Court rules for Kansas gay couples Governor

Topeka — A district court judge in Topeka ruled Friday that the Kansas Department of Revenue’s former policy of not allowing same-sex married couples to file joint tax returns is not only unconstitutional now, but was unconstitu- Brown tional from the day it began, according to one of the attorneys involved in the case.

Judge: Joint tax return policy was unconstitutional from day it began David Brown, a Lawrence attorney who sued the department in 2013 on behalf of two married gay couples, including one from Lawrence, said Judge Frank Theis issued a ruling from the bench Friday, saying the department’s policy of not allowing legally married gay couples to file joint tax returns was unconstitutional from the outset, not just since the U.S. Supreme

Court declared gay marriages legal last month.

“I am thrilled for my clients,” Brown said. “We had argued all along that the state’s efforts to discriminate against same-sex couples was unconstitutional. This is a total vindication of my clients’ position.”

Brownback calls for better National Guard security; pay chart uses inconsistent math

Topeka — Gov. Sam Brownback on Friday said he’s concerned about the security of Kansas National Guard facilities in the wake of a mass shooting last week at a Naval Reserve base in Chattanooga, Tenn.

But he was not willing to discuss a review of the state’s permissive gun policy in the wake of other reAs you know, cent mass shootings in which civilians Kansas is a were killed, including one the day before pro-Second at a movie theater in Amendment Lafayette, La., and the state.”

Brownback initially called for a security review of National Guard facilities last week following the shooting in Chattanooga in which four Marines were killed before the shooter took his own life. One Navy sailor who also was shot died later at a hospital.

HEAT WARNING

Giant waterslide now could land in West Lawrence

L

awrence’s funkiness is spreading. West Lawrence probably won’t be honking for hemp or hosting zombie walks anytime soon, but a plan has been filed for a busy West Lawrence street to temporarily house a 1,000-footlong water slide.

I reported last month that a Lawrence-based company was looking for a spot to set up a massive water slide called The Urban Slide. Well, the company hopes it has found its spot: George Williams Way near Sixth Street.

Normally, this is the type of wild and crazy idea that would find its way into downtown Lawrence. But

Keep cold water close this weekend As Friday's heat index in Lawrence held steady in the triple digits, the National Weather Service in Topeka said the hot weather likely would continue through the weekend.

By 2:30 p.m. Friday, the mercury already had reached 95 degrees in town, and the heat index was 111 degrees, NWS Meteorologist Jennifer Bowen said.

"That's why we have a heat warning through 9 p.m.," Bowen explained. "It will probably stay over 100 degrees through the evening — we're not cooling off and the winds aren't very strong at all."

Today and Sunday, temperatures will look fairly similar, although the heat index will be slightly lower, Bowen said. Temperatures in the mid 90s can be expected both days, with the heat index reaching around 105 degrees this afternoon, she said.

Kansas sues Army over food contract Topeka (ap) — Kansas is suing the U.S. Army, alleging that the military is trying to prevent the state from continuing to provide cafeteria service at Fort Riley, a contract worth about $1.1 million a year that it’s received since 2006.

The Kansas Department for Children and Families filed the lawsuit this week, claiming that the Army is seeking to add the fort’s cafeteria service to a procurement list, which would remove it from public bidding and leave the state unable to provide the service, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported.

If the cafeteria service is added to a procurement list, Fort Riley would be required to buy the services from a supplier designated by the U.S. AbilityOne Commission, which provides employment to blind and disabled people.

Kansas and the Army are in arbitration process to resolve the dispute. But DCF said it is seeking an injunction to stop the Army from purchasing cafeteria services elsewhere until the dispute is resolved.

The state’s current cafeteria contract already uses a licensed blind vendor, according to the lawsuit. DCF spokeswoman Theresa Freed said Kansas does not make a profit from the contract. She said the lawsuit was filed to give the state the right to first refusal for licensed blind entrepreneurs to operate

the company that works with The Color Run and other such events — went looking for a different location. Ryan Robinson, an owner of the company, told me last month he was looking for locations near the Kansas University campus, but that apparently didn’t pan out.

The event is set for Aug. 8 and 9, and the slide would be set up on the portion of George Williams Way that is south of Sixth Street and north of Harvard Road. I guess they are not going to have the slide go through the roundabout at George Williams and Harvard.

That seems like a lost opportunity for the city to do roundabout education ... you do not have to

food and vending service in federal facilities in Kansas.

Department of Defense spokesman Nate Christensen told the newspaper the agency does not comment on pending litigation.

A federal law, the Randolph-Sheppard Vending Facility Act, requires that blind vendors be given priority for contracts for cafeteria operations on federal property. DCF contends the Army is justifying moving the cafeteria contract to a procurement list under a different federal law, the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act, which requires federal agencies to purchase services from nonprofits that employ blind individuals and those with disabilities.

In the lawsuit, DCF argues the RandolphSheppard law should be the controlling law for food service contracts.

“The only options the Army has with respect to awarding a follow-on contract to the one Kansas currently performs for DFA services is to either enter into direct negotiations with Kansas or require Kansas to once again compete under the RandolphSheppard priority,” the lawsuit reads.

The current contract expires at the end of August.

DCF’s food-related contract for Fort Leavenworth, valued at about $222,000, is not part of the new lawsuit.

In case you are confused, George Williams Way will be closed to traffic during the event.

In fact, it will be closed for long periods of time to accommodate the slide. Plans call for the street to close at midnight on Aug. 8 and reopen at 11:59 p.m. Aug. 9. Organizers have arranged to use the parking lot at nearby Langston Hughes Elementary School for the event.

GOV. SAM BROWNBACK responds to reporters’ questions during a news conference Friday in Topeka. Brownback discussed a wide range of issues, including abortion and his call to review security at National Guard facilities in the wake of a mass shooting in Chattanooga, Tenn.

Governor CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The shooting was carried out by Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez, a naturalized citizen from Kuwait, but investigators have not yet determined a motive.

That incident has drawn attention to the fact that military personnel are not allowed to carry weapons in certain facilities, such as recruiting stations, where civilians often are present.

Last month, in the wake of the Charleston, S.C., shooting, President Barack Obama renewed his call for stricter gun control laws throughout the nation. And on Thursday, in the aftermath of the Louisiana shooting, the president said he was frustrated at his own inability to convince Congress to enact stricter laws.

Brownback on Friday called those “horrific events that happened as well,” but he said military personnel have become a specific target in a number of recent incidents, including an alleged attempt of a suicide bombing at Fort Riley.

But he described other recent mass murders involving civilian targets as “in another category and sphere,” suggesting the state has less authority to control the sale and use of guns in the general population than it does at National Guard facilities.

Earlier this year, the Kansas Legislature passed, and Brownback signed, one of the most expansive gun rights bills in the country, effectively allowing almost any adult to carry a concealed weapon without a permit.

Abortion clinic inspections In another example of offering a state response to national news headlines, Brownback has also called on the Kansas Board of Healing Arts to investigate whether any abortion clinics in Kansas are engaged in what he called a “barbaric” practice of selling fetal tissue and organs left

street. I don’t see George Williams Way becoming the next Massachusetts Street and hosting events on a regular basis.

This seems like a fairly unique situation. But West Lawrence likely will become more of an event venue with Rock Chalk Park. I’m still curious to see what types of events other than youth basketball and volleyball tournaments end up becoming the norm at Rock Chalk. I heard several people liked how the Sertoma BBQ cook-off functioned at the sports complex earlier this year.

Whether the complex will become the site for more festival-like events in the future will be interesting to watch.

over from abortions.

That was a response to the recent release of “sting” videos secretly recorded by a national antiabortion group which depict officials from Planned Parenthood discussing prices for certain kinds of tissue.

“Recent videos show Planned Parenthood employees treating the unborn child as commodities as they discuss the sale of tissue and organs,” he said. “This certainly does not reflect the culture of life that most Kansans want.”

A state law enacted in 2000 prohibits abortion clinics from profiting from the sale of fetal tissue or organs. Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri, which operates clinics in Wichita and Overland Park, has insisted it does not engage in such practices.

Coming budget cuts Brownback said his administration will announce next week how it plans to find $50 million in savings in the current year’s budget. And while he wouldn’t say where those savings would come from, he gave assurances that it would not come from K-12 education spending.

“K-12 will not be in that group, the $50 million,” he said.

The requirement for the administration to find $50 million in savings was part of the tax and spending package that lawmakers negotiated at the end of the 2015 session.

Quietly, some officials had hoped it might not be necessary if state revenues come in above projections. But last week, the nonpartisan Legislative Research Department released an updated analysis of state general fund spending this year and projected that even with the $50 million in unspecified cuts, the state would end the year next June with only $67.2 million in the bank. Without those cuts, that ending balance would drop to just $17.2 million.

Earlier in the day, Brownback announced Shawn Sullivan, his budget director, would take

Court CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

As yet, however, Brown said the decision applies only to the couples in the lawsuit and not to all married gay couples in similar situations.

“He said he was not going to turn it into a class action suit,” Brown said. “I filed the case on behalf of my clients, so the decision deals with only my clients.”

In 2013, the Department of Revenue issued a policy that said gay couples in Kansas who were legally married in other states still could not file joint tax returns in Kansas, even though they could file jointly on their federal returns.

The policy came in response to actions in several other states that had either legalized gay

on the additional role of identifying and implementing “efficiencies” on an ongoing basis throughout the year.

Another part of the budget package included $3 million set aside for the Legislature to hire an outside consulting firm to look at the entirety of state spending and recommend ways the state can operate more effieiently at less cost. But even thugh that’s similar to what Sullivan has been tasked to do, Brownback said that would not be part of his plan for trimming $50 million from the budget because it’s money appropriated for another branch of government.

Teacher pay In an effort to respond to recent reports that hundreds of Kansas teachers are leaving the state this year for jobs in other states, Brownback tried to show that the average teacher actually fares better in Kansas than in neighboring Missouri. But the numbers he offered were immediately called into question.

A large graph prepared by his staff was placed on an easel, showing that average teacher salaries in Kansas have risen each year since 2010, and that they are $7,060 higher than average salaries in Missouri.

Brandon Smith, the governor’s policy director, said the numbers included both salaries and fringe benefits. But the Associated Press, after trying to verify the numbers with both states, reported that only the Kansas number included the cost of fringe benefits.

The numbers for average salaries in Missouri did not, thus making that state’s number look artificially low.

The average teacher’s salary-only pay, including summertime pay, is $49,700 in Kansas, AP reported. That’s only slightly higher than the $48,000 a year for the average Missouri teacher.

marriage or had their bans against it declared unconstitutional. It was based on an amendment in the Kansas Constitution, approved by voters in 2005, that defined marriage strictly as a union between one man and one woman, and barring the state of Kansas from recognizing any other kind of marriage.

Brown filed a lawsuit challenging the Department of Revenue’s policy shortly after it was issued on behalf of two married gay couples, Roberta and Julie Woodrick, from Lawrence, and Michael Nelson and Charles Dedmon, from Alma.

But in 2014, as the case was proceeding toward trial, Shawnee County District Judge Frank Theis put it on hold, pending the outcome of other cases in federal courts challenging state bans against same-sex marriage.

In June, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down all such bans, effectively legalizing samesex marriages nationwide. Shortly after that, the Department of Revenue rescinded its policy.

Following that, the department pushed to have the tax lawsuit dismissed, saying the issue was moot because the policy had been rescinded. But it also argued that its action rescinding the policy should have no retroactive effect, Brown said.

Ruling from the bench, Theis said that it should be retroactive, and that the two couples should be allowed to file amended tax returns for prior years, something the department has not yet said it is willing to do.

Officials from the Department of Revenue were not immediately available for comment Friday.

Man in wedged-truck incident charged with 3 misdemeanors

ROY PRICE BULLARD exits a Chevy truck that was wedged between a guardrail and a wall Thursday. Bullard was charged Friday with three misdemeanors in the incident.

The Missouri man accused of drunkenly ramming a Chevy truck up a sidewalk and onto a pedestrian railing in North Lawrence Thursday was charged Friday with three misdemeanors in connection with the incident.

Roy Price Bullard, 63, of Slater, Mo., was charged in Douglas County District Court with driving under the influence, reckless

driving and driving while a habitual violator. Court records indicate Bullard has a prior DUI conviction.

In court Friday, Bullard told District Judge Paula Martin that he “hadn’t been in trouble for 10 years,” though his driver’s license had been revoked. Bul- Bullard lard also claimed that he “was supposed to get his license back next week.”

Martin told Bullard she

would consider those circumstances when deciding on his bond amount.

Prosecutors asked the judge to also take into consideration the “egregious” circumstances of the DUI charge. While he was allegedly driving northbound in the 400 block of North Second Street under the influence of alcohol, Bullard veered off the road and up a sidewalk

concrete barrier wall on the east side of the road, Lawrence police spokeswoman Kim Murphree said.

The truck appeared to have driven about 50 feet along the concrete wall, ultimately stopping along the top of a steel fence connected to the wall and coming to rest on its side on the sidewalk, propped up by the fence.

Resigning KU Alumni Association president will be tough to replace

By Dolph C. Simons Jr.

Earlier this week, Kansas University Alumni Association officials announced Kevin Corbett is stepping down as president of the nationally recognized association. On July 31, he will end an 11-year term as president.

This announcement likely came as a surprise and shock to many who now may be wondering or questioning why he would step down — or was forced to leave the association’s presidency.

The fact is he is leaving with the best wishes and thanks of those who serve as directors of the association. There are no hidden reasons. It is merely a case of Corbett thinking now is an ideal

Although he will be leaving the KU alumni position, he will continue to live in Lawrence. He is in his 40s, and he acknowledges his new job does not shut the door to other possible employment opportunities that might arise in the future.

Woman found guilty in stabbing committed to mental hospital

By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

After more than a year of court proceedings, a 40-year-old Lawrence woman who pleaded guilty to aggravated battery in connection with a 2014 scissor stabbing was committed to the Larned Correctional Mental Health Facility on Friday.

Douglas County District Judge Paula Martin ordered Hammer to spend a total of 38 months in the custody of Larned, or if Larned determines the woman no longer needs treatment, she will be sent to prison.

Trial set for man in child sex case

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

A Douglas County District Court judge on Friday scheduled a jury trial for a 36-year-old Lawrence man charged with aggravated indecent liberties with a child and buying sexual relations for Oct. 26.

The man is accused of patronizing a teenager who was allegedly prostituting herself in Lawrence in 2013. The man is in the Douglas County Jail on a $25,000 bond, according to court records.

The trial is expected to last two weeks. The defendant is scheduled to appear in court for a hearing on Oct. 15.

The high court issued a four-page schedule that sets separate timelines for briefings and arguments over the “equity and adequacy” of school funding in Kansas. The court said that while those issues “do not exist in isolation from each other,” they are in different stages of resolution.

Citing a need for an expedited decision on the equity issue, the court set that issue for a Nov. 6 hearing.

It also scheduled a string of deadlines for attorneys to file written briefings before the hearings.

A district court ruled in January 2013 that the state created unconstitutional wealth-based disparities

among school districts, a finding that the Supreme Court subsequently affirmed.

But the court remanded the case to a three-judge panel in Shawnee County District Court for enforcement. That panel considered actions taken by the state Legislature in 2014 and 2015 and concluded that school funding still failed to provide a suitable education for every child.

Last month the state Supreme Court put on hold the lower court’s order for the state to immediately increase aid to public schools by roughly $50 million, but promised to move quickly to decide whether the state is distributing its money fairly.

That order remains on hold while the Supreme Court considers the state’s appeal.

Administration secretary named; budget director’s duties expand

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Gov. Sam Brownback on Friday named Sarah Shipman as his new secretary of administration, succeeding Jim Clark, who retired earlier this month.

At the same time, he also expanded Budget Director Shawn Sullivan’s role to include “identifying and implementing efficiencies across state government.”

Effective immediately, Sullivan’s title will be director of Budget and Business Processes, the governor’s office said.

the truck’s cab Thursday.

It took the city and towing companies about two hours to get the vehicle off the fence. Rush-hour traffic was rerouted or halted for much of that time.

Though no injuries were reported in the wreck, prosecutors said the act endangered public safety.

They also said that Bullard

Sewage CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

And earlier this month, a surge of heavy rainfall prompted the city to take advantage of a special permit from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment to release partially treated sewage into the river.

KDHE spokeswoman

Administration is a powerful agency that often goes unnoticed. Besides managing the state’s budget and spending on a day-to-day basis, it’s also in charge of personnel management, purchasing, property management and the state’s IT system.

Shipman has worked for the agency since 2011 and has been deputy secretary and chief counsel since 2014.

The expansion of Sullivan’s role comes at a time when the state is facing increasing budget and cash-flow pressures in the wake of sweeping

tax cuts enacted in 2012 and 2013. This year, amid a near-stalemate over cutting the budget and raising taxes, lawmakers passed a $6.4 billion spending plan while at the same time directing the administration to find $50 million in savings.

Brownback’s press secretary, Eileen Hawley, said Sullivan’s new role will be an ongoing function of that office, separate and apart from the directive to find $50 million in savings.

She said the administration expects to announce the $50 million in savings by the end of next week.

has a previous felony DUI conviction and that Bullard “has no local ties.”

Bullard told the judge that he also sometimes stays with his son in Grain Valley, Mo., when he helps him with work. Wayne Hrabe, 40, a passenger in the truck, which displayed an “Affordable Painting” business logo, indicated to police Thursday that Bullard was his father.

Hrabe claimed to police on Thursday that he, not Bullard, was actually driving the truck, but Hrabe has

not been arrested or cited.

Hrabe, from Grain Valley, is listed as Affordable Painting’s co-owner on the business’ listing in the Better Business Bureau.

Police said Thursday that Hrabe owned the truck.

Martin set Bullard’s bond at $2,500. He was still in the Douglas County Jail as of 4:45 p.m.

Friday, but indicated in court that his wife would be calling a bondsman.

Bullard is scheduled to make his next appearance in court on Aug. 4.

Sara Belfry said Thursday that investigators tested bacterial levels in the river after each incident and found them to be normal.

“Downstream in Lawrence they have not seen any increase in bacterial levels,” she said.

Topeka performs routine checks of all pump stations and associated equipment, according to Doug Gerber, interim director of the city’s utili-

ties. He noted that backup generators should kick in if a power failure occurs, and sewer mains are underground and under pressure, making it tough to check them.

Whenever KDHE allows the release of partially treated sewage, the agency completes an investigation to follow up on what happened and what the city did to make sure people were correctly notified, Belfry said.

If you have ever visited Columbus, Kansas, then you have spent time in Ivory’s hometown. She came to Lawrence to broaden her horizons and hopes she will have a better chance of finding the home of her dreams.

He wouldn’t care if you want him to live in an apartment or a big house in Alvamar, as long as he is the center of your world, he would be happy.

ouTlaw

Come spend some time with him and you will be impressed, not only with his looks, but also with his personality. He needs a carrier and a collar to go home with you today.

BInklEy

Binkley is biding his time in Cat Adopt, being patient and soaking up all of the attention and snuggles from the staff and volunteers. I am told he is the ultimate lap cat and is always ready to cuddle with whomever has a lap available. Life is sweet for this 5 year old Domestic Short Hair, but would be even sweeter if he had a home to call his own. How about it? Can he come home with you?

angElou

Thrall

Our Catopia room has plenty of places for the cats to lounge and it isn’t unusual to find Thrall spread out on one of the shelves on the wall.

He does well with the other cats and seems to be content to snooze the day away.

MakkEy

Marky knows what it takes to get your attention. He is always ready with a welcoming meow and a gentle nudge for a head pat. At 7 years, he has had plenty of practice at being a social man about town. He is also quite handsome, so you are getting the total package with this fellow. He has a soft Domestic Long Hair coat with a dapper gray and white tuxedo look. An added bonus, he likes other cats.

Sanura

Treat yourself to some cuddles and some purrs.

Come meet Sanura. She is a full grown lady at 4 years and is one of the softest Domestic Long Hair torties you’ll ever have the pleasure of petting. Her previous owner had some traveling to do and Sanura decided to stay in the Lawrence area. She came in with some other cats, so she should do well with another cat. Don’t forget to bring a carrier and a collar.

nIna

Nina has a special talent. She can yodel. Or something like it. While she was waiting her turn to have her picture taken, she was excited to be outside and “sang” for me when she saw something she was interested in.

She is 2 year old Pit Bull Terrier and would thrive in an active home. Other dogs and children would be a plus for her. She would be happy to have someone to snuggle with.

FlannEry

Flannery is a big guy at 81 lbs. and prefers to spend a good deal of his time letting the rest of the world know that he is here.

He is a German Shepherd mix and has a long dense coat.

Shadow

Sometimes life throws us curve balls and we have to go with the flow.

Draco had one of those situations come up and he needed to come stay with us. He is a 7 year old miniature Schnauzer with a gray and black coat.

Estranged child returns to ‘borrow’ Mom’s ring Dear Annie: I have a problem with my oldest daughter. She has always been a selfish child. For years, we did not get along, and many times, we stopped speaking.

She popped back into my life last October through a Facebook chat. She was separated from her husband and had left her teenage children. She blamed everything on him and I believed her.

She visited me one day and asked to borrow my mother’s ring, but I said no. I always wore it.

Mind you, it’s not worth any money. It only has sentimental value. But when she dropped by another night and asked, I said OK. She promised to give it back. After a few weeks went by, I asked her to return it and she claimed I had given it to her to keep. I corrected her and said I

only let her borrow it.

She has since blocked me from her phone and Facebook page. Her husband has informed me that she is seeing a man at her job who is 20 years younger, and that she has started partying, drinking and possibly using drugs. He says he barely knows her anymore. I asked her husband to tell her that I want my mother’s ring back, but she refused his request as well. I am heartbroken.

Summer brings smart EMS profile The summer doldrums have always brought out the silly in network broadcasting. Years of “Wipeout,” “BOOM!” and “BattleBots” prove that.

Sometimes the fact that fewer people are watching gives networks “permission” to air something interesting, smart stuff from their news divisions that would never stand a chance during the fall season.

ABC has a long tradition of airing documentary-style series during the hot-weather months.

T h i s summer, “Boston EMS” (8 p.m.) joins “Save My Life: Boston Trauma” (9 p.m.) in following the city’s first responders and surgeons in unscripted, life-anddeath situations. Many of the professionals profiled in “EMS” were among the first to arrive at the scene at the 2014 Boston Marathon bombing.

O Lifetime’s obsession with kidnapping dramas continues with “Lost Boy” (7 p.m.), starring Virginia Madsen. A family is torn apart after the disappearance of 6-year-old Mitchell.

Consumed with guilt and grief, Laura (Madsen) becomes estranged from her husband, Greg (Mark Valley).

Tensions mount years later when a 17-year-old claiming to be Mitchell (Matthew Fahey) shows up at the back door. Not to give too much away here, but this development allows “Lost Boy” to morph back into a true Lifetime movie, a story about the sudden arrival of an ominous presence in the guise of being a “loved one.”

Tonight’s other highlights

O A locomotive won’t budge

on “Hell on Wheels” (8 p.m., AMC).

O Holly’s vanishing act proves worrisome on “Power” (8 p.m., Starz).

O A killer known as the Tooth Fairy targets families on “Hannibal” (9 p.m., NBC).

O Strange returns as magic takes hold on the season finale of “Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell” (9 p.m., BBC America).

O Teams are locked in a library and given an hour to solve a brain-teaser in the new series “Race to Escape” (9 p.m., Science), hosted by Jimmy Pardo.

Cult choice Erupting volcanoes spew a mutant race of molten spiders in the 2015 shocker “Lavalantula” (9 p.m., Syfy). Look for Steve Guttenberg, along with fellow “Police Academy” stars Michael Winslow, Marion Ramsey and Leslie Easterbrook.

Nia Peeples also stars.

What can I do? — Hurt Mom Dear Mom: Not too much. You voluntarily gave her the ring, which makes it her word against yours that it was only intended to be temporary.

Some children don’t turn out the way we hope, no matter how much we love them.

Your daughter sounds like an irresponsible, selfish person. You may need to consider Grandma’s ring to be her inheritance, and for your own peace of mind, please try to forgive her.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Had Enough,” the 68-yearold woman who was tired of her husband’s demand for sex. She asked how other seniors handled this.

My husband also had a robust sex drive. I lost interest after meno-

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Saturday, July 25: This year you will need to reconsider how you handle your finances and your feelings. In the next few months, take an honest look at your behavior in this regard. If you are single, try not to start dating until mid-September.

If you are attached, the two of you will find out how much you enjoy interacting with each other.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ++++ A sudden insight will occur when you attempt to see life from a different perspective.

Tonight: Go along with a friend’s suggestion.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ++++ Defer to others, as nearly everyone thinks he or she has better ideas than you do.

Tonight: Be graceful.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ++++ You have a lot of ground to cover. A child or loved one seems to be out of sorts.

Tonight: Get some exercise.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ++++ You might be more playful than many others are right now. A family member could be out of sorts. Tonight: Be willing to take a risk.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) +++ You might feel imposed upon by a family member. It appears as if you have little choice at the moment. Tonight: In the

pause, but for his sake, pretended all was well.

When his progressing Parkinson’s disease made it difficult for him to complete the act, I let him know that I had no interest, but I did agree to have sex once a week.

I dreaded it, as it became a real chore, but I kept my bargain until he died.

I did this because I understood how great his need was, I loved him and he loved me, and he was a considerate sex partner who was always faithful. I came to understand that sex for him was a security blanket.

I am glad I made the effort, because I would not want to be living with regrets now that he is gone. — Been There in Florida — Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

Tonight: Be a fiery spirit.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) +++ Sometimes you are not aware of the impact of a situation and its long-term ramifications.

Tonight: Share more of yourself.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ++++ Question your reasoning, because more often than not your intuition isn’t exactly righton. Tonight: Out with friends.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ++++ You could be in a position where you will have to make the same decision you made just a little while ago. Tonight: Try not to be out of control.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ++++ Friends will insist that you join them, to that extent that you might feel as if you have no choice. Tonight: Where your friends are.

Cowboys have their day at Tonganoxie festival

By Shawn Linenberger Twitter: @LJWorld

Organizer Charley Green hopes today’s event in downtown Tonganoxie and the Leavenworth County Fairgrounds rustles up some big crowds.

Tonganoxie will celebrate National Day of the American Cowboy with a parade and several country western music performances and vendors.

Green, a longtime cowboy himself, originally is from Linwood and is working to start a tradition with what’s hoped to be an annual attraction.

The national event began in 2005 when Congress designated the fourth Saturday in July as National Day of the Cowboy. Gov. Sam Brownback recently signed a proclamation also making it the Kansas Day of the Cowboy. Tonganoxie Mayor Jason Ward designated it as the Day of the Tonganoxie Cowboy at a July 6 city meeting.

This year’s event starts with a parade at 10 a.m. today through downtown Tonganoxie. The Commanding General’s Mounted Color Guard from Fort Riley will lead the parade.

A group representing the Nicodemus Buffalo Soldiers, the Old Fort Days Dandies, Mexican cowboys, dancing horses and cowboys and cowgirls on horseback are some of the parade participants to follow the Fort Riley group.

Vendors and exhibits demonstrating a range of cowboy culture will be featured along the parade route. Later in the day, a series of vocalists will perform in the afternoon and into the evening at The Jewel on Main, Fourth and Main streets.

Events taking place after today’s parade are: l High Noon Saloon opens at noon near Fourth and Main streets, with performances by The Stranger Creek Band and Stephanie Layne.

Society ENGAGEMENTS DavisSchenewerk Engagement Brad and Kris Davis of Lawrence are pleased to announce the engagement of their daughter, Ashley Davis, Lawrence, to Grant Schenewerk, Baldwin.

Ashley graduated from Free State High School in 2007, and earned her Bachelor’s of Science degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Kansas in 2012. She is currently pursuing a Masters in Engineering Management from Missouri Science & Technology. Ashley is employed with Black & Veatch in Overland Park, KS. The future groom is

In town this weekend are the USSSA World Series for 14-year-old girls’ softball, the Missouri Valley Swimming Long Course Championships and the Sunflower Showcase basketball tournament, according to the Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau.

“The hotels are sold out, something like 1,400 room nights,” Zogry said. “There were actually people who had to stay outside Lawrence.”

Basic schedules for the today’s sports events follow: l Semifinals for the USSSA World Series will begin at 9 a.m. at the Clinton Lake Softball Complex, 5101 Speicher Road. The final game will begin at 1 p.m.

Baldwin buildings named historic

The former Baldwin City School and Gymnasium/ Auditorium, 704 Chapel St., CORRECTIONS in Baldwin City, has been named to the National RegisThe Journal-World’s ter of Historic Places. Kansas policy is to correct all City-based architect Charles A. significant errors that are Smith designed the Baldwin brought to the editors’ City School, which opened in attention, usually in this January 1923. The building space. If you believe we embodies Progressive-era have made such an error, tenets, particularly involving call 785-832-7154, or email specialized classrooms, accordnews@ljworld.com. ing to a news release from

the Kansas Historical Society.

It hosted both elementary and high school classes until a new high school was built in 1969. Topeka-based architect Thomas W. Williamson designed a detached auditorium and gymnasium that was completed in 1942 as part of the Work Projects Administration program. Both buildings functioned as part of the local public school system until 2011. The property

was nominated as part of the Historic Public Schools of Kansas and New Deal-era Resources of Kansas multiple property nominations. The Baldwin school board sold the two buildings to Kansas City, Mo., developer Tony Krsnich for $90,000 in 2014.

Krsnich has been involved in several historic renovation projects in the state, including the Warehouse Arts District in East Lawrence.

Civil rights activist Rick “Tiger” Dowdell, who was killed by Lawrence police in July 1970, will be remembered Monday night at a historical event at the Lawrence Public Library.

Monday night’s event will recall Dowdell’s shooting — which took place in an alley near Ninth and Rhode Island streets and was later ruled justified — while touching on the many questions from that night that remain unanswered and drawing similarities between the events of 1970 and today, said Bill Tuttle, a Kansas University professor of American history and one of the speakers scheduled for the event.

“It’s an evening in which we can remember, but also talk about 2015, talk about Mother Emanuel AME Church, or that 12-year-old boy in Cleveland or Sandra Bland down in Texas who allegedly hung herself,” he said. “There are a certain number of similarities, a number of them being young black men being shot in the back of the head while running away.”

The event is sponsored by the Lawrence branch of the NAACP, KU’s Department of American Studies, the Langston Hughes Center at KU and the Lawrence Public Library.

The event is free and open to the public. It begins at 7 p.m. in the Lawrence Public Library’s auditorium, 707 Vermont St.

Videos could shift abortion views “Thank you Planned Parenthood. God bless you.”

— Barack Obama, address to Planned Parenthood, April 26, 2013 Washington — Planned Parenthood’s reaction to the release of a clandestinely recorded conversation about the sale of fetal body parts was highly revealing. After protesting that it did nothing illegal, it apologized for the “tone” of one of its senior directors.

Her remarks lacked compassion, admitted Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards. As if Dr. Deborah Nucatola’s cold and casual discussion over salad and wine of how the fetal body can be crushed with forceps in a way that leaves valuable organs intact for sale is some kind of personal idiosyncrasy. On the contrary, it’s precisely the kind of psychic numbing that occurs when dealing daily with industrial scale destruction of the growing, thriving, recognizably human fetus.

This was again demonstrated by the release this week of a second video showing another official sporting that same tone, casual and even jocular, while haggling over the price of an embryonic liver. “If it’s still low, then we can bump it up,” she joked, “I want a Lamborghini.”

Abortion critics have long warned that the problem is not only the obvious — what abortion does to the fetus — but also what it does to us. It’s the same

Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer.com

“

Of all the major social issues, abortion is the only one that has not moved toward increasing liberalization.”

kind of desensitization that has occurred in the Netherlands with another mass exercise in life termination: assisted suicide. It began as a way to prevent the suffering of the terminally ill. It has now become so widespread and wanton that one-fifth of all Dutch assistedsuicide patients are euthanized without their explicit consent.

The Planned Parenthood revelations will have an effect.

Perhaps not on government funding, given the Democratic Party’s unwavering support and the president wishing it divine guidance. Planned Parenthood might escape legal jeopardy as well, given the loophole in the law banning the sale of fetal parts that permits compensation for expenses (shipping and handling, as it were).

But these revelations will

have an effect on public perceptions. Just as ultrasound altered feelings about abortion by showing the image, the movement, the vibrant livingness of the developing infant in utero, so too, I suspect, will these Planned Parenthood revelations, by throwing open the door to the backroom of the clinic where that being is destroyed.

It’s an ugly scene. The issue is less the sale of body parts than how they are obtained. The nightmare for abortion advocates is a spreading consciousness of how exactly a healthy fetus is turned into a mass of marketable organs, how, in the words of a senior Planned Parenthood official, one might use “a less crunchy technique” — crush the head, spare the organs — “to get more whole specimens.”

The effect on the public is a two-step change in sensibilities. First, when ultrasound reveals how human the living fetus appears. Next, when people learn, as in these inadvertent admissions, what killing the fetus involves.

Remember. The advent of ultrasound has coincided with a remarkable phenomenon: Of all the major social issues, abortion is the only one that has not moved toward increasing liberalization. While the legalization of drugs, the redefinition of marriage and other assertions of individual autonomy have advanced, some with astonishing rapidity, abortion attitudes have remained largely static.

The country remains evenly split.

What will be the reaction to these Planned Parenthood revelations? Right now, to try to deprive it of taxpayer money.

Citizens repelled by its activities should not be made complicit in them. But why not shift the focus from the facilitator to the procedure itself?

The House has already passed a bill banning abortion after 20 weeks. That’s far more fruitful than trying to ban it entirely because, apart from the obvious constitutional issue, there is no national consensus about the moral status of the early embryo. There’s more agreement on the moral status of the later-term fetus. Indeed, about two-thirds of Americans would ban abortion after the first trimester.

There is more division about the first trimester because one’s views of the early embryo are largely a matter of belief, often religious belief. One’s view of the later-term fetus, however, is more a matter of what might be called sympathetic identification — seeing the image of a recognizable human infant and, now, hearing from the experts exactly what it takes to “terminate” its existence.

The role of democratic politics is to turn such moral sensibilities into law. This is a moment to press relentlessly for a national ban on late-term abortions.

Support peace To the editor: We have three choices. One is to stay with the present system, with no inspections for Iran, no limits on future nuclear weapons and no cooperation with the rest of the world. We can go again to war.

Or we can support the treaty and take a step toward stability and peace in the Middle East and the world. I hope that Sens. Roberts and Moran will step outside of partisan boundaries and vote the best interests of this country and the world.

Anne Haehl, Lawrence

Managing risks

Gov. Brownback, Secretary of State Kobach and the Republican-dominated Kansas Legislature (in their oh-soproven wisdom) know better. They smile at us and, in chorus, intone, “trust us.”

I refer to the July 18, JournalWorld front page article, “Kansas voting without a paper trail.”

Wichita State University professor of mathematics, Beth Clarkson, has been attempting to investigate odd patterns in recent Kansas election returns. Kansas, (as do many other states around the country) now uses election voting machines. In Clarkson’s attempts to look into voting data she found that there is either no paper trail or has run into state and county officials fighting tooth and nail to not have any voting data released.

Cue the smile, hear the chorus, “trust us.”

I want my vote to count, I want that a lot! Voting for who one believes most accurately represents one’s needs is one of the most important and basic rights of a citizen.

I want to have faith my vote has been accurately counted, and not negated or reversed by a few clicks on a keyboard. Kansans who care about our state and Americans who care about our history as a free people need to look hard into this. God help us.

Daniel Patrick Schamle, Lawrence

To the editor: Headlines and debates have abounded after news of the new Iran treaty.

Matters of control, inspection, research, monitoring and verification are pointed out as vulnerabilities and risks. (Can any treaty eliminate risks?) We with thousands of bombs hold an incomparable advantage — and thank God no one expects us to use or threaten with them. (The bomb must to be “useless.”) Still, safety is an important and cherished goal.

Of course, in Kansas, conceal and carry is a “citizen’s right.” And does that promote safety? No risk? No control, no registration, no training, no limit equals safety? I prefer reducing or eliminating that risk.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for July 25, 1915: “Customers of the Santa Fe railway system are waiting for trains on the platform of the station these days and years they are apt to have to keep on staying outago side for three more weeks at least, for the IN 1915 repairs on the station will not be finished sooner than that. However, the customers don’t object to that for they say that the outside is the place to be in the summer time.”

O

ne of the best ways to find new things to incorporate into a garden is to peruse the neighborhood at different times of year to see what plants are thriving.

In mid- to late summer, some plants are suffering from the heat, while others are just coming into glory. Over the next few weeks, you might catch the grand beauty of summer flowering bulbs such as gladiolus, cannas, dahlias and two species of alliums.

Summer flowering bulbs are generally classified as annuals in the Lawrence area, although cannas will occasionally survive the winter and one species of allium is perennial. Plant them in spring after all danger of frost has passed and enjoy them in the heat of the summer.

The bulbs, corms or tubers should be dug from the garden after fall frost occurs but before the ground completely freezes. Once dry, wrap in newspaper, peat moss, burlap or something similar and store in a cool, dry place for the winter.

Ideal storage temperature for summer flowering bulbs is 40 to 60 degrees F. Replant each spring.

Each variety has unique attributes to add to the garden. Here are the details:

Gladiolus in bloom

Garden Variety

Jennifer Smith Cannas Another old favorite, cannas produce red, orange, pink and yellow flowers at the top of an unrolling of giant tropical leaves. Dwarf cannas are 1 foot or more in height and old-fashioned varieties may grow to 8 feet in their short life. Flowers are arranged like gladiolus on a long stem but smaller and less showy. Plants are also available with bronze and variegated leaves for additional interest.

Gladiolus Plants produce long stems with stacked blossoms popular for arrangements. Cut stems and bring them to a vase inside for enjoyment, or prop them in the landscape to keep wind and rain from knocking bloomladen stems to the ground.

Gladiolus are available in almost any color, in miniature as well as regular size, and with plain, frilly or ruffly petals.

BEST BETS WOW DTV DISH 7 PM

Dahlias Showy blossoms in an array of red, pink, purple, orange, yellow and white make dahlias another popular cut flower. Plant height ranges from 1 to 6 feet across varieties, and taller varieties may need staking or propping in the landscape. Dahlias are also prone to more disease and insect problems than other summer flowering bulbs,

but the blooms are worth the extra care if you can find the time.

Alliums Allium “Millenium” is a beautiful summerblooming hybrid that produces a round rosypurple ball at the top of a 1- to 1 1/2-foot-tall stem.

The ball is a cluster of tiny flowers with a seethrough effect and will give the most show when the plants are massed.

Millenium produces sterile seed unlike other alliums, so it will only grow where it is planted.

The second summerblooming allium option is A. tuberosa, or garlic chives. A. tuberosa is perennial so it will save the maintenance of digging and replanting, but it also reproduces by seed so it can spread quickly. The plant produces clusters of tiny pink to white flowers atop long stems.

Plant it for both ornamental and culinary use.

Unleashing fines on dog owners

Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx launched an investigation Friday into whether five airlines gouged travelers on ticket prices after an Amtrak crash in Philadelphia.

“The idea that any business would seek to take advantage of stranded rail passengers in the wake of such a tragic event is unacceptable,” Foxx told reporters at a breakfast organized by the Christian Science Monitor newspaper. “This department takes all allegations of airline price-gouging seriously, and we will pursue a thorough investigation of these consumer complaints.”

But the airlines — American, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest and United — denied charging unfair ticket prices for travelers after the May 12 crash, which closed the passenger rail line in the popular Northeast corridor for days.

American and Delta each said they added capacity — flights and larger planes — after the crash.

“We are cooperating with the DOT and are confident that there will be no finding of wrongdoing

by American,” said Casey Norton, an American spokesman who said the carrier’s fare structure remained the same.

The investigation is separate from the Justice Department inquiry into potential collusion among airlines into general airline pricing. Justice investigates crimes and Transportation investigates consumer complaints, Foxx said.

Sen. Christopher Murphy, DConn., requested the probe and asked the Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission to investigate higher prices in the days after the train crash, including a $2,309 ticket from New York’s LaGuardia to Washington.

WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON The Justice Department has been asked to review a “potential compromise of classified information” involving material recovered on a private email account used by Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of State, according to a joint statement issued Friday by two government inspectors general.

The officials representing the State Department and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said the request did not constitute a “criminal referral,” as first reported by The New York Times late Thursday.

“It was a security referral made for counterintelligence purposes,” according to the statement issued by I. Charles McCullough,

the inspector general for the U.S. Intelligence Community, and State Department Inspector General Steve Linick.

The officials said four emails containing classified information were found in a small sample taken from 30,000 emails previously provided for review by Clinton.

The unusual joint statement comes after Justice earlier Friday corrected its own characteriza-

tion of the inspectors general request from a criminal referral to potential compromise of classified information.

Clinton, prior to a speech Friday, made general references to “inaccuracies” in recent media reports.

“Maybe the heat is getting to everybody,” Clinton, the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination, said. “We all have a responsibility to get this right. I have released 55,000 pages of emails ... . I have said repeatedly that I will answer questions before a House committee.”

Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus said, “Hillary Clinton’s desire to play by her own rules may have further exposed classified information,” adding a Justice Department review was “required.” He also called for a third party to examine her email server.

Fiat Chrysler looks to thwart hackers with recall of 1.4M cars Feds say they’ll probe effectiveness of move Chris Woodyard @ChrisWoodyard USA TODAY

In what appears to be an industry first, Fiat Chrysler launched a giant recall Friday to try to shield its vehicles from computer hackers.

The U.S. unit of the automaker ordered a voluntary safety recall on 1.4 million vehicles to update software in the infotainment system to prevent the possibility

that they could be hacked. No specific list of models was released. Rather, Fiat Chrysler said the recall applied to vehicles with “certain radios.”

Shortly after the recall was announced, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said it is launching an investigation to assess whether Fiat Chrysler’s recall will be effective.

“Launching a recall is the right step to protect Fiat Chrysler’s customers, and it sets an important precedent for how NHTSA and the industry will respond to cybersecurity vulnerabilities,” NHTSA administrator Mark Ro-

A Jeep Cherokee winds up in a ditch after hackers successfully took control of the vehicle through its infotainment system. sekind said in a statement.

The recall comes in reaction to a demonstration by Wired magazine in which two hackers were

able to take control of a Jeep SUV and control it remotely while a journalist was in the driver’s seat.

They cranked up the air condi-

tioning and took over the sound system. The car ended up in a ditch. The test involved accessing the vehicle via its UConnect infotainment system.

FCA US, the new name for what used to be Chrysler Group, said the recall “aligns with an ongoing software distribution that insulates connected vehicles from remote manipulation, which, if unauthorized, constitutes criminal action.”

It also says it has applied network-level security measures to prevent the type of remote manipulation demonstrated by Wired. It says the measures were implemented Thursday.

Nairobi locals take in Friday’s newspaper with headlines welcoming President Obama, whose father was born in Kenya.

With Nairobi on lockdown, Obama arrives in Kenya Tight security in capital leaves many people wanting

“This kind of high-profile visit is likely to attract cases of insecurity.

But, in stating this, I would also want to note that we are gaining ground in the war against terror.”

Tonny Onyulo

Special for USA TODAY NAIROBI , KENYA

Residents in this capital city were on lockdown as President Obama arrived Friday evening for a three-day visit, leaving many already chafing under tight security measures meant to reduce crime and minimize terrorist threats.

While his arrival was heavily anticipated because of his Kenyan roots, the streets were unusually quiet in this normally bustling, chaotic metropolis. No groups of young men were hanging on corners, pedestrians were absent, beggars moved elsewhere.

Because of security measures, vendors can’t sell trinkets, families can’t buy vegetables and residents can’t withdraw cash from banks. The government has told non-essential businesses in Nairobi to close and residents to stay home until Obama leaves Sunday for Ethiopia.

“Our leaders need to be conscious and let us live a normal life. We don’t need to change anything because a visitor has come,” said Lewis Asambe, 42.

Armed U.S. Secret Service agents and more than 10,000 Kenyan security officers, including snipers, were in place near

With security heightened, Kenyan police patrol the streets of Nairobi on Friday ahead of President Obama’s visit. the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport as Obama’s plane touched down Friday evening.

Kenya President Uhuru Kenyatta and other senior government officials greeted Obama at the airport before he was whisked away in his armed motorcade toward the U.S. embassy in the Gigiri district of the capital.

Tight security is always present during U.S. presidential visits. But Kenya is taking additional steps to guard against attempts by al-Shabab terrorists to disrupt the trip. The group stormed a northeastern Kenyan university in April, killing 148 people, mostly students. Two years ago, the militant group attacked Nairobi’s upscale Westgate Mall, killing 67

in a four-day siege. The mall reopened only last Saturday.

Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Ole Nkaissery said anyone violating the security measures risks arrest. “Any person found loitering and without identity card will be arrested and prosecuted,” he said.

Beggars who depend on food from business owners in the capital were forcibly evicted from city streets while vendors and hawkers were shooed away from main roads.

The security crackdown has disappointed entrepreneurs who had hoped to cash in on all the tourists flocking here to buy Obama souvenirs and other gifts. “We thought that it was about time to

reap the harvest from the visit,” said John Oduor, a vendor who sells bangles.

Residents and business owners said the razing of make-shift kiosks and stalls by security personnel goes too far.

“They should know that we need to eat even if Obama is coming,” said Pauline Nyongesa, whose vegetable stall was destroyed by law enforcement.

“President Obama will not give us aid to pay rent and feed our children.”

Obama, whose father was born in Kenya, is scheduled to hold talks with Kenyatta to discuss the terror threat plaguing the country. He will also address a Global Entrepreneurship Summit.

Mama Sarah Obama, 95, Obama’s step-grandmother, flew to Nairobi on Friday to meet with him, Kenyan media reported.

Turkey ramps up fight against Islamic State Government agrees to let U.S. use air base Lucy Kafanov and Jim Michaels

@LucyKafanov, @jimmichaels USA TODAY

Turkish fighter planes bombed Islamic State positions in neighboring Syria for the first time in a pre-dawn attack Friday, a significant expansion of the battle against the extremist group, the Turkish government announced.

In another sign of Turkey’s new aggressive stance against the Islamic State, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan confirmed Friday his country has agreed to allow manned aircraft and drones from a U.S.-led coalition to use the Incirlik Air Base in southern Turkey to launch airstrikes against the militants. The government said in a statement that the Turkish Air Force would join the coalition’s campaign for the first time.

During a televised news conference here, Erdogan said “terrorist groups” must lay down ISTANBUL

DENIZ TOPRAK, EPA

Tanks patrol the streets Friday around Kilis, which is in southeastern Turkey near the border with Syria. weapons or “face the consequences” and that Friday’s airstrikes are the “first steps” in combating the Islamic State.

Earlier Friday, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Turkey is taking “all necessary steps” to protect its security, and the airstrikes represent “a comprehensive process against terrorism, not limited to a day or a region.”

The agreement on using Incirlik, long sought by the U.S., apparently was reached Wednesday in a telephone call between Erdogan

and President Obama. The White House said in a statement the two leaders had agreed to “deepen our cooperation” against the militants but did not go into the details of an agreement to use the air base. Access to the base would put U.S. warplanes, drones and surveillance aircraft much closer to militant targets.

The Turkish airstrikes come amid heightening tensions between Turkey and Islamic State militants, who have a sizable presence in Syria and have posed

an increasing threat to Turkey.

Thursday, militants fired across the border, killing a Turkish soldier.

The U.S. has been urging Turkey to play a more active role in combating the Islamic State, which has lured numerous fighters from the West who transit to the battlefields through Turkey’s 500-mile long border with Syria.

Turkey’s location makes it an important ally in the coalition organized by the U.S. Turkey has recently taken steps to make it harder to cross into Syria.

“This is a major policy shift,” said Michael Stephens, director of the Royal United Services Institute in Qatar. “For Turkey to start taking these sorts of steps means they are going to be inviting a response from ISIS, which means they better be prepared to see it through the whole way.”

The Dogan news agency said as many as 35 militants were killed in an airstrike Friday across the Turkish border province of Kilis.

The agency didn’t cite a source for the report and there was no official confirmation.

Michaels reported from McLean, Va.

that could be a soft target for him."

Joined by Gov. Bobby Jindal at a news conference, Craft reported that one victim remained in critical condition and four others were in stable condition. Four more were released from the hospital.

One of the wounded played dead to survive, Jindal said.

Houser was described Friday as a "drifter" from Phenix City who espoused extreme rightwing views, threatened his family and others and had a history of mental problems. He was denied a concealed carry gun permit in 2006 because of his 1990 arrest for trying to hire someone to set fire to a Georgia lawyer's office and a domestic violence complaint against him in 2005, Russell County Sheriff Heath Taylor confirmed.

His arrest record, according to Phenix City police, lists incidents of alleged theft in 2011 and domestic violence in 2007. He was “a drifter who just happened to be in this theater and just took two beautiful lives,” said Col. Michael Edmonson of the Louisiana State Police. He said Houser was apparently acting alone.

Houser “has a history of mental health issues, i.e. manic depression and/or bi-polar disorder,” his family said in court documents in 2008, when he made violent threats in an effort to stop his daughter’s wedding. A judge granted the family’s petition to have him involuntarily committed to a hospital as “a danger to himself and others.”

Houser refused to back down after getting out, so his wife, daughter and other relatives obtained a protective order accusing him of having “perpetrated various acts of family violence.”

Witnesses said the melee Thursday evening began about 20 minutes into the screening of the film Trainwreck, when the gunman stood up and fired 13 times at random inside the theater, packed with 300 moviegoers.

“The information we have at this time indicates that he was by himself, sat by himself, and the first two people he shot were sitting right in front of him,” Craft said.

Mayci Breaux, 21, of Franklin, La., died at the scene and Jillian Johnson, 33, of Lafayette, died at a hospital, police said. Nine people, ranging in age from the late teens to their 60s, were hurt, including one in critical condition.

Police said Houser had parked his 1995 Lincoln Continental, with switched phony license plates, near the theater’s exit and was apparently trying to escape when officers arrived. He had left his keys on top of one tire.

“It is apparent that he was intent on shooting and then escaping,” Craft said. “Quick law enforcement response forced him back inside the theater, at which time he shot himself.”

NATION/WORLD Inspector general says watchdog role undermined New Justice memo limits records access Kevin Johnson @bykevinj USA TODAY

The U.S. hopes its latest propaganda drop will encourage young men in the Middle East to reject the Islamic State.

Grisly propaganda bomb targets ISIL with comic leaflets Tom Vanden Brook @tvandenbrook USA TODAY

The Pentagon on Thursday released a copy of its latest propaganda leaflet, appearing to urge young Syrians to reject the Islamic State with an illustration that echoes comic book super heroes.

The leaflets, titled “Freedom Is Rising,” shows four armed fighters striding through a hellish scene at dawn, bodies of militants from the group also known as ISIL or ISIS strewn at their feet.

Warplanes for the U.S.-led coalition dropped about 50,000 of the leaflets July 18 north of Raqqa, capital of the group’s self-proclaimed state, said Army Maj. Curtis Kellogg, a military spokesman.

The leaflet’s graphic nature, inWASHINGTON

cluding what looks like an eviscerated, dead militant, borrows imagery from graphic novels or comic books aimed at a younger audience, said Nicholas Heras, a researcher with the Middle East Security Program at the Center for a New American Security.

“The message that this leaflet sends is not at all ambiguous: ISIS is demonic, an army straight out of hell, and that the soldiers sent to vanquish it will succeed and will do so marching with the dawn of righteousness at their backs,” Heras said. “The light of the dawn, which vanquishes the darkness of ISIS’ rule, also has an overtone that the soldiers defeating ISIS are the ones who are holy, not ISIS, and that they are doing heavenly work.”

Since last summer, ISIL has captured large pieces of territory in Syria and neighboring Iraq, brutalizing local populations. The

allied bombing campaign strikes targets on a daily basis in both countries.

The Pentagon and White House strategy has been to train and equip local forces to fight ISIL on the ground, saying they are the only ones capable of maintaining an enduring defeat of militant rule. There are about 3,300 U.S. troops in Iraq, none of them in a front line, combat role.

The July 18 leaflet drop is the fourth such propaganda mission since March. A special bomb dispersed leaflets in the first drop, but the military declines to say how they delivered the others.

The military has also declined to release estimates on the effectiveness of the leaflets except to say they believe the drops have had a positive effect.

“The leaflet’s message, like others released by the coalition, is intended to demoralize and

dissuade potential and current ISIL fighters, followers and supporters from continuing their barbaric actions against the people of this region,” Kellogg said.

Anti-ISIL forces in Syria, including Kurdish fighters, have retaken ground north of Raqqa in recent weeks in the vicinity of the leaflet drops, according to Pentagon officials. There is concern, however, that the campaign there, labeled “Euphrates Volcano,” lacks sufficient support from Sunni Arabs who dominate the region, Heras said.

“These leaflet drops may be an attempt to convince the local Sunni Arab tribes in these ISIScontrolled villages north of Raqqa that the U.S. is very serious about the Euphrates Volcano campaign succeeding, and that they can expect support in their rebellions, if they have the courage to seize the moment,” Heras said.

IN BRIEF JUSTICE: IN NOV., POLLARD GETS ‘MANDATORY PAROLE’

Obama administration officials said convicted Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard will be eligible for mandatory parole in November but denied reports that his release would in any way be tied to the Iran nuclear deal.

Pollard, 61, a U.S. Navy Investigative Service analyst convicted of spying for Israel, was sentenced to life in prison following his 1985 arrest.

“The Department of Justice has always and continues to maintain that Jonathan Pollard should serve his full sentence for the serious crimes he committed, which in this case is a 30-year sentence as mandated by statute,” the DOJ said in a statement.

Under mandatory parole, Pollard’s release date would be Nov. 21. The Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed sources, reported Friday that the U.S. was preparing to release Pollard in the hope that “the move will smooth relations with Israel in the wake of the Iran nuclear deal.”

Alistair Baskey, a spokesperson for the National Security Council, said Pollard’s status “will be determined by the United States Parole Commission according to standard procedures,” and added that “there is absolutely zero linkage between Mr. Pollard’s status and foreign policy considerations.”

Israel officials who oppose the Iran agreement have appealed for Pollard’s release for years, but have been rebuffed.

WASHINGTON Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz asserted Thursday that the office’s central watchdog function has been undermined by a legal memorandum that, he said, effectively blocks independent access to sensitive records to complete internal reviews.

The 58-page memorandum issued this week by Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel limits disclosure of grand jury information, the contents of wiretaps and consumer information to inspector general investigators. Although there is no specific evidence to suggest that such information sought by the inspector general has been ultimately denied, the memo effectively affirms longstanding restrictions that have delayed access to sensitive information, for months in some cases, Horowitz has said previously.

“As a result of the OLC’s opinion, the (inspector general) will now need to obtain Justice Department permission in order to get access to important information in the department’s files,” Horowitz said in a written statement, adding that the memo goes against the oversight authority

Inspector General Michael Horowitz complains of legal delays in getting documents.

granted by Congress to inspectors general across the government.

“Congress meant what it said when it authorized inspectors general to independently access all documents necessary to conduct effective oversight,” Horowitz said. “Without such access, our office’s ability to conduct its work will be significantly impaired.”

Horowitz has expressed concern about delays in obtaining information in past high-profile inquiries, including internal reviews of the government’s handling of the Boston Marathon bombings, a botched gun trafficking operation known as “Fast and Furious” and in a review of sexual misconduct by Drug Enforcement Administration agents in Colombia.

Horowitz said this week in a highly critical audit of the DEA’s management of confidential informants that his office’s work was “seriously delayed” because the agency blocked access until the matter was taken to the DEA’s top administrator.

“These kinds of issues are just unacceptable,” Horowitz said in the DEA report.

Horowitz said Thursday that Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates have “expressed their commitment” to assist the inspector general in seeking a legislative remedy.

“The department has long held the position that the inspector general should have access to all the information it needs to perform its essential oversight function,” Justice spokeswoman Emily Pierce said. “Consistent with this view, department leadership has implemented procedures to ensure that the inspector general receives sensitive law enforcement information in a timely manner.”

Insurance industry megamergers on the rise Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

The health care insurance industry’s consolidation rush is accelerating with insurance giant Anthem’s deal to acquire Cigna in a transaction valued at $54.2 billion.

Anthem on Friday confirmed it has reached a deal to buy Cigna, creating a mammoth for-profit insurer with annual revenues of more than $115 billion and more

than 53 million insured patients.

Together, the insurers represent about 17% of the U.S. population.

Their match follows weeks of intense negotiations, with Cigna at one point publicly rejecting Anthem’s entree. But Anthem CEO Joe Swedish and Cigna CEO David Cordani said on a conference call that they had ironed out their differences.

Swedish will retain his titles of chairman and CEO of Anthem, while Cordani will become president and chief operating officer.

Anthem has 52,000 employees,

$78.5 billion in annual revenue and 38.5 million members, while Cigna has 37,000 employees, $36.5 billion in revenue and 14.5 million members. Anthem already runs Blue Cross and Blue Shield insurance plans in 14 states and Medicaid offerings through the Amerigroup brand in 19 states.

Swedish said the combined company would shed $2 billion in costs within two years of the deal’s closing but didn’t specify where those cuts would occur.

UnitedHealth Group CEO Stephen Hemsley last week called the merger-and-acquisition realm in the insurance business “excep-

tionally active.”

Aetna recently reached a deal to acquire smaller rival Humana for $37 billion, and UnitedHealth Group was rumored to be considering a deal for Aetna.

Anthem is delivering a combination of cash and stock for Cigna, equaling compensation of about $188 per Cigna share based on the May 28 closing price of Anthem stock. Cigna initially rejected Anthem’s $184-per-share offer as too low.

The deal will require regulatory approvals. Executives are confident they can close the deal by the second half of 2016.

The decline surprised economists, who predicted a 0.9% increase to 550,000 in an Econoday survey. The price of new houses also dropped to a median $281,800, down from May’s median of $282,800.

The deadly movie theater shooting in Lafayette, La., on Thursday will bring the heated discussion of theater safety back into the national spotlight.

John Russell Houser, 59, opened fire with a .40-caliber handgun in the theater showing the comedy Trainwreck. Houser killed two people and wounded nine others, unloading at least 13 shots, before reloading his handgun and killing himself.

The calls for increased security echo back to the 2012 mass shooting in a movie theater showing The Dark Knight in Aurora, Colo., which killed 12 and injured 70.

Two years later in Florida, a retired police captain fatally shot a fellow moviegoer after a confrontation about the latter’s frequent texting.

“Theater security is going to be a hot-button issue for quite some time, especially after (another) major incident on Thursday night,” says Jeff Bock, a box office analyst for the tracking service Exhibitor Relations.

“That’s a good thing. Safety is

“Collectively, this is all part of a much bigger issue that we as Americans will have to deal with.”

Jeff Bock, a box office analyst for the tracking service Exhibitor Relations

the No. 1 concern for people at any audience event.”

Theater chain operators and their governing body, the National Association of Theater Owners, have declined to comment directly after the most recent shooting.

But Jim Davis, who served as executive director for the Colorado Department of Public Safety and a Homeland Security adviser to Gov. John Hickenlooper at the time of the 2012 Aurora shootings, believes there will have to be permanent security changes.

“There is no question in my mind that there are meetings going on as we speak, talking about improving security and associated liability. I think it will take time to happen,” says Davis, a partner in Public Safety Ventures in Longmont, Colo. “By necessity now — from a liability standpoint, movie theaters are going to have to step up.”

Davis points to the enhanced screening at stadium venues where patrons must walk through metal detectors and have their bags searched before entering. “(Stadium owners) have decided that people are willing to put up with that level of security to go see a game. The question

for the movie theaters (or anyone else) is, where is that line?”

The implications are huge for theater chain operators and theater owners with the potential cost security upgrades — with theaters being significantly smaller venues than stadiums with higher turnover. Walkthrough metal detectors alone average $3,500 to $7,500 per unit. That’s before the full cost of installing or manning them is factored in.

“Magnetometers (metal detectors) are expensive. You have to buy them, you have to install them, you have to train your employees to be able to use them and maintain them,” Davis says.

“You have to come up with new entry procedures so you don’t have huge lines at the front of the theater that turn people off.

There’s a lot of expense and impact on the enjoyment of the event for folks.”

In the end, Bock believes much broader, national discussions on issues such as gun safety are needed to truly tackle the issue.

“Some of these (security) solutions are just band-aids for the problem,” Bock says. “Collectively, this is all part of a much bigger issue that we as Americans will have to deal with.”

FCC gives OK to AT&T-DirecTV merger Company could become top pay-TV provider Roger Yu

@RogerYu_ USA TODAY

The Federal Communications Commission said Friday it has approved AT&T’s $49 billion acquisition of DirecTV, removing the companies’ biggest hurdle in their desire to create the largest U.S. pay-TV provider.

The approval was expected.

Tuesday, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler confirmed he circulated to his fellow FCC commissioners the agency’s proposed order approving the acquisition, with AT&T and DirecTV agreeing to some conditions.

In completing its acquisition of

DirecTV, AT&T is “now a fundamentally different company with a diversified set of capabilities and businesses,” said AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson in a statement.

Even before Wheeler’s recommendation, analysts had bet on the merger being approved as AT&T U-Verse’s TV service — with about 6 million customers — is a relatively small player in the TV market. The relatively smooth approval process is in direct contrast with Comcast, whose bid to buy Time Warner Cable for $45 billion was quashed by regulators earlier this year.

While the two transactions were often compared, AT&T’s deal for DirecTV was different.

Had Comcast bought TWC, the merged entity would have controlled more than half of the Internet broadband market. AT&T,

ANDREW BURTON

AT&T said it pursued DirecTV and its 20 million customers to expand its television business nationally.

the nation’s second-largest wireless carrier that also provides payTV, broadband Internet and phone services, sought to mark the distinction, noting DirecTV doesn’t directly offer Internet.

AT&T pursued DirecTV to expand its TV business nationally and to enhance its negotiating power vs. TV networks that are demanding higher fees for their

programs. DirecTV, whose satellite-based TV service is available nationally and has about 20 million customers, also enables AT&T to offer more bundled packages for all of their product options. For example, AT&T could offer rural market customers a package of wireless smartphone subscription, satellite TV and Internet access delivered via its wireless network. Once the merger is complete, AT&T would serve about 26 million TV customers.

The Department of Justice’s antitrust division, which must also approve the merger, also said Tuesday it will not block the deal and closed its investigation.

As a condition of the FCC’s approval, AT&T will have to expand its “competitive high-speed fiber connection” to 12.5 million customer locations.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch David Craig @davidgcraig USA TODAY

The initial public offering market has been enjoying boom times, and that will continue next week when Wall Street gets a steady stream of companies selling newly minted stock.

June was the busiest month for IPOs since 2000. And though the pace has dropped off a bit in July, the past week showed just how popular IPOs can be.

Of the three companies that went public this week, two — biotech firm Neos Therapeutics and healthy pet food maker Blue Buffalo — jumped more than 30% in their first day of trading.

Investors potentially could have a lot of IPOs to pick from next week, based on the companies Renaissance Capital says

Analysts think online retailer still has upside Q: Is it too late to buy Amazon?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Amazon.com blew away expectations for profit in the just-reported second quarter. And that’s blowing the top off what investors think the stock is worth.

Shares of the online retailer rocketed more than 12% Friday following its report of an adjusted profit of 19 cents a share. That was an impressive performance given investors were braced for an adjusted loss of 11 cents a share.

And unlike some other companies that have beaten expectations just by slashing costs, Amazon is growing, too.

Revenue during the period jumped 20% to $23.2 billion.

It’s agreed that Amazon is performing well. But investors are wondering if they’ve missed the rally. Shares of Amazon are up 55% this year. The company reported a net loss over the past 12 months, so it doesn’t have a trailing P-E ratio, but it’s not a cheap stock. Shares are trading for 175 times what the company is expected to earn over the next 12 months. Compare that with the 15 times forward valuation of Walmart.

Analysts remain positive on the stock, rating it an “outperform” with an 18month price target of $615 a share, S&P Capital IQ says. If correct, that would be 14% upside — even following Friday’s powerful rally higher.

FTC investigates GM dealers’ ‘certified’ used car claims Greg Gardner

Detroit Free Press

The Federal Trade Commission is investigating whether General Motors dealers promoted used vehicles as “certified preowned” despite failing to make repairs required under publicly announced recalls, the company disclosed Thursday.

“On June 3, 2015, we received notice of an investigation by the Federal Trade Commission concerning certified pre-owned vehicle advertising where dealers had certified vehicles allegedly need-

ing recall repairs,” GM stated in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission detailing its second-quarter financial performance. “We continue to investigate these matters and believe we are cooperating fully with all requests for information in ongoing investigations.”

Such investigations could result in significant fines, civil consent orders and criminal penalties, the company said, but it could not offer an estimate of the potential impact. It’s unclear if dealers are also targeted by the FTC probe.

This is the latest in a series of

investigations arising from GM’s recall of nearly 30 million vehicles worldwide last year. The most damaging of those recalls involved defective ignition switches that have been linked to 124 deaths. GM has set aside $625 million for the cost of an independently administered compensation fund.

Kenneth Feinberg, who has administered the fund, has reviewed 4,342 claims related to the defect.

The probe that likely could cost the most is an investigation led by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Preet Bharara. Bharara is investi-

gating whether GM was criminally liable in failing to notify federal safety regulators of the defective ignition switches in a timely manner.

An independent investigation, commissioned by GM and completed in June 2014, found that some GM engineers knew of the problem as early as 2003.

In March 2014, the U.S. Department of Justice levied a $1.2 billion criminal fine on Toyota, the largest penalty against any automaker, for failing to disclose knowledge that some drivers of their vehicles experience sudden acceleration.

Elijah Wood’s Clint is in trouble in Cooties. The actor, a producer on the film, was reluctant to step in front of the camera.

Wood itching to add some fun to the thrills

‘Lord of the Rings’ star says new horror/comedy is gory, with depth Brian Truitt @briantruitt USA TODAY

GYLLENHAAL BY JAMIE MCCARTHY, FILMMAGIC

MAKING WAVES Talk about a good deed!

Kristen Bell made a 6-yearold cancer patient’s wish come true when she left her a voicemail as her GETTY IMAGES ‘Frozen’ character, Anna. Bell got into full character for the call, congratulating the little girl on her bravery and saying her sister, Queen Elsa, wants to make her a princess.

CAUGHT IN THE ACT

Elijah Wood is responsible for an outbreak of Cooties this fall.

Instead of vampires or zombies, fourth-graders are the real monsters in the horror/comedy (in theaters and on demand Sept.

18) starring Rainn Wilson, Alison Pill, Jack McBrayer and Wood, who doubles as one of the film’s producers.

“It’s funny and ridiculous and gory and violent, but there’s also depth,” the Lord of the Rings actor says of the movie directed by Jonathan Milott and Cary Murnion and written by Leigh Whannell (Saw, Insidious) and Glee cocreator Ian Brennan.

Wood plays Clint Hadson, who returns to his hometown after a stint as a New York City writer to be a substitute teacher at his alma mater, Fort Chicken Elementary.

The kids in the school are all slightly adult and have grown up a little too fast, according to Wood — and a few of them are a

little overmedicated as well.

A bad batch of chicken nuggets contains a foodborne virus that turns prepubescent youngsters into savages. A little girl is the first one to turn after she’s bullied by some boys in her class; Clint is happy she’s fighting back, but soon figures out that something is amiss. (Getting jumped by a ravenous boy in the break room is a helpful hint.)

He ends up teaming with his childhood crush (Pill), the wacky P.E. teacher (Wilson) and others to stay alive.

To differentiate them from, say, the undead creatures of The Walking Dead, the cooties-ridden kids are like normal children but with their primal playful nature amped to a terrifying degree.

“They’re attacking people and trying to tear them to shreds, but in this hyper-childlike, enthusiastic way,” says Wood, 34, who enjoyed watching the kid actors be as creepy as possible.

“It was fun just to see them take on the role of being monsters, which they all kind of understood. They were gleeful in

Wade (Rainn Wilson), a P.E. teacher, gets a workout running from ravenous, infected fourth-graders. the fact that they could put grotesque makeup on and run around and be evil.”

Wood, however, had to be convinced to get in front of the camera. He produced the film with his SpectreVision company, founded to support horror and sci-fi filmmakers, but didn’t want it to seem like a vanity project.

Last year’s A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, about a lonesome vampire, and the upcoming The Boy (in theaters Aug. 14), about a young serial killer, also fall under

the SpectreVision banner.

As a producer, Wood says he wants to champion American horror movies inspired by movies such as Rosemary’s Baby and The Exorcist “that were about more than simply the monsters.”

Wood says horror deserves to be taken seriously.

“It’s a funny genre in that it really polarizes people,” he adds.

“At its best, it can be artful, thought-provoking, unsettling, truly disturbing and something to connect with on a deep level.”

If you’ve gone to the movies this summer, you’ve probably seen Judy Greer.

The actress, who made a name for herself as the rom-com best friend (27 Dresses) and unhinged secretary (Archer) in dozens of films and TV shows, has roles in five movies this season, in addition to starring in FX’s Married (Thursdays, 10:30 p.m. ET/PT).

“I’ve more than accomplished that goal — I’ve been very lucky.”

ANT-MAN (now showing)

As the ex-wife of thief-turnedsuperhero Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), Greer pops in and out until the movie’s end, when AntMan and Yellowjacket (Corey Stoll) wreak havoc on her home.

Tasked with reacting to a supersized ant crawling down the stairs and a life-size Thomas the Tank Engine crashing through the roof, “some of the stuff was really there, like the train, so that

made it easier,” Greer says. “They did bring in a golden retriever to be the ant for a couple of scenes, which was pretty funny.”

JURASSIC WORLD

Despite appearing in a roughand-tumble dino bonanza, Greer’s character Karen never steps into harm’s way. In fact, after leaving her two sons in the care of her sister, park operations manager Claire (Bryce Dallas

Howard), she isn’t seen.

When she told her friends about the role, “everyone was like, ‘Cool, so do you get eaten by a dinosaur?’ And I’m like, ‘I can’t tell you!’ But people were like, ‘You do! You do!’ I couldn’t even really say no.”

In this upcoming dramatic comedy, Greer plays the much younger girlfriend of Lily Tomlin’s tart-tongued lesbian poet.

At 75, Tomlin smooches better than the rest of them. “It was awesome!” Greer says. “My favorite onscreen kiss that I’ve had so far, definitely.”

In a blink-or-you’ll-miss-it cameo, Greer plays the mom of a rebellious teen (Britt Robertson) who teams up with an inventor in Disney’s theme-park adaptation.

“They cut most of it,” Greer says.

But that didn’t stop her mom from driving an hour and a half to see it. “She was like, ‘Honey! You were great!’ And I was like, ‘Oh, Mom, I forgot to tell you they cut me out!’ Worst daughter ever!”

CLIFF ALEXANDER, BACK, PUTS UP A SHOT against New Orleans’ Victor Rudd in an NBA summer-league game July 13 in Las Vegas.

Alexander inks deal with Blazers

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Passed on 60 times during the 2015 NBA Draft, oneand-done Kansas University big man Cliff Alexander had to make the most of his opportunity in the NBA’s summer leagues to keep his professional dream alive.

Though the 6-foot-9 power forward didn’t dominate as a temporary member of the Brooklyn Nets, Alexander did enough to impress the Portland Trail Blazers, who signed the undrafted post player to a contract Friday afternoon.

Alexander was the first to announce the move, via Twitter: “God has still found ways to bless me through the struggle,” he wrote.

Projected by some to go late in the first round of the draft or early in the second, Alexander watched the made-for-TV event play out without hearing his name called. He later told NBA. com’s Scott Howard-Cooper the experience shook him.

“I was thinking I’m not good enough,” he said during his stint with the Nets.

“Can I play this level? Was it a mistake for me to leave college? I had a lot of doubts.

But I’m back confident now.

I’m good.”

The boost in morale, Alexander shared, arrived when Brooklyn gave him a chance to play on its summer league teams in Orlando and Las Vegas. Just getting back to basketball made all the difference for his psyche.

HIGHLY SOUGHT RECRUIT MICHAEL PORTER JR. SOARS FOR A DUNK during the KC Hardwood Classic on Friday at Shawnee Mission South High.

Overland Park — It’s impossible to miss Michael Porter Jr. at the Hardwood Classic youth AAU basketball tournament at Shawnee Mission South High.

College coaches line the sideline. Fans and players on the other teams fill the seats, all sides of the courts and jam the exits.

They all want to catch a glimpse of Porter, a 6-foot8 forward from Columbia, Missouri, and the No. 2-ranked player in the nation by Rivals.com in the Class of 2017. Porter scored a game-high 27 points in a win for his AAU team, MoKan Elite, on Thursday and dropped another 21 on Friday.

The attention is nothing new for a player who has already cut his list of potential schools to 17 and had a dunk last year that earned him the top spot on SportCenter’s Top 10 plays.

“It’s definitely grown every year as I get older — attention has grown,” Porter said. “I mean, that’s a good thing. But it’s also something that you have to learn how to handle. My parents … have both been through it, so they kind of keep me humble and just help me through the whole thing.”

At Thursday’s game, KU assistant coach Jerrance Howard was in attendance, along with assistants from Duke, Syracuse, Virginia, UCLA and Missouri. Friday’s game was seen by Please see RECRUIT, page 3C

Kazmir dazzles in Astros debut

Colin E. Braley/AP Photo

KANSAS CITY LEFT FIELDER PAULO ORLANDO IS UNABLE TO CATCH a short fly ball hit by Houston designated hitter Evan Gattis in the fourth inning of the Astros’ 4-0 victory on Friday in Kansas City, Missouri.

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Scott Kazmir made a strong first impression on his new teammates.

Kazmir pitched seven strong innings in his Houston debut, leading the Astros to a 4-0 win over the Kanas City Royals on Friday night.

The 31-year-old lefthander limited the Royals to three singles and only runner — Mike Moustakas in the fourth — past first base.

Kazmir (6-5), who lowered his ERA to 2.24, retired the final nine batters he faced.

“It’s nice to get the first one out of the way,” Kazmir said.

“When you have a defense like I had behind me especially what you see the first couple of innings, you have a lot of confidence out there. I just pitched to contact.”

Kazmir, acquired by the Astros from Oakland on Thursday for two minor leaguers, hasn’t lost a July start since July 10, 2010, going 7-0 in his past 14 starts.

Kazmir met his catcher Jason Castro for the first time just before batting practice.

“He’s going to be huge for us,” Castro said. “Obviously, the reason we went out and got him is exactly what he did tonight, to give us solid innings. We can’t expect him to throw a shutout every time, but that would be nice.”

Royals right-hander Jeremy Guthrie (7-6) gave up four runs and 11 hits, matching his season high, and two walks in seven innings. It was the eighth time this season and his third straight start Guthrie has allowed at least eight hits.

It was too much Kazmir for the Royals to overcome.

“He really handled us with fastballs and changeups,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “But changing speeds ... his fastball was 9395. His changeup was 74 to 80. A lot of variation there.

Really commanded the ball well, kept the ball down.

Busted us in when we started looking away and offspeeded us down and away when we were looking in.” l Box score on page 11C

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Sean Smith will miss the first three games of the regular season, including matchups against the Broncos’ Peyton Manning and Packers’ Aaron Rodgers, after he was suspended Friday for violating the NFL’s substance-abuse policy.

Smith, who was arrested last year on a drunken-driving charge, pleaded guilty earlier this year. The 28-year-old paid a fine and received two years of probation.

Smith will miss games against Houston, Denver and Green Bay before returning Week 4 against Cincinnati.

COMMENTARY

The U.S. Olympic Committee needs to cut its losses.

To have any chance of bringing the Summer Games back to America in 2024, it’s time to dump Boston as the candidate city and go with Los Angeles.

Granted, L.A. will be hardpressed to beat a field of appealing European cities.

But clearly, that’s the best hope of salvaging the badly wounded U.S. bid.

After the hoopla of its initial selection, Boston has been beset by organizational problems and growing public discontent over spending billions of dollars on a 21⁄2-week sporting event.

That’s not a slap at Boston.

The people who will actually be paying the massive bill need to be assured it’s worth it, and local organizers have done a very poor job making their case.

But the International Olympic Committee isn’t in the habit of picking cities that haven’t come up with a feasible plan for the main stadium and figure to have plenty of protesters hogging valuable media attention in the years leading up to games.

Time for the USOC to pull the ol’ switcheroo.

The deadline for cities to officially declare for the race is Sept. 15, but the IOC won’t make its choice for another two years. The USOC should get rid of Boston sooner than later, spend the next few weeks dealing with the inevitable embarrassment, then get fully behind a Los Angeles bid.

The USOC’s options became even more obvious Friday, when the governor of Massachusetts blew off a request that he actually say whether or not he supports the bid.

Gov. Charlie Baker has hired a consulting firm to analyze whether the Olympics are a good idea. He doesn’t intend to take a stand until he gets that report, which isn’t expected until next month.

“I appreciate the fact that the timing in all of this is frustrating,” Baker said at a news conference, before adding, “I wouldn’t be doing the taxpayers ... or the city of Boston or the Olympics or anybody else any favors if we made this decision with anything less than the full report.”

Even if the governor is persuaded to throw his support behind Boston, a referendum on the bid is planned next year. If it doesn’t receive majority support both in the city and across the state, organizers have said they will drop out of the race.

The choice is obvious: Boston out.

Los Angeles in.

BRITAIN’S CHRIS FROOME, LEFT, AND SPAIN’S Alejandro Valverde speed down Croix de Fer Pass during the 19th stage of the Tour de France on Friday, with a start in Saint-Jean-deMaurienne and a finish in La Toussuire, France.

Leader Froome, challenger clash at Tour La Toussuire, France — An angry Chris Froome accused Vincenzo Nibali of “unsportsmanlike” behavior after the defending Tour de France champion accelerated away when the race leader stopped with a stuck wheel on the toughest Alpine climb on Friday.

Nibali, who went on to win Stage 19, said Froome tore into him verbally at the finish.

“He was very angry, but that’s his problem,” the 2014 Tour winner said.

Froome said a stone or piece of asphalt jammed between his brake and rear wheel on the Col de la Croix de Fer climb, forcing him to pull up momentarily to unjam it. While Froome stopped, Nibali rode away.

Stopping short of saying Nibali should have waited for him, Froome said: “It was almost as if my mechanical (problem) provoked his attack.”

At the finish, Froome added, “I told him exactly what I thought of him.”

Nibali’s win on the exhausting Alpine stage rescued what has otherwise been a disappointing Tour for the Italian.

There were also fireworks in the race and another spectator incident appearing to involve Froome.

On the stage’s final climb to the La Toussuire ski station, Nairo Quintana launched his most sustained and telling attack against Froome, and this time got the better of the 2013 champion.

Froome’s reduced lead of 2 minutes, 38 seconds over Quintana, down from 3:10 at the start, should still be enough to get the British rider through the last competitive day in the Alps before the final stage to Paris on Sunday, which is largely ceremonial and won’t change the overall podium standings.

Greinke has a streak of 432⁄3 scoreless innings, and it hasn’t been determined when his next start will come.

The NL West leaders made the move before Friday night’s game against the Mets in New York. Greinke was originally scheduled to start the game before returning to Los Angeles on Thursday to be with wife Emily. She delivered son Bode Nicholas that night.

Greinke can remain on the paternity list for up to three days. In the meantime, the Dodgers called up right-hander Josh Ravin from TripleA Oklahoma City.

FSHS grad Spain relishes Shrine trip

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Former Free State High football standout Joel Spain will put on the pads for the last time in the Kansas Shrine Bowl, which starts at 7:05 p.m. today at Fort Hays State University.

Spain, who will play college baseball at Cowley County Community College, will suit up at cornerback for the East squad.

“Last time I’ll strap up the pads and definitely

Recruit CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

Kentucky coach John Calipari and Texas Tech coach Tubby Smith.

Porter announced Thursday that he plans to attend the upcoming Late Night in the Phog, and he keeps in regular contact with KU coach Bill Self and assistant Norm Roberts.

Fans of the Border War will keep close watch of his recruiting. His dad, Michael Sr., is an assistant coach for Missouri’s women’s basketball team.

His two older sisters, Bri and Cierra, both play for the Tigers. His aunt, Robin Pingeton, is the head coach of the MU women’s basketball team. His mother, Lisa, played basketball at the University of Iowa.

“It’s not really a factor,” Porter said. “I’m not pressured to go to Mizzou or not go to Kansas by my family, at least. But by people in town, of course I am. Living near Mizzou doesn’t really affect going to Kansas at all.”

Another player attracting a lot of attention is Trae Young, Porter’s MoKan Elite teammate.

The 6-foot-1 point guard, ranked No. 28 by Rivals, attended Late Night in the Phog last year and plans to watch again this year.

“I’m playing a year up, and I’m playing in the EYBL — playing on the biggest stage in America in high school basketball,” Young said. “I feel I’ve performed pretty well. So, I mean, I’ve think a lot of people have noticed. I know I have a lot to improve on and a lot to get better at.” l

Trent recalls KU offer: Gary Trent Jr., ranked No. 10 by Rivals in 2017, picked up a scholarship offer from KU on the same day he made the first cut for the 16U national team in May, representing the U.S. in Argentina and eventually earning a gold medal.

Trent, a 6-foot-4 guard, is from Apple Valley, Minnesota and played in high school with Tyus Jones, the former Duke point guard and No. 24 pick in this year’s NBA draft.

“It was a great day because I made the team, and then I got the offer from Kansas,” Trent said of the KU offer, adding it’s very early in his recruiting process. “It was great. I’m really enjoying it all and I’m glad they offered me, and I’m looking forward to moving on with them in the future.” l

Bamba talks KU: Mohamed Bamba, a 6-foot-11 stretch forward from Harlem, New York, ranked No. 4 in 2017, picked up a scholarship offer from Kansas in April, but his relationship with KU isn’t where he wants it to be.

“Great program,” said Bamba, who plays for the PSA Cardinals 16-andunder squad. “I know a little about them because Cheick (Diallo) goes there. But I don’t really have the relationship that I want yet with coach Self. But I have a feeling it’s going to get there.”

a good way to go out,” Spain said. “I just want to make the most of it and hope that we come out with a win.”

Spain traveled with his team to Hays last week to prepare for the game and visited one of the Shriners Hospitals for Children on Thursday.

“It was a great experience and really opened my eyes and, I know, some of the other players’ eyes about what we’re really playing for — and that’s the kids,” Spain said. “It

was awesome. Each one of them had their own special talent, if you will, and they showed us and shared their story. It was just amazing to see Spain these kids with so-called disabilities being able to do amazing things.”

Spain was a secondteam All-Sunflower

League selection last year for his play at cornerback, recording 37 tackles, four interceptions and six pass breakups. He also played wide receiver and caught 29 passes for 596 yards and five touchdowns.

He will be joined on the East squad by Wellsville grad Brett Osbern and coach Brad Burkdoll.

During two-a-day practices at camp this week, Spain bonded with his teammates.

“I didn’t know too many of the guys,” Spain said.

“But you get to room with them, and you go to twoa-days with them, and you eat with them and spend every day with them. So you get to share fun stories, and they’re all interested in the same sports you are, so it’s really easy to connect with some guys and make a good friend group.”

Spain said he’s excited to suit up for his last football game. His former teammate, Keith Loneker Jr., was selected as his team’s MVP at last year’s Shrine Bowl.

But after his visit to the Shriners Hospital, the game means even more to Spain.

“It really shows you that you’re raising money for the kids,” Spain said. “It’s a big thing for them. Everyone was really thankful to us and I mean, we’re just playing a game for them. It makes you want to go out there and play hard and then, obviously, you have some Shriners that you want you to win the game, so you have to win it for them.”

Lions propel Cagers to 2 more wins

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

The Kansas Cagers 15-and-under AAU team was fueled by incoming Lawrence High freshmen Trey Quartlebaum and Brett Chapple to two victories Friday in the Sunflower Showcase youth basketball tournament at Sports Pavilion Lawrence.

The Cagers coasted to a 67-20 victory over the Missouri Rain Makers to begin the day. Chapple was 6-for-6 from the field and collected 13 points, six rebounds and three steals.

“I felt pretty good because I just felt shots were going in, and we played as a team, so that’s all that really matters,” Chapple said.

While Chapple was a force inside for the Cagers, Quartlebaum got in going from the outside by nailing three of six attempts from behind the arc on his way to a teamhigh 15 points.

Quartlebaum was a

“I’m hoping to get by at some point, and if it’s not this trip, some time soon because I have so many fond memories, and I’ve heard so many good things about the facilities that are in place now,” Haase said.

Haase predicted the Showcase would greatly benefit Lawrence for years to come.

“The city looks great, and this facility is unbelievable,” Haase said.

“This kind of event does nothing but good things for Lawrence.”

Haase led UAB to a second-round upset of Iowa State in the 2015 NCAA Tournament, upending the No. 3-seeded Cyclones, 60-59. The NCAA Tourney win and a 20-16 season has led to more success in recruiting for Haase and the Blazers.

“One thing I talk a lot about is that it’s not about the team but about building a program,” Haase said. “After three years now, I really feel like the program has kind of my stamp on it, and recruiting has gone well since I’ve got the job. I feel like as a program that we’ve made a lot of progress.”

Haase would like to coach against his alma mater.

“I would love to play Kansas just in terms of getting back into the area and that kind of thing,” Haase said. “There is always that possibility moving forward and it could be really good.

Now I just need to see if I can twist somebody’s arm and see if they’ll come down to Birmingham sometime, too.”

One other coach with Sunflower State connections sat just a few seats away from Haase. Wichita State head coach Gregg Marshall was also in attendance.

WARRIOR HOOPS FORWARD MARK WEINHOLD — A SENIOR AT VERITAS CHRISTIAN SCHOOL — REACHES for a pass in the paint against Illinois Rise during the Sunflower Showcase on Friday at Sports Pavilion Lawrence. nuisance at the front of the Cagers’ three-quarter-court press, which helped force 26 Rain Makers turnovers.

“It was really effective,” said Quartlebaum of the Cagers’ backcourt pressure. “We found their weaknesses and forced

them left. Our backside defense helped us, too, if we got beat.”

Nebraska Select Sullivan turned the tables on the Cagers.

Nebraska Select Sullivan pressed full-court to open the game, for which Cagers guard and LHS sophomore Jacob Rajewski said his team wasn’t ready.

“We weren’t mentally prepared for the game,” Rajewski said. “Once we got into that mind-set, we broke the press easy, but we had to get into that mind-set first.”

The press gave the Cagers fits early, but they started to work the ball toward the middle of the floor to open the passing lanes and get into a rhythm offensively. The Cagers seized momentum late in the first half and never let up on the way to a 75-61 win.

Quartlebaum paced the Cagers again with 22 points after shooting 6-for-7 from the field and

9-for-17 from the freethrow line.

Chapple was aggressive again underneath on his way to scoring 20 points and pulling down five boards. The Cagers forward was 9-for-11 from the field.

The Cagers (3-1 in pool play) will take on the Iowa Fire at 12:45 p.m. today. If the Cagers win, they’ll play again at 5:45 p.m.

Weinhold enjoying home tournament Veritas Christian School senior Mark Weinhold will be the quarterback of the Eagles’ football team in the fall, but he is playing basketball with Warriors Hoops 17-and-under AAU team this summer.

Weinhold and the Warriors went 0-3 in pool play.

“This is awesome,” Weinhold said. “I’m so happy it’s here. I just wish we had more close ones like this.”

KU targets Wilkes, Reese back in action: Wyatt Wilkes, a 6-foot-8, 205-pound small forward from Winter Park, Florida, scored 16 and seven points, respectively, in SE Elite’s Florida 16-andunder’s two games Saturday.

Wilkes drained two early three-pointers in SE Elite Florida’s 72-68, but was forced to leave due to a shoulder injury late in the first half.

Wilkes said he did not think he would be able to play in his team’s night game against Team Illinois, but ice and medicine helped him overcome the pain and take the court.

“Advil is an amazing thing,” Wilkes said with a laugh after hitting four three-pointers in a 86-65 loss to Pumas.

Wilkes has not had recent contact with the KU coaching staff and has had more serious discussion with numerous Div. I schools in the Southeast region.

“Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Purdue, Virginia Tech. Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Georgia,” Wilkes said. “That’s just off the top of my head.”

SE Elite Alabama’s Alex Reese is the only other player on KU’s radar at the Sunflower Showcase.

Reese scored seven points in SE Elite Alabama’s losses to the New York Lightning and Wisconsin Academy.

Reese said he has been in recent contact with KU assistant Norm Roberts, but he has not seen or talked to him or any of the Jayhawks coaching staff at the Sunflower Showcase. The 6-9, 225-pound forward from Pelham, Alabama, had never been to Lawrence prior to Thursday, but he has enjoyed his time so far at the tournament.

“I like it. It’s nice,” Reese said. “It’s really nice out here.”

Trevor Plouffe went 3-for-4 with a homer and a double, and Torii Hunter and Brian Dozier also went deep for the Twins.

Rangers 4, Angels 2 Anaheim, Calif. — Josh Hamilton doubled, singled and scored two runs in his return to Angel Stadium, and Texas received seven-plus innings of four-hit ball from Colby Lewis.

Hamilton was booed whenever he stepped to the plate or touched the ball at the stadium where he played the previous two seasons after signing a five-year, $125 million free-agent deal with the Angels.

The former AL MVP was traded back to Texas three months ago following two dismal years in Orange County.

to Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Missouri, where our first son, Davis, was born. For almost 10 years, we lived in Alabama, where our second son, Owen, was born. We moved to Lawrence a little over 3 years ago.

What area do you live in now? What do you like most about it?

We live on the west side of Lawrence near Langston Hughes Elementary School. We love our neighbors, walking our kids to school and Lawrence’s small town atmosphere with big city amenities close-by.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy or sell a home?

Finding balance can be both challenging and gratifying.

My husband calls me the “human thermostat.” I’m always looking for balance – home, family, kids, job, work, play.

In Alabama, we had a mama-skunk move in under our air conditioning unit to have her babies. We had just learned of our transfer to Lawrence and were getting the house “show ready.” If we turned the A/C on, the house smelled like

investigation, averaged 6.2 points, 6.0 rebounds and 0.8 blocks, while only converting 38.9 percent of his shot attempts.

Alexander continued to struggle with his fieldgoal percentage (37.7%) in six Las Vegas games, but increased his other numbers: 8.5 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.5 blocks.

In a bit of a rebuilding mode after all-star power forward LaMarcus Aldridge left Portland this summer to join San Antonio, the Blazers needed another post player on which they could take a gamble. But reaching a deal doesn’t necessarily mean playing time for Alexander. Portland has six other front-court players currently under contract who are 6-9 or taller and have NBA experience: Chris Kaman, Mason Plumlee, Meyers Leonard, Maurice Harkless, Ed Davis and Al-Farouq Aminu.

Coach Terry Stotts figures to play each of them ahead of Alexander.

Terms of Alexander’s agreement with Portland have yet to be disclosed.

Alexander remains optimistic about the next phase of his basketball journey.

“I’m going to show people,” Alexander said.

“I just have to redeem myself. I’ve been here before. I’ve started from the bottom before. I’ve been the underdog before. I know what it takes to get back on top.”
