case at Arizona Trading Co., 736 Massachusetts St., which had a “fill a bag for $5” sale. Lindsay Schell, supervisor at Arizona, said the store opened a few minutes earlier than its planned time of 6 a.m. because people were waiting outside.

That’s the one thing about law enforcement: You never know what your job duties might entail each day. I guess one deputy can add “snake wrangler” to his or her resume now.

Another terrifying animal experience this week didn’t have such a light-hearted resolution.

“It’s been really steady,” she said of the flow of shoppers.

But by afternoon, the clouds had gone, making way for temperatures in the mid-90s with a heat index around 105 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.

Offers of respite from the heat became increasingly popular — including five indoor cooling stations with free water, nonprofits handing out paper fans and food vendors selling frozen treats.

Honey Bear Fruit Pops opened up around noon at the corner of Eighth and Massachusetts streets, selling homemade popsicles.

“Once people start seeing popsicles, they seek us out,” said Teri Grunthaner, co-owner of Honey Bear, which uses local produce to create flavors such as blackberry rose and cucumber lemon mint.

The sale went until sundown, and Zogry said she expected another wave of shoppers in the early evening, once people were off work and the temperature started to go down. Despite the July heat, Zogry said, it’s an engaging community gathering.

“Overall, part of what’s fun about it is seeing folks you haven’t seen for a while,” she said.

The boxer-pit bull mix escaped as one of its owners was “possibly putting the animal into a vehicle,” McKinley said. The woman sustained “significant injuries to her arm and head,” McKinley said, and

was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital for treatment. She was later released and was “at home resting” on Thursday, McKinley said.

The owner caught the dog after the attack. The dog is now under quarantine at the Lawrence Humane Society. Police and animal control will forward their reports on the incident to prosecutors for a charging decision, McKinley said.

selects about 60 to 65 students who will be seniors in the upcoming school year to take part.

The students meet with community and political leaders at different levels of government to learn about the issues that inspired them to get involved in politics, and to talk about the issues that the students themselves are interested in.

“The whole idea is to focus on these areas that they can use, after they graduate, in their communities, why it’s important, especially around history and government,” Ballard said.

During their tour of the Statehouse, the students heard presentations from leaders and rank-and-file members of the House and Senate. Some were even allowed to sit at legislators’ desks on the House and Senate floor, something rarely allowed for visitors.

Man fixates on wife’s confession of infidelity Dear Annie: My wife and I have been married for 40 years. When we were first dating, my future wife unexpectedly set me aside to explore the possibilities of seeing another man. It was a difficult time for me.

The other man was a mutual acquaintance, for whom I didn’t much care, which intensified my hurt. Within two months, they stopped seeing one another, and in due time, we started dating again, fell in love and married. Sounds good — and it has been.

But I have one mental demon with which I struggle.

About three decades ago, when casually chatting about our previous romantic interests, my wife revealed that when seeing the aforementioned man, they had sex. Since being made aware of it,

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

I can’t let it go. All of those painful memories were revived by her disclosure.

My wife has been a wonderful friend, partner and parent and does not deserve my periodic fixation on something that was a tiny moment in time. Why can’t I, as she requests, just forget about it? How can I reconcile myself to it and downsize its largerthan-life status in my consciousness? — Living in the ’70s

Pointless ‘Quest’ seeks ratings gold Here’s a program that might be interesting. It could be worth watching. Maybe. It’s hard to get too much more excited about a show like “Treasure Quest: Snake Island” (9 p.m., Discovery).

The whole point of the show is that there “could” be buried Incan gold located off the eastern coast of Brazil. Sort of like the ghosts that “might” be hiding in old hospitals, spooky houses or abandoned asylums profiled on hundreds of wasted hours of pointless television s h o w s aimed at the bored and gullible.

Helmed by an expedition leader with the memorable name of Cork Graham, “Quest” will spend six episodes looking for the horde of Incan gold that’s been lost since 1524.

That’s six hours.

Geraldo Rivera spent only two hours looking for loot in “The Mystery of Al Capone’s Vaults,” a syndicated special from 1986. After weeks of teasers and two solid hours of suspense-building blather, Rivera and his viewers discovered nothing of value. But “Mystery” struck ratings gold, and a whole new era of bad television was born.

O “Great Performances” combines a beloved TV favorite, a “Star Wars” legend and an acclaimed play in “Driving Miss Daisy” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings).

Angela Lansbury and James Earl Jones star in Alfred Uhry’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, a meditation on race relations in 1940s and ’50s America as dramatized in the conversations between a 72-year-old widow (Lansbury) and her black chauffeur (Jones).

O Finding humor in adversity is not new, but it is always surprising. The documentary “Tig,” streaming now on Netflix, profiles stand-up comic Tig Notaro. In the space of four months, she suffered a mysterious illness, lost her mother and received a cancer diagnosis.

Her decision to persevere with her comedy career in the face of this news has electrified her live audiences, gone viral on social media and won her the enduring respect and affection of her peers. Many of her stand-up colleagues appear in this film.

Tonight’s other highlights

O After an injury, a cheer-

leader (Bella Thorne) careens from painkillers to heroin in the 2015 cautionary tale “Perfect High” (7 p.m., Lifetime).

O The crew loses control of the ship on “Killjoys” (8 p.m., Syfy).

O Five looks deep within on “Dark Matter” (9 p.m., Syfy).

O Michael Symon hosts “Burgers, Brew & ‘Que” (9:30 p.m., Food), premiering tonight.

Dear Living: It is not unusual to remember something disturbing and periodically think about it. But if you are doing this more than a few times a year and becoming fixated on it to the point where it is affecting other areas of your life, you might need professional help to put it aside. You’ve been holding in your resentment, jealousy and fears for 40 years and they are still eating at you. Please talk to a counselor so you can air your feelings to someone other than your wife and get help managing them. Your doctor can refer you.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Had Enough,” the 68-yearold woman who was tired of her husband’s demand for sex. At about that same age, my wife told me that she really didn’t want

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Friday, July 17, 2015: This year you will be unusually buoyant. You have a lot of energy, and you’ll need to use it wisely in order to prevent yourself from becoming stressed out. If you are single, don’t jump right from one relationship to the next, or you could miss meeting the right person. If you are attached, the two of you will opt to spend more time 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) ++++ Allow a partner to express his or her feelings, even if it makes you uncomfortable.

Tonight: Get into weekend mode.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) +++ A family member who can be a bit dramatic will remind you why you tend to distance yourself from him or her. Tonight: Stay close to home.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ++++ Don’t just sit back and listen. You need to be an active leader in order to get others to listen to you. Tonight: Strut your stuff.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ++++ You have a way of affecting those close to you in a big way. You might be a bit self-indulgent. Tonight: Out on the town.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ++++ You can’t help but smile as you see your efforts finally come to fruition. Tonight: Wish

to have sex. In a loving way, she said that she physically couldn’t put up with it anymore.

I was hurt at the time and somewhat angry.

But when I thought about it, I was also somewhat relieved, because in the few months prior, I felt my heart racing and was exhausted when making love.

I obeyed my wife’s wishes and we stopped having sex. Then, several months later, I almost suffered a heart attack. I needed extensive heart surgery and it took me months to recover. To this day, I am grateful that my wife was the first to call it off. I might have been dead otherwise. — Ever So Thankful — Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O.

Assisting shelter The city and county did the right thing by giving the Lawrence Community Shelter $100,000.

Lawrence city and Douglas County commissioners made the right call this week in deciding to bail out the Lawrence Community Shelter with $100,000 in emergency assistance.

The shelter serves the city’s homeless population. For taxpayers, the $100,000 is a smart investment. Without the shelter and its staff, it likely would cost taxpayers far more to serve the needs of the homeless.

A number of factors have conspired to work against operation of the shelter. Most importantly, demand for services is on the rise. In January, a survey of the county’s homeless population counted 296 people, an increase of more than 25 percent since the previous survey was conducted in 2013.

Leadership of the shelter also has been a problem. When current director Brian Blevins leaves July 20 for a new job in Kansas City, the shelter will be searching for its third director in the year since longtime director Loring Henderson retired.

It was Henderson who lead the fundraising to build the $3.2 million, 15,000-squarefoot shelter near the Douglas County Jail.

The new facility is nearly twice the size of the previous shelter.

But since that capital campaign, the shelter has struggled to raise funds consistently, John Tacha, vice president of the shelter’s board, told city and county officials last week. And while funds are down, operating expenses at the shelter have increased by about $300,000 since the shelter moved from a 75-bed facility downtown to the new shelter, which has a capacity of 125 beds.

Given the funding shortages, shelter leaders appeared before city and county commissioners seeking $200,000 to get through the end of the year without reducing staff.

Douglas County commissioners agreed to provide $50,000 in emergency funding on the condition that the city provide matching funds. On Tuesday, Lawrence city commissioners did just that, providing up to $50,000 in emergency aid for the homeless shelter, provided the shelter’s board can raise an equal amount from private donors. Commissioners also agreed to pay a little more than $1,100 for the shelter’s board to send out mail solicitations to raise that private money.

The emergency funding from the city and the county will ensure that the shelter’s doors stay open this year, and it was appropriate to require the shelter’s leadership to identify matching funds.

In the homeless survey released in June, one of the concerns was the rise in homeless families and in fact, some 80 children were counted in the survey. Given such numbers, it’s important that government officials do all they can to keep the Lawrence Community Shelter staffed and operating.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for July 17, 1915: “When North Lawrence farmers and gardeners asked the City years Commissioners to cut the dike ago near the Union Pacific trestle IN 1915 and let the water out of the low ground and into the river, they took it for granted that the big stream would keep on falling. But in this way they made their error and when the Kaw started coming back up last night the water rushed through the opening in the dike and back into the old river bed on the other side. Now the residents of this section are threatened with a worse flood than ever. This morning at 10 o’clock the water was back over all the low country...”

On to our next Iranian challenge Washington — The shrill Republican attacks on the Iran nuclear deal are an embarrassment. Most global leaders share President Obama’s view that the agreement is preferable to any realistic alternative. It’s a diplomatic achievement that reinforces U.S. leadership, rather than undermining it. The damage to America would come from knee-jerk congressional rejection of the pact.

The GOP noise machine blasting the deal obscures the real question ahead, which is how to contain Iran’s meddling in the region. The right strategy is to present Tehran with a sharp choice: Either join serious negotiations to end the regional wars in Syria and Yemen, or face the prospect of much stiffer, U.S.-led resistance.

Stopping Iran’s destabilizing behavior is the priority in the Middle East, as senior Israeli, Saudi and Emirati officials agree privately, whatever the public commotion about the nuclear deal. This essential task of confronting Tehran should be easier now that the Iranian nuclear program is capped for at least a decade. But Obama has to follow through on the regional front. Otherwise, Iran could extend its hegemony, which would harm the U.S and its allies.

“The technical side (of the nuclear agreement) is solid, but that was always our secondary concern,” one senior Gulf Arab official told me.

“

Building resistance to Tehran isn’t a money problem, but one of strategy and will.”

“Our primary concern,” he said, is aggressive behavior in Syria, Yemen and elsewhere by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, financed by an Iran that will be freed from sanctions.

What’s the best way to confront Tehran on these regional issues? As with the nuclear problem, the right strategy is a combination of pressure (including possible military force) and diplomacy.

Let’s start with military containment. This was the real theme of the Camp David meeting with Gulf Arab leaders in May. Though poohpoohed by commentators, the gathering produced a plan to improve arms transfers, special-forces training, joint military exercises and other measures to check Iran.

Building resistance to Tehran isn’t a money problem, but one of strategy and will.

The Gulf Arab countries are already outspending Iran on defense by more than $100 billion annually. They just aren’t getting much bang for their buck. That should change with closer cooperation.

Obama has had the “slows” in Syria, in part because he didn’t want to confront Iran’s proxy force there, the Lebanese Hezbollah militia, and risk blowing up the nuclear talks.

But that excuse is now gone.

The U.S. should squeeze President Bashar al-Assad harder. His hold is weakening.

In southern Syria, moderate fighters trained by CIA and Jordanian intelligence officers have gained ground. The Jordanians talk of building a safe zone there, with a 21st-century version of “strategic hamlets.”

In northern Syria, U.S. airstrikes have allowed Kurdish fighters to seize a strip along the Turkish border, and the Turks are deliberating whether to impose their own bordersecurity zone.

As the U.S. has seen in the nuclear talks, such pressure tactics are valuable if they push Tehran and its friends toward diplomacy. This tipping point may be near in Syria.

Moscow finally seems willing to discuss a brokered transition. Obama told New York Times columnist Tom Friedman that after talking recently with President Vladimir Putin, “I think they (the Russians) get a sense that the Assad regime is los-

ing a grip over greater and greater swaths of territory inside of Syria and that the prospects for a takeover or rout of the Syrian regime is not imminent but becomes a greater and greater threat by the day.”

Obama spoke in his news conference Wednesday about including Iran in a diplomatic settlement in Syria. “We’re not going to solve the problems in Syria unless there’s buy-in from the Russians, the Iranians, the Turks, our Gulf partners. It’s too chaotic. ...

Iran is one of those players, and I think that it’s important for them to be part of that conversation.”

Will pressure convince Iran that its interests are served by diplomatic negotiations on Syria and Yemen? Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said in April that he would welcome such talks. And Zarif has told Secretary of State John Kerry that Iran wants to play a different, less menacing role.

But here’s the heart of the problem: Zarif doesn’t control Iran’s covert-action campaigns. They’re run by Gen. Qassem Suleimani, head of the Revolutionary Guard’s Quds Force.

What will convince the hard-liners that it’s time to talk? Pressure, pressure, pressure ... and then diplomacy.

This crucial process will be much easier with the nuclear file closed.

Lane danger

Defining Hillary Clinton When I listen to Hillary Clinton speak, as she did Monday at The New School in New York, outlining her “economic policy” should she become president, my first reaction was not to her lack of substance and the predictability of her party line about taxing the rich more and “income inequality,” but to how boring she is.

I love definitions. They help focus the mind. But not everyone defines a word the same way.

Dictionary.com defines “bore” in several ways, all of which fit Hillary Clinton. As a verb used with an object, it says, “to weary by dullness, tedious repetition…” As a noun it is defined as “a dull, tiresome, or uncongenial person; a cause of ennui or petty annoyance.”

A June 2 CNN/ORC poll found that “A growing number of people say she is not honest and trustworthy (57 percent, up from 49 percent in March).”

In an interview last week with CNN, Clinton defended herself against the public’s perception that she is not trustworthy, though when you have to attest to your integrity it reminds one of Richard Nixon’s “I am not a crook” claim during the Watergate scandal. In examining her statement earlier this month that Democratic presidents, like her husband, would have paid down the

national debt (she ignores the current one who has substantially increased it), Washington Post fact checker Glenn Kessler wrote, “It is certainly fair game for Hillary Clinton to compare the fiscal record of the Clinton administration

Cal Thomas tcaeditors@tribune.com

with the record of the George W. Bush administration (just as Republicans like to compare Jimmy Carter to Ronald Reagan). But she goes too far to suggest that a Democrat could have preserved the surpluses and paid down the national debt, when a good chunk of that supposed (Clinton) surplus was based on a forecasting error.”

There is nothing she has accomplished that qualifies her to be president and much that ought to disqualify her. She is running primarily on her gender and the standard boilerplate Democratic Party mantra of bigger government, higher taxes and more regulations, which would result in less individual liberty.

Clinton’s economic speech included a plan to

raise middle-class income.

She wants to accomplish this with another hike in the minimum wage and by use of other manipulative government techniques.

A better way would be to encourage people to make themselves more valuable to their employers by taking college classes, made possible by Pell grants, student loans, scholarships or help from nonprofits and churches, or advanced-training classes, often offered by employers, which would make them more marketable.

Government might also help people secure higherpaying work in other cities and states by providing tax credits, or deductions, if they find a better job. Such a plan could also work to help the unemployed and underemployed find full-time work.

People might then come to depend less on government and more on themselves, and that is not at the heart of Democratic Party ideology. Less reliance on government equals less reliance on and possibly fewer votes for Democrats, the party of big government.

To employ a tennis term, Hillary Clinton has doublefaulted. She is both uninspiring and uninteresting.

To mix sports metaphors, add boring and you’d have a hockey hat trick.

—Cal Thomas is a columnist for the Tribune Content Agency.

To the editor: As a long-time bicyclist, I think bicycle lanes are dangerous, because they encourage bicyclists to ride in the street. Every time I have been hit, or nearly hit, by cars while I was riding in the street, and the cars bothered to stop, the drivers all said the same thing: “I didn’t see you.”

When motorists pass a bike in the street, they have to slow down and drive over by the center line. They don’t like this. Scarcely a month passed on my bike without someone yelling, “Get off the road!”

Motorists have thrown, and hit me with, rocks, chunks of ice, and cans.

People advocate bike lanes because they think that will encourage motorists to share the road. But this presupposes that a) the motorist will see the bicyclist, and b) is willing to yield the right of way.

By far the safest way to bike around town is on the sidewalk. Except for downtown, or where otherwise posted, riding on sidewalks is legal. Bicyclists will have fewer accidents if they ride on the sidewalks than if they ride in a bike lane, out in the street.

Forget flags?

To the editor: Celebrating the Fourth — or not!

In Lawrence, Kansas, on the Fourth of July, 2015, by my most unscientific of calculations, an American flag flew, on average, one per city block. I’m 80 and tend to forget more often than I care to admit. I didn’t forget this one! What is everyone else’s excuse?

Marshall made to himself, and $2,700 came from a political action committee.

Huelskamp raised $76,520 in the second quarter, with $40,020 coming from individual donors and $36,500 coming from political action committees.

His campaign committee, Kansans for Huelskamp, had $666,040 on hand at the end of June.

Fort Hays State University political science professor Chapman Rackaway said Marshall’s fundraising indicates he is taking his campaign seriously.

“It’s not easy to impress me with this stuff, but I’m impressed,” Rackaway said.

Foster

What the problem is, when you narrowly define the family to look like Ward and June Cleaver of the 1950s, it rejects what we know CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A to be true of American families in the 21st January, when Brown- century.” back issued an executive reorganization order, shifting the job of licensing foster parents to DCF from the Department of Health and Environment.

That order took effect July 1.

Since then, DCF spokeswoman Theresa Freed said, the agency has begun a comprehensive review of all policies and regulations regarding foster care, but she said it is still too early to know what kind of policy changes will result from that review.

“I couldn’t say it’s being contemplated,” Freed said of the rumored changes for foster care licensing. “The review process has only just begun.

No policy changes have been passed or acted on.”

In her letter, Kittel noted that a growing number of children are being placed in state custody in Kansas at a time when the state already suffers from a shortage of foster homes.

“I have great concern that the implementation of any new policy of a marriage requirement such as the one rumored will further reduce the number of homes available at a time when the number of children in out of home placement is increasing,” she wrote.

— Rep. Jim Ward, D-Wichita Gina Meier-Hummel, executive director of The Shelter Inc. in Lawrence, a local agency that matches children with foster homes and operates a group home, said she has also heard rumors of a possible change in licensure policy, but she has heard nothing official from DCF. “I think we need to carefully evaluate anything that would limit the number of qualified foster homes that are available,” Meier-Hummel said.

Rep. Jim Ward, of Wichita, the ranking Democrat on the House Health and Human Services Committee, said he is concerned about DCF’s ability to manage the foster care system already, and he fears any policy changes that would reduce the availability of foster homes.

“You’ve got 6,500 kids in foster care. You’re at record levels and you’re still failing the job. Kids are dying,” Ward said, referring to recent news reports about Kansas children who have died while in the custody of the state’s foster care system.

Ward said he and Rep. Ed Trimmer, D-Winfield, plan next week to ask the Legislative Post Audit Committee to conduct an audit of DCF to determine whether it’s following its own policies and guidelines for ensuring the safety of children in its custody.

A growing problem According to DCF statistics, 6,507 children were in the state’s foster care system in April of this year, a record high for the state.

That included 131 children in Douglas County, also a record high.

Those numbers fell slightly in May, to 6,492 statewide and 128 in Douglas County.

On average, about half of all children in the foster care system in Kansas are placed in family-based foster homes.

About one-third of them are placed with other relatives, and about 5 percent are placed in group homes.

Topeka (ap) — A central Kansas obstetrician trying to unseat U.S. Rep. Tim Huelskamp in Kansas’ sprawling 1st District more than doubled the incumbent’s fundraising between April and June, according to Federal Election Commission filings.

Family dispute Since taking office in 2011, Brownback has been outspoken about his belief that children fare better when they are raised in households with a mother and father who are married. He has also advocated policies that encourage marriage, saying among other things that doing so

SPORTS 7:30

would strengthen families and reduce childhood poverty rates.

But Ward said he thinks Brownback’s emphasis on nuclear families is misplaced.

“The concept that family is an important component to the strength of communities and states and countries is absolutely, universally agreed to,” Ward said. “What the problem is, when you narrowly define the family to look like Ward and June Cleaver of the 1950s, it rejects what we know to be true of American families in the 21st century. Instead of trying to stigmatize everything that doesn’t look like the stereotype of the ’50s, we should be trying to embrace and empower all kinds of families.”

On July 7, following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision legalizing samesex marriage nationwide, Brownback issued an executive order that some have suggested could open the door to discrimination against unmarried or same-sex couples who provide foster care and other social services for the state.

The “Preservation and Protection of Religious Freedom” order specifically says that the state, “shall not take any discriminatory action against a religious organization, including those providing social services, wholly or partially on the basis that such organization declines or will decline to solemnize any marriage or to provide services, accommodations, facilities, goods, or privileges for a purpose related to the solemnization, formation, celebration or recognition of any marriage, based upon or consistent with a sincerely held religious belief or moral conviction.”

“This is a nightmare for the city of the Chattanooga,” he said.

President Obama called the attack “heartbreaking.”

The gunman, who drove a silver Mustang convertible, first fired at an Armed Forces Career Center at a strip mall, then sped off. The shooter drove to the U.S. Naval Reserve Center on Amnicola Highway, where he fired into the offices.

Authorities didn’t disclose whether the gunman was killed by officers or shot himself.

USA TODAY

Forensic evidence painstakingly collected after a sexual assault can identify suspects. It can corroborate survivors’ stories or exonerate the wrongly accused. Checked against DNA databases, it can help catch serial rapists before they attack again.

Consistency lacking in police policies on rape tests, 2B

KSDK

Yet a USA TODAY Media Network investigation identified more than 70,000 neglected rape kits in 1,000 police agencies across the country that were never tested.

Among 18,000 police agencies nationwide, the untested kits could reach into the hundreds of thousands.

“Every single one of those rape kits is a person and (their) family and friends,” said Joanie Scheske of St. Louis, whose rapist was identified 18 years after her attack through a DNA match with another long-neglected rape kit in a separate attack.

The records, obtained by USA

TODAY and journalists for more than 75 Gannett newspapers and TEGNA TV stations, reveal widespread inconsistency in how police handle rape evidence from agency to agency and even officer to officer.

Some departments test every rape kit. Others send as few as two in 10 to crime labs. Decisions often are left to the discretion of investigating officers.

Decades of promises from politicians and more than $1 billion in federal funding have failed to fix the problems.

The ongoing count shows the problem goes beyond high-profile rape-kit scandals in big cities

by finding hundreds of untested evidence kits in smaller-city police departments in places such as Muncie, Ind.; Visalia, Calif.; and Green Bay, Wis. The investigation prompted change, even before publication.

State agencies and local police that didn’t know how many untested rape kits they held in storage decided to count. Several agencies, after questioning, sent rape kits to crime labs.

In South Carolina, after legislative leaders were told of the findings, they began pursuing statewide standards defining when police should test rape evidence.

Study: Kids’ social skills key to success as adults Liz Szabo and Greg Toppo USA TODAY

Parents who want their kids to succeed have been known to play Mozart in the nursery and quiz their preschoolers with flash cards.

A new study suggests these parents might want to go back to the basics by teaching children to share and take turns.

Kindergartners with strong social and emotional skills were more likely than their peers to succeed academically and profes-

sionally, according to a 20-year study that followed more than 750 children until age 25.

Youngsters whose kindergarten teachers gave them the highest scores on “social competence” were more likely than other kids to graduate high school on time, earn a college degree and hold full-time jobs. Social competence involves more than making friends, according to the study, published in the American Journal of Public Health. Teachers rated kids on the ability to cooperate, resolve conflicts, listen to others’ points of view, give sug-

gestions without being bossy and other skills.

Kids with weaker social skills were more likely to develop substance abuse problems, be unemployed, get arrested, live in public housing or receive public assistance, according to the study, which included children from low-income neighborhoods in Nashville; Seattle; Durham, N.C.; and central Pennsylvania.

Children with poor social skills in kindergarten are by no means a lost cause, pediatrician Dina Lieser said. The study provides a hopeful message because it’s pos-

sible to improve social skills throughout childhood, said Lieser, chairwoman of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ council on early childhood, who wasn’t involved in the study.

A growing number of studies point to the importance of early childhood experiences in shaping the brain and later behavior. A 2011 study found that people who showed more self-control as preschoolers were healthier and wealthier by age 32, even after researchers considered influential factors such as IQ and social class.

USA TODAY INVESTIGATION

Tens of thousands of rape kits untested Victims ask why evidence in assaults tucked away in storage

“The fact is that often rape kits are unsubmitted for testing because of a blame-the-victim mentality or because investigators mistrust the survivor’s story,” Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan told a U.S. Senate subcommittee in May. After more than 10,000 untested sexual assault kits were discovered in Detroit in 2008, a landmark study funded by the Justice Department exploring the causes of the failure to test evidence faulted police for “negative, victim-blaming beliefs.”

“Rape survivors were often assumed to be prostitutes, and therefore, what had happened to them was considered to be their own fault,” researchers from Michigan State University wrote.

Steve Reilly USA TODAY

After 18 years without justice, Joanie Scheske believed the man who raped her would never be caught.

Then, the St. Louis police called in 2009. Evidence in a separate, 8-year old sexual assault was finally tested and matched her attacker’s DNA. Rapist Mark Frisella, whose attack was so brutal Scheske still suffers from epilepsy, is serving 19 years in prison.

“I had a really difficult time wrapping my head around why that rape kit was never tested,” Scheske said.

A USA TODAY Media Network investigation has found similar evidence in tens of thousands of rape kits neglected by police around the country.

Records obtained from more than 1,000 police departments identified at least 70,000 sexual assault kits containing evidence from reported rapes and other sexual offenses that were never sent to labs for testing. Despite its scope, the agency-by-agency count covers a fraction of the nation’s 18,000 police departments, suggesting the number of abandoned rape kits reaches into the hundreds of thousands.

The kits contain forensic evidence collected from survivors in a painstaking and invasive process that can last four to six hours.

Testing can yield DNA evidence that helps identify suspects, bolster prosecutions or in some cases exonerate the wrongly accused.

The investigation found widespread inconsistency in how police handle rape evidence and failures at all levels of government to solve the problem. Records obtained from requests in all 50 states revealed: uMost states and most police agencies have no written guidelines for processing sex crime evidence. Decisions often are left to the discretion of investigating officers. Some agencies test every rape kit. Others send as few as two in 10 to crime labs. uMany thousands of untested kits are accumulating almost unnoticed at rural and smaller-city departments. uAlthough uploading offenders’ information into DNA databases can help identify serial predators who move across jurisdictions, police often treat rape kits as if the evidence is relevant only to a single assault. uAt least 50 law enforcement agencies — from Montgomery, Ala., to Reno, Nev. — have never counted untested rape kits in their evidence rooms. Most states haven’t undertaken an inventory. uThe U.S. Department of Justice is failing to comply with a 2013 law meant to get more evidence tested and set standards for processing rape kits.

For rape survivors such as Scheske, the accumulation of untested evidence is more than abstract statistics.

“Every single one of those rape kits is a person and family and friends,” she said. “It’s like a baby’s mobile: You touch one piece, and it moves all the others.

It’s not just one person. Everyone that their sphere of influence touches is affected by what happens to a victim.”

DISCRETION QUESTION NO CONSISTENCY IN DECISION TO TEST OR STORE EVIDENCE

Debbie Smith of Williamsburg, Va., is one of thousands whose cases were solved by DNA analysis. After a masked man invaded her home in 1989 and raped her — threatening to come back and kill her if she told anyone — she lived in constant fear for more than six years.

Smith remembers the day she was told a DNA match identified her attacker. He was already behind bars in Maryland for another crime. “It was the first time in those 6½ years that I took a deliberate breath. I wanted to breathe. I wanted to live.”

The inconsistent analysis of rape kits persists even as compre-

hensive testing in some cities — including New York, Cleveland and Detroit — has demonstrated the power of the previously unused evidence to identify assailants, confirm the accounts of sexual assault survivors or exonerate the wrongly accused.

The results showed the discretion investigators have over whether to test rape kits has often been misused, said Sarah Haacke Byrd, managing director of the Joyful Heart Foundation, a group pushing for testing of all kits tied to reported sexual assaults.

“Time and time again, we have seen that law enforcement frequently disbelieves victims when they’re seeking help from law enforcement,” she said. Mandatory testing “takes discretion out of the hands of law enforcement.”

COLD HITS TESTING EVIDENCE, EVEN YEARS LATER, IS RESOLVING RAPE CASES

It took more than a decade for Michael J. Brown to face justice for the rape of a school-age girl at a New York City apartment complex.

On Aug. 6, 1993, Brown followed the girl inside a Queens apartment building. He placed his hand over her mouth and abducted her, taking her to the rooftop, where he raped her and knocked her unconscious with a brick, according to court records.

The girl was taken to a hospital, where she was interviewed by police and a rape kit was prepared. For nine years, that evidence sat in a freezer among a trove of 16,000 untested rape kits held by the New York City Police Department.

In prior decades, the evidence had little value unless new leads emerged. DNA technology advanced, and state and federal governments built offender databases. Police and policymakers saw value in analyzing the evidence.

In the late 1990s, the NYPD spent $12 million to send every kit to a private lab for analysis.

About 2,000 matched DNA in offender databases — “cold hits” as police call them. One of the matches: Michael Brown.

How sexual assault kit testing works Forensic tests of sexual assault evidence kits have been used to identify thousands of offenders since the 1990s. Here is how testing the evidence from a kit can help identify a suspect in sexual assault cases:

His DNA had been entered into the FBI’s Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) database after an unrelated crime in Maryland. The DNA match led to his indictment in 2003 for the New York girl’s rape. He was convicted in 2005.

Other cities and states followed New York’s example and test all rape kits. New laws and changing attitudes have led to CODIS matches resulting in thousands of new investigations and hundreds of indictments — many involving serial offenders tied to sex crimes in different parts of the country.

Testing by Cleveland-area prosecutors linked more than 200 alleged serial rapists to about 600 assaults. Statewide, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine’s effort to collect and test rape kits has resulted in at least 2,285 CODIS hits.

In Houston, analysis of about 6,600 untested rape kits resulted in about 850 matches, 29 prosecutions and six convictions.

Since Colorado began requiring police statewide to submit rape kits for testing last year, more than 150 matches have been found.

Still, many police agencies haven’t changed policies.

Forty-four states have no law stipulating when police should test rape kits, and 34 states haven’t conducted a statewide inventory.

“We need to have a full accounting for the state of what’s left, what hasn’t been tested, why it hasn’t been tested and just clear it up,” said New York State Assembly member Linda Rosenthal, a Democrat, who introduced legislation that would require an inventory. The bill has yet to make it out of committee.

The state Department of Criminal Justice Services started a survey of 213 police agencies after questioning from USA TODAY.

REASONS WHY

HOSPITAL Sexual assault kit is assembled by collecting biological and other forensic evidence including blood, semen, saliva and loose hairs.

LAW ENFORCEMENT Investigators decide whether or not to forward the kit to a crime lab for testing.

CRIME LAB Analyzes and enters DNA into the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS). Alerts investigators of a match; otherwise, DNA remains in CODIS for future reference.

ZACH WALKER, USA TODAY

WHY POLICE SAY THEY DON’T TEST EVERY KIT

Interviews with law enforcement officials and a review of case records reveal rape kit testing is often arbitrary and inconsistent between agencies and even within agencies.

In Jackson, Tenn., records show contradictory reasons why rape kits were not tested.

In some cases, the Jackson Police Department did not test evidence because the suspect’s identity was already known. In others, records show police decided not to test kits because there was “no known suspect,” even though testing the kits could help identify a suspect.

Law enforcement officials said the most common reason kits are not tested is there is not a prosecutable case, usually because of a lack of cooperation from victims.

That’s not a valid reason to jettison forensic evidence, said Mai Fernandez, executive director of the National Crime Victims Center in Washington. Some survivors may fear retaliation if they press charges.

“The victim might not decide that they want to go forward with the case, but they might decide later on that they do,” Fernandez said. “Or if there’s enough circumstantial evidence, including the kit, a jurisdiction could decide to go forward without the victim.”

Some government officials and researchers faulted police for a predisposition to doubt survivors’ stories.

CONGRESSIONAL FIX IGNORED

Many law enforcement officials are adamant in their defense of leaving some kits untested.

At about $1,000 per kit, officials said, submitting a rape kit for testing unnecessarily could divert resources from other needs or delay testing of evidence in cases where the need is more urgent.

“The kit itself isn’t always the best science or the best evidence to a case,” said Sgt. Trent Crump, spokesman for the Phoenix Police Department, which has accumulated 1,782 untested rape kits since 2000.

A growing number of advocates push universal testing.

“I think that in cities that have started testing all of their backlog, they’re finding enough patterns of serial rapists for the information to be really valuable in current cases as well as the ones that have been sitting on shelves for years,” said Scott Berkowitz, president of the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network.

Over the past decade, Congress appropriated about $1.2 billion to cut the nation’s backlog of DNA testing. In other terms: enough to test 1 million rape kits.

In 2013, Congress passed the Sexual Assault Forensic Evidence Reporting Act, requiring threequarters of federal funding for sexual assault kits be used for testing or taking inventory. The law set up grants to help police pay for counting and testing. No grants have been awarded. A Justice Department steering committee met only once, in March 2014.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, who authored the law, said that’s “completely unconscionable.”

While federal action is stalled, changes in how rape evidence is treated fall to state and local officials. As more cold hits emerge, some law enforcement leaders have started to advocate for change.

“They’ve had success stories with testing these kits,” said Col. Elmer Setting, who leads the New Castle Police Department in Delaware and supports mandatory testing. “It’s amazing how, (for) many of these sexual predators, we have their DNA and we never tested the kit. It doesn’t make any sense.”

NATION/WORLD COLORADO THEATER SHOOTING

JAMES HOLMES GUILTY OF MURDER Jurors reject insanity argument; reading of verdicts lasts an hour Nicholas Penzenstadler, Doug Stanglin and Michael Winter USA TODAY

CENTENNIAL , COLO. Rejecting his insanity defense, a jury convicted James Holmes of first-degree murder and attempted murder Thursday for killing 12 people and wounding 70 others when he shot up a packed movie theater in a Denver suburb three years ago.

The 27-year-old former University of Colorado neuroscience researcher could face the death penalty when he is sentenced for the carefully planned July 20, 2012, attack in Aurora.

The first guilty verdict was announced at 4:15 p.m., MT (6:15 p.m. ET). Judge Carlos Samour Jr. finished reading the verdicts on

gan deliberating Wednesday.

Arapahoe County District Attorney George Brauchler dismissed the diagnoses and brain scans indicating that Holmes suffered from schizophrenia, saying they did not prove that his ability

to tell right from wrong was impaired, which is the legal standard.

“He wasn’t insane,” the prosecutor said.

In his final argument, however, defense attorney Dan King told jurors they “cannot divorce the mental illness from this case or from Mr. Holmes. Because the mental illness caused this to happen. Only the mental illness and nothing else.”

During the trial, prosecutors played numerous hours of video recorded interviews conducted with Holmes by a court-appointed psychiatrist.

In the recordings made nearly two years after the shootings, Holmes rarely showed any emotion or regret. Instead, he matterof-factly explained how he faked a phone call to duck outside as the previews rolled, put a clamp on the emergency exit to hold it open, and then returned a few minutes later as The Dark Knight Rises began playing.

Obama visits prison to push justice plans SAUL LOEB, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

President takes steps for overhaul of criminal justice system, with bipartisan support

David Jackson and Susan Davis USA TODAY

P

resident Obama became the first president to visit a federal prison Thursday, going behind bars to talk to inmates and law enforcement officials about ways to overhaul the criminal justice system.

As Obama called again for legislation to permit lighter sentences for non-violent drug offenders and other changes, there were more signs from Congress that some of his ideas are gaining bipartisan support.

“We have to consider whether this is the smartest way for us to both control crime and rehabilitate individuals,” Obama said af-

ter a tour of the El Reno Federal Correctional Institute near Oklahoma City.

After speaking with prison officials and inmates serving time for drug offenses, Obama said he is struck by how many people face years in prison because they made foolish, youthful mistakes — many of them similar to the kinds of mistakes he and others made as kids.

“There but for the grace of God,” he said. “And that is something that we all have to think about.”

Citing the overcrowded and violent conditions at too many prisons in the United States, Obama said the situation is “not normal.

It’s not what happens in other countries. What is normal is teenagers doing stupid things. What is normal is young people who make

Obama’s prison trip — part of a week-long series of events designed to highlight criminal justice issues — came as the top House Republican added himself to the growing list of lawmakers who support new sentencing laws.

“We’ve got a lot of people in prison, frankly, that really in my view really don’t need to be there,” said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.

A series of proposals are pending in the Republican-run House and Senate.

During his visit to El Reno, the president also called for improvements in prison quality, including crackdowns on overcrowding, gang violence, and sexual assaults.

A crew from the documentary program Vice accompanied Obama as he toured the prison.

IN BRIEF UNCERTAINTY OVER FUNDING THREATENS MOTORISTS

Americans face more traffic jams, car repairs and crumbling roads as states throughout the nation halt highway projects because of uncertainty over federal funding.

Congress is moving to avert an immediate crisis by trying to pass a highway bill before the Highway Trust Fund runs out of money on July 31. But the House and Senate are unlikely to agree in the next two weeks on anything more than a short-term fix for a problem that states and road builders say desperately needs a long-term solution.

Meanwhile, in the midst of the peak summer construction season, at least seven states have had to put road building on hold because they can’t count on federal dollars.

States and local communities have been hard-pressed to carry out plans for major highway improvements because Congress has passed nothing but shortterm funding bills since 2009.

Interpol has issued a red notice for Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, who escaped Saturday from a maximum security prison in Mexico.

The International Police Organization says on its website the 58-year-old drug kingpin is wanted on U.S. federal charges for “conspiracy to import and possess cocaine with intent to distribute; money laundering; and criminal forfeiture (4 counts).”

An Interpol “red notice” calls for the arrest of a wanted person for the purpose of “extradition or similar lawful action,” the website says.

Guzman escaped over the weekend from the Altiplano federal prison, 50 miles outside Mexico City, through a mile-long tunnel dug under the prison and up to the shower in his cell.

WASHINGTON A record $377 million has rained down on the presidential field in the opening months of the 2016 contest, with more than $6 out of every $10 raised on candidates’ behalf going to independent groups that face no contribution limits.

The trend, dominated by Republicans, underscores how much recent changes to federal election rules, including court rulings allowing unlimited corporate contributions in elections, have rewritten the playbook of American campaigns.

Ferguson mayor to begin outreach effort Aamer Madhani USA TODAY

Weeks after Ferguson, Mo., activists fell 27 signatures short of forcing Mayor James Knowles to face a recall, the mayor says he is launching a door-to-door effort to touch base with city residents who considered his potential ouster.

Knowles told USA TODAY that he and campaign volunteers have sifted through the petition signatures and that he will soon begin his outreach effort, perhaps as early as next week.

The mayor faced ridicule from activists when he said in a television interview that his community had no racial divide shortly after unrest broke out in the St. Louis suburb last year following the shooting death of a black teenager by a white police officer.

Backers of the recall also criticized Knowles for overseeing a city government that activists say was hostile to black residents long before the shooting death of Michael Brown, the unarmed teenager who was fatally shot after a confrontation with police officer Darren Wilson.

Europe’s central bank boosted its emergency lending to Greek banks by 900 million euro or nearly $981.3 million Thursday, a move that could enable the beleaguered nation’s lending institutions to reopen.

European Central Bank President Mario Draghi announced the decision during a news conference in Frankfurt, where he said adding additional funds to the more than 89 billion euro or nearly $97 billion previously

committed came in response to “positive” developments in Greece’s talks with creditors.

Those updates included the vote by Greece’s parliament shortly before midnight to accept new austerity measures demanded by creditors as the prerequisite for receiving nearly $100 billion in the country’s third bailout in five years.

Additionally, eurozone finance ministers meeting in Brussels on Thursday agreed in principle to give Greece a 7 billion euro or nearly $7.63 billion bridge loan from a European Union fund to keep the country solvent until a bailout is approved. EU states are expected to confirm the loan on Friday.

“Things have changed now,” Draghi said. “We have substantially accommodated the Bank of Greece’s request.”

“We know that there is a bor-

It was unclear Thursday how quickly Greek banks might reopen and when they might be able to resume normal activities.

However, Draghi said the ECB was relatively certain Greece now would be able to make repayments on the billions it owes the International Monetary Fund and other creditors.

“All my evidence leads me to believe we will be repaid, as well as the IMF,” he said.

Draghi also rejected claims by critics that ECB’s prior refusal to approve additional emergency funding had roiled the alreadyshaken Greek economy. Characterizing such claims as “unfounded,” he said the central bank had provided needed liquidity.

Separately, Draghi declined to discuss whether Greece should remain in the EU. “It is not up to the ECB to decide,” he said.

bus, only because there is no U.S. consensus estimate available).

Not many industries have so much universal enthusiasm.

Analysts are most bullish on Kratos Defense & Security, which is more of a play on war than on space exploration. The company has a business unit that focuses on unmanned systems.

That includes sensors, avionics and electronic parts that find their way into aerospace systems.

Shares are already up 22% this year to close Thursday at $6.12 a share. Analysts say this stock could be worth $8.50 a share in 18 months, which if correct, is 39% upside.

Perhaps the best known and most direct way to play space exploration is Orbital ATK. Orbital touches the space and avionics

business with three of its business units: flight systems, defense systems and space systems. Orbital’s flight systems unit builds rockets for midsize space vehicles primarily to place satellites in orbit. Shares have been stellar, rising 34% this year. Despite that gain, analysts remain bullish. The stock, which closed at $73.41 Thursday, could be worth nearly 19% more in 18 months if the average analyst is correct, S&P Capital IQ says.

Of course, it’s important to note that space exploration is risky business. Even Musk’s own SpaceX has had its fair share of costly mishaps.

But just take a close look at those pictures of Pluto. Maybe you’ll find a way to profit the next time our telescopes whiz by.

In a move that sometimes spells sales trouble, Ford is offering discounts of up to $10,479 for its most important vehicle, the F-150 pickup.

The discounts are featured this week on Ford’s website and vary by region. The highest discounts were found in places including Washington, D.C., but even pickup havens like California were seeing discounts of more than $7,000. The discounts appeared to apply to only the larger, more deluxe versions that often carry higher price tags.

The discounting is unusual because the highly revised 2015 F-150 is relatively new in the market. The current version has an aluminum body to save weight, and thus fuel. Not only is the F-150 the nation’s best-selling vehicle, it is also considered one of the most profitable, at least compared to cars.

But sales were down 8.9% last month, and at 55,171 in sales, F Series only outsold perennial No. 2 pickup Chevrolet Silverado by about 4,000 vehicles. Silverado gained 18.4% in sales for the month. Ford officials have blamed tight supplies for sales droop, but analysts aren’t so sure.

“The truck hasn’t sold up to expectations ... and this may be a hint that in certain parts of the country, the issue might be more than supply,” says Akshay Anand, analyst at Kelley Blue Book.

“The truck hasn’t sold up to expectations ... and this may be a hint that in certain parts of the country, the issue might be more than supply.”

Akshay Anand of Kelley Blue Book

The real development to watch for is whether Ford moves out the incentives nationwide, and if the price cuts are extended to lower trim levels.

Ford is downplaying the discounts. It says the price cut, for instance, isn’t a lump sum, but a number of discounts bundled together — from different kinds of cash-back deals to incentives on upscale options packages.

“Incentives and rebates are a normal part of our business,” says spokesman Mike Levine. “Some incentives encourage customers to purchase better-equipped trucks while others reward our customers for their loyalty or financing through Ford Credit.”

He says Ford is spending less on incentives overall than a year ago. Plus, customers are paying about $44,100 per vehicle to add on more features and options, the highest ever for F-Series pickups.

GPS-maker Garmin seems to have lost its way Q: Can Garmin survive as smartphones take over?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Remember when your Garmin GPS was your best friend on the road? It’s most likely since been replaced by your smartphone. That’s one of the problems facing Garmin.

Shares of the maker of navigation devices have been suffering as the company struggles to remain relevant as smartphones eat away at the need for dedicated equipment. Garmin’s shares have fallen by more than 20% over the past 12 months and more than 10% this year alone.

The pain continued Thursday as investors reacted to Garmin’s lowered guidance for second-quarter revenue.

The company expects revenue of up to $775 million during the quarter, short of the $772.5 million analysts were expecting. The company also took down guidance for quarterly profit to as low as $2.65 a share, down from the previously expected $3.10. Investors need to see if the company can cook up new products that can take on competitors that increasingly eat away share.

Now the company’s fitness tracking segment is under attack by rivals like Fitbit. Analysts rate shares a “hold.”

Profit in 2016 is expected to be $3.07 a share in 2016, which is 1% below 2014 profit. Still, analysts think this stock could be worth $48.23 a share in 18 months, up 12% from current levels.

One year after Yellen’s warning, biotech stocks still rising Adam Shell USA TODAY

A year ago, Fed chair Janet Yellen made waves when she warned of “substantially stretched” valuations in the biotech sector. Her market call was ill-timed. A popular biotech ETF is up more than 50% since then.

At the time of Yellen’s warning, which occurred during last summer’s July 15 testimony before Congress, many Wall Street pros were taken aback by a central banker commenting so specifically on financial markets, even go-

ing so far to identify specific sectors of the market. Other pundits compared it to ex-Fed chairman Alan Greenspan’s famous “irrational exuberance” quote back in December 1996, when he first warned of stock market excesses. (The stock market, of course, did not peak back then until March 2000, or more than three years after Greenspan’s infamous warning.) Still others wondered aloud last summer why any investor would take investment advice from an economist like Yellen, as opposed to a professional money manager.

(Yellen’s current two-day testi-

DREW ANGERER, BLOOMBERG

Janet Yellen, senators on Thursday.

mony on Capitol Hill ended Thursday and was far less focused on market valuation.)

Last summer, however, Yellen did her best Greenspan imitation, using the phrase “substantially

stretched” to describe the overvaluation in small stocks in the biotech and social media space.

Her commentary — a single sentence buried in a paragraph on page 20 of the Fed’s 55-page Monetary Policy Report — followed more general comments on market valuation that she said were “at levels not far above the historical averages.”

But what caught investors’ attention and made waves last summer was the following passage: “Nevertheless, valuation metrics in some sectors do appear substantially stretched — particularly those for smaller firms in the so-

cial media and biotechnology industries, despite a notable downturn in equity prices for such firms early in the year.”

Turns out her market call was early. Since the close of trading on July 15, 2014, most of the types of stocks Yellen warned about have kept climbing higher, with biotechs taking the lead.

Indeed, in the past year, the iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF (IBB) has rallied almost 55%. The small-cap Russell 2000 (RUT) stock index has climbed nearly 10%, and the Global X Social Media Index ETF (SOCL) has risen 3%.

Streaming sites have been steadily encroaching on TV networks in attention and awards, and this year’s Emmy nominations, announced Thursday, continue that trend.

Netflix, with 34 nominations, claimed more spots in the top series and acting categories, with Orange Is the New Black, House of Cards, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Bloodline and Grace and Frankie, and Amazon is already a favorite to win for Jeffrey Tambor’s performance in Transparent. Still, HBO remained the top contender with 126 nods, up from 99 last year, and its Game of Thrones had the most nominations of any program with 24.

The Emmys increased to seven the number of comedy and drama series vying for top honors.

Perennial winner Modern Family will face Veep, Louie, Transparent, Schmidt, Silicon Valley and the final season of Parks and Recreation. And Mad Men, also competing for the last time, joins Thrones, Cards, Orange, Downton Abbey, Homeland and Better Call Saul, a spinoff of Breaking Bad. Jon Hamm will try once more for his role as conflicted adman Don Draper in AMC’s Mad Men (he’s been nominated seven

times, but never won), facing Saul’s Bob Odenkirk, Bloodline’s Kyle Chandler, Cards’ Kevin Spacey, Ray Donovan star Liev Schreiber and previous Newsroom winner Jeff Daniels. (If Hamm loses, he has another shot as guest actor in Kimmy Schmidt).

Taraji P. Henson won a best-actress nomination for Fox’s smash hit Empire, against Viola Davis (How to Get Away With Murder), Claire Danes (Homeland), firsttimer Tatiana Maslany (Orphan

Black), Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men) and Robin Wright (Cards).

But neither Henson’s show nor her co-star, Terrence Howard, were recognized. Nor were fourtime winner Jim Parsons and TV’s top comedy The Big Bang Theory, in a continued tilt away from big broadcasters.

Orange has switched to the drama category, thanks to a rule change that makes most hourlong series ineligible as comedy contenders. And a new category, variety sketch series, aims to differentiate series such as Inside Amy Schumer and Saturday Night Live from late-night talk shows.

What homeowners should do when the power goes out Linda a. ditch

Hometown Lawrence

The world seems to stop when the power goes out — No humming appliances, yakking televisions or beeping electronic games. So much of our life is connected to electricity it is disconcerting when the connection is broken.

Westar Energy’s Media Relations Manager Gina Penzig said power outages in the Lawrence division are down about 40 percent compared with the first half of 2014. This is primarily due to a quiet storm season and the implementation of ReliabiliTree, the program responsible for trimming trees along area power lines.

“One of the common causes for outages so far this year has been wildlife, primarily squirrels,” Penzig wrote in an email. “When our crews respond to a wildlife-

related outage they will add wildlife protection to the affected equipment to help prevent future outages.”

The hot weather also doesn’t help. When the temperature goes up, so does electrical use. This can put outage-causing stress on the system.

“We work to prevent this by using infrared technology to look for weak spots in the system before the stress of summer,” she said. “We also can sometimes shift the load on the system to other circuits as needed, similar to a redirecting traffic if you have a street that is congested.”

The first thing a homeowner should do when the power goes out is call the electric company.

Westar encourages customers to keep the 1-800-LIGHT KS outage number by the telephone

or programmed into their cell phones. Don’t assume someone else will call. The more outage reports the company receives, the faster a cause can be determined.

Customers may report and receive updates about power outages by signing up for Westar’s text or email service. A new mobile app, MyWestar, is available on the Apple Store and Google Play. The app allows you to manage your account and report and monitor power outages using the app.

Next, turn off all your appliances, including the air conditioner, water heater, and water pump. Unplug televisions and computers. This keeps the circuits from overloading when the power is restored. Leave on one light to signal the power is back on.

ReliabiliTree is a Westar Energy program that keeps trees near power lines trimmed, reducing the risk of an outage.

Keep the doors to the refrigerator and freezer closed.

Food in the refrigerator will stay safe for about four hours, and a full freezer of food will keep frozen for about 48 hours.

To help keep the inside cool, close the curtains and blinds on the sunny side of the house. Also, keep the doors and windows closed until the indoor temperature equals the outside.

Plus drink plenty of water.

Westar’s website, www. westarenergy.com, has additional information for dealing with power outages. Just click on the “Report and outage” tab.

KANSAS WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Will Self keep Kansas playing faster?

Having innate ability to control situations that easily could spin chaotically out of control is one of the qualities that makes good coaches successful.

Just force yourself to watch talented basketball players competing in pickup games. It doesn’t take long for those contests to turn into a series of break-away dunks. Very boring stuff, no matter how gravity-defying the dunks.

Kansas University coach Bill Self is one of the best in the business at getting his athletes to play in concert and do what he wants. In other words, he knows how to control them.

It’s surrendering control that generally doesn’t come as easily to successful coaches, which was why it was encouraging to hear Self talk about one of the many positives of his team’s trip to Gwangju, South Korea, from which the players brought home gold medals earned at the World University Games.

“We probably played faster than anybody there, without question,” Self told reporters Wednesday night at Hoglund Ballpark, where at least a thousand showed up to welcome the team home. “I thought it was a positive. It made me trust guys to make plays for themselves, to play one-onone as opposed to try to run offense to score.”

It takes mature players to earn Self’s trust and in Frank Mason, Wayne Selden and Perry Ellis, for starters, this team has plenty of it.

Self also has the right personnel to push the pace.

Mason is faster with the ball than most players are without it. In Gwangju, Nic Moore, on loan from SMU, had the speed to keep up with Mason. Once Devonte´ Graham heals from the quad injury that sidelined him from the World University Games, he’ll be the one keeping up with Mason. He’s up to it.

The rebounders throwing outlet passes have equally attractive options in Mason and Graham.

That hasn’t always been the case. Wayne Selden, now the No. 3 ballhandler, was the second in the starting lineup the past two seasons.

The year before that, Travis Releford was the secondbest ballhandler among starters.

Self’s two Final Four teams started a pair of combo guards, Russell Robinson and Mario Chalmers in 2008, Tyshawn Taylor and Elijah Johnson in 2012, but did not play at a fast tempo, in part because opponents had to use so much of the 35-second shot clock to get a shot off against such good man-to-man defense.

KU’s great guards of the past didn’t have the chance to show how well they could play with a 24-second shot clock, as did the current team in international play.

Eye to the future

KANSAS UNIVERSITY WOMEN’S BASKETBALL GUARD LAUREN ALDRIDGE, RIGHT, drives past Alabama’s Ashley Williams during a 2014 game in Allen Fieldhouse.

KU’s Aldridge sets sights on coaching

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas University sophomore Lauren Aldridge is educated enough to know that Becky Hammon being named the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs summer-league team in Las Vegas is not the most groundbreaking moment in her sport’s history.

Even still, Aldridge, a point guard who will play the final few seasons of her college career a few hundred feet from where James Naismith’s original rules of basketball will be housed, can’t help but wonder what such a move by someone of her gender could mean for the future of women in coaching at the highest level.

“I haven’t seen her coach a game yet,” the KU point guard said of Hammon. “But I do follow the story and what’s going on because I think it’s paving the way for people like me.”

By people like her, Aldridge is talking about future coaches. She says today that she would be happy coaching any gender at any level. As she puts it, she just wants to continue to share and teach the game she has loved since the day she could walk. But a closer look at the sparkle in her eye or the way she leans forward when talking about coaching does not leave anything to the imagination.

Aldridge, who started all 32 games last season as a true freshman and earned Big 12

All-Freshman honors, wants to be the next Becky Hammon. And she wants to prove to anyone who will take notice that she has what it takes to coach the best male basketball players on the planet.

“I do think that the men’s game presents challenges and it is tougher to get your foot in the door,” Aldridge said. “I think it’s a different level. You have to know your stuff at that level.”

Her father, Steve, a summer basketball coach himself, said the knowledge part of it will not be a challenge for his oldest daughter.

“She’s a sponge,” Steve Aldridge said. “Her IQ is extremely high. And when she started mentioning coaching on the men’s side, I told her

you’re gonna have to know even more than you think you know, because you’ll have to prove you belong.”

That’s all Aldridge needed to hear. And she’s been working toward that ever since. In many ways, her quest actually started way before that conversation ever took place.

In third grade, the KU point guard routinely set her alarm for 6 a.m. so she could do ball-handling and shooting drills before school in her hometown of Marshfield, Missouri. No one suggested she do it. Her father did not demand that she practice around the clock. It all came from within.

Johnson tops Open; Woodland 7 back

DUSTIN JOHNSON DRIVES A BALL FROM THE FOURTH TEE during the first round of the British Open. Johnson led by Please see KEEGAN, page 3C one stroke after firing a 7-under 65 on Thursday in St. Andrews, Scotland.

St. Andrews, Scotland (ap) — Jordan Spieth played like he had a Grand Slam to win. Dustin Johnson played like he had a score to settle.

The two main characters from Chambers Bay brought their games across eight time zones and an ocean Thursday and set the tone at St. Andrews for what could be another riveting battle at the British Open.

Former Kansas University standout Gary Woodland opened with an even-par 72 and was tied for 64th, seven strokes back.

Spieth quickly seized on his opportunity for a third straight major with six birdies in his first 11 holes, fought through a chilly wind on the inward nine and closed with a birdie for a 5-under 67 that put him two shots out of the lead.

How do sports’ smartest minds get smarter? Where can they test theories without tipping off competitors?

One by one, day after day, they visit the current Yoda in his restaurant, or down a side road from there on his fiveacre compound in Tavernier, Fla. “It’s amazing how it’s mushroomed, every day it seems someone else is coming,” Jimmy Johnson says.

Dolphins vice president of football operations Mike Tannenbaum took notes for two and a half hours last week in Johnson’s restaurant, The Big Chill, in the exact chair opposite Jimmy in which Florida International coach Ron Turner sat a few days earlier.

And Arkansas’ Bret Bielema before him.

San Antonio Spurs general manager R.C. Buford set up an easel in the cabana outside Johnson’s home with three outlined pages to discuss everything from dealing with an aging roster to hiring a coach.

It was his second visit.

“He’s been preparing three weeks for this meeting,” Buford’s assistant told Johnson.

Ohio State’s Urban Meyer?

He fished with Jimmy and picked his mind on life after football. New England’s Bill Belichick? He’s a regular, visiting about every other offseason since Jimmy retired from coaching in 1999 for a simple reason: Jimmy sat on the throne Belichick does. He grasps how uneasy lies that crown.

“The first year Bill came, he wanted to talk about drafting players, evaluating talent,” Jimmy said. “He had all my draft picks on piece of paper. Some I didn’t remember. He said, ‘They didn’t make your team, but they made other teams.’

“The concern he had is he didn’t want to waste picks drafting players who couldn’t make his team. I said, ‘Those picks are worth money. If you don’t think the guy’s got a chance, trade the pick for a pick the following year.’ That’s what we talked about.”

That’s a central philosophy of Belichick’s drafts.

“The next time, he wanted to talk about contracts,” Jimmy said. “He had some to deal with. … One year it was assistant coaches. We talked about how with success the assistants become friends with the players.

“I said how (Dallas running backs coach) Joe Brodsky loved Emmitt Smith so much he quit pushing him. He’d get all over the back-up. I’d say, ‘Joe, you’re not paying attention to the guy we need on Sunday.’ He said, ‘He’ll be fine, he’s a veteran.’

“I got mad at him, and that’s what I told Belichick. ‘You’ve got to be the hammer when you’ve had success.’ The assistant coaches aren’t going to be it anymore. It’s up to you to be the (jerk).”

Jimmy laughed. “Bill’s been very good at that.”

He keeps confidences on recent details. He’ll just say the Philadelphia Eagles’ Chip Kelly has called three times to discuss being both coach and personnel man. And Jimmy’s honest. He said it was more difficult with the Dolphins than Dallas because of free agency. He said he needed more in-season help finding bottom-roster players.

“Everybody wants to know what you look for in a player, what you look for in an assistant coach, what you look for in a head coach — what characteristics were important for you,” he said.

STAGE WINNER JOAQUIM RODRIGUEZ OF SPAIN CLIMBS TOWARDS PLATEAU DE BEILLE during the twelfth stage of the Tour de France Thursday. The stage covered 195 kilometers (121.2 miles) with started in Lannemezan and finished in Plateau de Beille, France.

Alps final major obstacle for Froome Plateau De Beille, France — One mountain range completed, one more to go.

Only the Alps loom as the last major obstacle between Chris Froome and a second Tour de France victory in Paris.

His rivals tried and failed to make the British rider and his super-strong Sky team wilt on the toughest — and last — day of climbing in the Pyrenees on Thursday, on Stage 12 won by Joaquim Rodriguez of Spain, who gritted his teeth in driving rain on the final climb for his second stage win.

With those mountains that straddle France and Spain behind them, the opportunities for podium contenders to eat into Froome’s comfortable race lead are starting to run out. That might make them only more dangerous. They could take bigger risks, like speeding hell for leather on downhill roads, in hopes that Froome might crash, or gang up on him, as they sought to on Thursday’s steep final ascent.

“There are only a certain amount of opportunities before we get to Paris,” Froome said.

“We’ve just got to expect everything to be thrown at us.”

But to get to the 2013 champion, Froome’s rivals must first get past his teammates. And that is a problem.

The big budget of his Sky team has bought the best help money can buy, riders so strong they could lead other teams if they weren’t working for Froome.

They ride hard at the front, controlling the race. They allow only those riders with no hope of victory in Paris — like Rodriguez — to escape up the road, because they’re chasing stage victories and other rewards, while Sky fixates on the big prize: Keeping Froome in the yellow jersey to the July 26 finish on the Champs-Elysees.

Rodriguez was part of a group of 22 riders — none of them podium contenders — that broke away shortly after the start in Lannemezan, a Pyrenees town of 6,500 inhabitants.

Rodriguez started the day 19th overall, trailing Froome by more than 20 minutes. His winning ride moved him up to 15th but, at 13:45 off the lead, he’s still not a podium threat.

The handful of riders who are, Froome and his team watch like hawks. Alberto Contador, Nairo Quintana and Vincenzo Nibali, his biggest rivals before Froome crushed them on the first day in the Pyrenees, tried testing him on the final ascent, taking turns with bursts of acceleration.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Big 12 media picks TCU Oklahoma City — TCU is the pick of the media to win the Big 12 Conference football championship.

Oklahoma is picked to finish third in the poll released Wednesday while Oklahoma State is picked fourth.

Baylor is picked to finish second.

TCU received 32 of 42 first place votes while Baylor received the other ten.

Texas is picked to finish fifth, followed by West Virginia; Kansas State; Texas Tech; Iowa State; and Kansas.

Freeze supports removing flag Hoover, Ala. — Mississippi football coach Hugh Freeze says he supports removing the Confederate battle emblem from the state flag.

Freeze spoke Thursday before appearing at Southeastern Conference Media Days. He says that while he is “not a political figure” he believes “it’s time we move in a different direction and change the flag.”

Freeze grew up in Mississippi and has “great appreciation” for people who have pride in the state’s heritage. But he adds “that symbol has been hijacked by some groups that mean ill will toward some people.”

Debate about Mississippi’s flag and other Confederate symbols reignited after the June 17 massacre of nine worshippers at a black church in Charleston, South Carolina.

Weis Indiana house for sale Granger, Ind. — The home of former Notre Dame football coach Charlie Weis is for sale at $2.35 million.

The South Bend Tribune reports the Grangerarea home, northeast of South Bend and just south of the Michigan line, was built in 2006, one year into Weis’ five-year tenure as coach.

Weis went 35-27 at his alma mater before being fired after the 2009 season.

The 8,417-square-foot-home has six bedrooms and seven bathrooms. Listed by realtor Cressy and Everett, the home is billed as “an equestrian lover’s dream house.” The brick ranch home on 10 acres and also features a baseball field, in-ground pool, eight-car garage, horse stables and a heated indoor equestrian arena.

Weis was fired at Kansas in September after posting a 6-22 record in his second head coaching stint.

NBA

Clippers add Josh Smith Free-agent forward Josh Smith agreed Thursday to a one-year deal for the veteran minimum with the Clippers, said an NBA official who was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.

Smith will earn $1.5 million from the Clippers this season, the official said. But he’s due to earn $5.4 million a year over the next five years from Detroit via the NBA’s “stretch provision.”

Smith, who was offered more money by several teams, was sold on his role with the Clippers by coach Doc Rivers, the official said.

Smith averaged 12 points and six rebounds in 55 games last season with the Houston Rockets after he was picked up on waivers from Detroit.

He played a key role in the Rockets coming back from a 3-1 series deficit against the Clippers in the Western Conference semifinals.

Saturday Night NBA in offing New York — ABC will add to its NBA coverage next season with the debut of a Saturday night game in January.

“Saturday Night NBA on ABC” will begin Jan. 23 and be the first of eight games that will be televised at 7:30 p.m. through the end of the season. The network had previously aired Sunday doubleheaders and now will air one game Saturday night and one game Sunday.

The schedule addition means ABC and ESPN will combine to broadcast NBA games four nights a week. ESPN televises doubleheaders on Wednesday and Friday nights during the season.

ESPN announced the plans Thursday and says its “NBA Countdown” pregame show will air before the Saturday night games.

SOCCER

Uruguay legend Ghiggia dies Montevideo, Uruguay — Alcides Edgardo Ghiggia, who scored the winning goal in the final game of the 1950 World Cup to give Uruguay a stunning 2-1 victory over Brazil — still recalled as Brazil’s greatest defeat — died on Thursday. He was 88.

Ghiggia’s son, Arcadio, said his father died of a heart attack.

Ghiggia scored the deciding goal 10 minutes from time with the game tied 1-1. It gave Uruguay its second World Cup title in a match Brazilians fully expected to win before about 200,000 fans at Rio’s Maracana stadium.

Even a draw would have given Brazil the title.

The loss is still known in Brazil as the “Maracanazo.”

Ghiggia also set up the tying goal by Juan Schiaffino earlier in the second half.

“Only three people have silenced the Maracana,” Ghiggia once said of the goal. “The Pope, Frank Sinatra and me.”

He was the last surviving Uruguayan player from the match and, poignantly, he died on Thursday, the 65th anniversary of the game.

Royals proving 2014 was no fluke Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — On a crisp, cool night last October, John Schuerholz walked through the gates of Kauffman Stadium.

Every seat was full, bunting hung proudly from the railings. There was a buzz.

It was all so familiar.

“That’s what we used to have all the time,” he told The Associated Press, reflecting on the Royals’ improbable run to the World Series. “To see that back, and the banners over the plaza and all over the town, it was heartwarming. It really was.”

Kansas City had once again become a baseball town.

And if anybody thought that it was a fluke, a lucky run to a memorable autumn climax, the Roy-

als have done enough to prove them wrong: Seven players chosen to this week’s All-Star Game, a big lead in the AL Central, some of the best young talent in the game in their clubhouse.

“I’m happy for the organization,” said Schuerholz, who was part of the initial front office when the franchise began in the late 1960s, then built another dynasty with the Atlanta Braves, where he still serves as the team’s president.

“They deserve what they have,” he said, “but it took a lot of work to get there.”

That work fell on the shoulders of Dayton Moore, one of Schuerholz’s top lieutenants in Atlanta. He turned down other general manager

openings, but the job in Kansas City resonated with Moore, who grew up in Wichita and rooted for the Royals as a kid.

Over most of a decade, he tirelessly rebuilt their farm system. He poured money into scouting and player development. He established academies in the Caribbean and pushed boundaries of the status quo in search of players — retreads, hot prospects and virtual unknowns.

None of that has changed with their recent success, either.

The frugal franchise could not afford to keep staff ace James Shields when he hit free agency, so they allowed him to sign in San Diego. Moore then signed Edinson Volquez, Chris Young and

Kris Medlen to serve as replacements. None of them made headlines nationally — the signings were met with a collective, ‘Meh’ — but they have far exceeded expectations.

Volquez has been the most dependable starter in the Kansas City rotation. Young has been perhaps the best. And Medlen is coming off his second Tommy John surgery but could give Kansas City a big secondhalf boost if he is even a fraction of the pitcher he once was.

That’s just the starting rotation, too.

Designated hitter Billy Butler became too expensive, so Moore signed Kendrys Morales, who has outplayed Butler in every way. Paulo Orlando may not be well known,

but he has helped Kansas City weather injuries and suspensions — including the latest, a potentially season-ending groin injury to star outfielder Alex Gordon.

“I’m not really smart.

I’m not. But I’m a believer in players,” Moore explained. “We knew those guys are winners. I can’t predict what their numbers will be, but everyone we bring in, we expect them to help us win.”

Therein lies perhaps the biggest change in Kansas City: Winning is expected.

No longer do fans turn up to waste away a lazy summer evening. No longer do they count the days until Arrowhead Stadium comes alive across the parking lot with the start of the NFL season.

“I’ll say I never dreamt of this. You just do everything you can each and every day to improve your organization,” Moore said. “But then again, in our business, accomplishments have no bearing on future success.”

That is why Moore hardly reveled in last year’s success. Even during the World Series, he was tied up most days in meetings, breaking down his roster and potential acquisitions.

In that respect, Moore is a lot like his manager.

“It doesn’t really matter what we’ve done,” said Ned Yost, who served as the AL’s AllStar manager. “You’ve just got to keep your head down and keep plodding along.”

Aldridge

ment. I was like, ‘Wow, that’s why I did all this.’

I take pride in what I do and where I’m going and I don’t think I would choose to do it any other way.”

Three years remain in Aldridge’s college — and playing — career. And although many students her age, no matter how close they are to graduation, still walk through life with that vague idea of “someday I want to be this or want to do that,” Aldrdige is way ahead of the game in that respect.

“It is what I’m going to do,” she said of coaching in the men’s game.

Added her father: “It may take her awhile and she’s not afraid to take the road less traveled, but with the kind of traits she has, there’s not a doubt in my mind she’ll be a men’s coach someday.”

When she is, whether that’s 10, 20 or even 50 years down the road, Aldridge said she would not lose sight of the fact that she would have Hammon to thank.

“She put her foot in the door for all the women following her and I just think that’s so cool,” Aldridge said. “She’s kind of like an idol to me. When you’re a kid playing, it’s ‘I want to work hard so I can play just like so and so.’ Now it’s ‘I want to work hard because I want to be just like Becky Hammon.’”

JORDAN SPIETH DRIVES FROM THE 10TH TEE DURING THE FIRST ROUND of the British Open. Spieth opened with a 5-under 67 and trailed by two strokes.

Open CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

Johnson, whose threeputt from 12 feet on the final hole cost him a shot at the U.S. Open, looked as daunting as ever. He simply overpowered the Old Course with such force that he hit wedge into 10 of the par 4s and had an eagle putt on another. With a pair of big par saves on the tough closing holes, he played bogey-free for a 65 and for at least a day made good on a warning he made earlier in the week.

Asked about Spieth’s chances to sweep the four majors, Johnson said, “Well, I’m playing the next two so we’ll have to see.”

This was hardly a twoman show.

The six players who were one shot behind at 66 included former British Open champion Paul Lawrie and two-time U.S. Open champion Retief Goosen. Jason Day, coming off his scary bout with vertigo symptoms at the U.S. Open, was back on his feet and back in the hunt. Most impressive from that group were Zach Johnson and Danny Willett, who posted their scores as the temperature dropped and wind stiffened late in the afternoon.

Spieth was joined at 67

by Louis Oosthuizen, the

last Open champion at St. Andrews.

“If D.J. keeps driving it the way he is, then I’m going to have to play my best golf to have a chance,” Spieth said.

The real test might come from the weather.

Spieth and Johnson got a break by playing in the morning when St. Andrews was ripe for scoring — 10 of the top 12 scores came from that side of the draw. That didn’t help Tiger Woods, who hit into the Swilcan Burn on the opening hole, made only one birdie and shot 76.

“Guys have been shooting good numbers,” said Woods, a two-time Open champion at St. Andrews.

“Unfortunately I did not do that.” Instead, he was headed for a missed cut for the third time in his last four majors.

The afternoon wave suffered in chill and wind so strong that Phil Mickelson hit driver and 3-wood and didn’t reach the 465-yard 13th hole. He said he had to hit 5-iron for his third shot on the par-5 14th. Johnson was pin-high with a 3-wood in the morning. Mickelson made only one bogey on the back nine and shot 70. He called the conditions “fun,” though his smile might not last if the morning group doesn’t face the same conditions.

“We were at a significant disadvantage today,” Mickelson said. “And hopefully, if we’re able to play an entire day to-

morrow, it will even itself out.”

The first 26 groups had an average score of 71.46.

The last 26 groups averaged 72.62.

Rickie Fowler, coming off a victory in the Scottish Open, said the final seven holes was “hanging on for dear life.” He made two bogeys, one eagle and 15 pars for a 72.

The forecast was for rain early today and wind calming as it clears, followed by stronger gusts in the afternoon. Saturday could have gusts approaching 40 mph.

Any duel between Spieth and Johnson is void of animosity. They played in the same group, and during one long wait on the 17th tee, they laughed and chatted as if this were an opening round at a regular PGA Tour event.

“No chat about the U.S. Open at all, as I wouldn’t imagine there would be, other than talking about the differences in the course,” Spieth said.

“But I enjoy playing with Dustin. I’ve played a lot of golf with him.”

And he knows what to expect from golf’s most athletic figure. Johnson hit driver on all but three holes, leaving him wedges into the par 4s (except for three longer holes into a hurting wind on the back nine) and a 7-iron that Johnson stuck to 10 feet for eagle on the par-5 fifth hole.

“I’m going to hit driver on every hole if I can,” Johnson said.

Spieth already has shown at the Masters and U.S. Open that power isn’t everything. And while he laid back on several holes — Johnson’s tee shots were on average 36 yards longer — Spieth can score.

He birdied four of the first six holes with putts inside 12 feet and took a share of the lead with a 10-foot putt on the par3 11th. His lone mistake came in bunkers — a pot bunker in the 13th fairway he had to play out sideways, and the Road Hole bunker on the 17th. He blasted out to 6 feet and missed.

“I’ve played enough golf with him to where I believe in my skill set, that I can still trump that crazy ability that he has,” Spieth said. “I expect when he stands on the tee it’s going to go up there miles and down the fairway. I also expect that I can birdie each hole when I stand on the tee — it just happens to be a different route.”

Not many can appreciate the route Spieth is taking. Only five other players since 1934 have won the first two majors of the year. Only Ben Hogan has won the Masters, U.S. Open and British Open in the same year. No one has won all four.

The key for Spieth in the first round was to stay close, and that’s what he did — not in driving distance, but by score, which ultimately is all that matters.

wanted to be headed in life,” Aldridge said. “And I was gonna do whatever it took to get there.”

Added her father: “She is the most disciplined kid I’ve ever seen. It’s just kind of the person that she is and she’s always been that way. Whether it’s school, basketball, faith, it doesn’t matter.

She’d kill herself and do whatever it takes to accomplish what she sets out to accomplish.”

For now, Aldridge is well on her way to doing just that between the lines. Told for years that she was too small or slow to hold onto dreams of playing big-time Division I basketball, the 5-foot-7 point guard already has proven those doubters wrong by having a standout debut season with the Jayhawks. And although she said she sometimes struggles to maintain the balance between having fun playing the game and trying to learn every minute detail about it for her coaching future, Aldrdidge admits her hardwood road has been just about perfect thus far.

“I often think about the first time I ran out of the tunnel at Kansas and I teared up,” she said.

“I’ll never forget that mo-

Watching how well his players handled the responsibility that comes with playing faster emboldened Self to say that he trusts them to work faster and more often without a script. It will take patience and the ability to trust his deep bench to stay with that plan.

Statistics don’t show all, but Ken Pomeroy has some interesting ones. In the glossary on his kenpom.com website, Pomeroy defines adjusted tempo (AdjT) as “an estimate of the

tempo (possessions per 40 minutes) a team would have against the team that wants to play an average D-I tempo.”

Counting backward, KU ranked 53rd, 93rd, 87th, 121st, 53rd, 99th, 82nd and 132nd.

While the rest of the nation must adjust from having 35 seconds to get a shot off to 30, the length of the new college clock, KU will have six more seconds that it had overseas.

If Kansas picks up the pace, that means more possessions per game, a factor that favors the favorite. Fewer possessions equates to a shorter game, giving the underdog a better shot at pulling off the upset.

Parity reigns —————

In a season where every team is equal, everyone has playoff chance

By Ronald Blum AP Baseball Writer

New York — Clayton Kershaw looks around the major leagues and sees opponents convinced they can reach the playoffs.

“It’s just a matter of everybody beating up on everybody,” the Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher said. “We want everybody to feel like they’re in it.”

It’s the year of parity in the major leagues, when almost no one has managed to break a w a y from the pack or fall way behind.

Kershaw, a threetime Cy Young Award winner and the Yost reigning NL MVP, has a won-lost record reflecting the parity — he’s 6-6.

Every team in the American League reached the All-Star break with a .450 winning percentage or higher. It’s the first time an entire league did that since 1944, according to STATS, and many rosters that season were depleted of stars because of World War II. “It’s fantastic to see,” Pittsburgh pitcher Gerrit Cole said. “All the teams at .500 all think they’re going to finish over .500, and all the teams that are over .500, and even us, we’re always fretting, looking behind our back.”

Boston headed to the All-Star break in last place yet just 61⁄2 games from first — only the second time since division play began in 1969 the AL East spread was that close. The first-tolast gap has been that narrow in any division just nine times overall in the expansion era, STATS said.

“We’re at the bottom of the barrel right now, but we’re not that far out,” Red Sox All-Star Brock Holt said. “It’s just about going out and taking care of our business, and the standings will kind of take care of themselves towards the end of the year.

Oakland has the worst record in the AL but at 41-50 is just 81⁄2 games behind the West-leading Los Angeles Angels.

While last in the AL Cen-

CLAYTON KERSHAW, OF THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS, THROWS during the fifth inning of the MLB All-Star baseball game Tuesday in Cincinnati. tral, the Chicago White Sox are 41-45 and only 51⁄2 games out for the AL’s second wild card.

“We have an unbelievable level of competitive balance,” new baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said. “When I look at the standings, I think we’re in for one heck of a ride in the second half of the season.”

There is a little more spread in the NL, where the St. Louis Cardinals have the major leagues’ best record at 56-33 and Philadelphia owns the worst at 29-62. Other than the Phillies, Miami and Milwaukee, every team is within single-digit games back of a playoff berth.

“It just shows that there’s not really that a monopoly of a franchise right now,” Baltimore closer Zach Britton said.

Kansas City was 48-46 at the All-Star break last year, 61⁄2 games behind AL Central-leading Detroit and 21⁄2 back of Seattle for the league’s second wild card. By October, the Royals were one win shy of their first World Series title since 1985.

Royals manager Ned Yost said the bunching gave his AL players extra incentive in the All-Star Game.

“Everybody in that locker room is going to have a chance to continue to move forward and be playoff bound,” he said before the AL’s 6-3 victory.

Toronto, Seattle and the Marlins are the only

teams that have not made the playoffs since 2005.

Increased revenue sharing, the luxury tax on payrolls and restraints on amateur signing bonuses have helped more teams become competitive.

While the Dodgers opened the season with a payroll of nearly $273 million for their 40-man roster, according to Major League Baseball’s calculations, there was a huge dropoff after that to the Yankees at $220 million and Boston at $187 million. Six teams were at $140 million to $175 million, seven at $120 million to $125 million, and six more above $100 million.

“A lot of teams that are expected to win are learning that the revenues that they are making ... they’re actually going to have to spend some of those revenues to create the gap and not stay where they’re at, because teams are getting close to them,” agent Scott Boras said.

All that crowding in the standings has its impact on talks as general managers approach July 31, the last day to deal players without passing them through waivers first.

“It makes the trade deadline a lot harder, obviously,” Kershaw said.

“Not as many teams think they’re out of it. It makes it tougher to get pieces, which means you’ve got to build your team earlier in the offseason, in my opinion.”

Serena withdraws in Sweden Bastad, Sweden (ap) — Serena Williams on Thursday made an unexpected withdrawal from the WTA clay event in southern Sweden, prior to facing a Czech No. 105 who has beaten her on the surface.

Even tournament organizers had admitted this week they were somewhat surprised the world No. 1 honored her commitment by showing up to the event in the Swedish woodlands to play.

Williams won an opening second-round match over Belgian qualifier Ysaline Bonaventure 6-2, 6-1.

But the dream ended as the 33-year-old withdrew citing an old elbow injury just a few days after winning her sixth Wimbledon title at the weekend.

When making a choice, think what will be the result in a week, a month or a year later. Really good decisions lead to really good results in the long run.
