t looks like Lawrence really is going to get another golf course. I’ve been reporting for years that an Arkansas-based company has filed plans to build a new nine-hole course in northwest Lawrence that will be surrounded by apartments. But now there are actual bulldozers and other equipment clearing the land.

Dirt work also has begun on a new apartment complex and single-family neighborhood a bit east of Rock Chalk Park, and dirt work is underway on a parcel of ground a bit south

KU professor’s gene-sequence study offers new conclusion

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

The human species originated in Africa and, over thousands of years, spread across the world and adapted to different surroundings, anthropologists have long agreed.

More disagreement surrounds precisely when and via what path people took, particularly to the Americas — which, along with Oceania, was one of the last areas of the KANSAS UNIVERSITY world to be settled.

A Kansas University professor co-authored a study, published this week in the journal Science, that provides an answer based on years of genomic sequencing.

Topeka sewage releases more than water under bridge for City Commission Staff Reports

Lawrence city commissioners at their meeting Tuesday night said they may send a letter to state and federal environmental regulators regarding releases of sewage into the Kansas River that have come from the city of Topeka’s wastewater treatment plant. There have been two instances of raw sewage going into the river since April, the most recent — 55,000 gallons — on Tuesday, when a sewage main broke. There was a third instance that involved partially treated

wastewater being released into the Kaw due to heavy rains around the plant, a legal practice during inclement weather.

The commission CITY COMMISSION may not put Commissioner Matthew Herbert in charge of writing the letter, however. Herbert posted some strong comments on his City Commission Facebook page Tuesday about the release. He even put them in letter form.

cern with implementing security measures like placing guns in facilities is finding the line between remaining a welcoming environment — especially for potential recruits — while also keeping its service members safe.

“How do you make yourselves accessible and yet secure?” Bauman said.

“That’s the big question.”

Bauman said that though Chattanooga is more than 700 miles away, the shootings resonate with Kansans.

“No matter where you are in the country, you hear something like that and it hits home,” Bauman said. “We all feel it, whether we’re involved in the military or not.”

Two such Kansans, Andrew Pupanek, of Altoona, and Justin Chard, of Chanute, were so moved by the events in Chattanooga that they took a day off to protest in front of the Lawrence U.S. Air Force and U.S. Naval recruiting centers at 2223 Louisiana St. Wednesday afternoon.

Armed with AR15 rifles, the two stood guard along the sidewalk of The Malls Shopping Center, where the recruitment centers are, holding signs that read “Arm Our Troops.”

Someone must have found the pair suspicious, because a law enforcement officer was called to check out the situation.

After running both men’s IDs and determining no crime had been committed, Chard said the officer let them go with a “Have a nice day.” Kansas is an open-carry state.

Pupanek and Chard, who both had parents in the military, said they got the idea for from other military supporters on social media. Though Pupanek said he did not expect to have to actually use his rifle to confront a potential attacker at the facility, he hoped their presence would send a message.

“We want to let the bad guys know we’re not going to sit down and let them have their way with this country,” Pupanek said. “People are doing it nationwide, and we wanted to show local support.”

Pupanek, who took a vacation day from work for the demonstration, said he believed banning service members from carrying guns inside American facilities was not only unsafe, but absurd.

“If we can trust our soldiers to go overseas and protect us there, we need to trust them here (with weaponry),” Pupanek said.

Bauman said he did not know a timeline as to when a decision would be made on further Kansas National Guard security measures, but said the review of safety matters is ongoing.

BRIEFLY Police focus on gang shootings Topeka — Topeka’s police chief says his department will be relentless in searching for those responsible for a recent outbreak of gangrelated shootings in a south Topeka neighborhood.

Chief James Brown told City Council members on Tuesday that six people have been arrested in connection with eight recent shooting incidents in the HiCrest community.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports two of the shootings claimed the lives of a 5-year-old girl and 45-year-old man, but nobody has been arrested for those.

Brown says criminals committed violent acts in the neighborhood, causing others to retaliate. The chief says the perpetrators are “very violent, dangerous individuals who have no regard for human life,” which has him concerned about his officers’ safety.

Mayor Larry Wolgast noted that the shootings haven’t been random situations.

“One of the big breakthroughs is that the entire genome has been characterized for a number of ancient individuals, plus modern populations,” Crawford said.

“This study also pretty well does in the whole idea that gene flow from Europe contributed to the original migration of present-day Native Americans.”

Crawford was part of an international research team headed by the Center for GeoGenetics at the University of Copenhagen.

The new study supports decades of research Crawford has done in the past, albeit with access to less precise technology.

He’s been researching the populating of the Americas since the mid1970s and, in 1989, led the first foreign anthropological team into Siberia after the breakup of the Soviet Union. At that time — “pre-DNA days,” he said — he was studying primarily blood groups and proteins.

About 14 percent of children also lived in “concentrated” poverty areas, meaning 30 percent or more of the population in their census tract was in poverty, according to the report. In Kansas, 9 percent of children live in areas of concentrated poverty.

Kansas ranked ninth in the country for economic well-being based on the percentage of children living in poverty; children whose parents don’t have full-time, year-round employment; children in households that pay more than 30 percent of their income for housing; and teens who are neither in school nor working.

Ex-KU teacher aims to withdraw plea in rape case

By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

The attorney for a 37-yearold Lawrence resident who pleaded no contest in May to attempted rape and aggravated criminal sodomy told Douglas County District Judge Sally Pokorny that he plans to ask the court to withdraw his client’s plea.

Orion Mark Graf, a former Kansas University graduate teaching assistant, was originally charged in June 2014 with two counts of rape while the victim was incapable of giving consent, one count of aggravated assault

and one count of felony criminal threat.

He was previously set to stand trial for those charges in May, before taking a plea agreement to the reduced charges.

Graf pleaded no Graf contest last year to two counts of breach of privacy after secretly videotaping people in dressing rooms in downtown Lawrence in 2012 and 2013 in a separate case. In that case, investigators found a small batteryoperated camera linked to Graf in the changing room at the Gap, 643 Massachusetts

St., and later found 17,000 video clips on his computers featuring “hidden camera videos in locations where people were naked.”

While investigating that case, investigators found evidence that led to the attempted rape case. Lawrence police detective James Schneider said at a preliminary hearing in July that he discovered photographs that appeared to show a female victim unconscious while “sexual acts” were being performed, according to court documents. The victim was

18 years old when the crimes were alleged to have occurred.

Graf’s attorney, Michael Clarke, said Wednesday that he intends to prepare a motion to withdraw his client’s plea. Clarke said he would like to have his client undergo a mental evaluation to determine if Graf was competent to enter his plea in May. Graf entered his plea while another attorney, Branden Smith, was representing him.

Graf will return to court Sept. 17 for arguments on whether the court should allow him to withdraw his plea.

He remains in the Douglas County Jail.

State tax amnesty program taking applications

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — The Kansas Department of Revenue is encouraging people with delinquent state tax bills to sign up for an amnesty program that will allow them to avoid paying penalties and interest.

The amnesty period runs from Sept. 1 through Oct. 15. Taxpayers with delinquent bills will be

able to apply for the amnesty program starting in late August through the department’s website.

“The amnesty program allows taxpayers who have delinquent taxes to erase their debt without the added cost of the penalties and interest that might have been assessed,” Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan said.

The program applies to penalties and interest

on tax debt accrued for tax periods ending on or before Dec. 31, 2013, and does not apply to matters that are in appeal.

The amnesty program was part of the budget and tax package that Kansas lawmakers approved this year. Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration is expecting it to generate about $30 million in revenue that otherwise might not have come in.

FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS LAWRENCE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATORS, ASSOCIATES AND FRIENDS on June 25 celebrated the generosity of Stan and Lois Zaremba, pictured with former LMH Endowment Association board member Connie Sollars.

Taurean Smith, customer service representative, Lawrence “As long as they’re leashed and the owners are in control of them, there’s no reason to ban them.”

According to the Department of Revenue, the amnesty program can be applied to individual, corporate and fiduciary income taxes; privilege taxes; estate taxes; withholding and estimated taxes; state and local sales taxes or compensating use taxes; liquor enforcement and drink taxes; cigarette and tobacco products taxes; and mineral severance taxes.

Information about eligibility and answers to some frequently asked questions are available on the department’s tax amnesty website. An application form for the program will be available online at the end of August.

County OKs request from IT department to recycle electronics

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @conrad_swanson

Douglas County commissioners temporarily waived the county’s IT purchasing policy to allow the Information Technology Department to recycle electronics that no longer work or are beyond repair.

Jim Lawson, the county’s IT director, said the department has recycled old and nonworking computers for years, but recently noticed an omission in the county’s policy.

“It was noticed that our purchasing policy, where it talks about destruction, didn’t specifically mention the ability to recycle,” he said. “So we’re just trying to get the policies in alignment.”

Currently, the county houses outdated technol-

ogy at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, Lawson said.

But because the annual county fair begins Friday, the department needed to approach county commissioners for approval to recycle the equipment.

“It’s our responsibility to future generations to recycle this stuff,” he said. “When you have electronics like this, you shouldn’t just throw them in the dump; you should get them recycled and scrubbed of all the harmful stuff.”

The department will take equipment to Midwest Recycling Center in Kansas City, Mo., Lawson said. The facility does not charge for the service.

BRIEFLY Man charged in rape Eudora CPA Picnic gets new attorney festivities begin

SEVEN STUDENTS FROM KANSAS UNIVERSITY ARE INTERNS FOR THE SUMMER at Wal-Mart’s corporate headquarters in Bentonville, Ark. It is an unusually large number of interns from a single school, said Scott Markley, senior media relations manager with Wal-Mart. The interns are Dustin Illgner, Kristen Krebs, Abigail Peters, Samantha Kolkhorst, Christina Jiabao Yuan, Khaled Albadawi and Matthew Armstrong.

A second attorney for a 53-year-old man charged with one count of rape of a person incapable of giving consent in connection with a June 15, 2014, incident in downtown Lawrence withdrew from his case Wednesday.

Carlton M. Grass, of Grass Lawrence, has been in the Douglas County Jail on a $50,000 bond since his arrest last September on a warrant for the charge. Grass’ first court-appointed attorney, Adam Hall, withdrew from the case in February, pushing the trial date back. His second attorney, Gerald Wells, has been on the case since then.

But on Wednesday, that attorney also withdrew from the case. The court then appointed a new attorney, Angela Keck, to Grass’ case.

Grass’ jury trial is scheduled for Nov. 2. He is scheduled to next appear in court Oct. 23.

Eudora’s three-day-long CPA Picnic will begin this evening, a festival representative said.

The annual event serves as a community fundraiser, said president Billy Langston. Money raised will go toward scholarships for local high school students, Eudora’s food bank, Lions Club and more.

The picnic will begin with a carnival today at 6 p.m. in CPA Park at Eighth and Main streets, Langston said.

Friday morning at 8 a.m., a golf tournament will be held at Lawrence’s Eagle Bend Golf Course, 1250 E. 902 Road. A children’s parade will follow around 6 p.m. beginning south of town and running up through Main Street.

The event’s main parade will take place Saturday night around 6 p.m., following the same route as the children’s parade, Langston said. Live music, dancing, food and beverages at CPA Park will follow the parade.

The event runs through midnight on Saturday, Langston said.

Poverty

woman for the Kansas Department for Children and Families, said the report showed fewer Kansas children were living in poverty in 2013 than in 2012. The number decreased from 135,000 children in 2012 to 132,000 in 2013, though the percentage was about 19 percent in both years.

“The (poverty) ‘worsened’ notation on this year’s kids count profile is compared to 2008,” she said. “Kansas improved in 14 of the 16 indicators.”

tissue but allows not-forprofit donations if the woman having the abortion gives consent. The Kansas statute is modeled on the federal law and makes it a felony, punishable by at least nine years in prison, for a first-time violator.

Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri, which operates an Overland Park clinic that performs abortions, says it has no program for fetal tissue donations. South Wind Women’s Center in Wichita also said it has no program for donations.

Culp said her group wants to ensure that the state’s ban is adequately enforced and, “That’s not going to happen without

a thorough investigation.”

But Laura McQuade, president and CEO of the regional Planned Parenthood chapter, said there’s no need for legislators to review the 2000 law, and the investigation sought

by Brownback merely continues “a political fight” over abortion.

“It doesn’t have anything to do with the health and safety of patients,” she said. “This investigation is clearly unnecessary.”

The state medical board’s investigations are confidential until one of its litigation attorneys files a disciplinary petition against a physician’s license for the board to consider. Allegations of criminal wrongdoing are pursued by the attorney general’s office or local prosecutors.

Attorney General Derek Schmidt also sent a letter to the Kansas medical

board Tuesday asking it to investigate, saying it is in the best position to answer the “threshold question” of whether fetal tissue has been sold in Kansas.

The state law allows payments to cover the costs of handling and transporting fetal tissue, requiring documentation if it is more than $25. It also requires anyone who transfers fetal tissue to file an annual report with the state Department of Health and Environment.

Kansas legislators enacted the law following allegations that two independent contractors for the Planned Parenthood clinic in Overland Park profited illegally from fetal tissue. An FBI investigation found that no laws were broken; Planned Parenthood terminated agreements with the contractors and was not accused itself of wrongdoing.

It is troubling that childhood poverty increased from 2008 and that more children are living in areas of concentrated poverty, said Shannon Cotsoradis, president and CEO of Kansas Action for Children.

“This should be a time of growing prosperity for Kansas children and families, but instead we are mostly stagnant,” she said. “Our state’s unsustainable tax structure threw Kansas into a dangerous, perpetual budget crisis. As long as the Kansas budget is stuck in recession-era levels of investment, Kansas children will be stuck with a recession-era quality of life.”

2 tribes join lawsuit to block Oklahoma casino expansion Wichita (ap) — Two tribes who operate their own casinos are seeking to join the legal fray in support of efforts by Kansas to block the Quapaw tribe from expanding its Downstream Casino in Oklahoma into southeast Kansas, arguing they have “significant competitive interests” in the outcome of the litigation.

On Wednesday, the state of Kansas and Cherokee County argued in a court filing that the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska and the Sac and Fox Nation of Missouri in Kansas and Nebraska should be allowed to intervene in the state’s lawsuit against the Quapaw.

Kansas sued the Quapaw tribe to keep it from expanding its casino into southeastern Kansas, arguing it would harm that state’s efforts to build its own casino in the area.

At issue in the lawsuit is a decision by the National Indian Gaming Commission to allow casino gambling on the Quapaw tribe’s land in Cherokee County, Kansas. That land, purchased by Quapaw in 2006 for a parking lot, is adjacent to its Downstream Casino site across the state line in Oklahoma.

The federal government put the 124-acre strip of Kansas land in trust for the tribe

in 2012, and the commission in November declared that the site could be treated as reservation land and used for casino gambling.

But the tribes joining the lawsuit contend that the decision could allow any number of other Indian tribes to come to Kansas, establish a minimal presence in the state and then seek to have land taken into trust.

Daughter fed up with fiance’s slovenly family Dear Annie: I am running out of advice for my daughter, “Katie.”

She lives with her fiance. Last year, his middle-aged, disabled father moved in with them. A month ago, his sister, her fiance and their two toddlers also moved in. The children wreak havoc on her clean, organized home. Neither the sister nor the father will clean up after themselves when they use the kitchen. The sister lets her kids get into everything. The father sits in his room all day.

To keep the peace, Katie chooses to keep quiet until she comes to see me. Then she unloads all of her aggravation. I don’t know what to tell her. How does she get these lazy, sloppy people to pick up after themselves? — Katie’s Mom Dear Mom: Katie isn’t asking you for advice.

Annie’s Mailbox

She is frustrated by her home situation and is venting to you because you are her safe refuge.

If she truly wants the freeloaders to help out (or leave), she needs to discuss how to handle this with her fiance and reach an agreement before it overwhelms their relationship. Simply allow her to air her feelings, listen attentively, nod your head and make sympathetic sounds. If she asks what to do, tell her to talk to her fiance.

Chef, kids duke it out in FYI series Have there ever been so many kids in a hot kitchen? “Man vs.

Child: Chef Showdown” (8 p.m., FYI) is the latest show to ask juveniles to julienne their carrots and so much more. On “Showdown,” a team of five precocious toque-wearers — Cloyce (13), Holden (14), Emmalee (12), Dylan (11) and Estie (7) — must challenge an executive-level chef.

The pros face an impossible and thankless job. The only thing worse than defeating a child is losing to one.

Or vice-versa.

A d a m Gertler, chef and TV personality, hosts the series. For those who watch very carefully, he was the runner-up on “The Next Food Network Star” in its fourth season.

O On a similar family theme, “Food Fighters” (7 p.m., NBC) pits a mom and self-described former cheerleader against a panel of professional chefs.

Again, either these highly paid experts are shown up by an amateur, or seem like bullies trying to beat the girl next door.

Reality television borrows heavily from other genres, most notably soap opera (“The Bachelor”) and professional wrestling. In this case, the professional cooks take on the role of the effete villain, the know-it-all we’re supposed to root against.

Adam Richman, familiar star from a gazillion cable series, is your host.

For the record, NBC’s Thursday night lineup now consists of a show virtually indistinguishable from many cable offerings and two hours of “Dateline” (8 p.m.) This on a night when NBC’s “Must See TV” series used to attract audiences exceeding 20 million.

Comedies, once central to NBC’s Thursday night dominance, are no longer in the network’s plans. Come this fall, look for the return of “The Blacklist,” a reboot of a cult fantasy, “Heroes Reborn,” and new thriller “The Player,” set in the world of Las Vegas highstakes gambling. Wesley Snipes stars in this series, from the executive producers of “The Blacklist.”

Going Out A guide to what’s happening in Lawrence

FOREVER FRIENDS ———————

Doo-wop band Dean Monkey and the Dropouts among local acts performing at this weekend’s Forever Fest

By Fally Afani Special to the Journal-World

Lawrence musicians will dive into all sorts of genres, from punk to garage to hiphop. But if you’re in the mood for doo-wop, there’s only one band that will give it to you.

Dean Monkey and the Dropouts is one of the larger bands in Lawrence, with guitarists, a keyboard player, a horn section, and two to four vocalists at a time. On Friday, you can watch them all try to cram onto the Replay Lounge stage during Forever Fest, an event celebrating the Whatever Forever record label featuring performances by eight bands.

Dirty doo-wop The label has become a perfect home for unusual bands like Dean Monkey and the Dropouts. The band’s doowop isn’t of the classic variety, and may as well come with an advisory label. Their doo-wop is dirty, crass and naughty. We wouldn’t expect anything less from a band that played one of their first shows in their underwear in a sewage ditch dubbed “The Church of Malt Liquor.” After a video of the show started spreading around Lawrence, locals grew curious about this bizarre and vulgar group.

Danny Barkofske is one of the many crooners in the group, and remembers the sewage ditch performance fondly.

“We wanted to do something with one of our very first shows that would garner some attention or make us stand out a little bit,” he says.

“That was one of our main goals when we first started, was throwing people off and kind of surprising people with what they were going to see.”

That wasn’t a bad strategy at the time Dean Monkey and the Dropouts started appearing. There were mostly indie-rock bands that stuck to the same style of music and playing to the same group of people. So when a group of young musicians showed up with a new style, local music fans took to it quickly. Now that they had everyone’s attention, they had to map out a game plan.

Barkofske said it was time to figure out what direction they wanted to take the band.

Dean Monkey and the Dropouts

IF YOU GO Dean Monkey and the Dropouts will perform along with seven other bands from the Whatever Forever record label during Forever Fest starting at 6 p.m. Friday at the Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St.

“When we first started, we were keeping to the doo-wop formula of the sound, and it just kind of happened that we started to evolve,” he says.

The band’s music did evolve to take on more hints of soul and funk, and they ditched the undies for matching colorful costumes at every show.

So instead of being the band of oddballs that fans came to gawk at, Dean Monkey and the Dropouts became the band you came to get down and boogie with. Guitarist Max Yoder started noticing a pattern.

“I find that with bands, the more you play, the more different directions you go. You have to figure out how all those different directions connect,” he says. “All our songs are danceable and fun. I think, generally, we want everything to be catchy and fun.”

Celebrating camaraderie While Dean Monkey and the Dropouts were solidifying their identity, a host of other bands were in the same predicament. Bands that were

a little bit odd but wanted to make fun music and play serious shows in Lawrence were now finding a home on the Whatever Forever music label. Bands like Oils and CS Luxem helped shape the sound of this collective, and were later joined by The Ovaries-eez, Invisible Public Library and Arc Flash.

To celebrate this musical commune, the label started hosting Forever Fest. Now in its third year, the label will also jointly be releasing a compilation of the bands’ music to commemorate the occasion.

Rolf Petermann is the invisible force behind the label, the head honcho who has worked tirelessly to pull bands out of sewage ditches and put them on some of the most popular stages in Lawrence, including the indoor and outdoor stages at the Replay for Forever Fest.

“It’s mainly to celebrate local music. It’s almost like a party for the artists, because so many of the artists are friends with each other,” he says. “This is one of those events where they can all be a part of it and see each other’s music.”

That type of camaraderie has been essential in shaping the label. If you saw one Whatever Forever band play a show, you likely saw several of the label’s other musicians happily cheering them on in the audience. While the musicians were supporting one another and rubbing styles off of each other, the label intentionally kept business small.

Right now, Whatever Forever releases music digitally and on cassette.

“We look at ourselves as a platform and a stepping stone to a bigger label for our bands that want that. For some bands, that’s not their goal,” Petermann says. “We’re kind of at a level that can put out bands that are doing this as a career and are at their early stages, and also bands that are serious and love what they’re doing, but also want to have a family life and a career that necessarily isn’t the nightlife as a professional musician.”

Barkofske says Dean Monkey and the Dropouts is one of those bands that is serious about what they’re doing, but keeping it local for now.

“It’s never been a goal of ours to be associated with a well-known label, we just enjoy the camaraderie that we have,” he says, noting that some bands on the label even began covering each other’s songs at live performances.

“It’s super nice to have a collective of like-minded artists where you can bump ideas.

There’s no other feeling of having people know your stuff, dig your music. That’s what the other bands in Whatever Forever do a lot. We just make each other feel good about our music, because we enjoy each other’s music so much.”

Website calls Free State Kansas’ best craft brewery As if you needed another excuse to go to Free State Brewing Co.’s cheap pint night on Mondays, entertainment website Thrillist has named the longtime Lawrence restaurant and beermaker as the best craft brewery in Kansas.

The site recently made a list of the best craft brewers in every state, and the inclusion of Free State should come as no surprise to Lawrencians. It’s not exactly a secret how much people love brews like the John Brown, Free State Golden and, one of the 9 Drink Wonders of Lawrence, the Ad Astra Ale. Here’s what Thrillist had to say: “Tallgrass has a bit bigger profile and reach, but there simply isn’t a finer beer in the land than the exceedingly complex, yet balanced Old Backus Barleywine from Kansas’ original craft kingpin, Free State, which has been keeping Lawrence’s collective thirst quenched since 1989.

Rock Chalk!”

Employees at Thrillist must have done some bar-hopping in Lawrence before, because the website also recently gave some love to Johnny’s Tavern as the most iconic bar in Kansas.

Trump still has grip on GOP

EDITORIALS

Teacher loss A large increase in the number of Kansas teachers leaving the state or the profession doesn’t bode well for the future of K-12 public schools in the state.

A

new report on the number of Kansas teachers leaving their jobs should be of huge concern to state officials. The number of teachers retiring or leaving the field has risen dramatically in the last several years, and that loss could have a big impact on the quality of K-12 education in the state.

Statistics compiled by the Kansas State Department of Education show a troubling trend. At least 3,720 Kansas teachers left the state, retired or took non-education jobs following the 201415 school year. Of those, at least 654 quit their jobs and left the state. Teacher retirements after the 2014-15 school year (2,326) were almost double the number recorded after the 2011-12 school year (1,260). A total of 740 Kansas teachers decided to leave the profession entirely after the last school year, compared with 491 who made that move in 2011-12.

To some extent, this exodus was predicted because of the number of baby boomer teachers who were reaching retirement age. State school officials had warned for some time that a bump in the number of retiring teachers was on the horizon. What is more troubling about the recent report is the number of teachers who are taking jobs outside the state or leaving their profession entirely.

Although it’s hard to know exactly what is fueling this trend, teacher organizations and school district officials report that recent state actions have created legal and financial uncertainties that could make teachers more likely to leave the field. The state has sought to limit teachers’ bargaining power and right to due process and moved to a block-grant funding system that will keep school funding flat even in districts with increased enrollments. New policies that will allow unlicensed teachers in some Kansas schools also added insult to injury for many teachers.

Kansas is not the only state having trouble recruiting and retaining teachers, but the situation here is such that other states see an opportunity to try to lure dissatisfied Kansas teachers. For instance, local motorists may have noticed billboards placed on the Kansas Turnpike near Lawrence advertising teaching jobs available in the Independence, Mo., school district.

Teaching has been a perennially undervalued profession, but good teachers are a vital resource for Kansas. Without well-trained and dedicated teachers, it will be impossible to maintain the quality of K-12 schools in the state. Not only is the state losing teachers, it is creating an atmosphere that makes teaching a less attractive career choice for young people.

Kansas may not be alone in this dealing with this challenge, but the large increase in teacher departures last year should be a matter of concern and a call to action for state officials.

Washington — Don’t be sure the McCain episode is the beginning of the end of Donald Trump’s bizarre presidential campaign. Don’t even be sure it’s the end of the beginning. Attacking him with censure and shame is like trying to destroy Godzilla with electricity: It might just make him stronger.

Why should anyone pay the slightest attention to the Trump circus? Because the most recent polls — to the GOP establishment’s great consternation — show him

Eugene Robinson eugenerobinson@washpost.com

“

There are two things about Trump that politicians find nearly impossible to understand: He has nothing to lose. And as long as people talk about him, he doesn’t care what they say.” in first place. Also because Trump, rather than any of his more experienced rivals, is setting the agenda for the race.

On Saturday, he committed what for most politicians would be a fatal gaffe. Speaking extemporaneously at a candidates’ forum in Iowa, Trump turned his rhetorical blunderbuss toward Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who had accused Trump of using outrageous statements about illegal immigration to incite the “crazies” in the GOP base.

“He’s not a war hero,” Trump said of McCain.

“He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured.”

Trump also derided McCain’s academic record at the U.S. Naval Academy and

his record as a senator.

It says something about our politics that denigrating McCain’s war record was seen as more transgressive than claiming the government of Mexico is deliberately sending hordes of rapists and other criminals across the border into the United States. McCain served in Vietnam as a Navy pilot; he was shot down and endured years of torture and abuse as a prisoner of war.

Rick Perry said it was “a new low in American politics.”

Jeb Bush accused Trump of “slanderous attacks” against McCain. Lindsey Graham said Trump’s remarks were “stupid” and disqualified him as commander in chief. Scott Walker, Rick Santorum and Bobby Jindal also chimed in with outraged opprobrium — although Ted Cruz, who has gone out of his way to be nice to Trump, confined himself to calling McCain a war hero and “a friend of mine,” which might be news to McCain.

Republican National Committee strategist Sean Spicer said on Twitter that there is “no place in our party or our country for comments that disparage those who have served honorably.” The only remotely

witty response came from Mitt Romney, who tweeted that the difference between McCain and Trump is that “Trump shot himself down.”

Well, maybe. My guess is that those who speak of Trump in the past tense are guilty of wishful thinking.

There are two things about Trump that politicians find nearly impossible to understand: He has nothing to lose. And as long as people talk about him, he doesn’t care what they say.

Go ahead, chatter away about how Trump clamored for a series of student draft deferments while McCain languished in a North Vietnamese prison camp. Draw all the contrast you want between the injured pilot who subsisted on gruel and the New York playboy who frequented the city’s best restaurants and flashiest night clubs. See if Trump cares.

Rather than exhibit remorse or shame — concepts he might not understand — Trump bulled ahead in his criticism of McCain’s record.

“The reality is that John McCain the politician has made America less safe, sent our brave soldiers into wrongheaded foreign adventures, covered up for Presi-

U.S. has system of injustice The United States does not have a justice system.

If we define a justice system as a system designed for the production of justice, then it seems obvious that term cannot reasonably be applied to a system that countenances the mass incarceration by race and class of hundreds of thousands of nonviolent offenders. Any system that vacuums in one out of every three AfricanAmerican males while letting a banker who launders money for terrorist-connected organizations, Mexican drug cartels and Russian mobsters off with a fine is not a justice system.

No, you call that an injustice system.

This is something I’ve been saying for years. Imagine my surprise when, last week, President Obama said it, too. “Any system that allows us to turn a blind eye to hopelessness and despair,” he said in a speech before the NAACP in Philadelphia, “that’s not a justice system, that’s an injustice system.”

He called for reforms, including the reduction or elimination of mandatory minimum sentencing and the repeal of laws that bar ex-felons from voting.

This was the day after Obama commuted the sentences of 46 nonviolent drug offenders, and two days before he became the first president to visit a prison, Federal Correctional Institution El Reno, near Oklahoma City. “There but for the grace of God,” he said, minutes after poking his head into an empty 9-by-10 cell that houses three inmates.

It was more than just an acknowledgment of his per-

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

Apparently, the president has decided to make this a priority of his final 18 months in office. Even better, the call for reform enjoys bipartisan support.” sonal good fortune. Given that Obama, his two immediate predecessors, and such disparate luminaries as Sarah Palin, John Kerry, Newt Gingrich, Al Gore, Jeb Bush and Rick Santorum are known to have used illicit drugs when they were younger, it was also a tacit acknowledgment that fate takes hairpin turns.

And that the veil separating drug offender from productive citizen is thinner than we sometimes like to admit.

Welcome to what may be a transformational moment: the end of an odious era of American jurisprudence.

Meaning, the era of mass incarceration.

Apparently, the president has decided to make this a priority of his final 18 months in office. Even better, the call for reform enjoys bipartisan support. Republican Sens. Rand Paul and Ted Cruz, among others, have embraced the cause. And the very conservative Koch Brothers have chosen to “ban the box” (i.e.,

dent Obama with the VA scandal and has spent most of his time in the Senate pushing amnesty,” Trump declared Monday in a USA Today oped. “A number of my competitors for the Republican nomination have no business running for president. I do not need to be lectured by any of them.”

Oh, but he does need to be the center of attention, whether he’s being lectured, hectored, raked over the coals or praised to the heavens. And for yet another week, the GOP campaign is about him, not about anyone else. In Trump’s world, that’s called winning.

I’m not sure that Republican grandees understand the nature of Trump’s appeal, which is that he defies the traditional customs and strictures of politics. He doesn’t censor himself. He doesn’t apologize. When somebody hits him, he hits back.

Even if the McCain flap were to cost Trump fully half of his support, which I think is highly unlikely, he’d still be a top-tier candidate. The GOP isn’t free of him yet. Godzilla is still on the loose.

OLD HOME TOWN

100

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for July 23, 1915: years “Work on the ago city’s new paving IN 1915 on both the east and west sides of town is going on rapidly since the weather has cleared and made working conditions good. The widening of the cemetery road, which was held up for some time by the rainy weather, is well underway and will be finished soon. Work on the west side will requires several days before completion.

The country roads are gradually worked into shape and the township and county officers have been keeping men at work steadily since the weather has cleared.... Citizens of Grant township have repaired the road near the Pine farm which was completely cut in two by the recent flood on the north side when the waters from Mud Creek broke in behind the dikes, and the way to Tonganoxie will soon be passable again. The unpaved streets in the western part of the city are in bad shape and are very rough and many of them upgrown with weeds. Sixth street, west of Mississippi, is too rough for automobiles and is badly grown up with weeds. North and south streets near the city limits are badly washed and can hardly be crossed by wagons.”

“During a heavy gale about a week ago a frame silo on F. W. Pratt’s farm near Vinland blew down and was pretty badly wrecked. It was practically new, and supposed to be solidly built. Undoubtedly a small tornado hit it. It was eighteen feet in diameter and thirty-six feet in height.”

stop requiring ex-offenders to disclose their prison records to prospective employers on their job applications).

All of which raises the promise that, just maybe, something will actually be done.

It is long past “about time.”

Our color-coded, class-conscious, zero-tolerance, punishment-centric, mandatory minimum system of “justice” has made us the largest jailer on earth. One in four of the world’s prisoners is in an American lockup. This insane rate of imprisonment has strained resources and decimated communities.

It has also shattered families and impoverished children, particularly black ones.

So many people bewail or condemn the fact that a disproportionate number of black children grow up without fathers, never connecting the dots to the fact that a disproportionate number of black fathers are locked up for the same nonviolent drug offenses for which white fathers routinely go free.

The “get tough on crime” wave that swept over this country in the ’80s and ’90s was born of the unfortunate American penchant for applying simplistic answers to complicated questions. But bumper sticker solutions have a way of bringing unintended consequences.

We will be dealing with these unintended consequences for generations to come. But perhaps we are finally ready to take steps toward reversing — Compiled by Sarah St. John that historic blunder.

And giving America a justice system worthy of the Read more Old Home Town at name.

amongst 30 buildings.

That’s 957 new bedrooms for the area.

The second phase will add another 248 living units, or 388 bedrooms.

The second phase is on the west edge of the property, pretty close to the Rock Chalk Park complex. The area in between the west end and east end largely will be undeveloped because there are some sensitive environmental features of the property.

A public walking trail will be built through the area. The project also includes two clubhouses, two outdoor pools, a tennis court, basketball court, putting green and other amenities. The plans also are showing what looks to be a roundabout on Queens Road, leading into the new street that will be the main entrance for the development.

The developers previously have said they envision the apartments attracting a mix of retirees, young professionals, some students and other people who are looking for a golforiented lifestyle.

I’m hoping to hear back from a representative of the development company. I’ll let you know when I hear additional details.

BAGHDAD The fear of causing numerous civilian casualties and getting drawn into a bloody urban fight in Ramadi is pushing Iraqi forces to wage a slow offensive to retake the city from the Islamic State despite an overwhelming advantage in number of fighters.

To limit civilian deaths, the military aims to methodically squeeze militants from the outskirts instead of launching a massive assault into the heart of the Sunni city, which had a population of 400,000 before most residents fled.

“The urban terrain battles are among the most difficult,” said Brig. Gen. Yahea Resool, a spokesman for Iraq’s Defense Ministry. “We are not in a hurry.

“The forces who enter cities have to be highly trained,” Resool said.

The U.S.-led coalition supporting the Iraqis with airstrikes estimates 250 to 300 militants remain holed up in Ramadi. They face 10,000 troops that include

army and counterterrorism units, Shiite militias and national police.

A small number of committed militants can wreak havoc on a much larger force. They can position snipers, rig booby traps in buildings, plant roadside bombs on streets and use car bombs, Resool said.

The militants will attempt to use civilians who remain as human shields, he said. “We have to protect civilians,” he said.

Ramadi, less than 100 miles west of Baghdad, fell to the Islamic State in May. Last week, the Iraqi government announced the start of its long-promised offensive to take it back.

The propaganda-savvy militants, who frequently distribute video of their brutality, may want to draw Iraqi forces into a bloody street fight.

Widespread images of violent fighting and allegations of civilian

deaths from a U.S. offensive in April 2004 in Fallujah led Iraqi politicians to demand that American forces halt the operation.

Months later, U.S. troops were ordered back into the city, where they waged a fierce battle to expel al-Qaeda militants.

Ramadi is the first major urban battle Iraq’s forces have faced since the Islamic State seized portions of the country last year.

Iraq’s security forces took back the city of Tikrit in April, but it is much smaller than Ramadi, and few civilians remained at the time.

U.S. advisers are deeply involved in planning the campaign and preparing Iraqi troops. Several hundred U.S. Marines and other coalition advisers were recently sent to Taqaddum, the Iraqi headquarters for the offensive. U.S. forces have trained 9,700 Iraqi troops, including some units deployed for the Ramadi campaign.

The U.S. military learned a lot about urban fighting during its eight-year occupation of Iraq, said Michael Knights, an analyst at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.

“Unless you control the rural belts around the city you can’t control the city center,” Knights said. “It’s not enough to get back into the city center and plant the flag.”

WASHINGTON Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump claims he’s worth $10 billion, but personal financial-disclosure forms released Wednesday make that impossible to prove.

The details of Trump’s vast wealth were spread out over 92 pages in documents released by the Federal Election Commission and show the Republican holding positions with more than 500 companies and organizations, from New York to Dubai.

The snapshot of his finances shows the realestate developer collecting sixfigure checks for speeches, owning at least $100,000 in gold, receiving a IMAGES $110,000 pen- DonaldGETTY Trump sion from the Screen Actors Guild and earning $588,000 for admissions to his carousel in New York. His fortune includes golf courses around the globe, the hotels that bear his name, vineyards in Virginia, jets in Palm Beach, Fla., and licensing deals with companies throughout the world that want to attach his name to their properties. The Trump brand is on products ranging from mattresses to vodka and energy drinks sold in Israel.

Trump’s finances are closely watched because the boisterous billionaire has touted his business acumen as his chief qualification in seeking the presidency, declaring to The Des Moines Register recently that he’s “the most successful person to have ever run for the presidency, by far.”

With a net worth of $10 billion, he would also be the richest.

Unraveling the true value of his balance sheets is difficult, however, because assets, income and liabilities are reported to federal regulators in broad ranges, topping out at $50 million.

In addition, most of Trump’s wealth is in closely held partnerships that he owns or controls — and therefore Trump can place his own value on those assets.

Trump values 23 of his holdings — mostly real estate and aircraft — as worth over $50 million. For 55 assets, Trump says, the value is “not readily ascertainable.”

His liabilities are just as significant and difficult to ascertain. He owes at least $265 million.

Crackle, pop. Squished bugs give airlines gas pains NASA and Boeing working on a solution Bart Jansen USA TODAY

For most of us, bugs are annoying, itchy, yucky summer pests.

For airlines, they are quite literally a drag — a fuel-wasting, money-eating drag.

Scientists from NASA and leading plane manufacturer Boeing are pooling their collective genius to tackle the dilemma of keeping bug guts from sticking to airplane wings. Experimental

flights above the insect-rich swamps of Louisiana are testing the value of non-stick coatings and new wing extensions.

The incentive for pest control is nothing to swat at. The U.S. Department of Transportation says the airline industry spent $48 billion on fuel last year for passenger and cargo planes. Wing improvements that carry planes more smoothly through the air could save the industry as much as $2.4 billion a year — with bugs counting as a slice of that pie.

Fayette Collier, director of NASA’s Environmentally Responsible Aviation program, says giving bugs the brush off could shave

Mia Siochi and Mike Alexander, both of NASA’s Langley Research Center, count bug residue on a wing in Shreveport, La.

PAUL BAGBY, NASA LANGLEY

0.5% off fuel costs, or $240 million in savings.

“It is huge,” Collier said of overall wing improvements. “The carrot is so huge, you can’t ignore it.”

Tiny critters pose huge prob-

lems. No matter how clean a plane is on the ground, taking off through a cloud of bugs roughens the wing’s leading edge. Bumpy wings from that momentary encounter increase drag and require

the plane to burn slightly more fuel during hours of the entire flight.

The goal of wing research is to keep air flowing as smoothly as possible for as long as possible across the wing. NASA and Boeing are each eager to find solutions, which will be shared with the rest of the industry, to save fuel and reduce pollution.

“When you burn less fuel, the engines require less maintenance. We produce less emissions. There’s less carbon dioxide,” said Mike Sinnett, Boeing’s vice president for product development. “Across the board, burning less gas is a good thing.”

VOICES

True Milwaukeeans: ‘PBR us ASAP’ Mark Lisheron Special for USA TODAY

Pabst Blue Ribbon is coming back to my hometown. Sort of.

You might have thought Brett Favre was coming back to Green Bay or something, the way the local press carried on about it.

Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett held a news conference Wednesday to announce the “prodigal son” coming home to open arms.

For the first American brewery to produce a million barrels of beer a year and once brewed 15 million barrels yearly, this homecoming is a bit modest — a microbrewery staffed by maybe a half-dozen workers in a building that wasn’t even part of the original plant. But, what the hey.

It’s PBR. Big Blue. Back in Brew City, the way it’s supposed to be.

Like Favre’s induction into the Green Bay Packer Hall of Fame on Saturday night before 67,000 fans at Lambeau Field, this whole Pabst thing is a little complicated.

Milwaukeeans — Wisconsinites, for that matter — are intensely proud of where they come from. I tell anyone who will listen it is one of the most underrated cities in the country.

It is also one of the most defensive. Like Philadelphia to

RENE ALSTON, USA TODAY

New York, Milwaukee will always be Chicago’s overachieving little brother.

Almost the entire list of famous people born in Milwaukee — Spencer Tracy, Gene Wilder, Steve Miller — went someplace else to become famous.

Milwaukeeans content themselves with celebrities who don’t leave home. Like Bo Black, whose claims to fame are posing in the 1960s for Playboy with her clothes on; dating a manager who had one good year for the Brewers; and running Summerfest, one of theUSA’s biggest music festivals, for roughly 68 years.

Or Danny Gokey, who earned a day in his honor and a parade for finishing third in the eighth season of American Idol.

There was a time Pabst was bigger than even Liberace, if you count his birthplace, the suburb of West Allis, as part of Milwaukee.

There was a time Pabst was bigger than even Liberace, if you count his birthplace, the suburb of West Allis, as part of Milwaukee. For 100 years, Milwaukee was second to none, particularly Chicago, in brewing beer.

In 1950, four of the 10 biggest brewers in America — Schlitz, Pabst, Miller and Blatz — brewed in Milwaukee. In 1980, Pabst’s last great year, almost 40% of the 176.3 million barrels of beer brewed in America came from Schlitz, Miller and Pabst.

Milwaukeeans were fiercely loyal to their brands. Ours was a Schlitz family. Half a dozen relatives worked at Schlitz at one time or another. Milwaukee then was a Blatz town and, after Blatz

was sold, a Pabst town. With the rollout of Lite in the 1970s, Milwaukee became a Miller town.

By 1985, when cranky California millionaire Paul Kalmanovitz acquired Pabst, every Milwaukee brewer but Miller was either in free fall or shuttered. Eleven years later, Kalmanovitz emptied the blackened Cream-City-brick Pabst complex, moved its administration to San Antonio and contracted with Miller to have the beer brewed who knows where.

It seems to me Milwaukeeans are ready to forgive Pabst for running out on them, even if only to brew a tiny fraction of its 2.7 million barrels of beer a year.

If the man who chose to throw his last interceptions for the hated Minnesota Vikings can come back, so can Pabst.

I am, however, gravely concerned about Pabst loyalists elsewhere who have courageously ignored the U.S. brewing revolution, resolutely drinking the corporate contract brew from 16-ounce tall boys.

You have to wonder whether craft-brewed Pabst will upset their every notion of non-conformity in their beer-drinking experience. Maybe this is what they mean by hipster irony.

Americans stuck in Iran overshadow nuclear agreement Team petitions for freedom of ‘Post’ writer accused of spying

Oren Dorell USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Renewed focus on four Americans detained in Iran looms as a potential impediment to congressional approval of an international agreement to limit Iran’s nuclear program.

Wednesday marked the first anniversary of the arrest of Washington Post Tehran bureau chief Jason Rezaian, who is charged with espionage. Rezaian’s plight was detailed at a news conference a day before the Senate holds its first hearing on the deal, which is subject to a 60-day review by Congress. It will lift sanctions costing Iran hundreds of billions of dollars in return for limits on its nuclear program and access for international inspectors to verify Iran does not try to develop a weapon.

Many members of Congress have expressed reservations about the agreement, citing Iranian actions hostile to U.S. interests. The detention of the Americans, whose fates remain uncertain, adds to those concerns.

Rezaian’s lawyers, brother and Post Executive Editor Martin Baron called for his immediate

release. They unveiled a formal petition on his behalf submitted to the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detentions.

“If Iran is serious about its international obligations, then this is the perfect opportunity to show the world how seriously it takes those obligations,” attorney David Bowker said.

Other American detainees are former U.S. Marine Amir Hekmati and Christian pastor Saeed Abedini. All three are Iranian Americans whom Iran treats as its own citizens. Iranian media reported that a fourth detainee, former FBI agent Robert Levinson, was in the custody of Iranian security services shortly after he went missing more than eight years ago.

The U.S. government alleges that the three Americans of Iranian descent are held without cause

by Iran’s hard-line Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which controls Iran’s nuclear sites and expressed misgivings about the negotiations.

President Obama said U.S. diplomats are working to gain the release of the detainees, but negotiations on the nuclear agreement were limited to one priority: ensuring Iran doesn’t obtain a nuclear weapon.

IN BRIEF OFFICIALS: VIDEO OF SANDRA BLAND’S ARREST UNEDITED

The Texas Department of Public Safety said Wednesday that the video it released Tuesday of the confrontation between a Texas state trooper and motorist Sandra Bland was not edited or manipulated.

The video shows that the confrontation began after Bland expressed irritation at being pulled over July 10 for not signaling a lane change and then balked when Trooper Brian Encinia asked her to put out her cigarette.

Department spokesman Tom Vinger said Wednesday that glitches in the recording occurred when it was uploaded for public viewing. The video has drawn criticism for having gaps and overlaps.

The release of the 52-minute footage came hours after the Waller County Sheriff’s Office released surveillance video from inside the county jail the morning Bland, 28, of Naperville, Ill., was found dead in her cell three days after the traffic stop in Prairie View, about 50 miles northwest of Houston.

The Harris County medical ex-

Baron said administration officials never promised Rezaian’s release would be part of the deal, but his case was discussed “alongside the talks.”

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in Tehran on Wednesday that “imprisoned citizens” were discussed for humanitarian reasons during the talks, but he did not elaborate, according to the Associated Press.

Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, said the detainees should be raised “at every point.”

NATION/WORLD MASS SHOOTINGS

ROOF CHARGED WITH FEDERAL HATE CRIMES

Chattanooga killer a ‘homegrown violent extremist,’ FBI says

No decision yet on whether to seek the death penalty

USA TODAY

Kevin Johnson @bykevinj USA TODAY

Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced federal hate crime charges Wednesday against the 21-year-old suspect in the Charleston, S.C., church massacre, alleging that Dylann Roof sought to ignite racial tensions across the country by targeting Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church because of its local and historical significance.

The 33-count indictment charges Roof with nine murders, three attempted murders and multiple firearms offenses as part of a long-planned assault in which Roof allegedly singled out victims “because of their race and in order to interfere with their exercise of their religion.”

Federal charges, which follow a murder indictment lodged by a South Carolina grand jury, carry WASHINGTON

the prospect of a death sentence.

But Lynch said no decision had been made on whether to seek the death penalty. The attorney general also said no decision had been reached on whether local or federal authorities would proceed first with Roof’s prosecution. Traditionally, a federal prosecution would follow the local case.

Lynch suggested that investigators had gathered evidence that Roof’s alleged plan of assault specifically included the iconic church because of its meaning to African Americans.

She declined, though, to detail the extent of the government’s evidence.

“On that summer evening, Dylann Roof found his targets, African Americans engaged in worship,” Lynch said of the June 17 attack on a Bible study session. “The parishioners had Bibles. Dylann Roof had his 45caliber Glock pistol and eight magazines loaded with hollow point bullets. ... Dylann Roof drew his pistol and opened fire.”

Roof’s court-appointed attorney did not respond to a request for comment.

John Bacon The gunman who killed five military personnel at a Chattanooga, Tenn., installation last week was a “homegrown violent extremist” who acted alone during his rampage, an FBI official said Wednesday.

Ed Reinhold, special agent in charge of the investigation, said it was too early to say whether Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez had been radicalized, but he said the possibility was being investigated.

Abdulazeez, 24, attacked two military sites in Chattanooga on Thursday with an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle and a handgun.

Reinhold said Abdulazeez never left his rented convertible during his first attack, a brief shooting spree at military recruiting offices where one officer was wounded. He then drove 7 miles to the Navy Operational Support Center, where his shooting rampage left four Marines and a Navy petty officer dead.

Reinhold said Adulazeez crashed his car through the support center gate, drawing fire from police at the scene. He then

drove up to the building and got out of the car shooting.

“He made his way through the building, pursuing sailors and Marines,” GETTY IMAGES Reinhold said.

Abdulazeez One person was killed in the building, the rest were killed in a motor pool behind it, Reinhold said. Chattanooga police fatally shot Abdulazeez at the scene, ending a brutal firefight that took less than five minutes.

Reinhold said Abdulazeez’s guns were recovered at the scene, along with another in his car. Two guns belonging to servicemembers also were recovered, and one had been fired, Reinhold said.

Reinhold, asked whether friendly fire might have been responsible for one or more of the deaths, said it appeared the five victims were killed with the same weapon, a reference to Abdulazeez’s assault rifle. Reinhold said authorities know where Abdulazeez’s guns were purchased but would not say whether they had been purchased legally.

atalie Baez tidies up the souvenir shop, dusting off wooden statuettes and straightening Tshirts as several Europeans glance inside.

“Have a look around,” says Baez, 21, waving them in. But the tourists don’t bite. Five hours into her shift, Baez has sold just one key chain for $1.10. Her commission: 11 cents, barely enough for a piece of gum. “No one’s buying anything,” she laments.

One of the more than 1.5 million 20-somethings in Cuba, Baez plans to stick around despite her low-paying job to see how this island nation — already on the verge of sweeping change — will evolve now that the United States and Cuba are restoring diplomatic ties after more than five decades of hostility.

Baez is optimistic about her prospects despite her current financial challenges. She dreams of finding success as an actress and buying a home.

“Cuba is not going to be the same in five years, I’m almost sure,” she says. “Who knows, I’ll probably have my own house. I’ll be able to help my mother.”

Even before President Obama announced the renewal of diplomatic relations in December, Cu-

ba was transforming. Now, private businesses — from restaurants to laptop repair shops — are springing up all over the capital of Havana, catering to Cubans who suddenly have money to spend.

“My life and the lives of everyone are going to change as this process moves ahead,” says Cuban journalist Jasan Nieves, 27. “The landscape is still very gray,” but change is “inevitable.”

“No one can imagine the country we will have in three years. Relations with the United States will never be normal,” Nieves says. The U.S. is “the epitome of capitalism and here they are trying to build a political system that is the antithesis.”

Musician Julio Cesar Oñate, 27, hopes for the day when Cuban and American artists travel freely between the two countries, and he meets an American music executive who can promote his work, which blends Jamaican dance hall and hip-hop music. “My dream is to bring my music to the entire world,” he says. “Cuba is a source of unimaginable talent.”

Some Cuban officials are wary of capitalist ventures and the changes they are bringing. Young people shouldn’t be “dazzled by consumerism and beautiful things,” Jose Ramon Machado Ventura, second secretary of Cuba’s Communist Party behind President Raúl Castro, said in a July 11 interview in the state-run newspaper Juventud Rebelde (Rebel Youth). “Socialism is the future. We are not bankrupt.”

A Quran manuscript long held by a British university is now believed to be among the world’s oldest, written close to the time of the prophet Mohammed.

Radiocarbon testing found the parchment with the text dates to a similar time period as Mohammed, who is believed to have lived between 570 and 632, the University of Birmingham said in a statement Wednesday.

The manuscript consists of two parchment leaves and contains parts of the suras, or chapters, 18 to 20 written in an early form of Arabic known as Hijazi. Radiocarbon analysis dated the parchment to between 568 and 645

“The radiocarbon dating … could well take us back to within a few years of the actual founding of Islam.”

David Thomas, a professor of Christianity and Islam at the University of Birmingham, said in a statement

with a 95.4% accuracy. The leaves had been incorrectly bound for years with documents of a Quran from a more recent century.

“The radiocarbon dating of the Birmingham Quran folios has yielded a startling result and reveals one of the most surprising secrets of the university’s collections,” David Thomas, a professor of Christianity and Islam at the University of Birmingham, said in the statement. “They could well take us back to within a few years of the actual founding of Islam.”

According to Muslim tradition, the prophet Mohammed received the revelations that form the Quran between 610 and 632, the year of his death, Thomas said.

However, the revelations weren’t immediately written down. Caliph Abu Bakr, the first leader of the Muslim community after Mohammed, ordered the Quran to be written in book form, which was completed about 650 under the third leader, Caliph Uthman.

The manuscript will be on display at the university Oct. 2-25.

Thanks to a new law, it’s now fine to fly out of Oregon’s Portland International Airport with pot.

But only if you’re flying to one of the four other Beaver State airports served by PDX. Fresh signs in the PDX terminal remind passengers that state and federal laws prohibit taking marijuana across state lines. “But the way the law is written, it is permitted to travel [with pot] within the state, provided you’re 21 or over and in possession of the legal amount,” said Kama Simonds, spokeswoman for Portland International Airport.

The new rule applies to travelers flying in-state from Portland to Redmond, Pendleton, Eugene or North Bend airports and was adopted on July 1, when Oregon joined Alaska, Colorado, Washington and the District of Columbia in legalizing recreational marijuana.

Marijuana is still illegal under federal law. So while Transportation Security Administration officers are looking for devices and materials that impact transportation safety, if they find pot (or other drugs) they’ll still call in local law enforcement.

Existing homes sold at the fastest pace in eight years last month and the median sales price reached a record high, the National Association of Realtors said Wednesday.

Sales increased 3.2% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.49 million in June. Economists had forecast sales at a 5.4 million annual rate, according to the median estimate of those surveyed

by Bloomberg. May sales were revised down slightly to annual pace of 5.32 million.

Lawrence Yun, chief economist of the realtors group, pronounced this year’s spring buying season the strongest since the economic downturn. “Buyers have come back in force, leading to the strongest past two months in sales since early 2007,” he said.

Yun attributed the brisk sales to strong job growth, improved household finances and rising mortgage rates that are prodding Americans to buy now before rates climb further.

The median sales price of a previously owned home was $236,400, 6.5% above the yearago price and above the peak price set in July 2006.

Tight housing supplies pushed up prices. The crunch had been constraining sales but did not seem to pose a big obstacle last month. The inventory of unsold homes dipped to a five-month supply from 5.1 months in May. A six-month supply is generally considered balanced.

The skimpy stockpiles led to rapid sales. Homes were on the market for an average 34 days in June, down from 40 days in May and the shortest turnaround since the association began tracking the figure in 2011.

Higher prices should be prompting more homeowners to put their homes up for sale, fattening inventory. But many are waiting because low credit scores keep them from qualifying for a mortgage on a new house or their homes are still worth less than what they owe on their mortgages, IHS Global Insight said in a note to clients.

The resurgent home sales market could provide a spark to an economy that struggled through the first half of the year. Healthy sales further reduce supplies, leading to more home construction. That generates numerous jobs in building, manufacturing and other industries.

In June, the share of homes purchased by first-time buyers dipped to 30% from 32% in May after climbing recently, but it remains above the year-ago figure of 28%. Stronger job and income growth are spurring many young adults to move out on their own.

Single-family home sales increased 2.8%, and co-op and condominium sales jumped 6.6%.

Sales rose 4.3% in the Northeast, 4.7% in the Midwest, 2.5% in the West and 2.3% in the South.

Strong job growth, rising mortgage rates help spark 3.2% gain in June

Discover must pay $18.5M in fines, refunds Bank misled, agitated student loan debtors, federal agency says Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

Discover Bank and two affiliates will pay $18.5 million in consumer refunds and fines for using illegal practices while servicing private student loans, a federal regulator said Wednesday.

The Illinois-based depository institution overstated the minimum amounts due on billing statements, failed to provide information borrowers needed to obtain federal income tax bene-

fits and used illegal debt-collection practices by calling borrowers early in the morning and late at night, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau said.

“Discover created student debt stress for borrowers by inflating their bills and misleading them about important benefits,” said CFPB Director Richard Cordray.

“Illegal servicing and debt collection practices add insult to injury for borrowers struggling to pay back their loans.”

The bank declined to comment on the consent order and neither admitted nor denied the findings.

Shares of parent firm Discover Financial Services barely budged Wednesday, rising 0.1% to $59.50.

Discover expanded its private student loan portfolio in 2010 by

DISCOVER STUDENT LOANS UNDER FIRE According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Discover and two affiliates: uOverstated the minimum amount due for borrowers who were just starting to repay their student loans. The amount provided incorrectly included interest payment on loans that were in deferment and were not required to be paid. uFailed to give student loan borrowers customary tax information that could have enabled them to seed federal tax deductions for interest payments of more than $600 on the loans.

uPlaced more than 150,000 phone calls to student loan borrowers before 8 a.m. and after 9 p.m. in the borrowers' respective time zones. uNeglected to give borrowers specific information about the amount and source of the debt, as well as the borrowers' right to contest the charges. The consent order requires Discover to return $16 million to more than 100,000 borrowers. Depending on the circumstances of each loan, the payments will be made through account credits, repayments of tax-preparation costs or account credits.

acquiring more than 800,000 accounts from Citibank.

While acting as a loan servicer, the bank is responsible for providing periodic account statements, supplying year-end tax information and contacting borrowers about overdue payments.

The bank must also pay a $2.5 million CFPB penalty, as well as ensure that it accurately presents minimum required loan payments, sends clear and accurate tax information to borrowers and stops phoning borrowers during early and late hours.

Student loans are the nation’s second-largest consumer debt market. More than 40 million federal and private student loan borrowers collectively owe more than $1.2 trillion, the CFPB said.

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

Tuesday, lousy earnings from Dow components IBM and United Technologies sent the bluechip stock index into a 181-point downward spiral.

Wednesday, disappointing earnings from iPhone maker Apple and software giant Microsoft shaved 49 points off the Dow as it fell 68 points, overriding good earnings from Coca-Cola and Boeing.

Well, if the Dow Jones industrial average is to redeem itself Thursday, it will be up to heavymachinery maker Caterpillar, fast-food giant McDonald’s, conglomerate 3M and credit-card processor Visa. All four Dow stocks are set to release their quarterly results, and if the Dow

is to break its two-day skid, a strong showing on the earnings front — with strong future guidance from CEOs thrown in for good measure — is a prerequisite for a market rebound.

The Dow is a price-weighted index, which means stocks with higher prices move the blue-chip gauge the most. That puts pressure on 3M, which trades at $155.41 a share, and McDonald’s, at $97.58. The problem: Analysts expect 3M to5-day earnavg.: $2 a share in +X.XX a 4.5% inthe second quarter, 6-monthjust avg.: -X.XX crease from Largest a year holding: ago.

Ikea is warning consumers who bought about 27 million chests and dressers that they can tip over and crush children if they aren’t anchored to a wall, the retailer and the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced Wednesday.

Two children died after Ikea’s Malm chests fell on them in 2014.

Ikea says it has reports of three other tip-over deaths and 14 injuries since 1989 involving other Ikea chests and dressers.

CPSC Chairman Elliot Kaye called on the entire industry to make more stable furniture — and for Ikea to lead the way considering its “big market share.”

“Today is a positive step, and I commend Ikea for taking that step,” Kaye said. “But they need to do more and to make more stable furniture and they need to help lead industry.”

Your patience dictates which stock to eat up

Q: Should I invest in Chipotle or McDonald’s?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: The ultimate food fight for investors is between giants Chipotle and McDonald’s. The investment decision between the two, though, is very different.

Burrito chain Chipotle is a play on growth. Chipotle put up 14.1% revenue growth in the just-reported second quarter — a welcome sight for investors looking at flattish growth from the Standard & Poor’s 500 during the quarter. And thanks to cost controls, the company’s profit soared 27.1% during the second quarter, while the S&P 500’s profit was expected to contract.

Analysts love Chipotle stock, too, rating it an “outperform” with an 18-month price target of $739.32.

That’s still roughly 1.9% upside from Wednesday’s stock price. The trouble, though, is that Chipotle trades for a lofty 47 times trailing earnings. McDonald’s valuation is half that of Chipotle, at 21 times trailing earnings. But investors get a company that’s contracting.

Analysts rate the stock a “hold” and have a price target of $102.71, S&P Capital IQ says. That’s 5% upside from Wednesday’s price.

Patient investors might go for McDonald’s and hope the turnaround happens. Aggressive investors will shoot for Chipotle and hope the growth continues.

Ikea issues warning on 27M dressers after 2 deaths Consumers aren’t supposed to return the furniture. Instead, they should order or pick up a new free wall anchoring kit for the affected chests and dressers.

Consumers should move unanchored chests and dressers into storage or other areas where they cannot be accessed by children until the chests and dressers are properly anchored to the wall, CPSC says.

Ikea is “deeply saddened” by the deaths and hopes to “prevent further tragedies,” said U.S. commercial manager Patty Lobell.

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

Donna Freydkin @freydkin USA TODAY

NEW YORK The door inside the Greenwich Hotel room opens, and in strides Cara Delevingne post-workout, her wet hair wrapped in a gray towel, wearing a matching robe, her feet bare, her face equally scrubbed.

In person, Delevingne is nothing like her kooky, exuberant Instagram presence, which features myriad shots of her sticking out her tongue (with Wonder Woman Gal Gadot or pal Kendall Jenner) and boasts 15.7 million followers.

She’s sleepy, repeatedly yawning, slapping herself on the face to stay awake. And she’s starving, promptly opening up the Nobu takeout containers assembled in front of her and digging into the creamy spicy shrimp.

“I’m OK, I’m good. This is what I wanted to do forever, so I can’t complain,” she says. “I hate complaining.”

She just flew in from Toronto, where she’s playing Enchantress in the upcoming DC supervillains movie Suicide Squad, and has switched gears to promote Paper Towns, the adaptation of John Green’s coming-of-age novel. It’s the supermodel’s first lead role,

playing magnetic, mysterious high school senior Margo, who goes missing to the obsessive dismay of her neighbor Quentin (Nat Wolff).

“She’s very clever, extremely creative, wise beyond her years, but she’s also still a kid. She’s an amazing role. Why wouldn’t I want to play her?” says Delevingne, 22. “John has so many amazing, loyal fans and I knew some of them would be shocked by the choice of me playing Margo. You don’t want to disappoint.”

Those expecting the catwalk version of Delevingne will be surprised at how de-glammed and restrained she is in the film.

“I don’t think her Instagram persona is inauthentic. She can be spontaneous and she can be wild. In real life, she’s a tremendously intelligent, introspective, thoughtful person,” Green says.

“The whole movie is about how we do a terrible job imagining what it’s like to be other people.

No one understands that better than Cara.”

At this moment, she’s just struggling to stay alert. Delevingne rubs her eyes. “I’m always hungry, I’m always tired,” she says, before launching into a funny story of the time she lost her phone and embarked on an epic journey through nighttime Lon-

don to find it. It cuts to the heart of Delevingne, who is perseverance personified.

“I don’t like quitting. Even if it’s impossible and I’m never going to achieve what I want to achieve, I will still carry on. I can’t stop,” she says.

These days, Delevingne, who is open about being bisexual, is dating musician St. Vincent (Annie Clark) and says her relationship is her respite from the craziness of fame. “After you fall in love, you realize that kind of stuff is meaningless. It’s fun and you can get your kicks. It doesn’t help when you feel alone and want someone,” she says.

“In this job, you need support,” she says. “Finding someone that I can just be like, ‘I need you,’ that’s the nicest thing.”

Delevingne is Margo and Nat Wolff is Quentin in the film based on John Green’s novel.

MAEVE MCDERMOTT AND VERONICA BRAVO, USA TODAY

After two decades, Tyrese Gibson has his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart. But for the R&B singer and Fast and Furious franchise star, the victory is bittersweet.

His sixth album, Black Rose, sold 83,000 copies its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It’s a better launch than his last effort, 2011’s Open Invitation (76,000), but still not as big as it could have been, says Gibson (stage name: Tyrese).

“I feel like (Black Rose) was under-shipped, because most of the retailers didn’t want to buy a bunch of albums and not have them sell,” says Gibson, 36. “People on (social media) were saying, ‘Bro, I drove to four stores and they don’t even have a copy of your album.’ And I said, ‘This is exactly why I’m glad this album is winning, because hopefully, it’s going to respark this genre.’ ” It’s not that R&B lacks popular appeal. Artists such as Mary J.

JONATHAN LEIBSON, GETTY IMAGES, FOR SAMSUNG

Tyrese Gibson says it isn’t fair that his music doesn’t get the same airplay as similar songs by artists such as Robin Thicke.

Blige, Chris Brown, Miguel and August Alsina recently have landed in the Top 10 with albums, and British newcomer Sam Smith picked up two Grammy Awards in February for soulful hit Stay With Me. Gibson has had hits on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, cracking the top 20 with Sweet Lady in 1999 and How You Gonna Act Like That in 2003.

But Gibson is critical of mainstream radio, which has not embraced his single Shame with

Jennifer Hudson as others have (it’s at No. 2 on USA TODAY’s Urban Adult Contemporary airplay chart).

“I’m not a racist, I’m not using the race card and I’m not trying to create any type of negative energy toward (radio hosts) Ryan Seacrest or Elvis Duran,” Gibson says. “I’m simply asking the question: If Justin Timberlake, Robin Thicke and Sam Smith are singing R&B/soul music, how is it possible that they’re being played

by Top 40, rhythmic and urban AC stations? Yet when we sing R&B/soul, it’s only being played on black radio? It’s not fair, it’s not right and I’m not having it.

“I don’t have a problem with any of these artists, or the fact that they’re white and singing R&B/soul,” Gibson adds.

According to a statement from assistant program director Beata Murphy of L.A.’s KIIS FM, which airs Seacrest’s show: “Pop radio pulls from all genres. ... You can hear hip-hop and R&B artists like Wiz Khalifa, Omarion, The Weeknd, Fetty Wap and Silento, in addition to Nicki Minaj, John Legend and many more, on KIIS currently. We will continue to consider all artists for airplay.”

Black Rose is Gibson’s final solo album, he says, although he is open to collaborations (including TGT, his group with Ginuwine and Tank). But his priority is being Dad to daughter Shayla, 8.

After battling over custody with ex-wife Norma Mitchell while recording the album, Gibson says, “I didn’t come this far and work this hard just for me to be a black man that’s only selling records to black people. This music and this album is for everybody.”

QUARTERBACK TODD REESING IS EMBRACED BY KANSAS UNIVERSITY FANS after the Jayhawks’ 49-3 victory over Northern Colorado on Sept. 5, 2009, at Memorial Stadium.

One of KU coach David Beaty’s goals is for KU to fill the stadium again on game days.

Beaty believes in Memorial Stadium

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

At Big 12 media days earlier this week in Dallas, one of the more popular inquiries thrown at first-year Kansas University coach David Beaty had to do with how much it helped him to have been at Kansas as an assistant in the past when the Jayhawks were rolling.

Never one to push his true thoughts below the surface, Beaty spoke openly about what he remembered of the Todd Reesing era, when KU shattered attendance records and lit up the scoreboard on a weekly basis.

“When you fill Memorial Stadium, it is a real place,” Beaty said of KU’s 94-yearold football venue. “There’s not many like it in the coun-

try. That’s how I know it.

That’s how I remember it.”

And now Beaty is at least partly responsible for making it that way again.

Doing so figures to be as difficult a challenge as any task facing the first-year head coach during his first season at Kansas. But Beaty has been working on building momentum since the day he took over and he’s hoping

his approach will pay off this fall.

“The only way you do that, in my opinion, is you humble yourself and you go out there and you extend your hand to them and you tell them how important they are to the success of this program,” he said of the KU fan base. “We want them to be proud of their seat. We want that ticket to be something they’re

extremely proud of. And I know it can be that way because I’ve lived it and seen it. We created that when we were there before it.”

Make it interesting: Pick Kansas’ leaders Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Instead of accepting that Kansas University will have a decline in average attendance for a seventh consecutive season, it is within your power to make sure that doesn’t happen and start a streak that heads in the other direction.

Here’s how: Call five of your friends

who also have an interest in KU football. Tell them that each of one of you needs to predict KU’s statistical leader in six different categories. Throw in $100 apiece and the winner takes all at season’s end.

That way, friends can go to games and root for themselves, against each other, in

the event that things aren’t going so well for the home team. NFL fans do so with Fantasy Football. This is a variation on that theme.

Having money riding on six different players will give fans favorite players before the first play of the season in a year in which not many players head into

the season with strong name recognition.

The categories: Passing yardage, receiving yardage, rushing yardage, sacks, tackles, interceptions. Six very tough calls.

In each category, the team leader from a year ago­­— Please see KEEGAN, page 9C

KU players earn World Games honors J-W Staff Reports

The Kansas University men’s basketball team’s 8-0 run while representing Team USA in South Korea earlier this month earned Frank Mason III, Wayne Selden Jr. and Perry Ellis spots on the All-World University Games teams from Eurobasket.com.

Junior point guard Mason’s 18-point performance in the gold-medal, double-overtime

victory against Germany secured his Finals MVP award.

Junior guard Selden, meanwhile, took the honor of the World University Games’ best player after averaging 19.3 points for the U.S. Both KU guards secured first-team spots, while senior forward Ellis landed on the second team. Eurobasket.com also named Selden (listed at small forward) the best forward of the Games, and Mason the best guard.

German guard Maodo Lo, Lithania forward Rokas Giedraitis and Australian post Mangok Mathiang joined Selden and Mason on the first team.

Mason’s late-game heroics versus the Germans helped KU return home with gold medals. The point guard hit two free throws in the final 30 seconds of the fourth quarter against Germany, as well as a layup in the final seconds of the

first overtime that kept the U.S. alive. In the second OT, Mason found Selden for a three-pointer that pushed Team USA ahead for good in an 84-77 marathon.

Selden scored 154 points at the World University Games, tying him for thirdmost in U.S. history at the event, with Maryland’s Juan Dixon (2001). He led KU in scoring in four of the eight games, including his 22-point showing in the fi-

nal, and hit 18 three-pointers. Selden also tied Ellis for the team lead in rebounds a game, at 6.5.

Ellis finished 10th in scor- Mason ing at the Games, averaging 13.3 points, and posted a double-double (19 points and 10 rebounds) against Germany.

The Jayhawks helped the USA win gold at the World University games for the first time since 2005 and the 14th time overall.

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Edinson Volquez wanted to go nine innings, but had to settle for a victory against his old team and a standing ovation.

He did pitch effectively into the eighth and Mike Moustakas hit a three-run homer to lead the Kansas City Royals over the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-1 on Wednesday night.

Volquez (9-5), who won 13 games last season for the Pirates, picked up his first victory since June 26. He allowed one run on eight hits, while walking one and striking out eight.

“I wanted a complete game,” Volquez said. “I get two easy outs in the eighth and then give up singles to (Andrew) McCutchen and (Starling) Marte.

I was hoping to stay in the game, but the skipper came out and I said, ‘oh man.’ Ned (Yost) said see all those people in the stands, they’re going to give you a standing ovation.’ I said, all right, I’ll take that.”

Moustakas homered with two out in the eighth with Alex Rios and Jarrod Dyson aboard.

Moustakas drove the 3-0 offering from right-hander Charlie Morton into the Royals’ bullpen.

“His eyes lit up when he saw the go ahead and swing sign,” Yost said.

Morton said the pitch was right where he “wanted it.”

“He was obviously looking in,” Morton said. “It was right up on his hands. “He was cheating in, I guess.”

KANSAS CITY’S ERIC HOSMER CELEBRATES IN THE DUGOUT after hitting a solo home run during the Royals’ 5-1 win over the Pirates Wednesday in Kansas City, Missouri.

Dyson’s bunt single scored Omar Infante with the first run of the inning.

Morton (6-4) allowed five runs on seven hits, two of them home runs, walked one, hit two batters and struck out four. He is 1-3 in his past five starts, inflating his ERA from 1.62 to 4.59.

Eric Hosmer hit his ninth home run, matching his 2014 total, in the fourth for the other Kansas City run. Hosmer went 101 at-bats since his previous homer on June 19.

Division leaders could lose playoff guarantee Newark, N.J. (ap) — A division title might soon mean a banner but no assurance of a playoff spot in the NBA. Commissioner Adam Silver said Wednesday the league is leaning toward not guaranteeing a postseason berth to a team that wins its division, forcing clubs to finish in the top eight of their conference if they want a shot at the title.

Silver had already said he expected a change from the current format that guarantees division winners no worse than the No. 4 seed. But after discussions with both the competition committee and board of governors, he believes the change will go further than that.

“First of all, it’s never happened before that a division winner did not finish within the top eight, and our basketball analytics folks calculate that there’s less than a 5 percent chance that it would happen,” he said before taking part in a panel discussion at the “Beyond Sport United” program.

“Where we are leaning right now is that we would not guarantee a spot for a division winner in part because it’s so unlikely to happen, and No. 2 if it does happen it would be potentially confusing to fans. No. 3, you would be displacing a team that did have a top-eight record.”

Portland got the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference last season by winning the Northwest Division, but the Trail Blazers would have been seeded sixth by win-loss record. That sparked new calls to throw out the protection for division winners, and Silver said after the owners’ annual summer meeting in Las Vegas that change was coming.

“So while we’re going to continue to discuss it a little bit more — we need to make a decision before the preseason begins — I think the greater likelihood is we will not be guaranteeing a spot to a division winner,” he said Wednesday.

the third scored Jaff Decker for the only Pittsburgh run.

The Pirates went 0 for 6 with runners in scoring position off Volquez. Opponents are hitting just .186 off Volquez with runners in scoring position.

“We pushed him four different innings with two runners on,” Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. “He’s shown up well this year on batting average against with runners in scoring position. We saw more of that tonight. One inning we lined out twice. We just had poor aim.”

The Pirates have lost five of six since the AllStar break. The Royals have won six of eight and top the American League with 57 victories.

GERMANY’S SIMON GESCHKE CELEBRATES AS HE CROSSES THE FINISH LINE Wednesday to win the 17th stage of the Tour de France with start in Digne-les-Bains and finish in Pra Loup, France.

Geschke wins 17th stage; Froome retains lead Pra Loup, France — The speedometer clocked between 50 and 60 kilometers per hour (30-37 mph) as the pine trees whipped by, and the riders leaned left to right and back again to negotiate the snaking, bumpy descent.

Winning the Tour de France isn’t only about having the ability to get uphill fast. You’ve got to have nerves of steel going downhill too.

Chris Froome proved Wednesday that he’s got both.

The 30-year-old Briton retained the leader’s yellow jersey as the Tour sped toward its crescendo in the Alps.

The 17th stage included a harrowing 16-kilometer (10-mile) descent that dealt perhaps the final blow to Alberto Contador’s distant hope of a third Tour victory.

Germany’s Simon Geschke won the stage by surging out of a breakaway bunch and keeping at bay Andrew Talansky of the U.S., who was second, by 32 seconds.

“It was really challenging,” said Geschke, whose stage victory was the fifth by a German on this Tour, and ideal for an event that is back on public TV in Germany after a hiatus of several years because of doping scandals that tarnished the sport’s image.

“The best day of my life as a rider,” he said of his win.

MLB

Vargas likely out for season Kansas City, Mo. — The Royals have placed left-hander Jason Vargas on the disabled list with a torn ligament in his elbow, an injury that typically requires season-ending Tommy John surgery.

Vargas left his start against Pittsburgh on

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

Tuesday night after throwing just 26 pitches.

He had an MRI on Wednesday that revealed the extent of the injury.

The Royals filled his spot in the rotation by recalling Yordano Ventura. The hard-throwing right-hander had been sent to Triple-A Omaha just a day earlier to work on his inconsistency and rebuild some confidence after a string of poor starts.

Vargas, who is 5-2 with a 3.98 ERA, was instrumental in the Royals’ run to the World Series a year ago. He went 1-0 with a 3.52 ERA in three postseason starts.

GOLD CUP SOCCER

Jamaica upsets U.S., 2-1 Atlanta — Jamaica stunned the United States with a pair of first-half goals, one off a blunder by goalkeeper Brad Guzan, and held on for a 2-1 victory in the Gold Cup semifinals Wednesday night.

Darren Mattocks put the Reggae Boyz ahead with 31st-minute header off a throw-in.

Giles Barnes followed five minutes later with a goal on an 18-yard free kick after Guzan was caught going outside the penalty area on a routine throw.

Michael Bradley scored in the 48th minute for the Americans, but it wasn’t enough to prevent a stunning setback in front of sold-out crowd at the Georgia Dome. The small contingent of green-and-gold-clad Jamaican fans saluted their underdog team, ranked 76th in the world but now advancing to the Gold Cup final for the first time to face Mexico or Panama.

The Americans, who had played in five straight Gold Cup finals, will face the loser of Wednesday’s second semifinal.

Perry Ellis honored for service J-W Staff Reports

Kansas men’s basketball senior Perry Ellis received the Honorary Hero Award at the Real Men, Real Heroes Annual Recognition Event, Tuesday in Wichita.

While earning valedictorian honors and guiding Wichita Heights to four straight state titles, Ellis also volunteered as a mentor to local youth for the Teen Hero program for Real Men, Real Heroes. He continues to work with the Teen Hero program.

“As a kid, my coach, Steve Young, would tell me to try to become a better person and better player every day. That’s something I ran with,” Ellis told the crowd. “I got the chance to be a Teen Hero in high school. I got the chance to talk to kids and show them what it takes, what choices they need to make and really how important academics are.

Basketball showcase on tap this weekend

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

son, Rader said some of the top preps teams and players both locally and nationally opted not to compete, but he indicated that there will still be plenty of talent on the hardwood.

“We have many, many Division I-offered kids from the East and the South and the Central Midwest,” Rader said.

“As a KU fan, and that’s what everyone in town obviously probably is, there might not be the number of KU-offered at this minute, but you never know.”

While there will not be any players at the tournament who have received offers from the Jayhawks, there are three players as of now that are on KU’s radar.

Alex Reese, a 6-foot 9-inch 225-pound power forward from Pelham High School (Alabama), will play down low for SE Elite Alabama (17-andunder).

According to Rivals, who rank Reese as the No. 49 overall player in the Class of 2017, the versatile post player has received offers from Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Murray State, Alabama-Birmingham and Vanderbilt. Reese’s play this summer has caught the eyes of coaches nationwide.

“Kansas, Vanderbilt, Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Kansas State, Georgia, UAB, Florida, Nevada, Mississippi State and Texas reached out on the 15th,” Reese told Garrett Tucker’s HoopSeen.com on June 30. “I hear from UAB the most.”

Rodney Miller, a 6-foot 11-inch 245-pound center out of Oak Hill Academy (Virginia), will be the primary presence in the post for the New York Lightning (17-and-

under). Miller is ranked No. 93 by Rivals out of the Class of 2016, and has received offers from Florida, Georgia Tech, Miami, Tulsa, Virginia and Wake Forest. The big man has also heard from KU, Duke, Indiana, Memphis, Notre Dame, Rhode Island, St. John’s, Stanford, Tennessee and UCLA. Wyatt Wilkes, a 6-foot 8-inch 205-pound small forward from Winter Park High School (Florida), will suit up for SE Elite Florida (16-and-under). Wilkes is unranked in the Class of 2017 by Rivals, but has offers from Clemson, Rice, UAB, Central Florida and Virginia Tech. He has also garnered interest from KU, Alabama, Davidson, Florida, Florida State, Miami, Purdue, Stanford, TCU, Tennessee, Stanford and Virginia.

The Sunflower Showcase was previously hosted in Shawnee’s Okun Fieldhouse, but Rader believes that Sports Pavilion Lawrence will be an ideal location for years to come.

“After one high-level event in the new pavilion, word will spread fast about this facility,” Rader said. “In fact, we’ve had a great number of Nike and other national level teams who can’t play this year due to prior commitments, but already marking their 2016 calendar for Lawrence.”

The showcase will begin with pool play at 2 p.m. today for the 14-, 15- and 16-and-under divisions. Action for the 17-and-under division will start at 3:15 p.m. Admission for each day of the showcase is $10.

Cardinals 3, White Sox 2 Chicago — Yadier Molina hit a bases-loaded triple off David Robertson with two out in the eighth inning, sending St. Louis to a victory over Chicago.

Randal Grichuk singled, Matt Holliday was hit by a pitch and Jason Heyward reached on catcher’s interference before Molina drove a 2-2 pitch into the corner in right for his third hit of the game.

COMMENTARY

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

either because of running out of eligibility, getting dismissed or suffering a season-ending injury ­— will not have a chance to defend his title.

The following tout sheet, with far less to go on than the ones I used to read at the dog track in Florida during spring training, might help, which is another way of saying it might not. So many candidates with so little experience.

Candidates listed in alphabetical order within that category:

Passing yardage Montell Cozart, Jr.: If he wins the starting job, it won’t be because he is the best passer. It will be because he has the most experience and has the physical tools to develop into a running threat. So far, those skills haven’t translated to production. In college, sacks count against the quarterback’s rushing totals, but even so, Cozart was credited with just 63 yards on 52 “attempts.”

The hope is that having Cozart work with fewer options in a much simpler offense will keep him from over-thinking and let his athletic ability take over. Give him a primary target, and if he’s not open, tuck it and run.

It’s a gamble on many fronts. Michael Cummings was so much better than Cozart last season because he processes information much quicker and because he has a far more accurate arm. Simplifying things might camouflage the information-processing issue, but does Cozart have it in him to tuck it and run for gains without fearing inevitable contact? If so, he can make things happen with his graceful speed. If he wins the job and can’t take the hits, a shift to one of the freshmen will happen quickly.

Carter Stanley, Fr.: Two autumns ago, he was a junior in high

school, backing up a senior. It’s a swift progression to go from that to starting for a Big 12 team that appears shaky with pass protection and incredibly shallow at wide receiver. That doesn’t mean Stanley can’t do it. It just means it would be a remarkable accomplishment if he does.

He’s mobile, accurate with all types of throws and has a quiet confidence in his ability.

Plus, it doesn’t hurt that Stanley ran the exact same offense with much of the same terminology for Vero Beach High in Florida as offensive coordinator Rob Likens will run.

Stanley threw for 40 touchdowns, rushed for eight and threw just seven interceptions.

His video impresses football coaches who have been around long enough to look for reasons to pick apart a prospect. Good sign.

T.J. Millweard, Jr.: His greatest value will come in helping Cozart and the freshmen understand the offense.

He’s a quick study, but lacks the arm strength to win the job.

Ryan Willis, Fr.: His competitive nature has been on display during summer conditioning, where he takes pride in his performance in sprints, etc., and he has shown off an extremely strong arm.

At 6-4, 205, Willis is the biggest of the quarterbacks. He doesn’t have Cozart’s speed and probably isn’t as elusive in the pocket as Stanley, but he’s no statue.

Willis led Bishop Miege to a 13-0 record and a 4A state title, throwing for 3,003 yards and 35 touchdowns.

The son of former Kansas State kicker Steve Willis, Ryan has been comfortable on a football field his whole life. He turned down a scholarship offer from K-State to pursue his own path.

He’s not the type to defer to anybody simply because of his age or experience level. He’s

bold enough to chase the job with everything he has.

Goodman: Knows what he’s doing and plays with a great deal of passion.

Schyler Miles: Has the instincts to be in the right place and the strength to finish hits, but will his knees enable him to play enough to lead team in tackles?

Mosby: Has the quickness to be around the ball a lot and the strength to slam ballcarriers to the ground.

Marcquis Roberts: If transfer from South Carolina can get healthy and gain immediate eligibility, he’ll help at linebacker, a thin position.

Tevin Shaw: Nickel back was eighth last season with 36 tackles. Has improved his body and his game every season at Kansas. Good player.

Fish Smithson, Jr.: As a reserve safety a year ago he ranked fifth on the roster in tackles. Has nose for the ball and strong understanding of how to play the game.

Interceptions Bates: Led Trinity Valley Community College with four interceptions.

Has a knack for making the big play.

Tyrone Miller, Fr.: Recruit from Ann Arbor, Michigan had just one interception his senior year of high school, but has impressed coaches during summer with coverage skills.

Brandon Stewart, Jr.: Cornerback moved well during the spring and made it a goal to put on weight during the summer in order to stand up to the rigors of Big 12 football. Led Trinity Valley Community College with 19 pass breakups and had three picks.

Staff predictions Tom Keegan: Carter Stanley, Ke’aun Kinner, Quincy Perdue, Damani Mosby, Bazie Bates, Brandon Stewart.

Benton Smith: Ryan Willis, Taylor Martin, Chase Harrell, Ben Goodman, Fish Smithson, Matthew Boateng.
