Police searching for suspect in Monday robbery

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

Lawrence police are searching for a suspect in an armed robbery that occurred Monday afternoon in North Lawrence.

A man, armed with a gun, robbed the Dollar General

at 1001 N. Third St. around 2:30 p.m., Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads said. No one was injured during the robbery, and the suspect fled after stealing an undisclosed amount of cash from the store, Rhoads said.

The suspect was described as a white man with

a goatee who was wearing jeans and a green shirt with a white, long-sleeved undershirt.

No further details were available. Lawrence police are continuing to investigate.

Anyone with information is asked to call Lawrence Police at 785-832-7509

or Douglas County Crime Stoppers at 785-843-8477.

— Public safety reporter Conrad Swanson can be reached at 832-7284 or cswanson@ljworld.com.

The Lawrence City Commission today will set the maximum amount of the city’s 2017 budget — a proposal for which includes cuts, including to Lawrence’s street maintenance program.

City Manager Tom Markus’ recommended 2017 budget totals $191 million and no increase to the city’s mill levy. The commission’s vote today, CITY in part, will be wheth- COMMISSION er to increase the mill levy to generate more revenue to fund personnel and services Markus suggested eliminating.

In an effort to present a balanced budget, Markus called for about 40 requests from city departments, totaling $5.4 million, to go unmet, as well as $400,000 worth of requests from social service agencies. He’s proposing the elimination of one part-time position and nine fulltime positions.

State prepares for sale of Amid concerns, Community Shelter to hold town hall Bioscience Authority

By Nikki Wentling

Twitter: @nikkiwentling

Leaders of the Lawrence Community Shelter will hold a public meeting Wednesday to “identify the main issues” about which people are concerned, its director said.

The town hall-style meeting will be from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Community Room of the Union Pacific Depot, 402 N. Second St., in North Lawrence.

Trey Meyer, executive director for the shelter, said there will be a short presentation about the shelter’s mission,

followed by small-group discussions and a question-andanswer period.

“The town hall will have two goals: first, to let our community here in Lawrence and throughout Douglas County know about the services, programs, and resources we provide for individuals and families currently experiencing — or at risk of — homelessness,” Meyer wrote in a news release. “And second, to entertain, consider and respond to any and all questions or suggestions you may have.”

annually in order to be sustainable.

According to city-provided data, the program was allocated $5.7 million in 2012, and then dropped to $4.4 million in 2013; $4.3 million in 2014; and $3.6 million in 2015 before being budgeted the lowest amount yet: $2.8 million in 2016.

In the proposed 2017 budget, $3.14 million is allocated for the program.

Under a new, five-year capital improvement program, the program would maintain that level of funding through 2021.

bioscience companies, although it never held a majority position with any of those companies.

But in recent years, it has been a source of controversy in the Legislature, with some lawmakers objecting to the way KBA has been managed, and others objecting philosophically to the idea of a state agency making direct investments in private firms.

During the 2016 session, lawmakers authorized selling off KBA’s portfolio as part of an effort to balance the budget this fiscal year. That sale is expected to generate at least $25 million, which is assumed as part of this

year’s revenue stream.

Any proceeds from the sale in excess of $25 million is earmarked for the school finance plan that lawmakers passed during the special session in June.

The governor and legislative leaders will consider the merger proposal at 10 a.m. Wednesday when they meet as the State Finance Council. Some of the council members, including Brownback, are expected to participate by telephone because they are attending the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.

was discovered this winter the shelter was not holding quarterly meetings with residents of the area — an agreement made when the shelter moved to its new location.

In February, the neighbors got a meeting with shelter officials to air allegations that shelter residents were trespassing, urinating and sleeping on their property.

The shelter has also faced some financial trouble that a city audit found to be caused by the move and a volatile fundraising environment.

Last summer, the shelter’s board requested — and received — $100,000 total in emergency

funding from the city and Douglas County.

Before the money was requested, the Internal Revenue Service had informed the shelter that it owed $37,000 in back payroll taxes.

The audit warned the agency could face more financial problems this year.

For 2017, the Lawrence Community Shelter requested $335,100 — up from $199,600 it received for 2016. City Manager Tom Markus’ recommended 2017 budget calls for the shelter to receive the same amount it is this year.

political ad airing on TV stations in Topeka and other parts of Kansas raises an interesting question: Why do the owners of the Chicago Cubs and World Wrestling Entertainment care about who represents western Kansas in Congress?

You wouldn’t immediately know that just from watching the ad, which criticizes U.S. Rep. Tim Huelskamp for getting thrown off the Agriculture Committee and endorses his Republican primary opponent, Great Bend physician Roger Marshall.

Familiar names in restaurant inspections T

cross-contamination of raw and cooked foods, insect and rodent issues, and unclean food preparation areas.

Some violations may be corrected during the inspection; others take longer to fix and require follow-up inspections.

All businesses, even those listed as out of compliance, met the basic requirements to safely remain open,

unless otherwise noted.

With this regular report I try to provide basic information about food inspections in Douglas County. But because of the sheer volume of inspections, it’s difficult to offer detailed information about each establishment.

Here are Douglas County restaurant inspection results for the first half of July: l TCBY, 845 Massachusetts St., last had a regular inspection on July 15 and seven violations were found. The establishment is currently listed as out of compliance. l Zen Zero, 811 Massachusetts St., last had a regular inspection on July 14 and 10 violations were found. The restaurant is currently listed as out of compliance. l Sonic Drive-in, 3201

W. 6th St., last had a complaint inspection on July 13 and 11 violations were found. The restaurant is currently listed as out of compliance. l Dempsey’s Burger Pub, 623 Vermont St., last had a follow-up inspection on July 5 and eight violations were found. The restaurant is currently listed as out of compliance. l Fuzzy’s Taco Shop, 1115 Massachusetts St., last had a follow-up inspection on July 3. The restaurant is currently listed as out of compliance. l El Matador Cafe, 446 Locust St., last had a follow-up inspection on July 1 and four violations were found. The establishment is currently listed as out of compliance.

Another contributor According to the to the ESA Fund is Linda website OpenSecrets.

McMahon of Greenwich, org, the ESA Fund is a Conn., who, along with

her husband Vince McMahon, founded a small regional pro wrestling promotion company in 1980 and built it into the WWE, which is now a multibillion dollar entertainment behemoth.

She served as CEO of the enterprise until stepping down in 2009 to run for U.S. Senate from Connecticut. She was the Republican nominee in 2010 and 2012, losing both times to Democratic candidates.

The largest donor to the ESA Fund is billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Singer of New York, who Forbes magazine estimates has a net worth of $2.2 billion. Singer is also a major contributor to the American Unity PAC, which supports pro-gay rights candidates.

Other contributors include hedge fund managers Kenneth C. Griffin of Chicago and William Powers of Florida.

So far this election cycle, the ESA Fund has spent about $2.6 million in various campaigns,

much of it for Republican candidates and against Democratic candidates.

But nearly half of that money, $1.1 million, has been spent opposing U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-New Hampshire. And a small amount, $319,748, has been spent opposing Huelskamp, with $64,717 going to support Marshall, his opponent.

At this point, it’s difficult to see why the 1st District race in Kansas would have any particular importance to billionaire investors in Omaha, Chicago, New York or Florida, or why, out of the hundreds of races happening this year for the U.S. House, U.S. Senate and governor’s offices, they chose to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in western Kansas.

Perhaps we’ll have to wait until after the election to find out.

would involve a swap of the county’s old public works equipment yard at 711 E. 23rd St. Douglas County Administrator Craig Weinaug said county and school district staff have agreed to the terms of the property swap, which will involve a payment from the school district based on Craig Keller and Associates’ appraisal of the properties. School district and county attorneys forwarded a contract to him on Monday after their review, Weinaug said. The County Commission and school board would probably consider the contract in August, he said.

He could not release the amount of the payment from the school district until the contract is shared with the County Commission, Weinaug said. The property would serve a public purpose should the crisis center not be built, perhaps as additional parking for

Bert Nash, he said.

According to county records, the county property on 23rd Street has an appraised value of $1.16 million, and the school district property at Second and Maine has an appraised value of $369,000.

The county retained Treanor Architects to design the crisis intervention center in January, and the firm has been working on the facility’s

and expansion of the Douglas County Jail and creation of a mental health court.

The jail expansion and crisis intervention center would require that commissioners get voter approval of a bond issue for funding the construction and operational costs through sales taxes, property taxes or both.

Commissioners agreed in March to delay any referendum until next year to give the Douglas County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council time to review the county’s criminal justice system.

The crisis intervention center would provide a local facility where those experiencing a mental health crisis could stay and receive treatment.

Currently, no such beds

are available in the county, and they are becoming difficult to obtain in Kansas with state budget cuts limiting the number of patients that state mental hospitals can house. The crisis intervention center also is expected to help relieve overcrowding issues at the county jail by providing an alternative placement for low-level offenders experiencing mental health issues.

In January, the County Commission and Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center agreed to a memorandum of understanding that would have the county fund construction of the crisis center on land that Bert Nash owns on West Second Street north of its headquarters.

The county is seeking to augment that site by acquiring the Lawrence school district’s facilities and operations center at 146 Maine St., which abuts the Bert Nash property. That acquisition

KU’s Office of Multicultural Affairs announces changes to staffing, open positions Staff Reports

The director of Kansas University’s Office of Multicultural Affairs announced some recent internal promotions that she hopes will allow conversations on diversity to continue without a hiccup.

Precious Porras, who was appointed to her position as director of the OMA in December, announced that Cody Charles, who was serving as associate director for academic enrichment programs, on Sunday took over her former position as associate director for diversity education and social justice programs.

“As the University continues to craft our diversity framework, develop an institutional plan for training and education, and given the climate we are facing in the fall, it was in the best interest of the office to appoint someone who is already involved in all of these conversations,” Porras said in the announcement. “By hiring Cody Charles, we can continue the conversation, not put it on pause.”

was serving as a retention specialist in the office, was appointed Sunday to Charles’ vacated position. Porras said in her announcement that Gomez has been part of Hawk Link, the office’s retentionbased program designed to assist students of color and first-generation students in transitioning into freshman year at KU, and has helped the program become successful.

“It is a natural transition for (Gomez) to replace Cody Charles and one that will ensure that we continue to serve our students without taking a pause,” Porras said in the announcement.

The office’s other current retention specialist, Camille Clark, is leaving KU to work at American University, Porras said in the announcement.

The office is now looking to fill a new position of academic inclusion coordinator, which will work to create more inclusive classrooms and curriculums. The office is also seeking two academic advisers. More information is available at employment.ku.edu.

BRIEFLY Police investigate strong-arm robbery A Sunday night robbery near the Kansas University campus is under investigation, police said.

At 11:06 p.m., police responded to the intersection of Ninth and Missouri streets — several blocks north of Memorial Stadium — for a report of a strong-arm robbery, according to Lawrence Police Department activity logs. Six officers responded to the scene.

Lawrence Police Sgt. Laurie Powell said someone reported that his or her property was stolen through the use of “physical force.” She did not provide any description of the suspect or the reporting party, nor did she immediately respond to an inquiry asking for more information.

No weapons were displayed during the incident, Powell said. Police are still investigating what items were reportedly stolen.

Further information was not immediately available.

Baldwin school board sets special meetings

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

With the traditional big July meeting agenda item off the table, the most important decisions the Baldwin school board made Monday involved the scheduling of two special meetings for early August.

The board normally would have considered approving for publication the district’s 2016-2017 fiscal year budget at the meeting. However, because the Kansas Legislature didn’t approve a school funding formula acceptable to the Kansas Supreme Court until a June special session, the district has added time to work on the budget. The board will consider approving a budget for

publication at 8 a.m. Aug. 2 at the district office.

The board also agreed to schedule a joint meeting on the proposed community center with the Baldwin City Council and Baldwin City Recreation Commission Board of Directors for 6:30 p.m. Aug. 9. The location of the meeting has not been established.

The district has agreed to donate land it owns north of the Baldwin High School campus for a future community center. Last month, BCRC Executive Director Steve Friend said the school board would be asked to approve an increase in the BCRC’s annual property tax levy of 2 mills to provide $2.5 million to help construct a community center. The BCRC has

no taxing authority, but it has an agreement with the Baldwin school district to approve its annual 4 mill levy for operations.

On Monday, Friend proposed to the Baldwin City Council it provide the other $2.5 million needed for the community center’s construction with a half-cent sales tax.

Although the sales tax increase would have to be approved through a citywide vote, no such referendum is required for the districtwide property tax component unless there is a successful protest petition.

Baldwin School Board President Nick Harris said the joint meeting would help get all the issues involved with the community center before the public.

Small towns prepare for total solar eclipse Lathrop, Mo. (ap) — Some small Missouri and Kansas towns that’ll offer the best views of next year’s total solar eclipse are trying to prepare for the event.

The Kansas City Star reports that the eclipse will occur Aug. 21, 2017. Small towns like Lathrop, Mo., are on what is known as the path of totality, a narrow line across Missouri and a corner of Kansas that offers the best and longest views of the eclipse.

Lathrop has formed a 150th anniversary and eclipse planning committee.

Committee chairwoman Cindy Weers says she envisions the town’s fields filled with eclipse chasers and

BRIEFLY Woman admits to stealing funds A former office manager for a Lawrence property company admitted to stealing from the business over an eight-year period, according to a news release from Tom Beall, acting U.S. attorney in the District of Kansas.

Candy Gunderson, 44, of Lawrence, pleaded guilty to one count of interstate transportation of stolen funds, admitting to stealing from Garber Enterprises between 2007 and 2015, the release says.

Gunderson stole money from the company by depositing checks payable to the business into her own bank accounts, issuing forged checks and using company funds to pay for work on her own rental properties, the release says. She also used the company’s credit cards for personal expenses, deposited company cash into her own accounts and forged checks to pay her own phone bills.

Gunderson is scheduled for a sentencing hearing on Nov. 7. She faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. The judge will determine the amount of restitution to be paid.

tourists. Weers says she’s been told to expect anywhere from 1,000 to 10,000.

“It’s hard to fathom that many people,” St. Louis eclipse task force head Trish Erzfeld said. “It’s hard to get your hands around how many people will actually show up. Who knows?”

Weers says the town has started on many projects, but could use advice for planning for such a large-scale event.

“It’s not like a county fair or a football game,” she said. “When you talk about a total eclipse going across the whole U.S., there’s no playbook or tutorial. It’s unfolding, and you have to work it out as you go.”

Erzfeld will meet throughout the year with local authorities and with other communities that want advice on planning their own eclipse events. But once Erzfeld has her plans finalized, she’ll have to wait and see how it all plays out.

St. Joseph and Lathrop are favored spots only if the weather cooperates, though. Depending on the forecast, eclipse chasers may end up driving to different towns across the state for a perfect view.

“Diehards will be glued to their phones to see where the sky is clear,” Henderson said. “In the Midwest, weather is always uncertain.”

Football goal Wichita State University once again is weighing the cost of fielding a football team against the potential benefits.

W

hat’s a football team worth to a U.S. university?

Schools that already have football programs point to the loyalty the team inspires among alumni and friends and the positive effect football has on private giving. Football is expensive, they say, but its intangible benefits for the university are worth it. Even schools, like Kansas University, with perennially struggling football programs think it’s important to keep trying.

But what if those schools had a clean slate and had to decide whether or not investing in a new football program was more important than investing in academics, scholarships or other programs?

That’s the decision facing Wichita State University. The Shockers never were the same after a 1970 plane crash that killed half the team. After 18 losing seasons, the WSU That’s the question. president announced in Even considering 1986 that the money from program was television contracts placing too or other income, is great a finanstrain on a football program cial the rest of a good investment the university for a university? and would be suspended.

Or would Wichita The proState — or any gram never other university — came back, but fans didn’t be better off just up. Since directing the money give 1987, the posit would spend on sibility of football to academic reviving the football team programs? has been studied eight times.

The most recent report, released late last month, outlines the costs of restarting the program. Initial facility costs were estimated at $40 million and annual budgets at around $6 million.

Is it worth it? Like many other WSU fans, students are excited. “A football team contributes so much to student life,” said Student Government Association president Joseph Shepard. But he added “Every student is concerned when we hear that tuition or student fees might increase (to fund the program). A football program isn’t necessarily enhancing the quality of education.”

That’s the question. Even considering money from television contracts or other income, is a football program a good investment for a university? Or would Wichita State — or any other university — be better off just directing the money it would spend on football to academic programs?

That’s a tough question for universities with existing football programs to even ask themselves but that doesn’t mean they aren’t interested in the answer a school like Wichita State comes up with.

Trump’s No. 1 lie about Mexico and jobs Oxford, England — One of Donald Trump’s most misleading campaign themes is that Mexico is stealing U.S. jobs, and that Washington should renegotiate or scrap its free trade deal with Mexico to prevent even larger job losses. In reality, what’s threatening U.S. jobs isn’t Mexico, but automation.

I thought a lot about Trump’s deceptive trade proposals this week while visiting Oxford University to interview the co-author of a much-cited OxfordMartin School study on the future of employment. The study says 47 percent of U.S. jobs are at risk of disappearing over the next 20 years because of automation.

Carl Benedikt Frey and Michael A. Osborne looked at 702 jobs listed by the U.S. Department of Labor and ranked them according to their likelihood of being replaced by computer programs and robots. Since the study’s publication in late 2013, its conclusions “have only been further validated,” Osborn told me.

In essence, almost every job that is mechanical, or follows a physical or intellectual routine, is likely to disappear in the near future, the authors say.

Among the jobs that will be most threatened are those of factory workers, waiters, salespeople (who are already being replaced by internet shopping and

Laying blame To the editor: In their July 17 letter, Craig Tucker and Judy Northway blame George W. Bush for “fraudulently” invading Iraq.

Bill Clinton’s State Department on Jan. 8, 2001, issued a press release that began with these words: “The United States will continue to press Iraq to destroy all its weapons of mass destruction as a condition of lifting economic sanctions, even after the end of the Clinton administration January 20...”

“

Aside from the fact that Trump’s proposals are based on deceptive data ... his claim that offshored manufacturing jobs will come back to Ohio or Wisconsin is a fantasy.” robotic telemarketers), secretaries, and many banking and legal jobs.

Critics point out that there have been similarly alarming forecasts about a jobless future since the 1760-1840 Industrial Revolution, and that — until now — such fears have been proven wrong. However, many argue that technology is advancing at such an unprecedented speed, it is now destroying more jobs than can be created.

None of this seems to matter to Trump, the “I love the uneducated” presumptive Republican candidate who is fooling anxious workers

in U.S. industrial states into thinking that scrapping the free trade deal with Mexico and imposing a 35 percent tax on Mexican imports would help create U.S. jobs.

Aside from the fact that Trump’s proposals are based on deceptive data — he neglects to point out, for instance, that up to 6 million U.S. jobs depend on free trade with Mexico, according to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce — his claim that offshored manufacturing jobs will come back to Ohio or Wisconsin is a fantasy.

“No country has become prosperous by protecting and conserving employment in the old and declining industries,” Frey told me in a recent interview. “At the end of the day, where industrial jobs are disappearing, the task of policymakers is not to bring back old jobs, but to create new employment opportunities in new types of industries.”

He added, “What would help the United States would be to, first of all, make sure that low-skilled workers that have been deprived of work in manufacturing industries are trained in a way that they can work in new types of industries. And second, invest in new technology and new industries to create new types of jobs.”

My opinion: I fully agree.

Trump — and to a lesser extent presumptive Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, in her quest for support

from her party’s left wing — are deceiving U.S. voters by putting the blame of lost U.S. jobs and declining wages on Mexico, or China.

If the United States scrapped its free trade deals and slapped high tariffs on imported goods, U.S. consumers would have to pay much more for almost everything — cars, cell phones, clothing, you name it — and other countries would start a trade war that could depress the world economy, much like what happened in the Great Depression of the 1930s.

And if Trump kept his promise of punishing U.S. companies that keep manufacturing plants in Mexico or China to remain competitive, these companies would not repatriate those jobs to the United States. They would replace them with robots, which are increasingly cheaper and more sophisticated, and don’t ask for wage increases.

The real discussion in the U.S. presidential campaign should not be how to avoid U.S. jobs from going to Mexico, or China.

It should be about how to better educate our youth and retrain U.S. workers, so that they can have more and better jobs to replace those that will inexorably disappear because of offshoring or automation.

of Iraq, Hillary Clinton said the following when defending her vote to authorize the use of force against Iraq: “The consensus was the same, from the Clinton administration to the Bush administration. It was the same intelligence belief that our allies and friends around the world shared.”

If the intelligence regarding Iraq was fraudulent, the fraud preceded the Bush 43 administration.

Tucker and Northway also blame Bush for the economic downturn. In truth, blame can be spread over several administrations. A 2012 study by the National Bureau of Economic Research concluded that the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), signed into law by Jimmy Carter, played a major role in the economic downturn because “adherence to the act led to riskier lending by banks.” Time magazine also blamed Bill Clinton because he loosened rules by rewriting the CRA, “which put added pressure on banks to lend in low-income neighborhoods.” Barack Obama also deserves a little blame because of his work with ACORN, which used the CRA to force Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into a pattern of high-risk loans.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for July 19, 1916: years “The interurban ago tracks are being IN 1916 laid in both directions across the Kaw river and it is only a matter of a few days until they will meet on the second span of the old bridge and regular service between Seventh and Massachusetts in Lawrence and Tenth and Main in Kansas City will be a reality. The work is coming along better than was expected.... A light temporary track is being laid from Sixth street to the bridge. This track is being put on top of the pavement because it will only remain there until the new bridge is complete.... When the cars from the north side arrive at the car barn in the 600 block they will find everything ready for them there. The waiting room, the ticket room and the baggage and freight rooms are all ready. The tracks and switches are all in place and the overhead wires are ready except the ‘juice’ has not been turned on yet. The car barn itself is not quite complete, but it is as ready as it needs to be for immediate use.”

The messenger To the editor: I appreciate the article

by Nikki Wentling on July 16 highlighting the failure of the city to collect its just debts; the auditor, with the sad duty to point out the fact; and the action of the new city manager’s 2017 budget proposal to eliminate the position of city auditor.

There is an old Chinese saying that the emperor always ordered the execution of the messenger who brought the bad news. It seems to be a principle alive and well in Lawrence.

Donald Trump kisses wife Melania after she spoke on the opening night of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. More convention coverage inside

CLEVELAND Donald Trump, unconventional from the start, did the unprecedented on the first night of the convention poised to nominate him for president: He showed up on stage.

“We’re going to win,” he said.

“We’re going to win so big.”

He emerged late in the evening to introduce his wife, Melania, who offered a testimonial to her husband’s warmth and humanity. “Like me, he loves this country very much,” the Slovenian-born model said, describing her decision to immigrate to “the greatest country on Earth.”

She was cheered, but the Republican National Convention opened, hours earlier, in protest.

On the convention floor, a revolt had erupted after the presiding chairman gaveled quick approval of the party rules over the shouts of Donald Trump opponents who believed they had gathered enough signatures to demand a roll-call vote. (”Brownshirts,” former New Hampshire senator Gordon Humphrey

Army seeks balm for veterans’ rage Gregg Zoroya @greggzoroya USA TODAY

This month’s shooting deaths of police in Baton Rouge and Dallas by former service members who saw combat in Iraq and Afghanistan comes as the Army tries to better understand why up to 40% of troops return from war struggling with anger and aggression.

Police say rage may have driven Gavin Long, 29, who served five years in the Marine Corps, to kill three police Sunday in Baton Rouge and Micah Xavier Johnson, 25, a former Army reservist, to fatally shoot five officers in Dallas in early July.

Whether there is a link between their military service and the shootings is unknown. Military researchers have studied the issue of anger for almost a decade.

Of troops surveyed after returning from war or while in the war zone, 14% to 40% report signs of anger, such as kicking, smashing or throwing things or threatening someone with physical violence; 4% to 18% were getting into fights.

In recent years, the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research has drawn on its longtime collaboration with scientists at Tel Aviv University in Israel to explore whether this tendency toward anger and aggression can be reduced in soldiers after they come home.

“The end game is to be able to develop a targeted intervention to basically reduce the risk of anger and the expression of aggressive behaviors,” said Phil

Ex-service members behind recent killings of police Quartana, an Army research psychologist leading the effort.

“We’re looking to figure out what role does anger and aggression play in how soldiers adjust over time and also who’s at risk,” said Amy Adler, an Army clinical research psychologist.

Researchers say it remains unclear what causes the anger and aggression, although it can be

linked to combat-zone ailments, including disrupted sleep patterns, recurring nightmares and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Yair Bar-Haim, a professor and research leader at Tel Aviv University, had shown success in reducing the rate of PTSD in Israeli soldiers using a computerized treatment program administered before the soldiers went to war.

The results showed a two-thirds reduction in PTSD. About five years ago, when BarHaim was in the midst of studying PTSD, Army scientists asked if he could apply the same computer-program science to dealing with anger. Bar-Haim agreed and said his research shows that it might be possible to reduce anger levels among soldiers after war.

Pa. cleric says he would have tried to stop coup attempt Even if ‘bloodsucking vampires’ in office Oren Dorell @orendorell USA TODAY

SAYLORSBURG, PA .

The cleric accused by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of being behind the coup attempt last weekend insisted Monday that he would have tried to stop any takeover had he known about it.

“I condemn and reject in the strongest terms the attempted coup,” Fethullah Gulen, 77, said.

Seated in a reception room in his 25-acre Golden Generation Worship and Retreat Center in the Pocono Mountains of eastern Pennsylvania, he denied any involvement in Friday’s coup, as he had done repeatedly all weekend.

“I even reject and condemn in the strongest terms the idea, the consideration of a military coup,” Gulen said through an interpreter. “If I had the chance, I would stand in front of the people who would attempt such a thing and open my arms and beg them to stop.”

Erdogan, who beat down the attempted coup by Saturday morning, rounded up and dis-

missed thousands of members of the military, police and judiciary he accuses of being followers of Gulen and plotting against Turkey’s democratically elected government.

Gulen, a former political ally of Erdogan, preaches a moderate form of Islam and has lived in self-exile in Pennsylvania since 1999. His followers run a network of charter schools and cultural centers in the USA and are prolific political donors.

“Even if, at the helm of the country there are people who would like to replace me and suppress me and oppress me at the level of bloodsucking vampires,

then I do not want to remove them with anti-democratic means,” he said. “This is my attitude toward any and even the idea of the consideration of a military coup.”

Erdogan and Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim have said they intend to file an extradition request with the United States to have Gulen sent back to Turkey.

Gulen called that effort and the prosecution of his followers in Turkey “a witch hunt” that began two years ago and has escalated ever since.

Erdogan has called Gulen’s followers terrorists who infiltrated all aspects of government.

Members of the Virginia delegation vote on adoption of the rules during the 2016 Republican National Convention on Monday.

Anti-Trump action signals chaotic start Campaign quells rules rebellion by several delegates John Bacon and Richard Wolf USA TODAY

The Republican National Convention that will nominate billionaire populist Donald Trump for president opened Monday in a display of division that forced party leaders to put down a floor fight triggered by the real estate mogul’s opponents.

The disruption played out amid the convention’s self-proclaimed law-and-order theme, hours before network television stations were set to go live with Melania Trump’s maiden turn on the national stage in support of her husband. In a switch from convention protocol, Trump attended and introduced his wife.

big,” Trump said before introducing “an amazing mother, an incredible woman, Melania Trump.”

The potential first lady heralded her husband as a fighter for his family, his business enterprises — and his country. “If you want someone to fight for you and your country, I can assure you, he’s the guy,” she said. “He will never, ever give up, and most assuredly, he will never, ever let you down.”

Trump was set to be nominated Tuesday, a day after a group of delegates tried unsuccessfully to force a roll-call vote on the convention rules that could have freed them to vote their conscience.

“Never Trump” delegates chanted “roll-call vote!” and “point of order!” from the floor, but their attempt was quickly stymied by convention leaders, prompting former Virginia attorney general Ken Cuccinelli — a Trump supporter seeking rules changes for the future — to throw his credentials to the floor and walk out.

The group issued a statement later in the day accusing convention leaders of “strong-arming delegates and skirting the rules” to silence critics. But Trump campaign adviser Paul Manafort downplayed the furor and said a floor vote “would have been a meaningless gesture” because Trump forces easily would have prevailed.

The evening session Monday belonged to Trump. Its theme was “Make America Safe Again,” and speakers focused on war and peace overseas, illegal immigration along the border, law enforcement in America’s cities — and the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, which Trump has accused likely Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton of bungling, Delegates shouted “USA! USA! USA!” and “Build the wall!” while “Make America Safe Again” signs were prominently displayed.

Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani spoke loudest and firmest in criticizing Clinton, President Obama, the media and other targets that had the delegates on their feet. “I am sick and tired of the defamation of Donald Trump by the media and by the Clinton campaign,” he said. “This is a good man.”

Patricia Smith, whose son Sean was one of four Americans killed during the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, said her son told her the night before that his life was in jeopardy due to poor security.

“I blame Hillary Clinton personally for the death of my son,” she said.

Mark Geist, one of two Ben-

ghazi heroes who recounted the fateful night, shared his harrowing tale. “We have to elect someone who will have our backs, someone who will bring our guys home, won’t leave anybody behind,” he said.

And Sheriff David Clarke of Milwaukee, one of several African-American speakers to draw prestigious speaking slots, received one of the biggest cheers of the night when he said, “Blue lives matter in America” — a reference to his colleagues in law enforcement.

The four-day extravaganza is designed as a paean to Trump, who claimed the GOP throne with an unrelenting social media campaign that pounded challengers into submission with blistering criticism. It will feature all

Still, plenty of Republican Party icons are among the skeptics, and the list of GOP dignitaries skipping the convention is long — including the last two Republican presidents and the party’s nominees from 2008 and 2012. Even Ohio’s John Kasich, governor of the state hosting the convention and the last challenger to Trump to drop out of the presidential race, passed on the party; Manafort accused him of “embarrassing” his state.

Melania Trump’s appearance during the key time period late Monday night could turn out to be critical. It was the first time many Americans heard the Slovenia native’s voice, and their first impression may help or hurt Trump, who is struggling to lure female voters. His 34% support among women in an ABC News/Washington Post poll released Sunday is lower than the level of female support on Election Day for any Republican presidential candidate since World War II. The delegates applauded warmly during her low-key address.

Melania Trump: ‘He is the guy’ to lead Rick Hampson @rickhampson USA TODAY

CLEVELAND Donald Trump put in an early — and short — appearance at his convention Monday, introducing wife Melania to rapturous delegates and pledging a victory in November.

“We’re going to win; we’re going to win so big,” Trump told delegates as he took the stage to Queen’s We Are The Champions.

Moments later, Melania Trump delivered a 15-minute speech in which she praised her husband as someone who “knows how to win” and is “ready to lead this great nation.”

Trump discussed her upbringing in Slovenia, her modeling career and other business interests and how she became a naturalized U.S. citizen a decade ago.

She also talked about her life with the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

“If you want someone to fight for you and your country, I can assure you: He is the guy,” she said. “He will never, ever give up, and most assuredly, he will never, ever let you down.”

If she becomes first lady, Trump said, she will focus on women and children in need, as well as education.

In pledging to help unite the nation and world, she cited Christians, Jews, Muslims, African Americans, Hispanics, Asians and the poor.

“Donald intends to represent all of the people, not just some of the people,” she said.

Trump, who spent nearly 30 minutes Saturday introducing running mate Mike Pence, took only one minute to welcome “the next first lady of the United States” to the stage.

After her speech, the two stood on stage to loud applause. Presumptive nominees rarely attend the opening night of conventions.

raged, saying they were “acting like fascists.”) Trump leaders already had been blasting such senior Republicans as the Bush family, the GOP’s most prominent dynasty and one noticeably absent from the conclave. (“Part of the past,” Trump convention manager Paul Manafort scoffed.)

And in the wider world, the deadly ambush of police officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge, La., another terrorism attack in France and a failed coup in Turkey set a grim backdrop that underscored the high stakes of the presidential election — one that already has left many voters dismayed by the country’s direction and dissatisfied with their choices in the November election.

Not in a generation has an American political convention opened amid such open turbulence. The convention didn’t seem to hit its stride until former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani delivered a vigorous and extended defense of Trump and his policies, speaking just before the Trumps. “I am sick and tired of the defamation of Donald Trump by the media and by the Clinton campaign,” Giuliani said, bringing the convention to its feet. He described Trump as “a good man” who would “make Ameri-

can safe again.” “Who would trust Hillary Clinton to protect them?” he asked to a chorus of “no’s!” “I wouldn’t, would you?”

To be clear, Trump’s nomination, scheduled for Tuesday, was never in peril. Still, he had a bumpy start to what is typically a nationally televised infomercial for the party and its nominee.

If his wife’s description of Trump as “kind and fair and caring” was intended to soften Trump’s image, most of the program hardened the barrage of criticism of Clinton and of the Obama administration she served: for violent crimes committed in the U.S. by illegal immigrants, for one thing, and for the 2012 attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya.

“I blame Hillary Clinton personally for the death of my son, personally,” Patricia Smith, the mother of Sean Smith, one of those killed, said in emotional remarks. Fighting back tears, she said, “Hillary for prison. She deserves to be in stripes.” The convention cheered.

There were a series of speeches guaranteed to gin up the conservative base but, until the evening’s end, relatively few that seemed designed to appeal to the more moderate and swing voters who typically decide elections.

The evening’s theme was “Make America Safe Again,” a turn on Trump’s ubiquitous slogan, “Make America Great Again.” It was chosen weeks before the recent terror attacks and policy ambushes, but campaign advisers said those attacks may reinforce hisappeal for voters alarmed about a world that seems to be spinning out of control.

There is “the anger in America, the frustration of the system being broken, that is in all of these states,” Manafort said at a breakfast with reporters hosted

by Bloomberg News. “You put on top of that current events and it creates even more angst and opportunity.”

Police recall ‘brutality’ in Baton Rouge Officers lauded for bravery during chaotic ambush Bart Jansen @ganjansen USA TODAY

The chaotic shootout between Baton Rouge officers and a lone gunman ranged around a series of commercial buildings before a SWAT officer killed the suspect with a 100-yard shot, police said Monday.

The gunman, Gavin Eugene Long, 29, of Kansas City, Mo., had an IWA Tavor SAR 5.56-caliber rifle and Springfield XD 9.9mm pistol with him during the shootout Sunday morning, according to Col. Michael Edmonson, superintendent of state police. Another Stag Arms M4 Variant 5.56-caliber semiautomatic rifle was found in his rented Chevrolet Malibu, Edmonson said.

Baton Rouge police department officers at a convenience store said they spotted the gunman at 8:40 a.m. He was wearing all black standing behind a beauty supply store holding a rifle. Two minutes later, law enforcement officials heard reports of shots fired.

At 8:44 a.m., dispatch received reports of officers down. More shots were reported at 8:45 a.m.

Sterling’s mother, Quinetta McMillon, said in a statement that her family were “disgusted by the despicable act of violence today that resulted in the shooting deaths of members of the Baton Rouge law enforcement,” adding, “all we want is peace.

“We reject violence of any kind directed at members of law enforcement or citizens.”

The shooting already may be affecting policing in nearby New Orleans, where Police Chief Michael Harrison said Sunday that officers will only respond to calls in pairs, WWL-TV reported.

On Monday, Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams said officers there had been riding in pairs since the shootings in Dallas.

Rice found not guilty of all charges in Freddie Gray case

IN BRIEF

Events are not ‘clear-cut,’ judge says; two others await trial Karina Shedrofsky USA TODAY

President Obama presents the Medal of Honor to retired Army pilot Charles Kettles for his heroism in Vietnam.

VIETNAM VET RECEIVES MEDAL OF HONOR FOR 1967 RESCUE

After two weeks of racial tension, police shootings and world turmoil, President Obama said the United States could learn a lesson from Lt. Col. Charles Kettles’ heroism in Vietnam.

Kettles, 86, was awarded the Medal of Honor by Obama at the White House for his heroism in rescuing dozens of U.S. soldiers in Vietnam on May 15, 1967.

“Let’s face it, we’ve had a couple of tough weeks,” Obama said.

Kettles showed, Obama said, that “we can all look out for each other. ... What a great gift for us to celebrate something like this.”

On May 15, 1967, Kettles flew his UH-1 helicopter repeatedly into heavy fire to save dozens of soldiers who were ambushed by North Vietnamese troops in the Song Tau Cau river valley. He coaxed his seriously damaged and overloaded helicopter to safety with the last eight soldiers who had been left behind.

— Fernanda Crescente IMPOVERISHED BLACK MEN AT HIGH RISK FOR MORTALITY

African-American men who live below the poverty line had the lowest overall survival of any group, according to new research that looks at the effects of sex, race and socioeconomic status.

The study, which sampled both white and black men and women, found that African-American men below poverty levels had almost a 2.7 times higher risk of

mortality than African-American men above poverty levels. The research was published Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine.

“What’s surprising is the magnitude of the difference,” said coauthor Alan Zonderman, a researcher at the National Institute on Aging.

The study also found that white men above the poverty line had approximately the same risk as those below, whereas white and African-American women below poverty levels had a higher risk than those above. The risk was similar between races for women.

BY ENDORSING CLINTON

Housing Secretary Julian Castro violated federal law when he expressed support for Hillary Clinton’s candidacy in an interview with Yahoo News in April, an investigation has found.

Castro, who Clinton has mentioned as a possible running mate, told reporter Katie Couric in the interview that “Clinton is the most experienced, thoughtful, and prepared candidate for president that we have this year.”

That violated the Hatch Act, according to an investigative report submitted Monday to President Obama by the Office of Special Counsel. That law, first passed in 1939, forbids anyone in the executive branch — other than the president or vice president — from using his or her official office to engage in political activity.

A Baltimore judge on Monday found police Lt. Brian Rice not guilty of all charges related to the arrest and death of Freddie Gray.

Rice, the highest-ranking of six officers charged in relation to Gray’s death, was acquitted of involuntary manslaughter, reckless endangerment and misconduct in office, The Sun reported. Circuit Judge Barry Williams dropped a second-degree assault charge midway through the trial, and prosecutors dropped a second misconduct charge at the trial’s start.

Gray died while in police custody one week after his April 2015 arrest. Rice helped load Gray, 25, into the police van with his wrists and legs shackled, but without a seat belt. Prosecutors say he suffered severe spinal injuries while being transported in the van to the police station.

During the trial, prosecutors said Rice was most responsible of the six officers charged for following police procedures to fasten a prisoner in a seat belt, citing his 18 years of experience on the force, the Associated Press reported.

Rice’s attorney Michael Belsky countered that police could use discretion if they believe their safety is at risk.

He said officers were concerned because Gray was not cooperative and it was unclear what onlookers would do if they took the time to fasten Gray in the van before driving to the station.

Prosecutors described onlookers as concerned observers, but Belsky said officers heard threatening comments during the arrest, according to AP. Williams said Monday that the reality of what happened that day “is not particularly clear-cut or one-sided,” and so Rice’s decision to place Gray inside the van without a seat belt “must be viewed

BALTIMORE POLICE DEPARTMENT VIA EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

The six police officers charged in connection with the death of Freddie Gray are, top row from left, Ceasar Goodson, Garrett Miller and Edward Nero and, bottom from left, William Portner, Brian Rice and Alicia White. All have pleaded not guilty. Rice, the highest-ranking officer of the group, was acquitted of all charges on Monday.

Circuit Judge Barry Williams said the court cannot “be swayed by sympathy, prejudice or public opinion.” from that perspective.”

Gray’s death was a turning point in the ongoing debate over racial profiling and the deaths of black men at the hands of white police officers. Baltimore was rocked by riots and looting in the days following Gray’s funeral, prompting “Black Lives Matter” demonstrations across the USA. Rice waived his right to a jury trial in favor of a bench trial, leaving his fate to the judge.

Williams said the state failed to meet their burden of proving “every element of the crimes charged” beyond a reasonable doubt.

So the court is “constitutionally required to find the defendant

not guilty,” according to court records. He said the court cannot “be swayed by sympathy, prejudice or public opinion.”

Now that Rice’s criminal trial has ended, he will face an administrative review by the police department, Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said in a statement.

She thanked the community for their patience during “this difficult time” and asked for “their continued respect for the judicial process” as the city moves forward.

Six officers, three black and three white, were charged in connection to Gray’s death, with charges including false imprisonment and involuntary manslaughter.

All officers pleaded not guilty.

Two officers, Edward Nero and Caesar Goodson Jr., were acquitted in May and June, respectively.

Officer William Porter’s case ended in a mistrial in December.

Porter is scheduled to be retried in September.

Officer Garrett Miller’s trial is set to begin July 27 and Sgt. Alicia White’s is Oct. 13.

Gen. John Nicholson, commander of the Resolute Support mission in Afghanistan.

here said the expanded military authorization granted by President Obama last month has led to more aggressive targeting of insurgent leaders by U.S. and Afghan forces and helped Afghan’s military shift to an offensive mind-set.

“We’re able to target critical nodes in the enemy organization and take out leaders and this has a significant impact,” Gen. John Nicholson said in an interview Sunday at this sprawling air base.

The new authorities allow U.S. military forces to provide airstrikes and other help to Afghan forces conducting major offensive operations that are part of the Afghan military’s campaign plan against the Taliban and other insurgent groups.

Before the new order, U.S. airstrikes and other assistance largely was limited to protecting American forces and rescuing Afghan forces in extreme circumstances, such as preventing a key town from falling into Taliban control.

Nicholson said Afghan military leaders have told him their forces were more reactive last year, but they are now taking initiative in the fight against the Taliban and other insurgents, in part because of the expanded authority.

“We’re seeing a shift in mindset,” Nicholson told USA TODAY. “They see the value of going on the offensive.”

Helping target regional commanders, who hold significant influence over their followers, is only part of what the authorization allows, but the effect has been significant.

“When the leader is killed, it causes a degree of disruption that you wouldn’t see in a Western army,” Nicholson said.

WATAN YAR, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

Afghan families flee after clashes between Afghan security forces and Taliban militants in Nad Ali district of Helmand province.

The targeting of Taliban leaders also was given a boost by a robust force of 17,000 Afghan commandos and other special operation troops. The elite forces specialize in conducting special missions including raids against insurgent leaders.

About 80% of the operations by Afghan special operations troops are conducted without any coalition assistance, according to military statistics.

In addition to the new authorities, Obama also agreed to maintain 8,400 U.S. troops here through the end of his term, reversing his earlier plan to reduce the troop level to 5,500 by next year. U.S. allies also have agreed to continue providing troops and financial support for Afghanistan into the future.

The developments come as the Taliban struggles with a leadership succession following the death of leader Mohammed Akhtar Mansour, who was killed by a U.S. drone strike in May. Mansour was replaced by Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada, but Mansour kept a tight hold on the organization’s resources.

His death “disrupted their financial situation,” in addition to causing fissures in the group’s leadership, Nicholson said.

Nicholson cautioned there was

no “silver bullet” to defeat the Taliban, but the expansion of authorities, higher troop levels, the killing of Mansour and the international commitment to continue funding Afghan forces helped boost the confidence of Afghan forces.

The coalition command had expected an increase in Taliban activity at the end of Ramadan, the Muslim month of fasting, but such a spike has not yet materialized.

Still, the Taliban has proved remarkably resilient in the past, and Afghan forces have taken heavy casualties in the fighting since assuming the lead against the Taliban two years ago.

A report by the Institute for the Study of War, a think tank, said that Afghan security forces still face major capability shortfalls even with the new authorities and the slowing of the U.S. withdrawal.

“These measures are appropriate, but insufficient to close the readiness gap of the (Afghan security forces) … or bring Taliban militants to the negotiating table,” the report said. “The next president of the United States will inherit a challenge in Afghanistan in January 2017, even with current troop levels and increased authorities for supporting (Afghan military) offensive missions.”

Intense heat to sear U.S. this week ‘One of the worst’ waves in decades poses health hazards; 130M could see indexes hit 100

Doyle Rice

@usatodayweather USA TODAY

Temperatures over 100 degrees and brutally high humidity will combine to deliver a potentially dangerous heat wave to much of the central and southern U.S. this week.

“This may be one of the worst heat waves in the last few decades,” the National Weather Service warned.

About 130 million Americans will endure heat indexes of at least 100 degrees, according to the Weather Channel.

The intense heat will spread into the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast by next weekend. Only the Northwest

will not feel the full effects of the heat wave.

This will be the hottest weather so far this summer in the central U.S., AccuWeather said. Heat advisories and warnings have been posted in 16 states in the central and southern U.S., the weather service said.

Cities such as Dallas, Chicago, Oklahoma City, Kansas City, St. Louis and Des Moines are all in the zone of extreme heat.

Some daily record high temperatures are possible in a few locations, but no all-time records seem likely.

Milwaukee, Chicago, Detroit and Toledo could see 100-degree temperatures on Friday, WeatherBell meteorologist Ryan Maue said.

The heat index — which factors

in both temperatures and humidity — could approach 120 degrees in some spots.

“This type of heat can cause heat stroke if you don’t take precautions, so be sure to drink plenty of water and if possible avoid being out in the sun between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.,” according to WeatherBug meteorologist Andrew Rosenthal.

“More people die each year from heat than cold waves, lightning, tornadoes, hurricanes or floods,” AccuWeather meteorologist Alex Sosnowski said. The heat is due to a massive dome of high pressure that’s predicted to camp out over the Plains and Midwest for much of the week, weather.com said. High pressure causes air to sink, preventing clouds and rain from forming.

ISTANBUL In the wake of the weekend coup attempt against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turks increasingly point to a culprit outside their country’s borders: the United States.

“It’s all America’s fault,” said Erkan Gul, 22, a sandwich shop worker. His evidence is the U.S. haven granted to Turkish Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen, whom Erdogan blames for orchestrating the failed military coup.

The cleric’s followers in Turkey “used to do some good things for the people. But then America corrupted Gulen, and now he is trying to take over Turkey,” the sandwich maker said.

Erdogan demands that the U.S. extradite Gulen, who has lived in Pennsylvania since 1999, but the U.S. insists Turkey first provide proof of Gulen’s complicity in the takeover attempt. That has created renewed tensions between the two NATO allies.

Monday, allegations by government officials and media about U.S. involvement in the coup became so rampant that the U.S. ambassador to Turkey, John Bass, issued a statement denying any truth to the speculation.

“Some news reports — and, unfortunately, some public figures — have speculated that the United States in some way supported the coup attempt,” Bass said in his statement. “This is categorically untrue, and such speculation is harmful to the decades-long friendship between two great nations.”

In Washington, White House press secretary Josh Earnest echoed those comments. He said the

Erdogan insists cleric in Pa. orchestrated takeover attempt, should be extradited

“Such speculation is harmful to the decades-long friendship between two great nations.”

John Bass, U.S. ambassador to Turkey

United States would follow procedures in a decades-old extradition treaty and called Turkey’s allegations that the U.S. was harboring Gulen “factually incorrect.”

Gulen, 77, who is in self-exile, used to be a close ally of Erdogan, but they had a falling out. He is now at the helm of a religious network that includes hundreds of schools across the world that promote a moderate version of Islam.

Turkish Labor Minister Süleyman Soylu, a close Erdogan associate, blamed the United States during an interview Saturday with TV channel Haberturk.

“America is behind the coup,” Soylu said, according to an English translation in the Hurriyet Daily News, a respected Turkish newspaper. The minister cited “magazines” as describing the U.S. connection to the coup but declined to specify which ones.

Secretary of State John Kerry denied the accusations Saturday.

Mehmet Demir, 43, a waiter at another restaurant near the waterway that divides this ancient city, said Turkey’s alliance with the United States was doing his country more harm than good.

“America is messing with the entire world,” Demir said. “The coup is all because of (Gulen’s followers) and America.”

Study: Asthma attacks linked to fracking Ryan W. Miller USA TODAY

A new study found that asthma patients in Pennsylvania living near unconventional natural gas developments, also known as fracking, were up to four times more likely to experience an asthma attack.

The study, released Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine, classified asthma exacerbation into three categories: mild or needing medication, moderate or needing an emergency room visit or severe, needing hospitalization.

Asthma patients living close to more or bigger natural gas wells had a higher risk of attacks in all three asthma stages, said lead author Sara Rasmussen, a Ph.D candidate at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Researchers found that the greater risk showed up in all four phases of well development: pad preparation, drilling, stimulation — the actual fracturing — and production.

Researchers pulled data of asthma patients treated at the Geisinger clinic in Pennsylvania from 2005 and 2012, which spanned 40 counties and identified more than 35,000 patients.

A rig drills a new well in McDonald, Pa., in January 2012 during a natural gas and oil drilling boom in the Marcellus shale formation. A new study links asthma and fracking. to Barbara Gottlieb, Environment and Health program director at Physicians for Social Responsibility. She was not involved in the study.

The release of volatile organic compounds can interact with other chemical in the fracking sites to form groundlevel ozone, an asthma-inducing pollutant.

Increased industrial activity near fracking sites, such as transportation, also aggravates asthma symptoms. And natural gas, or methane, leaks that ocdock Sunday when the Areté, owned by Rick Warner of Marine City, shattered its own record in the Port Huron-to-Mackinac Island sailboat race, the Times Herald reported.

A yellow diamond necklace from Tiffany.

Hadley Malcolm and Chris Woodyard

@hadleypdxdc, @ChrisWoodyard USA TODAY NEW YORK Bling appears to not be as much of a thing.

Luxury retailers, which were flying high as the wealthy thrived, are starting to look more like diamonds in a pretty rough spot.

Threats to global stability — including terrorism, the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union and China’s slowdown — are rattling shoppers of high-end goods. At the same time, luxury retailers are losing share to online sellers, an issue bedeviling mainstream chains.

They’re also suffering at the hands of discounters and fastfashion luxury lookalikes.

Investors are taking note. The S&P Global Luxury Index, which tracks the value of the stock of dozens of companies that deal in luxury goods including automakers, has lost 15.06% the past year, compared to a 2.58% rise in the S&P 500.

“If you’re tied to international consumers, you really have not had any sense of relief in the past several quarters,” says Simeon Siegel, equity research analyst with Nomura Securities.

As second-quarter earnings reports unfold, purveyors of luxury goods who noted stress, such as jeweler Tiffany and apparel sellers Ralph Lauren and Burberry, will be watched to see if the trouble they reported in the first quarter continues or worsens.

Brexit creates a whole new level of uncertainty. It’s another shock that, combined with terror attacks in France, the U.S., Bangladesh and elsewhere, adds up to trouble because it scares off tour-

ists — some of the best customers for luxury companies.

The drop in tourism is the biggest reason luxury retail traffic is down 20% from a year ago, says Milton Pedraza, CEO of The Luxury Institute, a consulting firm.

Globally, personal luxury goods purchases have tripled in the past 20 years to more than $270 billion, according to a 2015 report from Bain & Co. North and South America combined have become the largest market for personal luxury goods purchases. But that growth has slowed. Last year, sales in the Americas were flat on a constant exchange-rate basis, according to Bain.

Besides global economic pressure, even the most tony retailers are feeling the same heat from discounters and online sellers as the mainstream retail industry.

A recession-era boom in outlet and off-price stores had everyone from Coach to Prada hawking once-coveted goods at a discount, or department store offshoots such as Nordstrom Rack and Saks Off 5th doing it for them. Fastfashion players such as H&M and Zara churn out luxury lookalikes at a fraction of the price.

Online, some shoppers are turning to luxury-for-less sites such as Gilt or The Real Real.

“It’s just not as exclusive, and it doesn’t justify the price like it used to,” Pedraza says. “Too many are discounting, and there’s not enough consumer demand.”

Burberry’s biggest problem was in the Asia Pacific region, where China is a major player. Foot traffic was markedly down in Hong Kong.

Fiat Chrysler says it will cooperate fully with the inquiry. cents Monday to $6.73.

The investigations come six months after two Fiat Chrysler dealerships filed a civil racketeering lawsuit in January accusing the company of paying certain dealers to report false sales to “create the appearance that FCA’s performance is better than, in re-

At the time, Fiat Chrysler dismissed the claims as “without merit” and said the suit came amid discussions with the dealer group over “the need to meet its obligations under some of its dealer agreements.”

Feds probe Fiat Chrysler’s sales numbers Federal authorities are investigating Fiat Chrysler Automobiles after accusations by at least two dealers that the company conspired to inflate sales.

The U.S. Justice Department and Securities and Exchange Commission are conducting investigations into the company’s sales practices, the automaker confirmed Monday.

The probes center on “the reporting of vehicle unit sales to end customers in the U.S,” Fiat Chrysler said in a statement. The company pledged to “cooperate fully with these investigations.”

Spokespeople for the U.S. Justice Department and the SEC declined to comment.

The Dow just hit fresh new highs again Monday, but investors already are thinking about what’s next. That looks like Dow 19,140.

Nine stocks in the Dow Jones industrial average, including Apple, Home Depot, McDonald’s and Visa, are expected to be the biggest blue-chip winners going forward, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. Each of these stocks is expected to add at least 50 Dow points to the much-watched market measure.

If these stocks contribute these big gains, the Dow will be trading at 19,140 in 18 months, according to analysts’ estimates for all Dow stocks. But that’s the problem.

That would be just 3.3% higher than Monday’s closing value.

Even if you add the market’s dividend yield of about 2%, that’s a subpar return, considering most long-term investors expect about a 9.5% average annual return.

suit — Napleton’s Arlington Heights Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Arlington Heights, Ill., and Napleton’s Northlake Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Lake Park, Fla. — are part of the Napleton Automotive Group, one of the largest Fiat Chrysler dealer groups in the U.S. In a statement Monday, Fiat Chrysler said it “records revenues based on shipments to dealers and customers and not on reported vehicle unit sales to end customers.”

The federal probes could undermine the legitimacy of the company’s seemingly improbable U.S. sales record.

The automaker has recorded year-over-year monthly sales gains for 75 consecutive months, a streak that has been helped by an automotive industry that has been recovering for six years.

Still, the streak is viewed as a major achievement for the automaker.

These estimates show just how much skepticism remains about the market, even as it pushes higher. Analysts think 10 of the 30 stocks in the Dow, such as International Business Machines, Caterpillar and 3M will be lower in 18 months than they are now.

Such cautiousness reveals how worries about the Federal Reserve’s plans and corporate profits “have not necessarily abated,” says Brian Belski, chief investment strategist at BMO Capital Markets. Given that stocks have run up so much already, “current valuation levels can make future performance even worse based on historical trends,” he says.

Add in that investors might be worried to pay up for current prices, and it’s not surprising to see Apple as the stock analysts think has the most potential upside. Shares of the gadget maker are down 23% over the past 12 months, making it the secondworst-performing stock after bank Goldman Sachs over the time period. Investors are bracing for a difficult quarter, as the company’s adjusted quarterly profit is seen falling 25% in the second calendar quarter compared with the same period a year ago. Analysts, though, still think the stock should be worth $122 a share in 18 months, which would be 22% upside and add 150 Dow points.

Kulbinder Garcha, analyst at Credit Suisse, thinks the company’s services revenue could soften the blow from falling handset sales.

Not all the companies expected to be big Dow winners are simply those that have been left behind.

Home Depot is expected to be worth $147.33 a share in 18 months, which would be an 8% increase. Those gains would be on top of the 17% gain the company already booked over the past 12 months, thanks to robust building and remodeling activity fueled by low interest rates. Credit card processor Visa is also seen rising 15% to $89.60 a share amid stable and predictable growth.

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

The bull is back. The Dow and S&P 500 posted fresh records again Monday. And that’s got the Wall Street research machine opining on what could propel or halt the stock market’s rise.

Wall Street pros that analyze stock price patterns and momentum like what they see. “The next opportunity is to buy the first pullback, not try to time it,” Oppenheimer’s technical analyst Ari Wald said in a note. He predicts the rally will keep going, partly because investors don’t believe it and haven’t prepared for it. “We expect equities to continue to rally amid such disbelief as ill-positioned investors face the fear of missing it. The S&P’s breakout is confirming the next leg of the ad-

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

vance. Rallies should be of both greater magnitude and duration than the bouts of strength during the prior 24-month trading range, and pullbacks should be shallower and shorter lived.”

But some pros say the market could run into trouble at current levels. “The S&P 500 is trading near an all-time record high. But investors should not take this as the all-clear signal,” says Michael Pento, president of Pento Portfolio Strategies. “According to most indicators, the market is now more overvalued than ever before.”

He cites a valuation metric that uses 10-years of inflation-adjusted earnings that’s nearing the 27.2 level seen in 2007.

On the earnings front, secondquarter earnings are still tracking for a contraction of 4.5%, and on track for their fourth consecutive quarter of negative profit growth.

charging new subscribers $9.99.

What Netflix calls “un-grandfathering,” that is gradually increasing prices to its existing customers, weighed more on growth than the rise in streaming offerings from its rivals including Amazon Prime Video, Hulu and YouTube Red, Hastings said.

Even though Netflix had attempted to lower expectations for growth during the April-to-June period by forecasting the addition of 2.5 million new subscribers — including 500,000 in the U.S. and 2 million international subscribers — many Wall Street analysts had looked for higher numbers.

Toymaker’s quick run-up could stall future growth Q: Is Hasbro a stock worth toying with?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Hasbro’s shares have been on a tear this year and profit growth is solid. But the stock isn’t a bargain anymore as other investors have pushed up the valuation.

The leading maker of toys saw its shares sink 6% Monday to roughly $80 a share. The selling pressure kicked in despite the company reporting 24% higher adjusted quarterly profit of 41 cents a share, S&P Global Market Intelligence says. The bottom line topped expectations by 5%.

Despite the weak day, Hasbro has been a big winner for investors. Shares of the stock are up 19% this year, a stellar run as the broad market is up about 6%.

The earnings report didn’t contain anything that would explain why investors sold off the stock a bit. Toy brands for girls continue to be strong, growing more than 20% as Hasbro won the Disney Princess licensing contract from Mattel. Brands for boys aren’t growing nearly as rapidly, but were still up 4%.

The challenge with the stock is it has run up so much. Shares are now trading for more than 23 times trailing earnings, up from 19 at the start of the year. Analysts still think the stock will be worth 9% more in 18 months, but on average rate the stock a hold.

Netflix shares plummet on subscriber misses trading to $83.90, after closing up 0.4% Monday at $98.81.

The culprit: U.S. customer distaste for higher monthly prices, which led to a net addition of only 160,000 subscribers for the quarter, bringing Netflix’s U.S. subscriber base to 47 million. “Churn ticked up slightly and unexpectedly,” CEO Reed Hastings said in a note to shareholders.

The service’s long-planned $2 increase in its monthly $7.99 subscription led to some cancelled subscriptions. Netflix had maintained that price level for current subscribers to its standard HD streaming for two years while

Mario’s Closet marks milestone Chalmers’, volunteers’ legacy a refuge in health crises

Getting fit with Pokémon Go: A four-hour, 8-mile, 900-calorie walk through Lawrence

By Jason Kendall

I

Twitter: @LJWorld

f you’ve ventured out on Massachusetts Street in the past couple weeks, you’ve seen them: packs of people stalking zombielike along downtown Lawrence’s main artery while raptly staring at their smartphones. A sign of the coming apocalypse? Maybe. It’s also the world’s newest accidental fitness craze.

Since launching earlier this month, Pokémon Go has become the most popular smartphone app on the planet, with 15 million downloads in its first week. To put that in perspective: Data usage researcher Sensor Tower found smartphone users now are spending about 30 minutes a day in the game’s virtual world, 50 percent longer than they do surfing Facebook.

This phenomenon’s implications for the future of humanity are, well, downright frightening. On the other hand, from a health and wellness standpoint, there are positive takeaways. GPS-driven Pokémon Go rewards users for walking (or biking) on a virtual map that corresponds to real-world places while in search of “pocket monsters.”

Considering that a 150-pound human burns about 90 calories for every half hour of walking, the game’s users might just be collectively burning 1.4 trillion calories per day. That’s 385,700 pounds.

Between downtown and the Kansas University campus, Lawrence seems to be an especially buzzy Pokémon Go epicenter. The game’s virtual world is highlighted by Pokéstops, which users can visit to collect special items. Generally, these spots are tied to some point of interest: a sign, a mural, a historical building.

(The World Company headquarters at Seventh and New Hampshire streets is one.)

Whatever the reason, compared with the nearby Kansas City metro area, Lawrence seems to have an abundance of Pokéstops crammed into a relatively easy to traverse area.

So Thursday morning I decided to skip my usual run and instead make my way out among the Poképeople.

I loosely mapped out a loop that would take me from the

LEFT: Running legend Jeff Galloway was in Lawrence over the weekend to promote his run-walk-run program at Ad Astra Running. From an exercise standpoint, playing Pokémon Go on busy Massachusetts Street is more like walk-stop-walk.

Pokéjourney stats Duration: 4 hours Distance: 8.1 miles Calories burned: 934 Distinct Pokéstops visited: 115 Pokémon caught: 97 University Place neighborhood through KU’s campus and downtown. From there, I promised myself, I’d let the app lead me wherever it seemed cool to go.

A couple of ground rules: In the interest of finishing my walk before lunchtime, I wouldn’t venture too far afield in pursuit of Pokémon, instead just capturing ones I happened upon. And I wouldn’t bother interacting with any Pokégyms — rarer spots where users hang out to battle each other’s Pokémon — though I would encounter many.

Two more rules: I would wear lots of sunscreen and drink plenty of water.

And here’s my disclaimer: While the goal of a long, hot walk through Lawrence seemed reasonable for a relatively fit person like me, when undertaking a new exercise adventure it’s best to consult your doctor and build up to things slowly — and while behaving safely. As the app advises, always keep your eyes on the sidewalk or the road.

With all that out of the way, here are some snapshots from my four-hour, 8-mile, 900-calorie Pokémon Go journey:

An idyllic hike After knocking out a few pull-ups on the nearby playground equipment, I started my journey at the southeast corner of Veterans Park at 6:30 a.m. The park is near my house in the University Place neighborhood, and it’s

also the logical southern border of what I estimate is Lawrence’s central Pokémon Go zone. (There’s lots of free public parking there, by the way.) Heading north through the park, I hit my first three Pokéstops of the day before trekking up hilly Louisiana Street to the southeast corner of campus.

Rising through the morning fog, I was taken anew by the quiet, early morning beauty of KU’s oldest district. From Fraser Hall to the Spencer Museum of Art (both of which are Pokéstops), I found it difficult to focus on my smartphone instead of on the natural spectacle around me — which I guess is sort of the idea behind Pokémon Go in the first place, to make urban explorers of all of us.

One interesting piece of trivia: Of the 115 different Pokéstops I eventually visited Please see GO, page 2C

Five years ago this week, a group of community leaders, hospital volunteers and staff, and other supporters came together with an NBA basketball player to participate in a ribbon-cutting for a new venture for Lawrence Memorial Hospital: Mario’s Closet.

Mario’s Closet opened at LMH with the idea of creating a special place for people going through cancer treatment by providing affordable options for wigs, prosthetics, post-surgical garments, lymphedema sleeves and gloves.

The idea of Mario’s Closet was developed when former KU basketball player Mario Chalmers joined the NBA and started his charitable foundation as a way to give back. His goal was to make cancer patients feel like themselves again.

Chalmers’ desire to help people who have had a cancer diagnosis stems from a longtime friendship. His best friend’s mother, Pauline Peterson, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1998.

“Miss Pauline” was like a second mother to Chalmers. She lost her battle with the disease in 2006.

The Mario V. Chalmers Foundation provided the initial funding to the LMH Endowment Association to build the specialty shop within the hospital. Mario’s Closet also is a nice place to shop for healthy lifestyle items, hats, cards, journals and more.

Many of the 12 volunteers who staff the shop are cancer survivors themselves. Customers often find that it is helpful to make a connection with someone who has gone through what they are going through. The success of Mario’s Closet lies in the personal connections people make.

Another unique thing about Mario’s Closet is the vendors who have been partners since the store opened five years ago.

Criticare Home Health Services is the vendor that provides expertise with Please see CLOSET, page 2C

Celebration The community is invited to help celebrate the fifth anniversary of Mario’s Closet on Friday. There will be some important guests, including Mario Chalmers’ mother, Almarie, and the Big Jay mascot from Kansas University. Come enjoy free refreshments and door prizes, view the Gallery of Hope and get a photo taken with Big Jay. The event begins with a short presentation at 4 p.m. in the West lobby at LMH.

Dear Annie: I’m a self-proclaimed meatatarian. I suppose I eat vegetables from time to time, such as the lettuce and tomato on a hamburger. But for the most part, if it didn’t have a central nervous system, I’m not interested.

You can’t fault me for it; I grew up in the Midwest, where we treated sausage like a food group. I feel manly when I eat chicken wings, ripping flesh off the carcass of an animal with my teeth.

Beef, chicken, duck, lamb, rabbit, bison, fish — love ‘em all.

However, I also love my new vegan (gasp) girlfriend.

Vegan Girlfriend is the best, and I’ve never felt this way before.

She seems to really accept and love all of my personality. She’s

even fine with the meatatarian thing, never making any comments about it and saying it doesn’t bother her.

My family really likes her, although it’s always a process trying to explain her diet to Grandma, God bless her. (“No steak for her, Grandma. ... No, ‘those people’ don’t eat chicken, either.”)

I’m really starting to believe that Vegan Girlfriend is the one.

‘Enemies’ looks at conventions How does the current Republican National Convention and its coverage (7 p.m., PBS; 9 p.m., ABC, CBS, NBC; endless roundups on CBSN, CSPAN, Fox News, MSNBC, CNN) compare to conventions past?

Now streaming on Netflix, the 2015 documentary “Best of Enemies” looks back at the TV coverage of the political conventions during the violent summer of 1968, and the decision by a lastplace network to try something “different,” a choice that would change TV news and political discourse.

In the late 1960s, ABC was long mired in last place, the third network of three. A joke at the time asked, “How do you end the Vietnam War? Put it on ABC and it will get canceled in 13 weeks.” Faced with more popular and prestigious news divisions on CBS and NBC, the folks at ABC rolled the dice and decided to spice up convention coverage with 10 televised debates between conservative columnist and National Review founder William F. Buckley Jr. and novelist Gore Vidal, a cosmopolitan intellectual who had run for Congress and lost, contributed to the script to “Ben-Hur” and written the smash Broadway show (and subsequent 1964 movie) “The Best Man,” about the backstabbing politics at a fictional political convention.

Both men simply oozed good breeding and prep school backgrounds. One has the sense that they could have conducted their debates in Latin had they so chosen. Yet their encounters were anything but cool. The men clashed angrily and personally, engaging in name-calling and vitriol not seen on American TV news.

The world of TV news coverage has become a louder and angrier place since Vidal and Buckley clashed in 1968. “Best of Enemies” invites us to be present at the creation of this new media. l “Rome’s Buried Secrets” (8 p.m., Science, TV-PG) uses advanced scanning technology to reveal the sound foundation of the Eternal City’s enduring structures.

BIG 12 FOOTBALL MEDIA DAYS

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Tough to win at KU, but …

David Beaty was asked at Big 12 Media Days if he has found his job as football coach at Kansas to be as tough as he thought it would be, and naturally he polished his answer with positive paint.

The Kansas job is considered a career-killer by many, and several factors do make it a risky challenge for a young coach to undertake.

More later on why the timing makes it a lessdangerous venture than at some other points. First, a look at some of the reasons it’s not a job successful coaches crave.

The lack of a sustained winning tradition ranks at the top for the same reason that KU’s dominance in basketball is the top reason it’s such a great job.

Next, geography plays a part. The state has two Div. I football programs and doesn’t produce nearly as many prospects as bordering Oklahoma in part because its population is not only greater (3.9 million, compared to 2.9), but more spread out.

Wichita, the largest city in Kansas, would be third in Oklahoma, behind Oklahoma City and Tulsa.

Dense populations make for better competition, better leagues and in turn athletes more prepared for the speed and physicality of the college game.

Sharing an athletic department with a basketball giant helps recruiting.

So many players trace the moment they decided to commit to Kansas football to the moment they sat in Allen Fieldhouse, blown away by the atmosphere.

It also makes it easier for the fan base to slip into apathy, counting the days until basketball elevates their moods.

Many donors won’t even discuss helping the football program, preferring to back a winner.

Beaty has a difficult job, all right, but not as difficult as the blinding spotlight Jim Grobe put himself under when he accepted an offer to become successor to fired Art Briles. In so doing, Grobe became boss of the assistants who tolerated the culture that led to Briles’ firing in the wake of a sexual-assault scandal.

Texas’ Charlie Strong has a worse job because the pressure is so intense he won’t be given the time to establish his winning ways.

This isn’t the worst time to be KU’s football coach because expectations are so low, the fan base so tuned out, that Beaty doesn’t have to feel tempted to get in his own way by making shortterm decisions at the expense of the future. Of the dozen Class of 2017 recruits who made oral pledges to Kansas, one is from a junior college, the rest from high school.

There is no easy time to head KU’s football program, but there have been tougher times.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL COACH DAVID BEATY RESPONDS TO QUESTIONS during Big 12 Media Days on Monday in Dallas.

KU reps reflect Beaty’s mantra

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Dallas — When David Beaty put pen to paper to sign his contract on Dec. 8, 2014 — big D, big B, all letters clearly legible — Beaty affirmed his intention to “devote his full time and attention and give his best efforts and Dineen skill exclusively to the duties required of him as the KU head football coach.”

Those duties, detailed in the subsequent 24 pages of Beaty’s first collegiate headcoaching contract, included everything from supervision and evaluation to recruit-

ment and training, along with an agreement to adhere to all KU and NCAA rules while also maintaining a professional and ethical existence as the face of the KU program.

All of that black ink was necessary to make the agreement legal, but the thousands of words within the document Smithson amounted to little more than a long-winded version of the greater directive: Do your best to win.

But there’s nothing in that employment agreement that references what Beaty says he believes is as important as anything else, a mantra he

has said over and over since he arrived.

He and his staff want to help create good young men who will go on to become good fathers and husbands well after their days as good football players are behind them.

“The way he says things, it really resonates with you,” said junior lineback- Cozart er Joe Dineen, one of three Jayhawks who joined Beaty at Monday’s Big 12 Media Days at the Omni Hotel. “He talks about his daughters all the time and how important they are to him, and he tells us he loves us, too. Honestly, he could’ve picked almost

anybody on the team, and they would’ve done a great job. I’m just blessed that he picked me. I’m having a great time.”

Joined by senior safety Fish Smithson and junior quarterback Montell Cozart, the KU quartet spoke proudly about the state of Kansas football for seven hours Monday. The fact that they could do that on the heels of a winless season in 2015 showed their mental makeup. And although huge win totals may not reside in the immediate future, Monday’s activity showed that the first step in the rebuilding process is behind them.

This is the new face of Kansas football.

KU hoops officially adds walk-on Vang

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Tucker Vang will join the Kansas University men’s basketball team as a walk-on, coach Bill Self announced Monday.

Vang, a 6-foot-2 junior guard out of Goddard High, will begin practicing with the Jayhawks when the fall

2016 semester begins in August.

“Tucker has been around the program for a year, practicing against the (KU) women’s team. We’ve been able to watch him from afar,” Self said of Vang, who averaged 16.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists his senior year at Goddard High.

“I think he’ll be a nice addi-

tion and will give us some depth during practice.”

Vang’s brother, Tate, is a walk-on on KU’s football team. His father, Pete, played tight end for the Jayhawks from 1990-93, and his uncle, Shawn, was a guard on the football team from 1995-98. Vang’s mother, Tara, is also a KU graduate.

What’s more, Vang’s grand-

father, Randy, played football at Wichita State, and his uncle, Scott, played football at Iowa.

“I tried out my freshman year and stayed in touch with the coaches,” Vang said. “I played with the women’s team last year, and with Evan (Manning, former Please see HOOPS, page 3D

Dyson’s slam caps Royals’ 7-run eighth

Charlie Riedel/AP Photo

KANSAS CITY’S JARROD DYSON, CENTER, and Christian Colon, right, are doused by Salvador Perez after the Royals’ 7-3 victory over the Indians on Monday in Kansas City, Mo.

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Once Corey Kluber limped to the trainer’s room, the Kansas City Royals broke loose against the Cleveland bullpen.

Jarrod Dyson hit a grand slam that capped a sevenrun rally in the eighth inning, and the Royals took advantage after Kluber cramped up, topping the Indians 7-3 Monday night.

Kluber scattered five hits and took the mound to begin the eighth with a 2-0 lead. But manager Terry Francona and trainer James

Quinlan came from the dugout and pulled Kluber before he could throw a pitch.

Kluber was suffering from a right calf cramp with the temperature at 90 degrees and the heat index 99 at the start of the game.

“I don’t think cramps are serious, but I don’t know how he’s going to push off the rubber,” Francona said.

With Kluber out, the Royals roughed up relievers Bryan Shaw and Jeff Manship. Alcides Escobar and Eric Hosmer began the eighth with singles, and both

scored on Christian Colon’s pinch-hit double.

“Soon as Escobar got that infield single, I turned to Wak (bench coach Don Wakamatsu) and said, ‘This is how it starts for us, especially at home,’” Royals manager Ned Yost said.

Colon hit for Kendrys Morales, who had fouled a pitch off his right foot. Xrays were negative, detecting only a bruise. Colon squared around to bunt on the first two pitches, both Please see ROYALS, page 3D

Some of America’s most famous athletes took the ESPYs stage and announced they want to help cure the social ills that led to last week’s police-shooting tragedies. As they embark on this noble cause, I’d like to offer one suggestion.

Brush up on the U.S. Constitution.

Enshrined throughout is the principle of due process. It goes back to the Magna Carta and became a cornerstone of Western civilization.

With our judicial system, it means the presumption of innocence. You are entitled to a public trial by an impartial jury where you can crossexamine witnesses and present evidence in your defense.

In short, due process is an indispensable safeguard against mob rule and vigilante justice.

It also gets routinely ignored by athletes and others seeking social justice. The latest example is the deaths of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling at the hands of police.

“This shoot-to-kill mentality has to stop,” Dwyane Wade said at the ESPYs. “Not seeing the value of black and brown bodies has to stop.”

How does he know triggerhappy police shot Castile and Sterling because they were black?

He saw grainy phone videos of the two men being killed.

There was no context, no investigation, no nod to what precipitated the incidents.

There was just a reflexive reaction based on personal experience or ideology.

“Racist murders,” is how The Nation put it.

At least the website didn’t post a photo of a hooded man slitting a cop’s throat, as Browns running back Isaiah Crowell did. He apologized after the uproar and Cleveland police threatened to boycott Browns games.

Four off-duty Minneapolis police working a Minnesota Lynx game walked off when players wore warmup shirts bearing the names of Castile and Sterling, “Black Lives Matter” and a Dallas Police Department emblem.

That last touch didn’t mollify the four cops, who failed to see the moral equivalence between two contested shootings and an avowed cop-hating racist ambushing 12 policemen, killing five.

Perhaps the police who killed Castile and Sterling are as evil as the Dallas assassin.

One certainty is a lot of jocks (and others, including Minnesota’s governor) won’t give them the benefit of the doubt.

Six police were charged.

So far, one trial has ended in a hung jury and two other officers have been acquitted.

After Trayvon Martin was killed, the NBA players union issued a statement calling George Zimmerman a murderer. It came 15 months before the first bit of evidence or testimony was presented.

Now Wade, Anthony, Chris Paul and LeBron James have issued a call to arms. There is plenty of room for debate when it comes to racial profiling, crime statistics and other complexities.

“Let’s use this moment as a call to action to all professional athletes to educate ourselves, explore the issues, speak up, use our influence,” James said.

Sounds good. I just hope our influential athletes educate themselves about due process.

If they truly want justice for all, the presumption of guilt is no way to achieve it.

PETER SAGAN, LEFT, CROSSES THE FINISH LINE ahead of Norway’s Alexander Kristoff to win the 16th stage of the Tour de France on Monday in Bern, Switzerland.

Sagan wins 16th stage in photo finish Bern, Switzerland — Peter Sagan can win practically any way he chooses: breakaways, sprints, fearless downhill attacks, and now a bike throw at the line.

The world champion from Slovakia showed off his all-around qualities by perfectly timing a sprint to win the 16th stage of the Tour de France in a photo finish on Monday.

Sagan edged Alexander Kristoff of Norway at the line after the race crossed into Switzerland.

Kristoff thought he won and pumped his fist in celebration, only to learn seconds later he hadn’t.

“I was lucky I threw my bike,” Sagan said. “I was certain I would finish second. ... Alexander made his jump very late on the line.”

Chris Froome held on to the yellow jersey after a relatively calm day for the overall leader before the race’s second and final rest day.

Froome got animated when he was asked about Sagan.

“Phenomenal rider,” Froome said of the long-haired rider with the Tinkoff team. “Most people in the peloton are scared of him, just his abilities. He can do everything. He chooses when he wants to go in the breakaway, how he wants to ride the finish.”

Froome profited from Sagan’s abilities by following him into a breakaway in Stage 11 to gain time on all of the other overall contenders.

“I was just surprised he didn’t attack on that last climb and ride away today but he still managed to win the stage,” Froome added.

The rolling 209-kilometer (130-mile) stage from Moirans-en-Montagne to the Swiss capital of Bern resembled the route of a single-day classic, with a section on cobblestones before a slight uphill finish.

Sagan is a specialist at stages like this, which exalt his unique blend of characteristics: He’s a punchy rider able to ride strong over short climbs, leave rivals behind on daredevil descents, and a top sprinter.

It was Sagan’s third stage win in this Tour and the seventh of his career.

Sondre Enger, another Norwegian, crossed third.

Sagan was greeted at the finish by a large contingent of fans waving Slovakia flags.

“For two years I did not win anything at the Tour, and now I’m winning again,” Sagan said.

“That’s life.”

Sagan also won Stage 2, which followed a similar course, in a sprint. And he took the world title with a late breakaway in the U.S. last year.

Froome kept his 1-minute, 47-second lead over Dutch rider Bauke Mollema, with Britain’s Adam Yates in third, 2:45 back.

The race resumes on Wednesday with four punishing stages of climbing in the Alps before Sunday’s mostly ceremonial finish in Paris.

Aiming to secure his third title in four years, Froome rejected talk that he had already sealed victory.

“Other teams have said they’re going to attack this week in the Alps and I expect they will,” Froome said. “To say the Tour is won and I don’t have any rivals, that’s rubbish. A lot can happen in four days in the mountains. All you need is one bad day in the mountains and you can lose minutes.”

There was a minute of silence at the start of the stage to pay tribute to the 84 victims of the truck attack in Nice. It was the third of three days of national mourning in France following the Bastille Day attack.

A big black banner hanging from a bridge leading into Bern read, “Solidarity with Nice.”

The peloton crossed into Switzerland midway through the leg, riding through lush, green valleys with views of snow-capped mountains before crossing through the medieval center of Bern, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Etixx-Quickstep teammates Julian Alaphilippe and Tony Martin, a three-time time trial world champion, got in an early breakaway and established a lead of more than five min-

utes on the peloton before being reeled in with slightly more than 20 kilometers to go.

Former world champion Rui Costa then launched a solo attack but Sagan preferred to wait until the Portuguese rider was caught, and take his chances in the bunch sprint.

Packers to honor Favre again Green Bay, Wis. — Former Packers quarterback Brett Favre plans to make another special trip back to Lambeau Field.

The team announced on Monday that Favre will appear at a ceremony at halftime of Green Bay’s game on Oct. 16 against Dallas. The ceremony will honor Favre’s induction to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, which will take place on Aug. 6 in Canton, Ohio.

Favre and the organization have mended their relationship following the quarterback’s bitter separation in 2008 stemming from questions about whether he would retire.

He returned to Green Bay last Thanksgiving, when the team unveiled his retired No. 5 on the Lambeau facade.

In the October ceremony, Favre’s name will be unveiled on the stadium facade alongside other former Packers in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Twins fire longtime GM Ryan Minneapolis — Minnesota Twins owner Jim Pohlad’s reverence for Terry Ryan has been evident for almost two decades, steadfastly supporting his general manager with a commitment uncommon in today’s game.

As the struggles on the field piled up over the last five years, even that enduring respect wasn’t enough to keep Ryan with the Twins.

Ryan was fired on Monday with the team holding the worst record in the American League and on pace to lose 100 games. The Twins entered the day 33-58, 21 games out of first place in the AL Central. Only Atlanta had a worse record in the majors.

“Sometimes you may have to do things that are hard,” Pohlad said. “I never try to shy away from hard decisions. I own this decision. We like to bring people from within up the organization. If we have to go outside we go outside.

There’s new ways of thinking. They’re not tied into old organizational ways of thinking.”

Ryan said he is leaving with “immense pride in being part of the Twins organization for the better part of three decades.”

Rob Antony, in his 29th season with the organization and ninth as the team’s assistant general manager, will take over on an interim basis. Pohlad said he would be considered for the permanent job.

Antony became a bit emotional when talking about Ryan before Minnesota’s game Monday night at Detroit.

“It’ll be fine as long as nobody asks me what he means to me,” Antony said. “It’s been tough.

Worked with the man for 20 years and have nothing but respect for him, and he’s been a mentor, he’s been like a second dad for me. So it’s been a tough day for a lot of people.”

Foster signs with Dolphins Miami — Four-time Pro Bowl running back Arian Foster took a big step Monday in his comeback from a torn Achilles tendon.

He found a team.

Foster signed a $1.5 million, one-year contract with the Miami Dolphins and said he’s fully healthy.

BIG 12 FOOTBALL MEDIA DAYS NOTES

Beaty’s ‘heart hurts’

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Dallas — A year ago, at this very event, we learned that new Kansas University football coach David Beaty was the son of a former Dallas police officer, and his father was within arm’s reach of Lee Harvey Oswald when the man who assassinated president John F. Kennedy was shot.

So it’s clear that Beaty’s ties to his hometown and, in particular, the police force in his hometown, run deep, and like many things in his world have had a profound impact on who and how Beaty is as a man.

That’s why it came as no surprise Monday, when Beaty opened his Q&A session at Big 12 media days at the Omni Hotel with a message about the recent police tragedy that rocked Dallas, mere miles away from the ballroom in which Beaty sat.

“Excited to be back here with you at Big 12 Conference Football Media Days,” Beaty began.

“Excited to be back home in my hometown of Dallas, Texas. As many of you know, I am from the

Dallas area, and my father (was) a police officer here. My heart hurts for the Dallas communities and for the communities across the country that are suffering and in pain right now. I pray that we will begin to listen to one another, love one another and get to the hard work of healing our nation.”

Sports and political or social issues do not always mix. But in this case, and others like it in the past, countless coaches and athletes have taken advantage of their platform to push the message of peace, understanding and even reform. It seemed that Beaty was doing exactly that before getting into the nuts and bolts of the upcoming football season.

“I believe that college football can be an example in the midst of our struggles in America,” he said. “Young men from all walks of life (and) different backgrounds coming together, listening to one another, working hard together, learning from one another, fighting together for a common goal. I think society

can learn a lot from these young men and I’m excited about working with some of them at KU.”

Difficult job? You bet During the past few decades bigger, taller, meaner, older men and all kinds in between have tried to tackle the job entrusted to second-year coach Beaty. And very few have succeeded.

So just how difficult is the Kansas football job?

Beaty was asked that question — and dozens of others — Monday at Big 12 Media Days in Dallas, and the KU coach gave an honest and enthusiastic answer.

“You know what? It is a difficult job,” Beaty said. “But all these jobs are difficult. But I tell you what, it’s a great opportunity. We know where we are headed, and our players do as well. I can’t wait for you guys to hear from those guys because I think you will hear in their voices, they know where we’re headed.”

Not that kind of leader Speculation that Montell Cozart’s appearance

as one of the KU representatives at Big 12 Media Days may have been a hint about the quarterback race between him and Ryan Willis was off-base.

“Montell is here because he earned it,” said Beaty said, alluding to KU’s hashtag of yesteryear.

Cozart, a fourth-year junior, started the 2015 season but watched as Willis started the final eight games after Cozart suffered a season-ending injury.

With both finally healthy, Beaty said the race to become the 2016 starter would go into preseason camp and last as long as it needed. Cozart was OK with that and proved he did not think his attendance gave him the upper hand in any way.

“I feel like I was picked to come down here because I’m a leader, along with these two guys beside me,” Cozart said.

“Coming in, I was timid, didn’t know what to expect and, over the years, we’ve gone through training and I’ve accepted the leadership role.”

Big 12 coaches mostly skirt topic of Baylor’s assault scandal

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Dallas — Coaches and football players from Kansas University, TCU, Texas Tech, Iowa State and Oklahoma State arrived Monday at the Omni Dallas Hotel ready to take on all questions at Big 12 Football Media Days. But on some occasions the topic of conversation steered away from those programs and toward the disastrous past few months for Baylor.

A sexual-assault scandal on the Waco, Texas, campus led to offseason changes in the university’s leadership, with football coach Art Briles and athletic director Ian McCaw pushed out in its wake, as well as BU president Kenneth Starr.

While TCU coach Gary Patterson, whose program has shared the Big 12 spotlight with the Bears on the football field the past few seasons, skirted discussing whether BU made the correct decision in getting rid of Briles — “You know, Baylor is not my problem. TCU is my problem,” Patterson said during a morning news

here,” Beaty said. “I wanted the world to see what type of good men we have there. And the crazy thing is, man, it was hard to choose (who to bring), because we’ve got a team full of them right now. And that’s how I know more than ever that we’re gonna get this thing done.”

Beaty, a Garland, Texas, native, knows it sounds a bit cheese-ballTexan of him when he emphasizes character and make-up as much as touchdowns and tackles, but he holds strong in his belief that teams cannot be truly great unless they are made up of great men.

“They’re gonna make mistakes,” Beaty admitted. “But I’m talking about genuinely good people that you can trust who you know are going do their part when asked.

I’ve been a part of a lot

TCU FOOTBALL COACH GARY PATTERSON MEETS THE PRESS at Big 12 Media Days on Monday in Dallas. conference — the Horned Frogs coach did attempt to throw some Big 12 solidarity in the Bears’ direction.

“Number one, Baylor is a good university. I have a lot of Baylor friends, and (new head coach) Jim Grobe and I have known each other for a long time, were on the Ethics Committee together …

They’re a good football program, and they’ve got a lot of good players coming back. I don’t see that changing much.”

Still, Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said the landscape for col-

lege football coaches has evolved, as the men in charge of dozens of student-athletes attempt to learn from the troubling events at Baylor.

“I think it made all coaches take a second look at how you do things.

That’s close to home,” Kingsbury said, noting in the past Briles’ success was something other coaches tried to replicate. “I’ve known him a long time and you try to coach your players your core values and how to be a good man. But you’re not with them 24 hours a day, so you talk about

of teams that you didn’t know what you were getting. With these guys, every week, we’re going to get everything they’ve got.

“Our championships, when they come at KU, are gonna be a by-product of being great men from the time we wake up from the time we go to bed.”

That’s a heavy philosophy for such young people to fully comprehend, but this group of Jayhawks makes it seem simple.

The players peg it as the biggest reason — right there with the enthusiasm and energy of the coaching staff — they were able to keep fighting in the face of colossal failure a season ago.

“That’s definitely part of it,” Smithson said.

“You’ll never see dysfunction on our team, coaches just yelling at players or players yelling back at coaches. You didn’t see that. And I think that’s something that’s gonna help us make

the transition from where we’re at to jumping the ranks.”

Of course, at the core of it all is Beaty’s belief that relationships make the world go ’round. He first learned this from his father, the former Dallas police officer who passed away when Beaty was just 5 years old, and, later, from his mother, whom he called “a tough lady.”

“She never hit us with her hand,” Beaty said.

“But she grabbed the nearest broom, the nearest glass, and we stayed in line. ... I think all of us kind of revert back to what we know and what we’ve been raised on.”

So that’s the way Beaty plans to raise this program that was desperately in need of consistency, direction and, yeah, even a little love when he arrived.

Producing better results on the field will not happen overnight, but now that it’s Year Two, Beaty and the Jayhawks believe they are closer to getting there. And a big

“I was trying to bunt the first couple,” Colon said. “I think the situation presented itself ...

I tried to get the bunt down but those guys were crashing in. We’re always talking about the situations of the game.

We’ve got to play aggressive and have to make things happen. That’s what makes this ballclub so good. We don’t play scared.”

With two outs, Shaw (1-4) walked Alex Gordon and Cheslor Cuthbert. Manship was summoned to face Paulo Orlando, who hit a goahead single. Whit Merrifield walked to load the bases before Dyson cleared them with his first career grand slam and his first home run of the season.

“I let the whole team down,” Manship said. “I let Corey down, Brian down, giving up his runs.

That stinks, for sure. I definitely feel sick to my stomach for how that went.”

Will the Indians be playing Dyson deeper Tuesday?

“No, because it’s an accident,” Dyson said. “I knew it was gone. It felt great off the bat. They don’t happen to me very often, so I take advantage of that.”

Kluber, tagged by the Royals for eight runs in five innings on June 15 at Kauffman Stadium, struck out eight and walked three in shutting them down.

He has allowed two or fewer runs in four of his past five starts.

accountability with your own players and holding each other to that. But, yeah, definitely, I think it made every coach in America take a step back and say, ‘OK, what can we do better in that area?’”

Meanwhile, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy likened the hot-button Baylor discussion to talking politics or religion. “… There is not anything that any of us can say other than we have confidence or I have confidence in our league that we will do everything possible to try to make the best decisions possible,” Gundy offered. “It hasn’t really affected us at Oklahoma State.”

While the OSU coach said he knew very little about the scope of the Baylor situation and what’s going on with the program now, he praised the athletic department’s decision to hire Grobe, who worked previously as the head coach at Ohio (1995-2000) and Wake Forest (2001-13).

The Bears will have their media sessions today, along with Texas, West Virginia, Kansas J-W Staff Reports State and Oklahoma.

National League Marlins 3, Phillies 2, 11 innings Philadelphia — Jose Fernandez tied a careerhigh with 14 strikeouts, and Martin Prado hit a solo homer off Brett Oberholtzer (2-2) in the 11th.

Fernandez pitched 61⁄3 innings and became the pitcher to reach 500 strikeouts in the fewest innings: 400.

Christian Yelich hit an RBI double off Jeanmar Gomez with two outs in the ninth and scored on Marcell Ozuna’s single.

Kyle Barraclough (62) pitched one inning, and A.J. Ramos finished for his 30th save, retiring Maikel Franco on a game-ending flyout to the warning track.

Prado hit his third homer of the season off Brett Oberholtzer (2-2).

Kyle Barraclough (6-2) pitched one inning for the win. A.J. Ramos finished for his 30th save in 31 tries, retiring Maikel Franco on a fly ball to the warning track in left-center to end the game.

“Even in a game that basically we got handcuffed most of the night, our pitching kept us there,” Marlins manager Don Mattingly said.

The Marlins had been 0-40 when trailing after eight innings.

American League Tigers 1, Twins 0 Detroit — Matt Boyd allowed three hits in six outstanding innings, and Detroit beat Minnesota to hand the last-place Twins another loss just hours after they announced the firing of general manager Terry Ryan.

Justin Upton homered in the second to back Boyd (1-2), who struck out seven with one walk and provided a welcome boost to a rotation that has shown little depth of late.

Yankees 2, Orioles 1 New York — Alex Rodriguez hit his 696th career homer — his first since June 18 — Ivan Nova (7-5) grinded through six innings, and Aroldis Chapman hit 105 mph while locking down his 19th save.

The No Runs DMC triad, possibly in its final days with Andrew Miller and Chapman rumored to be on the trade block, covered the final three innings to extend its scoreless streak to 22 innings.

Mariners 4, White Sox 3 Seattle — Adam Lind hit a three-run pinch-hit homer in the ninth inning to give Seattle an improbable comeback victory over Chicago, wasting a dominant performance

by Chris Sale.

Seattle, which had managed just one hit in eight innings off Sale, rallied against closer David Robertson, who had recorded 13 straight save opportunities.

Interleague Rockies 7, Rays 4 Denver — Trevor Story hit a two-run homer in the fifth, Colorado’s bullpen stranded the tying run on third in two straight innings.

Story’s 22nd homer of the season gave the Rockies a 5-1 lead. The bullpen made it hold up to make a winner out of Tyler Anderson (2-3).
