GOP blocks foster care audit for now

4SCHOOL RANKINGS

New report puts Kansas in 12th place W

e may not always know where the next check is coming from to fund it, but Kansas’ educational system is one of the better ones in the country — at least according to one new report.

The study is from WalletHub, a financial website that does a lot of data crunching to create “best of” lists. The new study found Kansas has the 12th best “school system” in America. The report primarily looked at K-12, public schools, and examined metrics such as dropout rates, math

and reading scores, SAT scores, studentto-teacher ratios and other such measures.

Kansas ranked just ahead of Iowa and just below Virginia. Kansas appeared to excel in a couple of categories in particular.

Kansas had the third best pupil-to-teacher ratio in the country, and was tied for fourth in the “safest schools” category.

That metric is based on data that tracks the number of students in ninth-12th grades who report being threatened or injured with a weapon on school property.

Topeka — On a party-line vote, the Kansas Legislative Post Audit Committee on Wednesday declined to order an audit of the Kansas foster care system, despite the recent deaths of children who were either in state custody or in troubled homes.

But the panel did agree to put the audit request on a waiting list, which means it could be authorized later this year or sometime after lawmakers reconvene in January for the 2016 session. Ward The decision came at a time when the Department of Children and Families, which manages the foster care program, is coming under increased public scrutiny because of the near-record number of children currently in the system and because of Trimmer continuing reports that the agency is preparing for major policy changes that could include barring gay and unwed couples from becoming foster parents.

The request for an audit of the program came from two south-central Kansas legislators, Reps. Jim Ward of Wichita and Ed Trimmer of Winfield, both Democrats.

Area teachers face tough choices after KPERS change

The incredible, edible eggplant

After 30 years of working as a teacher, Charlotte Anderson had reached the age eligible to retire and start taking benefits from the state pension plan she’s been paying into throughout her career. But SCHOOLS she didn’t think she could.

Anderson said retiring completely would have meant she’d receive approximately $15,000 less per year. That wasn’t practical, so like many state employees, she planned to spend the first several years of her retirement working.

“It’s difficult to save on a teacher’s salary.

CHEF SIMON BATES OF THE BURGER STAND AT THE CASBAH DELIVERS his eggplant and lamb meatloaf to the judges during the Chefs Challenge on Wednesday at the Douglas County Fair. Bates won the contest that also featured eggplant dished made by chefs Brad Brown of Bird Dog Bar at The Oread and Vaughn Good of Hank Charcuterie.

n eggplant meatloaf created by Burger Stand chef Simon Bates reigned supreme at the Douglas County Fair’s Chefs Challenge on Wednesday night.

Around 150 people attended the event and helped judge dishes made by three local chefs that each featured the too-often-overlooked eggplant and other locally sourced ingredients.

“Everybody loved the food, and with the kind of heat we’ve been having, it was great to have such a wonderful summer night,” said Helen Schnoes, Douglas County food systems coordinator.

Bates’ eggplant and lamb meatloaf with caponata ketchup, deviled tomatoes and potato salad with beets took home first prize.

Bates was followed by Brad Brown of the Oread Hotel’s Bird Dog Bar and Vaughn Good of Hank Charcuterie, Schnoes said.

Brown made a grilled Yukon Gold potato topped with arugula, chevre, charred tomato vinaigrette and eggplant caviar.

Good’s dish featured a smoked pork shoulder with eggplant and chevre, tomato relish, local black-eyed peas and a housemade ricotta cheese.

Court Clerk’s office to expand hours

Rainfall adds to above-average total

The office of the Douglas County District Court Clerk will extend its hours beginning next week in light of the “efficiencies created” by the recent mandatory use of electronic filing in the district court, the office said in a news release Wednesday.

Starting Monday, the court clerk’s office will be open from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Monday through Friday.

Previously, the court clerk’s office was only open until 4 p.m.

On Jan. 5, the Douglas County District Court began requiring all attorneys to use an electronic system to file new cases or documents in new and existing cases.

In November, Chief District Judge Robert Fairchild became the first in the state to order that all court documents be filed electronically, Douglas County District Court Clerk Douglas Hamilton said last year.

Douglas County first implemented the electronic court document filing system called eFlex

Lawrence saw nearly three-quarters of an inch of rain on Wednesday, said Audra Hennecke of the National Weather Service in Topeka.

Between midnight and 10:30 p.m. around .74 inches fell over the area, Hennecke said. So far this month the city has seen 8.41 inches of rain.

“The normal amount for this far through the month is 3.9 inches, so we’re 4.51 inches above normal for the month,” Hennecke said.

Although more than twice the normal amount of precipitation has hit the area this July, Hennecke said it’s still several inches away from setting any records.

Despite a recent abundance of rainfall, the rest of the week will likely be rain-free and less hot, Hennecke said.

“We’re looking to be mostly dry (today) and Friday,” she said. “And the temps look to be fairly seasonal at about 90 degrees and slightly less humid than it has been.”

ed her retirement in favor of continuing to work for the Lawrence school district for at least another year, but after that, her plans are uncertain.

“I based quite a few financial decisions on (the previous rules), so I really kind of got stuck,” said Anderson, who next year will work as the library media specialist at Lawrence High School, but said she is considering looking for a nonstate job or going to teach in a different state.

“I have to readjust and figure out what’s best for my family,” she said.

“It does affect a smaller segment of our teaching —10 cents, $4.96 community, but all of us are going to be there at See more stocks and some point,” she said.

‘Teachers are judged’ The new rules, however, don’t affect all state employees the same way.

There will be no earnings limit for certain professions — a list that includes local elected officials and legislative staff. Other professions with no earnings limit are state hospital nurses, emergency substitute teachers and law enforcement officers employed by the Law Enforcement Training Center. The working-afterretirement rules do not affect judges or the Kansas Police and Firemen’s Retirement System.

For Folsom, such differences in the application of the rules speak to a larger issue. What is considered fiscally responsible or financially savvy for other professions, Folsom said, is construed as somehow selfish when it’s a teacher.

“I think that there’s a lot of professions where people’s skills are valued and they are able to retire and then go back and work in that same profession,” Folsom said. “I think teachers are judged for it in a way that other professions aren’t.”

Looming choices For licensed school professionals who retired before April 1 of this year, there is what amounts to a two-year grace period.

Those workers are temporarily grandfathered in until July 1, 2017, after which the new rules apply, requiring those teachers and administrators to choose between taking benefits and working.

Joyce Tallman began receiving her KPERS benefit when she retired from the Baldwin City School District in 2008.

Tallman, who began working for the Lawrence School District that same year, said that once the two-year grace period is up, she has chosen to retire completely. Tallman said that if it hadn’t

Victim 3 arrested after police pursuit of alleged from Kansas City to Lawrence kidnapping speculates on motive

By Caitlin Doornbos

By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

The victim of an alleged kidnapping and beating in June revealed in court Wednesday that prior to the alleged abuse she and one of the female defendants in the case considered themselves “married,” and that the motive for the abuse may have been related to the custody of the victim’s child.

On June 19, Tabatha Jalayne Mallory, 25, of Lawrence, along with Christopher Cody Fast, 26, of Topeka, and Chelsea Rayne Adams, 23, of Edwardsville, were charged with aggravated kidnapping and aggravated battery in connection with the alleged three-day mental and physical abuse of their 22-yearold roommate, a mother of one.

Anthony Wayne Thomas, 29, of Lawrence, was originally only charged with aggravated assault in connection with the incident, but prosecutor C.J. Rieg changed the charge to aggravated kidnapping and tacked on additional charges of aggravated battery and two counts of child endangerment.

On Wednesday, a preliminary hearing was held in Douglas County District Court for Adams and Thomas. The victim

LAWRENCE POLICE APPREHEND A MALE SUSPECT in the 500 block of Florida Street after a car chase from Kansas City, Kan., to Lawrence on Wednesday.

A FEMALE SUSPECT IS LED AWAY BY POLICE near the intersection of Sixth and Michigan streets.

ANOTHER MALE SUSPECT, WHO WAS SUBDUED BY POLICE using a Taser, is arrested Tuesday. See a video from Please see VICTIM, page 5A the scene with this story at LJWorld.com.

Three people are in custody after leading multiple Kansas law enforcement agencies on a high-speed vehicle chase from Kansas City, Kan., to Lawrence on Wednesday.

The pursuit began when the Kansas Highway Patrol attempted to stop an aggravated burglary suspect in an allegedly stolen black Toyota SUV near 57th Street and Kansas Avenue in Kansas City, KHP Trooper Tiffany Bush said.

The vehicle did not stop, and continued west onto U.S. Highway 24. The KHP followed the vehicle to Tonganoxie, but lost sight of it and the Tonganoxie Police Department took over the pursuit, McKinley said.

Around 4:15 p.m., the KHP notified Lawrence police that the SUV was heading its way, McKinley said. The suspects came into North Lawrence on U.S. 24, continuing on to North Third Street, but Lawrence police had laid spike strips down at the intersection of Sixth and Vermont streets.

The vehicle’s tires were punctured when the suspect drove over the spike strips, and it collided with another vehicle in the area, McKinley said. No one was believed to be injured in that crash.

Lawrence ranks No. 5 on Forbes’ small cities list ———

Report calls city’s labor force among most educated in U.S.

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn

Lawrence has landed on a prestigious list of best small communities for businesses and careers.

Forbes magazine on Wednesday ranked Lawrence No. 5 on its 2015 list of Best Small Cities for Business and Careers. The magazine noted Lawrence’s highly educated workforce was a factor in the city being named to the list. The magazine called it “one of the most educated labor forces in the U.S.” with 50 percent of adults holding a college degree and 95 percent holding a high school diploma. The college degree ranking was third best among small metro areas, and the high school diploma percentage was second best in the country.

The study examined 201 metro areas with populations below 260,500. Forbes looked at statistics related to crime, past and projected job growth,

Third Annual

cost of living, income growth, quality of life, education and several other factors.

Lawrence was the only city in the region to make the top 5. The Village, Fla., took the top spot, while Lafayette, Ind., ranked No. 2, Sioux Falls, S.D., No. 3, and Bend, Ore., No. 4.

In Kansas, Manhattan ranked No. 29 and Topeka ranked No. 125.

Lawrence Chamber of commerce CEO Larry McElwain said it was great for Lawrence to be recognized

by Forbes.

With Kansas, Baker and Haskell universities, Douglas County obviously is rich with higher education graduates, but the Forbes ranking and stats about the local workforce are a reminder that other types of education are of great value, too, McElwain said.

He said the soonto-open Peaslee Tech and Lawrence College and Career Center are steps to embrace that even more.

Facebook drama? Maybe you should grow up Dear Annie: Yesterday, I had an argument with my 85-year-old mother. She said I must be a lesbian because of my recent Facebook posts in support of all my gay friends and the Supreme Court decision upholding gay marriage.

Specifically, I changed my photo so it was colored in beautiful rainbow shades.

My mother was appalled that I was supporting “those people” and demanded that I change my picture. She said she was embarrassed and claimed that all of her friends were calling her to ask whether I was gay. This was a lie and she admitted it.

Then she said she does not support gay people and I should support them in more private ways. I told her I am 50 years old, not 10, and these are my choices. If

Annie’s Mailbox

she doesn’t like it, she doesn’t have to look at my Facebook page.

I have never felt comfortable having my mother as a friend on Facebook. I want to un-friend her, but I’d feel guilty. She has always been this way, and frankly, I’m fed up. She has other friends and family on Facebook, so it’s not as though she’ll be out of the loop. What do you say? — New York Dear New York:

The truck driver who fell to earth The “30 for 30” (7 p.m., ESPN) documentary “Angry Sky: The Legend of Nick Piantanida” recalls an American original. During the height of the space race, Piantanida, a truck driver from New Jersey, had a dream to ride a balloon into space and free fall back to Earth for 17 minutes before parachuting to safety. With his wife behind him, he devoted his life and their savings to his impossible dream.

Years before Evel Knievel turned his death-defying routine into a star-spangled media sideshow and a small fortune, Piantanida prepared for the plunge of a lifetime by creating his own one-man space program. Directed by Jeff Tremaine (“Jackass”), “Sky” was inspired by Craig Ryan’s book “Magnificent Failure.”

Bill Simmons, the ESPN personality and sports columnist behind the “30 for 30” series, recently moved to HBO, where he will host a talk show covering sports and its intersection with popular culture. In the past few weeks, ESPN has also parted ways with its marquee personalities Keith Olbermann and Colin Cowherd.

The first kickoff of the NFL season may be some weeks away, but TV is already making way for preseason action and anticipation. Fans can catch up on news, interviews and prognostication on “Training Camp Primetime” (7 p.m., NFL Network), covering every team’s preseason drills.

NBC will carry the annual preseason Hall of Fame Game on Aug. 9, the first “Sunday Night Football” game of the year. The Pittsburgh Steelers will face the Minnesota Vikings in the summer heat of Canton, Ohio.

Two nights later, HBO’s documentary series “Hard Knocks” begins its coverage of one team’s training camp. This season, the Houston Texans will be under the media microscope.

Tonight’s other highlights

Marilyn hides her pregnancy on “The Astronaut Wives Club” (7 p.m., ABC).

“Mysteries at the Monument” (8 p.m., Travel) visits Ellis Island.

An abandoned bookstore becomes a crypt for a murdered teacher on “Bones” (8 p.m., Fox).

Blair’s less-than-cuddly side emerges on “Mistresses” (8 p.m., ABC).

A successful defense lawyer gets a little too familiar with his clients’ lifestyle on the reenactment drama “Untouchable” (8 p.m., ID). Think of it as a nonfiction (and non-comedy) version of “Better Call Saul.”

During a meteor shower, things feel safer “Under the Dome” (9 p.m., CBS).

There are kinder ways to deal with this rather than un-friending your 85-year-old mother. You can arrange your privacy settings on Facebook to limit what she sees and what she can post on your page. But truly, you are 50 years old and should know how to deal with your bigoted mother by now.

Dear Annie: I’d like to respond to “Not Buying Narcolepsy,” who complained that her husband sleeps constantly.

Many people associate narcolepsy with the way it appears on TV sitcoms, where people fall asleep midsentence. But the most common form of narcolepsy is excessive daytime sleepiness.

A year ago, I could not sit down without falling asleep. I woke up sleepy and probably could have slept 12 hours a day and still manage to

testified that between June 14 and June 16, Mallory, Adams and Fast beat her with fists, a spoon, a dog toy, metal pliers and a toy piano.

The victim said that Fast and Adams were dating and visiting Adams’ sister, Mallory, and Mallory’s fiancé, Thomas, during the nearly three days of abuse. The victim also said that she and Mallory had a romantic relationship and considered each other “wives” until Mallory broke up with or “divorced” her in early June.

The victim said that Mallory and Thomas wanted to adopt her 3-year-old son, which she speculated could have been a motive for the abuse. Part of the abuse, she said, involved the four forcing her to make

East Ninth Project officials announced the finalists for two of the project’s commissioned work opportunities during Wednesday evening’s Citizen Advisory Committee meeting at City Hall.

Katherine Simmons, representing the Lawrence Cultural Arts Commission, shared the news along with images of each candidate’s work via a projector.

The project’s call for artists attracted plenty of local interest as well as applicants from as far away as New York City and Tuscon, Ariz., she said.

The two project categories each have six finalists, and they will now advance to the interview portion, slated for 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday at City Hall. A final decision should be reached the same day, said Porter Arneill, the city’s director of arts and culture.

The victim said that Mallory told her that they would stop beating her if she agreed to “sign adoption papers” allowing Mallory and Thomas to adopt her son.

The victim eventually left the home on the night of June 16 without her child. She said she had previously signed over “temporary custody” of her child to Thomas and Mallory before a notary, so she didn’t think she was allowed to take her child.

The East Ninth Artists category, which will ultimately choose up to four artists, drew eight applications. All East Ninth Artists finalists work and/ or live in Lawrence. They are: Meredith Moore, owner of Wonder Fair; Rachael Perry, artist and facilitator of Lawrence Inside Out; artist, designer and filmmaker John Sebelius; musician and social activist Zia; May Tveit, Kansas University associate professor of design; and Nick Carswell, Irish-born, Lawrencebased musician of the band Carswell and Hope.

The second category, Integrated Artists, will select up to three artists.

Its finalists are: Steven Johnson, of Lawrence, Christopher Janney, of

Boston; Jarret Mellenbruch of Kansas City; Derek Porter, of Kansas City, James Woodfill, of Kansas City; and Sheila Klein of Bow, Wash.

The third commissioned opportunity, called Try it Out, drew only two applicants out of the desired six and has been put on hold for now.

A little more than half of the 24 artists who applied to the project’s three commissioned opportunities reside within the Kansas City area.

Also during Wednesday’s meeting, Citizen Advisory Committee members approved an amendment by City Leslie Soden to the East Ninth Project’s work plan that rejects any potential plans to turn Ninth Street into an “entertainment district.” The issue is scheduled be discussed at next week’s City Commission meeting.

Though its tires were deflating, the vehicle did not stop after the collision, instead turning on to Sixth Street and continuing west as police followed behind. McKinley said that the SUV was “traveling left of center into direct traffic,” causing a public safety concern.

The tire deflation eventually made the vehicle uncontrollable, and it stopped on a curb in the westbound lane of Sixth Street near Michigan Street. All three suspects — one female and two males — then exited the vehicle and fled police on foot.

Soon after, police found the female suspect near Anderson Rentals, 1312 W. Sixth St. Officers worked to secure a perimeter in the area, McKinley said, and began searching for the male suspects.

After about 15 minutes, McKinley said, the remaining suspects were located — one in the second floor of a business office at 1414 W. Sixth St., and another near the back of a home in the 500 block of Florida Street.

The man at the office building was taken into custody without incident.

The suspect at the

Florida Street home was “uncooperative,” McKinley said, and an officer used a Taser to subdue him. In accordance with Lawrence Police Department policy, the suspect was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital as a precaution, but he appeared to be uninjured by the Taser.

McKinley did not know whether a resident of the Florida Street house was home at the time of the incident; however, a woman approached McKinley after the arrests with a pair of sunglasses she allegedly found in her back yard.

McKinley said that the three will not be booked into the Douglas County Jail, and instead would be taken to the Kansas City, Kan., area for prosecutorial review in Shawnee.

Bush said the KHP assisted Shawnee police in bringing the three suspects and the allegedly stolen vehicle to the Shawnee Police Department on Wednesday evening.

The names of the suspects were not released.

THE WHOLE HOG

At Leeway Franks, butcher takes all-natural approach to sausages, franks

By Joanna Hlavacek

Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna

Lee Meisel first fell in love with sausages as a teenager growing up in rural North Dakota. It was in the midst of deer season one year that Meisel scored a job making sausages at a small butcher shop in his hometown of Mandan.

There, he learned many of the techniques that he would later use as 715’s resident butcher.

But what Meisel loved most, it turned out, was the people — the early risers who would come for their morning coffee, the groups of men who’d gather there to “shoot the (expletive)” and all the neighbors and friends who passed through the shop’s doors over the course of a day.

“I really enjoyed working the counter and interacting with the customers,” Meisel recalls decades later from behind the counter of his newly opened sausage shop and restaurant, Leeway Franks, 935 Iowa St. The name, of course, is a play on his own, and also hints at Meisel’s newly acquired “ability to do my own thing.”

The veteran butcher, who worked for three years at 715 before setting up shop at Leeway Franks earlier this month, says the store offers him a chance to do what he does best: make sausage.

He’s taking a “no-fuss, straightforward” approach at Leeway Franks, where he and his staff — a “tight-knit crew” of friends and fellow foodindustry professionals Tim McGregor and Kathryn Lunte — are serving up all-natural, locally sourced sausages (no “hot dogs” here, Meisel stresses) all made in-house by Meisel.

The 22-seat space, which is open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday in the former Daylight Donuts space in the Hillcrest Shopping Center, calls to mind the classic — and sometimes offbeat — treats Meisel enjoyed as a kid, notably the concession stands he and his grandfather encoun-

LEE MEISEL, BUTCHER AND OWNER OF LEEWAY FRANKS, MAKES HIS OWN SAUSAGES at the newly opened restaurant, 935 Iowa St. Leeway serves a variety of sausages, from an all-beef frankfurter to classic bratwursts, all made in-house by Meisel. Below, a Polish sausage and tater tots are pictured.

tered along lakes in Saskatchewan during their annual summertime fishing trips.

French fries smothered in gravy became a favorite over the years, he says.

“The idea is to have a personal-memory-driven story,” Meisel says of his vision for Leeway Franks. “I think sausage — and properly prepared sausage — can evoke a lot of memories.”

For now, he’s sticking to the classics, with an emphasis on quality over quantity.

Just about everything at Leeway Franks is made inhouse, from the all-beef frankfurters found in Meisel’s signature Classic Coney (a riff on Nathan’s Original Coney Island dog topped with brown mustard, sauteed onions and sauerkraut) to pork bratwursts and Polish sausages.

The menu also includes a breakfast sandwich (with sausage, of course) and a pork chop sandwich. Sides range from french fries to homemade tater tots — with the exception of the breakfast sandwich, which comes with Texas toast.

Meisel says he’s started to integrate some daily specials (German-style currywurst and sweet Italian sausage, for example) and hopes to offer a kids’ menu down the line as well as a few wild-game selections like bison.

But don’t expect to find a veggie dog or even a salad on the menu any time soon, he says.

“We’re not going to be pretend to be something we’re not.

I’m a butcher — not a chef,” says Meisel, who also teased the possibility of expanding into a drive-thru at some point. “I

don’t see there ever being microgreens on a sausage.”

At Leeway Franks, sausages remain the star of the show.

They’re made without fillers, and are wrapped in natural casings (i.e., intestines) that give each bite a little “snap,” Meisel says.

He describes his shop as a “nose-to-tail” operation. Meisel breaks down whole hogs (which he sources, like Leeway Frank’s beef, from Kansas ranchers) inhouse, grinds the meat to make sausages and uses the bones to produce a stock for the gravy, which he pours over his freshcut french fries.

It’s hard work, to be sure, and not exactly a common practice these days, but for Meisel, whose family boasts three generations of North Dakota cattle ranchers, it’s simply how things should be done. The approach has been a hit so far, as the restaurant has been so busy that Meisel has had trouble keeping up with customer demand for sausages in the first couple weeks of business.

“It comes down to getting the highest-quality ingredients we can and preparing them as best we can,” Meisel says. “We want to get utility out of these animals and do them justice.”

Congress should reject Iran pact

EDITORIALS

True facts Using incomplete or incorrect ‘facts’ to make his points is damaging the credibility of the Kansas governor.

G

ov. Sam Brownback’s sloppy — or calculated — misuse of various figures to illustrate his administration’s successes is taking a toll on his credibility.

Fortunately, political reporters are taking a harder look at the governor’s “facts” and shedding light on cherrypicked data and faulty comparisons.

The latest instance was last week when the governor decided to defend his education policies by touting the “fact” that the average teacher salary in Kansas was significantly higher than the average in neighboring Missouri.

Saying that “we need more facts in the education debate,” Brownback presented a chart showing that Kansas teachers earn an average of $7,060 per year more than Missouri teachers.

Although a Brownback staffer defended the figures as an “apples to apples” comparison, reporters quickly found that was not the case. Not only were 2014-15 Kansas salary figures being compared to 2013-14 Missouri salaries, but, unlike the Missouri figures, the Kansas total included fringe benefits. A check with Missouri officials resulted in figures showing that the average salary for Kansas teachers is higher than for Missouri teachers but only by about $1,255 a year, not more than $7,000.

Brownback’s office issued a statement later that day acknowledging the governor’s figures were wrong but said correct figures still “indicate Kansas teachers earn more per year than do Missouri teachers.” So there.

(The Kansas Association of School Boards later released figures from the National Center for Education Statistics showing Kansas salaries actually were slightly below Missouri’s.)

During the same press conference, Brownback also cited figures that showed Kansas had added 5,700 jobs in June and had 11,500 more jobs than in June 2014. When asked about an analysis by Governing Magazine that showed Kansas had added only 1,700 jobs since December 2014, Brownback quickly pivoted, calling the six-month figures “a snapshot” and putting the focus on private sector job growth. He told reporters his administration was not “cherrypicking” numbers to make the situation look better and pointed to a 1.1 percent increase in private sector jobs between June 2014 and June 2015. “This is what I told you I was going to do, what we ran on: private sector job growth.”

The job numbers are a case where the figures Brownback is citing may not be wrong but could be misleading to the public. The same is true for the administration’s repeated contentions about increases in K-12 school funding when a large portion of that “increase” resulted from including the cost of payments to the teachers’ retirement fund in the funding total.

It’s natural for any politician to try to pick the figures that make him or her look better. However, when the governor continues to tout self-serving “facts” that don’t fully and accurately reflect various situations, it makes it look like he doesn’t want Kansans to know the truth, and that’s not good.

Washington — It came two days after the announcement of the nuclear agreement with Iran, yet little mention was made on July 16 of the 70th anniversary of the first nuclear explosion, near Alamogordo, N.M. The anniversary underscored that the agreement attempts to thwart proliferation of technology seven decades old.

Nuclear-weapons technology has become markedly more sophisticated since 1945. But not so sophisticated that nations with sufficient money and determination cannot master or acquire it.

Iran’s determination is probably related to America’s demonstration, in Iraq and Libya, of the perils of not having nuclear weapons.

Critics who think more severe sanctions are achievable and would break Iran’s determination must answer this: When have sanctions caused a large nation to surrender what it considers a vital national security interest?

Critics have, however, amply demonstrated two things: First, the agreement comprehensively abandons President Obama’s original goal of dismantling the infrastructure of its nuclear weapons program. Second, as the administration became more yielding with Iran, it became more dishonest with Americans. For example, John Kerry says we never sought “anywhere, anytime” inspections. But on April 6, Ben Rhodes, Obama’s deputy national security adviser, said the agreement would include “anywhere, anytime” inspections. Kerry’s co-negotiator, Wendy Sherman, breezily

George Will

georgewill@washpost.com

“

The best reason for rejecting the agreement is to rebuke Obama’s long record of aggressive disdain for Congress …” dismissed “anywhere, anytime” as “something that became popular rhetoric.” It “became”? This is disgraceful.

Verification depends on U.S. intelligence capabilities, which failed in 2003 (Iraq’s supposed possession of WMD), in 1968 (North Vietnam’s Tet offensive) and in 1941 (Pearl Harbor). As Reuel Marc Gerecht says in “How Will We Know? The coming Iran intelligence failure” (The Weekly Standard, July 27), “The CIA has a nearly flawless record of failing to predict foreign countries’ going nuclear (Great Britain and France don’t count).”

During the 1960 campaign, John Kennedy cited “indications” that by 1964 there would be “10, 15 or 20” nuclear powers. As president, he said that by 1975 there might be 15 or 20. Nonproliferation efforts have succeeded but cannot completely succeed forever.

It is a law of arms control: Agreements are impossible

until they are unimportant.

The U.S.-Soviet strategic arms control “process” was an arena of maneuvering for military advantage, until the Soviet Union died of anemia. Might the agreement with Iran buy sufficient time for Iran to undergo regime modification? Although Kerry speaks of the agreement “guaranteeing” that Iran will not become a nuclear power, it will. But what will Iran be like 15 years hence?

Since 1972, U.S. policy toward China has been a worthy but disappointing two-part wager. One part is that involving China in world trade will temper its unruly international ambitions. The second is that economic growth, generated by the moral and institutional infrastructure of markets, will weaken the sinews of authoritarianism.

The Obama administration’s comparable wager is that the Iranian regime will be subverted by domestic restiveness. The median age in Iran is 29.5 (in the United States, 37.7; in the European Union, 42.2). More than 60 percent of Iran’s university students, and approximately 70 percent of medical students, are women. Ferment is real.

In 1951, Hannah Arendt, a refugee from Hitler’s Germany, argued bleakly (in “The Origins of Totalitarianism”) that tyrannies wielding modern instruments of social control (bureaucracies, mass communications) could achieve permanence by conscripting the citizenry’s consciousness, thereby suffocating social change.

The 1956 Hungarian Revolu-

tion changed her mind: No government can control human nature or “all channels of communication.”

Today’s technologies make nations, including Iran, porous to outside influences; intellectual autarky is impossible. The best that can be said for the Iran agreement is that by somewhat protracting Iran’s path to a weapon it buys time for constructive churning in Iran. Although this is a thin reed on which to lean hopes, the reed is as real as Iran’s nuclear ambitions are apparently nonnegotiable.

The best reason for rejecting the agreement is to rebuke Obama’s long record of aggressive disdain for Congress — recess appointments when the Senate was not in recess, rewriting and circumventing statutes, etc.

Obama’s intellectual pedigree runs to Woodrow Wilson, the first presidential disparager of the separation of powers.

Like Wilson, Obama ignores the constitutional etiquette of respecting even rivalrous institutions.

The Iran agreement should be a treaty; it should not have been submitted first to the U.N. as a studied insult to Congress. Wilson said that rejecting the Versailles Treaty would “break the heart of the world.” The Senate, no member of which had been invited to accompany Wilson to the Paris Peace Conference, proceeded to break his heart. Obama deserves a lesson in the cost of Wilsonian arrogance.

Knowing little history, Obama makes bad history.

Trump populism reminiscent of Chavez The conventional wisdom is that Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump is a populist clown who won’t be able to set the Republican agenda or capture the Republican nomination, much less win the 2016 presidential election. But the conventional wisdom has often been wrong.

Trump’s rise from a real estate mogul and reality show performer to the No. 1 Republican hopeful in the latest polls — he’s leading with 24 percent of vote, followed by Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker with 13 percent, and former

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

“

Both used the same campaign strategy of making outrageous statements on a daily basis to capture the headlines and place themselves at the center of the political stage.”

Florida Gov. Jeb Bush with 12 percent, according to a Washington Post/ABC News poll — reminds me of the rise of the late Venezuelan populist leader Hugo Chavez.

Like Trump, Venezuela’s anti-American demagogue was not taken seriously by many when he started his campaign in the late-1990s.

Granted, Trump and Chavez come from opposite sides of the political spectrum. Trump is the epitome of capitalism, a billionaire who says “I’m rich,” claims to be worth $10 billion — although independent reports put his wealth at much less — and openly calls for

a more capitalist world.

Chavez was an army officer who called for socialism.

But both Trump and Chavez have a lot in common: They share the three key characteristics of populism.

First, populists need to create an enemy, so that they can become leaders of a national cause. And if the enemy is foreign, so much the better.

Trump has chosen Mexicans as the enemy, claiming that the United States is being invaded by a flood of undocumented Mexicans, which Mexico is allegedly exporting on purpose.

Mexico is “sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems. They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime,” Trump said.

Never mind that such claims are wrong. In fact, not only are the vast majority of Mexican immigrants good, hard-working people, but illegal immigration from Mexico has fallen to record lows: from about 400,000 per year about a decade ago to 125,000 nowadays, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.

But Mexico-bashing has become a cornerstone of Trump’s campaign. Nationalist populism seems to be working for him.

Second, populists constantly play the victimization game, claiming that they are about to be killed by the enemy at any time.

As ridiculous as it sounds, Trump said last week during a visit to Laredo, Texas, that he was putting himself in “great danger” by traveling to that border city. But “I have to do it, I love this country” he added, with a touch of drama.

Before his visit, he had told Fox News that “I may never see you again.”

Never mind that Laredo is one of the safest cities in Texas, nor that Laredo’s murder, robbery and assault rates are lower than those of Trump’s hometown of New York City, according to statistics collected from police departments by the FBI, and cited July 23

by The Washington Post’s The Fix column.

Third, most populists are ego-maniacs. We used to describe Chavez in this column as a “narcissist-Leninist” president, because his favorite word was “I.” In a speech on Jan. 15, 2011, Chavez used the word “I” 489 times.

Trump doesn’t make fivehour-long speeches, like Chavez, but he managed to utter the word “I” 220 times during his 42-minute announcement speech on June 16.

There is another thing

that Trump and Chavez have in common: Both used the same campaign strategy of making outrageous statements on a daily basis to capture the headlines and place themselves at the center of the political stage.

After each of his tirades, Trump blasts the media for allegedly distorting his comments, which again generates a new round of headlines. That’s exactly how Chavez — without money or a political machine — won his first election in 1998.

My opinion: In an ideal world, the media should ignore Trump, or put him in the entertainment section, as The Huffington Post has decided to do. But Trump is news, whether we like it or not, if nothing else because he has already climbed to the No. 1 spot among Republican hopefuls.

He may not win the Republican nomination, but he is likely to set the Republican agenda, or — as Ross Perot did before — run as an independent and siphon away Republican votes in 2016. It’s time to take Trump seriously for what he is: a nationalist populist demagogue. Just like Chavez.

Shawnee, said there have been numerous audits in the past of the state foster care system, and none has resulted in significant changes.

“It would be a lesson in futility,” she said. “I don’t know what the answer is, but I don’t think this is going to reveal anything that’s going to be substantive enough (to justify putting it ahead of other scheduled audits).”

Trimmer said after the meeting that he was disappointed the committee did not approve the audit. He said he would try again in December when the Post Audit Committee meets again to set a schedule for audits next year.

“I think there was reluctance by Republicans on the committee to look at any agencies in the current administration,” Trimmer said.

Earlier this month, Douglas County District Judge Peggy Carr Kittel wrote to DCF, expressing concern about rumors she has heard that the agency is planning to change its policies so that only married couples can be licensed as foster parents, a move that could exclude single individuals or cohabiting couples.

Others have suggested the agency is considering barring gay couples from being foster parents.

DCF spokeswoman Theresa Freed said the agency is reviewing all of its foster care policies to determine if they are sufficient to ensure the safety of children. But she has not said whether the agency is considering a change to limit the program only to married couples.

They represent regions where two high-profile cases of children dying while in foster care have occurred.

“In the last couple of years, I’ve been getting more and more and more concerns presented to me about supervision not being done, placements being changed fairly radically quickly and care plans not being followed through with,” Ward told the committee.

“Not just by people whose children are involved in these cases, where you always have a high level of complaint,” he said, “but by providers and people who have worked the system, both inside the agency and outside the agency that have a lot of interaction with the cases, with the children, with the families.”

One of the recent deaths occurred in July 2014: A 10-month-old girl in El Dorado died when her foster father left her in a hot car while he was smoking marijuana in the home of his drug dealer.

He later pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter.

And in December, a 10-year-old boy in Wellington was stabbed to death by his mother, a woman who reportedly had struggled with bipolar disorder. Trimmer said he believed that was a case in which child welfare officials should have known about potential danger to the boy’s welfare.

“These are the most vulnerable, the weakest, and they have (been) victims,” Ward told the committee.

“Remember, these children have already gone through crisis in their family.

They’ve been physically abused, sexually abused, emotionally abused, or grossly neglected, or we wouldn’t be talking about them being in foster care.”

Ward and Trimmer asked for an audit to look into two questions: whether DCF’s removal and reunification processes are adequate to ensure children’s safety and whether foster care contractors have sufficient capacity to provide necessary care.

Governmental auditing in Kansas is done by the Legislative Division of Post Audit, an agency within the legislative branch of government. It works under the direction of the Post Audit Committee and has no independent authority to conduct audits unless they are approved by the committee.

Republicans on the panel voted against launching an audit immediately, in part, they said, because the Department of Children and Families is already conducting its own review of the foster care system, including the qualifications it requires of foster parents.

They also noted that an interim legislative committee will hold hearings this fall to review the foster care system and the qualifications it requires of foster parents.

Sen. Julia Lynn, ROlathe, said DCF should not be the target of investigation because decisions about placing children in state custody are made by judges.

“I am not quite sure that we’re at the point where this particular scope statement is ready to go forward because there are extraneous issues involved that are bigger than DCF,” she said.

In a sign of its resilience, the Islamic State appears to have recruited fighters to offset 15,000 militants killed in a U.S.led airstrike campaign approaching its anniversary, U.S. military and intelligence estimates show.

More than 5,500 airstrikes by a U.S.-led coalition in Iraq and Syria that began Aug. 8, 2014, have forced the Islamist group to disperse its fighters, making them less of a threat, according to the military estimates.

A year ago, the CIA said it believed the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS, had from 20,000 to 31,500 fighters in Iraq and Syria. The estimate remains the same this year, said a U.S. intelligence official, who asked not to be named because he was not authorized to discuss the issue.

The U.S.-led coalition confirmed the 15,000 figure but would not discuss it publicly. The deaths are tracked as part of daily battle damage assessments and coalition efforts to avoid civilian casualties. Aerial surveillance assesses the impact of airstrikes, including enemy casualties.

One reason the military does not trumpet death estimates is lingering embarrassment from the Vietnam War, when the Pentagon announced daily enemy death figures as a sign of military progress. Those counts proved to be exaggerated and U.S. troops ultimately withdrew from Vietnam, having failed to defeat the army of communist North Vietnam.

In the current conflict, the U.S. military has warned that death tolls are a poor measure of progress in the conflict. Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told U.S. troops in Iraq this month that battling the Islamic State will last for years and will involve countering its brutal ideology in addition to battlefield showdowns.

Commanders said the daily air campaign, combined with successes by Iraqi and Kurdish ground forces, have weakened ISIL. “The tide of momentum has begun to creep against them,” said Brig. James Learmont, a British coalition official in Baghdad. He said there is evidence militants who try to desert are assassinated.

Says Andrew Krepinevich, an analyst at the Center for Budgetary Assessments, of ISIL body counts: “They don’t show any signs of running out of people.”

WASHINGTON One is a high school counselor. Two or three work in restaurants. Some can’t find a job. Others have slipped into obscurity.

The Obama Eight, as they call themselves, don’t fit into easy categories, except for this: They were all convicted of drug crimes, and they were among the first to have their sentences commuted

by President Obama.

As Obama prepares to issue more commutations in the last months of his presidency — part of an aggressive attempt to use his pardon power to shorten long drug sentences — many of them say they feel the weight of criminal justice changes on their shoulders. If any one of them returns to prison, it could taint the clemency initiative and make it harder for other deserving inmates to be released, they say.

They’ve become leading voices for leniency, especially for drug crimes. Last year, many of them came to Washington to lobby members of Congress and meet

with Pardon Attorney Deborah Leff, the Justice Department official whose job it is to make clemency recommendations to the president.

After nearly three years without commuting a single sentence, Obama has issued 89 commutations as president. It’s a record that ranks as one of the “least merciful” in presidential history, said P.S. Ruckman Jr., a political scientist who blogs about the president’s pardon power.

Of the 89, one died shortly after her release, 47 have yet to be released, and 21 were released Tuesday. The 46 sentences Obama commuted this month won’t be completed until Nov. 10. (As recently as the Clinton administration, people whose sentences were commuted were released the same day.)

The other 20 are free. The Obama Eight have been out the longest, most of them a little more than a year.

In many ways, the challenges they face are not unlike anyone else released from prison after a long sentence: finding a job, reuniting with relatives, getting a driver’s license and adjusting to the speed of an Internet-driven world that barely existed when they were sent away.

“They have won the lottery of commutation from the president,” said Julie Stewart of Families Against Mandatory Minimums, which has encouraged Obama to use his clemency power to shorten long sentences.

“I think clemency is an unbelievably random act that is a huge gift when you get it, and an utter devastation when you’re denied.”

THE OBAMA EIGHT

‘I was buried. ... Now I have a new life’

They are among the first people to have their sentences for drug convictions commuted by President Obama. They’ve been out for about a year, facing the challenges and responsibilities of a new start outside confinement, and they want to set an example, so more prison doors swing open.

Ezell Gilbert

Stephanie George

Planned to drive a truck

Gilbert was 25 years old in 1997 when he was arrested for selling crack cocaine and marijuana out of his car in a Tampa housing project. Buyers would get in and out of his car to buy their drugs while his 5-year-old daughter sat in the back seat, prosecutors said.

When police arrived, he tried to flee — without his daughter.

Despite misgivings about the length of the mandatory minimum sentence, the judge gave Gilbert 24 years in prison.

Then his case took a number HILLSBOROUGH of odd turns. He COUNTY SHERIFF appealed his sentence, arguing that his gun possession conviction wasn’t a violent crime, thus he couldn’t be labeled a “career violent offender.”

His appeals were denied, then granted, then denied again. For 10 months beginning in 2010, he was released from prison, married his girlfriend and took on odd jobs before losing an appeal and being sent back to prison.

His attorney, Allison Guagliardo, said Gilbert has declined interviews since being released. She told The Tampa Tribune when he was released in 2013 that he looked forward to being reunited with his wife, three daughters and newborn grandson and hoped to work as a truck driver after getting a commercial driving course in prison.

Clarence Aaron Denied by Bush

Clarence Aaron’s case did more to highlight problems in the pardon system than any other single case since President Clinton’s midnight pardons of 2001.

An inspector general’s investigation found that Pardon Attorney Ronald Rodgers misrepresented key facts of the Aaron case to President George W. Bush.

White House officials told The Washington Post that had they known the sentencing judge and prosecutor both supported Aaron’s application, they would FAMILY PHOTO have supported clemency.

President Obama commuted Aaron’s sentence — five years after Bush denied it — and replaced Rodgers.

“Do I have hard feelings? I don’t. I’m glad the situation came about, because it opened up a light for other people,” Aaron said. “More cases are now being reviewed.”

Aaron said the publicity around his case has helped him to readjust to life after prison.

He works at a restaurant and mentors middle-schoolers in his hometown of Mobile, Ala.

‘The girlfriend problem’

NATHAN ARMES FOR USA TODAY

Billy Ray Wheelock, second from right, and family members say a blessing over food served during a family reunion in Denver. In 2013, President Obama granted Wheelock clemency.

Billy Ray Wheelock Don’t shy away

As he was serving what was supposed to be a life sentence for drug trafficking, Billy Ray Wheelock met a woman online through a Muslim dating site.

“She said one thing that won my heart completely. And this was even before I knew I would be released,” he said. “She visited me and she said, ‘Billy, if this is the life God chose for me, then even if you have a life sentence, I’m going to love you forever.’ ” Two months later, Wheelock

learned his sentence had been commuted.

Two days after leaving a halfway house, they married.

Wheelock studied restaurant management and heating and air conditioning while in prison.

He said a disability has slowed him down — he injured his foot in a prison football league after winning seven straight championships — but he’s working on a number of ventures, from a book about his time in prison (working title:

Faith Without a Date), to motivational speaking and counseling prison inmates.

He said a commutation should give job seekers a leg up.

“What better reference can you give an employer?” he said.

“In order for you to get executive clemency from the president, that means you have to be on your best behavior during the time you were in prison.

“You shouldn’t shy away from where you’ve been. Use it as your weapon.”

Stephanie George was released from prison at 8 a.m. April 17, 2014. By 9 a.m., she was taking the state licensing exam to regain her cosmetology license.

Before serving 17 years of a life sentence, George worked in her mom’s beauty shop and did hair out of her home. That’s where she was in 1996 when police raided her place and found 500 grams of cocaine.

Because of her record selling smaller amounts of drugs — always for her drugdealing boyfriends — she received a life FAMILY PHOTO sentence.

“She was a victim of what we call ‘the girlfriend problem,’ ” said Thomas Means, her Washington attorney.

“There’s these cases and then there’s a billion others with very appealing facts that cry out to you, ‘This is an injustice.’ You just can’t take them all.”

While she was in prison, she said, someone stole her identity to get a loan, and when the loan went into default, the bank was told she was dead.

She works 25 hours a week at a buffet restaurant but has had trouble getting anything more.

“I can honestly say I’ve probably filled out some 400 applications. I’ve had a lot of people calling me for interviews once they see my résumé,” she said.

Once they ask her about her criminal conviction, “everything goes downhill from there.”

Helen A. Gray

Jason Hernandez

Ricky E. Patterson

Reynolds Wintersmith

When Helen Alexander Gray went to prison, her 18-year-old was left to watch over her 16year-old. By the time she got out, she was a great-grandmother.

“They were by themselves,” she said. “They never spend a night without me. When they took me, they took everything from me. Then in 20 years, your children get grown and go about their business.”

Gray denies she dealt drugs, but she got more time than her boyfriend and co-conspirator.

“He qualified for the drug program,” she said, referring to a program that gives time off for drug treatment. “I never sold any drugs. I never smoked a cigarette, I didn’t drink beer. Never touched liquor.”

In her clemency petition, she claimed sexual harassment by prison officials. She said she was delighted when President Obama visited a prison, and she hopes he can root out the problems in the system.

The commutation hasn’t helped her find a job outside prison. In her petition, she said she wanted to work in a mortuary or a restaurant.

“I need a job, and I want a job.

I’m not going to lie. I have a convicted felony,” she said. “I want to come in your door straight and tell you from the get-go.”

President Obama granted Jason Hernandez his freedom in 2013, but he’s still not completely free.

Obama commuted Hernandez’s sentence from life to 20 years. He was still short of those 20 years, so he spent a year in a halfway house and is serving home confinement until Aug. 11.

He can drive to work or to the store, but he has to check in with the Bureau of Prisons each time.

Hernandez isn’t complaining. “I have a FAMILY PHOTO smile on my face when I tell you my story. I was practically dead for 17 years. I felt like I was buried alive. And now I have a new life,” he said.

Hernandez works at Cafe Momentum, a Dallas restaurant that gives on-the-job training to young offenders, as a supervisor and mentor. He’s worked as a welder on the side and even turned down a job as a paralegal.

“It’s really not about the money. I learned the hard way that money’s not everything.”

He said he suspects his early release is some kind of presidential experiment, to see if it works.

“I kind of live my life like that.”

Unlike a full pardon — which restores all civil rights to someone convicted of a crime — the commutation of a sentence often comes with strings attached.

For each of the Obama Eight, those strings came in the form of at least five years of court supervision. For Ricky Eugene Patterson, it was 10 years.

Patterson had an exemplary prison history. Prison records show he earned “outstanding work reports,” maintained a healthy lifestyle and participated in religious services twice a week.

He took classes in restaurant management.

Over 18 years of his life sentence, he petitioned the court for a modification of his sentence seven times. Each time, it was rejected.

Then in 2013, Obama commuted his sentence. Obama asked the court to modify his sentence by removing the supervision, arguing that he “has tried to live a productive life by holding steady employment while supporting himself.” Patterson did not return calls to his home or through his attorney or to a letter seeking comment.

The government argues that the amount of cocaine he was caught with was “significant,” and it noted previous charges for drug trafficking, violating his probation and escaping from custody.

Obama’s commutation of Reynolds Wintersmith’s life sentence raised eyebrows because of his relationship to Deval Patrick, the Massachusetts governor and a close Obama ally. Patrick said he didn’t recall ever meeting his first cousin and wasn’t involved in the clemency process, The Boston Globe reported.

The brief controversy over his release — and the 21 years in prison that preceded it — still weigh on Wintersmith.

“There are some questions FAMILIES AGAINST I’m not going to MANDATORY MINIMUMS answer. This is my life you’re talking about,” he told a reporter.

“I’m not living it over and over again. I don’t have to talk about the past any longer, because I’m in a better position now.

“If you Google ‘Reynolds Wintersmith,’ the only thing that’s attached to my whole life is me getting out of a prison,” he said. “I still face certain perceptions. I need to work doubly hard to make sure I’m not misunderstood.”

Wintersmith lives in Chicago, where the principal of a charter school for former high school dropouts gave him a job.

“But I think the burden is also on us to make the case.”

IN BRIEF OBAMA WORKS OVERTIME TO SELL IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL

It’s going to be hard for congressional opponents to derail the Iran nuclear agreement, but President Obama and aides are mounting an aggressive campaign for it anyway.

Obama and other backers of the deal are busy making the case that it will deny Iran the ability to make nuclear weapons and remove the prospect of military confrontation with Tehran.

In making its case, the Obama administration is facing a Republican-run Congress where leaders say the inspections system outlined in the agreement is leaky, and will give Iran room to cheat.

While congressional Republicans have the numbers to force through a “resolution of disapproval” of the agreement, Obama would veto it — forcing opponents to round up a two-thirds majority vote to actually defeat the deal.

The effort comes after a report this year from the Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general that found screeners missed mock bombs and weapons in tests 67 of 70 times.

Transportation Security Administrator Peter Neffenger said he met with the inspector general to learn how the failures happened. “My highest priority is to ensure solutions to the recent covert testing failures,” Neffenger said. “This is a huge concern, and it greatly disturbs me that we had that failure at the checkpoint.”

Aircraft debris linked to MH370 Investigators have ‘confidence’ of connection Doug Stanglin and Bart Jansen USA TODAY

Aircraft debris found off the coast of Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean appears to belong to the same type of plane as Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which vanished more than a year ago, a U.S. official told the Associated Press

on Wednesday.

French aviation experts will examine an aircraft wing tip — possibly a flap — and other debris to determine whether it came from the Boeing 777-200ER, which disappeared after taking off from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on March 8, 2014, bound for Beijing with 239 people aboard. No trace of the plane has been found,

despite months of searches.

Investigators have a “high degree of confidence” that a photo of aircraft debris is of a wing component unique to the Boeing 777, said the official, who was not identified.

Pollard backers target U.S. law Israelis want convicted spy to be able to move there Michele Chabin

Special for USA TODAY

Now that convicted spy Jonathan Pollard will soon be released from a U.S. prison, his ardent backers here are shifting their focus from seeking his freedom to overcoming a U.S. law that prevents him from moving to Israel for five years.

After serving nearly 30 years, Pollard, 60, was granted parole from his life sentence starting Nov. 21. Parolees are required to get government permission for foreign travel for five years after their release.

JERUSALEM

“Why won’t the U.S. government allow him to go to Israel? You’d think they would be happy to get rid of him.”

Adina Mishkoff

Pollard, a U.S. naval analyst arrested in 1985 for giving classified military intelligence documents to Israel, was granted Israeli citizenship several years after his incarceration. His second wife, Esther Pollard, an American he married while serving his sentence, has repeatedly said her husband would like to move to Israel when he gets released from prison.

That won’t happen, the White House said. “The president has no intention of altering the terms of Mr. Pollard’s parole,” Alistair Baskey, a spokesman for the White House’s National Security Council, said Tuesday. Baskey said Pollard committed “very serious crimes.”

The White House stance has angered advocates of Pollard, who has had health problems.

They have been lobbying for his release for 30 years at dozens of rallies in Israel and the United States and meetings with decision-makers in both countries “Pollard’s sentence was way over the top,” said Adina Mishkoff, an American-Israeli who lives outside Jerusalem. “Why won’t the U.S. government allow him to go to Israel? You’d think they would be happy to get rid of him.”

Not all Israelis are waiting for Pollard to move to here.

“Pollard is not an Israeli hero.

That is a fabrication with roots in political interests,” wrote Nahum Barnea in Yedioth Ahronoth.

Mullah Omar’s 2013 death is announced as peace talks near

Paul Singer USA TODAY

Jane Onyanga-Omara and Katharine Lackey USA TODAY

A

fghanistan’s main intelligence agency said Wednesday that Mullah Mohammed Omar, the one-eyed, reclusive supreme leader of the Afghan Taliban, died more than two years ago.

Abdul Hassib Seddiqi, the spokesman for Afghanistan’s National Directorate of Security, said Omar died in a Pakistani hospital near the city of Karachi in 2013.

The Taliban — which has long denied rumors of Omar’s demise — had yet to issue a statement on the announcement.

White House spokesman Eric Schultz said, “We do believe the reports of his death are credible,” but he declined to comment further.

Possible successors include Mullah Akhtar Mansour, the acting head of the Taliban, and Omar’s son, Mohammad Yacoub, who has taken on a more prominent role in the organization, an unidentified official briefed by Taliban leadership told The Wall Street Journal.

The lack of leadership does not seem to have weakened the Taliban’s operations over the past year, said Anthony Cordesman, an analyst with the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

Taliban militants have launched attacks, attempting to capitalize on the drawdown of U.S. and coalition forces.

It was unclear why Omar’s death was being confirmed days before the start of another round of peace talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban aimed at ending nearly 14 years of fighting.

The Journal said divisions within the Taliban, particularly over the peace talks, and questions about who leads the group may have finally provoked the admission that Omar is dead.

This month, the Taliban issued a message justifying the peace talks and attributed it to Omar to mark the Muslim festival of Eid al-Fitr.

Omar’s leadership appeared to unify the Taliban, and confirmation of his death could complicate peace talks if members split on whether to continue their insurgency or enter into a ceasefire agreement.

Omar may have been living in the cities of Quetta and Karachi in Pakistan since the Taliban was toppled by a U.S.-led invasion in Afghanistan in 2001, Afghan broadcaster TOLOnews reported.

The United States toppled the regime for giving safe haven to alQaeda leader Osama bin Laden before the 9/11 attacks.

The U.S. State Department put a $10 million bounty on Omar’s head.

Pakistani newspaper The Express Tribune reported that a former Afghan Taliban minister and current leadership council member, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Omar died from tuberculosis.

The ex-minister said Omar’s son identified the body, which was buried in Afghanistan, the Tribune reported.

Zawihiri was Osama bin Laden’s top adviser and assumed the job as leader of al-Qaeda after bin Laden’s death. The U.S. has indicted him in connection with the Aug. 7, 1998, bombings of U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya that killed 224 people.

WASHINGTON Federal prosecutors announced criminal charges Wednesday against Rep. Chaka Fattah, D-Pa., alleging that the 11term Philadelphia congressman conspired with others to hide a $1 million loan from a wealthy donor to his unsuccessful 2007 campaign for mayor of Philadelphia.

Fattah told reporters Wednesday that he has not been involved in any wrongdoing, but that he has not yet seen the indictment. “There is 2009 GETTY IMAGES Fattah: “A lot for a lot for us to us to digest.” digest,” he said, noting that the investigation has been going on for many years.

The 29-count indictment alleges that Fattah arranged to have a non-profit organization that he founded and controlled pay back the loan using federal grant money and charitable donations.

The indictment also alleges that Fattah agreed to help a campaign consultant pursue federal grant money to offset Fattah’s $130,000 debt to the consultant.

Prosecutors also allege that Fattah used campaign funds to pay off his son’s student loan debt.

“By misusing campaign funds, misappropriating government funds, accepting bribes and committing bank fraud, as alleged in the indictment, congressman Fattah and his co-conspirators have betrayed the public trust,” said U.S. Attorney Zane David Memeger of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

Last fall, Fattah’s political adviser, Thomas Lindenfeld, pleaded guilty to using his consulting firm to hide the $1 million loan.

Fattah said he would recuse himself from his leadership position on the House Appropriations Committee, where he serves as the senior Democrat on a subcommittee overseeing the Justice Department budget. He also serves as chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, and Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., told MSNBC he suspected Fattah would also step down from that position while the charges are pending. “I hope things come out well for him,” Clyburn said.

Al-Baghdadi got his start as a leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq. The Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, split from al-Qaeda in 2013 and grew rapidly.

Saeed is a founder of the Pakistani Taliban, which seeks to establish radical Islamist rule over India and Pakistan. “Saeed is suspected of masterminding numerous terrorist attacks, including the 2008 Mumbai attacks, which resulted in the deaths of 166 people, including six American citizens,” according to the State Department.

YASIN AL-SURI: $10 MILLION BOUNTY

The U.S. government accuses Suri of being a top al-Qaeda facilitator based in Iran. He has helped facilitate the movement of militants into Syria and Western countries.

The Des Moines Register DES MOINES How much could the bird flu possibly affect a young magician’s magic act?

Turns out, quite a bit.

The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Live Stewardship in May canceled all live bird exhibitions from county fairs and the Iowa State Fair due to the avian influenza outbreak that’s stretched across the Midwest.

Now a young magician set to perform in the Iowa State Fair Bill Riley Talent Search was told he wouldn’t be able to perform a major part of his act involving his two pet doves.

Michael Osman, a 19-yearold magician from Des Moines, was told after performing at the Warren County Fair the doves weren’t allowed.

And the doves are the stars of his show.

“It’s a huge part of his act,” Bill Riley, founder of the talent search, said Tuesday night.

“This young man is wildly talented.” Osman, who goes by Michael Oz as a stage name, said Tuesday night that he’s still hoping he’ll be able to use the doves, but he’s brainstorming other options if the bird barring holds.

“Without them it takes out a big majority of the act,” Osman said. “I thought about using

Magician Michael Osman was told he couldn’t use his pet doves in his act at the Iowa State Fair talent competition. fake birds or a rabbit or borrowing a rabbit from a friend. I also thought about poking fun at them for not letting me use my birds by using Dove shampoo.”

He said he has also been practicing with fish, so that may be an option.

Riley said he and Osman are following the Department of Agriculture’s guidelines. Riley tried to promptly warn Osman so he could find a replacement for the act.

“I just feel bad for Michael,” Riley said. “He’s a tremendous

performer. He’ll take this negative and turn it into a positive.

He’s worked way too hard to let this knock him down.”

Riley said if Osman were to use props, Riley would inform the audience and the judges of the switch that had to be made.

Osman isn’t the only one affected by the Department of Agriculture’s decision to remove the bird exhibits from the fair. Youths in FFA or 4-H who had planned on showing a rooster, hen or other poultry, were forced to pull their projects or use props, Riley said.

Facebook shares edged between gains and losses after-hours as executives spoke during a conference call about their Street-beating quarter, where sales and users — as well as expenses — grew.

But expenses grew far faster.

scrutinizing the expenses of technology companies such as Facebook and Google, said S&P Capital IQ analyst Scott Kessler.

“It seems like every quarter for Facebook the story has been the revenue performance was solid, (earning per share) exceeded estimates, but there are questions about reported or guided to expenses. People are worried about runaway, undisciplined, expenses and ultimately unsuccessful expenses,” Kessler said. “But here the proof is in the pudding. Facebook put up the growth numbers, and that is what ultimately people want to see.”

“The Street must have been expecting something pretty outlandish to react as badly as it has, because this is a really solid set of results,” said Jan Dawson, chief analyst with Jackdaw Research.

SAN FRANCISCO Today’s lesson in Silicon Valley lore: The pecking order can change awfully fast.

Take Facebook, FIRST which reported TAKE earnings of 50 cents and a 39% jump in revenue to $4.04 billion on Wednesday. As is customary, the company beat Wall Street sales estimates.

Facebook shares (FB), which ended the day up nearly 2% to $96.90 (close to a 52-week high) before earnings were announced, initially slid in afterhours trading.

The social network is now worth a jaw-dropping $267.6 billion.

That’s right, the same Facebook that stumbled out of the IPO gate in 2012 and, as recently as 2013, had a legion of doubters in Silicon Valley and on Wall Street. Today, it’s branching in multiple directions like an eight-armed digital octopus, the darling of the same business and investor community. Some suggest the 11-year-old company could have as much upside as Apple or Google.

“Facebook is well positioned, executing well, and meeting or beating expectations,” says Brian Blau, research director at Gartner.

made Facebook a go-to destination (WhatsApp, Instagram) have made Facebook a model of efficiency and creativity.

Facebook’s advertising wins have come at the expense of Twitter. While Zuckerberg & Co. have mopped up on mobile devices and desktop computers, Twitter — which has made some inroads in advertising — has had relatively little to tweet about, by comparison.

By 2017, Facebook’s slice of

worldwide ad revenue will be $23.9 billion, up from $15.5 billion this year, according to eMarketer. Twitter will reach $4.1 billion in 2017, compared with $2.1 billion this year.

Facebook’s display ad prowess has had a ripple-like effect on the tech industry: Besides its impact on Twitter, Facebook has intensified pressure on Google.

Most consumers (51%) believe Facebook ads are more in line with their interests than those (17%) who said the same of YouTube, according to a study by Adobe Digital Index.

Adobe Digital Index principal analyst Tamara Gaffney says Google has not kept pace with the way Facebook has sharpened its display ads. Facebook’s 1.2 billion users can click one button to share an ad; on YouTube, it’s clunky, she says.

Video marketers, however, are unlikely to ditch YouTube, where videos on average receive more views and have a longer shelf life than those posted on Facebook.

Facebook’s merger strategy, meanwhile, “shows wisdom and a high batting average,” says Debra Aho Williamson, principal analyst at eMarketer.

“Facebook realized it needed to be more than one app,” Williamson says.

Of course, Silicon Valley history can change quickly — from rags to riches and back — and Facebook is not immune. We should heed the words of Blau and others. Facebook is still a work in progress on several fronts: media, wearable devices and search. “(Facebook) is not yet at the same level as an Apple, Google, Microsoft or Amazon,” Blau says.

Yelp appears in need of some help.

Shares of the online reviews site toppled 28% Wednesday after it reported grim second-quarter earnings Tuesday and said chairman Max Levchin is leaving.

Yelp reported a second-quarter loss of $1.3 million (two cents a share) compared to the $2.7 million (four cents a share) profit that it registered in the same quarter a year ago, according to its earnings report released Tuesday.

Due to lower sales headcount growth and the elimination of its brand-advertising product, the company slashed revenue guidance from $544 million to $500 million for the year, which is down from prior guidance of $574 million to $579 million.

LEVCHIN BY DAVID PAUL MORRIS, BLOOMBERG

“I am extremely proud of what Yelp has accomplished over the last 11 years.”

Max Levchin, Yelp chairman since 2004

Meanwhile, the company announced that Levchin, co-founder of PayPal and an early investor in Yelp, has resigned from his position as chairman to pursue other interests, effective immediately.

The company’s board has yet to appoint a new chairman but plans to consider the issue at its September meeting.

“I am extremely proud of what Yelp has accomplished over the last 11 years and believe I leave it well-positioned to take advantage of the large local advertising market,” Levchin said in a statement Tuesday.

Yelp publishes crowd-sourced reviews online and digitizes the age-old act of word-of-mouth recommendations for local businesses.

People can access and write reviews for local businesses, ranging from boutiques to salons to restaurants. The company was founded in 2004 and has taken hold in major metros across 31 countries.

The company said approximately 83 million visitors — up 22% from last year — have visited the site via mobile devices on a monthly average basis during the second quarter.

Yelp said this quarter was the first time mobile traffic was higher than desktop, which saw about 79 million visitors on an average monthly basis.

“Consumers are increasingly turning to apps when using their mobile phones, and we are excited about the growth we’ve seen in app usage, which accelerated to 51% year to year,” the company said.

For the third quarter, Yelp expects revenue of $139 million to $142 million, which is below Wall Street estimates of $153 million.

Still, CEO Jeremy Stoppelman offered some optimism during Tuesday’s earnings report.

“We believe our rich content married with our highly differentiated local advertising product will position us well to capture a meaningful share of the large local market,” he said.

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

As economic bounce-backs go, the first estimate on second-quarter growth set for release Thursday should help put fears to rest.

It indeed looks like the early-year slowdown was nothing more than a pause caused by bad weather, fallout from a West Coast port strike and a super-strong U.S. dollar.

The median estimate of economists is for growth of 2.5%, Capital Economics says. That’s not quite the 3% pace economists had hoped for heading into the year, but robust enough to put the early-year slump in the rear-view mirror.

Since GDP growth is a backward-looking figure, it’s unlikely to have a major impact on the

Investors like what they see in BDubs’ future Q: Why are Buffalo Wild Wings’ shares hot?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Investors often are criticized for simply reacting to whether a company beat or missed profit expectations. But that wasn’t the case with Buffalo Wild Wings on Wednesday.

Shares of the hot wings restaurant chain jumped more than 10% Wednesday to roughly $193 a share — despite the fact the company missed second-quarter revenue and profit forecasts. Buffalo Wild Wings reported a quarterly profit of $1.12 a share during the quarter, which missed analysts’ forecasts by nearly 12%.

Quarterly revenue of $429.7 million came in about 1% lower than expected.

The company’s profit was hurt more than expected due to a surprisingly sharp jump — about 25% — in chicken wing prices.

Investors simply chose to focus on the positives, namely the strong sales growth at stores open at least a year. That growth was 4.8% at stores owned by the company and 2% at those owned by franchisees.

Future growth looks strong, too. Analysts are expecting the company to post an adjusted profit of $7.08 a share in 2016, which if correct, is nearly 26% growth, S&P Capital IQ says. All told, investors still think there’s upside, especially as the company looks to buy back a number of franchised locations.

Fed says labor market will dictate next interest rate hike Paul Davidson @PDavidsonusat USA TODAY

The Federal Reserve modestly upgraded its economic outlook Wednesday but did not signal whether it intends to raise interest rates in September for the first time in nearly a decade.

Some economists said a more positive appraisal of the economy at least opens the door to an increase in the Fed’s benchmark rate in as little as seven weeks.

In a statement after a two-day meeting, the Fed’s policymaking

KAREN BLEIER, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Federal Reserve policymakers left the benchmark rate near zero, where it has hovered since the 2008 financial crisis.

committee said it agreed to leave the fed funds rate near zero, as expected, where it has hovered since the 2008 financial crisis.

The Fed, however, upgraded its view of the labor market, saying it continued to improve, “with solid job gains and declining unemployment.” The statement added that “the housing sector has shown additional improvement” but that business investment and exports — hobbled by low energy prices and a strong dollar — “stayed soft.”

In a subtle but noteworthy change, the central bank said it will raise rates when it has seen “some further improvement in the labor market.” The June statement simply referred to the need for “further improvement in

the labor market.”

The tweak suggests the Fed may be closer to hiking rates because it “needs to see less by way of job creation … than it needed to see back in June,” RDQ Economics wrote in a note to clients.

The more upbeat job outlook at least paves the way for a possible Fed move in September and suggests that economic reports over the next seven weeks will be key factors in its decision.

To lift rates, the Fed also reiterated that it needs to be “reasonably confident” inflation will head toward its annual 2% target in the medium-term. That has been a

more elusive goal. With oil prices falling recently after rebounding earlier this year, the Fed removed its assertion from last month’s statement that “energy prices appear to have stabilized.”

Fed Chair Janet Yellen told Congress this month the central bank plans to boost rates this year, assuming the labor market continues to advance. Monthly job growth has averaged a solid 208,000 in 2015, and the unemployment rate has fallen to 5.3% from 10% in 2009.

But Yellen told lawmakers that wage growth and inflation remain subdued.

RUMOR PATROL Is Ben Affleck dating his children’s former nanny? An article in ‘Us Weekly’ says just that, claiming that newly single Affleck, recently split from Jennifer Garner, is romancing a nanny who worked for the former couple. The magazine quotes unnamed sources who say Affleck and the nanny flirted, communicated over text and e-mail and spent time together at his rental home after he and Garner announced their breakup. But Brooke Blumberg, a rep for the actor, strongly denies the allegations. “The story is full of lies,” she said in a statement. “You shouldn’t be able to hide behind ‘blind sources’ and attempt to destroy families going through a difficult time. It’s shameful. We are considering legal options.”

There were serious doubts when Jason Segel was cast as the tragic genius David Foster Wallace in The End of the Tour.

Segel, 35, has made a career portraying affable, endearing personalities — from Gary, BFF to a muppet named Walter in The Muppets, to goofy Marshall in TV’s How I Met Your Mother.

But in Tour (opens Friday in New York and Los Angeles), Segel steps up to the complex role of Infinite Jest author Wallace, who struggled with depression and killed himself in 2008 at age 46.

The film depicts a five-day interview with Rolling Stone writer David Lipsky (Jesse Eisenberg).

“We sometimes buckle when someone we know takes on a more dramatic role,” says Tour director James Ponsoldt. “Perhaps it shows the limits to our imagination.”

The doubts have turned to accolades. The Hollywood Reporter calls Segel’s performance “heartbreaking.” Here’s how he made the transformation.

EMPLOYING THE BANDANNA

Wallace’s unorthodox look is a significant discussion point in Tour. Segel couldn’t grow his hair

LISTENING TO THE TAPES

Author David Foster Wallace (Jason Segel) goes on a five-day touring interview with a Rolling Stone reporter. out while shooting Mother, so he relied on hair extensions.

“You can take the bandanna, the long hair or those clothes, individually,” Segel says. When they all came together, “that’s when I felt really comfortable to walk out as David Foster Wallace.”

The filmmakers took pains not to fixate on a physical imitation of the author. “We basically tried to get as accurate as possible without making it feel like an impression or a sketch,” Segel says.

READING WALLACE’S WORK

The voluminous writings — espe-

A24

cially Wallace’s seminal 1,079page Infinite Jest — were key to understanding him. Segel, who wrote The Muppets and is working on The Lego Movie spinoff Billion Brick Race, started there.

“It’s a massive undertaking as a reader. And that puts in perspective what a massive undertaking it was as a writer,” he says.

Every week, he’d read 100 pages and discuss the work on Sunday with three friends in a book club. “It was one of the best experiences I have ever had,” he says. “To have four people with different life experiences and

Tour is adapted from Lipsky’s book Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself: A Road Trip With David Foster Wallace. Lipsky recorded most of the discussion centering on the end of Wallace’s 1996 Infinite book tour. Segel dived into the audiotapes for context.

“It was a really fun trip. You want to be in the back of that car, listening to these guys talking about serious issues and what’s on the radio.”

There was also a video of Wallace’s Charlie Rose interview during that period. “I watched that video over and over and zeroed in on his speech patterns, the way he used his hands,” Segel says.

UNDERSTANDING THE SIZE

At 6-foot-4, Segel related to Wallace’s athletic build.

“He was such a big guy, too.

There is a thing you do to equalize yourself to people, sort of hunch over, slumping. That really helped.

“I know what it’s like to inhabit this body. It helps make you aware you are a little bit different.

For somebody who just wants to be anonymous, that makes it difficult.”

BEVERLY HILLS Look for some cosmetic changes and a different point of view when Trevor Noah takes over as host of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show Sept. 28.

But much of the subject matter will remain the same.

“We’re obviously changing the sets, a tiny bit. We still want the show to be recognized as The Daily Show, because that’s what it still is,” Noah said Wednesday at the Television Critics Association.

And five of Jon Stewart’s executive producers will remain.

In a 65-minute performance in Santa Monica Tuesday night, the biracial Noah, 31, discussed his mom, his poor upbringing in Soweto, South Africa, and the “bestquality racism” practiced there while showcasing his dexterity with accents and such stand-up staples as airport security and terrorism. (He wondered why it’s so often associated with Muslims

and not the murderous acts committed by white American men.)

“In terms of the content of the show, issues are not really changing in America and in the world, so it’s just a different angle. It’s my angle,” he says. “The show still has its voice, but it’s just I’m at the helm taking things in a slightly different direction. We’re still trying to get to the same end place.”

In his routine, he hinted at the sensibility, if not the structure, he will bring to a comedic institution when he succeeds host Stewart, whose final show airs next week, on Sept. 28.

Noah did not get into the kind of political humor that is a Stewart mainstay. However, speaking after the performance, he said the 2016 presidential race “will play a big part on the show.”

Noah says he and Stewart, a white New Jersey native who is more than two decades older, have different perspectives.

“If you look at issues in America right now, such as racial inequality, Jon and I come from a

totally different point of view.”

Asked about the line between offending people and playing it too safe, Noah alludes to the controversy that arose after his Daily Show appointment about past tweets that some considered sexist and anti-Semitic.

“Let me put this way.

Let’s say with tweets, for instance. A person has 9,000 tweets and you think five of them were not to your taste,” he says.

“What I’ve heard is you say is, this person has 8,995 tweets that weren’t offensive.”

He continues: “I don’t strive to be offensive; it’s not who I am as person or as a performer. But you can never control what people find as offensive or not. When people get to know you, (they) know what the baseline is. One of the great things in getting to know my audience is my audience getting to know me.”

Bragg’s progress pleases Beaty

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

While spring practices in April gave Kansas University football coach David Beaty and his new team an opportunity to say hello and work through some of the growing pains associated starting from scratch, it’s preseason camp where the most serious work will be done.

Beaty illustrated that last week at Big 12 media days in Dallas when he was asked about the progress and development of red-shirt freshman Jacob Bragg, who arrived Bragg in Lawrence as one of the top centers in the 2015 class.

“He’s a good player,” Beaty said of the 6-foot-4, 284-pound Nacogdoches, Texas, product. “I think he’s definitely gonna develop.

The thing I like in him is I’ve seen him get tougher over the last seven months and he certainly needed that.

Once he gets that, that guy could definitely help us.”

With more experienced players ahead of him on KU’s offensive line and at least three other Jayhawks vying for spots on the depth chart at Bragg’s position, Beaty was asked if he thought the former fourstar prospect was still a year away from contributing and his answer emphasized the importance of the next five weeks.

“I don’t know,” Beaty said. “He may be ready here in a month. But I wanna see more toughness out of him.”

Beaty said he had been impressed by Bragg’s versatility thus far. Although he came to Kansas as a true center, Beaty said Bragg had shown enough ability and maturity to handle playing guard should the need arise.

Beaty, who actually temporarily recruited Bragg to Texas A&M while still on the Aggies’ staff, cautioned against people forgetting about Bragg just because he did not play during his first year in Lawrence.

“The thing about him is he’s a great example of perception versus reality,” Beaty said. “Was he good?

You’re dang straight he was.

But, man, it’s hard to play as a freshman on the offensive line. It’s difficult. Very few of ’em do it. (Former A&M standouts) Jake Matthews and Luke Joeckel were the only two I’ve ever seen and both of those guys were topfive picks.”

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

Welcome back

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS STRONG SAFETY ERIC BERRY PARTICIPATES in a drill during training camp Wednesday in St. Joseph, Missouri.

Chiefs’ Berry returns to field

By Dave Skretta AP Sports Writer

St. Joseph, Mo. — There was a moment in the early stages of chemotherapy when Eric Berry was having breakfast with his father, and the enormity of what faced him was so great that he broke down and cried.

For 30 minutes, one of the toughest players on the Kansas City Chiefs wept.

Then, he resolved to beat cancer.

Eight months later, Berry walked triumphantly onto the practice fields at Mis-

souri Western State University, joining rookies and select veterans Wednesday for the start of training camp.

Six merciless rounds of draining, debilitating drugs had rid his body of Hodgkin’s lymphoma, but they had also stoked the passion that Berry still harbors for the game.

“It’s been a roller coaster,” he said, “but I wouldn’t change it for the world.”

Flanked by his father, James, and his mother, Carol, Berry spoke publicly for the first time since he was diagnosed with cancer last December. He recalled the ter-

ror that gripped him when the mass was first found in his chest, and the dark days that immediately followed.

The days he didn’t want to get out of bed. The days he struggled to choke down food, all of it tasteless. The seemingly endless trips to the hospital for each round of treatment.

“In the beginning it was hard, it really was,” James Berry said. “Those possibilities go through your mind — ‘What if he can’t play again?’

You think of those types of things, but then you kick those to the side. And when

you looked at Eric you said, ‘This guy is a fighter.’”

Such a fighter that he chose to receive treatment through an IV rather than a PICC line, a semi-permanent catheter that would have prevented him from training.

Between each round of chemo, Berry would squeeze in 10 to 12 workouts, sometimes struggling just to do five push-ups. But he never lost sight of an audacious goal: Be back with the Chiefs by the time their season opens Sept. 13 in Houston.

Cleveland’s Kluber cools Royals

Key August dates With preseason camp right around the corner, it’s time to circle a couple of key KU football dates for the upcoming month.

The Jayhawks will report for camp on Aug. 5 and begin practice on Aug. 6. Twoa-day practices will begin Aug. 12.

In addition, Fan Appreciation Day is set for 5:30 p.m. on Aug. 8, when fans will be allowed to attend an open practice and collect autographs from and pictures with their favorite KU players following the Tony Dejak/AP Photo practice.

KU opens the 2015 season CLEVELAND PITCHER COREY KLUBER DELIVERS against Kansas City. Kluber tossed a complete game, and the Indians defeated the Royals, 12-1, on Wednesday in Please see FOOTBALL, page 9C Cleveland.

Cleveland (ap) — The Cleveland Indians found the perfect way to avoid a winless homestand.

Corey Kluber took a shutout into the ninth, and rookie Francisco Lindor hit a three-run homer and had a career-high four RBIs in a 12-1 win over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday.

“We needed a day like today,” said manager Terry Francona, who was ejected in the fifth inning. “That’ll help us. Now we need to carry it over.”

Michael Brantley, Yan Gomes and rookie Giovanny Urshela hit solo homers for the Indians, who had been outscored 37-10 in losing the first six games of the homestand. Michael Bourn was 4 for 5 as Cleveland had a season-high 18 hits.

Four losses to the Chica-

go White Sox and two more to the Royals dropped the Indians to last place in the AL Central.

“It was very important for us to get our confidence back,” Lindor said. “We’ll take the things we did the right way and try to do it again tomorrow.”

Kluber (6-11) held Kansas City to five hits in his second complete game this year.

The reigning Cy Young Award winner retired the first 12 batters before Eric Hosmer’s leadoff double in the fifth. Alex Rios’ RBI groundout in the ninth scored the Royals’ only run.

Kluber, who struck out six and walked one, had been 0-3 against Kansas City this season.

It is easy to imagine that at some point late last year, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell looked back upon a scandalized season — one fraught by the Ray Rice incident, that awful video and the league’s gross mishandling of the case — considered the publicrelations mess and thought to himself, “Well, at least it can’t get any worse than this.”

Hmm. Maybe it can, after all.

A controversy over slightly underinflated footballs never seems preposterously less important than when mentioned alongside domestic violence, an actual crime with a real victim, but this also is true: The hits keep coming. The NFL keeps getting its bell rung and seeing its almighty shield dented and dirtied. And now the 2015 season, on our doorstep with training camps opening this week, will likely begin under the embarrassing shadow of the NFL, its defending champion and arguably its single biggest star mired in litigation.

We can’t know how a court case would turn out but we already know the outcome: Nobody wins.

Both sides lose.

No matter the court ruling, Goodell and the NFL just can’t seem to make it all about football again. And “Deflategate” is now permanently tattooed onto Tom Brady’s name and legacy, regardless of what happens from here.

Tuesday’s development was big. The league rejected Brady’s appeal and affirmed his original four-game suspension — Goodell in effect saying, “I uphold my decision.”

That wasn’t so surprising. The NFL determined that Brady ordered an assistant to destroy the cellphone he’d used around the time of Deflategate during last season’s playoffs, the phone containing some 10,000 texts. Brady claims he always destroys old cellphones when he gets new ones. Hmm again.

Seems far likelier he meant to erase incriminating evidence.

Now Brady is not done fighting and will appeal his four-game ban to the federal courts.

(Imagine you are a federal judge, accustomed to handling cases involving terrorism and issues of grave national importance, and now across your bench comes the matter of underinflated footballs.

Seriously!?)

Brady fighting this would be noble to those in Greater Boston and the dwindling others who steadfastly see him as falsely accused and trying to clear his good name.

This would be stupid to the rest of us.

Brady needs to be a big boy, take his hard medicine and serve his suspension now, missing the first four games of the regular season.

Nobody in his right mind thinks the action — infinitesimally underinflated footballs that had zero bearing on a game’s outcome — is anything more than a football misdemeanor worthy of a wrist slap.

But somehow, Brady’s response to the charges has managed to make the whole thing seem felonious. For me, Brady continues to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer who should be seen, first, as a champion. But he has made sure “Deflategate” must be mentioned high in his career’s summary. It isn’t to him what Watergate was to Nixon. But it’s up there.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS OWNER ROBERT KRAFT, left, and coach Bill Belichick enter a room full of reporters Wednesday in Foxborough, Massachusetts, to address NFL commissioner Roger Goodell’s action upholding quarterback Tom Brady’s four-game suspension.

Brady plans to take NFL to court Foxborough, Mass. — Tom Brady took the fight over his “Deflategate” suspension to social media and federal court on Wednesday, and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft backed the three-time Super Bowl MVP, saying “I was wrong to put my faith in the league.”

One day after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell rejected Brady’s appeal, the quarterback posted a 507-word statement on Facebook with his firmest denial yet, writing: “I did nothing wrong.” Kraft followed with an unscheduled address to the media gathered at Gillette Stadium for the opening of training camp and the team’s defense of its fourth Super Bowl championship.

“It is completely incomprehensible to me that the league continues to take steps to disparage one of its all-time great players, and a man for whom I have the utmost respect,” the Patriots owner said. “I have come to the conclusion that this was never about doing what was fair and just.”

Just before the courts closed in Minnesota, the NFL Players Association asked the court to overturn Brady’s four-game suspension — or at least put it on hold until the case can be heard.

The union asked the court to throw out the suspension before Sept. 4; that would keep Brady from missing any practices before the Patriots’ Sept. 10 season-opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

“We need to free him up for that first week,” union attorney Jeffrey Kessler told The Associated Press. “We don’t believe this discipline can ever be sustained.”

The lawsuit argues that the NFL made up its rules as it went along and misapplied the ones that were already on the books. In an interview with the AP, Kessler called it “offensive” that the league accused Brady of destroying his cellphone to obstruct the investigation, a claim NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell made in upholding the suspension on Tuesday.

“We believe they highlighted this issue solely to inflame the public, to suggest there is some secret information being withheld, and that’s wrong,” Kessler told the AP. “It’s an unfair character assassination of a player who has done nothing but be a model citizen for this league.”

Brady defended the cellphone swap on Facebook.

“To suggest that I destroyed a phone to avoid giving the NFL information it requested is completely wrong,” he said. “There is no ‘smoking gun’ and this controversy is manufactured to distract from the fact they have zero evidence of wrongdoing.”

Brady was suspended four games and the Patriots were docked $1 million and two draft picks in May for what the league found was a scheme to provide improperly inflated footballs for the AFC championship game against the Indianapolis Colts. Investigator Ted Wells zeroed in on two equipment managers — one who called himself “The Deflator” — and said Brady was “at least generally aware” of the illegal deflation scheme.

SOCCER

MLS stars top Tottenham Commerce City, Colo. — Kaka scored on a penalty kick and set up David Villa’s goal minutes later in the first half to help the best players in Major League Soccer beat Tottenham Hotspur, 2-1, on a blustery Wednesday night.

The MLS improved to 9-3-1 against international competition in its All-Star Game.

Orlando City’s Kaka and Villa of New York City FC are the new “kids” in the league and did all right. Both made their MLS debuts this season and showed their skills in the first half before taking a seat on the bench.

Harry Kane scored for the Spurs, who open the English Premier League against Manchester United on Aug. 8.

Keeper Nick Rimando of Real Salt Lake had a sensational opening 45 minutes before turning things over to David Ousted.

Ousted, who plays for Vancouver, preserved the lead in the 73rd minute when he made a sprawling save on a point-blank attempt by Josh Onomah.

U.S. national team member DeAndre Yedlin entered the game for Tottenham early in the second half and had a good chance at a goal in the 83rd minute, but sent the ball flying over the crossbar.

BASEBALL

Sources: Texas to add Hamels Philadelphia — Two people familiar with the deal say the Philadelphia Phillies have agreed to trade ace left-hander Cole Hamels to the Texas Rangers for a package of prospects.

Both people spoke to The Associated Press late Wednesday night on condition of anonymity because the trade has not been finalized.

Hamels has a limited no-trade clause but does not have to approve a deal to the Rangers.

Hamels would become the first pitcher in major-league history traded during a season immediately after throwing a no-hitter — he no-hit the Chicago Cubs on Saturday at Wrigley Field.

The 2008 World Series MVP was an integral part of the greatest run in franchise history when the Phillies won five straight NL East titles, two pennants and one World Series from 2007-11.

His trade follows Wednesday’s deal that sent closer Jonathan Papelbon to Washington.

PRO BASKETBALL

Milwaukee adds Copeland Milwaukee — The Bucks have signed free agent forward Chris Copeland, adding veteran depth to their young frontcourt.

General manager John Hammond did not announce terms of the deal Wednesday.

The 6-foot-8 Copeland played the last two seasons in Indiana, averaging 6.2 points and 2.2 rebounds in 50 games in 2014-15.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

KU target Giles to play at Oak Hill ————

Forward has Kansas on his list of final five schools

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University recruiting target Harry Giles, a 6-foot-10, 220-pound senior power forward out of Wesleyan Christian Academy in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, has decided to play basketball for Oak Hill Academy this school year.

“At this point I just really want to lock in on school and basketball at the highest level,” Giles told USA Today on Wednesday. “I feel like going to Oak Hill (in Mouth of Wilson, Virginia) will give me the chance to do both. I won’t have anything to do but be a better student and a better player.”

Giles, who is ranked No. 2 in the recruiting class of 2016 by Rivals. com, averaged 23 points, 11 rebounds, three assists and two blocks his junior year.

He has a final list of KU, Duke, North Carolina, Wake Forest and Kentucky. He’s currently setting up visits to all five schools and plans on announcing his choice in October or November.

“The tradition of the programs, the history of the players, the pride people have with those schools. They (former players) still represent them now. They still follow them,” Giles told CBSsports.com.

“It’s a good position, how strong and proud people are to be part of (those programs). Ninety five percent of people that attended these schools, people are proud to have gone there,” Giles added.

Duke is believed to be the leader following the commitment of St. Louis prep Jayson Tatum, a close friend of Giles.

“People are going to say what they have to

say,” Giles said of the Duke rumors to CBSsports.com. “Every player has his own choice. They don’t know. They don’t have a clue. They’re just assuming.”

Giles hasn’t let the attention affect his personality.

“I’m just being me,” Giles told CBSsports. com. “I never rock the boat. I hate people that rock the boat, that like to be arrogant or cocky.

I’ve caught myself doing that before and I say to myself, ‘Man, what are you doing?’ I’ve had to correct myself. I’ve told myself, ‘You’re not being yourself right now.’

I try to be appreciative because I’ve seen people who don’t have a lot of things. My parents, my grandparents — my grandfather, who works in construction. He’s worked his whole life.

He worked hard for it.

To see people have pride in every day, that they’re

struggling every day, bills are killing them, it just keeps me grounded, keeps me working hard.

To hopefully make it easier (someday) for my immediate family ... they sacrificed for me and I want to give it back.”

To read CBS’ feature on Giles go to the Web address http://ljw. bz/1Dc97nQ l Cliff’s pay: Details are beginning to emerge on the terms of the contract former KU forward Cliff Alexander has signed with the Portland Trail Blazers.

Fred Katz of Bleacher Report and Fox Sports reports Alexander’s contract is partially guaranteed for $100,000 for the first year of a two-year deal. The second year is non-guaranteed.

The 6-foot-8, 250-pound, 19-year-old Alexander, who was not selected in the 2015 NBA Draft, played for

the Brooklyn Nets during the Orlando and Las Vegas summer leagues.

He averaged 6.2 points and 6.0 rebounds in five games in Orlando and 8.5 points and 6.7 boards in six games in Las Vegas.

The Oregonian newspaper says “Alexander will have a chance to join a young front line that already includes 19-year old Noah Vonleh, Mason Plumlee (25 years old), Ed Davis (26) and Meyers Leonard (23).”

“The one wildcard is Cliff Alexander,” writes Dave Deckard of Blazersedge.com. “On the surface, he’s similar to Luis Montero (recently signed to nonguaranteed contract). He only started playing basketball in eighth grade. He’s super young and crazy long. The problem is, if his scouting reports are accurate, he doesn’t have a very high ceiling. The best thing I’ve heard about him skill-wise is that while

his jump shot doesn’t go in much his form is good.

Even for a center that’s a pretty low starting point.

Energy bigs have a place in this league but they’re not going to change the course of a franchise. And they’re not someone you risk a locker room for.” l Arthur update: The Denver Post reports that former KU forward Darrell Arthur is close to resigning with the Nuggets.

The 6-9 Arthur, who has played in Denver the past two seasons, has drawn interest from Detroit and Washington. He averaged 6.6 points and 2.9 rebounds for Denver last season.

“As valuable as he was on the court, Arthur was also a rock in the locker room. It’s the Nuggets desire to have that kind of influence return to the team,” wrote Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Pittsburgh sweeps Minnesota ————

Vintage Verlander leads Tigers past Rays The Associated Press

Interleague Pirates 10, Twins 4 Minneapolis — Andrew McCutchen hit a home run and turned an RBI single into race around the bases while Minnesota made two errors in a five-run sixth inning, helping Francisco Liriano and Pittsburgh beat the Twins Wednesday for a two-game sweep.

Jung Ho Kang homered for the second straight day for the Pirates, after going deep for the goahead run in the ninth the night before. McCutchen’s two-run, two-strike, two-out drive off Ervin Santana (2-1) in the fifth inning tied the game at 3, and the Twins unraveled in the sixth.

Cubs 3, Rockies 2 Chicago — Jon Lester struck out 14, one shy of his career high and the most for a Cubs pitcher in more than a decade, leading Chicago over Colorado.

A day after he was acquired from Toronto, Jose Reyes was 1 for 3 with a walk and a stolen base in his Rockies’ debut. The four-time AllStar, obtained in a trade that sent Troy Tulowitzki to Toronto, batted second and singled in his first at-bat for Colorado, then was caught stealing.

Berry CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

“Everybody wants you to be strong in this situation,” Berry said, “but you can’t be strong every day.

If you want to be mad today, be mad. If you want to be sad, be sad. But the thing is, don’t stay that way. Get it out of your system and go back to work.”

Berry passed a battery of tests before he was cleared to practice late Tuesday, but it remains unclear when he’ll fully participate in practice.

Chiefs trainer Rick Burkholder said Berry will be monitored constantly, especially during the early portion of camp.

Veterans report Friday.

The first full-squad workout is Saturday.

“One of the things Eric and I talked about was just being honest with us about how you’re feeling out here,” coach Andy Reid said, “and sometimes that’s hard for a player to do, especially with his makeup. He’s been great with that up to

at 11 a.m. on Sept. 5 against South Dakota State at Memorial Stadium.

Ex-Jayhawk honored Kyle Moore-Brown, who played defensive tackle at KU from 1990-

this point and I think that will continue through.”

After all, he’s in a much better place than he was eight months ago.

The three-time Pro Bowler first knew something was amiss in November, when he felt oddly out of breath after a couple of games.

When things got worse during a game against Oakland, Berry was put through a series of tests that revealed a mass in his chest. The diagnosis was Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a treatable form of cancer that affects about 9,000 people in the U.S. each year.

His treatment began Dec. 10 at Emory University’s Winship Cancer Institute, near his home in Atlanta.

And it wasn’t easy: “It literally feels like you’re dying,” Berry recalled, “but you’re not really battling chemo, you’re battling yourself the whole time. It was me versus me.”

The final round of treatment was May 13, followed by a month of recovery.

“He tolerated chemotherapy extremely well,”

said Dr. Christopher R. Flowers, who directs the cancer institute’s lymphoma program. “He achieved a complete response to treatment.”

On June 22, a follow-up PET scan showed Berry was cancer-free.

The Chiefs had just finished their mandatory minicamp, so he headed to Florida, where he trained with teammates.

Then last week, Berry headed back to Kansas City for another round of testing to make sure he was in football condition.

“It was a battle, every day, to the point where I had to set goals to get out of bed,” he said. “But I had a great support system, between my mom and dad being in the trenches with me, day in and day out, making sure I had everything I needed.”

The Chiefs are cautiously optimistic Berry will be ready for the regular season, and such a rapid return would not be without precedent: Reid said they looked at case studies involving other athletes, such as Mario Lemieux, in deciding how to proceed.

92, will be recognized as an Arena Football League Hall of Famer on Friday during the Arizona Rattlers’ game against the San Jose SaberCats.

Moore-Brown, who helped the Jayhawks win the 1992 Aloha Bowl, enjoyed 15 seasons in the AFL, playing on both the offensive and defensive lines, winning two AFL championships and being

named to the All-Ironman team three times. He also set an AFL record by starting 236 consecutive games.

“I never wanted to be average,” said MooreBrown in a news release.

“I wanted to be the best and through hard work and overcoming adversity, God saw it fit for me to be placed in the Hall of Fame.”

the year being really aggressive,” Kluber said.

“They have the best record in the league.

They’ve been hot for a while.”

Kansas City starter Jeremy Guthrie allowed three home runs — all in the sixth inning — and hit three batters, including Brantley in the fifth.

Brantley got even with his home run, which he admired from the batter’s box before slowly trotting around the bases.

Francona was ejected by plate umpire Tom Woodring after Brantley was hit in the leg. Francona was upset that Guthrie wasn’t ejected because Woodring had warned both benches after the Royals pitcher hit Jason Kipnis in the back in the second inning.

Kipnis exchanged words with catcher Drew Butera as he walked to first base. Guthrie also hit Gomes with the bases loaded in the first.

The issues between the teams began Monday when Indians pitcher Cody Anderson hit Jarrod Dyson, prompting a warning to both dugouts.

The Royals, who had won 16 of 21, still had a good stay in Cleveland, acquiring ace pitcher Johnny Cueto and Ben Zobrist.

“You’re going to have some highs and lows along the way, but the reality is we’ve got the second-best record in baseball (behind

St. Louis) at this point,” manager Ned Yost said.

The Indians’ first-inning run gave them their first lead of the homestand. Cleveland hadn’t led since July 22 against Milwaukee, a stretch of 54 innings.

Getting the boot Francona’s discussion with Woodring didn’t last very long before the manager was ejected for the third time this season.

“I didn’t think that was appropriate. I think they protect the younger umpires. If he’s old enough to throw me out, he’s old enough to listen to what I say,” Francona said.
