When the road calls, he answers Lucas Creamer brings vintage bikes to North Lawrence

LETTER FROM UGANDA

Seeking a path for the hero who saved her life

By Karen Dillon Twitter: @karensdillon

By Conrad Swanson

On Sept. 10, 2009, Mackenzie Jones, who had just graduated from college, was teaching elementary students in a village on the outskirts of Kampala, Uganda, when she first got wind there was trouble.

Jones saw dozens of Ugandans running through the village toward the church that was next door to the school. Another teacher told Jones that there were riots Henry breaking out in the city.

Not knowing what to do — Jones was working for a small nonprofit, alone and had only been in Africa a short time — she called 20-year-old Lubega Henry, a man who had been helping her at the school.

It is 9 feet tall and drawing curious stares at the corner of Ninth and Massachusetts streets downtown.

It is not the world’s tallest street performer, but Downtown Lawrence Inc. officials think it will grab the attention of visitors for years to come. Construc-

ly Zogry, executive director of Downtown Lawrence Inc. “A lot of people have said we’ve needed it for a long time.”

The kiosk will include a “you are here” type of map, which Zogry said should help aid visitors who aren’t familiar with the downtown area.

will get their businesses listed on the directory.

Businesses that aren’t members of Downtown Lawrence Inc. can purchase listing space from Downtown Lawrence Inc. for $175 a year.

The kiosk project has

been in the works since at least 2008, but has been slow to develop.

Zogry said the project ended up becoming a reality as several private businesses donated to the project. Lawrencebased First Management has donated all the construction materials and labor for the project, and Lawrence-based Treanor Architects donated the design work for the

ing Sneegas’ father wrench on older Harley Davidsons, Creamer developed a taste for antiquities.

“I like old stuff,” he said.

“Trucks, buildings, appliances, cycles, old video games. That’s just what I’m into.”

Knowing full well he wanted to work on motorcycles, Creamer took off to Orlando to learn the trade the day after his 21st birthday.

Graduating from the institute’s year-and-a-halflong Harley Davidson program, Creamer said, he moved to Denver to put his new skills to the test and work his way up the ladder.

“When you first get into the industry, you’re doing a lot of brand new bike set ups, getting them ready for customers to buy,” he said.

“You’re adjusting handlebars, routine services, tire changes, just simple stuff.”

Soon, Creamer said, he was offered a position as a flat-rate mechanic at another Denver dealership “I was paid per job,” he said. “That was really what got me excited about the career because you could make as much money as you wanted kind of. You have to learn how to go at a quick pace, but keep the quality high.”

But before long Denver grew old, Creamer said.

Slow and snowy winters always led to slow periods in the shops and it was time to move on.

Chasing better weather, Creamer moved from Colorado to work in deal-

erships in California and Texas, earning his PHD (Pro Harley Davidson) certification in Wisconsin along the way.

At one point, feeling a bit burned out in the garage, Creamer attended school in Portland, Ore., learning to work on wind turbines.

“I worked for G.E. down on the border of Mexico for a year to get a taste of something else,” he said.

“But being down in the middle of nowhere was enough, and I really missed working on bikes and fixing them and being in town.”

Ready to get back into the business, Creamer returned to Kansas in 2013, accepting a service manager position in Olathe’s Rawhide Harley Davidson dealership.

“I moved back to Lawrence because I was sick of moving around. I figured I had seen enough of the country,” he said. “I’m here to stay, to finish out my life here.”

Over the years, Creamer said, he kept busy buying and selling used parts and motorcycles. But after a season at Rawhide the notion came to him that perhaps his side business could become his full-time gig.

“I was buying and selling all that stuff while I was working at the dealership,” he said. “Specifically ’30s, ’40s and ’50s Harleys.

That’s really my interest, early Harleys.”

So last spring, Creamer bought an old paint shop in North Lawrence, and he

and Sneegas went to work.

“It was just a mess.

There was a ridiculous amount of paint everywhere, termite-infested shelving, all of it,” Sneegas said. “We gutted the whole place.”

Now Creamer’s shop, Lawrence Vintage Cycle, 912 N. 3rd St., is lined with items from a long-passed, but not forgotten, motorcycle era.

Gas tanks, leather and denim jackets, helmets, fenders and sissy bars line the walls. A newly erected mezzanine rests in the shop’s southeast corner, shelving various parts.

A 1939 Harley Davidson Knucklehead, Creamer’s daily driver, rests in the shop’s center.

“It’s called a Knucklehead because that’s what it looks like,” Creamer said, clenching his fist and holding it next to the motorcycle’s engine block.

For a period, Creamer’s shop was open by appointment only, but in early July he softly opened to the public.

Kyle Jones heard about Creamer’s shop through a friend of a friend and decided to check it out for himself.

“My bike was running a little funky, so I went in for an oil change,” he said. “I didn’t know what I needed done, but he shot me straight and got me on the road and it was running great after he worked on it.”

A few weeks later, Jones was gearing up for a ride out to Clinton Lake when

small generators or solar panels.

Sept. 10, 2009, had been an uneventful day until early evening when Jones saw the people running.

After Jones and Henry saw the TV news, they took the dirt road to the main road.

Once there, Jones couldn’t believe her eyes.

“It was complete chaos,” she said, with rioters setting fires and people trying to get home on foot because public transportation had been shut down. “I was definitely afraid.”

Henry was able to persuade a driver of a Boda Boda taxi to take them to the compound, but they had to pay extra because the rioters could become angry that he was helping them.

“It was very dangerous for him,” she said.

Rioters had set up burning roadblocks and at each of these they had to stop so their driver “didn’t get in trouble for taking us. We would stop, he would walk his bike around it, and we would walk around a different way.

“And then there were points where police were shooting in the air, and we would run and take cover.”

It took several hours to make it to the compound.

“With the walking, the riding, the running, things burning in the road and the police shooting, eventually we made our way to the hotel,” Jones said.

But even inside the compound, with a place to stay and food to eat, they could still hear the shooting.

The next day, it was calmer and Jones and Henry returned to the village. Jones finished her teaching fellowship and

returned to the United States that December.

Over the years she got married, got a master’s degree from Yale University and moved to Kansas, but she stayed in touch with Henry, which was made easier with social media.

Henry continued to look for work, and a flier on a pole offering work with the United Nations led to his capture by the rebel group March 23 Movement in neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo, Jones and Gibson said.

He and several other men applied for the jobs, met the recruiters and were escorted to the Congo border, where the recruiters suddenly pulled out guns, ordered them to strip and made them put on uniforms, Gibson said. They then trucked the men eight hours inland to the front lines of M23’s rebellion.

M23 rebels killed men who tried to escape and dragged their bodies into the camp as a warning to anyone who wanted to get away, Gibson said.

Eventually Henry did get away and made his way back to Kampala just a few months before Gibson and his wife, Joyce Gibson, moved to Africa last year.

Gibson said they are in the process of setting up an account at Central Bank of the Midwest in Lawrence to accept donations. Meanwhile people can send donations to his Paypal account, jayhawkprof@yahoo.com, or to his address at 1013 Holiday Drive, Lawrence KS. 66049.

didn’t see why I couldn’t have one.”

Following high school, Creamer’s twin brother was heading to Kansas University to enroll when Creamer pulled his mother aside and told her he had no intention of attending college.

“I told her I wasn’t going to KU. I was going to the Motorcycle Mechanic’s Institute in Orlando,” he said.

“I think she freaked out a bit, but she was supportive. And I went and had a great time.”

Creamer, 38, said his love affair with motorcycles began with Sneegas’ father, who restored old Harley Davidsons.

On sweltering summer days the childhood friends weren’t allowed to sit inside watching television, Sneegas said. Instead the two would steal away to his father’s garage.

“On a hot summer, like this, we discovered one of the cooler spots to be was the shop. It had one window and it was cool and dark and insulated,” he said. “We spent lots of time dorking around in there because it was full of motorcycles and parts and tools.”

“I always liked what was going on in that garage,” Creamer said. “I liked the smell of the shop and basically I just always wanted a motorcycle.”

he ran over a screw.

“I called him up and he had me come on by and had it fixed within an hour,” he said. “It’s something where if I had gone to a dealership, they would have made me buy a new tire, but he replaced the tube and did it right there while I waited. I’ve never been so amazed.”

Since opening Creamer said he can’t compete with the bigger dealerships, nor would he want to. Owning his own shop affords him both flexibility and the opportunity to act one on one with his customers.

Going forward Creamer said he’ll rely on wordof-mouth advertising to attract new and loyal customers, keeping his workload manageable.

“Big dealerships spend lots of money on ads and everybody knows where they are. But it’s just me here, and I can’t handle the traffic like they have at the dealerships,” he said. “But because it’s just me you get to talk to me and have service catered to you.”

Through all his travels, Creamer said, he never happened across a community quite like Lawrence, and he’s gladly home to stay and to focus on his new business.

In the coming years, and as his customer base grows, Creamer would like to add an employee or two to his shop. Until that happens, though, he can be found by himself in North Lawrence, surrounded by relics and wrenching on vintage motorcycles.

Planned Parenthood video scandal echoes in Topeka

By John Hanna

By Rochelle Valverde

Associated Press

Topeka — Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s push for an investigation into whether tissue from aborted fetuses is being sold commercially is the latest episode in a long history of moves against Planned Parenthood by Kansas abortion opponents.

Brownback last week called on Kansas’ medical board to launch a review after antiabortion activists COURTS released two secretly recorded videos of Planned Parenthood officials in other states discussing how fetal tissue is provided for research.

State and federal law ban for-profit sales, but both allow reimbursements to cover the cost of providing tissue legally donated by women who have ended their pregnancies.

Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri, which provides abortions at a clinic in the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park, says it doesn’t donate fetal tissue and hasn’t for years.

“This investigation follows the same pattern of state-sanctioned harassment,” said Laura McQuade, the group’s president and CEO. But Mary Kay Culp, executive director of the anti-abortion group Kansans for Life, said Planned Parenthood warrants the scrutiny because it is the Please see ABORTION, page 5A

eeping cool in the summer can be expensive. Using fans to increase air flow in any home can dramatically reduce energy costs throughout the year.

Step 1: Energy-efficient cooling starts with proper maintenance of the air-conditioning unit. Service the air conditioner at the beginning of each season.

Keep outdoor air units clean and free of debris.

If possible, shade the unit, but be sure not to

Install ceiling fans 7 to 9 feet above the ground, 10 to 12 inches below the ceiling and 18 inches from the wall. Larger blade fans move air effectively at slower speeds. Choose a large blade fan for office areas or places where excessive air flow might be problematic.

Step 3: If ceiling fans are not an option, use table fans or stand fans to create the same

effect. Position the fan so it moves air through the most occupied part of the room. Movement of the air around people and pets is the key to efficient cooling. Oscillating fans are great for larger rooms and rooms with more activity.

Step 4: Use window fans on milder days in place of air conditioning. Position the window fan to blow air out from inside the home. Open a corresponding window on the opposite side of the room or home to

create cross ventilation.

When operated properly, window fans can create a breeze in an otherwise stagnant setting by pulling air across the room and pushing it outdoors.

Step 5: Use a whole house fan to cool without using the air conditioning at all. Open windows and doors, then turn on the fan. The fan should pull air throughout the home; circulating the air in the home over 60 times in one day.

Step 6: Help keep any home cooler by installing

a solar power attic fan to help pull hot air out of the attic in the summer and to reduce moisture accumulation in the winter.

Step 7: Reduce the effects of radiant heat from the sun by shutting draperies and shades on the east side of the home in the morning and on the west side of the home in the afternoon.

I have a friend with whom I was once quite close. We exercised and ran errands together, and when she was seriously ill, I spent countless hours visiting, reading to her and just being there.

But after I was diagnosed with the same illness, she visited me only twice and now seems too busy to get together. That would be bad enough. But the real problem is that she texts me often to say how much she misses me or to ask for a favor, but apparently never wants to see me.

Kids’ TV goes hipster on ‘Bears’ Get ready for the pre-K hipster. Adapting the slacker dude comedy for a more youthful audience, the new cartoon “We Bare Bears” (5:30 p.m., Cartoon Network) features three doofus brothers who just happen to be urban bears.

Grizz (Eric Edelstein), Panda (Bobby Moynihan) and Ice Bear (Demetri Martin) do everything together, often behaving like clueless 20-somethings.

They go to the park, play pickup basketball (terribly), vie for Internet fame and try to retrieve their lost cellphone using dubious apps, finding trouble along the way.

Their “bearness” is apparent to everybody but the three bros.

While they seem terrifying to strangers, the bears could not be more harmless.

“We Bare Bears” unfolds with spare, minimal animation and music that sounds lifted from an old computer game or composed on a Casio keyboard recycled from the “Pac-Man” era. With its urban setting and slacker heroes, “We Bare Bears” may seem adult, but its gentle, mumblecore style lends itself to a TV-Y7 audience. Unlike many cartoons aimed at children, it avoids loud noises, frantic violence and frenetic energy. It’s oddly soothing with an understated whimsy.

Dear Annie: My granddaughter just hosted a birthday party for her year-old baby with 100 people in attendance. The child was lavished with beautiful, expensive gifts. When I asked my granddaughter if she had written thankyou notes for the lovely presents, she informed me that “this isn’t done for birthdays” and the subject was closed.

I am livid over this pompous act of entitlement by my usually kind and thoughtful grandchild. But this is a pattern I have seen with lots of children who were never taught

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, July 27: This year you exhibit your innate fondness for friends and loved ones. Financial growth is likely. Taking risks will become natural for you; however, if you become too impulsive, a problem could develop. If you are single, curb a tendency to be possessive.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) +++++ One-on-one relating is steaming up. You have many choices to make and many places to go. Tonight: To the gym.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ++++ You could be too tired to continue on a certain path.

I have come up with a solution that I can live with. I am having “Thank You” notes printed with my grandchildren’s names and handing them out at Christmas. — R.J. Dear R.J.: We hope this works for you, but we aren’t optimistic. Nonetheless, your granddaughter isn’t entirely wrong. Birthday gifts that are opened in front of the givers with appropriate verbal thanks offered at the time do not require a written thank-you note afterward. What we find tacky is the lavish birthday party for a year-old baby that includes 100 guests.

Wheat State Pizza closes doors; could reemerge downtown

W

e still have sunflower lapel pins and “Wizard of Oz” tattoos, but there is now one less way to show our Kansas pride. Lawrence’s Wheat State Pizza has closed its doors. The store closed on July 19.

Wheat State was a Kansas creation that used the state’s most famous crop — wheat — to create a unique pizza crust. The store opened about 11 years ago in The Malls Shopping Center at 23rd and Louisiana streets. Brad and Jennifer Remington took over the business in 2010.

Brad told me the intense competition in the Lawrence restaurant market caused the couple to look for other opportunities.

“There is obviously a lot of competition,” Brad Remington said. “It is not that anybody pushed us out. But we just aren’t really getting ahead in life doing this.”

Remington said the restaurant business is going through a cycle in Lawrence where more new restaurants are opening

through this place.” Remington said he suspects there are more changes coming in the Lawrence restaurant scene as some other existing firms reevaluate their position over the next year.

Lied. The performances offer students a unique educational opportunity, said Adina Morse, executive director of the Lawrence Schools Foundation.

“This certainly provides experiences that students wouldn’t necessarily get in their dayto-day at school,” Morse said.

As part of the program, study guides and teacher workshops are available to help educators incorporate the performances into their curriculum, said Anthea Scouffas, director of engagement and education at the Lied Center.

Scouffas said the performances, which are selected to match well with each age group, provide a way to integrate the arts with other subjects.

“The arts are such a great, rich way of experiencing a topic,” Scouffas said.

For the upcoming school year, kindergartners through secondgraders will see “Big Bad Wolf,” and third- through fifth-graders will see

In addition to the educational aspect, Morse said, exposing students to a wider variety of performing arts throughout their school years could introduce them to something they are passionate about.

“You just never know what that thing is that can excite a student, and it can change lives,” she said.

The two organizations hosted a fundraising event earlier this year that raised enough money to pay for the expansion of the schoolonly performances for four or five years, Morse said.

Farmers, K-State team to test new methods Wichita (ap) — Some Kansas growers are carrying out experiments that they helped design, evaluating questions such as how different varieties, seeding rates, nutrients and other variables actually work in their own fields.

About 20 farmers are involved the program, in a partnership with Kansas State University that began last season. Agricultural experts at the university help the farmers design test plots and research projects so the experiments yield usable data, not just simple observations or side-by-side trials that could be influenced by outside factors.

So far, the studies have conducted on soybeans, sorghum and corn.

“Kansas State doesn’t have the ability, the funding or the staff for all the research for the questions that we need to answer on a daily basis on our farms,” said Justin Knopf, a fifth-generation farmer who joined with others

in an experiment to determine the best seeding rate for their corn fields in central Kansas.

Knopf and some of his neighbors began working last season with Ignacio Ciampitti, a crop production specialist at Kansas State’s agronomy department. Ciampitti and others at the university help the farmers set up the project so their experiments yield “good data,” Knopf said.

“They help me with the experiment design and also help me with the data analysis, running statistics on the data to see if we actually have a repeatable response based on the factor that we are measuring,” Knopf said.

Kansas State is showcasing the program today, hosting a tour of several research plots for dryland corn at Saline County farms to give other producers and agronomists interested in doing such research a chance to learn about the program.

Kline filed 107 criminal charges against Planned Parenthood’s clinic, which is in Johnson County.

Among the charges were 23 felonies accusing it of performing illegal abortions and falsifying reports on individual abortions that had to be submitted to the state. Planned Parenthood denied wrongdoing, and a lengthy legal battle ensued that eventually stopped the case from ever going to trial.

Kline lost the Republican primary in August 2008 for a full four-year term as district attorney.

His successor, Republican Steve Howe, had all the charges dismissed by August 2012.

In October 2013, the state Supreme Court indefinitely suspended Kline’s Kansas law license due to allegations of misconduct pertaining to his abortion investigations. Kline described the punishment as politically motivated.

‘Defunding’ talk When the criminal case was still pending against Planned Parenthood’s clinic, some legislators cited it as a reason to prevent federal funds from flowing through the state to the organization to finance non-abortion services for patients, including medical exams and birth control. They succeeded in 2011, after Brownback took office.

The measure didn’t mention Planned Parenthood by name and directed the state health department to give the federal funds first to public health departments and hospitals. But the policy left the state with no funds for Planned Parenthood, and some lawmakers publicly said they intended to “defund” the organization.

Planned Parenthood filed a federal lawsuit, but the state ultimately prevailed.

Hub hubbub Delays in establishing a central transfer hub are hampering efforts to improve the city’s bus service.

L

awrence city commissioners have sent transit officials back to the drawing board on plans for a new transfer hub to serve the city’s T bus system, but without much clear direction about what they are looking for in an alternative plan.

It’s not clear where transit officials will go from here, but it’s time to get this issue settled so the city can move forward on redesigning T routes to make them more efficient and useful to Lawrence riders.

Commissioners last week rejected plans to locate the hub near 21st and Iowa Streets on property owned by the Kansas University Endowment Association. Transit leaders liked the site because of its central location and because Endowment was offering the land on a no-cost, long-term lease.

On the other side of the issue were some valid and some not-so-valid concerns. The impact on traffic flow at that intersection is a legitimate concern that should be addressed. Plans call for a traffic signal to be added at 21st and Iowa and perhaps some changes to limit eastbound access to 21st Street. The goal is to prevent heavy drive-through traffic on 21st Street, but residents of the area likely would experience some inconvenience.

The complaint that hub plans didn’t include restroom facilities could be easily addressed. Minimal facilities — restrooms, a shelter for passengers awaiting transfers and perhaps a couple of vending machines — should be part of any hub. However, the contention of some residents and commissioners that the hub needs to be more of a “destination” makes little sense. The average 3-minute wait for a transfer doesn’t give riders much time to shop or run errands, which they can do at any point on the bus route. They are at the hub to change buses, period.

A couple of commissioners continue to eye the intersection of Ninth and Iowa for the hub, but that appears impractical. The city had looked at property behind The Merc, but the owner apparently isn’t interested in selling. That prompted at least one commissioner to suggest the possibility of carving the transit hub out of Centennial Park, which is a terrible idea that would eliminate precious park space and make the remaining space less attractive for visitors.

Another commissioner also raised concerns about what would happen if local voters fail to renew a sales tax that supports the T and is set to sunset in 2018. What commissioners should be concerned about is the fact that every time they delay action on the transit hub, they delay route improvements that will make the T more attractive to local residents. If they want to preserve public support for the T, moving forward on the transit hub is essential.

Transit officials have been working on the hub for two years and have thoroughly examined the city’s options. If commissioners want to say “no” to the plan they’ve come up with, they need to offer some clear direction that will lead to a timely decision on a new transit hub.

Cuba event should include dissidents If Secretary of State John Kerry is serious when he claims that the Obama administration will keep pressing for democracy and human rights in Cuba, this is the least he should do: invite Cuban dissidents to the flagraising ceremony at the U.S. Embassy in Havana when he travels for the historic event there on Aug. 14.

It sounds like a trivial gesture, but it’s not. Cuba’s dictatorship — yes, even those of us who don’t oppose the reestablishment of U.S.-Cuban diplomatic ties must call it for what it is — refuses to have direct contact or even participate in events attended by peaceful oppositionists.

Anybody in Cuba who dares to organize with others to demand free elections or freedom of speech is considered a “U.S. mercenary” and is officially treated as a non-person.

When foreign embassies celebrate their national holidays and decide to invite dissidents, the Castro regime sends progovernment artists or statesalaried “intellectuals,” but no government officials.

For the Obama administration, inviting Cuban dissidents such as the Ladies in White or other well-known peaceful opponents to the Aug. 14 U.S. flag-raising at the embassy in Havana — scheduled to be attended by Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez — would be proof that it’s not bluffing when it

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

“

For the Obama administration, inviting Cuban dissidents … would be proof that it’s not bluffing when it says that it will maintain its commitment to democracy and human rights in Cuba.”

says that it will maintain its commitment to democracy and human rights in Cuba.

It would also be a way for Obama to correct the mistake he made in breaking a longstanding U.S. promise to peaceful opponents that Washington would not make a deal with the Cuban regime without consulting them. Cuba’s opposition was caught by surprise by Obama’s Dec. 17 announcement of the U.S.-Cuba normalization talks, and lost political clout internally by not being able to claim even a

minor role in their outcome.

In a telephone interview from Cuba, well-known Cuban dissident Guillermo Fariñas told me that, so far, neither he nor any fellow peaceful opponent he knows has been invited to the Aug. 14 ceremony. If Kerry invites dissidents, it would be the first time in his memory that the Cuban government and opponents would mingle in a social event, he said.

“It would be a step forward,” Fariñas told me. “The U.S. government would send a signal that despite the fact that they didn’t take into account the opinion of most oppositionists when they negotiated this, they still support Cuban democrats and democracy.”

He added, “and if Cuban officials don’t attend, the whole world will know which side is the intolerant side.”

Some Cuban dissidents have a bad feeling about the timing of Kerry’s trip because it coincides with a longscheduled Aug. 12-18 summit of Cuba’s internal opposition and Cuban exiles in Puerto Rico, which will be attended by most dissident leaders, including Fariñas. The U.S. State Department knew about the Puerto Rico meeting long ago because it helped the Cuban dissidents get U.S. visas to attend it, they say.

Could it be that Kerry timed his visit to Cuba so as not to coincide with Cuba’s

internal opposition leaders, and avoid an early confrontation with the Cuban regime that could spoil his diplomatic fiesta, some dissidents ask.

Asked whether Kerry will invite dissidents to the flagraising ceremony in Havana, a State Department spokeswoman emailed me that “we are working on the itinerary for the Secretary’s trip... and we have not yet determined the lists of invitees for the different possible events.”

My opinion: Not inviting the dissidents to the main ceremony would be a major mistake, and it would make a travesty of Obama’s stated commitment to continue pressing for fundamental freedoms in Cuba.

Obama has often said — rightly — that after five decades of a U.S. policy of confrontation that hasn’t worked, it’s time to try something new, and engage with the Cuban regime. But he has always added that the new engagement with Cuba “will include continued strong support for improved human rights conditions and democratic reforms.”

Well, the first part of his plan has already been carried out, and he has already engaged with the Cuban dictatorship. Now, it’s time to engage — or re-engage — with Cuba’s peaceful opposition.

Clinton setting her own campaign pace Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton appears to be making progress toward regaining control of her campaign after three months in which questions about the past have sometimes overshadowed her focus on the future.

But only success in next year’s primaries and caucuses can validate those efforts and ease underlying concerns about her candidacy.

In a broad-ranging economic speech, she countered positions of both Republican and Democratic rivals and outlined her own policies, following up with well-crafted proposals to increase productivity through profit-sharing and revamp capital gains laws to reward longer-term investments.

After promptly endorsing the deal curbing Iran’s nuclear program, she underscored her political primacy with sessions bolstering backing from Democratic members of Congress and a strong performance at the first all-candidate Iowa “cattle show.”

She thus signaled her determination to run her campaign on her own terms, always a challenge in a day of instant news and multiple outlets.

In a sense, she is taking a page from the campaign

“This is part of what she does, she grinds it out,” communications director Jennifer Palmieri told reporters at a breakfast sponsored by The Christian Science Monitor.

Her economic speech made short-term news by sharply criticizing three potential Republican rivals.

But her main goal was to present “the platform upon which future policy proposals will rest,” policy adviser Jake Sullivan told the Monitor breakfast.

She chided former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush for saying Americans should work longer hours, said Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker made his name “stomping on workers’ rights,” and called Florida

Sen. Marco Rubio’s tax plan “a sure budget-busting giveaway to the super-wealthy.”

Though she didn’t mention any Democratic rivals, she echoed Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ call for tougher policing of Wall Street and a higher minimum wage, though not his more sweeping proposals for a single-payer health system, breaking up the largest banks and tuition-free public colleges.

Like past front-runners, she has consistently avoided citing other candidates by name, reflecting her confidence she will be the Democratic nominee despite signs Sanders could pose a threat in the kickoff Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary.

When candidate debates start in October, she’ll presumably engage more directly with her Democratic rivals, who also include former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, former Virginia Sen. James Webb and former Rhode Island Sen. and Gov. Lincoln Chafee.

But she maintained her current approach in the first all-candidate event, the Iowa Democratic Party Hall of Fame Dinner, on July 17.

The Des Moines Register’s Jennifer Jacobs credited Clinton with “the most impressive speech,” but said Sanders

“generated big passion” despite a “clunkier” speech and cited O’Malley for “surprising some of the audience with his performance.”

Their comments provided a possible debate preview: Sanders called for a “political revolution,” and O’Malley matched his call for higher Social Security benefits and expanded government regulation, while Clinton combined populist rhetoric with more moderate proposals.

For now, Clinton can continue to set her own pace. But she faces continuing distractions, ranging from the latest Republican-generated congressional probe of her role in the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack to polls like three this week in swing states showing potential weaknesses in her public standing.

Meanwhile, she needs to avoid self-induced blunders like the moving rope line with which campaign aides curbed press access at a New Hampshire parade or an apparent directive to her Iowa demonstrators who told the Register they “weren’t allowed” to talk to reporters.

Ultimately, only electoral successes next year can temper those problems — or prove them irrelevant.

Missouri officials will be tried together over funds misuse Columbus, Mo. (ap) — A judge has ruled that Galena’s mayor and six other city officials accused of misusing public funds will be tried together.

Mayor Dale Oglesby, five city council members and a former council member were indicted in June by a grand jury after the council authorized paying $100,000

in city money to settle a private lawsuit against Oglesby’s business partner.

District Court Judge A.J. Wachter ruled the officials will not receive separate trials.

The grand jury was called after a petition campaign by citizens angered by plans

by Oglesby’s business partner to build a landfill in Galena.

Obama prizes Ethiopia in terror war President likely to seek steady push against al-Shabab Tonny Onyulo

Special for USA TODAY NAIROBI , KENYA

President Obama became the first sitting U.S. president to visit Ethiopia on Sunday, highlighting the East African country’s increasing value to combat Islamic extremism despite a poor human rights record.

“Obama’s visit means our

country is a safe place to invest and do trade,” said Dawit Betty, 25, a student in Ethiopia’s capital of Addis Ababa. “Ethiopia has been forgotten for so long. The coming of the U.S. president will bring a new beginning for this country.”

The country’s economic heft is growing, so Ethiopian leaders are eager to hear about Obama’s plans for trade, but discussions Monday are likely to focus on terror threats facing Africa. Obama is likely to urge Ethiopian leaders to keep pressure on al-Shabab, the al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group that has staged deadly at-

tacks in neighboring Kenya and Somalia, including one Sunday by a suicide bomber outside a hotel in the Somalian capital of Mogadishu that killed nine people.

“He is going now to Ethiopia because they need to act quickly on al-Shabab,” said Mario Aguilar, a political professor at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.

Though Obama probably won’t discuss human rights extensively, his presence calls attention to the government’s abuses, said Ethiopian civil rights activist Ellani Jembere, who hopes Obama will raise the issue privately during

talks with Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn. “I am very happy because Obama is coming at the right time when this nation needs him,” he said. “We need him to address electoral reforms and push the government to increase democratic space.”

Tuesday, Obama is slated to address the 54-member African Union at its headquarters in Addis Ababa about the fight against terrorism and the importance of creating greater economic opportunities for people, so they won’t be lured by terror groups. Ethiopian peacekeeping troops have clashed with al-Shabab in Soma-

Nurse practitioner ranks are rising Assistants step in for overtaxed doctors Laura Ungar and Meghan Hoyer USA TODAY

Nurse practitioners and physician assistants are a fast-growing force in medicine, getting paid more often for procedures people generally associate with doctors, such as electrocardiograms, pelvic exams and even helping with heart bypasses, a USA TODAY analysis of federal data finds.

Medicare billing records show 15% more nurse practitioners and 11% more physician assistants received payments in 2013 than in 2012 for all types of care.

During that same year, the number of general practice physicians paid by the insurance program for the elderly and disabled dropped by 5%.

Experts say this reflects the rising influence of non-physician caregivers in a medical market-

Western wildfires close off access to national landmarks No serious injuries, but areas evacuated Rick Hampson USA TODAY

Firefighters battled wildfires across the western USA Sunday.

No serious injuries were reported, but two of the fires limited access to a couple of landmarks — Palomar Observatory in Southern California and the Going-to-theSun Road in Glacier National Park in Montana.

A third wildfire, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada in Northern

California, had burned more than 2 square miles of drought-affected timber.

That fire, which broke out Saturday afternoon about 45 miles northeast of Sacramento, threatened hundreds of homes and forced evacuations in parts of the Nevada County foothill towns of Red Dog, Chalk Hill, You Bet and Cascade Shores.

At the other end of the state, a small wildfire that ate through dry timber in the Cleveland National Forest was 20% contained.

The 167-acre blaze, which broke out Friday, did not threaten structures but forced the closure of Palomar in north San Diego

County on Saturday. The observatory reopened Sunday.

Steve Flanders, spokesman for the observatory, said its parking area was used as a staging ground by fire authorities.

The observatory, which is operated by Cal Tech, includes the 200-inch Hale Telescope.

Firefighters made progress against a wildfire near the state’s Napa Valley wine country. Fire

officials ended all evacuation orders — residents had fled about 50 homes when the fire broke out Wednesday — and road closures.

The Napa-area blaze burned more than 10 square miles of drought-parched countryside near Lake Berryessa, about 45 miles east of the famed wine country.

Far to the northwest, in Glacier National Park, fire warnings were downgraded as weather improved and more firefighters arrived to battle a blaze about 6 miles east of Logan Pass along the west side of St. Mary Lake.

The fire closed 18 miles of the park’s storied Going-to-the-Sun Road.

Using tech to corral scary critters Alan Gomez USA TODAY

DAVIE , FLA . Even for a native Floridian, the 2015 Everglades Invasive Species Summit was a terrifying experience.

Researchers from various government agencies and universities presented their findings last week on plants and animals that didn’t originate in the Everglades but have established themselves there. Those invasive species pose a threat not just to the delicate ecology of the 1.5 million acres of Everglades National Park but increasingly pose a threat to humans as their populations flourish and spread.

Summarizing those menaces means picture after picture of massive Burmese pythons that have consumed deer, possums, dogs and bobcats. The researchers discuss Giant African Snails that can cause brain damage and liver failure in humans. They debate the best way to capture venomous lionfish from the Indian and Pacific Oceans that are now swarming local waterways.

The group casually talks about the reproductive rates of Nile monitor lizards and the impressive ability of Argentine tegu lizards to escape their traps. One researcher, visibly pregnant, opened her presentation saying: “In case you’re wondering, I did consume a deer recently.”

After settling in and acclimating myself to the nonchalant way they described things like “snake highways,” I realized there was hope. That’s coming in the form of new technologies that are making it a little easier to find and capture the creatures.

Much of the new research is focusing on the biggest, baddest invasive species of them all: the

Burmese python. The breed, which can approach 20 feet in length, was first spotted in the Everglades in the early 2000s.

Researchers assume it was released by or escaped from an exotic pet owner. The pythons quickly found a home in the marshy Everglades, began breeding and now number in the tens of thousands.

Until recently, biologists and trappers used rudimentary methods to capture them — traps placed near recent python sightings, volunteers monitoring the roads that wind through the Everglades. The state has even hosted an annual contest to encourage people to wade into the Everglades and capture as many as they can.

But now, Gintas Zavadzkas has begun surgically implanting the pythons with GPS tracking

devices to better understand their traveling habits. Zavadzkas, the ecological research coordinator for the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians that care for more than 200,000 acres of the Everglades, is also identifying different pheromones that attract pythons to improve the success of traps.

Michelle McEachern of the U.S. Geological Survey has been trying to use DNA sampling to identify exactly what the pythons are eating to better understand their eating habits.

The researchers have also started using a Web-based mapping technology developed at the University of Georgia to crowdsource the task of finding where those invasive species are living.

They held the first “Catch, Click and Submit Contest” in February that allowed anglers to upload data about the invasive

fish they snared in South Florida’s waterways. And now anybody can download a smartphone app called “IveGot1” to document whatever they find.

In some cases, the efforts are too little too late. Species like the Burmese python and speckled caiman have continued to spread. Lionfish have reproduced so quickly that they have been spotted as far up as North Carolina. But Gambian pouched rats haven’t been spotted in the Everglades since 2013 and chameleon removals have dropped from 250 in 2011 to seven last year.

And it’s those successes that could have the most far-reaching effects for the rest of the country.

Frank Mazzotti, part of a team at the University of Florida called the “Croc Docs,” said management officials can eliminate invasive species if they’re detected and caught early on. If those efforts fail, as they did with the Burmese pythons and lionfish, “eradication is no longer possible.”

But the new technologies presented at the summit give hope to wildlife managers around the country. With so many species to study in the Everglades, the region has become a testing ground for technological advances that can help control invasive populations.

“Maybe tegus aren’t popping up in their backyard, but if you look around the country, invasive species are causing problems everywhere,” Mazzotti said. “ What we learn to help solve invasive species here may help somebody in Iowa solve an invasive species in their backyard.”

For the sake of all you Northerners who’ve never stumbled upon a cranky green iguana, let’s hope it works.

More non-physicians assume doctor duties ‘The surgeon only has two hands,’ so assistants step in Laura Unger and Meghan Hoyer USA TODAY

You might expect a physician to interpret your electrocardiogram, perform a lumbar puncture on your back or do your pelvic and breast exam. But increasingly, the caregiver handling such tasks may not be a doctor.

A USA TODAY analysis of Medicare billing records reveals a huge jump from 2012 to 2013 in the numbers of nurse practitioners and physician assistants receiving payments for all sorts of care — at the same time as the number of general practice physicians paid by the government insurance program dropped.

Replacing chest tubes, interpreting EKGs and caring for trau-

ma patients with severe problems such as aortic aneurysms are typical duties for Kristen Guida, a night-shift NP at a trauma center in Hartford, Conn. Lumbar punctures of the lower back and cystoscopies to check the urinary tract are commonly handled by physician assistants, who assist doctors in complicated operations because “the surgeon only has two hands,” says Todd Pickard, director of physician assistant practice at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Though non-physician caregivers have handled such procedures for years, more of them are working in health care these days, and they are becoming more visible, as the Medicare data reveal.

“A lot of people misunderstand the roles of PAs and NPs,” Pickard says. “With PAs, it sounds like we fetch a prescription pad and get coffee for physicians, and that’s not what we do at all.”

The main driver behind the

Medicare billing increase is rapid growth in the sheer numbers of non-physicians. The ranks of NPs grew from 60,000 in 1999 to 171,000 in 2013; and the ranks of PAs grew from 83,466 in 2010 to 101,977 in 2015, according to their respective trade organizations. By contrast, a study conducted this year for the Association of American Medical Colleges says the doctor shortage is expected to reach 46,000-90,000 physicians by 2025.

As the number of non-physician caregivers has grown, the government has cracked down on incorrect, fraudulent or careless Medicare billing. Experts describe three acceptable ways to bill — under a provider’s own number, with a physician as a comanaged visit if they see a patient together, or under the physician’s name if the non-physician carries out a treatment plan put in place by the doctor.

NPs and PAs generally receive 85% of what doctors get for office

IN BRIEF MOURNING SHROUDS CITY AFTER THEATER SHOOTING

Mourning and mystery shrouded the southern Louisiana city of Lafayette on Sunday as authorities tried to determine why an Alabama man with a history of mental illness went on a shooting rampage in a movie theater, killing two patrons and himself.

Sunday services at some churches in the city of 120,000 focused on healing, three days after John Russell Houser stood up at a showing of the romantic comedy Trainwreck and began shooting. Nine people were wounded.

Houser, 59, fatally shot himself after officers arrived, police said.

Authorities had not determined why Houser, who lived much of his life in and around Columbus, Ga., chose a movie theater 500 miles away for his shooting spree.

“Our hearts search for answers,” said Michael Russo, pastor at Our Lady of Fatima Roman Catholic Church, in the morning service. Funerals for Houser’s victims — Mayci Breaux, 21, and Jillian Johnson, 33 — will be held Monday.

visits, and some say they’ve heard of doctors billing under their own names inappropriately to get bigger payments for a practice. Officials from the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services encourage providers to bill under their own names.

Having more non-physicians provide care should save taxpayers money, says Tay Kopanos, vice president for the American Association of Nurse Practitioners. Michael Powe, vice president for the American Academy of Physician Assistants, says, “Each time a PA is used for the same thing (a physician would do), it’s a cost savings to Medicare.”

Kopanos says the Medicare data inform a long-running debate with physicians about whether NPs should be able to practice more independently and perform high-level procedures on their own. NPs gained more independence in the run-up to the Affordable Care Act. Corrections & Clarifications

IRAQI FORCES CLAIM GAINS IN FIGHT FOR RAMADI

The Iraqi offensive aimed at retaking Ramadi appeared to gain traction Sunday as leaders claimed to take control of Anbar University on the southern edge

of the city controlled by the Islamic State.

The Iraqi offensive has been muted by efforts to minimize civilian casualties, but officials said the university fell to government troops after hours of fierce fighting.

Recently released FBI documents confirm a rumor that Sen. George McGovern fathered a child as a young man, before he was married in 1943.

It was a rumor that followed in the shadows of his political career and one that his 1972 presidential campaign braced itself to respond to if it became public.

Somehow, the material ended up with President Richard Nixon’s re-election campaign — possibly leaked by the FBI’s longtime director, J. Edgar Hoover — but it was never disclosed during the campaign.

Korean War adoptees seek GI fathers Group works to help people find ‘where they came from’

Erin Raftery @e_raftery USA TODAY

WASHINGTON In 1959, six years after the Korean War armistice, Estelle Cooke-Sampson came to the United States as a 6-year-old mixed-race adoptee.

She was one of tens of thousands of mixed-race babies who were ostracized in Korea and came to the U.S. after the war, given up by Korean mothers and the soldiers who fathered them.

Now, as the 62nd Korean War Armistice Day is celebrated Monday, Cooke-Sampson, a D.C. resident, is one of many Korean war babies still searching for answers about their parentage.

Estelle CookeSampson, a radiologist at Howard University Hospital, was a mixedrace Korean adoptee and is now seeking her birth father.

that has launched an effort to reunite Korean War babies with their American GI fathers. It has not reunited anyone yet.

Cooke-Sampson, who wants to find her birth father, took a trip to Korea in January with Minyoung Kim, executive director and founder of Me & Korea, to discover more about her past.

Like most Korean adoptees, Cooke-Sampson had only limited information to work with. She knew only that she did not endure harsh winters and therefore must be from South Korea.

Her memories at one orphanage where she lived in Korea came back strongly. “At one of the orphanages, I actually found a picture of myself. So I knew I had been there,” she said.

Cooke-Sampson said that her next step is to do a DNA test to help find the identity of her bio-

Mary Hiatt, a member of the board of directors at Me & Korea, said the organization is asking Korean War veterans who fathered a child in Korea to submit their DNA to a biological tracking ancestry service called 23andMe. Thomas Park Clement, CEO of Mectra Labs Inc. and a Korean adoptee, is providing $1 million for free DNA test kits that American Korean adoptees and war veterans can submit to 23andMe. Despite the obstacles, Hiatt maintains the importance of the reunification process. “I think everybody wants to know where they came from. And I think as adoptees we don’t have that,” said Hiatt. “Our beginning started on paper; we have nothing before that.”

Bush, Walker second, third in primary field David Jackson @djusatoday USA TODAY

Even after a week of attacks over his criticism of John McCain, Donald Trump continues to lead the Republican presidential field, a new CNN/ ORC poll says.

Trump, at 18% among Republican and GOP-leaning voters, leads Jeb Bush at 15% and Scott Walker with 10%, the survey says.

The many other Republican candidates are in single digits.

“Trump’s backing has climbed 6 points since a late-June poll, while support for Bush and Walker has not changed significantly,” CNN reports.

Two other NBC News-Marist polls also show Trump doing well in the early-contest states of Iowa and New Hampshire.

The billionaire leads in New Hampshire with 21%, followed by Bush at 14% and Walker at 12%.

Walker, the governor of Wisconsin, leads in neighboring Iowa with 19%, followed by Trump at 17% and Bush at 12%, according to the NBC-Marist survey.

According to NBC News, “the polls were conducted July 14-21 — so before and after Trump’s controversial comments belittling John McCain’s war record on July 18. And they suggest the comments didn’t affect Trump in Iowa (he was at 16% before the comments and 18% after), but they did hurt him in New Hampshire (26% before, 14% after).”

In an interview on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday, Trump said voters are simply tired of ineffectual politicians.

Despite his momentum, most Republicans do not see Trump winning the Republican nomination next year — 31% expect Bush to be the nominee, while 22% believe Trump will be. Another 14% predict a Walker nomination.

CNN reports that poll was done after Trump “earned rebukes from Republican leaders over his comments about Senator John McCain’s military service.”

President Obama inspects an honor guard Saturday at the State House in Nairobi, Kenya. People lined up in the streets to see Obama during his three-day visit to Kenya, his father’s homeland. He is the first sitting U.S. president to visit the nation.

OBAMA ADDRESSES HUMAN RIGHTS, ETHNIC DIVISIONS Praises Kenya’s progress, potential on final day of visit Tonny Onyulo

Special for USA TODAY NAIROBI , KENYA President Obama spoke out Sunday about corruption, ethnic divisions, terrorism and human rights in a rousing televised speech on his last day in Kenya, his father’s homeland.

Speaking to thousands at Kasarani National Stadium, Obama encouraged Kenyans to “choose the path to progress” by fighting corruption and terrorism and by treating women and girls as equal

citizens.

“Kenya has come so far in just my lifetime,” said Obama, the first sitting U.S. president to visit the African nation. “Kenya is at a crossroads, a moment filled with peril but enormous promise. Because of Kenya’s progress, because of your potential, you can build your future right here, right now.”

He called for an end to ethnic divisions and described corruption in the country as a “cancer.”

“Treating women and girls as second-class citizens is a bad tradition. It’s holding you back,” he added.

Some Kenyans said they were pleased that Obama addressed human rights, ethnic divisions and equality. But for many, just

seeing Obama was the main goal.

“Obama is our son and we love him dearly,” said Peninah Mwangi, a vegetable vendor in Nairobi.

“I want to make sure I see him today before he leaves.”

Agreeing with Obama, Erick Nyariyo, of Nairobi, said, “This government will soon become a dictator if some issues are not dealt with. The government needs to control every institution in the country.”

Obama warned ethnic and tribal divisions would lead to further cracks in Kenya’s unity. “Politics that’s based on only tribe and ethnicity is doomed to tear a country apart,” he said. “It is a failure — a failure of imagination.”

Obama, who left Sunday for Ethiopia after his three-day visit to Kenya, told Kenyans that while security measures must be strengthened, the war on terror must be approached while respecting the rule of law and human rights.

David Juma, 29, a businessman who owns a dairy farm, said: “I am inspired by Obama’s story. It does not matter where you were born. Anyone can move from scratch to becoming a great leader like him. His speech has changed my life forever.”

Senators defeat effort to repeal Obamacare Erin Kelly and Jayne O’Donnell USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Senators, meeting in a rare Sunday session, defeated another Republican attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act and approved reviving the Export-Import Bank as they scrambled to renew the federal Highway Trust Fund before it runs out of money Friday.

Forty-nine senators voted in favor of the Obamacare repeal, while 43 opposed the amendment, which needed 60 votes to overcome a Democrat-led fili-

buster threat.

Before the vote, Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., urged his colleagues to put partisan differences aside to keep the ACA in place.

The highway trust fund reimburses states for the cost of major road, bridge and mass-transit projects, which could come to an abrupt halt if Congress doesn’t act by the July 31 deadline. The Senate adjourned until Monday following the two votes.

The Senate and House have so far been at odds over the best way to keep the highway fund from going broke.

The House passed a bill earli-

er this month that would provide $8 billion to keep the trust fund solvent until Dec. 18. Ways and Means Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said he needs the extension to try to forge a deal on a six-year highway bill that would be funded with changes in the tax code for multinational corporations.

However, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said he doesn’t want to pass another short-term fix.

McConnell negotiated a bipartisan agreement with Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., and James Inhofe, R-Okla., that would authorize six years of

highway funding and pay for three years of that — about $47 billion — with money from general revenue.

Senators were lining up last week to offer controversial amendments to the bill that had nothing to do with highway funding. McConnell limited the unrelated amendments to just two — the attempt to repeal the ACA and the revival of the nowexpired Export-Import Bank.

The Senate approved the amendment to revive the bank by a 67-26 vote.

If the Senate passes its bill, it’s not clear if House leaders will take it up.

NEWS MONEY FEDS FINESPORTS FIAT CHRYSLER RECORD $105M LIFE AUTOS TRAVEL

USA TODAY - L awrence J ournal -W orld MONDAY, JULY 27, 2015

NHTSA has criticized automaker for its handling of 23 recalls Chris Woodyard USA TODAY

The nation’s vehicle safety agency has slapped Fiat Chrysler Automobiles with a record $105 million fine for shortcomings in reporting defects and in-

adequate recall procedures.

As part of its deal with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Fiat Chrysler will also be required to buy back some vehicles, offer incentives for owners to participate in recall repairs, and be subject to independent monitoring to ensure its safety program continues to meet minimum standards.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx on Sunday said Fiat Chrysler Automobiles had

acknowledged violations of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act’s requirements to repair vehicles with safety defects. Foxx said the company will submit to “rigorous federal oversight” in the agreement, which will leave room for fine to be reduced if Fiat Chrysler shows good faith in adhering to terms of the agreement.

The agreement represents the culmination of a campaign by NHTSA to call out Fiat Chrysler for its handling of 23 recalls in-

volving 11 million vehicles. The federal agency took the unusual step of holding a hearing on the issue earlier this month where officials complained about slow production rates of replacement parts needed for recalls; misinformation to owners about recalls; difficulty in obtaining service appointments at dealerships, and recall repairs that failed to adequate remedy defects.

“What you heard here is there’s a pattern that’s been going

on for some time, frankly,” NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind said at the time of the hearing.

The new federal oversight, spanning the next three years, includes hiring an independent monitor approved by NHTSA to assess, track and report the company’s recall performance. Rosekind said Fiat Chrysler’s pattern of poor performance “put millions of its customers, and the driving public, at risk.”

Tens of thousands of Verizon workers moved one step closer to a strike over their contract, which is set to expire this week.

On Saturday, the Communications Workers of America (CWA) said that 86% of Verizon workers voted to authorize a strike if they can’t come to terms with the telecommunications company over a new contract. Their current contract, which covers 39,000 workers, expires at midnight on Saturday. CWA officials have complained that Verizon is seeking to eliminate cost-ofliving raises and send call center jobs offshore even as it has paid out over $9.3 billion to shareholders in dividends and stock buybacks over the last six months.

POISED TO STRIKE AGAIN

FANG IS BACK

3 of this fearsome foursome have already thrilled investors

Jessica Guynn USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO Will FANG strike again?

Facebook shares rose nearly 2% to $96.95 on Friday as investors anticipated the release of the giant social network’s secondquarter financial results later this week.

Driving that anticipation: FANG, the acronym coined years ago by CNBC Mad Money host Jim Cramer. It stands for Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google.

And as Cramer puts it: FANG is back.

“We have loved FANG on Mad Money, and we don’t think these Internet stars are done shining,” he said on his show Thursday.

This fearsome foursome has

delivered some impressive returns for investors. Year-to-date, Facebook shares are up 24%, Google 19%, Amazon 71% and Netflix is up a whopping 124%.

Google, Amazon and Netflix have already reported secondquarter results that thrilled investors. So how will Facebook do on Wednesday?

Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expect Facebook to report an adjusted 47 cents a share, up 12% from the year-ago quarter. Revenue is likely to increase 36% to $3.98 billion. And, of the 50 analysts who cover Facebook, 17 rate the company a strong buy, with 28 rating it a buy.

Among the reasons why: Mobile advertising on the giant social network is surging, and analysts see great promise in the sale of video ads on Facebook as well as the growing popularity of

FANG, coined years ago by CNBC “Mad Money” host Jim Cramer, stands for Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google. its mobile apps Messenger, WhatsApp and Instagram.

And analysts don’t seem worried that Facebook reported a rare revenue miss in the first quarter. “Our thesis is that while people are uniformly positive on the company and its prospects, we think even short term the company will do better than people realize,” SunTrust Robinson Humphrey analyst Robert Peck

said in an interview.

When discussing first-quarter results, Facebook executives crowed that nearly three-quarters of its advertising revenue in the quarter came from ads on mobile devices. They noted video advertising is “exploding” with users watching more than 4 billion videos on its service every day, a direct challenge to YouTube.

They also talked up Facebook’s “family” of apps — Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp — all of which are soaring on mobile.

As much as Cramer is enthused about the four tech stocks, he’s uneasy about what their outperformance says for the broader market. Stocks tracked by the S&P 500 fell about 2% last week and have been flat to negative for the year. “FANG is not really a good sign because that’s not enough leadership,” he tweeted.

Mega mergers create huge uncertainty Health care industry would have just three top companies Jayne O’Donnell USA TODAY

MICHAEL NELSON, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

Anthem’s $54 billion deal to acquire rival Cigna is the latest example of a rapid consolidation in the health insurance industry that experts say could help slow the rise in health care costs as insurers get more negotiating leverage with doctors and hospitals.

But the deal also could boost companies’ health care costs for

Neither the Anthem nor Aetna deal is likely to be completed for at least a year.

their workers.

This is the second massive deal this month in health insurance following Aetna’s move to buy Humana for $37 billion. The two transactions would cut the health

insurance industry down to three top companies. United Healthcare is the third.

The dominant insurers would be able to raise premiums to employers, but they also could “squeeze payments to providers,” says Farzan Bharucha of Kurt Salmon. “Hospitals will feel a lot more pressure.”

Consolidation worries consumer advocates, who plan to “fully engage” regulators reviewing the latest deal, says Tam Ma, policy counsel at consumer coalition Health Access California.

Anthem, which runs Blue Cross and Blue Shield insurance plans in 14 states and Medicaid

managed care plans through the Amerigroup brand in 19 states, already has raised concerns with advocates.

Ma notes that California regulators found Anthem’s rate increases to be unreasonable, and says its provider directories are inaccurate and unreliable, making it difficult for consumers to find in-network doctors.

Whatever the impact, it won’t be immediate.

Neither the Aetna nor Anthem deal is expected to close for at least a year and perhaps late in 2016. That means they won’t affect insurance premiums or plan choices in 2015 or 2016.

TRAVEL

FOR FLIERS, STAYING RELIABLY CONNECTED DEPENDS ON THE AIRPORT Brendan Rys says he’s on the road all the time for work. He’s also on his mobile devices all the time, which is why he finds the inconsistencies of coverage at U.S. airports perplexing.

The Worcester, Mass., asset protection manager finds that his AT&T iPad works well at most airports. His T-Mobile phone works well, too, unless he is at Chicago O’Hare, where it barely works at all.

“Inability to get coverage is frustrating, coupled with the fact that more often than not the WiFi is unusable as well,” he says.

“So when you have neither, it’s impossible to get any work done.”

A new study by RootMetrics, an independent company that tests mobile carrier network performance, confirms Rys’ assessment of the state of cellular coverage at 50 of the busiest U.S. airports.

While the study says data performance from mobile networks improved in the first half of this year, the speed and reliability varied by airport and carrier.

For instance, Verizon generally offered faster speeds and more reliability than other networks at the five busiest airports, except for Denver International, where T-Mobile performed best.

RootMetrics evaluates mobile network performance at the busiest U.S. airports twice a year. A team tests off-the-shelf smartphones at various airport locations, including ticketing and baggage claim. The team captures download and upload speeds and performance during activities

Rounding out the top five were five much smaller airports: Cleveland-Hopkins International, Southwest Florida International, San Jose International and Dallas Love Field.

such as checking email and using apps. In addition to speed, testers rate reliability or whether passengers can connect to the network and remain connected.

“This is an area where you see people using their phones really, really often,” says Julie Dey, vice president of RootMetrics. “It’s a place where you’re waiting around for your flight, passing the time doing business. You want to make sure you’re connected.”

The airport with the best mobile network connectivity was Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International, the busiest airport

jor carriers have numerous towers along each side of the terminal and airfield. Since June 2014, Cleveland’s airport has had 7.4 million passengers, she says.

“Alongside this, we reduce congestion on carrier networks through our free Wi-Fi offering,” she says. “Passengers choosing to use our Internet connection … free up capacity and bandwidth for cellular connections.”

On the other end of the spectrum, Nashville International ranked at the very bottom in terms of mobile network performance. San Diego International,

Los Angeles International, Honolulu International and Philadelphia International joined Nashville in the bottom five.

Rebecca Bloomfield, senior public relations specialist at San Diego International, says the airport is installing a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) to improve network service within the terminals. That project is scheduled for completion in November.

Distributed Antenna Systems are used to improve coverage in large buildings by spacing out small antennas throughout to take care of troublesome pockets.

Los Angeles International, meanwhile, does not have a DAS that covers mobile devices in the terminals, says Nancy Castles, the airport’s public relations director.

“We’re aware of passenger complaints,” she says.

The airport has a request for proposal out for a provider of a DAS/cellular system. In the meantime, the airport has a contract with Boingo that makes high-speed Wi-Fi available for free. The infrastructure required by that new contract is set to be operational this fall.

RootMetrics also named Verizon as the top mobile carrier because it outperformed competitors at 29 of the 50 air-

‘Coffin corner’ is tricky John Cox

Special for USA TODAY

Q: What is the coffin corner?

— Submitted by reader J.T. Ryan, Las Vegas A: Coffin corner is a term used to describe a condition at high altitude when the maximum speed (limited by the spreading of supersonic shock waves) and the minimum (limited by amount of air passing over the wing) are nearly the same. This has caused cases where the airplane could not fly faster due to the high-speed limit or much slower due to the low-speed limit, making it difficult to control during turbulence or when descending.

One extreme example of the coffin corner is the U-2 — the difference between the famed spy plane’s high-speed limit vs. low-speed limits is quite narrow at the extreme altitudes of 60,000 feet or more. It is a very challenging airplane to fly because of the small acceptable airspeed window.

Most modern jetliners have good speed margins, making coffin-corner problems an issue of the past.

ports. T-Mobile was a close second, followed by AT&T and Sprint.

Bryan Shaw, a corporate business manager in San Jose, has a Verizon cellphone and AT&T iPad. He notices differences in the coverage he gets on each when at an airport. “Many times I have to put my iPad down and pick up my cellphone to read emails,” he says.

AT&T spokesman Fletcher Cook says the company has enhanced coverage at 34 airports with a DAS. Sprint spokeswoman Adrienne Norton says this week, the company went live with a new indoor wireless system at BaltimoreWashington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. Sprint has also recently upgraded service at Las Vegas McCarran International, Orlando International, Miami International and Washington Reagan National in Virginia.

T-Mobile spokesman Viet Nguyen says that in the time RootMetrics conducted its study, T-Mobile added LTE coverage for more than 30 million people. He says that surveys such as Root’s “are beginning to see the ever-improving results our customers see every day.”

One example of the coffin corner is the U-2 — the difference between the spy plane’s high-speed limit vs. low-speed limits is quite narrow at extreme altitudes.

Q: When approaching stall speed in a commercial airliner, can a pilot without engine power maintain level flight, thereby avoiding a wing from dipping down and increasing the chance of a sudden crash?

— Philip, St. Augustine, Fla. A: Stalls are not related to engine power. A stall occurs when the air flowing over the wing is no longer attached to the wing and producing lift. When a stall occurs, many planes will experience a wing dropping because it stalls slightly ahead of the other one. Pilots can regain wing level by using the roll flight controls (ailerons and flight spoilers) and, if needed, the rudder. The critical action is to lower the nose to recover from the stall (get air flowing over the wing), resulting in the symmetrical production of lift. A stall does not result in a sudden crash.

Travel industry getting better at getting help Dead batteries, ticket troubles don’t have to ruin your trip Christopher Elliott Special for USA TODAY

Christine Singler couldn’t wait for help.

She was flying from Windsor, Ontario, to Warsaw in a day, and feared Air Canada might turn her away at the airport.

The reason? Her name was misspelled on her ticket — “Singer” instead of “Singler.”

After hours on the phone with her travel agent, she’d been promised a correction, but the airline still listed her as “Singer.”

The clock was ticking.

These real-time crises are all too common in travel, especially now, when inexperienced tourists hit the road. We can’t all be travel experts. In fact, we shouldn’t have to be experts — the system should be fair and easy to use.

But it’s not. If Singler didn’t fix her name, she might have to pay for a new ticket or otherwise get left behind.

ON TRAVEL EVERY MONDAY

In an age of emails and straight-to-voicemail “help” numbers, getting real-time assistance seems harder than ever.

Travel companies are trying to fix that in ways you might not expect, from new apps to innovative services. Knowing where to get fast help may spell the difference between a memorable summer vacation and one you had sooner forget.

I helped Singler find the phone number of a manager at her travel agency, and followed up with the company to make sure she received the help she needed. The agency fixed her name, and she flew the next day without incident.

“My trip was amazing,” she says. “We went to a wedding and met a lot of family in Poland that I would have missed had I not made it on the plane.”

Having a good travel adviser is an excellent way of getting fast help, of course. But let’s face it, most Americans will drive, not fly, to their summer destinations.

Turns out there’s an app for that, too, as Aaron Myers, a management consultant from Falls Church, Va., recently found out.

The problem that led to his discovery: a dead battery on his

wife’s car. A friend had told him about a new app called Urgent.ly, which bills itself as Uber for roadside assistance.

“From the time I downloaded the app to the time that the tow truck jumped our car, it took just 10 minutes,” he remembers. “I

couldn’t believe how quick the service was.”

And the price was right — about two-thirds the rate of calling a regular tow truck, and less than an annual AAA membership, he says.

Sometimes, real-time help can

come from an unexpected place, like a random hotel’s Twitter account. That’s what Susan Liberatore, a sales manager from Toronto, discovered on a recent visit to Salt Lake City.

“Traveling to Salt Lake City bright + early tomorrow morning,” she tweeted. “Any absolute must sees?”

Hilton’s help account, called @HiltonSuggests, responded promptly, pointing her to the nearest Nordstrom department store and suggesting two “mustsee” activities in Utah’s capital.

“Both great recommendations, and delivered in a friendly — not computer-generated and vague — way,” Liberatore says.

Why would Hilton “suggest” anything, let alone to someone who isn’t a guest? Goodwill and a positive brand impression, two precious commodities in the travel industry. Hilton Suggests uses a platform called Lithium LSW Experts to funnel questions to one of its local concierges.

And with a friendly tip from a knowledgeable local, where do you think travelers like Liberatore will make their next hotel reservation?

Bobbi Kristina Brown is “finally at peace in the arms of God,” the Houston family told USA TODAY in a statement.

Death is nearly 6 months after found unresponsive Ann Oldenburg and Maria Puente USA TODAY

Bobbi Kristina Brown, the little-girl-lost daughter of the late, legendary Whitney Houston, died Sunday in an Atlanta-area hospice, nearly six months after she was found unconscious in her Georgia home. She was 22.

She never regained consciousness to explain what happened before she was found Jan. 31, face down and unresponsive in her bathtub.

“It is hard to say goodbye. On Sunday, July 26, Bobbi Kristina Brown made her transition peacefully,” said a statement posted to Whitney Houston’s Facebook page. “The family thanks everyone for their loving thoughts and prayers. As Bobbi Kristina would say: ‘The wind is behind me and the sun is in my face.’ ” “She is finally at peace in the arms of God,” the Houston family told USA TODAY in a statement.

“We want to again thank everyone for their tremendous amount

of love and support during these last few months.”

She has spent the last months in two Atlanta hospitals, a medical rehab facility and a hospice, much of the time in an induced coma and on life support.

Her Houston family relatives announced last month that her condition had continued to deteriorate and that she had been transferred to the hospice, a move usually reserved for end-oflife care for patients.

Her death, coming a little over three years after her mother’s eerily similar demise, marks a double tragedy, one of the most heartbreaking of the celebrity world.

Krissi, as she was known, was found by her live-in boyfriend, Nick Gordon, and their friend Max Lomas, face down and unconscious in her bathtub at her Roswell, Ga., home.

A A Roswell Police Department statement said Gordon “started CPR and a police officer took over lifesaving measures until an ambulance arrived.”

It is still not clear what happened to her or why. Police have been investigating the circumstances but have not announced their findings nor charged anyone with anything.

The conservator for Bobbi Kristina has filed a lawsuit against Gordon, accusing him of beating her up the day she was found, and stealing $11,000 from her account afterward.

Bobbi Kristina was “unresponsive” when discovered and remained so. She turned 22 on March 3, 2015, still unconscious.

She was first taken to the North Fulton Hospital in Atlanta and later was transferred to Emory University Hospital. She was placed in an induced coma and

kept on a ventilator as her family gathered at her bedside.

In March she was transferred to a nearby medical rehabilitation facility, but her condition remained unchanged, according to her grandmother, gospel great Cissy Houston. She said doctors told her Bobbi Kristina had suffered “global and irreversible brain damage” and that her condition remained unchanged despite intensive treatment.

Although much about what happened before she was found remains murky, it’s known that she was in a serious crash crash four days before. She was driving with a friend in Roswell, when her Jeep Liberty blew a tire and she lost control, causing her to cross into oncoming traffic and collide with another vehicle.

Bobbi Kristina’s tragedy came just short of three years after Whitney Houston’s tragedy. The 48-year-old former superstar was found dead in a hotel bathtub at the Beverly Hilton hotel on Feb. 11, 2012.

Authorities examining Houston’s death found a dozen prescription drug bottles in the hotel suite. They concluded that Houston accidentally drowned. Heart disease and cocaine use were listed as contributing factors.

Despite leading the newcomers, Pac-Man couldn’t devour the competition.

Video-game-inspired Pixels was nudged out by Ant-Man, which won the box office for a second weekend with $24.8 million, according to tracking firm Rentrak. Marvel’s latest superhero movie, starring Paul Rudd as the miniature vigilante, has now crawled to $106.1 million.

Coming in at No. 2, the Chris Columbus-directed Pixels netted $24 million, in line with expectations. The critically reviled sci-fi adventure stars Adam Sandler, Josh Gad and Peter Dinklage as a ragtag crew tasked with saving the world from aliens disguised as

Paul Rudd and Ant-Man continued to pile up dollars at the box office, despite the opening of sci-fi adventure Pixels. ’80s arcade-game characters.

With an estimated budget of $110 million, Pixels will “have to rely on that nostalgia factor” and hope for a strong international take, says Rentrak senior analyst

Rounding out the top five, boxing film Southpaw was a knockout with $16.5 million its first weekend.

Landing in sixth, coming-ofage drama Paper Towns brought in a disappointing $12.5 million.

Based on John Green’s youngadult novel, the teen romance comes in much lower than cancer tale The Fault In Our Stars, which opened to $48 million.

Expectations were overblown for this one. (But) it’s still a good idea to be in the John Green business.”

SUNFLOWER SHOWCASE

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Mario is still super I wish every freshman college basketball player considering leaping to the pros could have been in the Alvamar Country Club fireside room Sunday night to hear Mario Chalmers answer a question about what was a happier feeling, winning a national championship with Kansas University or an NBA title with the Miami Heat.

He answered that it was the NBA title, but in doing so illustrated how the roots of college basketball teams run so much deeper than any that could grow on a professional team.

“I don’t think I’ve ever told this to anyone before, but when we won the national title I was sad,” Chalmers said. “I was sad because I knew it was over.”

He knew that the team that had grown so much in three seasons together would never play again.

He talked about how much they had gone through, dealing with deaths of family members, how close they all had become, “like brothers,” and how difficult it was at that moment to face the truth. He never again would be able to jet downcourt on a fastbreak with Russell Robinson and Brandon Rush, Darnell Jackson and Sasha Kaun. He said he talks to Robinson, who was in the audience Sunday, and Rush, “almost every day.”

In the wake of the title, Chalmers figured he would return for his senior year, but without the men he called his brothers, it just wouldn’t be the same. It was one factor, Chalmers said, that led him to the decision to bypass his senior year and enter the NBA draft, where feedback had led him to believe he would get selected with one of the first 20 picks, a reasonable expectation for anybody who had watched Chalmers look so big-time in burying Texas with 30 points in the Big 12 conference tournament title game.

Chalmers lasted all the way until the 34th pick, a slight that gave birth to a huge chip on his shoulder that he brings onto the court with him for every game.

Way back in grade school, Mario’s mother, Almarie, revealed a guidance counselor had asked Mario what he thought he might want to do for a career. Mario said, “Play in the NBA,” which elicited another question: “What if the NBA is closed that year?”

The NBA is closed to many second-round picks, who don’t receive the guaranteed contracts that firstround picks do. Chalmers has earned $18,327,889-andcounting in salary. By the end of next season, that number will have grown to $22,627,889. That doesn’t count the priceless national-championship and NBA championship rings.

Chalmers makes Miami his home now and came to Kansas from Alaska.

Two OT win gives Cagers 3rd place

By Chris Duderstadt

cduderstadt@ljworld.com

The 6A state runner-up Lawrence High boys basketball team will have some key pieces to replace after going 23-2 last season, but LHS senior point guard Justin Roberts felt a little more at ease Sunday about the program’s future.

Roberts was on hand to watch the Kansas Cagers 15-and-under team — which includes LHS sophomores Jacob Rajewski and Jackson Hoy, and freshmen Noah Butler, Trey Quartlebaum and Brett Chapple — take third place in the gold division at the Sunflower Showcase AAU basketball tournament after a 72-67 double overtime victory over Pumas White.

“It’s great to watch them play,” Roberts said. “I know that we have a good class coming in, so I know our JV, freshmen and sophomore teams will be pretty stacked.

The future is bright for Lawrence High.”

Butler netted 21 points after making a living at the free-throw line, sinking 11of-14 from the charity stripe and shooting 5-of-12 from the field. The LHS freshman made back-to-back buckets to tie it up at 53-53 with five minutes left in regulation and then made a driving layup and two free throws in the two-minute double overtime period.

Butler did not play in the Cagers’ games on Thursday and Friday, as he suited up for Power Group Basketball in Overland Park. Butler enjoyed his time playing for Power Group Basketball, but being

KANSAS CITY’S YORDANO VENTURA OUTDUELED HOUSTON’S DALLAS KEUCHEL in Please see STORY, page 3C the Royals’s 5-1 win Sunday in Kansas City.

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — This was one nice day for Kansas City’s rotation.

The Royals traded for Johnny Cueto, and then used Yordano Ventura’s seven sharp innings to beat Dallas Keuchel and the Houston Astros 5-1 on Sunday.

“I wanted to see the old Ventura out there and we saw it,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “That’s good for us and bad for everybody else.”

Ventura (5-7) allowed one run and six hits in just his second win in his last seven starts. The right-hander, who won 14 games last year, was demoted to Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday and then recalled the next day after the Royals learned lefthander Jason Vargas would miss the rest of the year with an elbow injury.

“My confidence is a lot better after today,” Ventura said through a translator.

“I feel I pitched similar to last year. I was getting in a rhythm.”

The Royals announced during the game they had acquired Cueto from Cincinnati for minor league left-handers Brandon Finnegan, John Lamb and Cody Reed, drawing a big cheer at Kauffman Stadium.

Cueto was one of the top starters on the market. He won 20 games last season and is 7-6 with a 2.62 ERA in 19 starts this year.

“I’m excited about my next chapter,” Cueto said in Colorado, with Reds catcher Brayan Pena serving as his translator. “I know they play baseball very good. I’m excited because I know it’s going to be good for my career and good for the team.”

RACE WINNER CHRIS FROOME OF BRITAIN KISSES THE TROPHY as he stands on the podium at the end of the Tour de France Saturday in Paris. waving spectators. He still had to ride the laps to complete the full race distance of 3,354 kilometers (2,084 miles).

But knowing the title was his, he didn’t have to panic when a paper bag got stuck in his back wheel. He simply stopped and changed bikes. He also had time to raise a glass of Champagne in the saddle and stop to put on a raincoat under the iconic yellow jersey.

While sprinters dashed ahead for the stage win — snatched by Andre Greipel, his fourth and Germany’s sixth at this Tour — Froome and his teammates, wearing yellow stripes on their shorts and helmets, linked together for their slow-motion, chorus-line finish.

“This is your yellow jersey as much as it is mine,” Froome said.

Jason Day wins Canadian Open Oakville, Ontario (ap) — Jason Day birdied the final three holes to win the Canadian Open on Sunday, spoiling David Hearn’s bid to become the first Canadian winner in 61 years.

Day made a 20-foot putt on the par-5 18th for a 4-under 68 and a one-stroke victory over Bubba Watson. Day finished at 17-under 271 at Glen Abbey.

Day was coming off a fourthplace tie Monday in the British Open at St. Andrews. The 28-year-old Australian also fought through vertigo symptoms last month to tie for ninth in the U.S. Open. He has four PGA Tour victories, winning at Torrey Pines in February.

Watson birdied the final four holes for a 69.

Hearn, two strokes ahead of Day and Watson entering the round, had a 72 to finish third at 15 under.

Pat Fletcher, born in England, was the last Canadian winner, in 1954.

Paris (ap) — All for one, one for all, and all bathed in yellow.

Arms over each other’s shoulders, linked together in a long line of happiness, Tour de France winner Chris Froome and his teammates pedaled slowly over the finish line, soaking up the applause Sunday on the Champs-Elysees.

Three weeks of furious racing, of beating back both a tenacious Colombian, Nairo Quintana, and doping suspicions that are Lance Armstrong’s poisonous legacy to cycling, were over.

Time for the winner’s speech.

“The Maillot Jaune is special, very special,” Froome said, using the yellow jersey’s French name.

“I understand its history, good and bad,” he said. “I will always respect it.”

The Tour is still French. But British riders have won three of the last four: Bradley Wiggins in 2012 and now two for Froome, following his first win in 2013. That puts Britain equal with the United States, with three from Greg LeMond — and minus seven stripped from Armstrong.

Under suitably British weather, on rain-slickened roads, Froome took it easy on the last Stage 21, his work done having grimly resisted Quintana’s late assault on his hardwon Tour lead the previous day on the final Alpine ascent.

The tired 160 riders — of 198 who started — didn’t bother racing for much of the largely flat 110-kilometer (68-mile) ramble from Sevres, in the French capital’s southwest.

To minimize risk of crashes, Tour organizers stopped the clock early, on the first of 10 laps up and down the ChampsElysees’ cobblestones.

That locked in Froome’s lead to guarantee victory. He smiled broadly as he pedaled past flag-

TORONTO BLUE JAYS

Their powerful riding, chasing rivals in the mountains and protecting Froome on flats, was vital. So, too, was the meticulous planning of Dave Brailsford, the organizational brains at Froome’s Team Sky, which has far surpassed its goal in 2009 of nurturing Britain’s first Tour winner within five years.

In a repeat of 2013, Quintana was again runner-up. But the margin was much smaller this time: 1 minute, 12 seconds, the tightest win since 2008.

Third-placed Alejandro Valverde, Quintana’s Movistar teammate from Spain, made the podium for the first time, moving up from fourth last year.

For all the pre-Tour talk of a possible four-way battle between Froome, Quintana, 2014 champion Vincenzo Nibali and two-time winner Alberto

Contador, only the 25-year-old Colombian — who again won the Tour’s white jersey as best young rider — gave the yellow jersey a run for his 450,000 euros ($494,000) in prize money.

“He’s a great rival,” Quintana said. “He suffered a lot to win.”

With more experience and more smarts in the first week when he lost too much time, Quintana would have posed a bigger threat and perhaps come closer to becoming the first Colombian winner.

This Tour was mountainheavy, suiting Quintana’s climbing strengths. Future Tours could have more time trials, which Froome excels at. Their developing rivalry, with youth on Quintana’s side against the 30-year-old Froome, could help the sport win back fans disgusted by the systematic deceit of Armstrong’s era.

KYLE BUSCH (18) KISSES HIS WIFE SAMANTHA AS HIS SON BREXTON LOOKS ON as he celebrates winning the NASCAR Brickyard 400 Sunday in Indianapolis.

Busch comeback continues with Indy win Indianapolis — Kyle Busch’s incredible comeback rolled through Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where Busch won the Brickyard 400 on Sunday for a weekend sweep at the historic track.

Busch missed the first 11 races of the season with a broken right leg and broken left foot.

He returned in late May and has won three consecutive Sprint Cup Series races and four of the last five.

“This has been a phenomenal return,” Busch said. “I won’t say phenomenal year because it was a dismal year to start, but I guess I’ll take that 11-week vacation any year if it’s going to look like this.”

Now he has a prestigious Brickyard victory to give him one of NASCAR’s elusive crown jewels. His Indianapolis victory ranks alongside his Southern 500 win at Darlington Raceway as the biggest of his career.

“Maybe I found my happy place,” Busch said in victory lane when asked if he has found a new perspective since he was injured in a crash the day before the season-opening Daytona.

500.

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

Busch, who also won the second-tier Xfinity Series race Saturday at Indianapolis, moved 23 points away from cracking the top 30 in the standings. NASCAR granted him a waiver that will make him eligible for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship should he be ranked inside the top 30 in points.

“We’re a championship contending team, we just need to be championship eligible,” Busch said.

The win for Joe Gibbs Racing was the first Sprint Cup Series victory at Indianapolis for Toyota, which has now won at all 23 active tracks.

Chevrolet had entered the race on a 12-year winning streak and had won 16 of the 21 Brickyards. The manufacturer also won the Indianapolis 500 in May with Roger Penske driver Juan Pablo Montoya.

But Penske was denied his first Brickyard 400 win when Joey Logano finished second to Busch on Sunday in a Ford.

“Geez, I guess Kyle’s back,” Daytona 500 winner Logano said. “It’s just so frustrating running second at the Brickyard. Second hurts.”

American Dawson wins Senior Open Sunningdale, England (ap) — American Marco Dawson held off the twin challenge of super stars Bernhard Langer and Colin Montgomerie over the final nine holes to claim victory in a thrilling climax to the Senior British Open Championship on Sunday.

Dawson finished with a 16-under par total of 264 to claim his second title on the Senior Tour this year after more than 12 years without a victory.

“This is unbelievable,” said Florida-based Dawson, who played more than 400 events on the PGA Tour without a win.

“Can’t tell you how many hours I’ve put in on the range.

I’ve had two back surgeries to prove it and I know it has come later than most of the guys. But it came true.”

In a see-saw struggle, played out for the main part in intermittent rain and a fresh breeze, Dawson hit the front for the first time when he claimed his second eagle of the round at the long 14th, then sank a birdie putt from 25ft at the final hole to dash Langer’s hopes, the German being half that distance away with a chance to draw level.

The reigning champion holed his birdie putt to match Dawson’s closing 64, but it left him a shot shy of his sixth senior major.

“The three-wood I hit in the mist and rain at the 14th was probably one of the best I have ever hit and set up the eagle,” said Dawson.

“Marco played phenomenally,” said Langer. “Things went for him, he holed a bunker shot and had two eagles and leap-frogged both Monty and I. Then he made an amazing putt on 18 and I couldn’t tie him.”

Leading on ten under after completing the last nine holes of their third round in the morning, Montgomerie and Dawson and Langer, who was a stroke back, teed off in the afternoon for what turned out to be an epic contest.

All three parred the 15th, 16th and 17th, then when Dawson’s drive split the fairway at the final hole and he hit the green with his second and holed the putt, he clinched the title to add to his Tucson Open win back in March.

Royals get Cueto Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The Kansas City Royals acquired Johnny Cueto in a trade with Cincinnati on Sunday, sending three prospects to the Reds for a legitimate ace for the front of their beleaguered rotation.

Kansas City has the best record in the American League after it lost to San Francisco in Game 7 of the World Series last October. But Yordano Ventura has underperformed this year and Jason Vargas will miss the rest of the season after he injured his elbow last week — increasing the need for pitching help.

The Royals last won the title in 1985, and the trade was greeted with a loud ovation when it was announced during the third inning of Kansas City’s home game against Houston on Sunday afternoon.

Cueto, who is eligible for free agency after the season, had spent his entire career with Cincinnati. But the fourth-place Reds are looking to the future and could trade several more significant pieces before Friday’s non-waiver deadline, including right-hander Mike Leake and All-Star closer Aroldis Chapman.

CINCINNATI STARTING PITCHER JOHNNY CUETO WORKS AGAINST COLORADO Saturday in Denver. The Kansas City Royals acquired Cueto in a trade with the Reds Sunday, sending three prospects to the Reds for a legitimate ace for the front of their beleaguered rotation. the market. The Reds also are sending money to the Royals to help pay Cueto’s remaining salary for the year.

Finnegan and Lamb were assigned to TripleA Louisville, and Reed went to Double-A Pensacola.

Cueto, 29, won 20 games last season and is 7-6 with a 2.62 ERA in 19 starts this year. He pitched eight scoreless innings in Cincinnati’s 5-2 victory at Colorado on Saturday night.

The right-hander made his major league debut with Cincinnati in 2008 and is 92-63 with a 3.21 ERA in eight seasons.

The deal for Cueto is indicative of the new reality for Kansas City, which used to trade away its top players for prospects at the deadline. Not so much right now, and the Royals are trying to take full advantage of their window for contention.

Several top young players, such as first baseman Eric Hosmer and AllStar third baseman Mike Moustakas, are eligible for arbitration and becoming more expensive by the year.

The deal reunites Edinson Volquez and Cueto after the pitchers spent four years together in Cincinnati.

Cagers able to compete for the Kansas Cagers Saturday and Sunday had special meaning with getting to compete with some of his LHS teammates.

“I’ve known these guys for about four years now, and we’re starting to build chemistry,” Butler said of Lawrence High teammates. “When we get on the basketball court, we know what other’s tendencies are.”

Butler’s fellow LHS freshmen teammates came up big down the stretch as well. Quartlebaum hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with the Cagers down two with 1:34 to go in regulation. The Cagers point guard nearly sealed the game with a steal and two free throws to put them up three with 29.6 seconds left, but a banked 3-pointer by Pumas White’s Derrick Hyde with Quartlebaum’s hand in his face sent it to overtime.

After being one of the Cagers’ top scoring threats for the first three days of the tournament, Chapple struggled to get the ball in the bucket, going 0-4 from the field. The Cagers’ forward did not let his shooting woes frustrate him, as he pulled down a

Hearing that from her remains a big moment for Chalmers.

Of course, Chalmers also talked about a big moment of another sort involving a three-point shot closely guarded by Memphis guard Derrick Rose. He was the perfect guy to take that shot for a couple of reasons.

For one, he had the right mentality. I’ll never forget late, great Rick Majerus, my teacher of a class called, “Theory of Coaching,” at Marquette in 1981 saying that the guy you want talking the big shot is the one who’s not going to be devastated if he misses.

Chalmers has unshakable confidence.

Hearing Chalmers talk about his mother, it’s clear that she always has

and always will stand 10 feet tall in his life. But it was the long reach of his 6-foot-4 father, Ronnie, that prepared Mario for the biggest shot in Kansas basketball history. At the last instant, Chalmers had to put extra loft on the shot to ensure it didn’t get blocked.

“That comes from playing against my father,” Mario said. “He was always blocking my shots.”

He learned to do it close to the hoop as well, which led to his lethal tear-drop shot on which he scored so many points for Kansas.

Foursomes remain available for purchase for today’s golf tournament at Alvamar. Registration is at 11:30 a.m., tee time 1 p.m.

KANSAS CITY’S PAULO ORLANDO (16) LORENZO CAIN (6) AND ALEX RIOS (15) CELEBRATE their 5-1 win over the Astros Sunday in Kansas City, Missouri.

Lorenzo Cain added a two-out drive in the second for his 11th homer. He had two hits after going 3 for 21 in his previous five games.

“I told Dallas on the mound in the seventh, to get us into the seventh the way he did showed a lot of perseverance,” Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. “I think it’s easy when you get singled to death, so to speak, it’s easy to cave. And Dallas didn’t cave. He kept us in the game.”

Houston got its only run in the second. Evan Gattis led off with a triple and scored on Colby Rasmus’ single.

THE KANSAS CAGERS’ DALTON SPORING, RIGHT, AND NOAH BUTLER, CENTER, WORK TO STRIP the ball away from Pumas White’s Tyson Cathy Sunday at the Lawrence Sports Pavilion.

The Cagers prevailed in double overtime. team-high 13 rebounds and sank three free throws in double overtime.

“If shots aren’t falling, you just have to find a way to get involved with the game by either defense or rebounding,” Chapple said.

The Cagers posted a 6-2 record over the four-day tournament with their only losses coming to Pumas White in triple overtime on Thursday and to the Kansas All-Stars in Saturday’s semifinals.

“I feel good about the

Roberts making progress with rehab While Roberts enjoyed watching the young group of Lions compete for the Cagers, the senior point guard will still have to wait a while to personally get back on the court.

Roberts tore his ACL in April while playing for KC Run GMC’s 17-andunder team in an AAU tournament in New Orleans, but the rehabilitation process has been a smooth one thus far.

“It’s going really well,” Roberts said. “I’m about two and a half to three months in and I’ll start running and jumping in about three weeks.”

So when can the Lions expect to see Roberts running the show again at the point?

“I’ll probably be back

by December,” Roberts said.

16-and-under SE Elite Florida wins 17-and-under division The SE Elite Florida 16-and-under team did not betray any youth on its way to winning the 17-and-under platinum division of the Sunflower Showcase Sunday at Sports Pavilion Lawrence.

SE Elite Florida edged the SW Illinois Jets, 7064, in overtime as four players scored in double figures. 6-8 small forward Wyatt Wilkes, who has Kansas University on a long list of possible college landing spots, scored 15 points, all of which came in the second half.

Wilkes, who is currently unranked by Rivals in the Class of 2017, told the Journal-World on Friday that he has not been in recent contact with anyone on the Jayhawks’ coaching staff. The Winter Park, Florida native did take note that KU head coach Bill Self was court side for the championship game Sunday, but the two did not communicate at the showcase as NCAA rules prohibit college coaches from talking to AAU players or coaches during tournaments.

Wilkes listed Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Purdue, Virginia Tech, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Georgia as schools that he has been in regular discussion with, but has not completely ruled out Kansas.

in the All-Star Game, was tagged for a season-high 10 hits in 62⁄3 innings. He also allowed five runs, matching a season high.

The Royals got off to a fast start, scoring four times in the first inning.

Keuchel allowed a total of four first-inning runs in his first 20 starts of the year.

Kansas City opened with three straight singles to load the bases. After consecutive grounders led to a pair of forceouts at home, Omar Infante hit a two-run single and Cheslor Cuthbert doubled home two more runs.

Cuthbert has hit in all five of his games in the majors.

“I really didn’t feel like the bases were loaded, just based on some of the contact that was being made,” Keuchel said. “I felt like there were only a few hard hits all day.

That’s just the way it goes sometimes. You know as a ground-ball pitcher they’re going to find holes. I feel like they were finding every hole in the first inning, but it’s my job to kind of shore up some things and sure enough, I did. It’s one of those days I’d like to have the first inning back, but I battled.”

win because in the end, we had to come together as a team to win,” Quartlebaum said. “It wasn’t like one-on-one.”

The tandem of Quartlebaum and Butler showed some flashes of similarity to that of Roberts and Anthony Bonner on Sunday.

Quartlebaum dribbled the ball to the left wing and threw crisp pass to Butler. Butler went up to throw it down, but couldn’t as he was fouled.

“Self was there to see me today,” Wilkes said.

“Maybe he’ll call me. I have no idea.”

The pass-first shootsecond small forward believes that winning a tournament against an older age group can only benefit him and his AAU teammates.

KU target Reese nets 11 Alex Reese, a 6-9 forward from Pelham, Alabama, scored 11 points in SE Elite Alabama’s 85-59 loss to Pumas Sunday. Reese, who was in contact with KU assistant Norm Roberts prior to the tournament, is ranked No. 49 overall in the Class of 2016 by Rivals. Reese and SE Elite Alabama played in the 17-and-under elite division, which just featured showcase games and did not have tournament play.

Kansas makes offer The NY Lightning was one of the other four teams that joined SE Elite Alabama in the 17-andunder gold division. The Lightning were without two key players this weekend, both who have KU recruiting ties.

The Jayhawks gave an offer to 6-7 shooting guard Jordan Tucker, who confirmed the news Sunday via Twitter.

“Bless to receive an offer from Kansas University!!!! #jayhawksnation,”

tweeted Tucker, the No. 28 player overall by ESPN in the Class of 2017.

Tucker, pride of Archbishop Stepinac High School in White Plains, New York, competed for Team Loaded (North Carolina) in the Las Vegas Fab 48 tournament this weekend.

Tucker’s NY Lightning teammate Rodney Miller, a 6-11 245-pound center from Oak Hill Academy (Virginia), did not make the trip to Lawrence this weekend because of a hand injury.

Hawkins hyped about Showcase’s future While the first year of the Sunflower Showcase in Lawrence did not attract any players who have received offers from KU, former KU guard and Sports Pavilion Lawrence programs director Jeff Hawkins believes that the tournament has a lot of potential for growth as it develops in the AAU circuit.

“It’s nice to bring a good tournament into Lawrence that has highcaliber players,” Hawkins said. “It always gives an advantage to KU because the kids can view the campus, and not only can they view the campus, but the coaches don’t have to travel as much and they can get kind of a quick look in their back yard to kind of see the local talent.”

Baseball Hall of Fame adds four Cooperstown, N.Y. (ap) — The reason the three of them were among the most successful pitchers of their era was that they could deliver something that no one expected. So it was only fitting that they did it on the day they were enshrined.

John Smoltz wore a wig on his bald head, Randy Johnson spoke poignantly and the loquacious Pedro Martinez made the biggest splash by what he did, not by what he said.

Martinez, the last to speak during the Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony Sunday, concluded his

remarks by calling on Juan Marichal to help him hold up the flag of the Dominican Republic, their country.

“I think it was the greatest gift I could come up with,” said Martinez, the stellar pitcher for the Red Sox and other teams who became the first Hall of Famer from the Dominican since Marichal in 1983. Martinez said he came up with the idea about 6:30 a.m. yesterday. “I was having a hard time to catch the last hours of sleep.”

Astros great Craig Biggio was the fourth player honored during Sunday’s ceremony.

M’s turn triple play in win The Associated Press

American League Mariners 6, Blue Jays 5, 10 innings Seattle — Franklin Gutierrez homered with one out in the bottom of the 10th inning Sunday to give Seattle a victory over Toronto, a game the Mariners kept close with the aid of a triple play.

With Toronto leading 4-3, the Mariners turned a triple play in the fourth inning. Ezequiel Carrera drew a leadoff walk and moved to third on Kevin Pillar’s single. Ryan Goings bounced out to first and Pillar was hung up between first and second, and Carrera stuck between third and home.

Both runners ended up at third base and each was tagged out by catcher Mike Zunino.
